TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)

CANCER
(June 21-July 22)

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
After the Moon Alert today, the Moon will move into your sign, which will be empowering for you. However, it also will make you more excitable and emotional. Since you have the upper hand, do what you can to keep the peace. (You don’t like the stress of confrontation.) Tonight: Look for lost items.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
