Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are fast acting, direct and sometimes you have a short fuse. (You know who you are.) Be careful about overreacting, especially at work, if something suddenly unexpected occurs, especially computer problems or equipment breakdowns. Possibly people will surprise you? Stay chill.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Parents should be extra vigilant because this could be an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social events are unpredictable. They might be canceled, or in turn, you might receive a surprise invitation somewhere? Likewise, sports events are subject to surprises, as well.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Family discussions might be heated, especially because something unexpected interrupted your home routine. This could be anything. A small appliance might break down or a minor breakage could occur or someone unexpected might appear at your door. Whatever the case, be cool. Handle this with grace.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You must pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. While unexpected things might catch you off guard, be careful of responding or reacting with too much emotion. Do not blow your cool. Channel your strong mental energy into something productive.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep an eye on your possessions and your money because you might find something, or lose something, or possibly something that you own will be damaged or stolen. It’s a tricky day. You might also go overboard impulse shopping. (You are a Leo.) Keep your receipts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the moon is in your sign lined up with fiery Mars and dancing with unpredictable Uranus. This is a challenging combo! It boosts your energy, making you more aggressive than usual and at the same time, it makes you feel spontaneous and rebellious. Anything might happen. (Run for cover.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel restless today. This is a popular time for you, and you’re enjoying warm interactions with others, especially creative, talented people. Nevertheless, something unexpected going on behind the scenes might disturb you. Stay calm. Think of England.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your interaction with groups, clubs and organizations will probably be intense today. (You’re as surprised as they are.) You might be pushy and insist on getting your own way. Be careful because you are a powerful sign and it’s easy for you to coerce others. Be respectful. Go gently.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have strong feelings about something today and you intend to act upon. You will likely let people in authority know what your ideas are, or you might go so far as to declare your ideas as law. (Yes, you mean business.) Be careful because a coup might oppose you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Travel plans might be interrupted today. For example, you might have to travel suddenly or in turn, existing plans are changed or canceled. Meanwhile, your ideas (political or religious) might be challenged by young people (perhaps even children). Something will make you sit up and take notice.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Double check details with banking, debt, inheritances and financial agreements, including shared property, because something unexpected could affect these areas. Do not be caught napping. It might relate to home and family as well. Keep your eye on the ball.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Someone might throw you a curveball today, perhaps a partner or close friend? Whatever happens, maintain your cool and do not overreact. After all, your objective is you want to be happy; therefore, act in such a way as to promote your own future happiness.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Robert Redford (1936) shares your birthday today. You are deep, passionate, creative and tolerant. You see the positive in situations, and have a strong sense of responsibility. This is a year of service. Protect your health and well-being so that you can help others. Explore the arts, which you have put off for a long time.
