Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. EDT today.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
When it comes to family today, what you feel is tough love. In other words, the love is there. Oh yeah. The love is there. But you don't feel particularly touchy-feely about it. No pansy, soft stuff. You know that what counts is loyalty, support and being in someone's corner.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You feel somewhat restrained today. (You're not rash and flamboyant as a rule.) The problem is you feel a bit lonely. You feel cut off from others. You like to indulge yourself at times -- and now you feel guilty doing even that Oy vay. (What's a little whipped cream now and then?)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Sometimes even though nothing changes, you feel flush. Then again, even if nothing changes, you feel broke. This is a broke day. Such is life. Fortunately, it passes quickly. (Faster if you drink lots of water.) Your attitude affects your feelings of wealth and poverty. (As does money.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You don't feel particularly warm and fuzzy to others today. (And you are a warm, sensitive, caring person.) But today, you feel restrained, and possibly even cut off from someone. You also feel that if you make a gesture, it will be rebuffed; or worse - ridiculed. (Horrors.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Sometimes you're glass is half-full; and sometimes it's half-empty. Today, it's not even half-empty. In fact, where is your glass? I'm just making fun of the fact that you'll probably fall into negative thinking today. Try not to take it seriously. Take it with sugar and ice cream on the side.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A friend might criticize you today. (Like you really needed that.) Possibly, somebody older tries to offer you advice. You're not too keen on this either. Somehow it's easy to feel put down by others. Possibly, you're the one criticizing someone else. Either way, this is so not fun.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Bosses, parents and authority figures are rather stern and sober today. No light stuff. People want you to chop wood and do hard labour. For peanuts! This could mean saying goodbye to something or someone. You might experience the break up of something. It's one of those days.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don't be discouraged if plans for travel, publishing or advanced education suddenly look like they're down the toilet. Not so Monsieur Le Pussycat! Before you start draping everything in black crape paper, you should know that this bummer scene passes very quickly. (Whew!)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might feel that others are stingy or tightfisted with you today. Or you might just be disappointed at the lack of generosity you encounter. In fact, someone might want you to "pay up." An outstanding debt could become due now. (They always due.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Give it little thought if others are a bit reserved with you today. The whole world feels like this. Don't take it personally. People are simply more concerned with practical matters, and tangible results. Nobody's running around sprinkling fairy dust today.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The best way to impress others today is to work hard. Force yourself to focus on whatever you have to do. Concentrate on detailed, routine work. You'll be able to do it. You can handle self-denial today. Don't expect praise from your boss. Just deliver the goods.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Responsibilities related to children might feel onerous and burdensome today. Or in turn, you might feel critical about your ability to relate to others, including children. Relax. You're doing the best you can. You're perfect as you are (you just need a bit of tweaking here and there.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Richard Gere (1949) shares your birthday. You're often in the public eye. You're popular, influential and self-motivated. You have a sincere desire to help others. This is because you are easily drawn into dramatic situations. Even though you are private, most people find you entertaining and witty. It's time to finish and wrap up a major cycle in your life.
