Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A family member might surprise you today. Or perhaps, a small appliance will break down, or a minor breakage will occur because something unexpected will impact your home and private life. Stock the fridge so that you have food and drink on hand. This helps.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. Naturally, this includes verbal accidents as well as physical accidents. Oh yes, beware of foot-in-mouth disease. (Pulling your foot out of your mouth is the toughest yoga move.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage so that you have no regrets. Double check banking details.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you feel independent, even rebellious. There seems to be a lot of energy in the air, which makes you feel spontaneous and very highly tuned to whatever is going on around you. You might meet new friends today because interesting people will intrigue you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a restless day for you. It’s been a busy week with appointments, errands and short trips. You’ve been full of ideas, and many of you have had the pleasure of seeing new places and meeting new faces. Even though you want to take a rest today -nevertheless, it’s hard to sit still.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might encounter someone interesting today. Possibly, someone you already know might do something that surprises you? Your involvement with a group might create feelings of independence. Perhaps you want to rebel against the status quo? You want change for the better.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Fortunately, you are courteous and diplomatic by nature. This means you can use your natural skills when dealing with authority figures or the police, if they surprise you in some way or catch you off guard. (Busted!”) Be cool and courteous and get to the bottom of things.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel plans might be interrupted, cancelled or delayed today. Likewise, issues related to publishing, the media, the law and medicine might also be interrupted or cancelled. (“Whaaat?”) Stay cool and observe things from behind the scenes. You might learn something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Keep an eye on banking situations or anything to do with inheritances, shared property or insurance matters because something out of the blue might require your attention. (When it comes to money matters, you snooze – you lose.) Get your facts but avoid a fight or a standoff.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A close friend or partner might surprise you today by doing or saying something you least expect. Or perhaps, they are suddenly in a huff or rebellious about something? Meanwhile, keep in mind that you look attractive to everyone at this time. You make a great impression on others. Is this a problem?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Work interruptions are likely today. Some of you might have a sudden health concern. Pet owners should be vigilant and on top of things related to their pets because something unexpected could occur. Be aware of these possibilities, especially if travelling.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents take note: This is an accident-prone day for your kids, therefore, know where they are at all times. Meanwhile, social occasions might be cancelled or changed. Sports accidents are highly likely. A sudden invitation might come your way that surprises you. If so, say yes because this window of opportunity will be brief.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Tim Robbins (1958) shares your birthday today. You are perceptive, intelligent and observant. Your sharp mind is capable of complex analysis. You are a natural teacher who likes to inform. This year brings change and greater freedom into your world. Stay flexible and be ready to act fast. Enjoy travel and trust your intuition.

All Signs

We can use this week’s opportunities to accomplish what we want to do! There is lots of energy flying around helping us to communicate with others. This same energy will spur us to act, even competitively. Obviously, teamwork and negotiations are favoured. This wonderful blessing is because the Sun, Venus and Mars are supporting each other. (Admittedly mid-week, power struggles are likely because Pluto is in the picture. Pluto has never got over being demoted.) This is our chance to clean up whatever needs to be done. We will be like conquering Caesar! Veni vidi vacu. “I came, I saw, I vacuumed.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a wonderful week to work with others, especially partners and close friends. The major bonus is that you will find it easy to communicate with others. (Admittedly, on Wednesday there could be power struggles with authority figures.) Nevertheless, people will help you! And they will be happy to do so! This is a particularly strong week for writers, teachers, actors and people doing sales and marketing. Towards the end of the week, listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced, perhaps a friend or a member of a group, because this person will have valuable advice for you. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you? It’s a better view!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will be super active and productive this week! For starters, coworkers and helpers will be supportive. (That’s incredible, right there.) Furthermore, you feel motivated to boost your earnings and make money this week. (And you can!) Spend time making your work area look more attractive because this will pay off. It’s a good time to discuss agreements openly with others, including financial discussions. You may gain financial or other favours, quite unexpectedly, from a boss. Later in the week, get organized! You’ll have a sharp eye for detail. You will deal with serious matters in a persevering, dogged manner. “Tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” (African proverb.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Lucky you, because you have an edge over everyone. Oh yes, this is a week where everyone can accomplish a lot because the energy and motivation are at hand, and that’s half the battle. But in your case, fiery Mars is in your sign, which means you’re really pumped for action! Those of you work in the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, show business or anything to do with the arts, sports and working with children will particularly excel. That’s because all this high-energy is combined with a creative component. Therefore, accept invitations to party! Enjoy good times! It’s obvious that your theme for the week is, “Work hard, party hard!”

