Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Sun is transiting your sector of values and resources, dear Aries, positioning you well to take charge of your finances. You may be taking action on securing yourself, deciding what to make of your natural talents, and finding ways to better use your resources. You could also be accumulating more possessions if that’s what makes sense to you now. When the Sun is under strain during this transit that lasts until May 20th, you may be inclined to overdo, overspend, or obsess over your means and material things. Otherwise, it’s an excellent time to get into a more secure, steadier headspace. Today, good energy is with you for negotiations and partnering. Relations with a partner can be stimulating and forward-moving. Still, you can be more sensitive to imbalances in relationships than usual, particularly regarding attachment and freedom levels. Your desire to go your own way seems to clash with a desire for company.Taurus
The Sun is transiting your sign, dear Taurus, and will continue to do so until May 20th. You’re more noticeable in the month ahead, and this Sun cycle encourages making an impression. If you want to change your image, the weeks ahead are a good time to do so, and if you seek to push your ideas, product, or personality, you’ll have better success at this time of year. This period is vital for personal appeal, attention, and power in general. However, you want to get a handle on your daily affairs today. You tend to go out of your way to help, but you might need to delegate some tasks, take some time for yourself, and say “no” occasionally. Avoid over-committing.Gemini
The Sun is transiting your solar twelfth house, dear Gemini, and it’s the time of year for increased focus on rest, relaxation, detoxing, and putting excess or outdated projects and situations behind you. It’s a tidying-up period of the year, with a focus on emotions and loose ends. A time of rest and replenishment, it’s less than ideal for pushing yourself or your plans. You might close matters that have run their natural course, and you may instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs a little better. This is an excellent cycle, lasting until May 20th, for preventing overload. Today, however, you can feel a strong desire to express yourself. It’s best to remember that you’re in charge of your happiness, as it’s all too easy with today’s transits to look for it outside of yourself.Cancer
The Sun is now transiting your social sector, dear Cancer, where it will visit until May 20th. This influence is a supportive one. You focus on new beginnings, projects, and ideas, and you can feel quite hopeful about where your life may be heading. Instead, this can be a time for experimenting with new ideas and plans or dreaming up new visions of where you’d like to go with your life in a general sense. There can be an increased focus on social activities, teamwork, friendships, group connections, and the community. Personal opportunities can emerge through friends, networks, or groups. Today, however, the Moon spends the day in your family and home sector, and the need for familiar spaces and faces runs high. It can be difficult to get completely comfortable today if you have no idea what your overarching plan is, however. The remedy might be to consider making small, realizable goals until you get a clearer picture of the master plan.Leo
The Sun is now transiting your solar tenth house, dear Leo, and you’re in a more ambitious phase of the year. Until May 20th, you experience a stronger need or desire to perform well, take care of business, and attend to responsibilities. You find yourself in higher demand than usual, both personally and professionally. There can be a lot of attention to your accomplishments and responsibilities in the weeks ahead. You’re particularly aware of your obligations and the impact you’re making on the world around you. It’s a sound period for taking charge of your life and clarifying your long-term goals. As an especially goal-oriented period, you might treat it as a checkpoint for your performance and accomplishments. Today, you enjoy being busy but might find it hard to know precisely what you want to do with yourself! Daily life can feel a little demanding today, but distractions can be plenty. People could be holding back their true feelings and more sensitive emotions today, so it could be an uphill battle trying to get the information you crave at times. Be patient!Virgo
The Sun is transiting your solar ninth house, dear Virgo, stirring your desire to experience life beyond the ordinary routine until May 20th. Opportunities are coming your way, and they’re likely to do with creative, publishing, transportation, promotional, or educational channels. It’s a great time of year for exploring new ideas, enjoying new experiences, and venturing into unknown territory. Anything that expands your understanding of the world around you appeals now and in the weeks ahead. Even so, today’s Moon finds you craving a bit of predictability temporarily. You can be looking to bring more feelings of comfort and security into your life. Differences in values with others are especially apparent now, but you can both rise above them and dig deep to the heart of the matter.Libra
