Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You’re in a great place mentally for formulating long-term goals today, dear Aries, as you feel a little more ambitious yet grounded. Still, the Moon enters your social sector today, and you begin to seek activities that fulfill your happiness goals. 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 craving others’ involvement. While you can fall a little flat as you feel torn, you might also get a better sense of your priorities through rumination. 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.Taurus
Today brings good energy for seeing where you want to go with your ideas and activities, dear Taurus, and you might make a commitment to do more exploring and discovering. Still, the Moon heads into your career and responsibility sector today, and you’re getting into a practical frame of mind as well. Today’s opposition between the Moon and Mars may trigger frustrations or resentments that have been working under the surface in your life. Ideally, it helps you deal with a problem area, but watch for going at it impatiently. Otherwise, the day holds easy energy for connections to people who help you feel comfortable or who have a reassuring effect on you. While you can feel a little drained and find it difficult to know where to begin in spots today, the thinking you do can get you closer to understanding your real priorities. Simplifying seems best now.Gemini
You can be in a good position to understand where you want to go with lifestyle changes or passion projects today, dear Gemini, and making plans or formulating goals can come quite naturally. Still, the Moon moves into your spirit sector, encouraging your need to answer to your need for more spontaneity. This transit is not only about escaping the ordinary but also about expanding your experiences or mind. A Moon-Mars opposition today could make it difficult to find your center, as you can feel overstimulated. You may want independence on the one hand, and intimacy on the other, and signals are mixed. Energy and motivation levels are subject to dips now until you sort out how to combine these drives or satisfy them differently. Fortunately, you could learn something valuable about a friendship or special project, so be sure to open up the lines of communication.Cancer
The Moon heads into your sector of shared resources, dear Cancer, and you’re more observant than usual, seeing layers of situations that escaped your notice in the past. Transits today can stir your ambition and inflame money, business, or ownership matters. Certainly, the focus on complicated emotions can interfere with your productivity, but you can also benefit from exploring your feelings on a matter. The tension created now can spur you on and motivate you. You could be determined to resolve an emotional or private matter. Still, part of you wants to enjoy your downtime, and another part wants some company or input. You can feel quite divided between needing privacy and sharing with others. Seek a compromise for the best results.Leo
Goals related to health and work are in generally good favor at this time, dear Leo. Things seem to be clicking into place, and those things that aren’t clicking yet don’t faze you as you have a strong sense that you have enough time to get to everything you need to do. Still, the Moon does trigger retrograde Mars in your sign today, and you can feel torn between wanting to do things independently and answering your need for companionship. Watch for a tendency for others to stir defensiveness or combativeness in you. On the other hand, someone might activate awareness of your unmet needs. You could feel torn between attention to your chores and your social life or larger goals as the day progresses. If you find ways to combine these things or cut back on both so that you don’t overdo either one, you’re in a perfect place. You might learn about your priorities today.Virgo
You’re in great shape for making plans and goals related to enjoying and expressing yourself more fully, dear Virgo. Still, the day holds intense energy for getting some problems resolved or sorting and organizing. The Moon moves into your work and health sector, boosting your sense of being busy. You can feel a little frustrated today if you sense that others have a hidden agenda or if they’re holding back information. While you can’t entirely escape pressures, you can resolve not to let them weigh you down. Pressures can also ease if you consciously let go of old patterns and methods that are wearing you out. As the day advances, there can be a feeling of being pulled in different directions. You can feel drawn toward both serious activities and play, and the key might be to either combine them or divide your time in a balanced way. You won’t get the chance to enjoy either if you feel overwhelmed, so look for ways to simplify.Libra
You’re in a fine position to formulate goals for better attention to home and family or improved living conditions today, dear Libra, with a New Moon in your solar fourth house just a couple of days behind you. You have a greater sense of what you need and want in these areas. Still, the Moon moves into your sector of joy today, and you want to enjoy and express yourself. With the Moon’s opposition to Mars today, you could experience a clash of values or disconnect with a friend or group, or you could feel torn between sticking to yourself and being a team player. Ideally, your interactions with others can help you discover hidden desires. You might also experience a dilemma between seeking comfort and wanting to move out of your comfort zone. Finding a balance between comfort and escape can be tricky but not impossible now.Scorpio
It’s a strong time in the lunar cycle to formulate clear goals about improving your connections, studies, and communications, dear Scorpio. You might make a verbal promise or commit to a communications or creative project. Still, the Moon heads into your solar fourth house, encouraging some quiet, but with the Moon’s opposition to Mars, inner frustrations can be triggered if there has been tension with your larger goals, career, or family. Fortunately, you can use this energy to your advantage since your desire to overcome frustrations can motivate you to put an irritating situation behind you. Aim to avoid making a big show of things with this transit in play, but stay open to learning from conflicts. Pay particular attention to anger that surfaces suddenly and seemingly from nowhere, as you might recognize buried resentments. Any dilemma encountered now might help you get closer to understanding what you actually want or need.Sagittarius
You’re in a great place for formulating clear goals for managing your money and things, dear Sagittarius. You can be highly motivated to take charge. The Moon heads into your communications sector today, however, bringing on a busy theme. You’re looking for mental engagement, but you should watch for going too far on this level. Your attraction to personal projects is strong, but you also have a compelling need to get things done. Rushing through your tasks leads to mistakes and disagreements. Get in better touch with your true desires before taking action. Observe and learn. Whether to attend to business matters or relationships can be a question as the day advances, and adjustments may be necessary if you sense that there’s something a little off. Before rushing forward, attend to your priorities.Capricorn
You’re in a good and strengthening position to more clearly see what you want to improve in your life, dear Capricorn. Formulating goals for yourself, especially personal ones, comes naturally now. Still, the Moon heads into your resources sector, and a good part of you wants to settle in and be content with something familiar and predictable. Emotions can nevertheless run high, especially surrounding matters of ownership, respect, or power dynamics. It’s hard to be objective temporarily. Ride this out, but pay attention to resentments that surface now, as they may have been hidden but still very much part of your life, Determine your priorities so that you can focus on them until you have more wiggle room.Aquarius
The day holds good energy for seeing where you want to head, dear Aquarius. It’s a potentially brilliant time for using your personal influence and the power of thoughts and words to transform your life for the better. The Moon moves into your sign, and you’re in the spotlight, but differences and problem areas are also coming into focus as the Moon opposes Mars today. With this transit, you’re inclined to go your own way, but you also seek acknowledgment from others, which is complicated. Still, friendship or information circulating today seems to support your growth, and you can pull yourself above the frustrations to concentrate on what’s most important. Taking a step back from a problem is perhaps the better strategy. You might learn a bit about your priorities through the dilemmas of the day.Pisces
Your head’s in the right place to think about what you want to achieve, dear Pisces, particularly on a social or happiness level. Still, the Moon heads into your privacy sector, and you may want to take a step back from the usual activity. It’s best to aim for balance as much as possible. You can feel a bit torn with the Moon’s opposition to Mars, but the tension it stirs can help you get in touch with true needs and wants. Remind yourself that you need some breathing room. Fortunately, transits today can also connect you with people or information that further your practical goals. This can be a time for gaining increased clarity about an objective that feels like growth and improvement. Still, whether to stick with the familiar or experiment can be a dilemma today, even if it gently forces a good thinking session about your priorities.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
