Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Any pressure building in a friendship or a project can emerge for your attention now, dear Aries. Today’s Mars-Pluto aspect can point to emerging resentments related to differing values or issues of respect. If you’ve kept too much to yourself, the stress can get to you now. Areas of tension may concern belongings, ownership, money, boundaries, possessiveness, or respect. You want to hold your own with Mars currently transiting your solar second house, and if you are in the position to depend on others, it can be more frustrating than usual. You’d be wise to confront the problem if your fear of losing someone or something prevents you from enjoying your life and finding your way. While events can stir resentment now, the good news is that you have a decent chance of identifying deeper problems.Taurus
Your desire to assert your independence or simply go your own way and do your own thing is stronger than usual, dear Taurus, with Mars currently transiting your sign (until July 20th). Usually, you readily tap into this transit’s courage and energy to get things done. Today, however, the pressures to keep cool or stick to the rules are especially active, causing some tension or a dilemma as Mars and Pluto form a square. You have many exciting ideas and plans, but putting too much energy into new efforts can get you behind on current responsibilities and projects. Stress comes today if you push processes that should be allowed to unfold over time. Competitive feelings can be powerful now. Ideally, you reach a compromise, but do consider the possibility that dialing down your ambitions just a little could reduce excess stress. It may be that you can do so without loss.Gemini
With today’s somewhat picky aspects, dear Gemini, it’s not an ideal time to take shortcuts or vent your frustrations. A difference of opinion could get you more riled up than usual, and it’s hard to do or think of much else! You might find yourself fixated on an unresolved, frustrating matter as Mars forms a square with Pluto. You’re likely to feel unprepared, and the key to easing pressures is to identify areas where you’ve been micromanaging or attempting to control and then consciously ease off them a little. It can be challenging to focus or concentrate with so much on your mind, but if you work on this, the goals should be to diffuse and decompress. Fears can magnify to bigger-than-life proportions where Pluto is concerned, and dealing with their origins can help manage tensions. Consider that seeking perspective or advice from someone who’s not as close to the situation can provide valuable support.Cancer
Transits today may disrupt the flow just a little, dear Cancer, turning your attention to your deeper issues or lingering problems. It’s a time to take charge and eliminate a habit that doesn’t work in your favor. While it may not be straightforward, remember that baby steps can lead to significant changes. Whether it’s a superstition, fear, or another attitude that gives the power up to something or someone else instead of keeping it for yourself, you have the power to change it. People may be stubborn today, and the areas where you feel drained of energy, time, or money become more prominent. But with your wits about you and by avoiding short-sighted decision-making, you can navigate through these challenges. If power dynamics are an issue, remember that there are ways to manage and share power from now on. Today’s energies are complicated, but your reactions to problems can be highly revealing. Priorities may be hard to decide, but give yourself time to help things fall into place.Leo
Mars is stirring your ambitions as it transits your solar tenth house until July 20th, dear Leo, and it’s one of the more goal-oriented periods of the year. However, with today’s Mars-Pluto clash, there can be a conflict between a relationship and your duties, responsibilities, or worldly or strategic goals. It’s crucial to maintain a balance and not to overemphasize one to the detriment of another. You should have room for both of these life departments. If one drive is taking over, it’s a sign to ease some pressure! People close to you can seem quite demanding or even pushy right now, or you may feel caught in the middle of a power struggle. Still, interactions might put you in touch with your fear of change in your relationships. Your first reaction may be to scramble to find ways to regain or maintain control, but attempts to do so can bring about undesirable results. Perhaps the best strategy today is to aim to rise above your fears and find that sweet spot of balance.Virgo
Today’s Moon keeps you engaged in the background, dear Virgo. It’s best not to overextend yourself today. Even so, a Mars-Pluto transit can find you getting fired up over an issue, but outlets for expressing yourself seem limited. Instead, the desire to advance your work or health is at odds with your need to expand, learn, and experience life firsthand. It can be challenging to ease off in either area. Mind you, with Pluto transiting your solar sixth house, work and health are areas you’re more likely to overdo or where you’re so ambitious that other areas of your life are suffering. If these things keep you from venturing out and experiencing more of life, it’s time to find ways to strike a balance. With this tense aspect, it may not be easy to know when to let go of an argument, line of thought, or activity, but it’s best to avoid pushing. Fears tend to magnify problem areas today. Think about ways to share the load or divide your time more efficiently so that you can catch a break.Libra
