Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Your need for some adventure or new experiences, however big or small, builds today, dear Aries, which seems to go nicely in hand with the recent entry of Venus into your sign. Your ideas are big, as well. This can be a good time for connecting with new and unusual people, expriences, and ideas. This can be a time for feeling a little more confident and comfortable in your own skin. You radiate good energy, and tend to attract positive attention and feedback as a result. You’re truly feeling that you’re making your own luck now.
Taurus
The Moon continues to highlight your need for others today, dear Taurus, even though your independent solar cycle just kicked off yesterday. The Moon heads into your solar eighth house in the second half of the day, and your need to observe and reflect is stronger than usual, as processing your feelings and recent events seems important now. Rather than pushing forward with new activities, take the time to explore what is on the inside. Allowing yourself to take a step back to reflect will lead to improved choices. This can be a time for seeing a new layer of a situation, perhaps even remembering a past matter differently, and it’s revealing. Popularity and privacy are strong themes in your life now, and today is no exception. It’s an excellent time for enjoying some level of solitude and privacy when you can manage it, as well as for becoming very cozy with your inner world. Ideally, you get to a wonderful place of greater understanding of your past and your deeper feelings about recent events.
Gemini
The need to support or entertain others is in the forefront today, dear Gemini. Your expectations from life may be higher than usual, but not so high that you’re gearing for a fall, and it makes sense to let this gentle curiousity and optimistic spirit guide the day.

This is a time for organizing your life in small but essential ways, with a focus on the details, and it’s a time when you thoroughly enjoy piecing things together. Others may bring pleasant surprises to your life. Still, there is something especially pleasurable about accomplishment today with the Moon in your work and health sector harmonzing with both Mercury and Venus is in your reputation and career sector. This may be because you feel good about getting things done or your responsibilitiies are reduced or more pleasant.

You are comfortable in your skin, and this endears you to others. As the day advances, you’re more inclined to want to make or build something than to innovate or pioneer. Your emotions steady out, and you’re inclined to focus on your physical and sensual needs more than usual. Use any downtime you can muster up to center yourself and savor the little things before your life speeds up again. Pleasant and fun communications may be part of the day.

With these planets here now, you’re in exceptional shape for enjoying people and projects in your life. It’s a time for finding your joy.

As you do so, your natural talents, strengths, and attractive qualities reveal themselves and people appreciate them more than usual.
Capricorn
Your emotional focus may be on friends, your community, a group, a cause, or a long-term plan in the first half of the day with the Moon in your solar eleventh house, dear Capricorn. By midday, you’ll do well to take a pause from your busy schedule and allow yourself to enjoy the moment. Or, if you need it, this can be a time to cocoon, rest, and reflect with the Moon’s move into your solar twelfth house. You can feel very much in need of calm. Both Mercury and Venus agree and are ready to support you today! Being a bit more self-protective with your feelings can be just fine and even useful now. Today is very strong for sharing fond memories and strengthening a relationship in the process. Forgiveness and compassion are themes in your interactions. Others tend to support your ideas and family can be especially appreciative.
Aquarius
The first half of the day is good for taking care of business, dear Aquarius. You’re in an improved position to assess value. As the day advances, you crave more recreation. In fact, there is friendly energy taking over today that helps ease some of the pressure you’ve been feeling. You’re likely to be more creative and at ease when it comes to expressing yourself, so let the creativity flow! You might feel more comfortable removing yourself from the action or intense situations, but you’re in certain need of intellectual companionship or stimulation, making light conversation an ideal choice now. With Venus now in your communications sector, you seem to know what to say at just the right moment. Others can be especially attracted to your ideas and style of communication. Instead of pushing for answers, Venus waits for them to come or asks for them nicely! During this cycle, you are especially curious about others and particularly interested in sharing your daily activities with a special friend. It’s a good time for enjoying studies and learning, although you might feel a little lazy when it comes to especially serious topics or tasks that require a lot of brainpower just for the time being.
Pisces
While the day begins somewhat scattered energetically for you, dear Pisces, it shapes up to be quite pleasant. You may be feeling some pressure, largely of the good kind, to take care of business, take the lead, and perform at your best. It’s a good time for cleaning up your act, so to speak, as you are a little more ambitious than usual. You may not have things handed to you today — you’re more likely to need to work for your rewards, but it can be quite satisfying doing so. Today’s energies are wonderful for appreciating the finer things in life, too. Intuition is strong for business ideas – the more creative ones.
