Moon alert
Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or major decisions from 3 to 4:45 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today, you feel a strong urge to get away from your daily routine. If possible, take a short trip or go somewhere different. Give yourself a chance to experience new scenery, new interactions and meet new faces. Discover new places and new ideas. Sign up for a course.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your emotional experiences will be more intense today as you deal with different situations. Similarly, you might attract someone who is intense and powerful. You might have strong feelings about shared property or being surrounded by familiar things that hold memories from the past.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Conflict with others will be more emotional today because the moon is opposite your sign. Guard against knee-jerk reactions. Nevertheless, loved ones and partners will feel more important to you than usual. You might even seek security and support from them.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today, you might be involved in the care of someone else. Or you might have to put the interests of someone else before your own. (You’re not being a martyr; this is simply what’s happening.) You can do this because you are the most nurturing sign in the zodiac.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A playful day! For some reason, it will be difficult to conceal your feelings from others. Don’t even try. Romance will feel stronger, and relations with a lover will be more intense. You might also feel protective and nurturing, especially toward children.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Home, family and your private life are your priority today. You might even feel possessive about something or someone. A conversation with a female family member could be important. Meanwhile, this is a great day to enjoy privacy in familiar surroundings.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are affected by your immediate surroundings. You are also a keen communicator. Today in particular, you want to discuss something that is real — something that has importance and meaning for you. You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
In a curious way, you identify with your possessions more than usual today, which is why you might have a strong attachment to something. Or perhaps your attachment is to your values and ideas. If this is the case, you might have to defend yourself when you really have nothing at stake.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today the moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it will also slightly improve your good luck. This happens for 2½ days every month, and when it does, you have the edge. Why not test this by asking the universe for a favor?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Peace and privacy are your top priorities today. You won’t feel much like socializing — not because you’re being antisocial, but because you need to “get away from all this.” New mystical or spiritual disciplines might intrigue you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Friendships are important today. You might feel more protective and supportive than usual toward someone because you value the relationship. This is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone to get their feedback. Why not try it?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today, aspects of your personal life are on display, which means people know private details about you. (Time for some damage control?) This is a good day to think of professional and business concerns as well as the impression you create on others.
If today is your birthday

Simplicity is the key to life for you this year. Work on creating foundations in your world — both external and internal. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
