Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a pleasant and exciting day because down deep, you are open to change. In fact, you want change. You are an adventurer at heart, and today you feel the need for something new and fresh to happen!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It will please you to meet someone new and different. This person might be a character or avant-garde in some way. Perhaps someone will introduce you to a sexy, rugged individual? Or possibly, someone you already know will surprise you by doing something unusual? One can only hope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Something unexpected might happen to you. And what is further unexpected is whatever happens is rather obvious. Others can see it! (Let’s hope it’s positive news.) Whatever it is it will somehow expand your reputation with your peers and widen your contacts with the world.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A sudden opportunity to travel might fall in your lap. You might also have a chance to learn something new and exciting or take a course. Whatever happens, you will look for ways to expand your world because you’re eager something different to happen!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A surprise gift or an unexpected opportunity might come your way. This could relate to banking, debt, shared property or inheritances, but whatever the case, you might come out smelling like a rose and laughing all the way to the bank.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A close friend or associate will say or do something you least expect today. Nevertheless, it will be interesting. It might keep you off your heels. (It’s fun to be stimulated by someone you know well because it means they still have a few tricks up their sleeve.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something unusual or unexpected could affect your work scene today. A new coworker? New equipment? Or — horrors — equipment breakdowns? Quite possibly, this surprise could be health related. It might also be something unexpected that somehow relates to a pet. (Keep your eyes open!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A surprise invitation might come your way today. Yay! Admittedly, a social event might be canceled. Perhaps what catches you off guard is a saucy flirtation? (Be still my beating heart.) Parents must be vigilant today to avoid accidents with their kids.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Something unexpected might change your home routine today. A surprise visitor at the door? (Hopefully, not the breakdown of an appliance or something else getting broken. Aagghh!) A female family member might have something to say today. If so, you will know it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an interesting day because new faces, new places and new ideas will pepper your daily routine in a stimulating way. You might learn something new. You might teach someone else something new. You might visit someplace new and exciting!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you have clever, original money-making ideas. Or perhaps you will spontaneously buy something that is modern or very ancient? There’s a chance you will lose money or lose a possession — or you might find money or find something because you will be surprised with finances or possessions today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the noon is in your sign dancing with Uranus, which gives you a desire for excitement. You might want to shake things up for some people around you if you think they’re stuck in a rut. You might meet a new, exciting friend or you might encounter new ways of thinking? Technical subjects will appeal as well.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Astronaut Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) shares your birthday. You are versatile! Once you are motivated, you can learn something. You are hard-working and authoritative. It’s your time of harvest, which means you are starting to reap the benefits of the efforts you made in the last decade. You deserve this time of success! As a result, you might enjoy increased influence and leadership in all your relationships.
