Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions after 6 PM EDT today (3 PM to 9:15 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Keep an eye on your money today. Likewise, keep an eye on your possessions to avoid theft, damage or loss with your things. Matters related to your personal wealth and assets are volatile today. (Anything could happen.) Guard against impulse shopping, particularly during the Moon Alert. Keep your receipts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel rebellious! This is why you’re restless, impatient and determined to take matters into your own hands. You don’t want to wait for permission, or for anyone else to catch up to you. You’ve decided it’s time to act, and you’re going to do it. (Be smart: Think twice.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you feel vaguely restless; but you’re keen to talk to others and enlighten people about your ideas. You might also want to study and learn something new. However, some kind of unexpected event taking place behind the scenes will affect you, and possibly throw your plans off kilter.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Something unexpected or sudden will take place in your relations with friends, classes and groups today. Someone might say or do something unusual, which in turn, sends everything in a new direction. You might suddenly encounter someone who is different. Possibly, a friendship will blow up.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Tread carefully when dealing with parents, bosses and the police today because you feel rebellious, even reckless. This means you want to take matters into your own hands and do exactly what you want to do. You want to run the show. Quite likely, someone will object. Easy does it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel plans will change today. They might be cancelled or delayed; or in turn, you might suddenly have to travel when you did not expect to do so. You might also meet someone from another culture or a different country who has surprising news.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Something unexpected could impact banking details or something to do with inheritances or shared property, which means you have to be on top of things. Check bank accounts. Check agreements you have with others about debt or shared property. Be in the know.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be patient with partners, spouses and close friends today because anything could happen. They might be angry about something or something might trigger a sudden argument? Someone might demand more freedom or a different arrangement? It’s a crapshoot!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your routine will be interrupted today, almost certainly. Staff shortages, power outages, late deliveries, mixed-up messages and equipment breakdowns are just some reasons your plans could go south in a New York minute. Therefore, give yourself extra time so that you can cope with the unexpected.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents: Please know that this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Therefore, be vigilant. Meanwhile, social plans will change today. You might receive an unexpected invitation? Or conversely, plans to go out to an entertaining event will be delayed or cancelled. Bummer.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. At least, have some food and drink in the fridge so you can cope with the unexpected. (Food and drink are always comforting.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Of course, nothing has to happen; however, if you are distracted because you are aggravated or caught off guard – then you are at a disadvantage. Therefore, stay mindful and be aware.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Adrian Dunbar (1958) shares your birthday today. You are a natural leader who is warm and friendly. In fact, frequently, others will look to you for help and guidance. You enjoy your creature comforts. This year is about service to others, especially family. This means it’s important to take care of yourself. Time for a makeover?

All Signs

This week we have a strong hit of Uranus happening. Uranus was discovered around the time of the French Revolution. (“Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!”) Uranus represents the defiant energy to break free from oppression. It challenges the rigid structures you work hard to maintain. It is associated with the unexpected, something out of step in your everyday world. It forces you to break free of mind-numbing habits and blows fresh air into your life. It rejuvenates and makes you feel younger and more alive! It’s a reminder that you will never again be as young as you are as you read these words. Therefore, Carpe Diem! (That’s Latin for “Fish Sale!”)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your ruler fiery Mars is lined up with unpredictable Uranus in one of your Money Houses. You definitely have to pay attention because at the beginning of the week, something unexpected could impact your wealth, your earnings, your assets and your possessions. To put it mildly, you might find money; you might lose money. Be aware and conscientious so that you can protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. On the upside, someone might suddenly give you something. Or perhaps, you will display sudden generosity to someone else? Sudden purchases for your home, especially something beautiful, will please you. You might spontaneously entertain at home, especially on Tuesday. Protect your financial situation again on Friday.