Moon Alert
Caution: avoid shopping or making important decisions from 6 a.m. until 10:15 p.m. EDT today.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a poor day for financial speculation. There's fuzzy thinking out there for lots of people. Of course, this hits everyone differently. For Aries, it will be tough to gauge a gamble, a long shot or financial speculation. Romance is behind the eight ball as well. Oy!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a lousy day for important discussions with parents. In fact, all domestic discussions could be like two ships passing in the night. Your mouth is moving, but nobody's at home. Don't react if you feel disappointed with someone. Perhaps your expectations were too high.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Don't worry if you spend most of today wool gathering. (I prefer silk.) What is serious however, are discussions with colleagues, relatives and siblings. Don't get your belly in a rash about anything. No one means to offend you. It just looks that way to you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a poor day for commercial transactions and business deals. You think you have the facts. You might think you have all your ducks lined up in a row. But there is Vaseline on your lens. You're not seeing things clearly. Therefore, delay major expenditures and outlays of cash. (Oh yeah.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
What a romantic you are! (You have no choice.) Don't get carried away with being disillusioned or upset with partners or close friends today. In all likelihood, your expectations were unrealistic or off base. Misunderstandings are rampant today. Therefore, just smile and wait.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You're quite the perfectionist. (You're in touch with your Inner Martha.) Today something or someone ruffles your cage. This causes you to doubt yourself or feel insecure. Perhaps it triggers the worst fears you have about yourself. "These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along. "
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You don't like to fly solo. Today, a friend or group disappoints you. Before you judge others, consider your own expectations. Perhaps those who disappoint you are simply functioning within the limitations. Eh wot? You can't get mad at someone for being just who they are.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is an extremely poor day to have important discussions with parents, bosses, supervisors, VIPs and authority figures. You make yourself heard or understood. Furthermore, you won't get the drift of what others are trying to tell you. Too much static on the line.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Do not proselytize or influence others about your religious, philosophical or political beliefs. Although your motivations are excellent (one can only hope) there's no point in trying to inculcate others to your belief system. Lighten up! (There are none so deaf as those wearing headphones.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Even though you have to deal with shared property and the wealth of others at this time, today is not a good day to make major decisions regarding this. You could give away the farm. You might not appreciate all the subtle nuances involved. Lie low.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a confusing day dealing with partners, close friends and loved ones. Of course, you can fake it, with the best of them. But you know down deep that your message is not being received. And vice versa! Be gentle in your judgment of others. You don't see the true picture.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
If you feel betrayed by a coworker, this might not be the case. Things are not as they appear. (Are they ever?) Do not act on what you think is a betrayal, a snub, or an insensitive remark. Since you cannot really see what others are dealing with -- be patient and compassionate.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Dustin Hoffman (1937) shares your birthday. You're dramatic and enthusiastic. Sometimes you're extravagant in the eyes of others (not yours.) You have many talents -- both corporate and artistic. You're very determined, and need a lot of freedom in your relationships. You have impeccable taste. The year ahead is social and most beneficial for relationships.
