Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today has its challenges. (I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.) The moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual, plus it’s at odds with Saturn, which makes it tough dealing with authority figures. On top of this, most of today is a moon alert. Be prepared!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keep a low profile and cope as best you can. Most of this day is a moon alert; furthermore, you might find that systems, rules and regulations block you in some fashion. Be cool about this because you’re high visibility — bosses, parents and VIPs notice you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel cut off from a friend or a member of a group because relations with others, especially females, are distant or strained. In some cases, a relationship might end. Don’t promise anything or volunteer for anything because most of this day is a moon alert.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be careful today. For starters, you are high visibility — people notice you. Secondly, you might have difficulty dealing with partners and close friends. Whatever you want to do might be blocked or met with obstacles. Meanwhile, today is a moon alert.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Avoid controversial discussions about politics, race and religion because this is a difficult day dealing with others. Even travel plans will be difficult. It’s also a poor day to shop or agree to anything important because of the moon alert. Just coast.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might encounter financial problems with banks or something to do with shared property and inheritances. People are quick to be at loggerheads. Ironically, because it is a moon alert for most of this day — it’s a poor day to agree to anything important anyway.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you have to be accommodating and easy-going with others because the moon is opposite your sign and at odds with Saturn. Family issues could be sticky. (Not a good day to ask for permission or approval.) Don’t make a big deal about anything. Just tread water.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might find it tough dealing with bosses or authority figures either at work or regarding whatever you try to do. Others will block you or be non-cooperative. (Grrrr.) Meanwhile, most of today is a moon alert, so don’t push for anything anyhow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Children might be a handful today. Likewise, romantic relationships will be strained or difficult. Knowing this ahead of time, don’t expect too much from anyone. It’s also important to know that most of today is a moon alert, which means restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment during this window of time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Relations with family members might be strained. Don’t push the river. This is not a good day to ask for permission or approval from anyone in a position of authority. Meanwhile, during the moon alert, restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a challenging day. Relations with others are cool, distant or strained. Personally, you are strong and eager to converse; however, others might not be so friendly. Check the moon alert and avoid shopping during that time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be careful about financial matters because the moon is in one of your money houses. During the moon alert, it’s a poor day to shop for anything other than food, gas or entertainment. Take it easy. Go gently.
