Moon Alert
avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4:30 a.m. until noon EDT today.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Definitely allow extra time this week for traveling, writing and communicating. Delays and goof ups are inevitable. Ironically, although you're inconvenienced, new ways of doing things will occur to you. You gotta take the bad with the good: when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. (Use lots of sugar.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Mercury retrograde takes place in your sign now. Ex partners and old friends appear in your life again. (You can act sincere even if you have to fake it.) A friend might surprise you; or you could meet somebody unusual. No matter what -- the stars still favour you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You always feel a Mercury retrograde. Caution: because by nature you multitask, things can fall through the cracks now. You feel bolder and more experimental as the day wears on. Expect surprise news from bosses and the grand fromage. Be prepared to style flex. (This is easy for you.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Contact with old friends is unexpected (but likely) now. Your sex drive is strong and this means anything could happen. This is a particularly social week for you, so make the most of opportunities that come your way. All group dynamics are blessed and enjoyable now.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Increased interaction with a parent is likely. Expect to run into old bosses as well. Others notice you now; work hard. After all, it's better to wear out than rust out. Partnerships and close friendships demand extra patience from you. Be tolerant. (Patience is the art of hoping.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Discussions with VIPs, bosses and parents improve as the day wears on. You want to accomplish a lot this week however, you will have to allow extra time for everything because Mercury (your ruler) is retrograde. Revisit plans for returning school, travel and publishing ideas.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Relations with partners and the public in general, can shine for you now. Patience and diplomacy come easily to you. In truth, you would rather play than work at this time. Nevertheless, this is a good week to finish taxes, debt related matters and decisions about shared property.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Old business with partners must be rehashed. Don't worry; this could turn out in your favour. Try to be patient and understanding with family members. If you can do this, you'll be happier too. After all, you need a calm mind to spot career opportunities that definitely exist now.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This Mercury retrograde period attacks your work and your job. Chill out. Change the things you can and accept the things you can't. That's all anyone can do. Everybody else is suffering from this as well but in different ways. Delays and silly little confusions are unavoidable.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Lots of stuff from your past (especially about old romances and dealing with children) surfaces now. You're practically tripping over ex lovers. (Naturally, this depends on how busy you were.) Prior show business or sports contacts can help some. Everything has a deja vu quality to it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Mercury retrograde can make you think you're losing it. Lost keys, misplaced papers and books, confused communications, plus problems with old things you thought were now behind you seem to dog your steps. It particularly affects home and domestic matters for you. Aaggghh.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Do your best to stay on top of your communication and transportation scene. Glitches with travel, transportation, phones, communications, messaging, faxes and computers are inevitable. Double-check ordinary details. Pay your bills related to these areas. (Make sure E.T. can phone home.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Food writer, TV cook, James Beard (b. 1901) shares your birthday. You love to enlighten others. No matter what you do, you enjoy offering valuable advice. You have keen insights and share them with a convincing style. You want to alert the world to important truths. Expect a highly social year ahead with a strong focus on series partnerships.
