Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, July 16, 2003

Moon Alert

After 11:25 AM EDT, we have the All Clear today to shop and make important decisions.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

While your ruler Mars lingers for six months (most unusual) in Pisces, you feel a lot of strange moods and urges rising within you. Today you might feel inexplicably impulsive, nervous and restless. The part that bugs you is you don't know why. Unfortunately, neither do I.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might feel impatient with a friend today. No doubt, your typical Taurus charm will win out and your friend will have no idea what you're thinking. You are one of the most emotionally disciplined signs in the zodiac. (That's because when you lose it - yowsers!)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You're ambitious now. Today, your ambition has a relentless, almost impatient quality. You want to get your act together so that you can take it on the road. People with authority or influence around you might stall and cause delays. But whatayagonnado?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You want to break free of restrictions that bug you. (Enuff awreddy.) That's why you have a sudden urge to travel or go somewhere. You want to blow this pop stand. And it's quite all right to put yourself first now. This is the one time of the year when you should. This is your month.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Although you still feel comfortable behind the scenes seeking rest and spiritual stimulation, you have an increasing urge to come out of your shell now. Mercury, the planet of communication and intellectualization has just moved into Leo. This means you've got a lot to say.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mars generally stays in a sign for seven weeks. This time it's in a sign for six months -- right opposite your sign. (Beethoven's Fifth riff here.) Today's Moon in Pisces emphasizes this little number. That's why you need extra patience when dealing with partners and close friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You simply don't want anybody telling you what to do at work today. In fact, if people get in your face, you'll walk. Of course, if you do need to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head -- you'll only walk as far as the washroom. (Very wise.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Surprise flirtations and naughty little get-togethers could spice your day. You certainly feel playful, frisky and prankish. (Many people do not understand how playful your sign can be.) Today holds pleasant surprises and quirky twists and turns. Enjoy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's easy to be impatient with family members today. While there is no family on this planet that does not suffer from negativity at some time -- we all need family. They provide a fertile field for growth. Where else can you get such opportunities to practice patience - daily?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You feel impatient with your normal routine today. You want to do something completely different. Of course, this must be within reason. You're not going to rip off your clothes and jump into the nearest fountain. Probably, because there's no fountain nearby. (Not like in Rome.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You're ready to part with your money today. You're itching to buy something. It feels like an expression of your independence to do so. That may be well and good, but is this a good reason to part with your hard earned cash? Not.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

I've said how irritated your sign might be while Mars is in Pisces. Several readers have told me to stop saying this because it irritates them. (True story.) Today you feel invigorated, ready for bear and impulsive. And the Moon is in your sign giving you favourable odds over everybody else. Yay!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Dancer Michael Flatley (b. 1958) shares your birthday. You are a romantic who seeks adventure in life. You are passionate, tender and nurturing. Underneath this, you have a steady logic that makes you faithful to your cause. You love to teach. The year ahead holds exciting beginnings in many areas for you.
