Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
At times today, you may be battling wild impulses, dear Aries. Whether you fight them off or give in to them, there is a need to keep perspective now. Feelings of being restricted may be at the heart of sudden desires and whims. Disruptions or discontent can help reveal areas of your life needing refreshment and change–or perhaps matters that should be left behind. Life could be a little more chaotic than usual, but there are lessons to learn, mainly through others. A twist of sorts may keep you on your toes, or you are discovering or rediscovering desires and interests. Insight into your finances or intimate, inner life can happen now. The Moon spends the day in your sign, further exciting your senses and amplifying your emotions.Taurus
You’re in a pleasant cycle for one-to-one relationships, dear Taurus. With Venus opposite Uranus today, you can be torn between needing someone’s company, feedback, or approval and wanting to go your own way and act independently. There can be some emotional impulsiveness to manage, and while this sometimes does work in your favor, it has mixed results if you are reacting rather than acting from your heart. You might view yourself and your relationships (or a partner) in a new way now. Changes may be necessary for your growth, and this transit has a way of stirring the pot just enough to see this. Try to discern between true, honest desires and mere whims. The Moon spends the day in your solar twelfth house, and tit’s best to prioritize rest and relaxation at this time of the lunar month.Gemini
While today is excellent for better understanding your needs, dear Gemini, getting to that point can take trial and error. You don’t readily accept it if people or situations seem to be trying to pin you down or if you feel caged in today. While you could be tempted to throw something away or break free, you might wait for things to blow over before you make impactful decisions. With Venus opposite Uranus, you can feel particularly bothered by situations that don’t quite represent you or feel you’ve outgrown. Strive for improved or innovative approaches and methods. For best results, aim to be flexible in the face of changes, particularly in your daily affairs or with your work. Think up new ways to feel free as you meet your responsibilities.Cancer
While today brings good energy for applying yourself to your work or chores, dear Cancer, the day advances with some unpredictability on social levels. A Venus-Uranus transit can help you free up some creative energy if you’ve been in a rut, but it can throw you off-center temporarily. Part of you may want to experiment, or you need to deal with others who seem to be doing their own thing without much regard for your feelings on the matter. In truth, you may not know whether you want to be close to someone or prefer some space at the moment. Emotions can be up and down, which may very well lead to mixed signals. Expect the unexpected today and avoid making quick decisions about matters that require more thought and consideration. If you feel caged in, look for non-disruptive ways to feel free and independent. Today’s energies are exciting on the one hand but perhaps over-stimulating on the other.Leo
Changes now can have a way of pulling up unacknowledged needs, dear Leo, as Venus and Uranus head into opposition. Comfort seems pitted against independence or freedom, and it may be best to adapt to interruptions rather than fight them. Nevertheless, this transit can stir some restless feelings, with areas where you’ve felt in a rut or restricted in stronger focus. Displays and reactions are possible. Uncertainties about your work situation or your general direction in life can now impact your relationships. Especially if you feel your current work or reputation no longer fits or represents you, you can feel some tension. Expect the unexpected today rather than cling tightly to your schedules. The Moon spends the day in your spirit sector, boosting your mood and outlook.Virgo
You tend to clash with others regarding opinions and ideas today, dear Virgo, as Venus heads into opposition with Uranus. Incoming news can push you in a new direction, or you gain a perspective that opens new worlds for you, and there can be an epiphany involved. This transit can stir up all sorts of feelings. If you’ve felt too caged in, pampered, or stagnant in your studies and relationships, you’ll want to do something to change it now. You may need to go through a mini-rebirth in these areas to keep things fresh or help release some creativity. While this can pull you out of a rut, it’s best not to take things to the extreme. Aim instead to feel frustration and see how things are when everything has boiled over. There is some volatility to the day, and plans may go awry, but you can also learn a lot about what you truly need.Libra
