Moon Alert
After 9 a.m., there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Capricorn.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You are direct, proactive and quick to act. Today you shouldn’t second-guess anything, especially instructions or orders from authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and even the police. You might misread their intentions. Postpone important decisions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Steer clear of controversial issues related to politics, religion and racial topics because confusion and misunderstanding are rampant today. It’s easy to kid yourself. It’s also easy for others to kid you. Many will misinterpret others today. Stay calm.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Postpone important financial decisions for another day. When it comes to anything related to shared property, banking details, inheritances, taxes and debt — your thinking is too fuzzy. You might not have the facts, or your facts might be incorrect. Just tread water.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a tricky day to talk to partners, spouses and close friends. For starters, you might be disappointed. You might also be confused. Be aware that there is an element today that leads to distortions of people’s views as well as subconscious feelings of distrust. Do nothing.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Avoid controversial discussions about politics, religion, and racial issues, especially if they’re related to your job or your health. Whatever happens, know that everything is murky and misunderstandings are rife. This is a poor day to make decisions or to embark on any new course of action.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
It’s easy to deceive yourself today or suffer from confusion related to romance. You might fall into a dreamy state of mind that focuses on hopes that are unsubstantiated in reality. Your views might be distorted. Don’t act on your feelings today.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Be patient and careful when talking to parents and family members today because you might not have all the facts or might not fully appreciate what’s happening. Subconscious influences could distort your views, or habits picked up in childhood might confuse you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Bide your time and don’t jump to conclusions when talking to siblings, relatives and neighbors today because things might not be as they appear. Something going on in your daily environment might be misunderstood. Sit back and try to take things in. Be cool.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Because fuzzy thinking is easy today, this is a poor day for making expensive purchases or important financial decisions. Basically, it’s easy to be out of touch with reality or to think something is better than it is. Save your money.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today the moon is in your sign at odds with fuzzy Neptune, which can promote a dreamy state of mind where illusions become more important than reality. (Not good!) In particular, areas where you might feel confused could relate to close relationships or home and family. Be smart and postpone important decisions. Just ride this one out.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Be careful because, in one way, today is a bit tricky. It’s easy to have subconscious influences that you’re unaware of, which will distort your views about something. This means you might not be able to trust your decision-making process. Tread carefully!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might feel disappointed by a friend today or perhaps a group. The question you have to ask yourself is how realistic were your expectations? Were they pie-in-the-sky hopes you had in your mind? We are all frail mortals grappling on this “darkling plain.”
