Daily Horoscope for Monday, March 17, 2008

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear today to shop (whether you spend $10 or ten million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It was Monday; it was Monday all day. If you're concerned about something right now, talk to an authority figure or an expert in your field. Seek out someone who is older or more experienced. You might have some doubts about something or be second-guessing yourself today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your relations with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs are pretty serious today. Someone might lay down the law. There's a negative pall over everything because communicative Mercury opposes stern Saturn today. It's all about rules and regulations, and have you done your homework? (Groan.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Those of you who have to study or do research for school or publishing or anything related to medicine and the law will be quite productive. You're ready to do whatever is necessary, even if you're not too thrilled about it. Make travel plans or future plans about education.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You want some clear ideas about what you own and what you owe today. You want things clearly delineated. You're serious about your responsibilities, but you want to know what others expect from you. Some kind of partnership or agreement with someone could end now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Difficulties with partners and close friends might make you feel isolated or a bit lonely today. Perhaps you feel misunderstood. Worse yet, you might feel no one will ever understand you. Of course, this is a bit dramatic but then so are you! This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're in work mode today. You can easily do lots of heavy metal work that requires lots of discipline and attention to detail. In other words, you've got what it takes to do the job. Your concern is with practical matters. It's not a fluffy Monday. It's a real Monday.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be discouraged about romance today or something to do with sports, children, vacations, the arts or entertaining diversions. What looked promising is now a disappointment. Relationships that are dicey feel threatened. (Don't you hate smelling the coffee?)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is not a good day for important discussions with family. People are too easily discouraged or critical or inclined to negative thinking. Just let it be. Cope as best as you can. Don't be down on yourself about anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

When in doubt, duck. You know this. More than any other sign, optimism and negativity are vital to your survival. Negative thinking paralyzes you. Since it's easy to be critical today, put your critical eye to good use. You will quickly see what is wrong with something.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial matters might discourage you today. Don't let this get you down. This is just a temporary thing. The fact is everyone is suffering in varying degrees from a bleak outlook today. Because all of tough aspects to Mercury, we all think that things are worse than they really are. Oy vey.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You're naturally friendly. It's your style to develop a network of contacts. However, today you feel isolated, lonely and a bit cut off from others. Don't worry about this. It's just the spores in the air. Everybody feels this to some degree. Things will change very soon.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Friendships might discourage you. In fact, you might be thinking about breaking off relations with someone because it's just more trouble than it's worth. Or perhaps you just have to say goodbye to someone? Take frequent breaks from your work today. Reward yourself in some way.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Rob Lowe (1964) shares your birthday today. You embrace your causes with enthusiasm. You're passionate about life, and often involved in many projects. Many of you are very social. You love new, fresh ideas! You're imaginative, versatile and resist being typecast or picked up. You dress with a certain flair because you are constantly creative. An important choice awaits you this year. Choose wisely.
