Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
A Full Moon today brings your feelings about a friend or your social life/happiness goals to the fore, dear Aries. It’s a time of epiphanies about your need to be involved, belong, and contribute. Transits also challenge you to break out of a rut or a pattern that’s been preventing you from growing and changing. However, watch for unnecessary conflicts in the process and be mindful. If you act out without self-awareness, you may be taking risks, overpaying, or jumping into (or out of) something too quickly. You’ve been very wrapped up in your personal life, and now you see opportunities to share your load or collaborate. Today’s Full Moon can produce a surprise, bringing warmth, emotion, and color to your social sector. There can be a sudden discovery, someone’s need for your assistance, or a recognition of your feelings.Taurus
Aim to pull the constructive out of criticism if you face it today, dear Taurus. As well, the Full Moon can challenge your craving for more downtime with a scurry of activity. Events now highlight your responsibilities or remind you of your ties to the outside world. This lunation awakens you to the need for a long-term goal or well-defined ambition. An overarching plan is important now, and you may come up with a new idea along these lines. This Full Moon reminds you of the need to pay special attention to your work or reputation, and a call to action is possible. While you could feel some pressure to perform, don’t push yourself too hard. Today’s Sun-Uranus square can blur your perceptions a little. You could feel more rebellious, restless, and curious, but you don’t yet have a plan. However, aim to resist the urge to rebel or react abruptly, but do honor your need for a change so that you can gain some emotional refreshment. Find a way to answer your needs for both independence and comfort.Gemini
Be honest with yourself about which of your plans and priorities might need revision, dear Gemini. Today’s transits remind you of the benefits of improvement. A Full Moon can bring a turning point or revelation about communications, learning, education, travel, attitude, outlook, or publishing, setting you on a fresh path. Feelings are raw, and you’re ready to embrace them. If you’ve been too caught up in your daily affairs, it’s a time when you recognize the need to branch out and refresh your spirit. This lunation calls you to expand your interests and experiences, particularly if you’ve been overly focused on your personal life. An idea or interest you’ve been working on can take flight. Still, you can feel torn between playing things safe and making a change, or what you say could stir up some conflict or controversy. A part of you may want to break free from confining patterns and secrets, which can be at the root of impulsive communications now. It may be a way of getting something out of your system. On the bright side, schedule changes may lead to new and exciting connections.Cancer
Take note that you are more sensitive to limits today, dear Cancer, and adjust accordingly. With today’s Full Moon, it’s a time to recognize your attachments, debts, and needs for support and intimacy. Revelations at this time are catalysts for making changes related to dependencies and support systems. It can be a time to settle your accounts, but it might also be a time of blossoming feelings in your love life or strong feelings about a passion project. Money or intimacy issues can reach a head and demand your attention. This Full Moon illuminates matters that have been previously hidden or unacknowledged, and it can play out on the level of finances or shared resources. There can be unpredictable energy or surprise elements to the day, and you’re more inclined to act from a place of emotion than from a place of reason. In truth, something that you’ve been sitting on may need to come out, and this can be a good thing, but it may be better to tone things down or choose a better time to do so.Leo
The Full Moon occurs in your partnership sector today, dear Leo, awakening your feelings about a relationship (or your relationship goals/needs). It’s a good time to connect with a significant other in different, original ways. Revelations related to relationships and needs occur around this time. While some tension is possible, it’s a good learning experience. This lunation can also bring a personal matter to your attention or get you in touch with feelings you’ve kept at bay, and it’s revealing. It can encourage you to reach a compromise or find a better balance if you’ve been overdoing things. There may be an air of discontent today, but you can learn much about yourself. You may need to manage some unpredictability in your career or tension related to long-term goals. With the Sun in your sign under strain, there can be surprises related to work, reputation, rules, and responsibilities. If you’re frustrated about not having a clear goal or path, consider focusing on small jobs with clear goals until things make more sense. Things may fall into place given a bit of time and space. Watch for provocative, rebellious, or abrupt behavior that works against you. Something needs to change, and it’s best to identify it so you can be the one in charge of making improvements. If you can’t find the source, consider taking steps to reduce stress.Virgo
If duty and pleasure are pitted against one another, you may need to strike a compromise today, dear Virgo. Today’s Full Moon can bring things into flux, particularly on the job or with daily affairs and chores, but nothing you can’t handle. It’s certainly a time to recognize your need to better care for your health, work, or routines, but try not to rush getting more organized. Ideally, irritations motivate you to make significant improvements. Your need for psychic space, time out, or some form of retreat often dominates these days with the Sun in your privacy sector. The Sun under strain today can challenge your need to relax and unwind. Your desire to expand, grow, learn, and connect is powerful and stands in contrast to the quieter, healing activities you seek. In truth, there can be an inner conflict between seeking out new experiences and getting time to process recent ones. Finding a way to balance what you want to do and what you feel you should do for better physical and mental health can be difficult, but it is what you need now! Keep in mind that you’ll do nothing well if you don’t refresh yourself. It makes sense to confront aspects of yourself or past choices that may be blocking current success. Demands are high, and emotions are on the strong side, but you have a good sense that if you stay on top of them, you can make meaningful changes. A work, health, or a matter you’ve been avoiding may now reach a turning point!Libra
