Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Interactions tend to trigger old problem areas with a Sun-Saturn square early today, dear Aries. Slowing down may be helpful occasionally, even if it’s a bit frustrating, and get you back on track. However, don’t push this so far that you waste too much time feeling discouraged. It’s important to pick yourself up and focus on solving problems step by step. If you face limits, the best strategy might be to consider what’s genuinely best for you in the long rather than the short term. As the day advances, and with some reflection, you can better understand where you’re heading. Emphasizing the non-material elements of a project can be a good idea as Venus and Neptune harmonize. There can be a sense of peace with the past or drawing from your inner wisdom and experience, which you might positively apply to business or relationships. You may want to make nice with others, particularly parents, bosses, or associates. It’s an excellent time to relax, let go, and move on with less baggage and stress.Taurus
You might consider whether a particular plan or endeavor needs to evolve or dissolve early today, dear Taurus. If you’re off track, it’s now time to reorient yourself. While serious energy can surround a relationship or activity, adjusting expectations as a direct result may be helpful. Today’s Venus-Neptune aspect can help, as it has a soothing effect. With this transit in play, you gravitate to activities that refresh your spirit and connections that inspire and delight you. Sharing your ideas and ideals can be rewarding, or there can be more compassion or understanding in a friendship today. You’re more interested in ideas and concepts that take you away from the expected or routine. A release from a burden can figure strongly, or you can see the positive side of a situation, and it feels great.Gemini
It’s better to focus on what’s best for you in the long term rather than seek immediate gratification today, dear Gemini. If the pressure of expectations weighs on you, consider being clear about your need for appreciation. People may forget that you need some positive feedback or encouragement occasionally. Fortunately, a Venus-Neptune transit in play helps you see situations and people in a positive light. You might run into someone unexpectedly, or there can be a chance to repair a relationship. It’s not a time for tackling the more complex issues, but it’s suitable for bonding and reaching new levels of understanding with people you care about. There can be special connections or new layers to discover in a relationship or individual. This transit helps you process and digest, and it’s a happy experience. Your reputation or professional image can improve, or you’re bringing more creativity, imagination, and idealism into your work.Cancer
Your timing may be off early today, dear Cancer, but it’s temporary. With the Sun in your solar sixth house these days, you want to express yourself through your routines, but you could feel overburdened or under-appreciated for your efforts today. Aim to meet your responsibilities so that you can get over the current hump. The chances are good that you arrive at a stronger appreciation of your ability to rely on yourself. Instead, you might choose to work on a personal priority and later return to your projects refreshed. Fortunately, a Venus-Neptune transit in play today gives you a good feeling that you’re expressing yourself in ways that are meaningful to others. Your sensitivity is attracting others now. You’re especially gracious and graceful, and others appreciate your gentleness. When others cooperate, it fuels your motivation — to do a better job, to be a better person, and to support and help others.Leo
Early today, with the Sun square Saturn, it’s simply not the time for cutting corners, dear Leo. Getting back on track may require a rest or some tweaking of expectations. If you’re feeling insecure, remind yourself that what you think you lack is probably exaggerated in your mind’s eye. Aim to improve those things you can control and forget about the rest. With a Venus-Neptune harmonious aspect also in play, you can feel moved by the idea that you’re helping and supporting others through your work, services, or practical advice. This transit helps you let things go and feel better off for it as the day advances. It encourages your imagination and your need for inspiration. Your intuition for work, research, discrepancies, and health matters is powerful. A creative approach to problems can lead to new insight and unusual but effective solutions.Virgo
Keeping things simple early today can ultimately speed things up, dear Virgo, even if it feels that you’re backtracking at the moment. Try not to take problem areas too much to heart, but do aim to patch up vulnerable spots in your life. This attitude will help strengthen you when Saturn is putting pressure on you in the future. A Venus-Neptune aspect also active today facilitates the expression of affection, compassion, and understanding. As such, you could reach an agreement or mutual understanding with someone special today. It’s an active time for attracting positive people, feelings, and experiences into your life. This is also a time to release tension and refresh your spirit, perhaps by bringing a bit of romance or imagination into your life as the day advances. Focusing on life’s positive, beautiful, and magical qualities can be therapeutic now.Libra
