Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Chiron turns retrograde in your sign today, dear Aries, and in the coming five months, the healing energy you’ve radiated turns inward, making it a fine time for efforts to heal yourself. The shift this week can leave you feeling misunderstood or vulnerable in spots, but the cycle ahead is excellent for getting some relief. People have been seeking your good vibes, assistance, healing powers, and advice, and it’s appropriate now to get in closer touch with your own issues. A break from doing things for others can help you do so. Also today, picky aspects can temporarily interfere with your good mood, as insecurities may keep you from enjoying yourself or expressing yourself naturally. If others seem a little distant, recognize that they may be a little self-absorbed and let things play out as they may. There can be spots when you feel unsettled about a matter related to a friend or associate, which can interfere with productivity. Try not to allow doubts to dominate your thoughts or discussions.Taurus
Chiron turns retrograde today, dear Taurus, and until December 29th, it’s a powerful period for healing through understanding your past and your spiritual and emotional needs. This shift can point to some disorientation, doubt, or insecurity, but it’s temporary. Dreams and seemingly coincidental events this week can serve as clues as to what inner work needs special attention. Your outer schedule may not be very straightforward but will be clearer once you’ve made some internal adjustments. The temptation can be to shut down a little on an emotional level, as you have been attracting a lot of people who seem to need your help, and it’s time that you pay more attention to your own needs. Picky aspects today can stir up worries about impending changes related to your career or reputation or concerns about not being on top of things. For instance, a fear of becoming less relevant in a business endeavor or of falling behind can be at the root of tensions. You can’t resolve this all at once, but you can make a plan to strengthen areas where you feel the most vulnerable, and then take it one step at a time.Gemini
Chiron turns retrograde today, dear Gemini, and existing problems, especially in your social life, can assume more importance in your mind this week. They can act as a trigger for further self-examination. For example, if you’ve been trying too hard to please others recently, you’re more likely to recognize this tendency and want to pull back. During this retrograde that lasts until December 29th, you might examine why you feel the need to overcompensate. Alternatively, if you’ve felt disconnected from your peers, an associate, or a particular friend, you’re inclined to go a little deeper to find an answer. Doing more for others not only doesn’t repair relationships but can also take you further away from the heart of the problem. It’s easier to see this in the months ahead. Today, you might question your instincts. While indecision can be uncomfortable now, it’s better than making poor decisions. It’s not the time to have a healthy conversation about something dear to your heart.Cancer
Chiron begins its retrograde cycle today, dear Cancer, that will last until December 29th. This shift may draw up doubts or insecurities about your current life path, performance, leadership skills, or career. Fears or vulnerabilities temporarily magnify, which leads to the need or desire to explore why. In the months ahead, you may get to the bottom of possible overcompensating, procrastinating, or worrying in these areas of life. It’s an excellent cycle for working with various healing techniques. You’re likely to get in better touch with your true needs and goals. Also today, picky aspects pull up money worries. It’s not an ideal time for straightforward moves. Some guardedness is fine, but don’t worry so much that you forget to enjoy yourself! Simply make an extra effort to think twice before sharing your opinions or problems just for now. You may decide that feeling guilty or on edge is indeed a waste of psychic energy. It may be difficult to see progress at the moment, but little steps do count.Leo
Chiron’s yearly retrograde cycle begins today, dear Leo, and will last until December 29th. It’s powerful for re-examining beliefs and goals. You may question current studies or activities in terms of whether they represent you and your current beliefs or interests. This struggle is more internalized during the retrograde cycle as you examine what may need healing within yourself, and it all begins now. Also today, there can be some awkward choices or decisions related to relationships and boundaries or money and ownership. Somebody may be a little withholding now. Try to be patient if the timing is off. Some discontent or discomfort can push you to make much-needed adjustments and changes. You may not see obvious forward movement now, but the workarounds you make can improve your life significantly later.Virgo
Chiron begins its five-month retrograde cycle today, dear Virgo, pointing to a shift in how you habitually deal with support, dependency, intimacy, power-sharing, and finances. While you have a stronger ability to bring out the best in others with Chiron’s current transit, there can be times when you feel you’re taking on the emotional burden and weight of others’ problems a little too often. Chiron’s retrograde gives you a little break from this and is also strong for examining why you may be overcompensating or avoiding your own issues in these areas of your life. This week, there can be something that triggers this inward journey. With today’s aspects, you could feel that the timing is off, and you might discover that the best approach is to move forward, back off, and then try again. Mercury in your sign forms an awkward angle with Pluto, and you can feel on high alert regarding what you say or how you say it. People may be difficult to please now. Pressures to get things done can be intense, conflicting with your desire to go your own way and do your own thing. Some form of realignment or re-routing can do you good, mainly related to health, work, and habits. Adjustments made now can be useful ones.Libra
