Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Your advice may be sought, dear Aries, and there is good energy for new creative approaches to a work project or your career in general. However, it can be challenging to honestly trust your perceptions with emotions involved at times today. Minor but tricky aspects can leave you yearning for more and psychically sensitive. There is an inclination to quickly become frustrated or aggravated by minor problems and flaws. Old issues you thought were behind you may only have been buried and now emerge, occupying your mind, or a bad dream can affect your mood. You may feel a little out of sync when it comes to pursuing your desires. It can be challenging catching up, so do your best to avoid taking on more. If old communication patterns with someone are frustrating you now, try to break out of it on your end and see if that makes a difference.Taurus
Relationships can be on the tricky side today, dear Taurus, as they tend to need adjustments or extra attention before ironing out. You can have a strong desire to believe in someone, but at the same time, fear that you’ll discover reasons not to! In truth, they may need some time to smooth out independently. It’s all too easy to take friendly gestures the wrong way today. Something communicated can be misinterpreted. Family relations may be tense, or a bit of chaos in your domestic world can throw you off temporarily, and either one can interrupt your fun. While ambitions are strong, so are the demands on your time for personal interests and daily affairs, and it can be hard to juggle it all. Because you can sometimes feel out of sync, it may be a good idea to plan ahead.Gemini
With minor but tricky aspects today, dear Gemini, practical matters may produce some problems or frustrations, interrupting your fun. The desire to go your own way and express yourself boldly is with you, but circumstances are such that you may need to sugarcoat things or be especially diplomatic. A good part of you is focused on making peace, but another part wants to dive deep into problem areas. You can swing from pie in the sky to negative thinking, making it a less-than-ideal day for big purchases and business decisions. You might do a little better when it comes to your social life, but not much when it comes to clarity. Personal appeal is strong, however, and energy is good when you know where to direct it. Keeping in mind that people around you require more care and sensitivity than usual can be helpful. Problems now may lead to straightening out and correcting errors later, making it a good learning experience or period for handling details that help you in the long run.Cancer
Impatience or nervousness in others may need to be managed today, dear Cancer, although you may instead decide to walk away from it until things quiet down. Work, health, and service issues are active on your mind now, and ultimately, it’s about making useful changes. There may be a change of plans or other surprise elements that can be disconcerting at first, but that may lead to a better place or position on a matter. You may need to deal with mixed messages and minor irritations or delays today, whether because you’re sending out confused signals or others are doing so. The tendency to act in conditioned rather than mindful ways is strong right now, and you would do well to identify these patterns so that you can step around them. Tensions can be of the internal or interactive variety, and they may very well relate to differences of opinion or values, or they can be about money. There can be a strong desire to get out and about but an equally compelling need to stick to what you know today, and misunderstandings can ensue. Avoid explaining yourself to people who are being narrow-minded but take the time to make things right with those who deserve your attention. Even so, dissatisfaction might only resolve given a little time, and sometimes leaving something alone makes the most sense. Take things easy, and slowly right now.Leo
There can be misunderstandings due to the temporary inability to read situations well, dear Leo. Minor but tricky active influences suggest some disconnects or distractions today. Energy is indirect and a little convoluted, and it’s not an ideal time for healthy conversations, but consider that you might need some personal space before feeling refreshed again. A sense that you might stir the pot too much if you ask for something directly is with you, yet you still want to fulfill your desires. People can easily feel slighted, and maybe it’s better to avoid drama right now, which can very easily escalate today. Plans drawn up now may never come to pass. Rhythms in relationships can be off temporarily, but don’t let this define you or determine your next move. A change of plans or opinions can throw you off but aim to learn from differences rather than simply react to them. Slowing down and not pushing too hard can help you regain your composure — this way, you’ll make far better decisions later.Virgo
There can be some issues with feeling understood today, dear Virgo. Situations and people may leave you feeling a bit drained or confused due to some minor challenging transits. You might begin a conversation happily and end it disappointed, for example. However, keep in mind that the energy of the day is vacillating. Focusing on the past or responding habitually in ways that didn’t bring you success in the past are strong tendencies but have no rewards now. You might opt to save very important discussions for a time when people are less touchy. Wants and needs are at cross-purposes, and some introspection can do wonders to help you center yourself and get in touch with your heart’s desire since the appropriate channels for releasing energy may not be available to you temporarily. Try to get in touch with what it is you truly want, realistically speaking, as not knowing can, in fact, be a significant source of restlessness. As well, a simple difference of opinion could get you more riled up than usual under these conditions.Libra
