Horoscope for Thursday, March 7, 2019

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This month, Mercury is retrograde, which will create confusion in your world; however, for your sign in particular, it will help you do research and discover answers from the past. If you’re looking for solutions to old problems, dig in!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This month you will run into old friends and hear from people from the past, especially from organizations and clubs to which you have belonged. Make the most of this chance to reacquaint yourself with old contacts because it’s good to have a history with others.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This month you will be in contact with parents you haven’t seen for a while or you might run into bosses and authority figures, perhaps a teacher or a professor. This could be an inspirational, exciting moment or it could be a bummer. Who knows?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This month is the perfect time to finish your book, your screenplay, your thesis, a school paper or any major study project that has been lingering forever. Now you will plow through work, study and research with surprising ease!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is the perfect month to wrap up details regarding wills, inheritances, taxes, debt and anything to do with shared property or the wealth and assets of your partner. It will be easy to do this work, even if you’ve been dreading it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Ex-partners and old friends from your past are back in your world. This could be an opportunity for closure or clarification. Or you might want to hide and pretend you don’t see them. (Just in case, look fantastic when you go because living well is the best revenge.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This month your work is plagued by silly mistakes, misplaced paperwork, mixed-up communications and problems with equipment, computers, cell phones, late deliveries and lost mail. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with these frustrating delays.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Old flames are back in your life, which could be thrilling and exciting or scary. It all depends on how the relationship ended. Parents might have a recurring problem or a recurring situation with their kids. Perhaps this time it can be resolved?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Stock the fridge because relatives will be camped on your doorstep and sleeping on your sofa this month. You might welcome this initially, but after a few days, the novelty of visitors wears thin. Especially your wisecracking brother-in-law.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Transportation delays, car problems, missed buses and trains plus mixed-up communications will be frustrating this month. Just when you need it, your cell phone will die, your car won’t start or you will have a flat tire. This is a wicked Mercury retrograde for Capricorns.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If you’re looking for work, return to places you’ve worked at or applied before because your chances will be better. Meanwhile, financial matters, even your paycheck, might be delayed this month. This month is a poor time to open a new business but a good time to finish old business.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This month Mercury is retrograde in your sign, which means you will experience delays and mixed-up situations. You might confuse an appointment or be waiting at the wrong place at the wrong time. Try to clarify everything. Slow down and double check everything. Easy does it.