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will accomplish a lot in your personal life this week. That’s because everything to do with home, family and dealing with family members, especially a parent, will be a ripe ground for you to make improvements and get things done. It’s the ideal week to tackle home repairs and redecorating projects or renovations. Family discussions will go well (even though something mysterious looks like it’s going on behind the scenes). Late in the week, discussions about shared property and financial support from others will be solid; and you will very likely come out laughing all the way to the bank. Avoid power struggles midweek with a partner or close friend. (No animal was harmed in the writing of this column.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week is fast-paced. You’re excited about new ideas and keen to share them with others. It’s a fabulous week for those who teach, write, act, or work in sales and marketing, because your words are magic. People want to listen to you! Meanwhile, you’re keen to study, learn, talk and enlighten others. Short trips and travel will delight. One reason you feel happy and upbeat is that you are able to appreciate who you are, and what you have, especially your daily surroundings. (It’s so easy to take our surroundings for granted. But this week, you’re observant.) A competition with a friend or a group might be happening. If so, you’re ready. (“Tough? Are you crazy? I spent a year as a crossing guard.”)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Financial issues are uppermost in your mind this week. For starters, you will work hard to earn money and boost your earnings. No question. You have moneymaking ideas; and in part, you’re motivated because you are spending money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. (“I couldn’t resist.”) Fortunately, you can attract money to you this week. (Would I kid you?) You can also influence bosses, parents, and VIPs in a positive way. You will things happen because others will support you because they will respond to your words, which will work like magic. Avoid power struggles with your kids midweek. Ditto for romance. By the end of the week, make solid, practical plans for your job and your health.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

How sweet it is! The Sun, Mercury and your ruler Venus are all in your sign this week dancing beautifully with energetic Mars and stern Saturn. The gang’s all here! This is a burst of energy that works for you! Furthermore, this energy is supportive and fortunate for you. (You wanted more?) Don’t hesitate to speak up and share your ideas. It’s a strong week for public speaking, lecturing and convincing others to agree with you. Be patient so that you can avoid power struggles with family members midweek. Don’t take the bait! Take the high road. At the end of the week, make practical plans regarding your kids or a future vacation. Looking good!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a curious week. Everyone else is running around with an outboard motor strapped to their butt! However, you will be productive even though you are watching from the sidelines. For starters, your ability to research anything and come up with nuggets of information is stellar. If you work for the police, security systems, and medical research, your will be effective in grabbing information you need to know. “Gotcha!” Avoid ego battles on Wednesday because they will serve you no purpose. Remember that this is a year where you can improve your job or get a better job. You can also improve your health. This means keep your eye on the ball. (Good week to buy wardrobe treasures.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a popular week for you! Everyone wants to see your face. In particular, you will hang out with younger people more than usual as well as creative, artistic types. Expect involvement with groups and organizations. In fact, you might be a leader or elected to a leadership position. Friends, spouses and partners will support you. Nevertheless, around Wednesday, you might have to defend your position about something. (Don’t let this get you down and don’t make a big deal about it.) This is good week to make plans for the future, especially plans for travel and vacations! You might spend time this week with someone who is very special to you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re in a lovely position this week because for starters, it’s a powerful, active, productive week for everyone. However, you are the only sign that has the Sun Mercury and Venus at the top of your chart! This means you’re running the show, and you’re getting credit for it. Bosses and people in authority will listen to you now. In fact, you will make such a great impression on VIPs, some of you will strike up a romance with a boss or an authority figure. Basically, people are impressed with your performance at work, which is why at the end of the week, conversations that could impact your earnings will take place. Meanwhile, continue to look for ways to improve your digs – because you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This week has the flavour that you like. There’s a theme of freedom that is present everywhere. You will relish a desire to explore and do anything to expand your world. Of course, if you can, you will travel! But if you can’t travel, you will learn new things, study new things, and talk to fascinating people from other cultures. Some will strike up a romance with someone “different.” (Don’t leave home without a rose clenched in your teeth.) Your involvement with your kids will be energizing. Certain creative demands on your time will make you hustle. Later in the week, a serious discussion about life belief systems, history, religion – something profound – will take place. You love this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You can still hope to get richer this year. This week, you’re focused on shared finances, shared property and the wealth and resources of someone else. Obviously, people are supportive to you this year. They will give you gifts, practical things as well as money. Some of this wealth will come from a family member or someone at home. Just keep your pockets open and say, “Thank you” at the appropriate time. (Note: Whatever goes around, comes around, which means if gifts and goodies come your way now – you deserve them. Factoid.) At the end of the week, behind-the-scenes research, or a discussion with someone older might make you reassess your values about something. There’s always another point of view.
