Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 4:30 to 8 p.m Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t get your belly in a rash. The full moon is opposite your sign, which can create tension with partners and close friends. However, you are valid in wanting to feel free and demand the right to do your own thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel very independent because this particular full moon makes you want to call the shots at work, or with anything to do with your health or dealing with a pet. You’re not being pushy; you just want to be in charge of your own life. And why not?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you might be dealing with issues about romance, or recent challenges related to your kids, or possibly, something to do with a social outing or a vacation. Whatever the case, you will find that the problems that have been building up in these areas will diminish by nightfall. Cooperation will be easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the only full moon in your sign all year is taking place. This will tend to bring issues with those who are closest to you to a head. However, it will also give you the strength to resist controlling people and think for yourself. It’s time to call your own shots. What’s it going to be?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Health issues as well as matters related to a pet or your job are now coming to some kind of fruition. This means you will let go of what has been controlling you so that you have the freedom to pursue your own choices. This is so liberating!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel caught between the demands of home and family and the demands of your career or your job today because of the full moon energy. Whatever happens, you cannot ignore what’s happening with home and family. (But you will feel liberated.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

From today onward, you will feel more empowered in your daily communications with others. You’re ready to make your own plans and learn new things. It’s time to step up to the plate.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
