Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Early today is strong for helping people you care about understand your point of view, dear Aries, and for creative problem-solving. The day’s energies favor an open-handed approach. You are thinking of broader matters, the big picture, and new avenues for self-expression, and your thinking is particularly sharp regarding these things. However, you might feel somewhat stifled or limited by circumstances later today–people aren’t as forthcoming or receptive. Consider pulling back a little to assess your goals, particularly those related to your social life, love life, or educational pursuits. Give attention to minor problems that help free you up for more exciting times ahead.Taurus
In various ways, today is about starting fresh on an emotional level, dear Taurus, or for a renewed focus on and commitment to emotional growth. You might solve a problem or mystery and uncover an important truth. You might draw up plans, and you’re ready to overcome challenges. There can be a greater understanding of the inner workings of a relationship. Beautiful energy is with you for expressing yourself uniquely- your special appeal is particularly strong right now. You can see beauty in imperfections, and your private world can expand as a result. Later today, others may not be on the same page as you. Focus on basics that are out of whack to free yourself from guilt or doubts going forward. Today has a way of revealing problem areas and vulnerabilities, and while disappointing, it can be instructive.Gemini
Today’s energies are unique for seeing close relationships or your relationship needs in a new light, dear Gemini, particularly as your relationships reflect how you value yourself. You see things holistically, which can be valuable right now. Problem-solving that gets results in a partnership can be in the spotlight. You can be determined to put a situation that was unfair or imbalanced behind you. There can be a strong focus on evening things out or leveling the playing fields with a significant person in your life. You can come up with possible solutions for achieving more fairness and satisfaction from your relationships as you are motivated to improve things. You are particularly willing to learn from and with others. Your desire to grow is at the forefront of your mind. Even so, you might wrestle with expectations or battle waning enthusiasm in your social life later today. Because you’re more sensitive, others’ dramas can feel larger than life. Rethink your strategies, but don’t over-analyze emotions just for now.Cancer
You can be determined to improve matters regarding your health, habits, or routines today, dear Cancer. You might find a new way to perform a task or resolve a problem that improves your daily routines or health. Strengthening your relationships or a better, stronger attitude toward your daily affairs can be the key to more satisfaction now. You can bring exceptionally creative and inspired touches to what you do, or you could be intuitively drawn to a new path of healing that serves you especially well. You’re finding extra special meaning in the connections you make, even the smallest ones. Later today, people can be on the defensive, or tensions with restrictions or rules can play with your mood. You may see the downside of a situation, but this helps you weigh its pros and cons. Resolve to take a lesson from experiences encountered now, even if criticism or doubt surfaces.Leo
Today’s transits especially support creative inspiration and relationships with children or romantic partners, dear Leo. It’s a great time to make improvements. Problems are easier to solve as you look at issues as a whole rather than analyze all the details. Clearing the air is possible, although on this day before Mercury’s station, words may not be perfect! Your sense of harmony and balance is strong today, and this can help you create plans that work well in the long run. You attract others through your confidence in expressing your unique qualities. Seeing problem areas more clearly or facing truths can lead to some restructuring of activities. Uncertainty or emotional reticence can be part of the picture later today. There could be feelings of being excluded or distanced. Cooperation may not be straightforward, but you could discover that you can handle a matter just fine on your own, which is empowering. Try to focus on the positive, even in the face of some inconsistencies.Virgo
The Moon moves into your sign today, dear Virgo, and you give increased weight to your feelings as a result. You may be seeking out validation for your emotions. Regarding your home life or closest relationships, situations that have fallen out of balance demand your attention, and instead of finding them bothersome, you’re ready to make corrections and improvements! You’re also going to greater lengths to understand others and yourself, helping promote healing and growth. You’re taking a compassionate look at what needs improving, both within yourself and in your relationships. In the process, you may be more aware of difficult areas or wounded parts of your psyche, but this allows you the chance to open up and to be vulnerable, ultimately leading to healing. Later today, there can be some concerns about pleasing everyone. Aim instead to get a true sense of what you want and what you should do instead of worrying about extending yourself more than that. You might discover that you’ve been putting too much energy into something that only serves to drag you down. Adjustments are necessary if this is the case.Libra
