Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions until 4:30 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

There’s a strong probability that you will hear from relatives you haven’t been in touch with for a while. That’s because Mercury retrograde slips back into the part of your chart that symbolizes home, family and real estate. And so it goes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a charming day to schmooze! However, do allow extra time for whatever you do because delays, especially due to transportation and car problems, are likely. Check with the moon alert if you’re planning to spend money on anything other than food and gas.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Many of you have been able to boost your earnings recently. Likewise, many of you want to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert before you part with your hard-earned cash. However, this weekend is a go!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Retrograde Mercury slips back from Leo into your sign, which will increase your frustration with silly errors, goofy mistakes and travel delays. It will also enhance the likelihood that you will encounter ex-partners and old friends from the past.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Despite the frustrations of Mercury retrograde having been in your sign, you are full of lots of energy because fiery Mars is in Leo. This is a boon for you! In fact, this advantage will last until mid August — so use it! Get as much done as you can.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be accommodating with others because at some point in the afternoon, the moon will move opposite your sign. (See moon alert above.) When this happens, it means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Easy peasy. Enjoy schmoozing this evening.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a pleasant, sociable day for your sign! Have a long lunch with someone. Meet friends for happy hour. However, postpone shopping and big decisions until the moon alert is over. (See above.) You might also encounter parents, supervisors and bosses from your past.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a playful Friday! Enjoy schmoozing. Likewise, you might interact with family members more than usual, especially females. Perhaps you want to entertain at home or accept invitations that come your way? You can also expect to hear from people from far way from your past.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Although today begins in a low key way (which makes you want to cocoon at home); after the moon changes signs, (see moon alert above) you want to go out and schmooze! Keep your pockets open because someone who owes you money might pay up. Bonus!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Ex-partners and old friends are back in your world now because today, Mercury retrograde moves opposite your sign. This is a busy, fast-paced day full of short trips and visits with others. If spending money, be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert — see above.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today begins with the moon in one of your money houses, which will encourage you to spend money. However, don’t do it. See the restrictions of the moon alert above. After the moon changes signs, it’s all systems go for you — and for the weekend ahead!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today begins in a loosey-goosey way; however it’s a fun-loving, creative day for you! Enjoy parties, social occasions, the arts, sports events and romantic dates. After the moon changes to your sign (see moon alert above), you will be empowered!
