Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You can feel quite motivated to bring order or harmony to your home or personal life, dear Aries, with the Moon in your solar fourth house all day. It might not be easy getting over frustrations, but allowing them to motivate you to make changes or put an irritating situation behind you can be productive. While clearing the air may seem to be what you need, there’s a tendency to be too defensive to make much progress, so waiting it out may be best. This Moon transit wants you to relax, recoup energy, and settle some issues before pressing forward. While you do need some time to yourself, a Mercury-Node connection today suggests you might make some meaningful connections. You have a strong desire to know that your future is relatively secure, and achieving your goals will satisfy you in the long run. Information can be in the offing that supports your finances or current business interests.Taurus
You’re curious and drawn to mentally engaging activities again today, dear Taurus, but you find it hard to attend to all your needs and desires. Keep in mind that rushing through your tasks will more than likely lead to mistakes and disagreements with today’s Moon-Mars opposition. Get in better touch with your true desires before taking action. Still, today is strong for communicating in warm, positive ways. You are especially protective of people you care about and might show your affection through your guidance or instruction. There can be news or incoming information about courses and opportunities that are likely to benefit you.Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your solar second house, dear Gemini, and you can feel pleasantly patient with this influence. Comfort needs assume special importance. Tensions can build regarding boundaries, money, power dynamics, or respect. Attractions can be intense today, but you can also feel unsatisfied if you sense you’re out of balance. It’s best to avoid impulsive moves until you have a better understanding of your needs. You might make a useful connection with someone through a heart-to-heart or lending an ear. Certain conversations and connections deserve your undivided attention today. A discussion about private issues, a secret, or a matter of the past can be significant and perhaps even liberating on some level.Cancer
Today’s Moon is in your sign, and you’re in the spotlight, dear Cancer. Differences and problem areas are in strong focus, however, and it may not be easy to see around them. You may need to get something off your chest. You are inclined to go your own way, but you also seek acknowledgment from others, which is complicated. Today is another day for learning something important by observation. Friendships or information circulating today seem to support your growth, which feels right. You might gain clarity through a conversation or a chance connection with a friend. Aim to focus as much as you can on positive mental stimulation.Leo
The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, dear Leo, and you’re taking a step back from the usual activity. It’s best to aim for balance as much as possible. You can undoubtedly feel torn with the Moon’s opposition to Mars, but getting in touch with true needs and wants should probably be a priority. Remind yourself that you need some breathing room. Still, transits might connect you with people or information that further your career or health goals. This can be a time for gaining increased clarity about a life-path objective, project, or job that feels like growth and improvement.Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Virgo, and you seek some relaxed and easygoing activities. While you may want to push ahead with personal plans, you could encounter resistance today. There can be some feelings of unrest, and it would be wise to sort out frustrations. You may vacillate between wanting to do something independently and wanting others’ involvement. Aim to take note of some of the information coming your way, as something can trigger a good, creative idea. There can be an exciting connection made with information or a person that illuminates your way on a creative, educational, or romantic pursuit. Someone may seek your guidance, and you feel great about helping.Libra
The Moon spends the day in your responsibility sector, dear Libra, and you’re in a productive, goal-oriented frame of mind today and tomorrow. A Moon-Mars opposition later today can trigger frustrations working under the surface of things. Ideally, it helps you deal with a problem area, but watch for doing so impatiently. Otherwise, the day holds easy energy for connections to people who help you feel comfortable or who have a reassuring effect on you. Instead, relationships with current friends or acquaintances can improve, mainly through conversations or kind words. Family or the desire to enhance home life can be at the heart of your goals. Links can be with people or information pointing you in the right direction. You have a greater feeling of well-being as a result.Scorpio
The Moon encourages your lighter, more spontaneous side today, dear Scorpio. This transit is not only about escaping the ordinary, but it’s about expanding your experiences or your mind. A Moon-Mars opposition later today can find you getting worked up with a tense environment, so aim to focus and center yourself as much as possible. Ideas are exciting, and you could make a connection that helps you put ideas into action. You may learn something valuable about a friendship or special project, so be sure to open up the lines of communication. You’re drawing upon inspiration, and the information coming into your world today contributes to this.Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in your sector of shared resources, dear Sagittarius, and you’re more observant than usual, seeing layers of situations that escaped your notice in the past. You crave a deeper approach or a feeling of connection. A passing whim may be seductive, or you could find yourself spinning your wheels. In truth, the tension created now can spur you on and motivate you. You could be determined to resolve an emotional or private matter. There may be an exciting intimate encounter or discovery, but it’s all too easy to work at cross purposes with someone. Transits later today tend to inflame money, business, or ownership matters, and the focus on complicated emotions can interfere with your productivity. Ideally, you learn a lot if you take on an observer’s role. The day holds promise for information that will help you further your work goals.Capricorn
With the Moon in your opposite sign all day, and you’re inclined to seek out balance in your life, dear Capricorn. This likely involves giving special attention to the needs or agendas of important people in your life. Mars continues to transit your sign, encouraging your independent, pioneering side, but today’s Moon stimulates a strong need for companionship. Finding a balance may be challenging, and others might seem to arouse defensiveness in you. However, consider that they may be showing a side of yourself or your unmet needs through your interactions. Emotions may leave you feeling stuck in a state of frustration or discontent at times today, but with a patient approach, you’ll learn more about your desires and attachments. Fortunately, you can get a sense of renewal regarding your feelings about a matter or better understand your dreams.Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your sector of work and routines, dear Aquarius, highlighting your daily affairs and desire to be useful. While it can be a good period of the lunar month for getting your life straightened out in small ways, there can be quite a bit of pressure or tension involved that ends up detracting from productivity later today. You don’t have to ignore your motivation to set things right, but it’s a good idea to do what you can to pace yourself. Passions tend to rise even though you prefer to keep things even and smooth. As much as you’d like to take care of business and get things in order, the things you haven’t done or unsettled matters can interfere. Feeling overwhelmed tends to keep you in limbo, so aim to focus on one thing at a time. In your downtime today, you may very well get the chance to understand someone or yourself more deeply.Pisces
The Moon in your creative sector brings more light to your personality, dear Pisces. This is a good day for relaxing recreation or other forms of rejuvenation. Expressing yourself and sharing can be a strong draw. However, sensitivity on a social level can lead to quick reactions, which can heat things up later today. Getting things out into the open can be purging, but today’s energies tend to encourage sloppy approaches, and you might decide that waiting to address issues is for the best. You may need to rely on others who are not necessarily seeing eye to eye with you. Still, interactions may end up revealing hidden desires.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
