Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Aries, stirring a strong awareness of your relationships and need for companionship. It’s a good day for streamlining tasks. Later today, you might wrestle with insecurities or wonder whether to go your own way versus maintaining the status quo. Try not to take on too many problems that are not your own if you find people around you are a little cranky. You’ll quickly recognize the need for a mission today, even if it’s modest. You might feel a little discouraged, not knowing where to begin. Breaking out along a new path of self-expression will come across as insincere or rebellious if you’re not entirely behind it. Take that time if you need more time to truly own it.Taurus
The path to fulfillment seems to be taking care of the practical aspects and details of your life today, dear Taurus, and it can be rewarding to seek ways to simplify your life and narrow your focus. It’s easier than usual to identify practical priorities. As the day advances, you could have some feelings of being overlooked or otherwise in the background. It doesn’t feel straightforward to make big decisions. It may be that someone needs to clear the air. Insecurities can be a problem, but learning from them is also very possible and wholly worthwhile.Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your playful, expressive solar fifth house, dear Gemini, making it a good time for creating and enjoying favorite pastimes. Even so, some formality can be present in your relationships, and you can find that you’re sufficiently detached to talk about goals, commitments, and rules. This can actually strengthen your connections with others in the long term. As the day advances, it’s not a time for pushing your agenda. Transits might stir insecurities related to a friend, group, or finances. Watch that you don’t go along with others’ plans just for the sake of keeping the peace, all the while ignoring your inner voice. Keep an open mind and aim to learn about yourself if something touches a nerve or if an emotional wound reopens.Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your family and home sector, dear Cancer, stirring a need for familiarity and comfort. Friends may demand more of your attention or possibly support today, but you may prefer to be in the company of those closest to you just for now. You may be told a secret or asked to keep someone’s confidence. As the day advances, it may not be the best time for big decisions, but you’re in good shape for making valuable connections and learning from vulnerability. The demands of career, family, parents, or other responsibilities make themselves known. While you can be very sensitive to expectations and limitations, you may lack the confidence to do something about it just for now. You don’t have to toe the line completely, as that will lead to inner frustration, but you might decide to wait things out until you have a plan you can call your own. If someone or something hits a nerve, then you know that a part of you feels there’s room for improvement.Leo
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Leo, stirring a desire to learn, connect, and mingle. It’s a great time to put out feelers and pick up assorted information tidbits that are useful or fun. However, don’t let insecurities cause you to shy away from things you love. As the day advances, there can be minor disappointments or unresolved problems from the past emerging for your attention. You could be struggling with your faith in a belief, idea, direction, or relationship. Some analysis can be useful, but only to a certain extent, after which it’s overthinking. Try not to take others’ views too personally and resolve to learn from anything that seems to trigger feelings of vulnerability now–it can be highly instructional and rewarding.Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your resources sector, dear Virgo, and settling down or settling in can be a goal. It’s a good time to research business opportunities. It’s a stronger day for independent activities than for teamwork, even though you are perfectly equipped to work with others. You enjoy the feeling of inner power and self-reliance that this provides. As the day advances, self-doubts might undermine your decisions and interactions, particularly if you work on auto-pilot. Still, a temporary lack of confidence might help you out. For example, you might choose to use the time wisely to get in better touch with yourself and your needs. It’s possible you’re confused about feelings in a relationship or with support (financial or otherwise). You might decide to hold off on making a bold move until you’re sure that your plan is something you can truly put your name on.Libra
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Libra, reinforcing your sensitivity and courage. With this transit, you have a stronger sense of self, but you’re also a little more vulnerable. You may be dealing with a bit of guilt about things you aren’t accomplishing, however. It’s a good time for following some emotional whims in moderation, but watch for impatience. As the day advances, you might deal with some insecurities related to your performance, meeting responsibilities, or close relationships due to an upcoming Sun-Chiron square. Avoid trying too hard to please people, and aim to serve yourself by meeting others halfway, as this protects you from building up resentment. It can be a fine time for identifying weaknesses or vulnerabilities that need attention. You might discover that you need to work on asserting yourself more effectively with a partner.Scorpio
There can be an introspective flavor to the day, dear Scorpio. It’s not the best time for being heard and understood clearly. In fact, at times, you might feel overlooked. However, it’s a strong time to gather yourself, find your center, and catch up on rest or quiet. As the day advances, it may be all too easy for others to touch upon your sore spots, although the result may be that you take necessary actions to firm up a vulnerable area of your life. With an upcoming Sun-Chiron square, interactions with others aren’t straightforward, and you can feel some guilt for underperforming. However, it’s best to check in with insecurities, as you could be too hard on yourself today.Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in your solar eleventh house, dear Sagittarius, stirring a desire or need to seek out the camaraderie of friends. Instead, this transit can encourage you to connect with your dreams or happiness goals. As the day advances, some minor discomfort may be necessary for you to get over a hump. The Sun in your intimacy sector is heading toward a clash with Chiron, and the general temptation is to go along with whatever we feel makes others happy or appeases them. However, this can only lead to problems down the road. Emotional attachments can be a little confusing temporarily. Insecurities can surface, but with self-awareness, the day can be instructive and eye-opening. Doubts might motivate you to take action, resolve problems, and get out of a funk.Capricorn
With today’s Moon, having a mission or goal, even if it’s a simple one, is most likely to improve your mood, dear Capricorn. You can enjoy drawing up long-term plans and strategies. As the day advances, however, a Sun-Chiron square influences you, and problems in the home or with family are best sorted out openly and honestly. The temptation may be to use a band-aid approach, but it’s best to look deeper and work on the root of issues. A partner may seem to be pushing your buttons. Identify your limits concerning when you feel put upon so that you can cap things before they’re exceeded. Fortunately, getting over a soft spot will be empowering.Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your sector of spirit, dear Aquarius, which can be uplifting. Pulling yourself out of everyday life’s duller details to work on freshening your mind can be most worthwhile now. With a Sun-Chiron square influencing the later part of the day, it’s best to watch for appeasing someone to keep the peace. This transit can point to hypersensitivity, and there may be poor timing with conversations or scheduling matters. It’s probably better to be politely honest instead of taking the roundabout or avoidant route. However, if you can put off important conversations, interviews, or presentations, it may be for the best. Insecurities tend to emerge in social situations today and early tomorrow. Ideally, you’ll find beauty in imperfections on a second look.Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your intimacy sector, dear Pisces, stirring up deeper feelings and a desire to learn more about your needs. Aim to get in touch with your own inner power. As the day advances, a Sun-Chiron square comes into influence, perhaps pulling up insecurities and soft spots. Certainly, sensitivity now can interfere with healthy, growth-oriented interactions, but exploring why can be helpful. Mixed signals with friends and lovers are possible. You may be entertaining the idea of taking a risk, but part of you would rather not rock the boat. It may be that your inner voice is telling you that it’s not quite the right time to push forward. Take more time to consider details and only take the leap when true confidence returns. Aim to learn about vulnerable areas that seem to be easily triggered today.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
