Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Early today, you could suffer from some lack of direction, dear Aries, and feel restless as a result. Situations or even people in your life may feel draining and exhausting temporarily, serving as a reminder of the need for imagination in your life, relationships, and projects. What you see now may not be the full story, and there’s no need to push to know everything just yet. As the day advances, enthusiasm and clarity build. You might enjoy some wonderfully open and hopeful conversations, even creative ones. Opportunities to show your more creative or romantic side can emerge. The big ideas are coming to you now, and the details can be filled in later. Openness and generosity are the keys to success today and tomorrow and can open up new levels of understanding or simply generate a good feeling of growth in your relationships. You’re expressing yourself with power and positivity.Taurus
Early today, dear Taurus, you may be sorting out your perceptions of people and relationships in your life. It can be a time to confront an illusion you’ve been carrying. It’s wise to keep in mind that letting go of an outdated dream may very well make room for a new, more meaningful, and realizable goal. As the day advances, life feels clearer. Fulfillment comes through attention to family matters and belongings as well as feelings of support from your closest connections. You might enjoy especially warm relations with loved ones, feeling their love and appreciation, and take great comfort in the security that comes with it. Don’t be afraid to get creative about family, money, home, and business matters. The Sun in your home and family sector heads into harmony with Jupiter in your finances sector, encouraging feelings of abundance and warm pride. You can feel more optimistic and confident, and you are especially willing to share your good humor with others. It’s a good time to stretch your mind and think about the bigger picture.Gemini
Early today, it’s not easy to see what’s real and what’s your imagination gone wild, dear Gemini. Deception and self-deception are possible now, and your judgment might be off. This is because your expectations of situations may be interfering with your perceptions temporarily. As the day advances, however, your enthusiasm builds, and your insight is strong. A spirit of openness emerges, opening up doors to you for self-expression. It’s a strong time for social matters, and there might be a revealing conversation, a piece of good news, or information that makes you happy, sparking excitement and hope. Your connections with others, including siblings, acquaintances, and classmates, can grow by leaps and bounds. Establishing trust can be successful now. People receive your ideas and plans positively.Cancer
While you seek more predictability and security these days, dear Cancer, a part of you would prefer to enjoy yourself and perhaps wing it a little! These two urges do battle early today. Some confusion can surround goals, instructions, and conversations now. Your best bet is to wait it out, but be productive as you wait! As the day advances, it’s easier to direct yourself. You are especially insightful when it comes to how to make your life more secure and comfortable. There is a gentle, positive touch to your manner, helping you gain trust. It’s also a little easier than usual to see the bright side of things as the Sun and Jupiter head into harmony. A spirit of openness and friendly energy in the air can inspire positive thinking. Goals that involve creating and sharing can gain steam. Money matters benefit from thinking up bigger possibilities and ideas.Leo
Early today, you could need to regroup, dear Leo, as wishful thinking could be guiding you in the wrong direction. It may be best not to lend out money or valuables and watch for other energy drains related to people and projects. The spirit to create and build is strong in you now, but there may be some discouragement about reaching your goals, perhaps due to problems gaining others’ support or securing enough funds to move forward. As the day advances, however, you not only gain a sense of direction but could feel you’re on a mission. The Sun in your sign heads into harmony with optimistic, generous Jupiter, encouraging you to make connections or boost a friendship. You might gain someone’s trust and clear the air, and you feel better for it, for example. This trust-building can be a source of reassurance and security for you. You’re especially confident and optimistic. Networking, sharing, connecting, and group activities can reap some rewards. Instead, you can feel reinvigorated through projects, idea creation, and goal-setting.Virgo
Early today, you may feel the need to regroup, dear Virgo. Your desires and needs may confound you just for now, or you may second-guess what you’re striving towards. It’s entirely possible that someone in your life is showing you, quite indirectly, where you’re uncertain. Avoid acting upon vague feelings now. As the day advances, however, enthusiasm fuels you. Energies are smooth, and you can have a nice glow around you as you fill with quiet confidence. You might enjoy a spirit of openness, hope, and tolerance or a feeling that you’re heading in the right direction. Jupiter in your career and reputation sector heads into harmony with the Sun in your privacy sector, and you can feel good about the impression you’re making and the work you’re doing. You can benefit from spending some time alone getting things done. Tying up loose ends can not only be satisfying, but also successful, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.Libra