Early today’s transits are strong for solving problems, dear Libra, particularly regarding learning, school, technology, and mechanics. You might enjoy sharing your personal insights and wisdom, help someone out, and gain a better understanding of the link between your mindset or how you communicate and your personal happiness. It comes naturally to smooth over differences, although with Mercury heading toward a station, there can be some problems left outstanding. You might nevertheless think of it as one big step towards better relationships. You have a way of presenting your more unusual or non-traditional ideas in an attractive and understandable package. Even so, energies are mixed later today as a Venus-Saturn influence comes into play and can skew your perceptions of a situation. If you’re suddenly running out of steam, it likely has to do with a temporary lack of inspiration. Fortunately, your resourcefulness helps you turn something old into something new or a negative into a positive.Scorpio
You more readily see patterns that lead to better understanding today, dear Scorpio, particularly regarding your approach to making or handling money or using your talents and resources. Problem-solving along these lines can also thrive as you see things holistically. You also see yourself and your vulnerabilities more honestly. Your desire to build and develop is strong and healthy right now. It’s a good time for new business ideas but not ideal for putting new ventures into motion, as we are only a day behind Mercury’s station. Excellent energy is with you for recognizing the need to make changes in your personal life. Later today, watch for letting far too much in at the expense of your sense of contentment. You may see areas where you’ve been restricted or lagging more clearly through current events and musings.Sagittarius
People are on board with your ideas and drawn to you for your unique understanding today, dear Sagittarius. You can find yourself fixing problems and getting things up and running smoothly again. It’s a time to recognize behaviors or patterns that you may have previously overlooked, and in so doing, you gain a far better understanding of yourself and your life–even your next steps. You want to grow, create, and learn, and you especially want to improve how you approach the world, take the lead, and present yourself. You are doing your own thing now, and people are attracted to this honesty. Later today, a Venus-Saturn square comes into play, and it highlights differences or problems, requiring some adjustments. You can be indecisive as you wrestle with conflicting needs and approaches. Criticism may arrive, but if so, you may very well bounce back in a stronger position.Capricorn
It can be a day to gain a new understanding of a complicated matter from the past, dear Capricorn, which can lead to release. You more readily see aspects of your personality and your life that you may not typically recognize or confront, providing you with a golden opportunity to see what needs work. Supporting others and volunteering or otherwise coming to someone’s aid might instead be in focus. Sharing a secret or otherwise “unburdening” can be satisfying today. Don’t be afraid to face something uncomfortable so that you can grow and move on. If you are looking for answers to nagging personal problems, you will likely find clues today. Later today, people can be harder to please, and a lack of natural flow makes it challenging to find satisfaction. Fortunately, it’s temporary, and the adjustments you make as a result can ultimately be useful to you. In fact, the more you strengthen weak areas, the easier it will be to bounce back from disappointments in the future.Aquarius
You more readily recognize areas to improve with friends and groups or your place in your community today, dear Aquarius. As you see areas that need strengthening, you get one step closer to healing and repairing your relationships and yourself. The key today is being humble with others and ready to fix things, but confident in yourself, and in your creativity and self-worth. You might connect with an old friend, or memories are stirred about old dreams or projects that you may decide to renew in the future. Whatever comes together now may not be dramatic, but it’s likely to enhance your life in subtle ways. Effective communications are not all about scoring intellectual points; today’s energies favor the human element involved. With some timing problems later today, it’s not a good time to take things to heart. Keep things simple for best results, and find ways to reduce stress. Take steps to cut back on areas where you’ve been overdoing, and it will feel good, ultimately.Pisces
Today’s strong for making connections and gaining a better understanding of your ambitions or long-term goals, dear Pisces. You feel more vital through your intimate relationships or special projects. You might decide to take care of a matter that has nagged at you for some time, and once you do, you can feel particularly relieved and less burdened. You more readily take the lead, and people more readily see your value! It’s easier to recognize old patterns or habits that could use some renovation. There can be opportunities to heal and reinvigorate yourself. Because there can be minor disappointments and energy levels can dip temporarily later today, try not to take on too much. If someone important to you seems distant or disinterested, try to detach yourself and go about your own business.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
