Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Your life is busy these days, dear Aries, but with the Sun moving into your privacy sector for approximately a month, a period of more rest, reflection, and review is upon you. It’s a period of tying up loose ends and finishing up old matters. If you’ve taken on too many tasks, this is a time for paring down. If there’s something that is no longer working for you, you’ll also see it more clearly in the weeks ahead. It’s the end of the solar year, and you can benefit from some extra time to yourself or relative anonymity. Healing, relaxing activities are helpful now, particularly if you’ve gotten yourself into a state of overload. The Sun will influence this sector until March 20th, and until then, you have a greater need for a break from competitive energies or demanding situations. Today’s Moon-Mars alignment encourages acting on your feelings, particularly if you’re craving more security, comfort, and stability.Taurus
There is a stronger focus on responsibilities, performance, or career these days, dear Taurus. However, the Sun moves into your social sector today, and some of your focus shifts towards happiness goals. This new month-long cycle encourages you to connect and get in touch with your most cherished goals, dreams, and ideals. You can be in demand with friends or associates, and the weeks ahead bring more sociable, experimental, and hopeful energy into your life. Mars in your sign is another signal that things are lively for you. Sharing visions with others gives you a boost, and you get more satisfaction than usual when your actions positively impact others. You can feel motivated to contribute to your community or simply to reach out to others more often. Putting your ego aside to better mix with others and work in teams adds much to your success right now. The Sun will influence this sector until March 20th. Today, you’re likely to discover that your initiative and courage are strong.Gemini
You’re paying more attention to feeding your spirit and sense of adventure these days, dear Gemini. However, the Sun moves into your career and reputation sector today, bringing a new theme to your life that shifts some of your attention to work, performance, long-term goals, or responsibility. It’s a period of increased visibility and accountability, lasting until March 20th. Making changes to long-term goals or focusing on achieving existing goals can be in focus now. It’s a time to shine! Your motivation to succeed is likely to strengthen. In the coming month, the Sun encourages you to play by the rules more carefully, fill your responsibilities, and nurture your ambitions. Today, the Moon’s meeting with Mars keeps you active or your private life animated. Discoveries about your inner world can be exciting and motivating.Cancer
With the Sun’s move into your solar ninth house for the coming month, you have a taste for adventure in some form, whether physical or mental, dear Cancer. You might seek ways to broaden your horizons and your understanding of the world, looking for truths and answers to the bigger life questions. It’s a time to entertain your ideas for the future and get a larger perspective or overview of your life. There tend to be fewer obstacles in your way, in general. This transit has the effect of pulling you out of your shell. This is a time for reaching beyond your usual limits, boundaries, and routines in order to experience and learn new things. You embrace new ways of looking at problems as you’re tired of old rules, routines, and information. Today, there can be an exciting or animated quality to your social life. Networking stimulates all sorts of feelings, or you’re putting more energy into long-term plans and happiness goals.Leo
The Sun enters your solar eighth house today, where it will transit until March 20th, dear Leo. In the weeks ahead, you’re likely to have a stronger drive to understand life’s mysteries, your inner dynamics, or the meaning of your relationships. Power plays between you and others could be an issue, but you can also rise above them and instead find ways to increase your level of intimacy with a partner or yourself. You’re now paying more attention to your private world, and you tend to seek a little more intensity from life than usual. You might dive deep into your projects, relationships, and endeavors. In a general sense, you’re inclined to strategize and plan rather than jump into action during this cycle. Investigating, researching, playing detective, and analyzing are all favored now. Today, the Moon aligns with Mars in your solar tenth house, fueling the desire to strive toward a goal. You’re likely to feel quite ambitious and ready to take the lead today.Virgo
The Sun moves into your partnership sector today, dear Virgo, and will stick around until March 20th. It’s a fine time to understand your relationship needs more fully. Energetically, though, this is not ideal, but you’re also gaining important perspective. You take more pride in how you get along with others and find harmony and balance in your personal environment. It may sometimes feel like others are directing your life, but to relate well with other people, a strong sense of self is vital. You need to know what you want and what you’re prepared to give. Still, you’re more willing than usual to adjust and adapt to the needs of others, and your listening skills are improved. Today, activities and learning can be very productive and invigorating.Libra
