Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 11:30 AM until 5:30 PM EDT today
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your concerns today are quite practical: "How useful is this? What am I getting out of it?" You want to know what is really worth doing. You want results for your efforts. And if the results are worth working for -- you are definitely willing to dig in and go after them.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You can get an enormous amount done today working with others. Your ego won't get in the way. Group efforts are smoothly cooperative and synchronized. It is true that, "Many hands make light work." (I always used to imagine lots of hands reaching up to one light bulb.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a good day to just keep plugging away at whatever you want to achieve, even if it's not dramatic or particularly impressive. The job has to be done, and you're willing to do it. One thing is certain: you will feel enormous satisfaction when it is done.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're willing to work hard today to straighten out matters connected with publishing, higher education, travel and foreign countries. You see what needs to be done -- and you're resigned to doing it. Be patient with coworkers and siblings who might not agree with you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is the perfect day to plow through boring red tape connected with insurance, taxes, debt, bills and questions about joint property and shared possessions. You'll work at a steady controlled pace. You want to finish this so you never have to see it again.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Disagreements with family members over improvements at home (or within the family) might arise today, especially this evening. Fortunately, others are willing to back you up and help you cope with your situation. You can get rid of a lot of garbage today. (Physically and mentally.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You can get a tremendous amount of work done today. This is a great day for physical or mental work that requires attention to detail, perseverance and patience. You've got this in spades now! Research and resolve pay off today. The world stands aside to let you pass by.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You feel confident about matters connected with children, show business, the entertainment world and even your romantic life. Your determination in these areas could trigger an argument about money and possessions with someone. Don't worry; you know what you're doing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your determination to make sweeping changes at home could result in a power struggle with a parent or authority figure today. Go gently. Yell softly. You are simply doing the best you can with what you've got. You want to make improvements at home that last for a long time in the future.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
No matter what you do today, you'll be productive. You find it easy to work at a steady, regular pace. Furthermore you will not overlook details. You have mouse mind (not eagle mind) and this lets you get a lot of onerous, boring work completed successfully. (You'll love yourself later.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Gads -- you're ready to work hard today. Whatever you do will not have to be repeated or corrected. Nothing will be overlooked. Your concerns are primarily practical. (Because of this, you could impress superiors.) You agree with that old dictum: "no pain, no gain." At least for today.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It's entirely possible that you will get to know yourself better today through your efforts. Increased self-respect is likely when you see what you are capable of doing, primarily because you have the stick-to-it-of-ness necessary to get the job done.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Writer Mary Roberts Rinehart (b. 1867) shares your birthday. You value tradition. Although flamboyant and witty, you are essentially serious and rather wise. You live at a busy pace. You blaze new trails and make technological improvements in your field. You can expect more solitude this year to study and learn something important.
