Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With Mercury in your sign these days, dear Aries, you have a stronger voice. You’re also more curious, talkative, and on the move during this cycle that lasts longer than usual – until May 15th. You can have a mental reawakening in some ways, wanting to start fresh and thinking innovatively. You are inclined to make executive decisions, and work or projects might fall into your lap. While you’re more observant and willing to discuss your plans, you can sometimes be nervous during this cycle, and with a minor Mercury-Mars challenge today, you should watch for impatience. It’s best to keep in mind that there can be a mismatch between what you think and what you do, which can give off all the wrong signals. To avoid getting yourself into a tricky situation, make sure you know what you want to convey before communicating too quickly.Taurus
Mercury’s current transit of your soul sector stirs a more substantial need for privacy or solitude for thinking, making decisions, or working, dear Taurus. The best ideas tend to come from periods of being alone and in better touch with your inner world during this cycle that lasts until May 15th. You rely on your intuition more heavily, and you pay attention to different cues than the usual ones to arrive at decisions and conclusions. There has been and will continue to be a stronger focus on background matters in your life. While this cycle is a somewhat reclusive or undercover one, the Moon spends much of the day in your sign, ramping up your visibility, in general. Today’s energies can be motivating or just a little irritating, producing some crankiness in spots. A Mercury-Mars minor challenge suggests the possibility of too-direct conversations. There can be impatience or eagerness that can lead to uncomfortable situations. Your focus will return eventually, and trying to push too hard could leave you behind even further, making it best to muster up patience.Gemini
With Mercury in your friendship sector these days, dear Gemini, you’re in a particularly interesting and active period socially. Your ideas stand out as especially innovative, unusual, and progressive during this transit that lasts until May 15th. You may have more contact with friends or associates or get some great ideas from conversations with others and through networking activities. It’s also an excellent time to share your ideas. You’re bound to give more thought to your social or happiness goals, and you could also be more assertive and forthright. Today’s Mercury-Mars transit suggests possible impatience with words or moves, however. Eagerness can border on impatience. Be especially mindful of how you express yourself, particularly with friends or with an audience, as you may come across quite curtly without meaning to. It’s a good idea to check that you’re clear on what you want to convey.Cancer
With Mercury currently transiting your career sector, dear Cancer, your thoughts frequently turn to professional matters, plans, and goals these days. You are often more careful and perhaps guarded in your communications as you feel more accountable for what you say and how you say it. Your mind is on your prospects during this cycle that lasts longer than usual: until May 15th. You might speak formally or lead with your ideas, and others notice you for your smarts. Today, watch for impatience in your communications. You could be anxious to get started on something. Your interactions can be a little tricky as there is a tendency to shoot from the hip with observations and criticisms. For best results, aim to think before communicating and consider that your actions and thoughts may not be in sync with a Mercury-Mars aspect in play. Look for an anchor, whether it’s a person, place, focal point, or a favorite activity.Leo
With Mercury moving harmony with your sign these days, dear Leo, you’re in great shape for educational or philosophical pursuits. This transit pleasantly challenges you to think more deeply about big life questions and refine your perspective and viewpoints. It may not be as strong of a period for more detail-oriented subjects–you’re more interested in the bigger idea or concept now. You’re also more eager or braver when expressing your opinions and sharing your views. Your mind is active, your outlook is positive, and your interest in the world around you increases. The inclination to debate and defend your ideas as Mercury transits your sector of beliefs and opinions until May 15th is mighty! Today, your enthusiasm runs high, but it’s best not to push things too fast. There can be some trickiness with communications . While enthusiastic about a project or personal interest, circumstances may take you on different paths. It may be that you can’t focus or get completely comfortable, which disrupts your flow, and it’s time to rethink your situation.Virgo
With Mercury currently in your solar eighth house, dear Virgo, you’re especially able to talk about intimate, private, or complicated subject matter with objectivity. This influence boosts your perceptive abilities. While topics are often intense and heavy in the weeks ahead, you often remain detached enough on a mental level to tackle tricky issues. Secret or hidden information can surface during this cycle that is ongoing until May 15th, and interactions may be more complex or complicated. It’s a time of more profound thought, discussions, contemplation, and an increased inclination to strategize, plan, and observe. Today, however, Mercury forms a minor challenging aspect with Mars, and it’s best not to push matters that need to evolve in their own due time. While you can be anxious to put an idea into motion or take action, it may be a little premature. For best results, avoid pressuring or distracting yourself.Libra
