Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Hello world! With your ruler fiery Mars in your own sign, you are primed to accomplish a lot. The key to your productivity will be to keep a fine balance between impulse and a steady effort. You can do this!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Primarily, you’re in play mode. And with Venus in your house of communications, you are oh so charming! Nevertheless, today you might do some serious behind-the-scenes planning and quietly accomplish something that pleases you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Home and family are your focus. (Some are shopping for important goodies.) Quite likely, with the help of a friend or several people, you will accomplish something that pleases you. “On the count of three, everyone lift!”

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a productive day! Venus in your sign makes you diplomatic. Mars at the top of your chart, fires up your ambition. This means, you’re motivated and you can talk nice. Meanwhile, the sun and Mercury want you to get started! That’s all you need!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

“Show me the money!” You start this week off determined to accomplish something, especially in terms of earning money or making some money on the side. (Oh yeah, it’s nice to have bucks in jeans.) Be confident in your ability to be productive — and you will be. Make it so.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have lots of energy because the sun and your ruler Mercury are in your sign. You are eager; you are ready; and you want to talk. Expect success in your dealings with others today. Remember that “management” is simply getting things done through other people. “I’m on it!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Important people are impressed with you right now, which is interesting because you are choosing to be low-key. Many of you are working alone or hiding somewhere. (“We’re in isolation!”) Take a measured approach to whatever you do and don’t overreact if partners or close friends annoy you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are one of the most productive signs in the zodiac when you choose to be. In fact, when you are wound up and determined, you’re scary! This might be one of those days because you intend to accomplish as much as possible. It’s a beginning of the week and you want results!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Remember that you are high visibility right now. People notice you, but the good news is they admire you. (Especially bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police.) This is a very productive day for most signs, which means you can make headway in any area that you choose. What’s on your list?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The key for you to start this week off in a productive way is to keep a nice balance between steady effort and impulse. (Believe me, you will be tempted to suddenly go off the rails.) In particular, some of you will make great strides with home renovation projects and repairs.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Instead of skirting the situation, dive right into prickly details about shared property, inheritances and insurance. Just do it. You’re a strong communicator this week. Furthermore, you will be diplomatic and skillful dealing with coworkers. Natch!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have a strong focus on partners and close friends right now. In fact, today you feel playful, which means it might be hard to crank your engine and get to work. But once you do decide to be productive, you will do so! (Remember Yoda? “You will!”)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Comedian/actor Dave Chappelle (1973) shares your birthday. Your sharp, quick and clever. You’re ready to initiate. You will soon sense that you are winding up things you began nine years ago by letting go of what is no longer relevant and moving on to something new and different. Do not think of this as a time of loss. Au contraire. You are lightening your load to make room for new beginnings!
