Moon Alert
We have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Virgo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you will put your own emotional considerations second to the immediate necessities that face you. This is because you have a strong sense of duty, especially regarding service to others. (“If I don’t do this, I’m busted.”)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It’s hard to conceal your feelings from others — why would you? If you’re in love, people know it. Relations with females will be better than usual. You might also feel protective and nurturing to others. “More soup?”
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You prefer to be by yourself, especially if you can play hooky at home. You want to escape the demands of the busy world around you and seek comfort in familiar surroundings — like your bed, with junk food and a good book. Yeah!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
When talking to others, you want to get down to something meaningful. You don’t want to waste time in superficial chitchat (unless it’s really juicy). You’re inclined to act out of habit rather than looking around you and seeing what the scene really is.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
It’s easy to identify with your possessions, especially because you think they represent who you are. You might have to defend yourself in areas where, really, there’s nothing at stake. (“Hey, this is crazy, why am I doing this? Who cares?”)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. This happens for two days every month. On the upside, it makes you a bit luckier than all the other signs, which means this is the day to go for what you want. Try it! Ask the universe for a favor.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Even though you’re the most social sign in the zodiac, today you’re tempted to withdraw and keep your feelings more secret and be by yourself. (You might be dealing with some unconscious attitudes and fears.) Relax — this is a temporary, fleeting influence.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your emotional contacts with friends are important to you. Ditto for contacts with groups. This is why you feel protective or more supportive than usual to someone. You might even feel jealous if you think a friend is paying attention to someone else. Oh well.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
For two days every month, the moon is at the top of your chart, which tends to put you in the spotlight. People notice you. In fact, personal details about your private life might be public. (Yikes!) Quite likely, you’re thinking about your career and your reputation among your peers.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Do something different because you need to shake things up a little. Get out of your velvet rut. Go someplace you’ve never been. Try an ethnic restaurant. Take a short trip. Visit a library or a museum because any change of scenery will expand your world.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual. In fact, you might attract intense, powerful people to you. (“Hi Darth.”) You might also feel protective about property or your fair share of something. You might even want something that belongs to someone else? “My precious!”
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because the moon is directly opposite your sign, your attention will turn to your closest relationships. If you have conflict with others, it will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reaction to whatever somebody else does. Count to five before you react, then let them have it. (Just kidding.)