Chiron turns retrograde today, dear Libra, and revelations now or this week signal a need for healing or further examination regarding relationships. If you’ve made too many sacrifices for others, you’ll recognize the imbalance now. In the months ahead, until December 29th, you might get to the heart of any fears or damage that prevents you from doing more for yourself, which gets you on the road to healing. Once adjusted to Chiron’s shift in direction, this retrograde cycle is powerful for learning about your relationship needs. Today, patience is necessary to muster up. Remember that you get what you give, but not always instantly! You may suspect a hidden agenda in communications, or you may have your own due to a Mercury-Pluto aspect. Watch for a tendency to want to control results or situations, as this drains you.Scorpio
Today, dear Scorpio, Chiron begins its retrograde cycle that lasts until December 29th. If you’ve overcompensated in health or work areas, you’ll recognize the problem now, and you might examine why. Consider what about your daily routines (or your approach to them) leaves you feeling that you haven’t done enough or haven’t been effective. Instead, if you’ve been very busy serving and helping others, events and revelations are such that you recognize the need to turn your helping and healing efforts towards your own needs for a while. Also today, people may seem a little distant or cool at times, but this can be due to anxiety and is unlikely to be a reflection of real feelings. It can be tricky balancing your thoughts and interactions related to your friends and social life with issues related to home and family. Watch for the tendency to want to maneuver things to go your way, as this can make things more complicated than they need to be.Sagittarius
There can be some see-sawing between the desire to stick with what always works and the willingness to try something non-routine, new, and unfamiliar, dear Sagittarius, as both choices seem equally attractive right now! You may not feel on top of your schedule, and your best bet might be to take on as few demanding activities as possible to avoid the feeling that you’re running behind. Try to be gentle in your communications now, and be careful about what you reveal, but also consider being gentle on yourself by not going to negative places. Also today, Chiron begins its yearly retrograde phase, and until December 29th, you’re in a solid position to learn more deeply about your needs for self-expression, romance, or creative pursuits. You’re also recognizing insecurities you may have along these lines. If you’ve been overcompensating, it’s time to see which fears are at the root of this behavior. Events today and this week can be catalysts for beginning this personal healing process.Capricorn
Chiron begins its retrograde cycle today, dear Capricorn, and it will last for over five months–until December 29th. This yearly cycle is powerful for self-discovery and healing. Suppose you’ve been working so hard to please loved ones or make your life secure that you feel drained and perhaps a little resentful–you now want to balance things out. There can be a need to draw much of that energy inward toward your own nurture and care. In the months ahead, you’re well-positioned to examine and identify the roots of insecurities. Today, knowing how to approach a matter or conversation can be difficult. If you miss the mark, try not to fret or take it too personally since the timing is off now. Watch for mixed signals since communications are likely to be tricky. You may be second-guessing your first impression or past choices, and you may only need a change of pace. You may need more time for self-understanding before you can confidently deal with a problem.Aquarius
Chiron, a longer-term guest in your communications sector, begins its five-month retrograde cycle today, dear Aquarius. This shift can temporarily magnify any insecurities you might feel about self-expression, learning, or intelligence. However, as you grow accustomed to the retrograde in the months ahead (until December 29th), you recognize the opportunities to get in touch with what may be driving fears. This cycle can open your eyes to ways to repair and heal problem areas or do beneficial inner work. Also today, picky transits make it somewhat difficult to cozy up to someone or even to an idea or project. Material limitations may make themselves known now, or there can be an irritating inability to agree with someone close to you. It’s also possible that you find it hard to satisfy an itch, primarily because you’re unsure where it’s coming from! Minor problems can seem larger than life, as you may be giving too much power to a matter that is not significant in the long run.Pisces
Chiron turns retrograde today for over five months, presenting a profound opportunity for self-discovery, dear Pisces. This retrograde cycle, lasting until December 29th, invites you to gain a new perspective on your sense of self-worth and how this influences what you attract into your life. This isn’t just about your income, but also the emotional and spiritual benefits you deserve. Today and this week, events can act as catalysts for this inner journey, sparking introspection and self-examination. Today’s picky aspects might temporarily get in the way of closeness with someone. It’s time to review the balance of work and play in your life so that you can feel better about your life and your relationships. Keep in mind that people may be making mountains out of molehills now, and try not to invest too much of yourself in current discussions if they’re steering in uncomfortable directions. You’d be best off letting things unfold naturally rather than make drastic or bold moves. While today may not be the most productive on a practical level, it makes sense to gather your strength for opportunities ahead of you.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