The Sun’s move into your solar sixth house today brings a new theme of work and health into your life for the coming month, dear Libra. You’re prouder of your services, work, or self-care programs, making this a great time to step up your game. It’s a time to dig deep into the details of your life, solve problems, and get your life in order in key ways. You’re particularly good at adjusting to life’s circumstances and making small changes that help you get on track in the weeks ahead. The Sun will influence this sector until March 20th. Watch for over-thinking things, as nervous energy only carries you for so long before you are no longer productive. Aim to connect with the value of the work you do or the services you provide now. Today, you’re likely to connect with a strong desire or drive, and you benefit from pouring extra attention into a pet project, interest, or research.Scorpio
The Sun begins its transit of your solar fifth house today, dear Scorpio, and will influence this area of your chart until March 20th, bringing out your more playful, outgoing qualities. There’s a stronger focus on fun, pleasure, and expression in the weeks ahead. You might renew special projects or explore new avenues for self-expression and entertainment. You’re likely to take a stronger interest in your creative and romantic pursuits, and you’re investing more of your pride and energy than usual into these areas of life. Heartfelt pursuits are in high focus now. As you leave a somewhat insular period behind, you can feel quite liberated. Today, you might seek inspiration or vitality through your experiences with others.Sagittarius
The Sun begins its transit of your family and home sector today, dear Sagittarius, where it will stay until March 20th. This transit stimulates a stronger need for activities revolving around the home, or it’s about centering yourself and get in better touch with your fundamental needs and wants. It’s a time for enjoying quieter and perhaps emotionally safer activities. You’re transitioning into a more comfortable phase, when familiarity tends to win over variety, although you’ll still be active on a mental/social level, just less so. Domestic and personal matters are prominent themes now. It’s a time of the year to take care of your fundamental needs and seek emotional sustenance before branching out. Today, with the Moon in your solar sixth house meeting Mars there, getting things done helps free up your mind.Capricorn
The Sun moves into your communications sector for a month-long stay, dear Capricorn. In the weeks ahead, you crave more connection with the world around you. Your curiosity is bigger than usual, and your need for mental stimulation motivates a lot that you do. You might frequently be on the go, even if this is figuratively speaking, and that while you’re not always focused and concentrating, you’re branching out and learning a lot in the process. You may be motivated to express yourself more clearly in your communications and more excited to share your ideas and opinions. This can be a busy period when daily life demands a lot from you and you’re putting your feelers out, gathering intel. Transits today bring desires and passions to the surface. There can be extra sizzle in a love relationship or excitement in your creative world.Aquarius
The Sun moves into your resources sector where it will stay until March 20th, dear Aquarius, and life is about settling in and making yourself both comfortable and secure. The weeks ahead are good for taking charge of your finances and valuables, but it’s also a unique period for recognizing your own value. Working on honing natural talents or drawing upon them to advance your goals is favored now. The focus is on building and laying down firm foundations. You’re taking stock of what you have and need. This month-long transit encourages patience and thinking in the long term. Ideally, you’ve gained some confidence in the last few weeks, and you’re now ready to focus on developing what you have and earning what you deserve. Today’s transits spark a fresh spirit and excitement in your personal life. The desire for more satisfaction is strong, and you’re ready to put your plans in motion. Once you figure out a productive channel for it all, you can get a lot done.Pisces
The Sun moves into your sign today, dear Pisces, and will stick around until March 20th. In the coming weeks, you can feel quite independent, and you’re quick to take the initiative. You’re interested in putting yourself out there, and you might play with a new look, style, or image. You’re more decisive and reactive. You hold the power to make resolutions and changes that truly improve your life. You’ve spent many days contemplative and perhaps in the background in significant ways, and while enlightening, the motivation to get up and go may have been lacking. You are regaining your initiative now. Breaking with the past in some way right now is appropriate with the Moon’s alignment to Mars today, and the Sun freshly in your sign.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
