Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon today highlights a Mercury-Neptune square, dear Aries, and there can be some disarray or confusion. It’s not easy to see things clearly temporarily. The strength of your emotions or wishes seems to dominate. There can be resistance to following directions or instructions, compounding the problem. If you’ve been bored with what you’re learning or doing, you might resolve to make more room for creativity in your life. Small efforts to chip away at a problem that looms large are better than none. The Moon heads into your sign, amping up emotions, and as it aligns with the Moon’s North Node, it encourages you to explore and develop your independence.Taurus
Aim to grab opportunities to lighten up and release stress today, dear Taurus. Still, you may feel that your mind is playing tricks on you at times today, or there is a frustrating lack of clarity, in general. Mercury, the fact-finder, is about to clash with Neptune, which prefers a bit of mystery, and you may have to compromise to gain peace of mind. The likelihood of misunderstandings on social or romantic levels runs high, and wishful thinking could confuse your idea of others or their view of you. If a situation calls for mental focus, then be sure you double-check your reasoning. Otherwise, consider ways to revitalize work or projects that have become dull. Aim to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt to clear your vision.Gemini
There can be some foggy thinking at times today, dear Gemini, as perceptions are intensely colored by what you want to see or are afraid to see. Either way, it’s not easy to see things in a realistic light for now. Indulging in fantasy can be quite therapeutic, but the trick will be to do so in the right situations. It’s best not to approach the more significant decisions in your life based only on what you see today. Others may not know the whole story or may not be revealing it! It’s too easy to become distracted, which can signal the need for a change of pace or mental refreshment. You might enjoy the rewards of recent accomplishments or consider and set new goals, enjoying the process. Later today, the Moon heads into your social sector, and for a couple of days, you’re more inclined to reach out and connect.Cancer
You can enjoy pursuing a special topic or train of thought today, dear Cancer. The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart as the day advances, which can pull up your need to pay attention to the rules, your duties, or your goals. Still, Mercury is heading into a clashing relationship with Neptune, and distractions or uncertainties can lead to a few hassles. Situations or tasks that require crystal-clear thinking may not fare well. There’s a tendency to gloss over facts, and straight answers from others don’t seem forthcoming. Regular routines may seem dull, particularly if your mind goes back and forth between fantasy and realities. If you can manage it, taking a break so that you can refresh your mind makes sense.Leo
Even with the Moon’s move into your spirited solar ninth house today, dear Leo, you could feel a bit of an energy drain as there can be some feelings of discontent or doubt. For the most part, it’s a mental thing today and tomorrow–thinking can drain rather than energize you. Confusing situations can emerge, particularly regarding personal boundaries, others’ feelings, and financial matters. It’s not the ideal energy for setting the record straight. Information is missing or hidden, and your imagination can skew your perceptions of a situation. Resolving to live in the moment and taking care of business at a later date makes the most sense now. You may be better off leaving some things up in the air or open to interpretation.Virgo
Early today, obstacles all but disappear with love, compassion, and cooperation in the mix, dear Virgo. You prefer not to live your life on the surface with the Moon’s move, later today, into your intimacy sector. However, Mercury heads toward a square to Neptune, and there can be chaotic elements to manage or possibly some confusion with a close relationship. Distractions can lead to less-than-ideal decisions, or misunderstandings can figure strongly. While you may want to clarify a matter or express your ideas, someone may not be genuinely getting what you’re saying, or they seem uninterested. Alternatively, you may not be up to thinking hard or deeply about issues, and it makes sense to aim for flexibility with your schedules and enjoy imaginative activities.Libra
Smooth and flowing daily routines will ultimately help you achieve your goals, dear Libra, and it makes sense to put some energy into getting them into shape. The Moon heads into your partnership sector later today, bringing your feelings for others to life. Still, we approach a Mercury-Neptune square, and there can be some feelings of disorder or disorganization. This influence is good for imagination, although it can too far or work against you. It’s challenging for precise work, making it best to reserve judgment, or it’s time for a break and mental refreshment. You might resolve to seek out healthy escapes from dull tasks and routines.Scorpio
You’re in touch with your “inner child” today, dear Scorpio, and you seem to do best with a focus on creative and otherwise engaging tasks or following your heart in some manner. The pace picks up surrounding work or daily routines later today, or it may be that you’re more invested in these things. Still, a Mercury-Neptune square influences the day, leading to possible misjudgments, whether of money, time, or energy. It’s hard to be objective just for the time being. Creative activities may energize you, but real-life drama can be draining now. It’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line or to make large purchases. People could misconstrue not only what’s said but also what might be implied. The need for some mental refreshment becomes clear.Sagittarius
The Moon begins the day in your solar fourth house, dear Sagittarius, and ends it in your sector of fun, creativity, and pleasure. Your personal life is in strong focus. If you need some time to center yourself and get your bearings, today can deliver. Still, a Mercury-Neptune square influencing the day can drain you on a mental level. Seeing things clearly can be a real challenge. It’s not easy to get a point across or to find concrete answers. There can be some uncertainty or mental distraction now. Others may not be clear with (or about) you, or they might blow what you say out of proportion. If you can let go of overthinking or seeking out definitions and accuracy, this can be a good time for creative thinking and writing. Miscalculations are likely today, but going off the mark may be a helpful exercise if you take it as a learning experience.Capricorn
Light conversation or activity can give you a break from heavy thinking, dear Capricorn, or it can lead to bigger and better things. The Moon heads into your home and family sector as the day advances, where it will stay for a couple of days, encouraging your need to retreat, relax, and reset. Still, a Mercury-Neptune square influences the day, and it’s best to avoid doing things you usually wouldn’t do, particularly if they involve deception or taking significant shortcuts. In truth, this aspect can seem to encourage mental laziness or taking shortcuts that end up costly in the long run. It’s a good time to open your mind to new possibilities, as long as you keep in mind that there’s a strong tendency to mix up fantasy and reality.Aquarius
You might dream up ways to protect, improve, or build your resources today, dear Aquarius. Later today, the Moon heads into your communications sector for a couple of days, stirring your need to reach out, connect, learn, and share. With a Mercury-Neptune square influencing the day, however, you may need to change your thinking on a matter or alter your expectations. It’s best to keep in mind that perceptions may be temporarily wavering. There can be a spaced-out quality to the day, making it best to reserve judgment for a time when you feel clear-headed. It may not be a great day for schedules, but it encourages you to think up unique new ideas and plans.Pisces
You’re inclined to enjoy some self-nurture or a bit of pampering today, dear Pisces. Your feelings are your priority but as the day advances, the Moon moves into your solar second house, and a steady, predictable pace is more appealing. However, Mercury is heading into a clashing relationship with Neptune, and distractions or uncertainties can lead to a few hassles. You might expect others to understand you even without stating your needs clearly, or your fantasies could interfere with achieving your goals. The detours you make can lead to fantastic new ideas or perhaps resolutions to make important changes, but it may be best to wait and see. It’s a good idea to avoid important decision-making until you feel more confident and focused.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