You could feel drained physically, and daily responsibilities can feel overwhelming early today, dear Libra. Do your best to simplify, prioritize, and keep things real. Flaws in a current project may seem magnified, but rushing to fix them may lead to a sloppy job. It can be a good time, however, for you to see problem areas that need your attention. Aim to take things one step at a time or rest and conserve energy rather than push things or yourself today. Helping with this is a Venus-Neptune transit that gently stirs your desire for harmony, beauty, and balance. You’re likely to want to apply these things to your home or work environment. Making life more comfortable and pleasing can be a goal now, especially as the day advances. This transit brings good intuition for work and money matters, and business affairs can prosper as a result, but it’s also excellent for relationships.Scorpio
Circumstances or people seem to be disapproving or unhelpful early today, dear Scorpio, as the Sun and Saturn clash. You may be left to your own resources. An apparent setback, however, may lead to a vital step concerning long-term happiness, as is often the case with transits involving Saturn, the great teacher. You’re also learning about what you need in the long run. Look for a middle ground if conflicts emerge. Also in play today is a Venus-Neptune harmonious aspect, however, and especially as the day advances, good energy is with you for recognizing and appreciating the beauty in your life and your relationships. It can be a time to refresh yourself emotionally through your connections and to seek creative inspiration. You’re in excellent condition for a pleasant interlude or gaining some perspective. Your faith in yourself can reflect outward, magnetizing good things to you.Sagittarius
You want to pursue your personal goals without feeling you’re letting someone down, dear Sagittarius. However, with the Sun square Saturn early today, someone may be disapproving, or chores and responsibilities feel more weighty than usual. The key is to be patient and practice self-discipline, seeking long-term satisfaction rather than instant gratification. Also today, a Venus-Neptune transit is in influence, and it helps soften the rough edges. You’re inclined to focus on what makes you feel comfortable and safe. You might recognize different levels and dimensions of your needs that you usually miss. Bringing harmony and balance to your family and home life can be a goal. Ideally, you find ways to fill your needs to support and be supported.Capricorn
A Sun-Saturn transit influencing the first half of the day tends to magnify flaws temporarily, dear Capricorn. You can help yourself by adjusting your speed, following rules, exercising patience, and conserving your energy by prioritizing. Avoid pushing things forward for the best results now. Also in play today is a Venus-Neptune harmonious influence, and you draw people in with your healing energy. Your gentler, more appealing qualities shine through for all to see, especially as the day advances. Warm or peaceful interactions can figure strongly, boosting your mood. Seeing the positives and beauty in the situations and people around you is easier than usual. You can benefit from sharing your ideas and inspiration, and the feedback is good.Aquarius
Others could be grumpy or critical early today, dear Aquarius, with the Sun square Saturn. The best strategy with this transit is to focus on long-term benefits and keep expectations simple. Resign yourself to making edits and adjustments rather than bold moves, and remind yourself it’s temporary. A Venus-Neptune transit softens things considerably, especially as the day advances. There can be opportunities to unwind emotionally and release tension and frustration. You are more inclined than usual to notice and appreciate the positive, beautiful, and magical side of people and situations, which can smooth over rough edges and tense feelings. While the focus tends to be intangible and spiritual levels of your life, it can also be a good time for intuition on business and financial matters. Your imagination is strong now, and if you can combine this with practical intelligence, you are in great shape.Pisces
Look for ways to maximize long-term success or happiness rather than focusing on the short term today, dear Pisces. Energy levels can be a little low early today as the Sun clashes with Saturn. If so, take time and get extra rest until strength returns. Backing down is sometimes the better strategy until strength and confidence return. Fortunately, a Venus-Neptune aspect is also in play, and especially as the day advances, positive energies are with you for forgiveness, personal attractiveness, and mending broken fences. It’s a fine time to gain some perspective on a friendship or personal matter, and making a friend or cementing a bond can figure strongly. That you don’t judge others is an especially appealing trait now. Aim to let go of negativity or tension and put it behind you.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