With Mercury currently transiting your partnership sector, dear Libra, your desire to share ideas and make decisions with someone special is strong. This cycle lasts longer than usual–until May 15th–and can revitalize your relationships through increased communication or through giving considerably more thought to your connections. Intellectual companionship is in the spotlight. You seek out others, and they seek you. Today’s energies are a little tense and impatient in spots, however, and it makes sense not to rush decision-making. While pushing the boundaries just a bit could lead to interesting ideas and discoveries, it’s best not to take too many risks. Consider that patience may be missing if your attention is divided. It can be challenging to settle your mind in spots, making it best to save important conversations for a clearer time.Scorpio
With Mercury currently transiting your sector of work and health, dear Scorpio, you’re often focusing on getting down to business. It can be a busy period when you pay more attention to your work and health goals, daily routines, and habits. Great ideas and developments along these lines can be in the offing. Work or chores can involve more communication or attention to detail during this cycle that lasts until May 15th. Menial tasks can also be more prominent in your life now. While you can be eager to get things done today, particularly related to your work or health regimes, your mind is easily distracted. Even if it’s not the most productive days on a mundane level, you may need to relax your mind to ultimately strengthen your focus and acuity.Sagittarius
The current Mercury transit is helpful for smoothing out your conversations and boosting your ability to get your messages across as you intend them, dear Sagittarius. You express yourself more confidently or naturally while Mercury is in your sector of creative fulfillment until May 15th. Thoughts often turn to leisure, entertainment, romance, or finding your joy during this cycle, and you have extra fun with your communications. You’re also more inclined to express or verbalize your affections. It’s a period of attracting love interests through your wit or intelligence or opening the lines of communication with people you love. Still, there can be some nervous energy to contend with today as a Mercury-Mars connection draws attention to the differences between what you want and what you think. Aim to direct excess energy into a satisfying project, perhaps by attempts to tame your wandering mind. Be aware of a tendency to speak too soon or too quickly.Capricorn
With Mercury currently transiting your home and family sector these days, dear Capricorn, your thoughts and conversations often turn to personal matters. There can more activity on the home front or with family, including many conversations and interactions. You also have a lot to learn at home and through contact with family and those closest to you. You can be preoccupied with domestic matters during this cycle that lasts until May 15th. Today’s Mercury-Mars transit may keep you mentally wired at times, however. There can be some tension in spots due to your thinking not always lining up with your desires. Something can touch a nerve. Ultimately, it can lead to growth, so aim to find the lesson in whatever goes down now. Avoid rushing through something that would do best with a slower, more measured approach.Aquarius
With Mercury in your communications sector these days, dear Aquarius, you’re well-positioned for picking up new information. You enjoy a stronger desire to reach out and share your “story” or connect with others. There can be a lot to do and much to think and talk about during this busy cycle that lasts until May 15th. However, you could have a short attention span for the time being! It’s a time for picking up all kinds of information–processing may come later! This is a satisfying placement for Mercury, even if it sometimes stimulates some restlessness, as Mercury feels right at home here. This position gives you an added boost or ease with communications, and learning flows well. Even so, with today’s Mercury-Mars minor challenge, watch for impatient purchases, moves, and communications. It can be all too easy to hurt someone’s feelings. For example, you might intellectualize something that another person takes to heart. You can be excited about new ideas, but the tricky part is following through.Pisces
Mercury is currently transiting your money and values sector, dear Pisces, and it’s an excellent cycle for analyzing your finances and possessions, including spending and saving habits. You might sometimes fret over money or practical matters, but it’s also a good period for getting advice or sorting out and thinking over your finances. You’re more inclined to think and talk about what you value, material matters aside. You benefit from thinking practically and sensibly and more attentiveness to your resources. Still, with a minor Mercury-Mars clash and a Moon-Mars square today, you can feel a great urge to get things done, but you might think you’re required to move far more quickly than is truly needed. Aim to channel excess energies into a business project or some other practical endeavor that will truly make life easier, but watch for impatience and impulsiveness. Because of pressures and your mindset, you may be a little stern in your communications.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
