Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 10:45 AM EST for the rest of the day (7:45 AM PST). The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely day to schmooze! Because you want to travel, perhaps you’re talking to travel companions or people in another country? Either way, enjoy social activities, sports events and playful times with kids.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a feel-good day! You can cocoon at home with your favourite food and pamper yourself. Or perhaps, you want a little company? If so, this is a fine day and evening to entertain at home. Discuss travel or educational plans with a friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re pumped today because Mars is still in your sign (as it will be for the rest of year). This is an excellent day to converse and interact with partners, close friends and members of the general public. You have something to say and fortunately, others are willing to listen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a tricky day. You will be tempted to pursue financial negotiations or spend money or shop. However, this is a poor day to do so! (See Moon Alert above.) Get your facts, or do window-shopping, but wait until tomorrow to act. (You’ll be glad you did.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with the Sun, which gives you a strong urge to socialize. Accept invitations to party. Enjoy lunch or Happy Hour with a friend. In particular, you will delight in playful activities with kids, sports events and anything to do with the entertainment world. Great date day!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home, family and your personal life are your primary focus today. However, you’re also a playful, social mood! This means that this is the ideal day to entertain at home, and socialize with family members. Fun times with kids will delight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a fast-paced, happy day! Because you’re in a positive frame of mind, you will enjoy talking to everyone in a lighthearted way. Avoid important decisions today. Agree to nothing important. Don’t volunteer for anything. Wait until tomorrow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful today. The reason you have to be cautious is your mind will be drawn to financial matters, shopping, wheeling and dealing and money negotiations. However, this is a poor day to do any of those things! Don’t shop except for food and gas. Don’t agree to anything important. Forewarned is forearmed.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Sun is in your sign dancing with the Moon, which is sitting in your “home” in your chart. This makes you feel easy-going and relaxed. Enjoy socializing with others. You might want to kick around some ideas for future travel plans. You also have moneymaking ideas. Nevertheless, wait until tomorrow to act. See Moon Alert. Be smart.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Part of you wants to be low-key and hide behind the scenes today. However, with Mercury and Venus in your sign, you’re eager to schmooze and talk to others. Actually, this is a lovely day to relax and enjoy yourself. Postpone shopping and important decisions until tomorrow. Restrict spending to food and gas.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a lovely day to socialize with others, especially close friends and partners. You might also choose to be involved in a group. Nevertheless, because there is a Moon Alert all day – don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t shop. (Except for food and gas.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

People notice you today in a favourable way. Therefore, be careful. Do not volunteer for anything or agree to new responsibilities. Wait until tomorrow to respond. Do yourself this favour. Protect yourself.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, comedian Dick Van Dyke (1925) shares your birthday today. You have a sharp, clever mind. You are perceptive and quick. You are also charismatic, charming and appealing to many. You are optimistic and confident. Simplicity is the key to life this year. Take charge of your health. Exercise is important. Stay grounded and levelheaded.
