Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3:45 a.m. until 2:20 p.m. EST today. After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have a keen, penetrating mind today. This is a marvelous day to study, research, or explore new subjects. (Great day for students.) You'll also be interested in philosophy, religion, politics, and esoteric subjects. You want to know what's behind the real story. "Give me the skinny!"

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You're never casual about money and shared holdings! Today you've got your green eye shades on to do some number crunching about insurance matters, inheritances, wills, taxes, debt, and anything to do with shared property. Nothing will elude you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Encounters with others are not casual today. They might try to persuade you. You might try to persuade them. A mental power struggle could take place. It's also easy to get hung up on one tiny detail or idea today. ("I wanted nonfat!")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Because this is a wonderful day for mental activity, it's a great day at work for most of you. (It's not that great a day if you have a job where you don't need to think -- like early morning brain surgery.) Your powers of concentration are so good today, it's spooky! "Swami sees everything!"

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

In discussions with children, or in discussions about sports or anything related to romance - you might lose your focus by getting hung up on one aspect. It's hard to keep your perspective because once you settle on something, you're like a dog with a bone, and you won't let go!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a wonderful day for renovations at home, or doing repairs to plumbing, bathrooms or practically anything. Your mind is super focused. You know what needs to be done. You want to get rid of decay, rot, and anything that doesn't work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Conversations with others will be intense today. You can't help wanting to get to the bottom of something. You want to know why, where, and when about whatever is going on. You might even give somebody the third degree. ("No thanks. I already have three degrees.")

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're looking at your cash flow and money scene with X-ray vision today. You want to know where the money is going. You want to know why there's always so much month left at the end of the money. You want to get to the bottom of things. What happens to the cash?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's easy to get fixated on something today. You might have a song stuck in your head like "Wide Open Spaces" and you can't get rid of it. Wherever you go, your dad yells, "Check the oil!". Oh well. Avoid petty squabbles.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Great day for research! You have the mind of a sleuth, and you're relentless in your search for answers or solutions. You might find something that was lost. You might also catch somebody else in a lie or discover a big secret. (One can only hope.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Group discussions are an intense battle of wits. Others might try to convince you to agree with them. You won't. You'll try to get them to agree with you. They won't. In the end, nobody agrees with anyone. This just proves that we're all in this alone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You're not afraid to confront authority figures today because you have the courage of your own convictions. You've done your research, and you know what you're doing. Perhaps you need to convince others how to see what the bottom line really is? It was ever thus.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Ellen Burstyn (1932) shares your birthday today. You have a vivid imagination, and a wonderful sense of whimsy. You are quite unique. Perhaps, this is why you your self are drawn to characters. You generally choose to March to your own drummer. It's important to find a profession that makes you happy. In the next year, work hard to build or construct something important for you.
