Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
There can be a minor clash of values with someone or indecision to manage today, dear Aries, particularly regarding long-term goals or career matters. It’s unlikely you have all the information you need to make a firm or final decision, so wait things out if you can. If you feel some discontent with how your life is organized at this time, it may be difficult to know where to start sorting it out. However, an opportunity can emerge to see things in new ways with the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sector of spirit and higher thought. Thoughts might turn to the past or recent decisions and plans, and your new take on a situation is helpful! The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring and enlightening. Issues related to education, transportation, beliefs, or publishing can be in stronger focus, and you can do a lot of reviewing and analyzing. What you read and hear about today can be invaluable for future projects or inspire new thinking and ideas that have the power to stick with you for some time to come. This can be a time of drawing upon your experience and creating something new from it or seeing new layers of a situation you previously overlooked.Taurus
There can be some difficulties getting your message across in spots today, dear Taurus. Watch for overanalyzing or intellectualizing your feelings in such a way that you misrepresent yourself. Don’t pull your hair out if solutions to problems are not immediately apparent, aiming to wind yourself down if you feel that you’re getting worked up over trivial matters. While it’s quite likely you’ll need to deal with mixed messages and minor irritations or delays, you can get the chance to enjoy a new perspective on a matter. The things you read and hear about this week can benefit future projects, even if you have yet to see their full significance. It can be a time to draw upon experience and create something new from it. Thoughts might turn to the past or recent decisions and plans, but you’re looking at things in a new light, which can be very helpful. The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring and entertaining. It’s a time to let your thoughts flow, but perhaps be a little more mindful of what you say with the Sun aligned with retrograde Mercury. You gain new insight into a past relationship or your own psyche. If you’re a little self-absorbed now, it may very well be a valuable exercise. You’re likely to gain a big clue or further information on a matter, but it’s not yet time for a conclusion.Gemini
There’s some tendency for people to take things the wrong way or too personally at times today, dear Gemini. Feelings and logic can sometimes mix in all the wrong ways, to the point that we either speak too emotionally or relate too intellectually or logically. Unrest with others can figure strongly in this, especially if you sense insincerity. You may not be in close touch with how you truly feel so that it’s better not to try to explain your feelings until you truly know what they are. With a little extra thought put into how questions are phrased and the tone of conversations, life tends to smooth over. In fact, there can be an opportunity to see new layers of a situation. Illumination about a relationship matter can be most significant. You might look at a matter or person from the past in a new way with the Sun’s alignment with retrograde Mercury, marking the midpoint of the retrograde cycle. You won’t have all the facts or answers right now, but this is a time for some solid rethinking of matters. Seeing both sides of a situation helps round out your thinking, ultimately leading to better decisions. Counseling and advice can be in focus and helpful. There can be a meaningful conversation with a partner, or someone’s feedback can make all the difference in your life today.Cancer
There can be discrepancies between true feelings and what’s communicated today, dear Cancer. You might decide not to speak about your feelings before you truly know what they are. You may be trying to push the envelope today, which can be a good thing if you want to take something further. Use this time to find answers to problems rather than entertain negative or suspicious thoughts. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your work and health sector, it’s a good idea to approach problems from a different angle. This transit helps you see some of the details of your life you previously missed. You might gain meaningful insight into a work, chore, or health issue. Consider that ideas born now can have great significance later. Still, it’s better to think about what you can do to improve and tweak current projects and ideas than to start all-new ones, but your thinking along these lines is creative. You’re learning much about what you’re getting from your work and daily routines or health routines, and news that points you in the right direction can arrive. It’s a turning point of sorts, moving you from a state of indecision to increased clarity, although your path is not yet fully illuminated.Leo
As long as you don’t absorb others’ tension, and focus instead on what you’d like to accomplish, dear Leo, you should have a fine day. Indeed, you can enjoy an opportunity to find new ways of getting your message across that are perhaps a little non-traditional but very satisfying. Reviewing old ideas can lead to new methods that can be very important in the coming months. This might also involve renewed “old” opportunities, as someone from your past could reappear or a past issue might wrap up. Whether this happens in your thoughts or in the flesh, it’s helpful and serves a useful purpose. You’re coming across with a bit of mystery that works in your favor. Today’s conversations or ideas can serve as significant turning points, but consider that you don’t yet have the full story. Your attitude about future growth and improvement is evolving as the Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury. Further information or an epiphany about a creative or romantic matter can figure strongly.Virgo
