Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
While there can be some tense or rebellious energy in the air today, dear Aries, your focus is sharp, especially as the day advances. You get the sense that you need to rally up the forces to handle an important responsibility. A friendship or alliance may solidify, and it’s likely to be a significant long-term one. You have a more realistic view of the viability of a project or long-term goal today, making it easier to make the right decisions in the future. You can feel terrific about making mature choices with Venus and Saturn joining together. This transit supports compromises, negotiations, and bringing more purpose to your social ties. Today is strong for feeling motivated and organized–you want to do something constructive.Taurus
While the day has some edginess to it with Uranus turning direct today, dear Taurus, a Venus-Saturn alignment brings a serious, responsible tone. It’s an excellent time to look more critically at problem areas in your life since you have a more positive spirit for doing so. It’s a time to embrace your responsibilities and make mature, good-for-you choices. With this transit, being conservative, realistic, and disciplined in business reaps the most rewards. Making a responsible choice helps you feel better about yourself or bonds you with others. You may be taking on a new responsibility that involves hard work or some personal sacrifices but feels completely worth the effort.Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your spirit sector, dear Gemini, and Venus and Saturn align in this same area of your solar chart. This alignment is a good influence for skills development or enjoyment of getting organized. You’re inclined to take things more seriously, particularly your general outlook, opinions, and beliefs. You might realize certain limitations of a plan or project now, or you feel tied down as you complete more work than you originally planned. However, you can be attracted to learning something useful today, and you might thoroughly enjoy the process. You come across in a pleasingly responsible or mature manner, and plans birthed now are sound with your current realistic outlook. You’re in the position to seriously consider long-term goals with some healthy skepticism.Cancer
Today’s transits are strong for applying yourself to research or an absorbing passion project, dear Cancer. The chance to settle a tricky matter can emerge as Venus and Saturn come together in your solar eighth house, and there are practical solutions to problems to be found. Efforts to organize and reduce debt get powerful support. At the same time, you may be hunkering down and facing reality about a financial or intimate matter, and it feels good to face things maturely. There can be realities surfacing with a relationship, loan, job, or similar. Whatever this is, it comes with responsibility! You’re in the position to consider your future and the impact your current choices might have going forward. Making reasonable choices and decisions can be in focus, or you may gain wise counsel and resolve to make improvements.Leo
While today’s energies are tense or excitable in spots, dear Leo, a Venus-Saturn alignment brings a serious tone. A relationship might play a significant role in your motivation to reach a goal or ambition, or a common purpose with a significant other can form now. You could have a bonding moment with a particular person over a shared responsibility, concern, or important task. If a relationship is coming up lacking, however, it can be a time when you feel the weight of your situation. You are well-positioned to recognize what is no longer working for you and make a commitment to take good care of your needs as you go forward. If you can apply structure and assign meaning to your pleasures today, all the better–you want to make the most of your time. Constructive conversations or activities with a partner or friend can figure strongly now.Virgo
With today’s Venus-Saturn alignment, dear Virgo, you enjoy keeping busy, organizing, and creating order. You’re especially aware of the details required to get a job done, and facing reality or meeting your responsibilities with work or health is satisfying. You might make a pleasant commitment to a work or self-care goal. It’s a good time to tidy up your daily routines and habits, and you may take pleasure in solving problems and being more disciplined. However, if things are lacking in these areas, a reality check or new responsibility can emerge. Fortunately, it puts you “in the know” and better positioned to make the right decisions for yourself. Getting a handle on your daily routines and improving habits seem ideal ways to feel good about yourself.Libra
Today’s Venus-Saturn alignment is supportive, dear Libra. It’s a mature, responsible energy, and you’re inclined to specialize. There may be a reason to rally support or face reality about a situation, which is empowering. You may be getting serious about a relationship or project and gain an advantage. There could be a renewal of a commitment, although there can be complicated logistics or problems coming to light in a love relationship. It might also be a time when you see a connection or a project in a more realistic light.Scorpio
There is some rebellious and erratic energy with you today, dear Scorpio, with Uranus turning direct. However, with today’s Venus-Saturn alignment, you may want to bring more order, beauty, and structure to your home or private world. You’ve been more sensitive to imbalances in your home environment or close relationships, and now, good energy is with you to negotiate and compromise. Seeing things more realistically today can be surprising but ultimately feels right. You are not interested in quick fixes now–you want solutions that will stand the test of time. You may need to accept a person or situation for its limitations to get into the right frame of mind to move forward. A responsibility or commitment to loved ones may need your attention. It’s possible you bond with someone over a shared responsibility or concern.Sagittarius
While there can be some tensions stirring today, dear Sagittarius, a Venus-Saturn alignment helps you get serious and focus. Gaining a fuller sense of what you can and can’t accomplish is empowering! This conjunction occurs in your communications sector, and it’s time to draw up realistic and genuinely doable plans. Conversations run on the serious or business-oriented side now. You tend to take pleasure in meeting your responsibilities or organizing your life with this transit active. You might take the role of an advisor. Today’s energies are solid for laying the groundwork for future success or a new, long-term project. Developing special skills can be satisfying. You’re giving your interests or studies more attention and importance, which works to your benefit!Capricorn
With a Venus-Saturn alignment today, dear Capricorn, you could be getting serious about a plan or responsibility, and it’s satisfying. You’re much happier with things that feel certain or well-defined. You might relish the idea of a long-term plan or bond with someone over a shared goal, vision, or responsibility. It can be pleasurable to budget, face a financial situation confidently, or save money. Paring down is easier if you have a solid goal in mind. This transit motivates you to sort out money matters or valuables. Taking charge of money and business matters that have fallen off the radar can be empowering.Aquarius
Your ruling planet, Uranus, turns direct today, dear Aquarius, and electric energy is in the air. Still, today’s Venus-Saturn alignment in your sign can find you getting serious about a plan or responsibility, and it suits you well! As you take a more precise, mature, and realistic look at things, you feel steadier. It’s empowering to understand your capabilities. While you’re clearer than usual, you’re at risk of taking on or assuming more than your share of responsibility. Otherwise, this is a time for making mature choices and feeling good about doing so. You want to be useful and productive, but you also need to enjoy yourself as you do.Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your hidden sector, dear Pisces, and you crave rest or a break from the usual pace of your life. Venus and Saturn align in this area of your solar chart today, and you might take care of outstanding problems or loose ends, particularly on emotional levels. The need to see a relationship or project for what it is can feel uncomfortable at first. However, you get an excellent sense of your priorities, which empowers you. Taking control of your life and meeting your responsibilities requires time and energy, and transits today put you in a stronger position to see what is and isn’t worth pursuing. You’re arriving at a stronger conviction that you can reach your goals.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
