Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Mercury ends its retrograde period today, dear Aries, and since Mercury has been retrograde in your sign for the last few weeks, this direct turn is especially significant for you. But while it’s a signal that communication problems will clear up soon, don’t expect it to happen in a day. Slowly but surely, others will find it easier to understand and communicate with you, and stalled plans can resume. Information surfaces that help you move forward and make decisions. Some of the tension you’ve been feeling of late can dissipate as you take a clearer look at things. For today, take care with the words you choose to express yourself. Misunderstandings are entirely possible as Mercury, the planet of communication, shifts directions. Soon, you’ll benefit from a more straightforward approach to life, but observe and process before jumping into decisions.Taurus
Aim to learn from frustrations emerging now as Mercury stations direct, dear Taurus, as you’ll have many opportunities to improve conditions in the future. With today’s shift, it may be wise to choose your words and your battles wisely. It’s not quite yet ideal timing for entirely new projects and endeavors, but you’ll see forward movement on delayed projects in the coming days. Delays lift or word comes through that helps you make decisions and ends a state of limbo. You may enjoy increased faith in your dreams and ideas. Behind-the-scenes matters go particularly well for you, and you may begin to see a grand design behind recent events in your life. New information can come to light that helps you make important decisions, and you have a stronger sense of how to deal with troubling issues from the past.Gemini
Mercury’s several-week retrograde period ends today, dear Gemini, and many recent misunderstandings are likely to clear up in the coming days. Mercury is your ruler, so when Mercury turns direct, you may feel like your personal plans are once again on the front burner, and you can move on. Even so, the shift itself has the initial effect of magnifying problem areas, particularly related to personal ventures and friendships. It’s not an ideal time to bring up sensitive topics just for now, as misunderstandings can be frustrating, and in some cases, wholly unnecessary. However, Mercury’s forward turn in your social sector promises more clarity and understanding with friends in the future. You’ll dwell less on the past, and you’ll begin to take more interest in making the most of what you have in the present. Plans that might have recently stalled could resume or end–either way, they’re no longer up in the air, and you can make a decision.Cancer
Mercury’s retrograde cycle comes to an end today, dear Cancer. While this means an imminent clearing of obstacles and delays, the day itself can be a bit confusing until you get your bearings. In the days ahead, however, projects might unblock and delays lift. Work projects can advance, and communications can open up, particularly with associates, bosses, parents, or managers. You’ll begin to feel the fog lifting in the coming days, and you’re likely to be more precise about your goals. Career matters can resume or pick up speed. Recent feelings of a lack of direction or of being in the dark about key areas of your life have left you in a state of limbo, which is now likely to dissipate. Today, there can be some confused plans and communications, so aim to be as clear as possible in your dealings or put off complicated discussions temporarily. In the week ahead, you can become aware of new responsibilities and let old plans and projects fall out of focus.Leo
Mercury turns direct after several weeks of retrograde motion, dear Leo, and things are unblocking. Communication or transportation delays and breakdowns may have been more common for you in the past few weeks, and while you’re not entirely out of the woods on this level, more clarity is coming shortly. Decision-making on travel, publishing, and educational matters becomes lucid, and stalled initiatives may resume or pick up speed. Delayed or missing information comes in, and if you’re still into it, you can now move forward. There can be a real sense of moving forward, but you need to correct past mistakes and omissions to clear the path. As you look forward to more clarity and decisiveness, be a little more mindful of communications today, as misunderstandings are likely with Mercury at its station.Virgo
Today’s Moon transit encourages your curiosity and desire for variety, dear Virgo, although you’re ready to settle in later today. There can be some confusion or misunderstood communications today as Mercury changes direction. In truth, Mercury’s direct motion helps financial and intimate matters gain clarity or move forward. It can clear recent blocks and slowdowns. It might help fill in the blanks on some issues, which leads to better choices and decisions. You’ll be in good shape for negotiating about money or time-sharing in the coming days and weeks. While there has been a stronger focus on the past and stumbling blocks to deal with recently, you’ll begin to see things more clearly, especially with financial concerns and close relationships. The days ahead are good for repairing relationship woes, if necessary, and for smoothing over dilemmas of an intimate or financial nature. It’s a good time for healing or getting over emotional obstacles, as well. Today, be more mindful of directions and communications.Libra
