Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Today’s transits encourage your confidence in managing problems or dealing with stressful situations, dear Aries. You’re confident and ready to take on a challenge! Ideas about money or business are uniquely innovative. It’s a time to be proactive with practical matters. Today should be busy and stimulating, and a low boredom threshold can actually work in your favor, leading you to fun or even breakthrough discoveries. There can be a feeling of wanting to make your own good luck. It’s an excellent time for uplifting, forward-looking, and inspired connections and methods. Even so, this is a time when you are not quite as willing to share your thoughts and plans, that is, until you come more in touch with them yourself. Intuition runs high right now, making it a good time for original methods and taking actions that free you from hindrances and problems.Taurus
New ideas and alternative methods can be inspiring now, dear Taurus. You can feel invigorated by a challenge and excited about a new or renewed project. Problem-solving is excellent, and confidence-boosting situations emerge. Fortunately, you’re ready to rise to a challenge, and you’re on top of your game. It can be a standout day for personal initiatives, working with a team, connecting with friends, or career matters. You need to “own” the path you take, and the best way to do that is to get in touch with where you truly want to go, without the distractions of other people’s agendas and opinions. Energy and confidence are with you today, and you can be a particularly valuable member of a team or group, or you can work independently just as easily. You are cooperative yet also quite willing to take the lead.Gemini
You can experience a creative rush, dear Gemini, and you might channel some of the spirited energy you’re experiencing now into a special project as you process your emotions. You enjoy a challenge or intuitively understand that challenges are sometimes necessary in order to pull you out of ruts. There can be a sense that you can take on a lot on a professional level, or breakthrough thinking that stimulates your ambition and enthusiasm. Something you’ve done in the past can be rewarded or recognized now. A progressive, tolerant, forward-looking spirit will help you achieve your goals more efficiently now. You want to do something out of the ordinary, and by thinking outside the box, you gain benefits. It’s a time of opportunity, and you possess special enterprise that allows you to capitalize on an opportunity. It’s a good time to stick your neck out and do something a little differently.Cancer
Today’s transits boost your confidence and mood, dear Cancer. They’re particularly excellent for friendships, studies, and invigorating experiences. You might be hungry for more knowledge, experience, or variety in your life. Certain news or experiences can be inspiring and motivating. Shared activities can be especially fun or productive. There can be particular enjoyment of reading, learning, or studying, and your desire to be free comes to the surface, highlighting your inventive side. You’re cooperative with others, but you’d prefer not to have anyone slow you down — you need to follow your own internal rhythm. However, it’s a better time for group initiatives than it is for personal efforts, so do whatever you can to share your knowledge, expertise, or simply your time with others. Your unique vision or opinions help you to stand out from the crowd right now. There can be excellent opportunities to share and connect, and this can also be a great time for new initiatives or plans for publishing a work, teaching, or learning. A chance to catch up with an old friend is possible now.Leo
Good energy is with you for setting things right with money, dear Leo. You are projecting your value and worth in favorable ways to those in authority or with associates. This can be a fabulous time for personal appeal and matters of the heart, if you allow yourself to enjoy the good vibes. In fact, there’s a “can do” feel to the day–you’re ready to solve problems and move forward. At the same time, if you need some backing, you’re likely to get it. Not only are you attracting positive attention, but you’re also inspiring trust. It’s an excellent day for being productive. Wiling away the day won’t leave you feeling satisfied, so apply yourself to a special project or make plans for something that you haven’t had time for in the past. Non-traditional methods and attitudes work best for you now. You have a spirit for advancement and excitement about the future.Virgo
Today and tomorrow’s energies are forward-looking, dear Virgo. Today’s Mars aspects boost your confidence in having all the tools you need to improve your life. You’re optimistic and see all kinds of opportunities and possibilities. Focusing on positive, productive tasks helps you take advantage of the day’s energies that support new thinking, creative enterprise, and collaboration. You are courageous and forthright. People gravitate to you, and partner or group work can thrive. You’ll find that others are unusually cooperative and looking forward rather than getting stuck in a groove. Common goals and philosophies are apparent now and act to cement your bond. There is a strong sense of adventure experienced now, and activities shared with a partner can be particularly exciting and perhaps a little daring. The desire to stand out as unique or to do something a little different and innovative can overcome you now.Libra
Excellent energy is with you for productivity and cleverness, dear Libra. With work and routines today, you’re on the ball, ready to do something different.

Either way, you’re enthusiastic and ready to take on a challenge. You want to do something out of the ordinary, new, and unique with what you have! There can be advances in work or health matters now. You can get much more done when inspired and knowing that you’re doing something exciting. There may be a major discovery about an old financial matter or intimate relationship today or tomorrow.

You are willing to take the lead in a relationship without stepping on anyone’s toes or coming across as pushy. Ask for what you want from a relationship, and you may very well get it!

There can be pleasure derived from doing a job well or a sense of accomplishment after taking care of important details. You have the ability to take the lead in a family matter. Others are putting their faith in you! This is a great time to work on letting go of grudges, which can be toxic to you not only now but the longer you keep them.

You are in a very positive mood, and others will likely enjoy your company today. There may be a new approach to an old problem around the home or regarding living conditions and arrangements, and it’s promising. Upgrading and improving are in focus and favorable. You’re bolder in business or with money, and you’re ready to take action on a matter that has been lingering. Positiveness about your situation fuels you with the energy to get things done. You may be motivating others with your enthusiasm now, particularly family members or those closest to you.Pisces
You might discover wonderful opportunities today and tomorrow that brighten your day and fuel your ambition or enthusiasm, dear Pisces. These likely relate to communications projects, learning, or transportation. Problems that previously seemed too difficult to solve now appear only as minor obstacles! It’s a good day for personal appeal as you come across as amiably direct and confident. You’re likely to find that if you throw yourself into personal or mental projects and even games, it elevates your mood. Opportunities to express and enjoy yourself are emerging. You feel you can take on anything, particularly on a mental level. You are expressing yourself more assertively and spontaneously. You can quickly become inspired by your projects, interests, or even news you hear now. If you are not already totally into something, it’s a great time to explore new ideas and make new connections.
