Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Mercury turns direct after almost three weeks of retrograde motion, dear Aries. This retrograde began in your friendship sector and then moved back into your career and reputation house. Delays and limbo related to any of these life departments are likely to break in the coming days, and matters can turn a corner as new information or a new perspective emerges. Career planning and goal-setting, reputation, status-related issues, and friendships are likely to gain clarity and, later, momentum. Today as the shift occurs, it’s best to take things easy. With the Moon in your privacy sector all day, it’s also a good idea to seek activities that help with emotional refreshment. There’s no sense in rushing to put new plans into motion yet. Instead, observe, reflect, and wait things out. As the day advances, it’s a fine time to think about getting rid of unhealthy habits. You get the feeling you can take on a lot on a professional level, or breakthrough thinking stimulates your ambition and enthusiasm.Taurus
Conditions may be unclear today, dear Taurus, but we’re at a turning point, making it a good idea to consider the day a transitional one. After almost three weeks of retrograde motion, Mercury turns direct today, and delays should begin to lift. Forward progress is likely with your goals, reputation, work, transportation, and educational plans or endeavors in the coming days and weeks. New information or a different perspective helps you make better decisions. However, it’s best to take your time–just as Mercury takes its own time to regain normal speed, we should be easing back into our projects and decisions. A Mars-Jupiter transit also influences the day, boosting your confidence and mood. It’s particularly excellent for friendships, studies, and invigorating experiences.Gemini
Mercury stations and turns direct today after almost three weeks of retrograde motion, dear Gemini. This shift helps move things forward and speed up mental processes. However, easing back into things is best since none of this is immediate! Be particularly vigilant with relationships, business, and finances. Even so, these very same things are set to clear up, move forward, and unblock in the coming days and weeks. Delays also lift regarding educational, travel, or publishing efforts. While it’s not a great time to focus on details, you’re likely to pick up on some inspiration. A Mars-Jupiter transit adds a “can do” feel to the day, and you’re ready to solve problems and move forward.Cancer
Mercury ends its retrograde cycle today, and we come to the end of a cycle of mental reorientation, dear Cancer. Even so, there is a little more of this process to go as Mercury doesn’t immediately resume normal speed. Keeping in mind that communications can continue to confound you during the shift, you can nevertheless look forward to more clarity and movement related to a partnership, finances, intimate connections, and negotiations. These might turn a corner in the coming days and weeks, or information comes in that gives you clarity and makes it easier to make informed decisions. Aim to “go with the flow” rather than rush or push things today. A Mars-Jupiter aspect boosts your confidence that you have all the necessary tools. You’re confident, optimistic, and seeing opportunities and possibilities.Leo
Mercury turns direct today after almost three weeks of retrograde motion, dear Leo, and you’ll begin to see some delays lift and plans move forward in the coming days and weeks. As more information comes in or a different perspective forms, you’ll feel far better equipped to make decisions, especially those related to partnerships, work, and health. A Mars-Jupiter influence can help get the ball rolling. Still, it’s a day best used for observing rather than taking action. Today’s energies favor productivity and cleverness. With work and routines today, you’re particularly on the ball, ready to do something different or new. You can feel strongly motivated and have much enthusiasm for research or projects.Virgo
Mercury, your planetary ruler, turns direct today, dear Virgo, after nearly three weeks of retrograde motion. As a result, new information or a different perspective can emerge, helping bring clarity to some matters, mainly related to your work, health, creative projects, and romantic issues. It’s not a time for quick or bold moves in the interim. If you aim to treat misunderstandings or slowdowns as a chance to catch your breath and refine your goals, you’ll be in good shape. Recent plans may not seem as necessary as they once did, but the projects that genuinely matter will move forward with you. Right now, letting go of a need for reliable answers can help you navigate the day’s tricky points. A Mars-Jupiter transit influencing the day puts you in great shape for relating in positive, growth-oriented, and confident ways.Libra