Mercury ends its retrograde period today, dear Libra, and you’ll enjoy improved communications in the coming days and weeks. There can be some confusion as Mercury changes direction today, making it essential to slow down and get your facts straight. Going forward, however, relationship matters become clearer, and stalled projects are likely to resume as information comes to light that makes decision-making more straightforward. While this shift helps clear information clogs, the shift itself can demand some reorienting today. Look forward to increased clarity, particularly in your relationships, as Mercury slowly regains its regular speed, and you feel more confident about making the right decisions. For now, take special care in your interactions with others and consider that you may be missing important details. Don’t jump too quickly into action just yet! Instead, allow new information to trickle in.Scorpio
Today’s energies can be frustrating if you’re attempting to push forward plans, mainly related to work or health, dear Scorpio, but there are indicators that things are unblocking. The key is to be patient a bit longer. In fact, Mercury turns direct today after over three weeks of retrograde motion, and routine matters tend to iron or smooth out. Information comes in that helps you make better choices and decisions. More clarity is on its way. Aim to be clearer in your dealings than usual today during this transition period for best results. The Moon continues in your sign for much of today, highlighting your emotional needs and personal plans. However, later today, the Moon moves into your resources sector, and the desire to settle in and get comfortable dominates.Sagittarius
Today, Mercury ends its retrograde period after over three weeks, dear Sagittarius. While it may be more chaotic or confusing than most days, this shift in direction can bring improved communications and more clarity in romantic and creative affairs in the coming days and weeks. Because it’s a shift day, it’s best to be more vigilant with following instructions and expressing yourself today. However, you can look forward to delays and blocks lifting as you advance. It’s a time when information unclogs so that your choices and decisions are clearer. It’s time to come at problems from a new angle! Further information emerges, and this releases energy to flow forward. You may be reconsidering a goal or dealing with something that you overlooked so that you can clear the path for moving on. Later today, the Moon moves into your sign, pulling up the need for more interactivity in your life.Capricorn
The end of Mercury’s retrograde cycle today can point to improved communications with friends and family in the coming days and weeks, dear Capricorn. It can also mean you’ll soon feel more determined and definite. While you’re unlikely to see immediate results today, projects are set to move forward. You might return to previous conversations that were going nowhere or confused you, this time with more clarity. You’ll find life a little easier to navigate as projects or appointments begin to move forward and motivation increases. Home projects that were left undone now resume. Keep things simple for the best results, and take your time! Helping you with this is the Moon’s move into your privacy sector later today, as it encourages you to take a step back and recharge your energy.Aquarius
With Mercury’s station today, it would be ideal to take a light schedule if possible, dear Aquarius. Mercury turns direct after a retrograde phase since the first of the month. It’s good news, but there can be some disorientation temporarily because it’s a shift of direction. While it’s best not to jump into action, new launches, or major decisions, you’ll enjoy some forward motion on delayed projects in the coming days and weeks. Further information can arrive that facilitates decision-making. Aim to work on activities that help clear up delays and set the ball rolling to make progress. Forward movement is likely in significant projects, mainly related to learning, writing, and connecting. The information you’ve been waiting for or that has delayed decisions begins to come through. Transportation and educational difficulties or blocks clear up.Pisces
Mercury ends its retrograde cycle today, dear Pisces, and it turns direct in your solar second house. Prickly problems and indecision may have been more prevalent recently, especially with money and personal property, but now you’re beginning to feel that you’re moving past it all. The information you need to make important decisions or to move a project forward starts to trickle in. More clarity is around the corner, particularly surrounding financial matters. Some plans or ideas may fall by the wayside, while others regain momentum. Today, as the shift occurs, however, take special care with your communications, which can easily be misunderstood. Even better, ease things forward in a few days.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
