Moon Alert

Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST today. (The Moon is in Virgo, and moves into Libra at 5:49 p.m. EST.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your popularity is definitely going to increase now. Everyone wants to see your face! The next few weeks are an excellent time to discuss your hopes and dreams for the future with others. Their feedback might surprise you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Sun moves to the top of your chart. It will stay there for 4 - 6 weeks. This definitely puts you in the public eye for some reason. Conversations with bosses, VIPs and parents will be significant. You easily impress others you now even if you don't do anything special! (Bonus.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You have an increasing desire to run away and join the circus. You want adventure and the opportunity to meet new people and learn new things. Of course, you're always curious --but now you're literally hungry for knowledge and stimulation! Do travel in the month ahead.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You can expect to be more concerned than usual with the wealth others and what you share with others. In fact, you might have to face somebody who has different values from yours. How do you compromise? Try to find a happy middle ground.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Sun moves directly opposite you. This happens once a year and lasts for four weeks. You might feel tired because the Sun (giver of energy) is as far away from you as it can get. Be careful not to provoke opposition from others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You want efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. Everything must be tickety-boo. Alphabetize your books and CDs. Go through closets, drawers and cupboards. Buy file folders, shelving material and the right tools to help you a bang-up job.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're entering a fabulous, playful, romantic month. Get thee on a vacation if you can. You want to play! Expect increased activities with children, professional sports, the entertainment world and the arts. (Add something sexy to your wardrobe.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

As the Sun starts to slowly move along the bottom of your chart, naturally your attention turns to home, family and real estate matters more than usual. Your focus is on your private life -- your inner world. You might deal with a parent more than usual. (If you put out fresh flowers, you don't have to dust.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The daily tempo of your days will accelerate now. You've got things to do, people to see, places to go. Increased reading, writing and studying are likely. You'll take short trips in the next few weeks. Expect to be involved with siblings more than usual as well. Enjoy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your focus turns to money and finances now. (Remember that stuff? Green, reddish-pink and the nice ones are a tony buff?) Explore moneymaking ideas. You'll shop more than usual as well in the next few weeks. (Pay attention to Moon Alerts at top of the column!)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Sun moves into your sign where it will stay for the next four weeks. This is fabulous news! You feel energized, positive, enthusiastic and ready for anything. It's your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You easily attract people and auspicious opportunities now.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

As your birthday approaches, your year is coming to an end. It's time to ask yourself how well you're doing at the art of living? Are you pleased with the direction things are going? If not, what are you going to do about it all next year?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer/actress Dolly Parton (1946) shares your birthday. You're creative; and you do things with flair! People admire you. Your forceful style of expression and your bold ideas magnetize people to you. Because of this you have a lot of power and influence. Exciting new beginnings are possible this year. Keep an open mind. Be ready to jump either direction.
