Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With some tendency to blow things out of proportion today, dear Aries, aim to be balanced and discreet since things can run away from you otherwise. The desire for something new is strong, but another part of you isn’t fully prepared to explore. You may feel dissatisfied with the status quo, particularly related to your life experiences and time set aside for learning and living. It’s a good time to explore your options, but big decisions should probably wait for a more balanced time. It’s also a fine day for expanding your views of a situation–it feels great to learn new things. The Moon spends the day in your creative sector, encouraging a focus on the more playful, pleasurable, and satisfying elements of your life. You’re also a little more invested in what makes you unique and whether or not others are seeing you for these things. Thinking up ways to improve the more spontaneous, creative, and entertaining side of your life is appropriate now.Taurus
The Moon spends the day in your home and family sector, dear Taurus, reminding you to slow down and pay more attention to what your heart needs. However, transits today tend toward overshooting and sometimes missing the mark. There could be more drama or exaggeration in your life, and increased pressure on you can lead to minor mistakes. Or, you may have difficulties balancing your intimate life and your social life. Your need or desire to decompress and enjoy familiar settings is strong, but home life or your personal life can be complicated, or ruminating and dwelling on the past interferes with enjoyment. The Moon pulls you into yourself, but Jupiter and Uranus encourage you to go your own way and keep your options open. Whether to play it safe or take a chance may be a question now. Aim to tap into excess energy and channel it into a useful project or satisfying activity and seek ways to lighten your load.Gemini
Transits today can point to desires that are hard to fulfill, dear Gemini, and some tendency to take on so much that you forget the point was to enjoy yourself! However, if you can catch yourself and avoid going overboard, there’s much to enjoy. With the Moon in your communications sector encouraging you to put your feelers out for new information, your curiosity tends to lead you right now. You’re inclined to spread your energy around and get involved in many small jobs or odds and ends rather than focus on any one thing. Do your best not to skip steps because you’re anxious to get the ball rolling. Pushing too hard towards a goal can wear you down or overwhelm you, which is counterproductive. Pacing yourself makes the most sense while keeping your mind open to new possibilities and ideas.Cancer
Today’s energies are strong for optimism, dear Cancer, but putting too much pressure on yourself through high expectations can ruin a good thing! It’s best to avoid skipping important steps to reach an objective. The desire for freedom from restrictions and routines is strong, yet you’re also inclined to take on more tasks! Of course, doing more doesn’t usually get you closer to the end. Try not to add to your pile since feeling overwhelmed is counterproductive. The Moon spends the day in your solar second house, drawing your attention to how you’re managing your resources. Your material affairs and comforts can be in focus, but you might also pay particular attention to your desire for security and predictability. Aim for the perspective you need if you find yourself becoming overly restless. Fortunately, your resourcefulness can come in handy.Leo
Instincts can sometimes be out of step today, dear Leo, or you may be tempted to shoot too high when moderation would benefit you most. You may swing from wanting more or less of a situation or person. With the Moon in your sign all day, you are in a strong position to acknowledge unmet needs and feelings you’ve recently kept at bay. It’s a time of the lunar month for some healthy self-focus, particularly related to emotions and nurture. At the same time, you crave a feeling of connectedness, and others notice you more than usual. The potential pitfall of today is going over the top with all of this, and if you do, when you come back down to earth, you may wonder why you pushed yourself so far. As much as releasing your emotions is a good idea with the Moon in your sign, do remind yourself of your normal limits and avoid going too much further than these. An excellent channel for release may be through learning.Virgo
You could find that there’s so much you want to do, but it’s hard to put things into action today, dear Virgo. The key is to start smaller and work yourself up. You have a stronger need for security and a sense of belongingness, but it’s important to take independent steps to achieve these rather than waiting for others to fill these needs. As well, the Moon spends the day in your solar twelfth house, and you need a break from hectic or demanding situations! Aim to simplify and choose activities that help you recuperate and renew your emotional energy. The potential problem of the day involves overdoing things, even on an emotional level. Watch for a too-intense inventory of the past. It’s useful to reflect on recent events now, but it’s best not to go overboard with this, so if reflection turns into dwelling on the past, aim to pull yourself out of it and focus on something more productive and positive.Libra
