Moon alert
Avoid shopping or major decisions from 6 to 9:30 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Great news! Today a planetary shift will boost your energy for several months to come. It will help those in sports and competitive activities. Your energy will be high, and you’ll feel vigorous and ready to work. You want the freedom to be who you are!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The next few months will be a high-energy time for you, which is why you’ll assert yourself more than usual to accomplish what you want to do. However, this could lead to disputes with others (especially at home). Be aware of this. Go gently.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are the wordsmith of the zodiac, and today fiery Mars enters your House of Communications to stay for the next few months. This will make you identify with your opinions, which will lead to lively conversations and debates.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
As of today, you will work hard to boost your earnings or make money on the side. This might be because you’re planning on spending more. Certainly, your cash flow will be energized in the next few months for some reason. Ka-ching!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Fiery Mars has returned to your sign for the next few months, indicating a time of great activity in your life. This means you’ll work hard to further your own interests and assert yourself. You’ll be more of a fighter for your rights and the rights of others.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be careful. In the next few months, you might inadvertently sabotage yourself with little self-defeating acts. (You might consider working alone whenever possible.) Be patient if you don’t get full credit for your work because this is a temporary setback.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
As Mars changes signs today, it will bring you opportunities to achieve your goals by working with others, especially in groups. Physical activity with friends, especially with athletics and team competitions, will appeal. This is not the time to be a loner. Join forces with others.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your ambition will be aroused in the next few months because your fiery co-ruler Mars is now at the top of your chart. This makes you feel independent! You want to be your own boss. Unfortunately, this could create conflict with authority figures. Be aware of this and be cool.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are the traveler of the zodiac, and today Mars moves into the part of your chart that encourages you to travel, learn and do anything to expand your experience of the world. This influence will last for several months. With the moon in your Money House today, go after what you want!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Privacy and a chance to have some peace and quiet will be excellent choices for you today. Meanwhile, you might do some serious thinking, because in the next few months disputes about inheritances and shared property might arise. Do your homework to get your ducks in a row.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Friendships are important to you today. (Friendships are important to you every day — but today especially, you feel supportive, even nurturing, to someone.) Meanwhile, be patient with partners in the next few months because with Mars now opposite your sign, you’re easily annoyed.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You’re high-visibility this morning, which means people notice you more. (Some know details about your private life.) Meanwhile, good news! You’ll have abundant energy to work and be productive for the next few months — way more than usual. Take advantage of this.