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Caution! As this week begins, fiery Mars is in your sign lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, triggering sudden upsets, rash behaviour and unexpected incidents. It will be difficult to make plans because many things will happen without warning, and suddenly — your plans have gone south in a New York minute. You’ll have a tendency to be impulsive and act rashly. This same energy can make you careless because you’re moving too fast, not thinking ahead of time. Perhaps you’re angry at someone? You definitely want to assert your individual freedom. And why not? It’s time to do your best imitation of Janis Joplin, “… freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a tricky week. Your fast-paced continues with errands, short trips, plus increased reading, writing and studying. You might be busy at home with repairs and family discussions. Nevertheless, something surprising and unexpected going on behind the scenes will catch you off guard, especially at the beginning of the week. It could impact your earnings. For example, you might spontaneously buy something unusual, modern or high tech. You might also receive a gift of money that you did not expect. (Fingers crossed.) Do your best to stay mellow this week, even though life will feel unsettled. Be patient with coworkers on Friday when upsetting issues might catch you off guard. (An Eastern proverb says, “Even a hurricane only lasts a day.”)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your focus on money, possessions and your personal values continues this week. However, a friend will surprise you – no question. Especially during the beginning of the week. Possibly, for some, this surprise is an encounter with someone who is different or unusual in some way. This surprising encounter might also be connected with a club or an organization. You might join a protest group. (Or you might be asked to leave!) This unexpected interaction might ultimately impact your relations with kids or with a romantic partner. It’s complicated; but at least, it’s not a boring week. Remember not to act hastily so you can avoid later regrets. Be mindful.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This continues to be a powerful time for you with the Sun in your sign. You can rejuvenate and restore your strength. You can also attract people and favourable situations to you. However, this week, begins with something abrupt, sudden and unexpected, very likely dealing with a parent or a boss. This person might do something that surprises you; or in turn, you might feel that you have to defy them or break free of their restrictions or ill-advised rules. (They will seem ill advised from your point of view.) Basically, you are not a follower, you are a leader. Therefore, you do not like to be told what to do. Be patient with family members on Friday. Be gracious and do what you can to keep the peace. Be an example.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tread carefully if travelling this week because many of you will face delays, cancellations and interruptions. This same unexpected influence might impact legal matters or something to do with a medical situation. Some will be surprised through the media. If travelling, double check details before you leave home. Be mindful and pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid accidents. You might also meet a real character this week, especially around Tuesday. Or perhaps, someone you know will do something that surprises you. Be patient with siblings, relatives and neighbours on Friday. In fact, stay chill to avoid an accident then, as well. (Yikes!)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This continues to be a lovely week to schmooze with others, especially because you feel particularly sociable. Enjoy good times with friends, as well as interacting with clubs and organizations. In particular, you’ll make a fabulous impression on bosses and VIPs, which is why some of you might strike up a sudden romance with someone in a position of authority, especially around Tuesday. Meanwhile, check banking details and anything to do with inheritances, shared property and insurance matters because this week begins with a surprise or something unexpected that could impact shared property, debt or your finances in some way. Stay top of these red-tape areas so that you are not caught off guard, because when it comes to money – you snooze, you lose.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week will definitely hold a few surprises for you. You continue to be high viz. with the Sun at high noon in your chart. Furthermore, you continue to make a fantastic impression on everyone, without doing anything special. Go figure. However, a partner or close friend is sure to surprise you at the beginning of the week. This could be an explosive argument, unexpected news, or the introduction to someone who is unusual or surprising in some way. Get ready. Meanwhile, surprise opportunities to travel might come your way early in the week. You might also meet someone unusual or hear pleasing unexpected news about something to do with higher education, the media, publishing, medicine or the law. Be patient on Friday, when you will feel tested.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You love to travel. But this month, you’re especially eager to spread your wings. Grab every opportunity to do this! Meanwhile, discussions with bosses and people in power will be favourable. In fact, people will listen to you, so don’t hesitate to speak up. Unexpected goodies, gifts and favours from others might come your way, especially around Tuesday. However, at the beginning of the week, something related to pets, your health or your job might surprise you or catch you off guard. Prepare yourself and get ready for this. You might have to streamline a situation. Or you do something so that you have more time to have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. Ditto again on Friday.