Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You have a bigger-than-usual appetite for taking on or developing projects and interests these days, dear Aries. There can be a lot on your plate! However, you’re at a point where if you’ve been overdoing information consumption, you’ll recognize the need to pull back just a little. While it can be challenging to manage everything you want to do, your enjoyment levels will suffer if you overextend yourself, and coming to a balance can be most welcome. Idea exchanges can be helpful today, leading to more informed decisions. You might take an active interest in learning new things and connecting with others and benefit from others’ input and help. There can be some intensity around friendships again today. You could make a surprising connection or experience deeper feelings towards someone now. Aim to face any feelings of possessiveness or resentment with self-honesty. You may very well recognize a need to cut something out of your life in order to move forward with less weight. You might be able to work out something with a friend or solve a nagging problem.Taurus
You could wrestle with demands on you from others and expectations of yourself, dear Taurus. In your relationships, power dynamics or matters of ownership can figure strongly. If you’ve been going over the top, either indulging your interests or giving to others, this is a time when you might begin to take steps to restore balance. Focusing on your personal goals and values could do much more for your happiness than focusing excessively on outward signs of success or progress. Rein things in as much as possible, as simplifying now seems the best solution to problems. You are applying creative vision to your work, and it can be about feeling deeply that something has to change and improve, even if it means letting go of ideas or things that may be dragging you down. Consider ways to change your image on a professional level. If you feel that you’ve fallen behind in your work, then either enlist others’ help or make time for yourself so that there are fewer distractions to get back on top.Gemini
You’re feeling independent, and it suits you, dear Gemini, but it’s a good idea to seek a fuller picture through the eyes of another since a partner can reflect important things about yourself. If you’ve been overdoing striving for independence or freedom, this is a time for reining things in a little. Toning something down can be a powerful strategy now, and today, you’re likely to recognize what that is. With love, pleasure, and relationships, a spirit of adventure or discovery can take hold. You can feel strongly about an idea, opinion, or belief system right now. Aim to channel your passion into a worthy cause or plan. It’s, in fact, a very good time to nurture a long-term goal or plan, to think in large terms, and to feel a stronger sense of purpose, possibly through a learning program or connection. There is more intensity in your relationships today, and this can be a creative, positive energy.Cancer
You’re at a turning point where if you’ve been doing so much for others that you don’t have much energy or time for yourself, dear Cancer, it’s time to restore balance. This week is strong for power realizations and turning points. You might benefit from drawing limits and establishing boundaries, both with others and yourself. You’ll see the value in making compromises and seeking a better work-life balance. Your love nature runs deeper today, and transits deepen your understanding or sense of purpose. It can be a great time for pooling your resources or combining your talents with someone — the emphasis is on merging! Zeroing in on problem areas comes naturally, and this can point to making significant headway with projects and even close relationships. There is a tendency to stay or operate in the background, but you retain a lot of power in this position right now. You might benefit from identifying attachments that are dragging you down. It’s not a day for accepting things at face value. You’d rather challenge yourself and investigate things at a deeper level.Leo
If a conflict ensues between attention to group or friend activities and individual or romantic relationships, dear Leo, the answer may be to seek moderation. Your desire to succeed, grow, and develop both on your own and as part of a group is powerful these days. Still, you can only do so much, and you’re now at a turning point. Something has to give, and you may very well see what that is. As much as you’d like to please everyone, including yourself, there can be the need to tone things down. After all, you can’t spread yourself out too thin without something taking a hit. A close relationship or partnership also needs attention, and it can be a day for really feeling your attachments in both positive and negative ways, but also a day when a solution to problem areas can be in sight. You might even see that the challenges you face with others seem to stir getting in touch with your own potential. There may be a significant meeting, realization, or conversation that pushes you in the right direction. Ask questions, dig a little more deeply than you usually do, and observe reactions, both yours and others.Virgo
Jupiter has encouraged you to reach a little further with goal-setting or your career this year, dear Virgo. On the other hand, the current Sun cycle wants you to shine in your personal life and with family or the home. As much as you’d like to “go hard” in both areas, you realize that you won’t do either well if you exhaust yourself trying to do too much. You’re at a turning point. Similarly, if you’ve expected too much from a project or venture, it is time to make some adjustments. You cannot achieve perfection with divided attention, but you are not willing to, nor should you, put all of your eggs into one basket. Look for ways to balance things. You can be motivated to improve things today. Researching new methods can be in focus, or you might come across information that helps you out or gives you an edge or extra confidence. You are finding many reasons to love life, and much of this revolves around a desire to explore or research it more deeply, to rid yourself of negative habits, and to attend to and transform your health. You are also quite ambitious or motivated to better organize your daily affairs and schedules. However, if you are feeling dissatisfied with your current work, schedules, or state of mind/health, then you can certainly feel this more powerfully today. Fortunately, this discontent can be a powerful motivator to make changes.Libra
