Moon alert
Avoid shopping or major decisions after 8:45 p.m. Chicago time. The moon is in Cancer.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Stay realistic and keep your feet on solid ground today in your closest relationships and partnerships because it’s easy to idealize someone and think they can do no wrong. Listen to your basic gut instincts. (You’re no fool.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today you’re full of optimism and a strong belief in yourself, which is a wonderful thing. Because you’re pumped with this energy, it’s a great day to take a short trip and enjoy the company of siblings, relatives and neighbors. Be realistic at work, as well as dealing with a pet.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You might be excited about money issues, cash flow or earnings today. Because of this enthusiasm, be careful shopping because you might be tempted to blow money. Think twice before spending your hard-earned cash. (Be smart, and keep the receipts — and the box.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a joyful day for you because the moon is in your sign dancing with lucky Jupiter, making you generous and warmhearted to everyone. Because of this, you might overextend yourself with offers to family members. Don’t promise more than you can deliver.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings today because this is something to be enjoyed. You’ll also feel warmhearted in your dealings with others. However, it’s easy to misread things today. Postpone important decisions so you can rethink them later.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A popular day! Group efforts, teamwork and productive activities with organizations, clubs or classes will be rewarding. However, financially, your judgment might be a bit off. Something might look better than it is. Tread carefully. Exercise caution about spending.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Be careful in your closest relationships today — you might have unrealistic ideals, which could lead to disappointment. Think twice before you make sacrifices or agree to something that makes you hesitate, because it’s possible you might be taken advantage of today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Travel and a chance to explore opportunities in medicine, law, higher education, media and publishing are excellent choices for you today! You’re verbally adroit, energetic and confident. Nevertheless, don’t bite off more than you can chew.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today you might have a financial advantage through someone else, which allows you to be generous to a friend or a group. (You like to be generous with your friends.) Don’t overdo things. Make sure you know what you’re doing. Remember: True generosity is giving what is needed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a great day to schmooze with friends, partners and members of the general public because people will admire you, and in turn, you will light up in conversations with groups as well as individuals. Be cautious about putting an authority figure on a pedestal. Stay in the real world.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Look for ways to improve your job today because they do exist. In fact, this year, more than any year in over a decade, you can improve your existing job or get a better one. Work-related travel is also likely. Meanwhile, be careful about falling for dogma or propaganda that sounds appealing and uplifting.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Grab your dancing shoes and get ready to! This is also a great day for a vacation. Make every effort to enjoy the arts, fun flirtations, social outings, sports events and fun activities with kids. However, double-check dealings regarding banking, loans and mortgages. Nothing is free.
