Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With Chiron’s direct turn today, dear Aries, a pleasant change of pace is in store, and a realization or discovery that pushes you to take charge of your life can come now. Avoiding problems has likely been an issue in the five months of Chiron’s retrograde, but this can cause anxiety that creeps into many areas of life and subtly undermines general happiness. As you advance, you feel more confident that you can overcome insecurities that may have kept you from doing things you’ve always wanted to do. Avoid making sweeping changes today; learn from what you take in. Changes are certainly in the air, but they may not be clear until a few days from now. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, and it’s best to try to wind down, reflect, and let go instead of rev up.Taurus
With Chiron at its yearly direct station today, dear Taurus, allow yourself to feel recent hurts, as this process can lead to your determination to take charge and do something about your emotional state. Aim to go forward with fewer misconceptions and without false hopes. Watch for the temptation to skip steps today. A New Moon will occur tomorrow and will help you rise above minor problems, but because the Moon is Balsamic today, it’s a time for letting go rather than revving up. While suspending your current projects or plans is unnecessary, it’s not an ideal time to start brand-new endeavors. Today is better for unwinding and letting go of what no longer serves your purpose, such as an attitude that has kept you from thriving.Gemini
An issue with a friend might emerge today or this week with Chiron’s yearly turnaround today, dear Gemini. As you advance, you’ll feel better equipped to deal with problems than you have in recent months while Chiron was retrograde. You stand to gain much if you tackle things head-on. With Chiron, this means putting your sensitivities to good use — helping and understanding others rather than allowing insecurities to slow you down. Because a New Moon will occur tomorrow, it’s better to explore and observe than to jump to conclusions or decisions based on feelings today. It’s wise to keep things simple. You don’t want the past entirely dictating your future, so focus on letting go of what you no longer need. Concentrate on letting go and relaxing your mind instead of pushing something forward. This New Moon cycle will send you on an important inward journey.Cancer
Chiron’s yearly direct turn occurs today, dear Cancer, and strong feelings can emerge, motivating you to pursue your interests confidently. Chiron encourages you to work with your insecurities regarding your life path or direction instead of allowing them to limit you. Today’s turnaround prompts a take-charge attitude toward dealing with vulnerabilities that may have been holding you back from pursuing professional goals and interests. While the day has a bit of a rollercoaster feel, it’s better to focus on unwinding. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, and taking it easy is best. Take in, and take action later, only when it feels right. Consider ways to improve, enhance, and enjoy current relationships since tomorrow’s New Moon can point to a fresh start with partnering.Leo
Chiron turns direct today after just over five months of retrograde motion, dear Leo. Now and this week, you might encounter lessons that push you to find new and improved ways of dealing with resentment or hurt. You’re now ready to move forward rather than allow insecurities to hold you back from enjoying life. You feel better equipped mentally and emotionally to deal with issues once buried or swept under the carpet. You’re also less inclined to allow insecurities to hold you back from pursuing your desires, particularly those related to education, sharing your ideas, and speaking your mind. Do your best to take the pressure off today as this shift occurs and a New Moon is about to occur. You’re probably better off winding down than up. In preparation for the new cycle, you might envision goals related to your daily routines and health. Consider that you can experience a temporary lull in motivation before refilling with new energy.Virgo
Chiron turns direct today, dear Virgo, after just over five months of retrograde motion. There may be discoveries about feelings, resentment, or hurts operating just below the surface of things in your life. As you advance, you’ll feel increasingly better equipped to deal with them and take charge of your life. Soon, insecurities won’t have the same power to hold you back from pursuing what and who you want. With a New Moon about to occur, it’s wise to take the time to reflect and finish up projects that may interfere with your New Moon goals. Physical energy may be low today, and there can be a tendency to avoid pressures. It’s time to let go rather than build up.Libra
Chiron turns direct today after many months of retrograde motion, dear Libra. This turnaround puts you in a more active position to deal with complicated feelings as you are more willing to face them and sort them out. You might get to the bottom of an issue that was previously confusing. It’s time to consider ways to improve your connections with others, particularly a partner, in the weeks ahead. Today could be a bit too chaotic to discern how you truly feel temporarily. With a New Moon to occur tomorrow, it’s best to avoid significant launches and decision-making today, as these have little chance of sticking. Aim to conserve your energy or invest energy in the moment. Today, it is important to consider those things, including attitudes, that no longer serve you well and put them behind you.Scorpio
Chiron turns direct today after five months of retrograde motion, dear Scorpio, improving your confidence in making changes that help you heal. Daily routines, work, or health and fitness matters stand to benefit. You’re prepared to fight insecurities or use them to help or guide others rather than nurse your wounds now and in the coming months. Ideas and news may be exciting but overstimulating today. The Moon is Balsamic today, making it a good time to reflect rather than take action on all-new endeavors. Aim to do yourself a favor and find the time to catch your breath. You’re sure to have busy days ahead, but you can get to a place where you feel more in charge of your time, energy, and resources.Sagittarius
The wounded healer, Chiron, turns direct today after just over five months of retrograde motion, dear Sagittarius. This turn can lead to a personal epiphany or circumstance that pushes you to take charge of a problem area or come to an understanding of a problem. There can be some frustrations brewing today, but consider both the benefits and challenges that impulsiveness brings to your life so that you can handle the surprise elements coming your way today. Self-understanding can put you in a stronger position in the future. With a New Moon tomorrow, it makes sense to clear your head today. For now, it’s better not to make any final, important decisions or take on new ventures.Capricorn
Taking things easy and slowing your approach can work wonders for you today, dear Capricorn. Still, personal revelations can emerge today as Chiron turns direct after five months of retrograde motion. Something that you buried or neglected is likely to surface and demand attention. You’re beginning to feel more equipped to handle problems in your personal life. As well, today’s picky aspects can be distracting. We’re heading to a New Moon, and it’s best to turn inward for valuable lessons. It’s even more important for you to take stock and reflect because tomorrow’s New Moon is in your sign. Concentrate on ridding yourself of attitudes holding you back from personal success, and aim to clear your mind of distractions so that you find it easier to access your intuition.Aquarius
With Chiron turning direct after months of retrograde motion, dear Aquarius, vital truths are coming to light that can stir up all sorts of unusual or mixed feelings this week. These can lead to critical personal changes and improvements. You may be adjusting how you communicate or your mental outlook, bringing benefits your way. Today, distractions are likely, but it’s best to try to center yourself. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, making it important not to jump into something new. As well, be sure you don’t keep yourself so busy that you have no time to reflect. The Moon is Balsamic, suggesting it’s a better time for rest than innovation. Tomorrow, you start a cycle that spotlights your private life.Pisces
Chiron turns direct today after five months of retrograde motion, dear Pisces, serving as a gentle nudge to take charge of problem areas in your life. Since Chiron is in your resources sector, the prompt can relate to whether you feel proud or respected for your contributions and value. It’s also a time when money and business matters begin to move forward. You may be dealing with loose ends or settling accounts today, and while you may not feel the progress, you’re busy clearing the path for a smoother future. A New Moon will occur tomorrow; today, it makes more sense to think and process than push ahead. It’s a time for reflecting rather than jumping into action.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