The Sun is now transiting your solar eighth house, dear Libra, and until May 20th, you have more power to make personal transformations. It’s a more introspective, deeper, intense period of the year. You’ve completed a solar cycle that emphasized your relationships, but now, you’re exploring a deeper level of intimacy and sharing. During this cycle, you’re more interested in digging deep than skimming the surface of things. The Sun shines its light on some of the things typically hidden from view, and you stand to learn a lot about your inner workings, motivations, and desires. Your private world assumes more importance, and you take special notice of the layers of circumstances and people around you. You may need to take charge of financial matters and resources shared with a partner or non-income sources of money and support. A more profound, passionate attitude towards life is emerging! It’s a time of year when you might be going through some form of self-transformation. With the Moon in your sign today, however, you can be filled with initiative but perhaps a little restless if unsure where to direct your energy.Scorpio
With the Sun transiting your opposite sign until May 20th, dear Scorpio, you could be coming to a more balanced state of being and a larger perspective of what you need and want from your life. There can be a stronger focus on companionship or partnerships in the weeks ahead, and you can benefit from the insights of a significant other. Some of your personal plans may need refinement, or you may put a little less energy into them as you attend to other areas of life, particularly social ones. This cycle reveals your need for a different perspective on your life and your innate need for others. You’re taking more pride in a partnership, or a partnership demands more attention than usual. You’re more willing to adjust and adapt to the needs of key people in your lives. Still, you could wrestle a bit with going your own way versus maintaining the status quo. If you need more time to truly own a particular path or position, then take that extra time.Sagittarius
The Sun is now transiting your solar sixth house, dear Sagittarius. You take more pride in your work until May 20th, and as a result, your performance improves in the month ahead. This cycle is excellent for getting on top of your daily affairs–it’s a time for improving your work, health, and daily routines. Plans and lists can be drawn up for getting the details of your life in better order. This transit awakens a need to lead a more organized, productive, and healthier lifestyle! While there can be some annoying grunt work to take care of during this period, overall, it’s a good time to find more meaning in your daily affairs or catch up on important matters. Today, you’re in good shape for mediating and connecting. Transits are good for thinking, conversing, and solving problems with a generally cool head.Capricorn
The Sun is now transiting the sector of your solar chart that rules your individuality and creative expression, dear Capricorn, and will continue here until May 20th. The weeks ahead are for expressing your talents, abilities, and affections more heartfully. A stronger urge is with you to create, put skills to use, show others what you can do, experience and enjoy romance, and partake of many of life’s pleasures. It’s a smooth, supportive cycle that encourages a more spontaneous, free-spirited approach to your life. If you’ve been working too hard or overthinking, this is a time to find ways to let go of stress and add more playful or creative activities to your life. Making time for recreation is vital in the weeks ahead. Today, you feel freer to explore ideas and projects you love. Your intuition is strong for practical matters, business, money, and career. You can experience a tug-of-war between your desire to get things done and your need to relax and blend in with your surroundings today, however. Confidence-building makes the most sense right now.Aquarius
The Sun is now transiting your home and family sector, dear Aquarius, and will visit until May 20th. During this homey, stabilizing cycle, you’ll be pouring more heart and pride into your personal life. In general, worldly ambitions tend to take a backseat in the weeks ahead. You are tending to the hearth and deriving security from the familiar. It’s an excellent time to get grounded and centered. Refueling and building up your confidence can be in focus. Give extra attention to your loved ones, home, and domestic routines for the best results. While outside interests and responsibilities are still important, this is a time to honor your need for some familiarity or routine. Still, focusing on the bigger picture helps you frame things nicely today. Your patience with others goes a long way towards enhancing your connections. Crossed wires can cause some minor issues and muddled plans, but through small problems, you might discover alternate ways to enjoy yourself.Pisces
The Sun is now transiting your communications sector, dear Pisces, and you enjoy increased curiosity, learning, and mental activity until May 20th. While Mercury is still retrograde for a few more days, pointing to some complications, the impetus is to reach out and communicate more than usual during this cycle. As this period progresses, it’s excellent for trying out new ideas, learning new things or, developing current studies and interests, and reaching out to others to keep in touch. Today, however, the Moon in your intimacy sector highlights your need to look within or observe rather than push forward with plans. Tensions over money, valuables, and business matters can be part of the day, but you can turn worries into creative changes. Through minor conflicts or misunderstandings comes more insight into yourself and others.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
