Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Your planetary ruler, Mars, is heading into alignment with Neptune, dear Aries, and in the spotlight now is a new take on a past matter or a fuller sense of what you need from downtime. Your dreaming world is very active. You may be enjoying a sense of faith in letting things unfold naturally, which can be calming. You might recognize the need for some extra time for personal activities that nourish you on a spiritual or emotional level. You might otherwise feel that you should be taking action on a long-standing problem, helping to clear the decks for new beginnings. Do watch for a tendency to work against yourself with so much going on under the hood. Aim to focus on improving your life. In moderation, fantasizing can be therapeutic. Testing your boundaries can be in focus, and impulses can undoubtedly be unusual but also very revealing. There can be quite a bit of action in your private world or with your health. Your gut feelings are powerful now!Taurus
Especially as the day advances, new ideas, plans, or visions of your future can inspire and motivate you today, dear Taurus. You’re looking for a little more from your life or meaning in your experiences as Mars heads into alignment with Neptune in your solar eleventh house. There can be some ambiguity or mystery with a friend or associate, or an event, meeting, or special memory jumpstarts a whole new direction. This is a time for discovering or renewing a passion! While you can be enthusiastic about a new project or goal, be sure to check the details before going forward. Aim to sit with your inspiration before going ahead with it. Friendships or networking can introduce temptations or encourage unusual desires, and there can be some synchronicity happening now that takes you on a new path. You can be moved by a cause and feel especially passionate about a dream, belief, or idea.Gemini
With Mars and Neptune gearing up to align in your career sector, dear Gemini, it’s time to open your heart to new possibilities, particularly regarding your life path, career, or status. You might consider strategies to find more meaning in the work you do. With this transit, your energy levels are highly dependent on your motivation levels or a sense of purpose. Today’s influences encourage you to follow a goal or desire. Still, demands from work and others can be draining, as you’re more in gear for imagining and envisioning what you want than for taking steps forward towards your goals. You may be tempted to escape responsibilities or to daydream the day away. A better option may be to tap into your imagination and conjure up images of how you’d like the direction of your life to go. Allow the path to unfold rather than try to push a particular route.Cancer
You are entertaining lofty goals right now, dear Cancer, and you’re looking for experiences that add more meaning to your life and nourish your spirit. Creativity and imagination are enhanced as Mars heads into alignment with Neptune. Your fantasy life is rich and colorful now. You are personally magnetic today and this week and, temporarily, a direct approach to your goals is not favored. It would benefit you greatly if you live in the moment and allow your intuition to guide you. While it’s not an ideal time for signing contracts or engaging in work that requires attention to facts and figures, it’s a strong day for creative expression, new ideas, and wonderfully inspiring experiences. You may be longing to get away and could find yourself daydreaming of exotic places or situations. For best results, entertain new feelings and desires, but take your time when it comes to pursuing them. It’s a great time to discover a new interest or open yourself to a new perspective that can motivate you.Leo
You’re turning your attention to broad matters today, dear Leo, as a pending Mars-Neptune alignment stirs deep feelings and desires. You might feel inspired to put a fantasy into motion. You’re finding ways to bring more imagination, romance, or spirituality into your life. While some fantasy is good, if the regular world seems black and white in comparison, then you may be missing out on the opportunity to make your current world a better place. Otherwise, this is a wonderful time for magical sharing experiences. The desire to bond deeply with someone, or to make a spiritual connection to someone or something, can be powerful. There can also be an increased appreciation for subtlety in your intimate life. Aim to work with the energies of the day, which can very much go either way! For best results, entertain possibilities while keeping your feet on the ground.Virgo
An impending Mars-Neptune alignment highlights your need for others, dear Virgo, pulling out rather dreamy feelings about someone or a relationship. Your relationship needs are in strong focus! It can be a powerful time for building up your enthusiasm or motivation, especially through the support or encouragement of someone special or with a relationship goal in mind. A mysterious aura around you now can be quite appealing, and you naturally draw others to you. The dreamer in you comes to the fore, but do take care that you don’t dramatize something trivial to escape from the dull elements of your life. There is a chance that others are confusing or deceptive, or you’re questioning your vision of a person or relationship. Another possibility is that you’re attracting unusual experiences in your relationships. Whatever occurs now, it’s likely to stimulate a new pursuit or a resolution to put your dreams into motion or to pursue a passion.Libra
