Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Resurfacing worries you’ve been keeping at bay about your long-term plans, life path, career, responsibilities, or reputation are the possible root of today’s tensions, dear Aries. Instead of giving in to paranoid thinking, aim to focus on weak areas and fix them one step at a time. What’s most therapeutic now is a commitment to resolving minor problems systematically. There can be a somewhat obsessive quality to certain aspects of the day. Something may be confusing or left hanging, and if so, try to give it a little time and come back at it when you feel ready. Fortunately, you benefit from an influence that boosts your work through a willingness to resolve problems. There can be great prospects involving your work or health. It’s an excellent time to nurture or grow a business or work project. You have a sharp sense of what is worthwhile and what might only be fluff.Taurus
You’re more able to pace yourself and consider practical angles today, dear Taurus. Fulfilling your duties also makes sense, as it will free you up for more engaging activities later. Emotional blocks can loosen in your relationships. Your personality shines, and others may especially enjoy being around you. Finding new or renewed ways to express yourself can be rewarding. As the day advances, something can be on your mind involving a moral dilemma, concern (possibly financial), or uncertainty about your next step. It can be challenging to let something go. You may have to navigate disagreements about spending, values, and respect, or there’s an inner battle as you question yourself or your recent choices. If people are unhappy and you feel caught in the middle, try to think up strategies for choosing a side or making a stand, as playing both (or many) sides only serves to complicate your life further. However, there are also some opportunities, and you may need to make a slight adjustment to get back on track. In fact, you can be industrious and ready to put your ideas into action.Gemini
You’re spirited but grounded in the first half of the day, dear Gemini, and pacing yourself benefits you. Coming to someone’s aid can be rewarding. Your faith in a project or line of work can take you places! Today is also powerful for family and intimate relationships, particularly as you’re emotionally courageous. Influences later today can make it hard for clear-cut choices, however. If you find yourself driven by a desire to rid yourself of some unpleasant elements of the past, consider devising a good strategy rather than rushing things. Tension can arise over situations that make you feel guilty or neglectful, so getting in touch with what may be undermining your happiness is vital. Watch also for vague problems based on fears of betrayal, jealousy, or resentment. There can be a trigger of an unresolved, pre-existing issue. While you don’t want the rug pulled from under you, obsessing over a situation won’t necessarily protect you from changes. In fact, it’s better to work on an area of over-attachment than worry about losing it. Fortunately, pouring your energies into something you’re passionate about can be therapeutic.Cancer
Energies are strong in the first half of the day for growing a bond, dear Cancer, particularly as you share ideas or past experiences. It is easier than usual to discuss issues and problems, focusing on improvement and repair. A friendship may feel more hopeful, and a relationship can benefit from improvements and refinements. Later today, you can be more distractable. Take on as few demanding activities as possible to avoid the feeling that you’re running behind. If you’re feeling restless with your routine but also need to put things in order, which is quite likely now, consider attending to both needs in little ways. There can be temporary obstacles to rest and healing, likely to do with an old, resurfacing relationship problem. It’s best not to get caught up in emotional game playing. You might consider ways to guard yourself against gossip, as private matters might surface or come to light. However, it’s also essential to treat the source, which can be guilt or fears about past issues. This way, if problems surface, you’ll be much better equipped to manage or address them.Leo
In the first half of the day, energies are good for discovering ways to realize a goal or dream, dear Leo. Helping others can be rewarding. You’re in fine shape for making connections and satisfying interactions. People in high places look on you favorably, or fulfilling your duties is more pleasurable now. You have a keen sense of which pursuits are most worthwhile. As the day advances, questions of commitment and attachment can arise. While you can be enthused about staying abreast of your work, chores, or health pursuits, this special attention can be excessive or at the root of tension. If something is left hanging and you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop, letting go of control may be necessary, even if it’s just a little bit or briefly! While there may be a resurfacing physical complaint or work concern nagging at you, you’re determined to succeed and solve problems.Virgo
It’s a fertile time for creative ideas and zeroing in on projects that truly matter to you, dear Virgo. The first half of the day is good for expanding your horizons or opening your heart to new ideas. Guiding and sharing ideas can figure strongly and positively. Someone may be opening up to your unique outlook or helping boost your self-image. It can be an ideal time to consult with someone special or brainstorm and come up with inspiring ideas. Later today and into tomorrow, it can be too easy to focus on what you’re missing rather than what you have. The Sun, currently at the top of your solar chart, is heading into an awkward aspect with Pluto just before it leaves this sector, creating a temporary slowdown. Ideally, it helps direct your attention to areas where you can make improvements. Certainly, there may be more substantial demands on your time, leaving you with fewer opportunities to pursue your interests. You might also worry about things that you can’t truly control. You can be concerned about meeting your responsibilities or meeting others’ standards. It’s best to use this energy to work on plans that help you overcome fears and concerns instead of letting them drag you down. Doing so can free you up to take advantage of the opportunities of the day.Libra
