Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Gemini.

Happy Birthday for Thursday, March 6, 2025:

You aspire for excellence and are tenacious about going after your goals. You are sensitive. You appreciate the arts. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time for a reality check. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★★
Tread carefully and be ready to rethink your ideas or a proposal to someone. Don’t jump at the first thing or be too quick to agree. And don’t bite off more than you can chew. (You can be impetuous.) Today it’s better to be more cautious and take it easy. Tonight: Cooperate.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
When shopping today or discussing financial negotiations, you’ll feel optimistic, and yet at the same time you might have second thoughts. Admittedly, two opposing influences are at play. To be safe, be conservative. An older friend or a member of a group might have advice. Hmmm. Tonight: Save your money.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a bit of luck — an edge over all the other signs. Good! Furthermore, the Moon is close to lucky Jupiter! Even better. But it’s also at odds with Saturn, which is a complication. Yes, what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. Therefore, don’t push your luck. Tonight: You’re strong.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues. They might be depressing. (Don’t even go there.) However, fiery Mars is in your sign, moving forward with energy and purpose, and this will boost your confidence. Do what you can. Tonight: Solitude.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Relations with friends and members of groups are hit and miss today. You might enjoy popularity and relaxing good times with them. On the other hand (you have different rings), someone might be critical of you or take financial advantage of you. That’s no fun. Be careful. Tonight: Advice?

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
You’re high-viz today, which means people notice you more than usual. Do be aware of this. Who wants a public argument? I mention this because a public argument is in the realm of possibility since dealings with partners, spouses and close friends could be abrasive. Step lightly. Tonight: Show respect.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
Steer clear of work-related disputes today or controversies related to politics, religion, foreign countries or travel. These conflicts might easily arise, no question. However, you don’t have to take the bait. (You know this.) Nevertheless, being a skilled debater, you might. (Sigh, really?) Tonight: Explore!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Arguments about shared property or the shared cost of a social occasion or something to do with sports or the maintenance and education of your kids might arise today. In one way, you feel optimistic about things, but in another way, you don’t. Take it easy. Tonight: Check your finances.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Disagreements with family members, especially parents or older relatives, might take place today. Or you might have challenges talking to a spouse or a partner. This is because people are inclined to be critical and judgmental today. (Grrr.) Don’t be one of them. Tonight: Courtesy.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
You might fall into worry mode today, which is easy to do, because in one way, things look optimistic. But in another way, they don’t. Remember the old adage about worry: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Tonight: Work.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
Be conservative when it comes to spending money today or making financial choices. You’ll be happier later if you give everything a sober, second thought. Something might look better than it is. Either way, this is a poor day to go overboard in any way. Play it safe. Tonight: Socialize.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Family conversations will be important to you today. Listen and be as optimistic as you can, even if someone is hanging black crepe paper everywhere. This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Tonight: Relax.
