Moon Alert

We have the all clear to shop and do business. The New Moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today’s New Moon urges you to be mindful in all your communications. Be aware not only of what you say, but also of how others react to what you say. Do you need to take a different approach? Likewise, be aware of how you react to what others say to you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The New Moon this month shifts your focus to money and assets plus your values. Too often, when we look around, we see decisions based on money, but not values — family values, community values or values that benefit the lives of children or seniors. Sadly, money is the big yardstick.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The New Moon is taking place in your sign, which is the only time all year this can occur. This is a marvelous opportunity for you to begin something new. You might want to introduce something beneficial for yourself. Don’t be too ambitious. Begin in a tiny, tiny way but be consistent.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The New Moon is taking place in a hidden part of your chart, which means you will be concerned with hidden things or matters taking place behind the scenes or in your subconscious. You might want to explore your spiritual world more than usual.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today’s New Moon is your chance to think about your hopes and dreams. If you share your ideas with someone, their feedback will help you. They might encourage you to set goals with deadlines. You will be more involved with a group.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The New Moon takes place at the top of your chart, which gives you a chance to think about your style in dealing with authority figures. This often begins with the style we experienced relating to our parents. Are you aware of your attitude to authority figures?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an exciting New Moon for you because it urges you to explore ways of learning, traveling and doing anything that to expand your world and your experience of life. Where can you go? What can you learn? Medicine, the law, publishing and the media might also open doors for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are playful and you can tease; however, you’re serious about money, especially shared property, shared money and shared assets. Today’s New Moon heightens your focus on the wealth of others, shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You won’t be casual about these areas.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The only New Moon opposite from your sign is happening. This means today is one of the best days of the year for you to think how you can improve your closest relationships — marriages, partnerships and professional associations.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an excellent day to think about how you can improve your job, how you can improve your health and perhaps, how you can improve how you take care of your pet. (True.) It’s definitely a day to instigate improvements that make your life run more smoothly.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

What can you do to improve your relations with your kids? Likewise, what can you do to improve your relationship with a romantic partner? At a more personal level, do you value your creativity? Do you respect it? These are things to consider.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today’s New Moon is the best day of the year to think about how you can improve your home and also how you can improve family relationships. After all, family is gold. Ideas?

If Today Is Your Birthday
