Moon Alert: After 3:45 a.m. EDT today (12:45 a.m. PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in CANCER.

Happy birthday for Thursday, May 1, 2025: You’re observant, intuitive and nurturing. You rely on your instincts. You are also a realist. This is a year of service for you, perhaps service to family. Therefore, take good care of yourself because you are a resource. This could be a good time for a makeover.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Be aware that conversations with family members today, especially female relatives, might be confusing or subject to misinterpretation. Someone might need a sympathetic ear to talk to. Whatever happens, make sure you clarify what others want from you. Tonight: Home and family.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today you might be in a dreamy state of mind full of fanciful illusions, which seem more important than reality. Don’t worry if you spend time daydreaming or lost in a fantasy world. However, be aware that this is a poor day to make important decisions or embark on an important project. Tonight: Discussions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): It’s important to know that today the Moon is in your Money House, but it is challenged, which means your financial decisions might be unwise or based on hopes rather than reality. You can deal with this by simply postponing financial decisions and delaying major purchases. Be smart. Tonight: Check your money.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with several planets, which means you might feel more emotional than usual. And at the same time, you also might feel confused, especially in your dealings with parents, bosses and authority figures. Therefore, postpone important decisions. Tread carefully. Tonight: You win!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Cut yourself some slack today. Don’t worry if you feel self-doubt or you find yourself second-guessing your decisions. It’s just what’s happening. In fact, many others feel this way as well. Knowing this, you realize it’s a poor day for important decisions, especially about travel and legal matters. Tonight: Solitude.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might feel close to a friend today. Or perhaps you’ll admire someone in a club or an organization. Whatever the case, despite this warm fuzzy feeling, be careful about agreeing to anything, especially if it involves raising funds or sharing something or deciding about an inheritance. Tonight: Friendships.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Beware of the fact that you are high-viz today, which means people notice you more than usual. In fact, there’s a strong likelihood that some people will know personal details about your private life, for whatever reason. (Good to know in case you have to do some damage control.) Tonight: You’re strong.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today you want to run away and join the circus. You want to break free from routine, duties and responsibilities. If you can do something different, great. However, because an element of confusion is present, postpone important decisions. Tonight: Explore and learn.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might find yourself dealing with taxes, debt, shared property, insurance issues or inheritances — stuff like that. If this is the case, be careful, because an element of confusion is present. You might not have all the facts. Someone might even give you the wrong information. (Innocently or otherwise.) Tonight: Check your finances.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is a tricky day because in one way, you are best served by going more than with halfway when dealing with others. You need to cooperate. However, the tricky part is that communications are confused, especially with family members or home repairs. Be aware of this. Tonight: Cooperate.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today you might be interested in learning more about mystical information or supernatural phenomena. The unusual will intrigue you (which is actually not surprising). You’ll notice that your sensitivity to your immediate environment and your daily surroundings is finely tuned. Tonight: Get organized.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful, because although you might have some imaginative ideas today, especially about how to make money or find a new job, this is a very shaky day for financial decisions. Write down your clever ideas and review them tomorrow. Don’t go overboard shopping! Tonight: Socialize!
