Daily Horoscope: Wednesday, May 23, 2012

Moon Alert After 7:40 a.m. EDT today, we have the "all clear" to shop (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Cancer. Aries (March 21-April 19) Don't trust anything today, even your own thoughts. Allow for all kinds of delays and little snafus. Your ability to concentrate will be interrupted or weakened by fantasies and daydreams plus interruptions and minor accidents. If things go wrong, don't blow up at others. Be cool. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Holy Lettuce! Keep an eye on your money today. If shopping, keep your receipts and count your change. This is a poor day for financial negotiations. Deception and misinformation are rampant. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. It's a squirrely day! Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might feel tired today or unfairly treated. Whatever you do is two steps forward, one step back, or worse - one step forward and two steps back! Partly this is because your thinking is foggy, but it's also because there's a lot of static out there getting in your way. Cancer (June 21-July 22) This is the kind of day where you cannot trust your gut instincts. You might think you know what's happening or you might want to second guess - but you cannot trust your impulses. Things are not as they appear, which is why some people are frustrated! Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Avoid blowups with others in group situations today because misunderstandings are rampant. Somebody could overreact because someone thinks they've been hoodwinked or they have misinformation or omissions. Don't trust your plans today. Just coast. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This is not a good day for important discussions with authority figures. Both sides of the discussion will not fully understand what the other side wants. Too much confusion. In addition, people are not necessarily playing fair. Yup. Right here in River City. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Avoid touchy subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today. People will have emotional reactions to being misled or fed biased information. In turn, their frustration will vent on someone. Just make sure you're not in the line of fire. (Duck!) Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Do be careful because misinformation and confusion could cost you money today. Double-check anything to do with debt, taxes, shared property, insurance matters and inheritances. Something is obscuring the real facts from you. Be alert to this. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends are going to be circular, confusing and frustrating. This doesn't have to be a big deal if you keep things light. But if you discuss anything where you have something at stake, you might end up yelling. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Double-check all your work on the job today. Take nothing for granted even if you think the source of information is trustworthy. Lots of glitches and misinformation are possible today and, in turn, this creates frustration with others who will want to vent their anger. Yikes. (Wanna go for coffee?) Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) This is a poor day for speculation, gambling or taking a chance. It's easy to kid yourself or be deceived. This is also a confusing day for romantic partners and parents who are dealing with their kids. (Make sure you know where your kids are and what they're up to.) "Whaaat?" Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Postpone important family discussions for another day. It's too easy to get your wires crossed today. Misunderstandings are rampant. People feel too intellectually lazy to pursue the truth. Also all kinds of interruptions will sabotage your focus on anything.
