Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
It’s best to avoid jumping to conclusions today, dear Aries, but there are powerful energies with you for observation and bright ideas. You tend to look at problems differently with the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sign today. You’ll surely arrive at interesting conclusions and insights as you take stock of recent events and draw upon the past for ideas. Your words have more impact than usual, and with Mercury still retrograde, you should take special care when communicating. Something that appears to go over swimmingly may end up a misunderstanding. For best results, aim to clear out the mental clutter to make room for positive thoughts and new ideas. Observations made now can lead to significant and long-term improvements. It can also be a time when you rethink a matter that has been weighing you down.Taurus
Today’s Sun-Mercury meeting occurs in the area of your solar chart that rules karma and all that is hidden or under wraps, dear Taurus. With this alignment, you can get meaningful insights into your innermost feelings, the past, or a long-term problem. You’re receiving interesting clues from your impressions and dreams. Ways to let go of bad attitudes or situations are more apparent with today’s transits. There could be a secret revealed or an epiphany that leads you to view old problems or a past matter in a very telling new light. The information you come across today can be significant for putting something behind you. Private time can be beneficial if you can manage it! At the same time, consider that while you’re at a turning point, Mercury is only partway through its retrograde cycle, and there is more to learn, process, and reveal as you advance.Gemini
You’re gathering valuable information now, dear Gemini, and it’s a great time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests or plans. Memories or surprise meetings can change your perspective. While this insight is still in its new and raw stages, it puts you on the road to new beginnings. The Sun meets with retrograde Mercury in the sector of social connections, dreams, and hopes of your solar chart. This alignment can stir critical thinking, news, or conversations, which in turn give you new insight into recent events, decisions, or problems. It can be illuminating! These revelations can relate to friends, projects, and relationships. Consider that, with current transits, you’re especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s communicated right now.Cancer
Transits today and this week prompt you to review recent ideas, projects, or decisions, dear Cancer, especially about business or longer-term plans and items. Ambitions, career, responsibilities, or reputation issues can be in focus with the Sun’s alignment to retrograde Mercury in your solar tenth house. It’s a turning point moment–you’re beginning to approach your direction and long-term goals in new ways that can be fruitful, leading to significant new ideas. Now is the time to get a sense of your next step or insight into particular directions you’ve been taking. Consider that your communications have more impact than usual, and with Mercury still retrograde, it’s best to be selective with your words, keeping in mind that misunderstandings are possible. Your observations today can be invaluable later, but it’s still not the best time for major decision-making.Leo
Matters related to education, transportation, beliefs, or publishing can be in stronger focus right now, dear Leo, and you can do much reviewing and analyzing. An opportunity can emerge to see things in new ways with the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sector of spirit and higher thought. Thoughts might turn to the past or recent decisions and plans, and your new take on a situation is helpful! The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring and enlightening. What you read and hear about today can be invaluable for future projects or inspire new thinking and ideas that have the power to stick with you for some time to come. Now can be a time to draw upon your experience and create something new from it or see new layers of a situation you previously overlooked.Virgo
You might gain a big clue or further information on a matter today, dear Virgo. Even so, it’s not yet time for a conclusion. For one, a Solar Eclipse just occurred, and for another, the Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury today, and the full story isn’t yet revealed. However, it’s a powerful time to observe. In truth, you can enjoy a new perspective on a matter today. The things you read and hear about this week can benefit future projects, even if you have yet to see their full significance. It can be a time to draw upon experience and create something new. Thoughts might turn to the past or recent decisions and plans, but you’re looking at things in a new light, which can be very helpful. The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring and entertaining. Ideally, you gain new insight into a past relationship or your own psyche. If you’re a little self-absorbed now, it may very well be a valuable exercise. It’s a time to let your thoughts flow, but perhaps be more mindful of what you say.Libra
You look at a relationship in new ways, or you see different layers of a person or situation, dear Libra. Instead, someone could help you see a whole new perspective on a matter, and it’s illuminating! This theme occurs as the Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury in your partnership sector. You’re unlikely to have all the answers now, but it’s a powerful time to see issues and people in a new light. Counseling or negotiating can be significant. You might open up conversations about the past since there is more consideration for both sides of a situation. The significance of your ideas or discussions today may not yet be clear, but they can lead to important conclusions or directions down the road. While you may need to watch what you say today, your thinking is particularly creative and inspiring to someone special.Scorpio
You’re learning much about what you’re getting from your work and daily routines or health routines these days, dear Scorpio, and news that points you in the right direction can arrive. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your work and health sector today, you approach problems from a different angle, which can be very helpful. This transit helps you see some of the details of your life you previously missed. You might gain meaningful insight into a work, chore, or health issue. Consider that ideas born now can have great significance later. You are the go-to person for help or information, and you enjoy this role today. It’s better to think about what you can do to improve and tweak current projects and ideas than to start all-new ones, but your thinking along these lines is creative. It’s a turning point of sorts, moving you from a state of indecision to increased clarity, although your path is not yet fully illuminated.Sagittarius
You might find new ways of getting your message across that are perhaps a little non-traditional but very satisfying today, dear Sagittarius. Your attitude about future growth and improvement is evolving as the Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury today. You’re coming across with a bit of mystery that works in your favor. Further information or an epiphany about a creative or romantic matter can figure strongly. Reviewing old ideas can lead to new methods that can be very important in the coming months. This might also involve new “old” opportunities, as someone from your past could reappear or a past issue might wrap up. Whether this happens in your thoughts or in the flesh, it’s helpful and serves a valuable purpose. Today’s conversations or ideas can serve as significant turning points, but you don’t yet have the full story.Capricorn
You’re well-positioned to make sense of a matter from the past or a family issue now, dear Capricorn, and coming up with creative solutions to problems can be satisfying. Gentle exploration is a good idea today as ideas arising through your conversations or thoughts and reminiscing can be significant, leading to new plans for a better future. It’s nevertheless best to observe, take notes, and muse rather than lock something down. Aim to be mindful of what you’re saying and let intuition engage. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury coming together in your solar fourth house, it’s a good day for releasing a problem through conversation with someone you trust. But while the Sun is pushing ahead in this sector of your chart, Mercury is on its way backward, and it makes sense to take in and observe but avoid jumping too far ahead of yourself.Aquarius
Ideas generated today, especially with learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings, can be significant, dear Aquarius. They could kickstart a long-term pursuit or lead you in an important new direction. While this can be a turning point, it’s probably best to postpone big launches until more information completes the picture. With today’s Sun-Mercury alignment, we’re in the middle of the retrograde Mercury cycle, and there can be more to an evolving story. For now, it’s a great time to observe, get a feel for a matter, and take notes. In fact, helpful conversations and musings are in the spotlight. You might revive an old interest or view a current one in a new light. Your advice to someone can be sought and appreciated, or you might discover a lost or overlooked detail that changes everything!Pisces
Today’s energies are powerful for observing and taking notes, dear Pisces. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sector of money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions, pay special attention to ideas coming in today and this week. They can be important! Whether they emerge from within or outside of you, something falls into place, and it can feel magical. It’s a time to see a matter in a new light, and benefits come from doing so. Not everything is likely to make sense, as is often the case with new beginnings, but what emerges from conversations and musings now can be significant later. Keep in mind that what you say today can be more memorable than usual, so be sure to choose your words carefully.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