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This continues to be an intense time, with strong psychological compulsions surfacing. (Why do I keep opening and closing the fridge?) You might be concerned about finances that are jointly held or trying to get a loan or a mortgage. Parents must be aware that the beginning of this week is an accident-prone time for your kids. Therefore, be vigilant. Know where they are at all times. Likewise, sports accidents can occur. Social plans are subject to cancellation and sudden changes. Romantic relationships could be on rocky ground. Unexpected things might occur and later boomerang back on Friday. Fortunately, Tuesday brings good news related to partners and friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Focus on home and family this week because something unexpected will occur. Take precautions to avoid fires and home accidents. Likewise, be patient with family members to avoid arguments. A moment of distraction could lead to a home accident. Could be major or minor. If negotiating a real-estate transaction, double check every angle. Ironically, the next day Tuesday, something favourable might surprise you at work. Or it could relate to your health or even a pet. Keep your cool when dealing with parents and authority figures on Friday. George Burns was right, “Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family – in another city.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s a good thing that you’re on top of your game this week — working hard and being as efficient as possible — because at the beginning of the week, there’s an accident-prone influence for your sign. Therefore, stay tuned. Be mindful and aware. Pay attention to everything you say and do because it will be easy for you to go off half-cocked, and say or do something without thinking. And you might regret this later. And beware: this same unchecked energy will manifest again on Friday. This week is not just about some serious warnings. Tuesday might bring a fun invitation to an entertaining event, possibly the theatre, a musical group, a sports event or playful activities with kids. An exciting invitation might surprise!

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Glory hallelujah! This is a fun filled day! Enjoy sports events, playful activities with kids, the theatre, picnics, barbecues and entertaining diversions. Ironically, it’s a strong day to work and get things done as well. Oh yes, you win!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Invite friends and family over for good food and drink because this is a marvellous day to entertain at home. (Who sets a better table than you?) This is also an excellent day to pursue real-estate opportunities and ways to improve where you live.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you’re in a positive frame of mind, which is why you’ll enjoy talking to siblings, relatives and neighbours. It’s a great day for a short trip and any new venture. It’s also a solid day to sign contracts or agree to anything important. You will also enjoy doing something to improve your home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Business and commerce are favoured today. Look for ways to boost your income either now or in the future. (You’re thinking big!) You have the gift of the gab today, which is why it’s a strong day for those who sell, market, teach, act or write. Yada, yada, yada.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Lucky you! The Sun is in your sign dancing with Jupiter, which gives you good feelings of peace and harmony with everyone around you. Today you feel buoyant and enthusiastic about whatever you’re doing. You will be quick to see the big picture, and many of you will enjoy good fortune.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have the advantage today because the Moon is in your sign getting a boost from Mars. This makes you assertive, courageous and confident! Whatever you do – you will quickly see what is needed and you will know how to unify your objectives with others. Great day to start projects!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular day for you! You will enjoy schmoozing with others because you are one of the most social signs in the zodiac. In particular, group activities like classes, conventions and conferences will be a positive and learning experience for you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You make a fabulous impression on everyone today, in part because you are quick to see the overall pattern of things. You will instantly know whnt to do in a given situation. People respect you because you look successful and competent (even if you don’t feel this way). Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do whatever you can to change your daily routine today because you want adventure and stimulation. You want to expand your horizons! Enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds or cultures. Travel if possible. Do something so that you can learn new ideas, concepts and philosophies.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Although this is a marvellous day to discuss shared property, inheritances and the wealth and responsibilities you share with others – nevertheless, you want to get outta Dodge. You need a change of scenery! (Note that your discussions with others will be settled in your favour.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with close friends, partners and spouses are super positive today! People are happy and harmonious with each other. You will also work well with a partner today, especially if what you do involves travel or dealing with foreign interests.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Work-related travel is likely for many of you. For those of you who are working today, this is an upbeat, positive day! You’ll be hands on and interested in whatever you’re doing. People will help you. Partnerships will be invigorated by shared ideas.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, producer Dean Cain (1966) shares your birthday today. You are a charismatic straight shooter. You’re a natural leader who is direct and hard-working, which is why people are willing to follow you; plus, you do your homework before you jump in to anything. This is the year that will bring you rewards and recognition. Expect a promotion, accolades and the acknowledgement you deserve. Bravo!