Areas where you’ve been going too hard now are evident or even feel burdening, dear Libra, as you reach a turning point. Consider that restoring balance by streamlining will benefit you since juggling too many things can lead to a feeling of burnout. Try to release pressure to overdo. It’s not about ending things but rather slowing down enough to get things right. You seem to shine by expressing yourself creatively today. It’s a great time to focus on something that you take particular pride in. You feel more confident and comfortable in your skin. At the same time, the day holds some intensity. It’s a great time to really get to the bottom of frustrations or resentments, and relationships can be strongly involved with this. Simply acknowledging feelings can be an important first step as self-honesty is important now. You might experience a moment of truth, as well as motivation to kick a bad habit and live a freer, more joyful life as a result. The desire to create something special and unique can be strong and motivating.Scorpio
You can have a strong urge to prove yourself, go it alone, make your mark, and succeed as you do these days, dear Scorpio. Still, merging your resources or talents with others can also be very rewarding. Someone’s involvement or support may clash with recent urges to make your mark or boost your self-worth, and you might reach a turning point. It’s time to test the waters and acknowledge the need to compromise and avoid excess. Instead, it may be about borrowing or spending, and you recognize it’s now time to take steps to wind down, relax, and reflect. Also today, you might come into the resources or motivation to improve your domestic world in some meaningful way. As you feel more comfortable with your inner world, you might arrive at a good place to understand your past or deeper feelings. You truly need to look deep within at your attachments in order to grow and improve. Seeing things in extremes is possible now, but this could be helpful on some level if it motivates you to eliminate excess or unnecessary things and processes that have been weighing or slowing you down.Sagittarius
You can be quite enthusiastic about a special interest or a creative project, dear Sagittarius, and the urge to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is strong. If you’re facing opposition to your plans, aim to extract the lesson from the experience. There can be much focus on, and possibly obsession with, your ideas or special interests today. Transits support making progress on a project you feel passionately about or for things that require persuasion. Being persistent is good, but insistent may be too much. Fortunately, you seem to instinctively know where to draw the line right now. You are not afraid of getting into uncomfortable territory, but it may be more productive if you find something, whether it’s a topic project or idea, that you can pursue independently. Even so, you’re also quite magnetic and can devise creative ways to get what you want.Capricorn
You want to shine in your work, routines, and health pursuits these days, dear Capricorn. At the same time, there’s a strong pull towards rest and dealing with private matters or emotional needs. You want to grow your work, improve your health, and get the rest and time for reflection that you need, but there’s only so much time in a day! Doing it all grandly isn’t feasible, and the signal to tone things down comes around now at this turning point. Spreading yourself thin will not serve you well in the long run, so aim for a compromise. Fortunately, it’s a good day to feel you have more tools for solving problems. You have more concern for your future security and what you’d like to build to achieve long-term comfort goals, and your material desires can be powerful! Narrowing your focus can be useful since tuning out distractions can make you more productive. You can be a little obsessed with finding ways to develop your talents, business, and resources. You’re willing, ready, and interested. You could be motivated to improve due to a situation that is uncomfortable at first — possibly a feeling of jealousy or lack, for example. However, if you can use this energy to turn things around, you can make some nice progress.Aquarius
You’re at a turning point where you recognize it’s best to keep your larger goals in mind as you pursue your more pleasurable pursuits, dear Aquarius. If there’s been a conflict between attention to a friend or group activities and a romantic relationship, individual pursuit, or children, or if you are wondering whether to go something alone or with others, it’s best to consider ways to reach a compromise. Feelings can be intense and passionate today, and this can motivate you to make changes. You seek more meaning and purpose in your life, and if you’re unhappy with how things are going, the discomfort with the situation is in the spotlight today! Fortunately, you have all the tools you need to turn things around. A new goal, good conversation, or news can be part of this. While you may be getting along quite fine with others today, you may find the most satisfaction from setting your own pace.Pisces
Transits today have a way of pointing out imbalances, dear Pisces. For example, if you’ve spent too much time absorbed in your personal life, you may now see the need to tone things down so you can reach out more often. You also want to shine in your professional life or move out of your comfort zone and take a few risks, but it’s not always easy to go all out in both areas without spreading things too thin. Aim to cut back on excess or adjust plans if you’ve been overshooting–it’s a great time to do so. After all, you’ll enjoy yourself more fully if you moderate and balance your life. Fortunately, resolving differences comes especially naturally through conversation or further thought. Memories or dreams are motivating and can give you new insight on a situation. You can be especially preoccupied today, particularly with people or situations from your past. There may be some intensity, perhaps revolving around a secret or private matter.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
