Moon alert
After 12:15 a.m. Chicago time, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Capricorn.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a tricky day. Don’t be too ambitious today. It’s totally OK to kick back and relax. But do be aware that communications with parents and authority figures might be confused, vague or subject to misunderstandings. Nevertheless, romance is sweet and cozy!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Avoid controversial subjects and important discussions about politics, religious issues and travel because this will get you nowhere. Too much confusion! However, you might be interested in a new relationship with someone “different.” In fact, new love can blossom.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a poor day for financial discussions or how to share something with a friend or a group because wishful thinking will outweigh logic and rational analysis. Too tricky! However, a work-related romance might be dreamy and promising.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Be careful in discussions with parents and bosses, as well as spouses, partners and close friends, because distorted views and misunderstandings are common today. Be aware of overdoing alcohol or drugs. It’s a tricky day. However, romance and relations with kids are reassuring.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Work-related relationships will be supportive — perhaps even romantic — today. However, discussions about foreign countries or issues related to travel, politics and religion will likely be confusing and possibly distorted. You won’t know what to believe. Tread carefully. Some people are just off base today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a lovely day for romance, playful outings, socializing, sports events and fun activities with kids. However, be careful about dealing with shared expenses, shared property and the wealth and resources of others. Something is off or incorrect. Assume nothing.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today you’re in a dreamy state of mind, which can promote fantasies more than reality. This is why it’s a poor day for important decisions about family issues or partnerships. Nevertheless, something to do with your finances or purchases will please you. Keep your receipts — and the box.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is essentially a relaxed, dreamy day. Don’t set an ambitious agenda. However, be careful not to overdo booze, drugs or anything that might confuse you, as this is possible today. (Even food poisoning.) Fortunately, relations with siblings, relatives and neighbors are cozy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
In many ways, this is a laid-back, feel-good day! However, there might be confusion or incorrect assumptions in romantic relationships, as well as dealing with social situations or kids’ activities. Double-check all your details. Make sure you’re on the same page.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today the moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight advantage over others. In fact, relations with friends and groups will be warm and supportive. However, be careful with family discussions because this is where confusion might trip you up. Do your best to be clear with everyone.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Take it easy today. Relations with bosses, parents and authority figures are warm and supportive. People are happy to see you. Nevertheless, if you feel a sense of confusion or that something fishy is going on, it probably is. That’s because this is a dreamy, fuzzy day for many people.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Be careful about financial agreements between friends and groups today. Double-check details for errors or wrong assumptions, because people can be sloppy in their thinking about money today. However, enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. Grab every opportunity to travel or learn something new because this will delight you.
If today is your birthday
Actor Jeremy Irons (1948) shares your birthday. You are sensual and admire beauty. You’re also lively, enthusiastic and interested in new experiences. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships, and try to spend time with people who are kind, helpful and supportive.
