Moon alert
After 3:30 a.m. Chicago time, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, which is no big deal. This simply requires that you be present, accommodating and willing to go along to get along. Be aware that a partner, spouse or close friend might surprise you today.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a productive day for you because you’re energetic and up for new ideas and new ways of doing things. Be flexible today because your work routine or something related to your health or your pet might require a new approach. Are you up for it?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Stay light on your feet today because unexpected invitations might come your way. Social outings, sports events and fun activities with kids might offer exciting but unexpected detours. (Parents should be vigilant about their children to avoid accidents.) Work colleagues are supportive.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Relax at home today if you can. Having said that, something unusual might take place. Someone unexpected might drop by. Home repairs might arise. Family news might be exciting. To cover all bases, stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Unexpected short trips, visits, new faces and new places will make this an exciting day. Stay flexible so that you can go with the flow, which might change throughout the day. (Actually, your hands might be on the rudder, and you are steering these changes!)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. However, you might see a new and original way of making money. Conversations with daily contacts are pleasant.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The moon is in your sign today, dancing with unpredictable Uranus and fiery Mars, triggering an impulsive energy that is exciting. It’s hard to say what will happen today, but you’re up for anything. Say yes to invitations from friends and groups. Fly your colors!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a restless day for you, but you’re ready to defend yourself and speak up, especially with authority figures. Fortunately, with Mercury in your sign, you’re an effective communicator right now. And Venus in your sign makes you smooth and charming! (Shop for wardrobe items.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A friend might surprise you today, or you might be active with a group that suddenly takes a new turn or adopts a new agenda. Travel plans will appeal. Be ready for sudden changes that might affect banking, insurance issues, taxes, debt and inheritances.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
People notice you more than usual today, which is curious because your relationship with a boss, parent or someone in authority might have a surprise in store for you. Someone might throw you a curveball. (This surprise could be pleasant or not.) You’ll defend yourself about financial issues.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’re an idealist who wants to make the world a better place. Today in particular, you’re excited about a cause or something related to publishing, the law and medicine. You feel you can make strides if you play your cards right — and, of course, you can.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Keep an eye on your banking details, as well as other issues regarding taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters, because something unexpected might occur. Remember: You snooze, you lose. Meanwhile, travel and love with someone different might hold thrilling opportunities.
If today is your birthday
Model Bella Hadid (1996) shares your birthday. You’re an excellent problem solver. You pay attention. You’re perceptive, mindful and sensitive. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships, and make sure you spend time with people who have your back — people who are kind and helpful.
