Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Today’s transits are strong for releasing problems through conversation, musings, and healing activities, dear Aries. Sometimes, putting something in words, whether spoken or written, frames a situation differently, and the resulting new perspective helps. The confidence you get from your support system can carry you far, and your home or family life can be a significant factor in the decisions you make right now. Thinking and communicating can be heavily influenced by your dreams and intuition, and ideas come together in magical ways. Transits enhance your ability to imagine possibilities and express yourself creatively. Conversations with those closest to you can be unusually compassionate or inspiring today. While you might be encouraged to do some inner exploration, you can feel satisfied with things as they are for the time being. Later today, watch for nerves or tensions ramping up.Taurus
Today’s transits stimulate the more idealistic side of your nature, dear Taurus, and they favor slowing down luxuriously, if you can manage it. It can be an excellent time to bring more harmony and acceptance into a friendship or enjoy conversations that similarly open you up. Connections with people may be unexpected, pleasant, and serendipitous. You might express an idea or opinion that inspires or delights others, or friends or networks can encourage you. With understanding so intuitive and natural today, you’re absorbing what you learn more than usual. People are more inclined to recognize your value as a friend, and it feels great. Later today, watch for fear-based thinking that doesn’t do you any favors.Gemini
There can be a magical way in which ideas come together today, dear Gemini. You’re likely to enjoy experiences that boost your self-esteem and faith in yourself. You might come up with ideas that help you improve your workflow, and you can be very imaginative with practical and business solutions. Or you recognize ways to improve your reputation, and bringing a spirit of creativity and generosity to your duties can be rewarding. Getting in touch with your intuition about your life path or money-making ideas and ventures can be exciting. Let imagination work for you today! The intangible or spiritual realms are a real part of your daily life right now, and this helps to make you feel more secure and filled. Later today might find you tensing up, and it’s better to use this energy to be productive rather than argue or fret.Cancer
Your imagination is strong today, dear Cancer, and you see beyond the ordinary. Mercury and the Sun, currently in your sign, connect harmoniously with dreamy, inspiring, and imaginative Neptune, and you’re in touch with your more spiritual qualities. Problems that were perplexing in recent days tend to seem less daunting, perhaps because your faith that things will work out for the best is strengthening. You’re in great shape to make plans and imagine possibilities. Self-improvement is appealing, and you’re wide open to learning and growing. Much of what you are doing now has an alluring appeal, particularly related to your communications. It’s easier than usual to put elusive concepts into words, or your tendency to express a higher level of empathy can win you an admirer. Thoughts are lofty now, and conversations can be inspiring. Sharing your big ideas with others can help fuel the flames of your own inspiration. Or, following your inner guide or muse encourages others to want to do the same.Leo
Behind-the-scenes matters tend to go well for you right now, dear Leo, and you may begin to see a grand design behind recent events in your life. Your intuition is running high. Tap into it, and pay attention to coincidences or note subtle signs and patterns. Letting go of overthinking or habits that are not working for you is vital now. Helpful, inspiring, or simply enjoyable conversations can figure prominently. It’s a good time to combine logic and creativity and attend to practical matters with positive thinking. Your mind might open to an idea or concept that you previously overlooked. Someone could be putting their faith in you and might take you into their confidence.Virgo
Today’s transits encourage connecting with others in compassionate ways, dear Virgo. Others show you (or you choose to see) their very best side. You can expect some pretty interesting and hopeful ideas or conversations now. You might find it easier to put your worries aside in the first part of the day and enjoy yourself more thoroughly. Relationships are more supportive or pleasant, and agreements come organically. Your perspective is changing very positively, and it can feel wonderful to see the world a little differently. As you put more faith in your relationships and your fondest hopes and wishes, you’re in fine shape to dream up new ideas or reinvest energy into your current ones. A new layer of understanding and acceptance in a partnership can boost things up. It’s a good time to do some big-picture thinking, particularly about pet projects or causes. As the day advances, however, some tension is possible. Others may be pulling up frustrations in you.Libra
Your instincts are powerful for what to say and how to say it today, dear Libra, especially with the public or regarding your work. You’re more tuned in to the altruistic purposes of your life, and you’re in an excellent position to dream up imaginative ways to further your goals or career. The finer things in life uniquely appeal to you and can play a decisive role in your plans. Your faith in your dreams inspires you to adjust your plans accordingly. This can be a time when you say something particularly meaningful or inspiring, and it catches on. Your approach to achieving your goals is improved and renewed. Still, as the day advances, worries or concerns could begin to dominate your mind as Mercury moves to oppose Pluto. The tendency is to put too much into a matter.Scorpio
Focusing on the bigger picture can bring much joy today, dear Scorpio, as you let go of a tendency to overthink. Energies today can help boost sharing and learning. Forgiveness and compassion can be healing, whether giving or receiving these things. It’s a good day for sharing personal philosophies. The desire or need to share something personal, private, or previously hidden can be in focus. Conversations can be inspiring and uplifting, and your musings can lead you to a higher level of understanding. You might harness your imagination and channel it into something productive. However, as the day advances, mental tensions can rise as a Mercury-Pluto opposition comes into play. Ideally, frustrations reveal hidden desires, which can help motivate you in the future, so don’t be too quick to discard what you confront.Sagittarius
With today’s transits, you give more power to your imagination and dreams, dear Sagittarius. Drawing on compassion and understanding comes naturally and benefits you today. Family or loved ones can inspire you, or your goals relate to improving your intimate and personal life. Ideas coming together now can be golden. Intimate relationships tend to fare well, particularly with the lines of communication open and a willingness to look for the hidden layers. Your confidence in yourself or your plans helps get things going. It can be a great time to tap into your imagination and let it work its magic, especially related to your family or home life.Capricorn
Transits help you let go of a tendency to control or oversee things, dear Capricorn. Nonverbal communication can speak louder than words today. Letting something go or performing a compassionate act can be particularly rewarding. There can be a boost to a connection or relationship, and easy energy is with you for expressing your more charming and creative side. Conversations and interactions are spontaneous and imaginative. Today’s influences encourage you to approach relating with freshness rather than fall back on old, ineffective patterns. Or, someone in your life motivates you to think more imaginatively. While agreements tend to be mutually beneficial, later today, you could feel short-changed. There seems to be a hidden agenda in exchanges.Aquarius
You might enjoy activities that remind you of the beauty of the moment, dear Aquarius, or those that bring inner rewards. With Neptune’s strong and positive influence, spiritual well-being should be today’s goal. Transits in the first part of the day are ideal for a natural flow of communication, and ideas that come to you are incredibly unique or creative. Reaching people in different ways or expressing yourself in ways that please others can figure strongly. You’ll likely bring something new, imaginative, fresh, or unique to business or work projects. Your intuition tends to serve you much better than over-analyzing a situation or focusing too much on facts and figures. Handy information about health, money, or work can emerge. However, as the day advances, focusing on the flaws can be a tendency to watch for.Pisces
Today’s Neptune transits are especially comfortable for you, dear Pisces. As well, the Moon in your sign highlights traits that come naturally to you. You’re expressing yourself creatively, and others seem to hear and appreciate your ideas or contributions. Somebody may look up to you for your wisdom, or people seem more compassionate, interested, and sympathetic to your cause. You are in your element! Tolerance, allowance for errors, and the desire to learn and improve are all keys to success today. Later today, mental excitement may cross the line into irritation or aggravation. Watch for putting so much into a line of thought that you lose your good humor.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