A Mars-Neptune alignment is coming into play today, dear Libra, and it spotlights and supports your dreams, although you may feel discouraged before you feel inspired! You’re tuning in to the most subtle elements of the atmosphere around you that might typically escape your notice. Take the time to consider ways to incorporate more imagination and creativity into your daily life, work, and health and wellness pursuits. You’ll be far more productive if your endeavors are interesting, inspired, or creative. The ordinary doesn’t appeal to you today–you seek new experiences and different approaches. You may very well spend many moments of the day lost in fantasy or daydreams. While it’s not the best day for attention to practical matters, it’s excellent for creative visualization. Romantically speaking, this can be an exciting and even exhilarating day if you allow yourself to enjoy the moment. A relationship may not be straightforward although there can be a lot of fantasy and desire stirring.Scorpio
Mars and Neptune are heading into alignment in your sector of joy, dear Scorpio, and you’re looking for inspiration. With Mars in this area of your solar chart since March 22nd, you’re more inclined to action with your creative and romantic pursuits. You can be motivated to actively seek your joy, pursue pleasure, and participate in recreational endeavors. Today, you can feel especially compelled to go after what you want in these areas, but you must do so differently. Avoid rushing into something, but pay attention to your desires, which can be considerable and perhaps surprising. It’s a great time for artistic expression; at the least, the desire to express yourself uniquely, romantically, or creatively is potent. Others find you especially attractive and magnetic. Emotional desires and whims can feel urgent now, but your best bet will be to recognize them, let them flesh out, and then draw on patience to fulfill them.Sagittarius
While today can hold some confusing desires, whims, impulses, and situations, there’s the potential for much inspiration if you’re looking in the right places, dear Sagittarius. It’s important not to follow every whim that overcomes you now, but listening to your unrest and inklings is valuable, as they give clues to what may be missing in your life! If expectations of loved ones are set too high, you can feel drained or discouraged. Taking time out and allowing yourself extra personal space to gather your thoughts can be in order. It’s a good day for visualizing what you’d like to do with your life, although less ideal for finalizing agreements. Restlessness on the home front or in your personal life is best managed by taking in a movie or otherwise getting caught up in others’ dramas rather than creating a real-life family drama of your own! It can also be a good time for creative approaches to family matters or activities and bringing more imagination to the home environment. For best results, take a break from pushing ahead.Capricorn
Mars and Neptune are heading into alignment in your communications sector, dear Capricorn, awakening a strong urge to learn, connect, or put a unique idea into motion. If you’ve been feeling a growing desire for something more interesting, unusual, or creative to engage your mind recently, it’s likely due to this transit. There can be remarkable conversations, connections, and synchronicities happening now. The day can be creative but also somewhat impractical and restless. You may temporarily allow wishful thinking to interfere with your reasoning power, so it may not be the best time for endeavors requiring attention to detail. As long as you can separate fact from fiction, however, you’re well-positioned to work with the day’s energies rather than against them. You see the importance and impact of thought, intention, and your own words on your life.Aquarius
Mars is heading into alignment with Neptune, stirring your desire to put your dreams into action, dear Aquarius. It can be an interesting day for business and money, but not necessarily practical! Do not let money or possessions slip through your fingers right now, and watch for others overstepping their boundaries. It’s best not to focus too much on what you lack in terms of needs, wants, and desires. Instead, this is a time to recognize that you may want more and catch some inspiration. Allow yourself more time to understand yourself. Still, you can feel a sudden urge to handle a money matter, and you might come up with unusual and creative approaches to managing your resources or employing your talents. It’s a good time to envision and imagine. You tend to express your unusual or sudden desires and feelings impulsively now. If meaning is missing in your activities now, you’re likely to feel drained, and this can serve as an important prompt. Indeed, if you’re inspired by a stronger sense of purpose or meaning, you can accomplish much.Pisces
Mars is moving into alignment with Neptune in your sign, dear Pisces, pulling up so many desires and impulses that you may not know where to begin! Still, it’s a fine time for feeling both inspired and bold. You’re motivated to express your creativity or uniqueness. While you can be highly persuasive, your emotions are so strong that you can feel extremes, whether it’s happiness, restlessness, or discouragement. Avoid creating drama if your life seems a little too humdrum or dull without it. Consider ways to make changes that will add color, flair, and imagination to your daily life. Mars has been adding electricity and verve to your personality since March 22nd, and its alignment with dreamy Neptune suggests a need to feel inspired to take action. You are especially magnetic — people find you intriguing and perhaps a little exotic.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
