Today’s horoscope

MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 6 p.m. The moon is in Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might find you identify with your possessions more than usual. In fact, this could be why you might be tempted to be a bit extravagant or go overboard buying something. This same sense of largesse might creep into your financial negotiations. Be aware of this.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a positive day for you because the moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with lucky Jupiter. Keep in mind you love antiques and beautiful things, and your financial judgement might be a bit off because of a tendency to be extravagant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a playful time for you, which is why you will enjoy social outings, vacations, sporting events, the arts and fun activities with kids. Basically, you want to enjoy yourself. Your positive communication style might attract others because enthusiasm is contagious.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be careful about going overboard with financial matters. You might spend too much. You might give away too much. This is because there’s an aspect of “excess” influencing your financial decisions. Remember: true generosity is giving what is needed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be aware you’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. (In fact, some people know personal details about your private life.) Others see you as confident but also as benevolent and compassionate. This is good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be attracted more than usual to philosophical ideas, religion and lofty topics that make you think more about life, how things are and how things should be. You might examine other people’s attitudes to politics and religion. (You’re the most observant sign in the zodiac.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are a people-oriented sign; and now you feel generous to friends and members of groups. In fact, if making a decision about how to share something or divide an inheritance, make sure to protect your own self-interest and not give away the farm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is an excellent day for you to shop for wardrobe goodies, but please be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert (see above). Whether shopping or in discussions with partners and close friends — guard against going overboard. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. If shopping, keep your receipts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Work-related travel might happen for many of you. Whatever you do, whether it’s with your work, health or dealing with a pet — you’ll be inclined to think big and be extravagant. However, you will also want to be benevolent, which is a good thing. Always seek the highest good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This a wonderful, fun-loving day for you. Enjoy socializing, partying and the arts, especially the theatre, movies and galleries. Sporting events and playful times with children will please you. Romance is blessed. This is also a good day for financial speculation if you’re aware of the moon alert.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your interactions with others will be friendly and mutually rewarding because people are openhearted and generous. These pleasant interactions will take place with partners, close friends and relatives, as well as members of the general public.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t bite off more than you can chew, especially in discussions with others and in making promises or commitments. That’s because you feel confident, enthusiastic and ready to grab the world by the tail.
