Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions. The Full Moon in Taurus peaks at 2:14 p.m. EST.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Although today's Full Moon stresses your financial scene, fortunately, your relations with partners and close friends are very sweet and tender, just like juicy corn. It's good to have a sympathetic pal when you need one.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is the only Full Moon in your sign all year. Naturally, this sets up tension with partners and close friends. When the Moon is in your sign, it always makes you more emotional -- so you can imagine what a Full Moon does. Shee! Easy does it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Despite the intense energy of today's Full Moon, you feel romantic and idealistic about love relationships or distant crushes. The arts appeal as well today. Basically, you want to enjoy the good life. (You also feel sympathetic to children.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even though today's Full Moon triggers tension with a group, or a friend -- at least, things at home are warm and cozy. You're willing to help a family member or offer sympathy. ("I know how you feel. Bummer!")

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might feel pulled between the demands of your career and your public reputation versus the demands of your home and your family today. This is the classic dilemma for any Full Moon. Oh well, your heart is in the right place. (Right between your lungs.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're torn between buying something impossibly luxurious and elegant for yourself, or being charitable with what you own, and giving money and goods to others. Why not do both? If you can be generous to others, you can certainly be generous to yourself! Eh wot?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today's Full Moon makes you juggle finances and expenses. How much do you keep for yourself versus how much do you allocate for bills and your responsibilities to others? In another vein (different arm) you might feel your love for someone quite strongly today. (Kinda sweet.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Full Moon today is the only Full Moon directly opposite your sign all year. Naturally, this can set up a kind of tension between you and partners or close friends. Knowing this, all you have to do is be more patient and less judgmental. (Easier said than done. I know whereof I speak.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's easy to feel fond of a friend or an acquaintance. That's because your heart easily opens to others today. Quite likely, others feel the same to you, and this could be a comfort if you feel tension or conflict at work. You might also have health concners. We all need a hug, preferably daily.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Tension with friends or members of groups could erupt today because of the Full Moon energy. If this happens, remind yourself that this same tension can fade in 48 hours. Just hang tight. Romance with a boss or someone older or richer might happen today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some Full Moons are easier than others. This isn't one of them. Everything is at cross purposes with your sign today, especially trying to juggle career and home. One thing is working, however. Romance with someone from another culture, and even the chance to appreciate the beauty of other lands will delight you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Romantic relationships are unusually idealistic today. Intimacy is sweet. In addition, others might be very generous to you with gifts, goodies, and favours. (Just say thank you.) Avoid debates about religion, politics, and racial issues -- not on the Full Moon. (Ya think?)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Queen of France Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) shares your birthday today. Change is a theme in your life. Not only do you undergo change, you have the power to change the lives of others. Your life often focuses on Scorpion qualities like money, sex and power. Naturally, you are adaptable and resourceful (the things one learns from change)! Enjoy the social opportunities you have this year because next year, your focus will be on study and learning.
