Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With the Moon in your partnership sector all day, dear Aries, you gravitate to others more than usual, not wanting to go it alone for the time being. It’s a time of the lunar month when you also seek more balance in your life, in general. Others naturally open up to you today, and another person’s perspective, even if it diverges from yours significantly, tends to enhance your own. Current minor challenging aspects can produce a small amount of discontent that stirs you to make essential changes. There might also be a disconnect, and some intense feelings can be hard to understand. You could have your career or responsibilities competing for your time later today. Learn to tune out the negative distractions and focus on what truly matters for making improvements.Taurus
Today’s energies favor special attention to work and health pursuits, dear Taurus, and transits inspire a happy kind of productivity. You’re taking more pride than usual in your home life, traditions, customs, or methods, and the desire to improve basic habits and daily routines is also with you. Self-improvement efforts can be in intense focus and very much favored. Still, as the day advances, you may need reassurance and be sensitive to a lack of support. Decisions aren’t straightforward, as alternatives leave you fearing you’ll miss out. Your need for security can seem at odds with a sense that you have to grow, evolve, and expose yourself to new ideas and experiences. Aim to have more faith in your intuition but if you can’t get in touch with your intuition, which is possible now with many distractions, aim to wait and see.Gemini
You especially enjoy sharing your ideas and harmonizing with others today, dear Gemini. Cooperation brings rewards and some meaningful feedback. You’ve eased out of a brief self-protective phase, and you’re approaching your world with more desire for interaction. The need to branch out to diversify and grow can nag at you in spots today, however. A relationship or your needs and wants may be dividing your attention, making it difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand. Consider that overthinking can complicate things, and suspicion may throw you off track. On the bright side, emerging problem areas can motivate you to make substantial changes that benefit you.Cancer
The Sun and Venus encourage you to settle in and get comfortable these days, dear Cancer, but this theme doesn’t always play well with other missions. As such, it’s best to make adjustments that allow you to round out your experiences even with your comfort needs prioritized. Fortunately, getting along well with others helps you advance your goals today, so be sure not to overlook the need to appeal to people around you. There may be monetary gains involved, or you might enjoy encouraging feedback for your work or talents. Aim to connect with your home base and feed your desire for security and familiarity. As the day progresses, energies can invite passionate feelings. Still, you may not feel that you’re moving forward. There can be a step forward and a step back, and staying flexible is essential. Partnership demands could run counter to personal goals or money matters, and you may need to consciously set aside time to handle your affairs.Leo
Today’s Moon transits enliven your communications and encourage you to express your feelings, dear Leo. It can be a busy, chatty, and somewhat scattered day, but quite engaging. People especially enjoy your words or style of communication. Not everything feels straightforward today, however, and stepping to the side could be better than confronting or challenging, just for now–it gives you a chance to observe and redirect plans or your energies if necessary. There can be minor hurdles that force small changes and refinements. Subtle problems tend to have fears, jealousy, or resentment at their base, and they may seem to come out of nowhere. While they’re manageable, they could lead to some off-timing.Virgo
Emotions settle, and you seek more harmony or steadiness today, dear Virgo. Strategy is more critical than bold moves on the business or practical side of life. You have an increased need for emotional contentment or predictability. Simple activities are particularly satisfying now, and the comforts and pleasures of the world of the five senses hold much appeal. Still, there can be tricky energy with you for relationships as you can find yourself at cross-purposes with someone. It may not warrant confronting an issue, or there can be a vague feeling of being a bit off. You might worry about a past poor choice or mistake. The trick might be to avoid juggling too many ideas simultaneously. You may also need to manage your ambitious side that feels you can’t let go of your watch over a project or a relationship.Libra
Today’s Moon animates your emotions and stirs you to express them, dear Libra. A friend can be supportive, and networking activities and innovative work can fare particularly well. Deviations from the usual are in order, or your mind will wander! However, directing your energy constructively may take work. If it’s unnecessary, then give yourself a break. Social interactions or issues can get in the way of your duties and vice versa. Distractions are plenty, or you are more sensitive to them. It may not be easy to know where you stand temporarily, but worrying about someone’s opinion can be too draining. While there can be some underlying tension or resentment to handle today, the adjustments you make because of it can be vastly helpful later.Scorpio
Today’s Moon transits point to a need for more downtime than usual, dear Scorpio, or a break from a quick or demanding pace of your life. It’s a quieter or more anonymous time of the lunar month when you gravitate to relaxing and healing pursuits. Try not to push too hard and avoid hasty decisions for the best results–new insight into old problems can come to you in this state. Still, underlying tensions or resentment can emerge today, and feelings are sometimes complicated. Adjustments in how you approach others or communicate may be necessary now. Take a second look, and resolve to get over this small hump. Focus on things you can control or improve rather than those you can’t. You may need to chill a little before pressing forward if only to catch your breath or adjust a few details.Sagittarius
Today’s Moon transits stir your higher aspirations, dear Sagittarius, and the primary key to emotional satisfaction or fulfillment may be to focus on your most special wishes and dreams. You appreciate things that are ever so slightly exotic or out of the ordinary. You might gain an edge in a social or learning situation today. You may be faced with a choice or there’s a dilemma involving money and freedom, business and adventure, the familiar and the unexplored, or responsibility and spontaneity. There could also be frustrations over disagreements about core values and beliefs. Indecision could be a good thing if it keeps you from making choices you haven’t yet fully owned. Aim to gather more information before going forward.Capricorn
Today’s Moon encourages you to get your priorities sorted, dear Capricorn. You tend to feel connected and relatively content about your general direction or pleasantly productive. You are especially aware of your image and of your responsibilities today. There can be some second-guessing that disrupts the natural flow with the Sun in awkward angles to Neptune and Pluto. Part of you might be looking to expose the darker side of situations or people as you search for truths. Pushing too hard and digging too deep may not be the answer right now, however, if you’re not feeling especially confident. Watch that you don’t set yourself up for an emotional fall. If you’re uncertain about a matter, it may be better not to express a definite opinion.Aquarius
Your powers of negotiation are strong today, dear Aquarius, and you can feel emotionally uplifted, ready to take on new challenges and open to new experiences. You are especially companionable and easy to talk to. There can be a chance to learn from past mistakes or to put a problem behind you. Still, you may naturally slow down just a little to make sure you’re getting things right. If you find it hard to concentrate, you may need to step back from a situation to see it more clearly if you’re patient enough to wait for it. Waiting something out may help you see the light. Oversharing and overthinking can also lead to mistakes with the Sun’s minor challenging aspects. Do your best to avoid letting uncertainty and insecurities interfere with happiness or dictate your behavior and responses.Pisces
Today’s Moon transits encourage you to take the time to understand yourself and recent events, dear Pisces. It’s a time of the lunar month to linger on your feelings instead of dismissing them. It’s also a time for a wait-and-see approach to your world, reinforced by current minor challenging aspects that complicate feelings and perceptions. The day favors contemplation and observation, and you may lay low in some way or pull yourself out of regular activities to connect with your deeper needs and desires. You might throw yourself into something that requires more deep thought or concentration. However, you may discover the need to rework or redo things that you had previously thought were complete. Push through this stuff, knowing that even if you don’t feel a clear direction at the moment, it will come. You may be on the fence about an issue, but it’s probably better that you stay that way until you figure out what you truly want. Adjustments you make to get back on track now can do a lot for future success.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