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions until 2:30 PM EDT today (11:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Discussions with romantic partners are challenging today because one of you might be critical of the other. Perhaps you have to say goodbye to someone? Parents should be considerate about the feelings of their kids. Goethe said, “Correction does much but encouragement does more.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Family discussions might be discouraging today. A parent might be critical. Meanwhile, very likely, home repairs and practical tasks need to be done where you live. Go ahead with your plans for these tasks and don’t let someone rain on your parade. Decide what to do, then do it. You’ve got this.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It’s easy to slip into negative thinking today. We all do this. Everyone sometimes feels lonely, cut off or like they’re navel lint. But these negative feelings will pass! Everything is temporary – good times as well as bad times. (Hang in there.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Financial matters might look discouraging today. It’s the end of the month, and you’re broke. (Join the club – we number millions.) Some of you might feel criticized about your purchases or the way you handle your money. You feel pragmatic and thrifty today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you might fall into worry mode. Too often, worry is a habit. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Instead, you can channel this same astrological energy into working hard, especially doing detailed, mental work.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Although you might feel vaguely uneasy about something, especially if someone behind the scenes is critical of you (the worst!); nevertheless, today the Moon is in your sign (after 2:30 PM EDT; 5:30 PM PDT), and this gives you an advantage! Ask the universe for a favour!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with a friend or a member of a group might be disappointing or discouraging today. Someone more experienced might make you feel diminished in some way. Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” True!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Discussions with parents, bosses, authority figures and the police might be challenging today. Quite possibly, someone will try to pull rank on you or act like they hold all the cards and you are nothing. Don’t let this get to you. (Insecure people act like that.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have a choice today. You can either worry about something in the news or the media, or political or racial issues; or instead, you can use this same serious astrological influence and study or learn something new because your mind is very focused. What will you choose? What makes sense?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is not an ideal day for discussions about shared property, insurance disputes and inheritances because people will be petty, picky and negative. They certainly won’t be generous. However, your mind is focused and detail oriented so you won’t miss a thing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Take a lighthearted approach when talking to partners and close friends today because people are inclined to think negatively, and drape everything in black crepe paper. Yes, it’s that kinda day. But it doesn’t have to be. Focus on something that you want to do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today is a good day to do heavy mental work that requires a lot of self-discipline because you have this in spades! Seek out someone you respect for their advice. Take frequent breaks from your work to relax in between so that you can continue and persevere at whatever you’re doing. Pace yourself.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, politician Arnold Schwarzenegger (1947) shares your birthday today. You are confident and not afraid to think big. You are determined and creative, and at the same time, you are practical. This is a year of learning and teaching for you. Therefore, give yourself opportunities for time alone so that you can study and learn something valuable for you.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today until 9:15 PM PDT. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Here’s another day where parents must be vigilant with their kids to avoid accidents. Meanwhile, social plans might change at the last minute. (This includes sports events.) This is also an unpredictable and rocky time for romance. Steady as she goes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Once again, unpredictable events are taking place at home. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Surprise company might appear at the door. Family arguments might upset your routine. Could be anything. Batten down the hatches!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you, both physically and verbally. Therefore, think before you speak, or act, or do anything. On the upside, you might have spontaneous, genius-like ideas! Expect to meet new faces and see new places.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions because this week has been challenging! Sudden changes to earnings or something unexpected impacting something that you own, are just some examples of what might happen. Keep your eyes open.