Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions until 10:10 p.m. EDT today. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might be worrying about something today. This is because this is one of those days where it's easier to see your glass is half-empty rather than half-full. Remind yourself that it's just your point of view.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Disappointments about money, cash flow and earnings or something to do with possessions are likely today. Fortunately, this influence is a very brief one and is gone by tomorrow! Don't let the alligators get you down. Not today.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today can feel depressing or restrictive. Authority figures in the family especially might cramp your style. It's also a low-energy day. Don't get bogged down feeling world-weary; things always look darkest before they get pitch black.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It's easy to feel lonely today or cut off from others. ("Nobody loves me!") Don't worry because this is a quickly passing feeling. In fact, it might pass more quickly if you drink a lot of water. Lots of people are finding relations with others are stilted, aloof and a bit cool today. Oh well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Criticism from a friend could be a bummer today. (Leos hate criticism!) Or you might find that news from a friend sort of bums you out. Don't make a big deal about things and, certainly, don't respond in kind. Just let it pass. Tomorrow is a completely different day.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with authority figures -- bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs -- are difficult today. Others are inclined to place restrictions on you or be demanding. Furthermore, if you make suggestions, you'll probably be shot down. "Talk to the hand!" Therefore, give these people a wide berth.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Travel could be difficult today or exhausting or disappointing. You might feel the same way about higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Discussions about politics or religion are restrictive. Don't even go there. Instead, send out for dark chocolate. Ya think?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be disappointed with your share of something. Perhaps you were expecting more money back from the government or an opportunity to use something that is now denied. People are tightfisted today. Therefore, don't ask for anything -- wait until next week.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Relations with partners and close friends as well as bosses and parents are stifling today. You get the feeling that people are holding you back when, actually, you're probably the one holding yourself back. But let's not go into that. Just don't expect too much from anyone today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Work might be tough today. Circumstances around you might require that you have to do more than you think you should and you could resent it. It's as if others are in your face, interfering and only making things more difficult. Just grin and bear it. Even a hurricane only lasts for a day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Romance is probably in the toilet today. People are not feeling romantic. Au contraire. They're worried about the cost of a rose. Phfft! Similarly, sports and anything to do with children feel restrictive or full of obligations. Perhaps others are critical of your efforts in these areas? (What do they know?)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Family obligations and responsibilities seem burdensome today. Of course, that goes with the territory, right? Plus your energies are low. Don't let any of this get you down. Next year, lucky moneybags Jupiter is going to be in your sign all year for the first time in 12 years! Yay Pisces!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Mark Wahlberg (1971) shares your birthday today. You're active and agile, quick-thinking and highly conversant. People love to hear you speak; plus they respect your ideas. You're interested in many, many things. (And you're surprised to find out that some people just aren't.) You're quick to see the big picture and eager to communicate this to others. Work hard to build or construct something this year.
