MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for important family discussions. These might include talking about the division of labour or how to share expenses. Someone older, perhaps a parent, will have some input. Basically, you’re looking for ways to make things run more smoothly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your focus will be on learning practical matters and finding practical solutions to problems. You might hear some excellent advice from someone older or more experienced. Focus on mental work because you won’t overlook details.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You might have some solid, practical, moneymaking ideas. Likewise, if you are shopping, you will only want to buy long-lasting, practical items. This is because you are in a sensible frame of mind and you don’t want to waste money. That’s smart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn, which will help you to accept whatever duties and responsibilities you have. You’re willing to work and do what others expect of you. In fact, you’re willing to forgo pleasure for time-saving, practical results. Smart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is an excellent day to research or study something, especially if you have to look behind the scenes for answers to problems. You will have the tenacity and perseverance necessary to do this. Furthermore, you won’t overlook details. You’ll be like a dog with a bone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A discussion with someone older or more experienced will benefit you because it’s very likely this person will have practical advice for you. This person could be a friend or a member of a group or organization. (It never hurts to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures (including the police) will be serious; however, there’s a good chance these discussions will benefit you. You might see practical solutions or better ways of doing something. You might even revise your goals or modify your life direction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have the ability to pay attention to detail and wade into the challenges of making or changing travel plans or learning something philosophical, perhaps related to legal or medical matters. You’ll stick with the topic until you understand it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day for serious discussions about shared property, inheritances and how to divide or share something with someone else. You might want to know the facts about someone else’s wealth or their contribution to something. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to financial matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, which will require a little patience and tolerance on your part. However, you can do this, especially if others are observing your behaviour. (You like to look respectable.) Be gracious and charming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You can get a lot done at work because you will tackle mental problems with a practical frame of mind. For example, you will do your homework. You’ll read the small print. You’ll take things slowly and carefully so you do it correctly. “Measure twice; cut once.”
