Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, January 7, 2004

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping and making important decisions from a 3 p.m. EST for the rest of the day. The Full Moon in Cancer takes place at 10:40 a.m. EST today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today's Full Moon pulls you in two directions: you're forced to make a choice between the demands of home versus career. Since there are strong opportunities for you in terms of your career, your public reputation and how people view you right now -- don't ignore these areas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Little, ordinary day-to-day details might frazzle you today. It's a Full Moon thang. Because of this, take extra caution driving, jogging, walking and leaping onto moving escalators. Ditto for conversations with relatives, neighbors and siblings. There's too much static in the air.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today's Full Moon could make you mildly anxious about money, possessions and why you don't have more of both. Millions know how you feel. You could be indecisive you about how to share something with somebody else. Relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is the only Full Moon in your sign all year. On top of that, the Moon rules you! Naturally, you feel emotionally intense and restless. Tomorrow, you'll feel much better. Nevertheless, it's still today. Be patient with partners. Be prepared to cater to their needs. (Oh yeah.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You know it's a joy to labour for those you love. And today you're wondering just how joyful you want to get. After all, you're not a doormat. Nevertheless, large institutions and possibly the government, demand your cooperation about something. Just do it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient with children and young people today. Romantic interests could be a source of tension. It's because you're not sure what to do about something. You're not even sure who to put first -- yourself, a friend, or someone else? When in doubt -- hesitate thoughtfully.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tension with bosses, parents and family members could arise today because of today's Full Moon. Patience is your only option. That's because patience is the antidote to anger. It's not worth getting short tempered with others. It only makes everybody (including you) miserable.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don't be pushy about pressing home your point today. Today's Full Moon could make you lose your perspective about things. You don't have to win; you don't have to lose. It doesn't have to be a competition. Step back and take a deep breath.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don't jump the gun financially speaking. You're very eager to spend money or make money today, but the coast is not entirely clear. The wealth or resources of others might conflict with what you want to do. Wait a day or two before you act.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today's Full Moon opposes your sign. (Each Full Moon means that the Sun and Moon are 180� apart.) That means you're completely one half of this equation. That's why you're not sure what to put first -- your own needs or those of someone else? Just play it cool.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The best way to handle today's Full Moon is to get a little privacy and time by yourself. You need to chill out and ponder life's profundities. After all, you know that "to bear the ring of power -- one must be alone."

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You need to be extra patient with others today -- especially friends and groups. Today's Full Moon makes people a bit edgy and nervous. You'll feel this coming back at you. If you wait a beat before you speak, and smile before you answer the phone -- things will be better.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Nicolas Cage (b. 1964) shares your birthday. You're sensitive to your environment and interested in many things. You sense things that others do not. You have a vivid imagination and easily see life around you with a childlike openness. You do not prejudge; you are tolerant and accepting. Major changes will take place in your life this year.