You may be feeling especially passionate about something or someone today, dear Virgo, and if you channel this intensity constructively, this can be a strong time for important research or progress on a project. Watch that you don’t waste energy on negative thinking or dwelling on problems that you have no power to change. The Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury in your solar fourth house today, but while the Sun is pushing ahead in this sector of your chart, Mercury is on its way backward. This aspect encourages you to want to make sense of matters from the past. You’re in great shape for some exploring, as ideas that result from today’s musings and communications can have long-term importance. You might gain a new understanding of a past, home, or family matter. It’s nevertheless best to observe, take notes, and muse rather than lock something down–there’s more to come as a story evolves.Libra
With the Sun and retrograde Mercury meeting today, dear Libra, you might revive an old interest or view a current one in a new light. Ideas generated now, especially about learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings, can be especially significant. They could kickstart a long-term pursuit or lead you in an important new direction. While this can be a turning point, it may be best to postpone big launches until more information completes the picture since Mercury is still retrograde. As we’re in the middle of the retrograde Mercury cycle, there can be more to an evolving story. For now, it’s a great time to observe, get a feel for a matter, and take notes! Your advice to someone can be sought and appreciated, or you might discover a lost or overlooked detail that changes things. There can be helpful discussions about the past or tricky topics.Scorpio
You might see the details that aren’t working more than the systems that are in spots today, dear Scorpio. This can be helpful if you use it constructively. In fact, it can be a very productive day when problem-solving skills are emphasized. Still, it’s probably best not to complicate matters by juggling too much. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sector of money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions, pay special attention to ideas coming in now. They can be significant! Whether they emerge from within or outside of you, something falls into place, and it can feel magical. It’s a time for seeing a matter in a new light, and benefits come from doing so. Not everything is likely to make sense, as is often the case with new beginnings, but what emerges from conversations and musings now can be significant later.Sagittarius
There’s a small tendency for certain others to misunderstand some of the things you say today, dear Sagittarius, so strive to be as clear as possible. Do encourage the investigator and detective in you, as today requires a deeper analysis, and you are particularly skilled at getting to the bottom of things. You look at issues in a new light now as the Sun and retrograde Mercury meet in your sign. You’re sure to arrive at interesting conclusions and insights as you take stock of recent events and draw upon your experience and past for ideas. You are especially “heard” today and generally received well, but with more impact and Mercury still retrograde, you may want to take special care when communicating. Something that appears to go over swimmingly may end up a misunderstanding. Aim to clear out the mental clutter to make room in your mind for positive thoughts and new ideas. After all, your observations can lead to significant and long-term improvements. It can also be a time when you rethink a matter that has been weighing you down.Capricorn
A powerful conversation that might feel uncomfortable at first can actually be healing, dear Capricorn. With today’s alignment between the Sun and retrograde Mercury, you can get meaningful insights into your innermost feelings, the past, or a long-term problem. This Sun-Mercury meeting occurs in the area of your solar chart that rules karma and all that is hidden or under wraps. You’re receiving interesting clues from your impressions and dreams. How to let go of bad attitudes or situations is clearer with today’s transits. There could be a secret revealed or an epiphany that leads you to view old problems or a past matter in a very telling new light. The information you come across today can be significant for putting something behind you. Private time can be particularly helpful if you can manage it. Consider that while you’re at a turning point, Mercury is only partway through its retrograde cycle, and there is more to learn, process, and reveal as you advance.Aquarius
Unusual and possibly tricky situations with friends or acquaintances can occur today, dear Aquarius. You could feel a strong desire to micromanage things or to be in control of situations that probably should be given some space! Try your best not to get into power plays. The Sun meets with retrograde Mercury in your sector of social connections, dreams, and hopes today, and this configuration can stir important thinking, news, or conversations. These, in turn, can give you powerful insight into recent events, decisions, or problems. It can be illuminating! These revelations can relate to friends, projects, and relationships. Consider that, with current transits, you’re especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s communicated right now. You’re gathering valuable information, and it’s a great time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests or plans. While this insight is still in its new and raw stages, it puts you on the road to new beginnings.Pisces
Transits today and tomorrow tend to prompt you to review recent ideas, projects, or decisions, dear Pisces, especially about business or the longer-term plans and items. Ambitions, career, responsibilities, or reputation issues can be in focus with the Sun’s alignment to retrograde Mercury in your solar tenth house. You’re beginning to approach your direction and long-term goals in new ways that can be fruitful, leading to significant new ideas. You can get a sense of your next step or insight into particular directions you’ve been taking. Your communications have more impact than usual, and with Mercury still retrograde, it’s best to be selective with your words, keeping in mind that misunderstandings are possible. Still, your observations today can be invaluable later, even if it’s not yet the best time for major decision-making. You might struggle with simultaneous needs to perform and desires to resolve problems with friends or to analyze relationships. Or, it may be hard to agree with a friend or associate about how to move your goals forward. Breathe through disagreements and keep a reasonable distance since discussions can turn into issues fairly quickly. Try to entertain your need for easygoing activities today, as they can be emotionally refreshing.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
