Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. EDT today. After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might feel aggressive about financial matters today. If you're haggling over the price of anything, you will probably win the battle, but you might lose the war. More likely, you will have disputes with others (especially your kids) about money or something you own. Lighten up, fierce warrior that thou art.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today, the Sun in your sign makes a harsh aspect to Mars. This makes it very easy to have conflicts with family members, or with anything to do with your home and domestic situation. (This also applies to real estate deals.) Don't blow your cool because you will only regret this later. Definitely.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You feel disgruntled today, which makes you easily impatient with others. You might know the reason for this, or you might not, because this could be occurring at a subconscious level. Patience with others is your only recourse, if you don't want things to get worse. (Who wants that?)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Squabbles about money, salaries, or possessions could arise today. On one hand, you might be right. On the other hand (you wear different rings) there could be a competition between you and others for money, or for a particular prize or possession. Is this aggression really necessary?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Conflict with authority figures (bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs, or the police) can arise easily today. You need this like you need another hole in your head. Steer clear of problems with people who can create more problems for you. Like duh?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid arguments about racial issues, religion, and racial issues today. In the same vein (different arm) disputes about matters with publishing, the media, the law, higher education, and medicine might take place. Will any of this prove anything? Or is this just a chance to rant?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Disputes about shared property, taxes, debt, insurance matters, and inheritances might arise today, especially with groups. This won't be pretty. Try to look for a win/win solution. Try to make your success the success of others, or vice versa.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a poor day to bring up anything important with authority figures (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs, or the police). Just don't do it. Wait a few days. The odds that you will have annoying conflicts with others are too high today because people are competitive and pushy. (Not you, of course.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

People at work might be irritable today. Someone might challenge your words or your position on something. Fierce debates could arise about publishing, foreign countries, higher education, the media, plus politics and religion. (Oh, what fun.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Fights about sports, or about financial speculation, or even children, shared property, and inheritances might break out today. You can avoid these by refusing to get involved. Just don't take the bait. If you must, watch from the sidelines and place bets.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Use all the diplomacy you can summon up today when dealing with partners and close friends. A falling out is so easy! Just avoid these nasty conversations. Furthermore, remind yourself how important friendships and close relationships are to you. Keep things in perspective.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Squabbles with siblings, daily contacts, and coworkers can easily break out today. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) The curious thing is that most squabbles are actually misunderstandings. But it's so hard to put yourself in somebody else's wedgies, isn't it? And of course, vice versa. Don't tempt the fates. Avoid touchy discussions today.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Musician Randy Travis (1959) shares your birthday today. Being compassionate, caring, and warmhearted to others comes naturally to you. You also have an easy charm and grace that appeals to everyone. You're a natural teacher, and you enjoy sharing information with others. You always think carefully before you act. You appear calm and easy-going, but you are steel willed and strong! An important choice awaits you this year. Choose wisely.