A project can become more demanding, dear Libra, but you’ll put forth extra effort if it’s worth your time. Restructuring may be in order. Today’s Full Moon can bring romantic revelations or drama to your social life. There can be touching revelations about people in your life and your need for them, your place in a group, with friends, or even in the community. The need to more fully express your joy, love, affection, and creativity is in focus now, spurring you into action. You can experience a powerful desire to create something unique, and your personal life and projects deserve special attention. Feelings are full and rich, and hard to ignore! Today’s Sun-Uranus square also reminds you of the things in your life that need improvement. You might deal with conflicting feelings for a person or project. You can be touchy today in areas where you’ve felt confined or limited. Opening your mind to potential disruptions seems the best strategy now. Instead of rebelling against what feels like pressure to conform or to fit in, consider more constructive, moderate ways to reduce the tension or express your individuality.Scorpio
Today’s transits can be tense in spots, dear Scorpio, but also highly motivating. As you see flaws, your desire to improve strengthens. With the Sun at the top of your solar chart these days, you might often prioritize your work and goals, but your responsibilities can clash with your need for companionship or a focus on relationships. It’s best to identify areas of your life that require a change or a new approach instead of falling back on the same behaviors that keep outdated patterns alive. You won’t thrive if your actions are dictated by what someone else is or isn’t doing, especially if they don’t return the favor. Aim to break out of habits that don’t serve you well and focus on making steady progress and improvements. Today’s Full Moon occurs in your solar fourth house, and family or home matters grab your attention. A balance is needed if you’ve prioritized your responsibilities to the outside world. It’s time to gain perspective on matters related to your home, family, and personal life or your emotional world. Be sure to recharge so that you can give other areas of your life your best. You can benefit greatly from catching up with family or your own heart, finding reassurance and control in the balance you maintain.Sagittarius
You may be enjoying your work more than usual these days, dear Sagittarius, but home life or personal matters may need extra attention now. As well, today’s Full Moon can stir revelations regarding your assignments, studies, mental outlook, and personal interests. It’s an exciting time for a better understanding of your interests. Today’s transits can stir some discontent, and at the heart of restlessness can be a need for a change of pace. Because you may not learn a better method if you stick too rigidly to a routine or plan, a change now can nudge you in a new direction. Aim to adapt and be as flexible as possible if there are new plans. Still, a lack of organization can get in the way of your broader goals, and you might resolve to be more prepared next time. There can be deadlines, errands, and paperwork needing your attention. If you’ve avoided your daily affairs, you’ll now want to balance your life. Something previously hidden or only “in the works” comes to light. A change of plans or a sudden awareness of an outstanding matter can lead to a scuffle of activity. However, don’t rush things, as much as you might feel pressed now.Capricorn
A Full Moon today can bring your true feelings or even financial matters to light, dear Capricorn, demanding your attention. Revelations now can drive you to make valuable improvements. There can be meaningful epiphanies related to money, resources, personal possessions, comfort, and security. It’s a time to recognize your needs, even if honoring them can’t yet happen. With more clarity about your feelings, you’ll have a better idea of your next step. Whether a financial breakthrough or a quick purchase, it seems out of the blue and unexpected. You might also be asserting your independence in surprising ways. Situations may serve as a nudge to get on top of your finances. A more intense desire for security and comfort can also be a motivator. It’s best to be willing to let go of a pattern or habit holding you back so you can magnetize more positive energy into your life. Even with slightly unstable themes this week, there’s some beautiful energy for finding a better balance.Aquarius
Today’s Full Moon in your sign opens your eyes to the need to express yourself more fully, dear Aquarius. The realizations you experience now can color many of your actions in the future. This lunation can bring a sudden awareness, and it’s a time of discovery as you recognize your feelings. If you’ve recently focused so much on your relationships that you’ve ignored your own needs, you’ll feel the lack now. A relationship matter might come to light, or a personal revelation is possible. There can be quite a bit of attention coming your way! Emotions that surface now can point you to areas of your life that need more tender loving care. With the Sun square Uranus today, changes in plans or schedules may temporarily throw you off balance as well, but they can also lead to rewarding experiences. Taking steps to move out of your comfort zone is the path that empowers you, although it doesn’t always feel intuitive. Resolve to make your own choices rather than give in to rebellious or reactive moves.Pisces
You could be frustrated with someone who appears to be carefree while you take on too many burdens today, dear Pisces, but be sure to avoid allowing this frustration to drive you. You might aim to get the space you need to attend to your responsibilities. At the same time, if you’ve overlooked your need for rest or emotional refreshment, today’s Full Moon can prompt you to find a better work-life balance. Taking care of your mental health or getting extra rest can be especially important or necessary now. This lunation can bring a secret, health, work, or private matter to light. There can be a sudden, powerful need to rest or take a break if you’ve focused too much on your daily routines or work to the detriment of your inner world. It’s a time to recoup and strengthen emotionally. Aim to redirect yourself in the face of schedule changes or surprises since friction can motivate you to make changes that truly benefit you.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
