Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day because you want the freedom to do your own thing, especially at work. You would like to introduce new ways of doing things. However, most of this day is a moon alert, which means avoid important decisions. Be on guard.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a wonderful, playful day! Fun social activities occur in a spontaneous way. You might get a sudden invitation to a sports event or playful times with kids? Someone might suggest a date? Enjoy your day but restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You’re full of clever, original ideas about making changes at home. This might include new ways of relating to a family member? Stock the fridge because visitors will drop by. Something will change your home routine. Be aware that today is a moon alert — so avoid important decisions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

In a way, you have the mind of a genius today because you can think outside the box. This is why new ideas, new places and new people will pop up! It’s a fast-paced, exciting day; however, it’s a moon alert today. Restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and belongings because something unexpected will affect them. On the upside — you might find money. On the bad side — you might lose money. Likewise, protect your belongings from loss, theft or damage. Restrict spending to food, gas and entertainment during the moon alert.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might meet a real character today or have an unusual arrangement with someone or do something different with a friend. Your involvement with a group might also take a new direction. Nevertheless, whatever happens, postpone important decisions until tomorrow.
