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 Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Brace yourself for silly mistakes and goofy errors with cash flow, money, and even the way you earn your money. Now, in the next few weeks, count your change. Keep your receipts. Make friends with your bank account. Write down your credit card info in case you misplace or lose anything. (Oops.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Batten down the hatches because Mercury is retrograde in your sign! You can run but you can't hide. Communications with others will be rife with misunderstandings. It's easy to misplace and lose things. Get used to missed appointments, transportation delays, and silly mistakes. (Sigh.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Even though the month ahead is full of confused communications and silly errors, the truth is, your ability to research stuff and dig up answers to questions or solve old problems is actually excellent. There are two sides to every Mercury retrograde. (The bad and the not so bad.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Old friends and contacts from the past will be popping up in your life now, and in the next few weeks. Generally, this is a good thing because it's nice to have history with others. You value this. Of course, some people are like bad sitcoms you never want to see again. "Run away!"

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your involvement with parents and authority figures, especially from your past will increase now, and in the month ahead. Not only will you see these people more than usual, you might also have to finish old business they expect to see done. (On the hot seat?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel delays, and perhaps even canceled plans relating to trips, something to do with higher education, and work in publishing or the media will simply be unavoidable in the month ahead. However, old business will flow more smoothly. Finish up stuff! (Especially that thesis.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Delays with inheritances, wills, and anything to do with the wealth of others, or property of others might frustrate you in a month ahead. These same delays could apply to earnings (or the lack of earnings) of your partner. Look for solutions by exploiting past opportunities.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Mercury is now going retrograde directly opposite your sign, which will definitely put you in contact with ex-partners more than usual. ("They're scaling the walls!") This could be an opportunity for closure or for wrapping up old business. Perhaps.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

There's no question that your efficiency at work is going to suffer this month and next. Just grin and bear it. Anticipate problems by getting to work earlier, allowing extra time for everything, expecting staff shortages, canceled appointments, computer crashes, and lost paperwork. Oy vey.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Old flames and ex-lovers are back on the scene again. This could be titillating or horrific. (It always depends on how it all went down, right?) Issues with sports, children, vacations, and the arts might also suffer from delays. Allow some wiggle room here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Old issues at home are back in your lap again. Deal with repairs. Expect to be in contact with relatives you haven't seen for a while. Stock the fridge. The next few weeks are about a trip back down memory lane. Whether you want to go or not. (Family reunion time.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Mercury retrograde for the next six weeks is a particularly wicked one for you because transportation and communications will really be challenged! Pay your phone bill. And your electricity bill. Charge your cell phone. Anticipate transportation delays. Be extra clear in communications. "Be prepared."

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Martin Lawrence (1965) shares your birthday today. You approach life with a daring confidence. You're constantly eager for change because you hate to be bored! (This is why many of you travel, or choose jobs that have a variety.) You need lots of freedom. You have excellent powers of concentration. You're very alert and tuned in. A change might occur this year, as significant as something around 2001.
