Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a feel-good day -- and you're feeling good! In fact, your emotional responses to others are unusually intense today. You feel passionate, interested, concerned, territorial, and even defensive. There's no wishy-washy about you at all today. Everything matters.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Because today's Moon is opposite your sign, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is no big deal. Your attention is on partners and close friends anyway. However, conflicts will be emotional. Why not put a lid on things? (With a pretty little bow on top.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a pleasant day to kick back and relax. However, you would prefer to accomplish things and strike a few items off your To Do list. You are rather keen to be efficient, effective, and productive. My, my. Attention to home crafts and personal hygiene items is likely. You want pull things together.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Oh joy! This is a playful time, and it's also Saturday! Love, romance, parties, and social events beckon to you. Sporting events will appeal. Regardless of your own sex or inclination -- relations with women will be good today. Enjoy fun times with children as well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will continue to work hard because you have the energy, the motivation and the need to do so! Nevertheless, today is an excellent day to take a breath, and putter around home. Relax with family if you can. Sleep in. Have a second coffee -- all that good stuff.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Busy you! This is an excellent day for short trips, shopping, buying and selling, running errands, schmoozing with others, and getting whatever needs to be done - done! Think of the satisfaction you will feel. Especially if you do something that's been nagging you forever.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Focus on money and cash flow today. Respect your moneymaking ideas. If there's something you want to do -- run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes. You'll enjoy your possessions today. You might even enjoy polishing furniture! (Of course, if you put out fresh flowers, you don't have to dust.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it also increases your good luck. Not in a huge way -- but in a little way. And every little bit of good luck is a good thing. Enjoy your day!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have a need for privacy today. You want to emotionally and physically withdraw somewhere so you can pull your act together before you take it on the road. There's so many issues with money and possessions that you're thinking about! Buzz, buzz, ka-ching!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Talk to others, especially a female friend (regardless of your own sex) about your dreams and wishes for the future. If you bounce your ideas off others, their feedback could be surprisingly helpful. What's to lose? Give it a shot.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some aspect of your private life will definitely suddenly be quite public today. No matter how brief. In fact, authority figures will be the first to notice. (This includes the police.) Think about the circumstances under which you want to get your name in the paper.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do something different today. Shake up your routine. Visit parks, buildings, boutiques, museums, galleries, and beautiful places. Talk to people from other cultures and different backgrounds. Do anything that pushes the boundaries of your experience. (You don't have to get a tattoo.)
