Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will enjoy hanging out with friends, especially female acquaintances. Might have a heart-to-heart talk with someone. You’re eager to express your ideas because Mercury is in your sign. Nevertheless, don’t agree to anything important during the moon alert. (See above.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a tricky day. You are high visibility and people notice you. Nevertheless, there will be something about your engagement with others, especially bosses, parents and VIPs, that is unpredictable during the moon alert. Definitely, do not volunteer for anything during this time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re restless in part because you want a change of scenery. You want something stimulating to happen to make this day spectacular — somehow. You might get your wish because there is an unpredictable element to this day. Travel plans might be canceled or delayed during the moon alert. (Yikes!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your focus is on the wealth of others, inheritances and shared property; however, during the moon alert, don’t agree to anything important. Do not sign important papers. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment. Be smart.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be accommodating with friends and partners. Be ready to go more than halfway. This is a powerful time for you, so you can show some noblesse oblige to others. Nevertheless, during the moon alert, go with the flow and postpone important decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

No doubt you will notice your efficiency will suffer during the moon alert today. Just cope as best you can and carry on. However, postpone important decisions until tomorrow. Restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment. Having said that — a moon alert is a creative time.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a creative day for you! Those of you who work in the arts, the entertainment world, show business, the hospitality industry or anything to do with sports and working with children will be full of original ideas! Write them down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will enjoy puttering at home or cocooning by yourself because this is a fun, lazy day to hang out in familiar surroundings. You might have a heart-to-heart talk with a female relative. It will be hard to be productive during the moon alert — that’s how it is.
