Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With today’s minor challenging aspects, dear Aries, you might connect with insecurities regarding money, relationships, or pleasures. Unresolved problems and fears of losing a position can emerge and disrupt your good humor in spots. If others are clinging firmly to what they know and what they own, you may want to delay meaningful conversations as it can be challenging to get through to one another in healthy, natural ways with today’s transits. While conversations seem light on the surface, there can be some tense undercurrents. It might benefit you to explore the root of tension, and it’s likely to be about concerns for the future or building ambitions or competition. For best results, keep a goal in mind and aim to do your best without succumbing to the pressure to do it all immediately. Pacing yourself is crucial now. Look for positive solutions and aim to keep your mind peaceful, as it’s the only way to truly learn and gain insights into your problems.Taurus
Your needs and wants are complex, and fear of change can be at the root today, dear Taurus, with Venus and Mercury in minor challenging aspects to Pluto. You may not know how to get what you want directly, and the temptation can be to find subtle or roundabout ways to pursue your goals, but this could make your life more complicated than necessary. With these transits, differences of opinion can be more challenging to navigate. You seem to crave more comfort and security in your relationships these days, but it’s not easy to let down your guard just for now. Aim for moderation. It’s hard to be productive as you focus on the less essential things, but priorities will be easier to see soon. Fortunately, the Moon’s move into your sector of joy puts you in a good spot to rise above problems.Gemini
You may be particularly sensitive to others’ agendas or motives today, dear Gemini, and you are quick to see discrepancies or problem areas. A fair part of you wants to have some fun and take things lightly, but another part can’t help but see flaws. As a result, it can be hard to relax fully. Interactions can be a little strained, particularly if insecurities drive behaviors. Others may seem hard to reach or disinterested when they may only be self-absorbed and dealing with their own concerns. Mercury’s awkward aspect to Pluto tonight suggests two separate pulls — one towards light, easy thoughts and communications, and the other towards digging up the truth of a matter. This can leave you undecided, but if you let go of one, you’ll be in a better place. With some self-honesty, you might get in touch with desires you didn’t know you had.Cancer
You may need to spend a little time sorting out your problems to clear your head today, dear Cancer. Attempt to keep things light and straightforward, but don’t entirely avoid the deeper issues, particularly if they are the same old patterns that keep emerging. Part of you wants to see the good things, and the other part focuses on negative possibilities. Choose to rise above this, but give some thought to what’s bothering you since fears and insecurities are likely to blame. For the time being, it may be best to seek ways to make yourself happy that don’t depend on others. The Moon’s move into your communications sector today stirs your curiosity.Leo
Transits today can complicate feelings or desires, dear Leo, particularly if we don’t feel comfortable with them. There may be a struggle between dealing with routines and responsibilities and wanting more time to enjoy others. The idea that you may lose ground or miss out if you don’t attend to your work can prevent you from thoroughly relaxing. There can be jealousy to navigate, choppiness in close relationships, or tension related to expectations or unfulfilled promises and responsibilities. As much as you want to “do it all,” you may benefit from some delegation of tasks or help from others. Do your best to rise above any mind games people may be playing. Aim to take charge of your own happiness by occupying your mind with something enjoyable that doesn’t depend on someone else.Virgo
Transits today can complicate your feelings or affections, dear Virgo. There might be challenges getting on board with others’ plans and ideas, particularly the long-term life path goals. Cooperation is not straightforward, and you may sense there are hidden agendas. It’s not an ideal time for new beginnings or requests, but rather a day for troubleshooting and edits. Misunderstandings or poor timing can make relating to one another a little strained. It may be a good strategy to focus on solving intellectual problems instead of attacking more emotionally-rooted ones. Don’t worry about pleasing everyone today. Consider ways to express your feelings through creative mediums, which can be especially successful now. The Moon’s move into your sign today puts you and your personal plans in the spotlight.Libra
You can have a strong urge to share your ideas or give matters further thought today, dear Libra. Still, you might try to shake it off if you’re dwelling and it’s interfering with your day. Inner fears or tensions can emerge that might impact your behavior if you allow them. The areas of life where you worry you don’t have an edge or an upper hand, possibly your home or family life, can be in focus. Attempting to get your way will not contribute to a feeling of empowerment in the long run, making it best to try to address insecurities or fears. Consider this a time to explore complicated emotions. The Moon’s move into your solar twelfth house for over two days signals the need to pull back just a little to get your bearings.Scorpio
The day is possibly good for tackling mental challenges, dear Scorpio, although finding solutions aren’t likely. It’s a day when edits or adjustments may consume much of your attention. Be aware of a tendency for communication mishaps, but consider that these can lead to new insights and understanding. There can be some frustration with conversations that seem to beat around the bush or that quickly turn into a game of power or righteousness. The desire to have the last word is strong but probably not worth the effort! The question will be whether the argument itself is more important than the people involved. Decisions revolving around ownership, money, or knowledge can be hard to come by. Fortunately, the Moon’s move into your social sector can help lighten the mood.Sagittarius
Simple conversations or interactions may end up stirring big feelings today, dear Sagittarius. With minor challenging aspects involving Pluto, there’s some tendency to play mind games or suspect the worst. Concerns about losing footing can interfere with healthy interactions. Watch for bringing worries about your practical affairs into interactions with others and try to separate the two. It’s possible that differences in values, tastes, or money emerge as issues in a relationship. These things don’t have to be disruptive if you find ways to direct emotions constructively. Ideally, you gain a new understanding of what you genuinely value through some ups and downs. While energies for communicating are below par temporarily, you might find alternative outlets for expressing yourself that can be very satisfying.Capricorn
Interactions can be tricky in spots today, dear Capricorn, as Pluto in your sign connects in minor challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus. A direct route to getting what you want isn’t apparent, so trying to maneuver things to go your way can be a temptation. While it’s probably not an ideal time to state your desires, it’s best to avoid mind games that either backfire or leave you feeling uncomfortable. Watch also for unnecessary worry, as it’s only productive to the point that it motivates you to take action to fix a problem. Beyond that, you’re wasting energy, so be kind to yourself and channel your energy into satisfying pursuits.Aquarius
Feelings can be complicated today, dear Aquarius. Strategies to get what you desire can sometimes be helpful, but they may not work in your favor now. You might notice that people seem to be harping on problem areas or scrambling to take control of situations but have trouble managing if and when they do. Interactions can be a little strained as a result. You often want to throw yourself into new experiences these days with Mercury and Venus in your creative sector. Still, a part of you can worry or hold yourself back. Consider that you may be making more of a situation than it warrants, stressing you unnecessarily. Make room if you need more time to build your confidence in an endeavor.Pisces
Transits today tend to bring out complications or complexity in your feelings and interactions, dear Pisces. You could suspect a hidden agenda when you prefer to communicate more sincerely. Insecurities can have you feeling you need to oversee your relationships or your fears keep you from resting. Relationships may not flow as smoothly as you’d like today. Still, in all likelihood, this is a temporary timing problem or a natural “ebb” in the ebb and flow of your interactions! Give yourself some time to explore your feelings before pushing forward so that you can bring them into the light rather than let them work quietly against you.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
