Moon Alert
We have the all-clear today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is an excellent day for routine or even demanding work that requires concentration and attention to detail. Don't try to see the big picture or schmooze visiting big shots from Rotterdam. Just do the job at hand. Avoid criticizing co-workers.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It's too easy to criticize children or lovers and romantic interests today. (It's a form of negativity. And negativity is wanting things to be different than the way they are.) Just nip this in the bud. Remember Goethe's advice: "Correction does much but encouragement does more."
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Family conversations will be overly critical and picky today. Don't get involved. Instead, work hard at something that requires steady persistence and attention to detail. Use today's "picky, critical" astrological influence to get things done and not to make things worse. Capiche?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're worrying too much about something. You might be hung up on a pessimistic point of view. (Why bother? It will probably rain.) In truth, you can't see the forest for the trees. Forget why things can't be done. Let it go. Lighten up.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? And no matter how much money you make, your debt increases! What gives? You do. You give lots to yourself and others, which means the only one making money is Visa or MasterCard because they definitely have your interest at heart.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Communications with others are difficult today because you feel cautious. You're afraid you might give something away or say the wrong thing. ("Busted!") And you're critical of people's plans and ideas. No wonder; look how they're dressed! Shee!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The best way to use today's energy (a negative, critical, tightass energy), is to put it to work. Do anything that requires steady effort and acute attention to detail. You'll be able to do this kind of research extremely well. Get down to it. (How many n's are in anal?)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Group activities are definitely handicapped today by several astrological influences. For starters, a lot of people are confused about something. Secondly, they're not going to be forgiving. Oh no! They're going to be as critical as all get out. If you make a mistake, they'll be all over you like a wet T-shirt.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Discussions with authority figures - bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs - could be discouraging today. Nobody wants to see the big picture. People are just hung up on picky, picky, picayune details. It's all so trivial.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
If you're dealing with travel situations or anything to do with universities, colleges, institutions of higher training as well as publishing and media, don't be a pinhead. Although this is what you might encounter. People have mouse mind today, not eagle mind. Wachagonnado?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is actually an excellent day to roll up your sleeves and tackle a lot of red-tape, boring, routine details related to inheritances, insurance matters, taxes, debt and all that kind of stuff. Your critical faculties are sharp! You won't miss a thing. (But the financial picture might look bleak.) Oy vey.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Try not to be critical of partners and close friends today, even if they deserve it. Life is weird. If you look for reasons to be critical, you'll find them. If you look for reasons to admire others, you'll find them. It's so true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor/director Ben Affleck (1972) shares your birthday today. You are strong-willed and decisive. You make your own mind up about things. A quiet noble dignity makes you commanding or a natural leader in the eyes of others. People respect you. Ironically, many of you are not aware of this. Nevertheless, you often have the last say in family matters and such. Your year ahead blesses social occasions and relationships.
