Moon alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today Mercury and Neptune are lined up in Aries, which enhances your ability to communicate to others. This is why you will speak with originality and greater subtlety today. This is an excellent influence for any kind of artistic expression. Remember: You are the artisan of the zodiac.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Tread carefully today because you’re more curious about mysterious subjects like the occult or spiritual philosophies because your imagination is heightened. This might introduce new areas to you, or it might create an element of confused thinking. Postpone important decisions for another day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a tricky day because Mercury is lined up with fuzzy Neptune, which can make you admire and idealize a friend or be inspired with a group or an organization, especially if it’s charitable. Your common sense might be skewed, or you might put a friend up on a pedestal. Caution.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Be careful about conversations with authority figures today (parent, boss, teacher, VIP or the police). Because Mercury is lined up with Neptune today, your idealism and expectations are heightened. Others might not grasp where you’re coming from. They might question your judgment.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today your ability to appreciate beauty is heightened, which is why this is an excellent day to visit museums, art galleries, beautiful buildings and pristine parks. Give yourself a chance to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings as well as the artistic creations of others. Appreciation is a healthy state of mind.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
When it comes to decisions about how to divide something like an inheritance or jointly owned property, give things a sober second thought today. Confused thinking might tempt you to give away the farm or weaken your confidence to defend your best interests.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You appreciate beauty because more than other signs, you’re affected by your immediate surroundings. You like pleasing harmony. Today discussions with partners and close friends might include the appreciation of beauty. Nevertheless, postpone important decisions for another day.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today you might see ways to introduce creative ways of doing something at work. You might also feel sympathetic to a co-worker and be willing to listen to their concerns or help them in some way. Note: This is a poor day for financial or legal negotiations. Be suspicious of “way-out” ideas you might have today.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today your ability to deal with creative projects is superb. You will express yourself with sensitivity and subtlety. You will see original, fresh ways of doing things. It’s a fantastic day for artists and all creative activity. It’s also a meaningful day to deal with the needs of children.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Family discussions will go well today because people feel mutually sympathetic with each other. (It’s easy to see what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s wedgies.) Admittedly, there is room for confusion and over idealism. Bottom line: Be generous.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today you’ll express your ideas in a way that you usually cannot because your spidey sense is heightened, along with your artistic appreciation of your daily surroundings. Be careful of falling prey to illusions. Enjoy your heightened imagination, but don’t do anything you will later regret.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Although this is a wonderful day for creative expression and working in the arts — and having sympathetic discussions with others — it’s a poor day for important financial decisions or important, practical negotiations. Caution against spending too much money on luxury and art or rescuing someone else.
