Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
This can be a solid day for strengthening your alliances and lending a hand to those who need it, dear Aries. As the day advances, a Mars-Jupiter square comes strongly into play, and it can be a loaded, animated time with friends or a busy time for being in demand. You may like the attention but could also feel a little overwhelmed or restless. It’s also possible that impulsiveness and impatience trips you up temporarily. Aim to capture the enthusiasm of the day and enjoy it, but take the edge off. The pressure to push something forward can lead to mistakes, or you could end up feeling that you’re in over your head or you’ve taken on too much. This can leave you feeling swamped rather than inspired. You might also be spending or indulging too much as you have less concern for your future self and care more about the moment. Moderation is the key now, although it can be challenging to put into practice.Taurus
Today’s energies are creative and motivating, dear Taurus. Especially as the day advances, Mars and Jupiter head toward a square, and there can be some impulsive moves. What you do today has more impact than usual, but your “delivery” may need some attention, or else you come across as pushy or over the top. You probably don’t mean it, so be sure that others know where you’re coming from. Underlying tension and discomfort with the status quo can lead to rash decision-making. Wind yourself down if you feel that you’re getting worked up over trivial matters, but aim to tap into the positive energy of this combination. Before jumping into something too quickly, consider your options carefully. However, keep your enthusiasm! It’s a balancing act but achievable.Gemini
Restlessness is a real possibility today, dear Gemini, but you might end the day with a sense that you may have too much on your plate or that you’ve planned poorly. With a Mars-Jupiter square forming, it’s probably best to avoid making commitments until you’ve considered all variables. You may overstate your case or get wholly worked up about a difference in opinion. Watch for overreaching and overcommitting also, as enthusiasm can lead to overconfidence, and this may mean you think you can do more than is realistically possible. Optimism is beautiful, but misjudgment is more likely than usual right now, so consider and be kind to your future self today. Routines are harder to bear than usual, and if you seek more tasks to add to your life, you could end up quite overloaded, so aim to get rid of something before adding something new. Or, vary your routine so that you keep levels of excitement high.Cancer
There is mixed but animated energy with your relationships right now, dear Cancer, with Mars heating up your intimacy sector and Jupiter warming your friendship sector. These two are heading toward a clash, and you can swing between wanting to be incredibly close, to wanting to easily detach, expressing more independence and acceptance. Try your best to treat problems as stimulating challenges since there is a middle ground, and it would be in your best interests to find it. If you go to extremes, you might lose both options, but if you compromise, you’ll have a little less, but you’ll have both. Also, avoid situations that can get you into debt as much as possible today, as the tendency today is to overreach.Leo
With a Mars-Jupiter square influencing the day, dear Leo, there is much enthusiasm to tap. Even so, others in your life can be pushy, animated, and perhaps overactive in your eyes. Ego issues can emerge in your work, with those in authority, or with significant people in your life. This aspect might pit your passion for a relationship against your ambition. Avoid, if at all possible, promising action on something just for the time being, as you tend to overestimate your ability to follow through on it. This aspect tends to magnify and dramatize things! Keep in mind that with so much emphasis on your partnership sector these days, working through relationship issues should be a priority. However, you can be a little impatient today, which is best kept in mind before jumping into something you haven’t yet scoped out.Virgo
It’s a generally good time for communicating your feelings and sharing ideas and beliefs, dear Virgo. Still, excess energy may be difficult to channel today, particularly as the day advances and we approach a Mars-Jupiter square. You’re in good shape for rallying up support and activity on the home front or at work, but succumbing to restlessness or impatience can interfere with the fun potential of the day. You may end up feeling overextended, or the desire to push a project forward can lead to costly mistakes. Tune out distractions to focus on one thing at a time. You might also watch for a tendency to push and prod. There could be a race with taking care of your daily duties and responsibilities or dealing with errands and tasks. Wanting to get your work done and seeking non-routine experiences are both genuine and insistent needs, but overdoing both can only lead to exhaustion.Libra
