Moon Alert

Caution: avoid shopping or making important decisions from 6:15 a.m. EDT until 3 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You're a very generous sign. You're generous emotionally, physically and practically. (That's why you're always willing to give others a piece of your mind.) Right now your feelings are quite tender because you're thinking about ways to help a friend. Quite possibly, someone wants to help you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You're feeling increasingly warmhearted to coworkers and people at work lately. (By tomorrow, you're practically ready to give the shirt off your back to someone.) If you do - they're lucky, because you like to wear silk. You're also prepared to lobby on behalf of someone. (That's nice.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Don't let your idealism run away with you. (Not unless you've packed a hot lunch.) On the other hand, your creative impulses are fabulous right now. The muse within you is alive and well! Today and tomorrow are particularly rewarding times working with children. Romance is hot too!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You know you are the nurturer of the zodiac. You can restore a pot of soup, a broken tool, and ailing plant, a crying child, and even a stalled car. You're a whiz at making things better. Today and tomorrow your sympathetic touch is enormously comforting to family member.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Lately, you feel very empathetic and sympathetic with a close friend or partner. You're able to see things from their point of view. This gives you so much more understanding and appreciation of what others are going through. (Of course, they don't have to polish their throne every night.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You want to put your money where your mouth is. (Not literally.) You might help someone -- perhaps someone you know, or perhaps -- through a charitable organization. You want to be supportive. Personally, you're ready to treat yourself to something quite lovely as well.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You feel idealistic and you want to help others. Look for opportunities to do this today and tomorrow. Remember: true generosity is giving what is needed. You might think if you're too generous, you won't have anything left. Not so! It's hard to find opportunities to be truly generous.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're so powerful, when you help others you literally change their world. (Never forget that you encompass the extremes of Mother Teresa and Marquis de Sade. There are no shades of gray. Everything is black and white.) Right now you are totally selfless to the point of the sacrifice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today or tomorrow you might have an opportunity to join others in support of a worthy cause. You want to actively benefit a needy group or someone who is less fortunate. You're very good at rousing the troops. With your natural enthusiasm, you can be a veritable Pied Piper!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Someone in a position of authority might show you great kindness today or tomorrow. Possibly, you have the opportunity to perform a needed service for your boss or your parent or a VIP. You might also speak out on behalf of a needy cause. You want to make the world a better place.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your curiosity about religion, mystical thought, metaphysics, astrology and philosophy is highly aroused right now. You feel some kind of deep truth has been revealed to you. And indeed, this might be the case. Nobody knows except you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

If you need help, someone will come to your aid today or tomorrow. Quite possibly, the reverse is true, and you are helping someone else or bailing somebody out of a tough scene. Be practical, be responsive, but don't be a martyr.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Alicia Silverstone (1976) shares your birthday. You're a charming realist. There's far more to you than meets the eye. You have wonderful wit and humor. On the surface, you're smooth, social and pleasing. Privately, you're quite tough. You're certainly nobody's fool. Intense situations and people attract you. Focus on your closest partnerships and friendships this year. \
