Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Sun moves out of your sign and into your sector of values and resources today, dear Aries. During this month-long cycle, you can be especially interested in securing or establishing yourself and making better use of what you have. It’s possible that when the Sun is forming challenging aspects in this area of your solar chart, you may be inclined to overdo, overspend, or obsess over your means and material things. Otherwise, it’s a good time to pace yourself. A slow and steady approach is appropriate now. Material affairs and comfort issues are in stronger focus during this cycle that lasts until May 20th. Today, you might solve a problem and make positive changes with long-lasting significance.Taurus
The Sun heads into your sign today, dear Taurus, and will stay in Taurus for the month ahead. This cycle emphasizes you, your personal needs, and plans. Generally speaking, it’s a time for seizing the day and shaping your life as you’d like it to be. You feel heard, noticed, and counted. This cycle brings you attention and offers you a chance to start anew. If you want to push your ideas, product, or personality, you’ll have better success at this time of year. It can also be a time of revitalization, particularly after the Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 30th. As this is the start of a new solar year for you, it’s a good idea to begin fresh with a positive attitude. You’re particularly noticeable, prouder, and more confident or coming across with more personal strength at this time. Today, you’re in a good position to identify your priorities, both on practical and emotional levels.Gemini
The Sun moves into your solar twelfth house today for a month-long stay, dear Gemini, launching a tidying up period of the year. It’s a time of increased focus on rest, relaxation, detoxing, and putting excess or outdated projects and situations behind you. You’re dealing with loose ends. Generally, it’s not the best time of the solar year to push yourself or your plans. This is a period of rest and physical and emotional replenishment. You might do some reflecting upon recent events, conditions, and feelings. Aim to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs more intimately. This process is necessary, and the better you handle things now, the lighter the load you’ll have when the Sun enters your sign on May 20th and you’re ready to present yourself to the world. Today is good for cultivating friendships and connecting soulfully.Cancer
Today’s transits are good for planning to make changes and improvements, mainly related to your life path or long-term objectives, dear Cancer.

You’re focused on new beginnings, projects, and ideas, and you can feel quite hopeful about where your life may be heading. If you’re feeling unsettled, it’s time to experiment with new ideas and plans or dream up new visions of where you’d like to go with your life. This transit brings a focus on social activities, teamwork, friendships, group connections, and the community. You more frequently and seriously consider what makes you happy and your involvement with others as you ease off pressures to perform or accomplish.Leo

This month-long cycle can be about coming to a more balanced state of being and larger perspective of what you need and want from your life.

You’re taking more pride in a partnership, or perhaps a partnership demands more attention than usual. You’re more willing than usual to adjust and adapt to the needs of key people in your life. Today, you’re in good shape for researching a job or health matter further. There can also be opportunities for meaningful contact with others.Sagittarius

Starting today and until May 20th, the Sun is transiting your sector of home and family, dear Aquarius. Mercury’s already in this area of your solar chart, and with the Sun here as well, the need for you to take a pause and center yourself is even stronger. It’s a good cycle for family activities, home improvement, and attending to your safety, security, and comfort needs. The focus is on your closest ties, foundation, or home life.

Getting to the heart of what you truly want and value seems to come naturally right now, making setting priorities much more straightforward.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