Early today, aim to better understand where you’ve been ignoring or stretching your need for imagination, wonder, or romance, dear Libra. It can be difficult to follow a routine or deal with routine matters, and you may need to be a little more vigilant than usual about getting things done. As the day advances, it can be a great time for teaching, learning, and sharing. Friendships are in strong focus, and so are team efforts, group associations, community goals, and long-term plans that excite and motivate you for the future. You enjoy special ease with others. Educational, travel, and other mind-expanding activities can thrive, or opportunities for these things can present themselves. Be especially open to possibilities today and tomorrow. You could be drawing up new and exciting plans. Conversations can be lively and helpful.Scorpio
Early today, it’s not easy to distinguish between fact and fiction, dear Scorpio. This is especially true when your heart is involved with Neptune in your pleasure sector. You may feel like something’s left up in the air or in limbo regarding a friendship, project, or work matter. Aim to allow yourself to take a break from overthinking or overanalyzing situations. As the day advances, it can be a busy and perhaps inspiring time, however. Making connections can be fruitful. You’re particularly motivated to pursue your ambitions, and you quickly draw upon facts and figures or memories that may have eluded you recently. The image you project can boost your overall progress. A generous and open-minded approach to your life brings rewards. There could be support coming from a hidden or unusual source. You want to feel that you’re growing and improving now, and you seek out activities or feedback that give you this sense. You can be seen as a real leader today and tomorrow.Sagittarius
Early today, you could feel you’re on shaky ground, dear Sagittarius, or a particular goal or pursuit seems to lose its magic temporarily as you regroup and seek inspiration. If you’re dealing with disappointments now, consider that they may direct you to something better, healthier, and more doable. As the day advances, enthusiasm builds. It shapes up to be a strong time for gaining a greater understanding of a recent problem or setback. This is a good time for friendships, networking, making connections, and partnering or negotiating matters. Others can be integral to goals that involve learning new things, gaining exciting experiences, publishing, traveling, teaching, or learning. The common denominator here is broadening your horizons. This is a time for expanding a business, idea, or relationship, and for taking something to new heights.Capricorn
Early today, you may be dealing with confusing or mixed signals, dear Capricorn, and perhaps even muddled-up instructions. However, it can serve as a reminder to get in touch with your real needs and wants, mainly related to filling your need for more imagination and magic if you’ve been keeping these needs at bay. You may need to rethink some ideas or plans. Be on the lookout for inspiration and ideas that come to you today, which comes far more easily as the day advances. Influences are heartwarming and mind-expanding at once. There can be excellent opportunities emerging through others, although mainly through work activities and research. You could stumble upon very helpful information or discover that sharing something personal with another person helps them open up. Mutual benefits come through a generous spirit. There can be an intimate moment that opens you up to new possibilities, and that inspires you. Work matters can be especially fruitful now.Aquarius
Early today, aim to be especially aware of your usual limits, dear Aquarius, since the temptation to stretch them too far can be with you. It’s best to observe rather than take action under these conditions, especially with people and money. As the day advances, a Sun-Jupiter influence comes into play, and you can make a good connection or feel supported by someone special. It’s a strong time in your life for warm, positive energy with others and for creative activities or entertainment that allows you to express yourself in new ways. Friendly gestures and communications from others lift your spirits to new heights, or you might decide to be the one to reach out to others, finding joy in inspiring or motivating others. You can find many reasons to feel encouraged and confident about the future. You feel freer, lighter, and more forward-looking, and you are incredibly charismatic.Pisces
Early today, someone might misunderstand you, dear Pisces, or expect a lot from you. It can be hard to make sense of which emotions and needs you actually own with your ability to tune into everyone else’s wants and desires. Once you do make sense of the feelings that flood your consciousness, you’ll likely discover some needs and wants that you were previously avoiding or too busy to notice! In the meantime, avoid making significant decisions based on the feelings of the moment, as they may be misleading. Fortunately, as the day advances, you might meet someone who inspires you with new ideas, and your enthusiasm builds. There can be valuable information gained concerning work possibilities or your present job. You are sending a positive message to others about your skills, integrity, or competence through your can-do attitude. Opportunities to work from home, or to reorganize and improve your home life, may arise.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