While there are some very productive energies today, dear Libra, there’s a tendency to go overboard with them! Your desire to feel, play, and enjoy life to the hilt is strong these days, with Mars transiting your pleasure and joy sector. Today, Mars heads toward a square with Jupiter, which can point to excess. You might overestimate what you can handle in a relationship, leaving you regretful. Remind yourself that more isn’t always necessary or better! Watch also for over-the-top promises or expectations, particularly of yourself. They may be well-intentioned but could be made in the heat of the moment. This transit inclines you to take on too much and to make impulsive decisions. However, if you keep restlessness in check and focus on enjoying what you have or aim to take on a reasonable challenge, you can more thoroughly enjoy the extra dose of enthusiasm the day supplies.Scorpio
This can be a productive day in terms of activity, dear Scorpio, but with an impending Mars-Jupiter square, there can be a tendency to push something too hard or go to excess. Be careful not to instigate conflicts, especially if you feel cooped up and restless. Aim instead to take advantage of your extra energy by pouring it into something constructive or physical without overdoing it. It may help to take a detour from your usual routine to keep emotional excitement levels high–something this transit can sometimes demand. Watch also for stubbornness with opinions since debates can get overly personal today. It would be nice if rewards were instant, but if you shoot too high, there can be unnecessary frustration. Shared activities can be particularly appropriate now.Sagittarius
It’s a generally good time to take action on an important project, dear Sagittarius, particularly a communications or learning effort. You seem up for a challenge! But as the day advances, you might realize that you have too much on your plate or there are scheduling problems to work around. Determining how much you can do or take on can be challenging since your desire and reality are temporarily mismatched. You can get quite worked up about a method or idea with a Mars-Jupiter square in strong influence. Mental energy runs high. Debates can quickly escalate! Your mind might race, and there can be many exciting ideas, but distractions, restlessness, or duties can keep you from fleshing them out or making them work. Do your best not to rush things.Capricorn
Enthusiasm runs high today, dear Capricorn. While it’s something you should capture, plans should be rolled out rather than pushed now, even if part of you is itching to take a gamble or risk. You might also feel the need to defend your values today. The temptation to borrow from your future is high, or you could find that you’re overestimating something now with Mars, in your finances and values sector, heading toward a square with Jupiter in your risk-taking, playful solar fifth house. Borrowing from your future is not only about money, although it certainly covers it, but it can also include jumping into new situations without considering consequences and making promises or commitments that “future you” may not be able, or want, to keep. Not much can be lost if the stakes are low, except perhaps a bit of pride. If the stakes are high, wait for a day when your judgment and patience are in better form.Aquarius
While you’re generally setting your own pace these days, dear Aquarius, you also recognize the value of the team and are willing to share yourself, including your expertise, with others. Especially as the day advances, and a Mars-Jupiter square is in strong influence, you may be riding high on enthusiasm, but it’s vital to avoid expecting instant results. Skipping steps can lead to future problems, so try to slow yourself down while maintaining the optimism you’re enjoying. The desire to push personal plans can conflict with family pursuits or interests. It can be a time of a little too much stimulation! Try not to focus too hard on your ideal scenario because it takes energy away from productivity in the present. It makes sense to find ways to release tension and take actions with low stakes or that involve putting problems behind you.Pisces
You might feel restless, wanting to do something, but uncertain about where to channel your energy today, dear Pisces. This feeling comes from a Mars-Jupiter square in strong influence now. There may be a difference of opinion that gets under your skin. Something said today might trigger hidden or suppressed anger, and a sudden conflict may result, so watch for this tendency. Impulsiveness can be strong, and it can be a good time for keeping active, enjoying a new activity, or participating in something you haven’t done in a while. However, aim to avoid overextending yourself. Strong pulls towards private or alone time are with you now, but daily business, contacts, and projects are also a high draw, making it difficult to know where to begin. Whether or not the pace around you is hectic, you can feel a little rushed or pressured. Do what you can to center yourself and remind yourself of your priorities.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
