Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions, from 6:45 AM until 10:30 AM EDT today. After that, the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a perfect Saturday. You're keen to explore new ideas, see new faces and visit new places. (This will happen!) Well, you have to get out of bed and get dressed, (although there are exceptions to every rule). Take a whole fresh attitude to today. Do something different!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You feel restless today because something seems to be uncertain about your cash flow or matters related to your possessions. Things are unsure. The upside is, you might suddenly discover something you never saw before or you might buy something new and unusual. The downside is - whatever.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You're full of energy today! You want your life to expand in some new, exciting way. You want to meet new people and discover new things. Quite likely, you will meet someone different, especially in a group setting. This person will be impossibly exotic -- or just wacky. Not a boring day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even if you want to cocoon at home and relax, you will find this difficult to do because the world will reach into your space and grab you by the throat. Or you might go out and discover all kinds of interesting things going on all around you. Expect the unexpected.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today, you might cross paths with someone unusual who ignites ideas within you to travel and explore new places. Exotic destinations with foreign languages and frightening food might beckon. You might even check out plane flights. "I can do this!" It's healthy to shake things up a little now and then, isn't it?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Someone in a position of authority might view you as being eccentric or different today. Or you might just shock them in some way. Alternatively, someone in a position of authority might surprise you. ("Mom! You're going to marry her?")

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Unexpected opportunities to travel or get further education or training or take a class might fall in your lap today. If this happens, you will have to act quickly because your window of opportunity is brief. Not only will you have to act quickly, you'll have to be gutsy as well.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Surprise gifts, goodies and outright cash might benefit you today. Keep your pockets open. The wealth of others will somehow come to you in an unexpected way. You might get an offer to use something that someone else owns. It could be anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Partners and close friends are full of surprises today. Someone might want more freedom or more independence in a relationship. (That someone might be you.) Or you might meet someone new who is bizarre or unorthodox in some way. It's an interesting day!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your work routine will not unfold as usual. Interruptions, delays and possibly computer or technology hitches are likely. Staff shortages or new staff will put a new spin on things. Surprise news related to your health or small pets might also catch you off guard.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Unexpected flirtations will make your day. (Eyes across a crowded room and all that.) Surprise invitations or exciting entertaining diversions could make this a memorable time. Explore whatever is new. Accept all invitations. However, parents should keep an eye on their children today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Stock the fridge because something unusual is going to happen at home. Surprise company might drop by. (Could be the whole fam damily.) Guard against minor breakages. Small appliances might also break down. (Grrr.) Nevertheless, this can be an interesting, upbeat and different day.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Playwright/poet/novelist Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) shares your birthday today. You have a marvelous mind and a way with words. And you like to be provocative! Many of you are well-read and knowledgeable and you are certainly wonderful conversationalists. However, you can be controversial. (Which rarely bothers you because you are secretly outrageous.) In the year ahead, an important choice will present itself to you. Choose wisely.
