How are you fixed

[Francois]

used to ask how much of something someone has, or to ask about someone's arrangements:
How are you fixed for cash?
How are you fixed for Saturday evening?

<Frank> How are ya fixed for moonlight ?
How are ya fixed for stars?
<Keely> How are you fixed for kissin' ?
While we listen to soft guitars?

How are you fixed? :
How are you placed?, as in "They're running a trip to the Panto on Tuesday - how are you fixed for going?"

Is it common? What did Frank mean by "...fixed for moonlight/stars" ?

How are you fixed for sthg is common enough.

Is it ok to ask someone "How are you fixed?" if it's obvious what we're talking about eg. he's counting money in front of me?

As long as it's obvious.

Veterinarians are a little sensitive about "fixed".

My vet has recommended it to me (of course I'm referring to my female dogs.)