It’s best to treat today as a transitional period and exercise patience, dear Libra. With Mercury turning direct today after a retrograde cycle that lasted almost three weeks, you’ll see some progress or forward movement in projects and endeavors that stalled, especially those related to your hobbies, dating life, home, family, or friendships. There can be more clarity and possibly improved communications in your personal life. These things don’t happen right away–they’re gradual as Mercury regains speed in the coming days and weeks. You might revisit conversations or problems that confused you in recent weeks, now with more information or variables to consider. Today, you may not have all you need to make the bigger decisions. However, your confidence is building. A Mars-Jupiter transit encourages you to stay active, and with Mars in your family and home sector, an engaging domestic project or activity may be precisely what you need.Scorpio
While today’s energies require some patience, dear Scorpio, you have many reasons to feel encouraged. For one, Mercury turns direct after almost three weeks of retrograde motion. Over the coming days and weeks, you’ll find that many plans or recently-stalled projects or initiatives begin to move forward. There are fewer blocks to your progress now. You can experience improved communications and relations with family and more faith and confidence, in general. For today, be as clear as you can in your discussions and statements, or better yet, reserve judgment! It makes sense to treat the day as a transitional one rather than a time for bold moves. New information could emerge that sets you on a slightly different path. For another, a Mars-Jupiter transit leaves you feeling considerably more confident about projects, creative efforts, hobbies, or romantic pursuits.Sagittarius
Mercury turns direct today after nearly three weeks of retrograde motion, dear Sagittarius, and you’ll gradually enjoy more clarity with your communications, transportation matters, and personal finances. Today and tomorrow require extra care with what you’re communicating, making purchases, and dealing with instructions as the shift occurs. Once you adjust to the change of direction and deal with various problems, this influence is excellent for improved clarity and unblocking areas that fell off the radar or stalled in recent weeks. Keep in mind that it’s not easy to be objective just for the time being. Still, your spirit is strong. A Mars-Jupiter transit stirs you–your desire to make your life more secure or comfortable is a strong motivator.Capricorn
Mercury, currently transiting your sign, turns direct after just under three weeks of retrograde motion, dear Capricorn. It spent the beginning half of the retrograde cycle in your resources sector. In the coming days and weeks, indecision is likely to clear up, and, ideally, contemplation will pay off. This can be especially the case with health, work, finances, and personal plans. Delays lift, and periods of limbo end as information or a new perspective emerges. If you’ve been looking back, reviewing, and editing, you’ll begin to enjoy the rewards of these efforts. Just as Mercury doesn’t immediately resume normal speed, you might try to follow a similar path: ease back into things for best results. A Mars-Jupiter transit encourages you, boosting your confidence. You might discover wonderful opportunities that brighten your day and fuel your ambition or enthusiasm, likely related to communications projects, learning, or transportation.Aquarius
It’s best to be more aware of how you express yourself today, dear Aquarius. The planet of communication, Mercury, turns direct after almost three weeks of retrograde motion. As a result, you’ll find decisions become more straightforward and delays lift. Many recent misunderstandings are likely to clear up in the coming days and weeks. Still, the shift itself can effectively magnify problem areas, so do your best to avoid focusing on trivial matters as Mercury makes its turnaround. Mercury began its retrograde in your sign then retreated into the sign just behind yours. Now, Mercury turns direct, and you’ll see some recent problem areas untangle, but Mercury won’t return to your sign until the 14th, when even more clarity is likely to come. A Mars-Jupiter aspect also influences the day, encouraging your confidence in dealing with stressful situations. You’re confident and ready to take on a challenge. Ideas about money or business are uniquely innovative.Pisces
Mercury turns direct today after almost three weeks of retrograde motion, dear Pisces, and you’ll see some forward movement in those relationships and endeavors that have encountered delays or blocks. Tricky problems and indecisiveness will clear in the days and weeks ahead. For now, take special care in your interactions with others and consider that you may be missing important details. For best results, treat today as a transition day. Although problem areas don’t immediately disappear as Mercury turns direct, you’ll see some real progress as Mercury slowly gets back to its normal speed. Information may emerge that helps you make better decisions or choices. A Mars-Jupiter transit, also influencing today, is a confidence booster. You may feel invigorated by a challenge and excited about a new or renewed project.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
