Moon Alert

We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or 10 million) and make important decisions until 5:15 p.m. EST. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A little tidbit: for the next several weeks, your sex drive will be stimulated. All romantic relationships will be more intense and more affectionate. You will seek and expect more from your partner. A further bonus: gifts, goodies, cash and favours can also come to you. Oh my!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today, fair Venus moves directly opposite your sign where it will stay for the next several weeks. This bodes very well for you. It's one of the best planetary positions to promote partnerships and friendships. In fact, all your dealings with others, including the general public, will be more diplomatic and harmonious.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Flirtations with a coworker are likely in the month ahead. However, in the bigger picture, you will have to play second fiddle in some way so that you keep everyone else happy. Fortunately, discussions about duties will be positive. ("Yeah, because I'm doing all the work!")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Explore any kind of creative activity that you can during the next few weeks because you're very much in touch with your muse. Romantic, love relationships are beautifully favoured, and so are playful activities with children. You want to enjoy the good life!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

In the month ahead, you will be pleased with any effort you make to redecorate or enhance your home or make where you live look more beautiful. Similarly, you'll love entertaining at home, especially warm, family gatherings. (Keep a yummy dessert on hand.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Beauty in your daily surroundings is something that you will appreciate more than usual in the next several weeks. (How lovely.) In fact, you will also discover just how much love there is in your everyday life, if you are observant enough. (Kind of reassuring.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might see ways to increase your income in the next few weeks. Great! Not only will financial opportunities come your way, but opportunities to buy beautiful things will also arise. No doubt, you'll be treating yourself and loved ones to goodies and little treasures.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a lovely opportunity to make peace with others, where there has been dissension, especially with partners and close friends. Venus will be opposite your sign creating a wonderful environment to enjoy good times with friends. Pleasure will come before work. ("A Pinot Noir! Thank you!")

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Solitude in beautiful surroundings will please you in the next few weeks. It's an unusually contemplative time for you because you are pondering serious subjects. This is not surprising since the next few years challenge you to reassess your dreams and hopes for the future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The stars definitely favour group activities and schmoozing with friends for the next month. Basically, you feel friendly to everyone! Naturally, this is a good time to get out and party with your pals. But even business conferences, committees, and professional meetings will be enjoyable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

No matter what you do for a living, others might ask for your creative or artistic input about something in the next two weeks. Some of you will also strike up a cozy relationship with a boss or a superior. New love with someone older, richer, or wiser is possible. Hmmm.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Travel for pleasure will delight you in the month ahead. Romance with someone from a different background or another country is also a strong possibility. Actually, you're attracted to anything new and unusual because you want to explore more of life. Great time for a vacation!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Two times Nobel prize-winning physicist/chemist (also first woman to win a Nobel Prize) Madame Curie (1867-1934) shares your birthday today. You're curious about everything, and you're also courageous in your approach to whatever you do. You want life to be fun and entertaining; but you also want to learn everything that you can. Challenges don't deter you, quite the opposite! Many of you develop a particular skill or technique. In the next year, you will have a major choice to make. Choose wisely.
