Moon Alert
Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 12:15 p.m. to 5 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Some practical ideas worth your consideration might occur to you this morning about mortgages, loans, taxes, debt and inheritances. You might see a better way of doing something. Wait until the moon alert is over before you act. (See above.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Someone older or more experienced might have practical advice for you today. Why not listen? It might be wise to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you. However, do nothing until after the moon alert is over. (See above.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Early today, you can get a lot done at work. Dig in and be productive. Nevertheless, postpone important decisions until after the moon alert. Late in the day, a partner or friend might surprise you, or you might hear surprising news.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a good day to practice a skill or hone a particular technique in the arts or in sports because you can get better at something through practice. Possibly, a coach or someone more experienced will advise you. Later today, expect interruptions to your work routine and possibly your health as well.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today. Know where they are at all times, especially later in the day. Meanwhile, an older family member might help with something that needs to be done at home, or they might just dispense advice. (Check moon alert.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
In one way, today is a good day to make practical plans for the future. However, because of the moon alert (see above), do not act on them. Wait until tomorrow. Later today, your home routine will be interrupted. Avoid family arguments if you can.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a curious day because you might make some sensible financial plans for the future, especially if someone gives you good advice. Nevertheless, a moon alert could change things. Your ideas might not fly. Therefore, wait until tomorrow. Meanwhile, pay attention to avoid accidents.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a tricky day because, despite some careful planning, there’s a moon alert in the middle of the day, which could change everything. Therefore, do your homework, but wait until tomorrow to act. Meanwhile, protect your money and possessions from loss, theft or damage.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Research might pay off today. (It never hurts.) Guard against emotional impulses, especially because they could disrupt relationships. Be careful of triggering an argument. Don’t do this. Instead, talk to a younger friend.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A discussion with an older friend or a member of a group might be helpful today. However, impulsive undercurrents are at play, which might trigger a spontaneous decision or action that you later regret. Rein things in. Be cautious and sensible.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today you have a more realistic view of life, which allows you to endure a bit of adversity and strain. You’re patient. Someone older might have advice for you, someone you respect. Meanwhile, a friend might catch you off guard. Tread carefully. Don’t act.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you might be pleased with some practical plans about the media, or legal or medical matters, or something to do with higher education. Nevertheless, don’t act on these ideas because of today’s moon alert. Be polite with parents, bosses and the police to avoid an unexpected encounter. (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)
