Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Mercury begins its transit of your opposite sign today, dear Aries, and will influence this area of your solar chart until November 5th. It’s a pleasant position for Mercury and a period for sharing your ideas and plans more readily, particularly in one-on-one settings. You tend to do more thinking about your relationships or collaborating with a partner. In the weeks ahead, you seem to need catalysts to jumpstart your thinking, and you crave more conversation, feedback, and input for this reason. Your ability to consider the other side of the coin strengthens, helping endear you to others and giving you a valuable new perspective. Today’s energies are good for bringing more organization or structure to your daily affairs.Taurus
Mercury begins its transit of your solar sixth house today, dear Taurus, and will stay until November 5th–a longer than usual Mercury transit. You take more interest in details, work, health, and problem-solving during this cycle. Small jobs and duties or dissecting problems are in stronger focus. It’s a great time to tidy up your life in small but impactful ways, but it’s crucial to avoid overthinking and worrying, which can happen under duress. It’s a perfect time for updating skills and learning things that help improve your work and health. Today, you’re most interested in building something that will last. Your sense of practical priorities is strong.Gemini
The messenger planet and your ruler, Mercury, heads into your playful, creative solar fifth house today, dear Gemini. Until November 5th, you gravitate to people who encourage and make it easy for you to express yourself. Positive communications and a receptive audience for your ideas and gestures figure strongly. Areas of life associated with the fifth house can be more interesting and thought-worthy for you now, including romance, children, and hobbies or creative pursuits. You may get the chance to shine or stand out from the crowd on a mental level, or this can be a time of more straightforward expression of your feelings, ideas, and personality. If you’ve had trouble verbalizing your affections, this is a time to get things out. Today, emotions are sharp and clear. Today’s transits favor channeling emotions in constructive, helpful, and practical ways.Cancer
Mercury begins its transit of your home and family sector today, dear Cancer. While not the most expressive or communicative of Mercury cycles, it’s a solid period for sorting out problems around the home and opening up the lines of communication with loved ones. This Mercury transit lasts longer than usual, running until November 5th. You have a lot to learn at home and through contact with loved ones, but you may not be as forthcoming with the outside world. You more frequently consider long-term security or endeavors that have long-lasting potential, and you’re often preoccupied with your personal life. This transit can point to extra busy-ness in your domestic world. Today, you’re best off if you can catch your breath and process recent events and feelings. You might find the time and energy to put an annoying problem behind you.Leo