You can have a stronger sense of purpose in the first half of the day, dear Libra, and a strong understanding of what will work and thrive. You more easily channel your energy into satisfying activities. It’s also a potentially excellent time for breakthroughs related to home or family. As the day advances, emotions are complicated, and self-limitation can be an issue. People may be trying to pull your strings, or you could be wrestling with your fears of making a change now as the Sun and Pluto head into an awkward aspect. Let mysteries unravel slowly rather than push something that isn’t ready to reveal itself. If you’re stuck in the same place, either physically or emotionally, aim to feed your restless spirit with something mentally refreshing. Remember that you’re more inclined to blow an issue out of proportion if you’re overwhelmed, so aim to reduce stress and gain a little perspective. Complicated feelings aside, great energy is coming for solving problems and tying up loose ends.Scorpio
You can enjoy special connections with someone that are meaningful and supportive of your growth and goals today, dear Scorpio. Collaborating can be very productive, and you might have the opportunity to show yourself in the best light. A lack of a solid plan may be the root of discontent later today. A Sun-Pluto aspect coming into influence can point to overthinking things. Old concerns about communications, learning, daily affairs, and staying on top of learning or personal interests can resurface. You don’t want to be out of the loop, but pulling yourself away sometimes is a must. Take care of yourself and take a break from overthinking. Try not to let a desire to control things interfere with self-understanding or a close relationship. Fortunately, good energy is with you for tackling problems and pouring extra energy into something you love.Sagittarius
In the first half of the day, transits are potent for physical therapy or earthy and grounding activities, dear Sagittarius. You easily zero in on the most worthwhile activities that boost your income or career satisfaction. You can benefit from approaching these affairs with more care. With the Sun approaching a Pluto aspect later today, there is some tendency to dwell on matters with no immediate resolution. However, it’s probably better to focus on those things you can control and work on problems one step at a time. Try not to let worry about your resources take over your day or detract from the enjoyment of other life departments. Also, watch for a tendency to second-guess others. Putting someone on the defensive won’t get you the answers you want.Capricorn
Hands-on or involving activities are more attractive under current transits, dear Capricorn. It’s an excellent time to nurture, develop, or grow a personal plan, but you’re also in good shape for supporting others and mutually beneficial activities. As the day advances, vague worries, guilt, and concerns can interfere with your productivity. The Sun, on the last day of its transit of your work and health sector, heads toward an awkward angle to Pluto in your sign. Alternatives might emerge that lead you to question your current plans, goals, or methods. Doubts can weigh on you more than usual with this transit, but it’s temporary. Consider that the solution can leave you in a better place than before, making a misstep very much worth it. You might aim to get in touch with your priorities. Even with some stalling, you’re in good shape for solving practical problems.Aquarius
Working behind the scenes and nurturing a special project can be rewarding and successful today, dear Aquarius. The desire to make improvements and positive changes is building, and warmth in your personal world helps you feel more centered and focused. As the day advances, the Sun approaches a minor challenging aspect with Pluto, producing some tension if you resist change. Managing feelings of being overwhelmed can involve focusing on smaller problems and then working your way up. Examine your fears, but don’t dwell on them for best results today, since brooding or dwelling on unresolved matters from your past can interfere with your enjoyment of the present. Do your best to let go of suspicion and negative thinking. Going over the same issues repeatedly won’t necessarily solve the problems unless you aim to approach them differently, and it’s time to make adjustments. Luckily, you’re in great shape for pouring extra energy into special projects and plans.Pisces
Bonding moments can happen in friendships or partnerships today, dear Pisces. There can be an opportunity to work on letting go of resentment, or you might gain an understanding of a situation, perhaps with someone’s help. Your communications are charming, and others are especially interested in your words. As the day advances, the Sun approaches a minor challenging aspect with Pluto, and circumstances are such that adjustments and refinements to your plans can be necessary. Fears of missing out in your social life or stress can keep you feeling a little wired or on edge later today. It may be that you’re dealing with excessive attachment to or control of a relationship or project. It’s a time to lay something to rest or alter a goal or approach. Despite some tense undercurrents, however, there is a lot of positive to focus on, especially related to home, family, and domestic matters.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