With your ruler, Venus, heading into opposition with Uranus, dear Libra, be open to making positive changes and improvements while avoiding sudden moves. You might discover new methods or things that excite you, but it’s best not to do so too quickly. The more innovative or unusual, the more you’re attracted! Your enterprising spirit is vital right now, and it’s relatively easy to get riled up regarding your possessions, money, comfort, or any disarray involving these things. Someone could oppose you, or schedule changes send you in a new direction. There could also be a surprise in the intimacy department. Think outside of the box since anything too ordinary or mundane will only serve to frustrate you today. Circumstances may seem to force a change if you’ve been clinging too tightly to habits and things. The key is to control quick impulses and keep your mind open to things that will benefit you or lighten your load. Make room for your intuition to fully engage.Scorpio
The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, dear Scorpio, and you have a strong need to get on top of your routines. A Venus-Uranus opposition involving your sign complicates things, however. With Venus in your sign these days, you may be looking for closeness, but today, others seem unreliable or unavailable. Or, a significant someone could be reactive or rebellious when you prefer to keep things status quo. Avoid jumping too quickly to conclusions. There can be an unusual attraction or desire that comes on suddenly. Even so, you may learn something new about yourself and your needs through disruptions or chaos. Activities that allow you more creative or spontaneous expression might help you channel the tremendous creative energy you are experiencing now. Transits today can remind you of the importance of developing your independence rather than allowing yourself to be at the mercy of others’ moods.Sagittarius
The Moon in your sector of joy all day can boost your desire to enjoy yourself, dear Sagittarius. The day’s energies can be temperamental in spots, requiring more attention to freedom and space. Venus heads into opposition with Uranus, and while changes in your schedule can be chaotic, valuable new directions or methods can emerge from the disruptions. You can feel quite comfortable in a reflective state, but today’s transits can jolt you out of the background if you’ve been escaping rather than simply resting. There can be an unpredictable feel to this transit, and adjustments may be in order. Ideally, interruptions steer you along a different path that ends up serving you well, perhaps even pulling you out of a rut. If you’ve stagnated, this can be a time to release some creativity and do something a little differently.Capricorn
With Venus moving into opposition with Uranus, dear Capricorn, you can be a little less tolerant of situations that seem to confine or bore you today, particularly on creative and social levels. There can be some unreliability to deal with, distractions, or changes of heart–you may need to expect the unexpected. Identify which areas of your life have become too routine or predictable, and then consider possible updates and adjustments that can benefit you. It’s not a time to stubbornly hold onto what’s familiar. In the middle of all of this, it’s best not to make sweeping permanent decisions, but it’s a great time to identify patterns that no longer work for you. Consider that feelings emerging today may be a symptom of the need for change, and it’s better to be in charge of it all, ready to steer.Aquarius
Today’s Moon stirs your curiosity, dear Aquarius. While it’s not an ideal time for focusing, it’s suitable for opening up to new ideas. As the day advances, a Venus-Uranus opposition comes into play, reminding you of the need to change areas of your life that have become too predictable. A progressive and innovative approach is called for right now, but try not to push it too hard or take it too far for the best results. Aim to be flexible, especially since changes of plans or unpredictability in others can figure strongly now. Part of you is itching for a change of pace, but you need to recognize this within yourself to avoid stirring up conflicts without scratching the surface of your discontent. Identify what’s making you restless and make a small change, which can be empowering. In fact, this transit can awaken you to a need for new approaches and spirit refreshers, and you may find it quite exciting to discover it all!Pisces
You have the urge for more stability today, dear Pisces, with the Moon in your solar second house all day. Still, a Venus-Uranus opposition is coming into play, and it can pull up strong and perhaps rebellious feelings. Patience and attention may be short, or you might pull away from situations that feel too limiting. Changes can bring fresh air into your life, pointing you in the direction of new interests, even if, at first, they seem unwelcome! News or a change of plans can set you on a new train of thought or path. Aim to be flexible and keep your mind open to minimize frustrations. Avoid abrupt moves for best results. It’s best to take small steps toward bringing back more excitement into your life if you are frustrated with current conditions.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
