Moon Alert

We have the All Clear today to shop and make important decisions.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Serious family discussions about duty, obligations and responsibilities go well today. You feel you have the necessary support to do the job you must do. This is reassuring. It's a good day to discuss problems with those who are wiser, older and more experienced. (Awe-some.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a nice sensible way to start the week off. You feel serious, sober and ready for whatever comes your way. You've showered, dressed and you're wearing deodorant. You're ready for business negotiations or discussions about commitments and promises.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You start this week off in a fine, sensible frame of mind. You're ready to work! You want results. You're not on a rampage but you won't tolerate frivolous interferences right now. This is an excellent day to sit down and discuss problems with coworkers. Look to the long-term future.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Since your mind so easily turns to romantic situations now, new love could begin for some of you. If so, this new relationship will be unusually sober and stable. It will no doubt be long lasting. (You like that part.) If you're in for a penny -- you're in for a pound.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Discussions with parents about practical matters will arrive at some good, solid solutions today. You feel concerned about protecting what you have. You want to make it last. (That's what's so good about building a house late in life. You don't have to worry about the roof.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel tolerant and fair with those around you today. You see that your loved ones are only human after all. This helps you to keep your expectations to a realistic level. You simply expect others to do what they can, and you in turn, will do what you can.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Purchases made today will probably last for a long time. Your focus is on practical items now. You might also make practical, conservative recommendations to your boss. You're concerned with maintaining the status quo because you want to avoid waste and loss. (Simple arithmetic.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is an excellent day for legal matters, important discussions about publishing, and any kind of study related to higher education. Dealings with foreign countries or people who live far away also go well. Whatever you do, you do in a logical, forthright, steady manner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have a better understanding about how to deal with the government or large institutions today. You see now what to do so that you can act for your own best interests. Good business after all, is mutually beneficial. (That is probably what you can achieve now.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Old friends might have good advice for you today. (By old, I mean friends who are older and more experienced than you.) Listen to what others have to say. You might get some good business tips or help with something you need to know. (Always water your trap line.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

People see that you are capable in many ways now, especially artistic ways. This could surprise some. Although, no one is surprised that you're working hard. All your effort in all your various directions is starting to bring you respect and stature in the eyes of your peers.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have the discipline and perseverance to apply to your creative expression today. This particularly applies to publishing, legal matters, higher education and travel. Just take care of the small details, because the big ones will take care of themselves.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Viggo Mortensen, actor (b. 1958) shares your birthday. You know how to use the resources available to you. Your influence over others is so strong you might even start a trend or a style. Despite your public life, you have a very contrasting personal world. This year could be one of the best, luckiest years of your life.