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week is full of surprises – no question! The bottom line is you have to stay on your toes. Get your rest so that you can deal with the unexpected. In fact, give yourself wiggle room so that you can maneuver and be ready to go with changing plans. Be patient with others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be privately upset with the views of someone else or something that’s going on in the news or in social media. Whatever concerns you might also be related to the law or a medical situation. Either way, work with what you can change; accept what you cannot change. It’s that simple.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Use your Libran diplomacy today if you find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group, which is highly likely. This week has been a testing time for dealing with others! However, you are not alone. Others have had to face this as well. Demonstrate grace under pressure.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Once again, you might find yourself at odds with parents, bosses, teachers, the police or partners and close friends. (It’s as if you can’t win!) Generally, if you fuel the flames of these disputes, it only makes things worse. Don’t say anything you will later regret. Stay frosty.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a touchy day. Work-related disputes might occur, especially about travel plans or matters with foreign countries. Issues in the news or in social media might also create unrest. Fortunately, romance is sweet and affectionate. Financial arrangements look solid, as well. (Be thankful for this.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today is an unpredictable day for social events, children’s activities, romance, financial speculation, sports and anything to do with shared property or insurance matters. Therefore, tread carefully! Think before you act and keep your eyes open. Bottom line: You don’t want to have any regrets.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s so much going on at home with family members as well as partners and close friends, it’s hard to keep up. Your only choice is to keep your head down and your powder dry. Don’t be discouraged. Remember — the Ark was built by an amateur – the Titanic by professionals.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Unexpected issues might impact your health, a pet, or your job today. This has been the tenor of this week! Your only recourse is to go with the flow and make the best of what’s happening. You can do this.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, musician Geddy Lee (1955) shares your birthday today. You are a gentle Leo who is practical and creative. You are also protective and nurturing of others. When you lead others, you do so in a subtle, gentle manner. Service to others is important this year, which means you must take care of yourself. Enroll in a class. Do a makeover. It’s important to stay grounded and balanced.

Something might be cancelled or you might receive an unexpected invitation to go somewhere? Sports events will have a surprising outcome. Good day for beginnings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today’s New Moon is a good time to start a home project or begin something to do with real estate. However, family discussions will be erratic, possibly nerve-racking. Meanwhile, surprise company might drop by. (Stock the fridge so you’re ready for anything.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. Nevertheless, you are full of clever, genius-like ideas today! In fact, this is an excellent day to initiate a new project or begin something new and fresh. (Just be careful.) Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Watch your money and your belongings today because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own from loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, a new financial venture might begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means it’s the perfect day for you to begin something new or start a new adventure. Nevertheless, you might find yourself at odds with a parent, boss or someone in authority. (Duck and cover.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel restless today. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, ugly and in the wrong size.) Possibly, you are disturbed by social media, or something in the news, or someone’s political ideas or religious philosophy. Welcome to the club, we number millions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might meet a real character today, which could be interesting. Or perhaps someone you already know will do something that surprises you? Something about your relationship to a group or an organization might also catch you off guard. Meanwhile, this is a good day to set new goals.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

“Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.” This is a not-so-subtle warning for you today to steer clear of authority figures – parents, bosses and the police – who might be on the rampage. Don’t go looking for trouble today. It will find you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Conversations with partners and close friends will be stimulating and fascinating today. Ideas are flashing through your head at an amazing speed, which is why exchanges with others will be impulsive and fast-paced. Don’t make promises without a Get Out of Jail card. A new relationship might begin today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Interruptions because of staff shortages, or the breakdown of equipment, machinery problems, computer glitches and late deliveries might be frustrating today. Nevertheless, you might have some clever, new ideas about how to improve things for the future. Speak up with your suggestions because they might be worthwhile!

Be ready to meet new friends and explore new horizons!

July 28, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.
