Moon alert
Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 10:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Cut yourself some slack today because it’s a bit lackluster due to a moon alert. Cope as best you can. Socialize in a low-key way. Focus on hobbies and creative self-expression. Baby steps.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a good day to kick back and relax because there’s a moon alert for most of the day. Don’t shop except for food and gas. Postpone important decisions. Explore your world, and learn new things because this will interest you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Be careful because the moon alert today is in your eighth house, which concerns shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. Don’t make important decisions regarding these issues. Stay chill.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today you might feel fuzzy and vague about issues. You’re not sure what to do first. This doesn’t mean it has to be a bad day, but it might not be a productive day. Go along to get along.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be pleased with whatever you manage to do today because it might be hard to stay focused during today’s moon alert. Make a list. Be grateful if you get three things done. Even two. Maybe even one. Don’t make a big deal about anything.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a creative day. It’s a good day to socialize in a low-key way with others. Enjoy sports, fun activities with kids and schmoozing in a lighthearted way. Don’t volunteer for anything. Restrict your spending to food and gas.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’ll be best off relaxing at home today, especially because you might be more involved with a parent or a female relative. Don’t make big decisions — it’s a moon alert all day. Pamper yourself. Don’t be too ambitious. Take it easy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
There’s a moon alert all day. Try to stay relaxed, and don’t be hard on yourself if you feel indecisive and unsure of what to do next. A short drive for pleasure might be pleasing. You will also enjoy casual conversations with others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbors. Stay chill.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be careful because there’s a moon alert in effect all day, and it’s taking place in your primary money house, which means you will be tempted to shop and explore financial angles and negotiations. Don’t do this. Do your homework, and wait until the moon alert is over to act.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
There might be confusing elements today because most of the day is a moon alert, and it’s happening in your sign. This is why you might feel unsure and indecisive about things. Not sure what to do next. A bit at sixes and sevens. Don’t worry because this is brief. Enjoy relaxation.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The best way to deal with today is to be low-key and enjoy privacy or working alone or behind the scenes. A discussion with a parent or a boss could be fruitful. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, agree to nothing important. Certainly, don’t volunteer.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a good day for quiet conversations with friends and members of groups. Don’t agree to anything important, and don’t volunteer for anything. Explore ideas. You might work if you have the energy, but it could be short-lived. Take it easy.
If today is your birthday
Actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme (1960) shares your birthday. You’re socially aware and self-reliant. You’re affectionate, inspiring and responsible. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships, and spend time with people who are kind, helpful and supportive. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness.