Perceptions of value can be slightly skewed today, dear Libra, with a couple of awkward aspects that are mildly tricky and can lead to some restlessness or indecision. Technical errors can be frustrating, and it can be difficult to feel in sync with conflicting desires. It’s hard to make satisfying decisions or plans without some feeling that you may be missing out elsewhere. There may be changes in plans to manage or news arrives that requires a rethinking of a recent endeavor or adjustment of your schedule. You might aim to do your share and avoid worrying about what others are or aren’t doing. In fact, even with a few frustrations, you’re likely to gain a win related to work or money. Concentrating on what you can do at this moment to lessen your load is best. If that means taking a break from it all and you can manage it, then do so! Events today can ultimately bring you to a better understanding of your mind or plans. People in your life can be exasperating yet inspirational, as well.Scorpio
You might be giving off mixed signals today, dear Scorpio, but it’s hard not to with current minor challenging aspects. It’s not straightforward to project confidence and clarity if you’re not feeling these things inside. There can be mental disconnects, and others can seem insensitive or impatient. You can be sensitive to unusual patterns of relating right now. Decisions and choices may also be a little tricky if your schedule is chaotic and there isn’t enough time to sort things out. Mental strain can keep you on the fence about a matter or a person in your life. It’s best to avoid making commitments until you have all the facts. Quick judgments are unlikely to serve you well at the moment. If you feel out of the loop, which is likely right now, hold off and be easy on yourself since pushing can lead to mistakes. If people around you are blowing hot and cold, try not to take this personally, as it’s likely they are also undecided. Fortunately, a special someone can see past the social fumbling of the day.Sagittarius
Today’s minor challenging aspects can sometimes leave you feeling vaguely unsettled, dear Sagittarius, but the adjustments you make as a result can be helpful down the road. Your perceptions may not be as reliable as they usually are today, and reading too much into a situation may be more trouble than it’s worth. Avoid getting too caught up in spiraling thoughts or wrestling with regrets or recent decisions. You could be dealing with people who won’t budge on a matter or the opposite, lacking the confidence to make a firm decision. Either way, it’s frustrating. Or, there can be an inner conflict between a desire to innovate and a need to stick with familiar people and situations. For the best results, steer clear of flip decisions and try to stay in the moment. It’s not a good time to win over others or make a stand. Refinements need to be made to incomplete or weak plans. Focus on accomplishing your goals step by step and look for channels to express your feelings, even if these are not direct routes. You may be surprised how many there are, helping you to rise above the small, irritating challenges of the day.Capricorn
With a few minor yet challenging aspects active today, dear Capricorn, there can be slight disappointments or the need to retrace your steps. You could feel that someone is draining your energy, whether it’s because of your expectations of them or, more directly, their negativity or insensitivity. Communications are imperfect or imperfectly delivered. A scattered approach will only serve to up anxiety levels. It’s not an ideal day for focus and concentration, but energy for practical matters is better than for relationships, and you may want to concentrate on getting some of your duties out of the way. In fact, minor errors or delays may lead to the tightening up of weak or problem areas in your life, even if they are inconvenient for now. Taking things step by step will get you there.Aquarius
Today’s picky aspects can indicate poor timing or the need to retrace your steps before going forward, dear Aquarius. Mental or social disconnects can be frustrating or confusing. You may want to work out frustrations through physical activity without pushing yourself too hard. Enjoy new insights and play with new ideas, but look before you leap since thinking is a little scattered. You’re reminded to take some personal time, and recognizing the need for change is your first step, but implementing it is best saved for a clearer day. If you’re looking for straightforward answers, you’re unlikely to get them right now, not necessarily because people are withholding, but more likely because we have difficulty being in touch with what we truly want today. Timing can be off in small ways, so consider taking care of important business another day. Decision-making about purchases and relationships should probably wait as well.Pisces
Today holds some scattered energy but the potential for new insights, dear Pisces. There can be some difficulty fulfilling your desires just for now. You can feel tugs from different people and relationships, and it’s disorienting. Self-doubt may be part of this, but treat any hesitance you feel now as a chance to slow down and adjust. While you’re generally received well these days with Venus in your sign, you might be unable to bask temporarily, as some awkwardness in social situations is possible. Slight tweaks and adjustments may be necessary if you’re looking to get something you want. Don’t push things for now, though. It may not be worth the convoluted energy! Avoid taking any negative feedback too personally, as well, focusing instead on what you can improve going forward. Solutions to problems may not be immediately apparent, but they’ll come! Until then, do what you can and make yourself proud in the activities you choose to take on. If you experience a sudden lack of steam in a relationship or project, know that it’s likely temporary. You may need to be on the fence about something, mulling things over, just for the moment. It can leave you feeling divided or drained, but can also help you gain perspective.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
