Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. EDT today. After that the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You might be so excited about something at work today you just can't let it be. The scenario might be: You want others to see what you mean. You want others to agree with you. You want to put your plan into action. But what if nobody agrees?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Romance is intense. You're so hung up on an idea or a person or a jealous moment or a desirous wish, you're like a dog with a bone. This same obsessive focus could apply to dealing with children. This can only lead to frustration. Lighten up.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're determined to fix something at home or do something or make your point with someone. Your intent might be well-meaning, but your method could be over-the-top. Shall we say excessive? If you get too pushy, you'll only arouse opposition to you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You might be so focused on one idea or one thought that it crowds out all other thoughts. (Maybe you can't get the song "I Shot to the Sheriff" out of your mind. That's not so bad, Marley was good.) But don't try to coerce anyone into agreeing with you. Be cool.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today you might be obsessed about earning money or (more likely) buying something. Once you decide you really want to get hold of something -- you'll move mountains! You feel powerful and in charge of your life when you spend money. Keep your receipts.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You're compulsively focused on an idea today, possibly related to partnerships. "Where were you last night?" You can't think of anything else. As a result, power struggles with others are likely. Do something to relax or get a little distance from the situation. Count off 11 breaths. (In and out is one count.) It works!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your ability to research anything is excellent today. Because Mercury is square Pluto, everyone is fixated on an idea, person or event because Mercury rules our thinking and Pluto is like a laser beam. Put this to good use by researching the hidden truth of something.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Arguments with friends and acquaintances might easily arise today because people (including you) are so opinionated. There's no room for compromise or give-and-take or even sharing. It's "my way or the highway!" Nothing in life is so black-and-white. Get a grip.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Discussions with parents, teachers, bosses and authority figures won't be easy today. Either they're coming on like gangbusters (run away!) or you are. Either way is anti-productive and unpleasant. Avoid arguments that you don't have a stake in. Don't try to win for the sake of winning.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today's planetary influence can get you in trouble if you're pushy about your ideas with politics, religion and racial issues. (Or anything else, for that matter.) However, you can use this energy to seriously study any subject and focus intensively on it. Your choice.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Shared property, the responsibility for other people's possessions or wealth, or issues related to sex are completely absorbing your thoughts. "I'm wired!" (Money and sex are seductive.) Do remember to take time to eat today. Be polite to others.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Go gently with your conversations with partners and close friends today. It's very easy to go overboard by insisting on getting your own way or insisting that others agree with you because you're right. You're not the only one who is obsessed about something. The whole world is! (Gulp.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Sarah Chalke (1976) shares your birthday today. You have long-range dreams. You're caring, generous and idealistic. You identify with the underdog and want to help the downtrodden. Therefore, you're most successful when you work on behalf of others as well as yourself. In the year ahead, you enter a period of major transition where you'll let go of something you've been involved with to begin a fresh, new path.
