Moon Alert

We have the All Clear today to shop (coat, condo or a company) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Something to do with publishing, the media, travel, dealing with foreign countries, education and schooling will be interrupted today. This could be due to a fire drill, a power outage or a computer crash. Expect the unexpected. This day will be easier if you stay flexible and light on your feet.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Check your bank accounts and your bills. Nobody likes their power cut off. Something surprising or unexpected to do with shared resources, jointly held property, or bills and taxes could suddenly catch you off guard. Therefore, make friends with your financial scene.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, staff shortages and/or other glitches will likely interrupt your workday. Stay light on your feet. Be prepared to slide either way to accommodate these unexpected shifts. Your day will not turn out as planned. (Even unplanned days will be weird - they might feel "planned!")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents should keep track of their kids today. Matters related to social occasions, parties, the theatre, sports, fun events and activities related to children are all susceptible to confusion and sudden disruptions. Fortunately, these are minor speed bumps. Just be prepared for them. Allow a little extra time for everything.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your home routine will not unfold as expected today. Unexpected company could drop by. (Might be a good idea to stock the fridge.) On the other hand, expected company might be a no-show. Small appliances could break down. The tooth fairy might not visit.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a mildly accident prone day today for your sign. Take it easy. Slow down. Don't push the river. However, new faces or surprising encounters will make it an interesting day. Unusual news or unexpected encounters with siblings might be a tad amazing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your day will definitely not go as planned. Unexpected interruptions will occur with transportation, or your means of getting from one place to another, or at work. Siblings and relatives could be another surprise. However, these are all minor situations. Nothing you can't handle.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be aware of your money scene today. Keep your receipts. Count your change. Check your bank account. What about your bills? (Anything about to be disconnected?) Something unexpected that affects your finances or your possessions could occur. Hey -- you might find money!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You feel quite restless today. That's because the Moon is in your sign, and this can make you feel more emotional than usual. However, on top of this, it's a bit at odds with unpredictable Uranus, which means anything can happen. Expect the unexpected, which is of course, impossible to do. Stay off your heels.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do whatever makes you feel comfortable today. You need to do this because conversations and tape loops that are running in your mind (always in the background) are distracting. You're not losing it. It's just that kind of day and it will be over by tomorrow. (Whew!)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will either meet someone unusual today, or someone you already know will do something unusual that catches you off guard. People are very unpredictable, especially groups you're dealing with. Be ready for anything. Look calm and collected and go with the flow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Bosses, parents and teachers are hard to fathom today. You might not be sure what they want. The question is -- are they sure what they want? Something makes you want to break free of any restraints. You're tired of reporting in. (This feeling is gone by tomorrow.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse (1959) shares your birthday today. You have a droll sense of humor. You like to provoke others. You're dramatic and confident. Many of you are also controversial and outrageous. Because you're intelligent and knowledgeable, you sound like an authority in your field. (And generally are.) You speak with confidence and authority. In the year ahead, you will learn something valuable, perhaps through study.