While the Moon in your easygoing social sector is cooperative and light, dear Libra, your impulses tend to be intense today as Mars and Pluto form a square. The tendency to dwell runs high, but there is the option to use intense emotions and compulsions constructively. Mars in your intimacy sector until July 20th can stir up previously buried matter, and in its clash with Pluto today, it can aggravate tensions in relationships or on an emotional level. Resentments can surface if someone isn’t taking you seriously. Your excitement may not be mirrored back to you, which can be frustrating, or there can be questions about how involved you want to be with a project. So much is riding on a relationship or project that it’s losing its fun factor, or it could even be taking over your life in unpleasant ways. If so, it may be time to even things out. There could instead be a standoff or unexpected event related to finances or relationship dynamics. While disruptive, this transit shows you where you’ve been overdoing, micromanaging, or unnecessarily fearful. It’s important to recognize and address these control issues. Aim to let go of something, even a little, if your grip is too tight.Scorpio
Mars, the planet of action and energy, is transiting your partnership sector until July 20th, dear Scorpio, exciting your interactions and cooperative efforts. This transit is particularly significant, as it can bring about a more assertive and proactive approach in your relationships. Today, Mars clashes with Pluto in your home and family sector, and you can feel torn between the wants and needs of others and your own feelings and fears. Frustrations can run high, and resentful feelings can emerge. You may feel someone is more often putting their agendas over yours, for example. Consider that impulsiveness and impatience can be problematic right now. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a situation, it’s time to try to ease off and release some pressure. You’ll be in the best shape if you take time to relax, center yourself, and pursue your ambitions later. If you have too much going on in all areas of your life, you’ll feel the imbalance more acutely now, prompting the need to pare things down. It’s a good time to let go of something negative or useless.Sagittarius
With Mars transiting your sector of work, health, and habits until July 20th, dear Sagittarius, you have a boost of energy and motivation to tackle your daily affairs. However, as Mars and Pluto form a square today, it’s crucial to be attentive and aware. There’s a tendency to push matters that can inadvertently invite more problems. While competition can be beneficial, this transit tends to put on the pressure. Your desire to address an intolerable situation is intense today, making it challenging to walk away from conflict. If you find yourself dwelling on something to your detriment, or if the need to be right has caused unhealthy tension, it’s time to work on strategies to reduce stress. Changes in communications or approaches might help. This transit is about letting go of projects, ideas, or attitudes that keep you from thriving and growing. But first, it’s essential to see what’s holding you back and approach your work and health with moderation to avoid unnecessary stress and conflicts.Capricorn
Some concerns and worries may pressure you at times today, dear Capricorn, with a Mars-Pluto square that has you feeling conflicted. It may be that your feelings toward someone are causing complications, or there can be tensions or disagreements related to money, ownership, and values. Fortunately, through these conflicts, you can learn a lot about yourself and your situation. The goal is to manage fears and insecurities that have prevented you from following your heart, pursuing love, or expressing yourself creatively. You have a somewhat cautious and conservative streak regarding your money and possessions these days, and related tensions can run high now. This aspect tends to magnify insecurities and fears along these lines. It may not be easy to fully back a decision today, as there is a sense that something is exaggerated or magnified, good or bad. Resolve not to worry about what–or how–someone is communicating since today’s transits make it all too easy to misinterpret their words.Aquarius
Mars is transiting your solar fourth house until July 20th, dear Aquarius, stirring up buried matter on an emotional level or energizing your home and personal life. As it’s in a challenging aspect with Pluto today, Mars can highlight how these things conflict with your plans and need for independence. It’s crucial to prioritize self-care during these times, as you may need to loosen your grip on a matter that keeps you on high alert or under too much stress for your own good. This will allow you to breathe and decompress, recognizing the need to relax and detox. Your strong sense of pride and privacy may trip you up sometimes as Pluto transits your sign, as you tend to shoulder many responsibilities without sharing the load. Be careful not to alienate others. As frustrating as they may be, aggravations are likely to be temporary. Working on matters of independence is a worthy mission, but it takes time!Pisces
Today’s Mars-Pluto square can ramp up tensions at times today, dear Pisces, especially by stirring up lingering control issues. You may feel tense about deadlines or impatient with matters that aren’t accelerating at your desired pace. Certainly, there can be uneasy feelings, words, or thoughts, but it’s an excellent time to recognize and address these emotions if they’re hanging around. Consider that guardedness of your privacy and unwillingness to explore the deeper issues may aggravate tensions. This is a reminder of the importance of self-reflection and emotional awareness, as something you’ve swept under the carpet may be better dealt with than avoided since it can otherwise emerge in disruptive ways. In truth, the tendency to fixate on a specific topic or idea can be positive if you apply it to a project requiring extra attention, as long as you avoid pushing things too hard. Under today’s transits, worries and concerns magnify, and you may want to watch for a tendency to see the best or the worst of a situation rather than merely seeing it for what it’s worth.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
