Moon alert
Avoid shopping or major decisions after 8:30 p.m. Chicago time. The moon is in Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a tricky day because several influences might affect your relationships. New and exciting friends who are freedom-loving and stimulating might come into your world. However, part of you is very idealistic today — you’re seeking a soulmate. (“These are not the droids you’re looking for.”)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Stock the fridge because you might unexpectedly entertain at home today. Friends or a family member might surprise you. Whatever occurs, you’ll want things to be relaxing and pleasant for all concerned. (Get out the good glasses.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today new faces and new places might be a surprise. Conversations with others could be stimulating, even inspiring. Meanwhile, some of you are involved with a parent, while relations with kids are active and demanding. Use your excellent verbal skills to say the right thing at the right time.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Something unexpected might impact your finances today. It could be a brilliant idea that impresses others, especially bosses. It might be about a way to improve the welfare of someone. Or it could be an unexpected loss. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter is in your sign bringing you divine protection.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today fair Venus is in your sign dancing with unpredictable Uranus, urging you to break away from routine. You want the freedom to do what you want. Perhaps you’re attracted to someone different and exciting? You might also have an opportunity to benefit someone.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You are the sign of service, which means you like to be useful — and, in particular, you like to benefit others if possible. Today this is what you might encounter because an unexpected opportunity to help someone might present itself. The trick is to recognize this opportunity when it arises.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
By nature, you’re a people pleaser. Today you might have an unexpected opportunity to help someone. This person could be a friend or a member of a group, but more likely, they’re unusual or different from you. Let your inner values guide you. Mars in your sign will help you act.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You make a favorable impression on others today, especially authority figures. You might be surprised to be asked for your advice about design, layout work, office redecorating or how to make something look better. Or perhaps it’s a surprise flirtation that catches you off guard?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be on the lookout for unexpected opportunities to travel. Likewise, surprising events could impact legal, medical or educational matters. Meanwhile, romance might be exciting and the stuff of movies. Go slowly until you know what is unfolding. (Fortunately, you look attractive.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today you might benefit unexpectedly from a windfall or a favor from someone in terms of money, gifts or practical gestures. Perhaps this relates to the wealth and resources of your partner or a third party, including a financial institution. You will likely use what you receive to benefit home and family.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Partnerships and close friendships are exciting today because unexpected events are unfolding that are stimulating — even inspiring. This could lead to a new romance or enhance an existing relationship. Accept invitations to socialize and explore fun getaways!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Something unexpected at work will please you today. Whatever transpires might make you feel generous to someone. This is why you might try to help others if they’re in need. Alternatively, an unexpected job offer or a chance to improve your health might also please you.
