ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Play it by ear today, because the Moon is opposite your sign for most of this day; furthermore, it’s a Moon Alert. Don’t agree to anything important. Keep things light in conversation with others. Actually, this is a great day to socialize and goof off! Tonight: Check your finances.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Today shortages, delays and a lack of motivation might make you question what you’re doing. Frankly, this is the perfect day to skip work. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Hide and relax at home. Restrict spending to food and gas. Tonight: Cooperate.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
This is a fabulous day for creative or artistic activities. You’ll find it easy to be inventive, original, even zany. This is because you can think outside the box. Although your focus is on home and family, this is a fun day to schmooze! Tonight: Get organized.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
Discussions with family members might be vague today. Admittedly, increased chaos and activity on the homefront are distracting. Be aware that this is not the day to lay down ground rules or agree to anything important. Restrict spending to food and gas. Tonight: Socialize!
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
You’re ready to socialize, because both Venus and Mercury are in your sign. However, because most of this day is a Moon Alert, agree to nothing important. Explore ideas. Share creative visions. Do your homework so you can act tomorrow. Tonight: Cocoon at home.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Today there’s a Moon Alert in your sign, which is why you feel a bit adrift. Thoughts are foggy and conversations are vague. Even though it’s a poor time to shop or make important decisions, it’s a great time to socialize! Jot down your original, innovative ideas. Tonight: Check your belongings.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
With the Sun high in your chart, you make a great impression on everyone. Because of this, you might be tempted to make your pitch, accept an offer or agree to something important.

CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
You’re high-viz today, to the extent that some people know personal details about your private life. Furthermore, the Moon Alert today (effective for most of this day) is occurring at the top of your chart, which means you can’t control how others see you. Be prudent. Tonight: Be friendly!
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
Today you want to do something different and break free of routine. Fortunately, it’s an excellent day to talk to people about fascinating topics. Explore ideas! Because most of this day is a Moon Alert, agree to nothing important. Learn what you can. Travel and socialize. Tonight: You’re high-viz.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Postpone money decisions and dealings with banks and financial institutions, because this is a poor day to make decisions about inheritances, banking matters or shared property. Wait until the Moon Alert is over to act. Restrict spending to food and gas. Forewarned is forearmed. Tonight: Explore!
