Moon Alert
We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Parents must be understanding and gentle with children today. (It's far too easy to suddenly criticize.) Best to follow Goethe's advice: "Correction does much but encouragement does more." Social occasions might feel stiff and formal. This quality is fleeting. (Thank heavens.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might work very hard today to make where you live look more attractive. Discussions with parents are apt to be serious. They could involve defining someone's obligations and duties. (Oh that.) Thoughts about well-planned endings arise now.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You find it difficult to express your affection to others today. Instead, you feel a bit withdrawn, perhaps mildly depressed. It's nothing really. It passes quickly. (Especially if you drink a lot of water.) Older siblings or relatives might offer advice. (But you might not be interested.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're probably concerned with financial matters today. If you spend money, it will certainly be for something practical and useful that lasts a long time. However, someone older, wiser or more experienced might have useful advice for you. (Hey -- it doesn't hurt to listen.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today Venus lines up with Saturn in your sign. This casts a sort of dour quality over everything, especially relationships with loved ones and partners. You might feel insecure, unloved or disappointed about something. Fortunately, this note of negativity is brief -- gone quickly!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Some days you feel your glass is half-empty. This might be one of those days. Perhaps someone says something that embodies your worst fears about yourself. Pshaw! This is just Saturn rattling your cage. It's definitely gone by tomorrow. Keep it light and positive.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You might seek out advice from someone older, especially about relationships. You're reflecting about life and what this relationship might mean to you. Some might have to say goodbye to someone. For some reason, you feel somewhat restrained. It's tough to bridge the gap. (Oy vey.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Someone experienced, perhaps an authority figure in your life, can offer you advice now. Your concerns are practical. You don't want to look like a dingaling in the eyes of anyone. (Not that you are -- but you might feel someone's judgment, and this makes you second-guess yourself.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The practical application of religious ideas, political concepts or legal rulings might concern you today. You want to know how things work, if indeed they do at all. You're not going to fall for ideas that are flashy and sexy. You want models that are practical and meaningful.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It's easy to take your responsibilities for other people or your responsibilities for their possessions very seriously today. You're not in a frivolous mood. You respect the obligations you have. You have a willing acceptance of duty today.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Discussions with partners, close friends and important clients will focus on practical, useful matters. You want to establish terms, boundaries and situations that are mutually beneficial. Actually, this is an excellent day to do this. Pull up a chair.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It's easy to be productive today. You want results for your efforts; and you know there's no free lunch. Look for ways to economize and cut costs at work or in health-related areas. A separation from a small pet is possible. You won't shirk what has to be done. It's a duty-before-pleasure kind of day. (You wash, I'll dry.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Musician, bandleader Branford Marsalis (1960) shares your birthday. You like to work behind the scenes. However, because you understand the dynamics of people pulling together for a united cause -- you can achieve great things. You're a hard-working, loyal team player. You're also an excellent parent. You have solid values and you're not confused. A beautiful, social fun-loving year awaits you! Enjoy!
