Horoscope for Friday, July 5, 2019

Moon Alert

Caution: avoid shopping and important decisions until 11:45. p.m. Chicago time. After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are the artisan of the zodiac. You will try anything new — photography, welding, sculpting, sewing, knitting, weaving, creating fireworks — anything! Today is the perfect day to use your creative mind and explore ideas. It’s also a social, fun-loving day!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is an excellent day to cocoon at home or entertain friends and family. You want to be low-key, and relax in familiar, comfortable surroundings, preferably at home. Your interaction with a female relative might be important. Note: Restrict spending to food, entertainment and gas.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a willy-nilly day, which is why you’re not sure if you’re coming or going. For starters, it’s a Moon Alert all day. Therefore, avoid important decisions and restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment. But hey, it’s a fun, social day!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be careful. The moon is in one of your money houses ,but it’s a Moon Alert. This means even though you’re focused on money and shopping, it’s a poor day to spend money on anything other than food, gas and entertainment. (Sigh — a harsh reality.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional. However, it also makes you a bit luckier and will attract people and situations to you. Nevertheless, today is a Moon Alert all day. This means it’s a playful, fun-loving, social day; but a poor day to spend money except on food, gas and entertainment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Life has been social because you’ve been involved with groups and friends more than usual. Today is no exception. It’s a Moon Alert all day but it’s a friendly day. Nevertheless, you might prefer to hide or be low-key, and that’s just fine.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re looking good in the eyes of others, especially bosses and VIPs because the sun is at the top of your chart. Today however, the Moon urges you to be friendly with everyone, especially females. Note: Avoid shopping and important decisions. (It’s Moon Alert all day.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Further education, a chance to explore new turf, and travel will all appeal to you today. Plus because it’s a Moon Alert all day, you will enjoy socializing with others! Nevertheless, be wise and practical and restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Issues about inheritances, insurance matters and shared property are on your mind now, which is why it’s important for you to know that today is a Moon Alert all day, which means avoid important decisions, and restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment. Keep things light!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your interaction with partners and close friends is significant because the Sun is opposite your sign. Today however, the Moon is in one of your Money Houses and it’s a Moon Alert. (Eeek.) Therefore, postpone important decisions. Restrict spending to gas, food and entertainment.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a great day to socialize with others! (Your plans to get better organized might be a bit stalled in the water; but this is just for today.) Enjoy the company of others but avoid important decisions. Don’t shop for anything other than food, gas and entertainment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a creative day because you’re in touch with your muse. Explore new ideas and creative solutions, especially in the arts, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. Be smart and restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment because it’s a Moon Alert.
