Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Thinking is sometimes foggy these days, dear Aries, but creatively speaking, you’re coming up with all sorts of ideas. Today is strong for conversations and expressing yourself about a matter you previously kept to yourself. Alternatively, you might remember further details about a matter that gives you a nice new perspective. You can come to a more workable solution to relationship problems or simply share some insights and opinions with someone that strengthens your bond. You don’t have to agree on every point right now; in fact, you’re in a state of mind that enjoys the differences. Others might turn to you for your personal wisdom, for which you are earning much respect. It’s a good time to set priorities and enjoy simple things. It’s not a time for pushing or reaching beyond boundaries, but you’re in great shape to emotionally prepare for more demanding days.Taurus
This can be a strong day for solving problems or talking about a personal matter to someone, dear Taurus. People tend to be quite open to learning from others and finding solutions about the past rather than harping or dwelling on it. Sometimes, the truth does hurt, or it stings, but any truths uncovered today tend to quickly lead to a feeling of empowerment and can even be quite cathartic. This is a good time to accept things for what they are and, especially, people for who they are. While generally speaking, with Mercury still retrograde, it’s best to avoid hard and fast decision-making, the Moon in your communications sector most of today stirs a desire to communicate, connect, and collect information. It connects harmoniously with Uranus in your sign, suggesting you’re received well.Gemini
There can be a purging moment through conversation or the written word today, dear Gemini, and at least for now, it helps clear the air. It may feel uncomfortable just for a moment, as purging matters often can be. Reconnecting emotionally with someone can more easily happen now. Romantically speaking, this can be an unusually intuitive and possibly even magical time for increased understanding and empathy. Friends and love interests can be supportive and a source of joy. With Mercury still retrograde, there can be some fuzziness with facts or there can be more to a story that will reveal itself later. However, you’re in good form for creative ideas and instincts with money. You may only need to refine them at a later date. You’re more inclined to stick with the familiar than to venture out looking for new experiences, and emotions are easier to tuck away.Cancer
You could feel a stronger sense of personal purpose through the support and backing of others today, dear Cancer. You’re learning much about yourself, your goals, and your place in the world through listening and observing. At the same time, others find your insights, particularly about past matters, highly unique and valuable. You may be the go-to person right now. The Moon spends much of today engaging your emotions full-on. Its harmony with Uranus in your friendship sector further aids expression, especially spontaneously through socializing. There is a stronger need for self-nurturing, which shouldn’t be dismissed, but also good channels for expressing yourself through sharing, dreaming, and connecting with others.Leo
Conversation topics tend to run deep in a growth-oriented, positive way, dear Leo, although it might not immediately feel that way. You might get to open up a conversation about more sensitive topics or bond with someone as a result. You’re more inclined to contribute than listen right now, which is not always your style, but your contributions are likely to be assets. The Moon spends a good part of today in your privacy sector, drawing your attention to background matters. It’s a time of the lunar month to take some of the pressure off your life to regroup. Later today, the Moon’s move into your sign can bring you out of your protective shell, seeking more connection.Virgo
You might quickly and effectively arrive at a solution to a difficult problem today, dear Virgo, and others appreciate your ideas. Problem-solving skills are above par, as you can see both the larger picture and the details. As well, deeper insight into others’ behavior and possibly into your own can come now. Normally taboo topics may be approached with greater sensitivity and understanding. It’s a time for breaking through the normal limitations and barriers, but do tread lightly, because while Mercury is aligned with insightful, healing Chiron, it’s also still retrograde. Be sure to check in with others to see if they are truly getting what you are meaning/saying. Still, it’s one of the better days for casually communicating in this retrograde Mercury cycle. You crave some recreation or inspiration today.Libra
This can be a strong time to open up a conversation about an old issue or simply to bond with someone special, dear Libra. Even if, at first, uncomfortable truths emerge, you have a sense that you’re moving forward and can handle it. It’s also a fine time to repair relationship problems or to boost others’ faith in you, if needed. However, be patient, as rewards may not be immediate. You can be enormously effective today, as your inner courage is strong and you feel passionate about most everything you do right now. You might completely revise or renew something now. Draw upon your creative power and use it to make important changes. At the same time, you can accomplish a great deal on practical levels. You might be able to draw upon experience or uncover hidden information that furthers your objectives.Scorpio
This is a good day for sorting out problems and intellectual stimulation, dear Scorpio, especially for practical matters. Others tend to listen to what you have to say now. Work is sure to benefit. Aim to reorganize or sort through something that requires clever or creative thinking. Keep an open mind, even if others seem to be going over the same old topics – you can look at old problems with fresh eyes right now. You gravitate to ideas and people who are unique or distinct. This can be a good time for sharing ideas and visions with a friend. Generally speaking, with Mercury retrograde, it’s not the ideal time to expect to know all the details, facts, or figures, but it is a fine time to connect with a different perspective on your life.Sagittarius
You might be filled with creative ideas and enthusiasm today, dear Sagittarius, and your openness with others helps them to open up in turn. People more readily listen to you and give you food for thought through their feedback. Your ability to truly “hear” others today means you can give them more objective and considerate responses. You seem to know what it takes to put others at ease right now, and you feel especially free to express yourself. Insight into a romantic relationship can be in the spotlight, and although it may not be exactly as you had expected, honesty helps you to feel good about moving forward. If someone wants to rehash old topics, let them, because this can be an especially useful process right now.Capricorn
It’s a favorable time to connect with someone and feel you are growing in a relationship, dear Capricorn. Putting your faith in a person will not only boost their confidence, but will also boost the friendship and encourage that person to live up to your faith. Communication comes easily right now, and you can get your message across without disclaimers. Sharing something personal or private can be rewarding. Still, Mercury is still retrograde, and there can be more to a story than meets the eye today. Further details might emerge later, but today’s perspective remains valuable. You might also be weighing pros and cons, or adjusting areas of your life that have fallen out of balance. You may be in the position to strike a compromise.Aquarius
It’s all in the way you communicate today, dear Aquarius. You are not only extra sharp and perceptive but also more willing to listen, understand, and help, helping you cement a bond or boost a friendship. You can give some good advice. You’ll find that others are thinking and responding rather than reacting, allowing for a smoother conversation flow. Emotionally, you’re especially Zen–able to enjoy the moments. Mercury is retrograde, which does mean there can be some hiccups with instructions and directions. Not everything is going over perfectly, but today’s energies help with your interactions, as the nuances are getting their due attention, and people are giving you the benefit of the doubt.Pisces
New insight into your finances or a practical problem can come today, dear Pisces, perhaps due to a challenge or a disillusionment. You might also receive good advice, so keep your ears open. Keep in mind that the day’s energies favor long-term planning and broad ideas rather than attention to detail. However, this kind of thinking is helpful for rounding out your perspective on a matter. You’re also paying more attention to the things you love today. Energy flows particularly well for relationships and creative pursuits, as well as for all things mental and communicative. A relationship can expand as you share your ideas.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