Today’s transits can remind you to simplify if you have a little too much going on in your life right now, dear Libra. There could be some moodiness if you have yet to accomplish all you wanted to do, but it’s best to take your time and develop a new plan of action rather than rush things. The Moon spends today in your social sector, making it a good time to connect with friends or inspiration! You are eager, and that’s a great thing, but don’t get yourself in too deep with commitments that may feel too much to handle at a later date. Instead, spending some extra time on personal happiness goals can be rewarding. In fact, ideas for future projects and plans can be motivating. You’ll need to iron out details later, but for now, entertaining big possibilities is just what you need to stretch your mind.Scorpio
You can have a good time today, dear Scorpio, but knowing your limits is best. Ideally, a bit of discontent spurs you to make a positive change. But with today’s transits, it’s all too easy to go overboard. Whether it’s about wanting to impress someone you love or simply because you’re in a good mood and want to share, the tendency is to go over the top. Career or long-term goals for success can be an emotional focal point as the Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart. Certainly, the day’s energies stir your ambitions, and you can find yourself thinking in especially big terms. Stretching your mind to consider possibilities and opportunities where you may not have seen them in the past makes sense now. This isn’t the best time for adding more to your plate, but it can feel good dreaming up new ideas for the future.Sagittarius
A good part of you wants to nurture your need for security and safety today, dear Sagittarius, but you also have a big desire for personal space and a sense of autonomy. While you can imagine all sorts of things you’d like to accomplish, part of you is holding back, or the demands of home and family keep you feeling tied down. Consider ways to strike a compromise or simplify. With the Moon in your solar sector of spirit all day, you gravitate to learning experiences, and you’re likely to find them! You’re also inclined to focus so much on plans for the future that you forget to enjoy the moment. The trick is to aim for moderation–don’t allow promises of the future to make the present look dull or depressing. Aim to let fantasies fuel your imagination and motivate you to make the most of your day.Capricorn
Watch today for a strong desire to do or take on more, dear Capricorn, when it’s probably better to keep things on an even keel right now. Check whether what feels like positive thinking is actually overshooting or restlessness. With the Moon in your solar eighth house all day, you seek intensity or a little more depth in your activities and experiences. While throwing yourself into an enjoyable pursuit can be rewarding now, overdoing things is a potential problem. Look for creative ways to express your feelings for the best results. It’s not easy to agree on where you’re headed or your long-term goals. However, it’s a good idea to avoid putting so much pressure on yourself when you’re already feeling a little divided. As you avoid undue stress, however, nothing should stop you from stretching your thinking–it’s a great time to consider ways to improve or diversify.Aquarius
Several transits point to the tendency to take on more than is reasonable, dear Aquarius. The desire to expand on projects, socialize, or make connections is strong, but you could feel torn as you seek more security and comfort. It may be best to wait for a day when you see things more clearly to make a big purchase. With the Moon in your partnership sector all day, your need for feedback or company is strong. You’re inclined to consult with others, whether formally or informally, as you tend to come alive through one-on-one interaction, learning much about yourself through the mirror of relationships. However, you seek stimulation and interactivity on the one hand and uncomplicated moments to yourself on the other. As hard as it may be to pull yourself away, you may need a little emotional distance to gain a more balanced perspective. You’ll find it far easier to relax and gain this perspective by taking part in peaceful, inspiring projects.Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, dear Pisces, and you’ll want to get busy with organizing. Still, the day’s transits tend to lead to overdoing things–something you might try to nip in the bud. While it’s wonderful to dream and aspire, if you overdo things now, you’ll exhaust yourself for true opportunity periods. Be especially conscious of being fair and using common sense for best results today. Aim to find a better balance between personal interests and work duties. Some see-sawing is likely now, but if you prioritize physical and mental health, you’ll get there sooner. Keep in mind that putting too much pressure on yourself can mean productivity takes a hit. While it’s not entirely intuitive to do so today, pacing yourself makes sense.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
