Moon alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Leo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Keep your wits about you today (if you can) because conversations with partners and close friends will be confusing. Worse yet, you might not realize that a confusion — or even a deception — is taking place. Don’t make important decisions today, especially impulsive ones.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Double-check your work today, especially as it relates to financial matters, money and your possessions because it’s easy to make the wrong assumptions. You might be fooled by someone else. You might even fool yourself! Oh yes, it’s one of those days. Beware!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today your ruler is at odd with fuzzy Neptune while dancing with unpredictable Uranus. This means you might impulsively want to do something, or you might speak without thinking and later regret it. It also means that conversations with others aren’t clear — not clear at all! Forewarned is forearmed.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a poor day for important discussions about family matters. Likewise, it’s a poor day for real estate negotiations or decisions because there’s too much room for impulsive reactions and confusion. In fact, an element of deceit might be lurking as well. Not good. Check things out!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a challenging day for you because Mercury is in your House of Communications, but it is compromised. This means conversations with others will be subject to confusion, misinterpretation and deception. If you suspect something fishy is going on, it is! Trust your gut.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your ruler Mercury is in your Money House today. Be warned! Do not trust impulsive purchases or financial decisions. Double-check all your financial information because it is subject to misinterpretation, errors, mistakes and lies. This might not happen — but it could.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tread carefully today because Mercury is in your sign, compromised by an opposition with Neptune. What does this mean? It means mental confusion is likely. It’s a poor day for disciplined thinking. Communications with others are tough. You might be swindled or lied to. Be careful!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are high-viz today, which means people notice you more than usual. Be aware of this, especially if you’re going to make some pronouncements. The fact is this is a poor day to trust your opinions and the information you get from others. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You still make a great impression on others, which is why people will listen to you today. In fact, you might meet someone unusual. Or someone you already know might surprise you. Nevertheless, be careful because communications are slippery and confused today. Caution!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You value your good reputation, status and the respect that others show you. Therefore, be aware that today, it’s all too easy for you to say something to bosses, parents or the general public that might later be questioned. You might be incorrect. There could be some confusion. Double-check everything.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
If dealing with legal matters, educational studies or making travel plans, double-check your work because today is prone to confusion and misinformation. Guard against impulsive decisions that you might later regret. Your thinking might be erratic — or incorrect. (Yikes!)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a poor day for disciplined discussions of any kind, especially about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt or anything that can affect your assets and wealth. Do not jump to conclusions. Double-check everything. Confusion is rampant today. Wait for another day to commit to anything important.
If today is your birthday
Actor James Gandolfini (1961-2013) shares your birthday. You are private, introspective and sensitive. You are also artistic and have an appreciation of beauty. Take inventory of your life this year. It’s time to let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Start fresh next year!
