Moon alert
Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 6 to 7 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Leo into Virgo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you might have to work for the benefit of someone else, perhaps providing a service for them or helping them. You might also be interested in your own health concerns or more involved than usual with a pet. Wrap up old business before the New Year of the Horse tomorrow.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Because tomorrow is the beginning of the Chinese New Year (and the Tibetan New Year), pay your bills, do your laundry and clean your home as much as possible so that you start tomorrow in tiptop shape — as you welcome your new year ahead.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’re high-viz this week, which means people notice you more than usual. Fortunately, they see you as attractive and capable — even if you don’t do anything different. You might want to relax at home and take care of family business.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today you’re interested in exploring new ideas and travel, and you’re equally eager to talk to someone and share your views. The key is to find someone who will listen to you with genuine interest. Eh wot?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You have money on your mind today. You might be dramatic, flamboyant and entertaining, but you’re cautious about practical matters. After all, someone has to pick up the tab, right?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it can also boost your good fortune and make you a bit luckier than the other signs, which is why this is the day to go after what you want! Just ask, and see what happens.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This can be a productive day for you because you have the energy and the mental discipline to work and get things done. However, you might prefer to be low-key or work alone. Be smart and get as much done as possible before the Year of the Horse begins tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a playful, fun-loving day! Accept invitations to socialize with others, and enjoy sporting events or fun activities with kids. Your interactions with a friend or a member of a group (probably a female) will be enjoyable. Share your dreams for the future with someone.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It might be important to be aware that some people know personal details about your life today because you’re in the limelight (whether you know it or not). Does this mean you have to do some damage control? Focus on keeping the peace with family. You might want to entertain.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Because you have an urge for adventure today, do something to break free of your daily routine. Make a change. Go somewhere different. Travel if possible. If you can’t travel, visit a new store, a new restaurant or talk to someone unusual. “Hi, Darth.”
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Money, cash flow, earnings, inheritances, taxes and debt are your focus today. Because tomorrow is the new Year of the Horse, today is the perfect day to wrap up financial matters so you can start your new year “clean” and, hopefully, free of debt.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today you are best served by going more than halfway when dealing with others, especially spouses, partners and close friends. This is not a big deal. It simply means you must be patient and accommodating. You can do this.
If today is your birthday
Musician Chris Martin (1977) shares your birthday. You’re a compassionate visionary who is intuitive and passionate about social issues. You crave security and unconditional love. This is a year of service for you, probably service to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource for those who look to you for guidance, courage, and comfort.
