After 9 a.m., skip shopping beyond food and gas, and park any important decision until tomorrow. > Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9 a.m. ## Libra hands off to Scorpio The moon leaves Libra and slides into Scorpio after that 9 a.m. mark, which is why the day's mood shifts from agreeable to intense. ## Aries meets a character Talks with partners, spouses and close friends turn exciting and unpredictable. Someone you know may do something that genuinely surprises you. > You might also meet a real character today ## Taurus, watch the pet This is an accident-prone stretch for your animals, so stay vigilant. Energy is high and playful otherwise. Note your good ideas, start nothing until tomorrow. ## Gemini is in flow Creative ideas and spontaneous energy arrive together, along with surprise invitations. Social plans can flip fast. Guard against sports accidents and watch the kids. > You are in touch with your muse today ## Cancer gets interrupted Expect a wrinkle at home: a small appliance quitting, a minor breakage, or someone unexpected at the door. Get dressed and stay light on your feet. ## Leo thinks sideways Original, imaginative ideas show up and your daily routine shifts with them. New places, new faces. Mind what you say and do so nothing goes wrong. > Today you're thinking outside the box ## Virgo guards the wallet Keep an eye on money and possessions against loss, theft or damage. With the moon alert stacked on an unpredictable day, hold spending to food and gas. ## Libra's mind is lit up Mercury in your sign dances with Uranus, so you feel alert and alive. Old problems may crack open. Sudden travel is possible. Still, delay shopping and decisions. > new ideas are firing in your mind ## Scorpio is in demand Venus in your sign makes you charming and diplomatic, and people want to see you. You also feel restless, so plans and opinions may change mid-stride. > This is a popular time for you. ## Sagittarius and Capricorn, brace A plan with a friend or group may be canceled or kicked off out of nowhere. For Capricorn, a boss, parent, teacher or the police may catch you off guard. ## Aquarius, agree to nothing Ideas fly and talk about politics, religion and race turns erratic. Commit to nothing important while the moon alert holds. You can still get real work done. > Ideas are flying through the air today! ## Pisces, check the accounts Something unexpected could hit your assets through banking or shared property. Postpone big spending, then enjoy the socializing, travel and unusual romance. > Romance with someone "different" is likely. ## Born today: Jean Smart You share the day with the actress, born 1951: self-sufficient, determined, good-humored. Exciting changes bring more personal freedom this year, so stay flexible. > Let go of whatever impedes your progress. ## Key takeaway Today rewards flexibility, not commitment. Write the idea down, enjoy the surprise, and sign nothing until tomorrow.
