Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With today’s Mercury-Mars transit, it makes sense to take extra care communicating and drawing conclusions, dear Aries, as people can be tense and impatient. You might experience a need for closeness along with a fear of being restricted. Relations can be a little strained, or it’s an impulsive or combative time. You desire a little more mental stimulation than usual. Avoid responding too brusquely or prematurely about something that leads to regrets later. Jumping to conclusions or into action are not favored under the influence of this transit, but if you tap into its competitive energy to improve your understanding of a situation or to step up your game, you are in a fabulous place.Taurus
Watch for overstating or rushing conversations and conclusions with today’s Mercury-Mars transit, dear Taurus. The pace can be intense but tripping up is more likely if you rush through things, so do your best to tame impatience. It may very well be that you’re putting too much pressure on yourself to make a decision. New ideas are exciting, but there can also be associated worries. Mars transiting your sign makes this particular aspect more personal for you. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself, but do it without defensiveness, if possible, for best results. The temptation to push a matter or to jump into action before getting all the facts is strong but is probably unwise.Gemini
Today’s Mercury-Mars aspect can stir impatience, dear Gemini, and jumping to conclusions (or to an argument) is a consequence. Others may be aggressive about their needs, or you might feel overruled. The chances are high that people are too wrapped up in their own problems to notice much of anything else just for now. It may be best to avoid jumping to communicate as misunderstandings are possible. Because communications and conclusions can be rushed, aim to wait things out for better results. Ideally, this nervous energy is motivating if you need a push to step up your game, but it can be frustrating if pressure builds and you feel the need to make a hasty decision. Your best bet may to slow down and think things through.Cancer
With today’s Mercury-Mars square, dear Cancer, the tendency may be to rush things. Turning to others for a sense of stability could be a lesson in frustration. If you notice that people are defensive, which is highly likely, it may be better to wait for a better day to tackle the important things. The inclination is to take what’s communicated very personally. You may need to control what you say today, but don’t do this to the point that you’re not saying what you mean. An agitated atmosphere will likely ease later today when you’re more likely to catch your breath. Until then, try not to give in to the pressure to make decisions or to take action before due time, particularly with values, money, or questions of ownership.Leo
It may be best to avoid rushing decisions and watch what you say today, dear Leo, particularly professionally or publicly. The tendency may be to resist others’ wishes or to push an idea when people are too absorbed in their own desires to give yours due consideration. You may be provocative now with Mercury square Mars, whether it’s your intention or not! Mercury is currently in your sign, and Mars is in your sector of career, authority, and rules. It would be wise to check yourself for words you may later regret. Do what you can to take short breaks so that you can center yourself if you start to feel worn down since mental energy runs high.Virgo
Today’s Mercury-Mars aspect can spotlight irritating discrepancies, dear Virgo. Interactions can be edgy, and you might conclude that handling people with extra care and sensitivity is best. Even so, it can be an impulsive day for decisions and communications. You can feel quite a bit of pressure to draw conclusions or take the next step. Others seem to be a little more demanding or impatient than usual. You might consciously choose to avoid rushing matters. Aim to know more about an issue before jumping to conclusions or action. As the day advances, there could be new insight or information coming in that helps you pace yourself.Libra
With today’s Mercury-Mars square, there may be undue pressure on doing things quickly, dear Libra. This energy can point to hasty decision-making, usually from tension rather than pure instinct. Try to examine what kinds of things pull up the most frustration, as they are clues to unresolved issues driving your behavior or causing too much stress in your life. You might decide to pay extra attention to what you say, and be especially careful getting from one place to another as the tendency is to rush. As well, avoid pushing something that needs a little more time to understand fully. While the day can have its ups and downs, obstacles can motivate you to improve your life in crucial ways.Scorpio
Mercury and Mars challenge one another today, dear Scorpio, and irritation is likely. Nevertheless, you can also use frustrations as motivators to work on something on your own or set your own pace, and you might find you thoroughly enjoy the time you take to do so. Still, it may be a good idea to avoid provoking or discussing especially sensitive topics now. Disagreements tend to happen due to rushing and impatience, so make a point of slowing down and do your best not to jump to conclusions. It also makes sense to watch for rushed decision-making. You may not see essential details and should probably be careful not to come on too insistently with authority figures or in professional dealings. It’s a time when you may feel like pushing a matter, but it’s best not to force issues. Partnerships can suffer from irritability if you’re unsure where to direct excess energy.Sagittarius
Today’s Mercury-Mars aspect can stir a feeling of being pressured, dear Sagittarius. A difference of opinion can bother you more than it typically would, perhaps because you feel rushed in other areas of life. Try to pull back on the pressure and avoid overloading yourself with things to do. This transit can stimulate tendencies to push, nitpick, and argue. However, jumping into action before getting all the facts is not advised. Later today, you have a little more courage than usual to seek out and face the truth. You may be coming to a new or different perspective.Capricorn
Today’s transits can too easily leave you feeling rushed or pressured, dear Capricorn. Impatience can be an issue now, leading to poor decisions or conflicts. Moods can be sensitive as people are especially attached to their ideas. Try not to take action on a matter too quickly and avoid cutting words with people you care about. Aim to avoid snap decisions. Try to use today’s competitive energy to work on a productive project. Feeling on edge can be a difficult state to turn into a positive, but it’s also entirely possible with determination.Aquarius
Today’s Mercury-Mars square can produce some mental tension or overstimulation, dear Aquarius. Keep on the lookout for a tendency to want to do too much, too fast. It’s a little too easy to become irritated, and others can be disagreeable or demanding, or you might be expecting a lot from them. There can be ego clashes, misunderstandings, and a general tendency to jump to conclusions. Or this leap may be into action before getting all the facts. While competition can motivate you to improve your game, it may be best to tame defensiveness and impatience. Later today, however, you find it easier to focus and apply yourself to fixing problems.Pisces
Today’s Mercury-Mars square can build some tension, dear Pisces, and it’s best not to speak too quickly. This can be a time when you’re anxious to express yourself, but it’s too easy to draw hasty conclusions. Someone could communicate brusquely or insensitively, which riles you up. Changes in your daily schedule can frustrate you but are likely necessary in the long run. Try not to make decisions under pressure, especially about something you haven’t considered carefully. Save things for a better time when you have more facts and more patience!* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
