Daily Horoscope for Monday, January 17, 2005

Moon Alert

After 7 a.m. EST, we have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You start this week off with an above average awareness of your financial situation. (Yet again -- no funds!) And no funds is no fun. But you know that. Not to worry. Three planets now make you cavalier, spontaneous and adventurous. Just the way you like to be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a fine day to start this week off. The Moon is in your sign. All Hail Caesar! You have lots of energy to devote to a lot of things. Some of that energy is hot and sexual! You're also concerned with estates, inheritances, wills, shared property and the like.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Some individuals are a tad contentious, wouldn't you say? Are they displeased with you or just looking for a fight? In either case, you don't have to respond. In fact, today you need peace and quiet. Why not hide somewhere with a book or a few new magazines? (Sheer pleasure.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You're certainly prepared to work hard now. Because of this, you'll get a lot done this week. Discussions with friends, probably a good female friend or someone with sympathetic ear might be meaningful for you today. You need a lot of psychological (even physical) hugging. Gosh.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It's not unusual for your mind to be completely wrapped up with love affairs, romance, the theatre, the arts and of course dear, wonderful children. But it is a bit intense this week! Today people notice you. The Moon is at high noon in your chart. Bow, curtsy, bow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Despite the fact you're making all these major changes at home and working hard to make improvements (oh yes, there's opposition) -- you can't keep this pace up forever. Today you need some escape. Shake up your routine a little. Do something different. Anything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a busy time for you. Short trips, appointments, tasks, errands and work (on top of all this!) leave you panting and gasping for air. You can barely order your cappuccino. (2%, dry.) Just keep struggling and muddling through all this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today's Moon opposes your sign. Don't get your belly in a rash about this; it's small potatoes. (French-fries really.) In fact, your big decision might just be -- vinegar or ketchup? Make an effort to listen to others today. You have to go more than halfway for good communication.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You're rather proud of yourself today. It's Monday and you're keen to get something done. You want get more organized. You want to cross some things off your To Do list. No problemo! With Mars in your sign you've got tons of energy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a lovely, playful day. It's a nice way to start the week off. You feel flirtatious, prankish and open to more whimsy in your life. Your creative vibes are strong today. Focus on the arts, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry or education with children. Buy chocolate.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your focus is on home and family. There's something you have to sort out here. You're feeling very social; plus travel plans and educational and publishing opportunities look fabulous. Nevertheless, you always have to address your kitchen sink first. Always.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You start this week off with a busy tempo. It's not frantic, but it's not a waltz. Your ambition is very keen now. You know what you want to achieve. And of course you're going to do it. But why not soften up the troops first? Let's sugarcoat a few facts first.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Jim Carrey (1962) shares your birthday. You like to express yourself in a forceful, colorful way. (Others love this about you.) You understand the human condition because you're a people watcher. You know what makes others tick. You are uninhibited and quite physical. Expect increased solitude in the year ahead so that you can learn something important.
