Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon’s move into your sector of spirit and the higher mind for a stay of over two days can be welcome, dear Aries. It helps you lift yourself above the more minor problems. Even so, with today’s somewhat contrary influences, you could be dealing with a feeling of being slighted or overlooked. Know that this may not be the best day for pushing ahead with plans, largely because distractions can temporarily disconnect you from your true feelings. Suspicions can arise, but avoid jumping to conclusions. While Mercury is encouraging you to process recent events and pay particular attention to mental health and needs for healthy escapes from the routine these days, Pluto is connecting to Mercury in a minor but challenging aspect, suggesting some difficulty separating your desire to communicate with others from your downtime.Taurus
Today’s energies aren’t especially free-flowing, dear Taurus, nor conducive to pushing ahead with personal plans. Take your time with new initiatives and avoid depending on someone to help you out, just for the time being. There is some tendency to obsess about the possibility of negative things that may never actually materialize. Discouragement, if you feel it now, is temporary. You may need to second-guess yourself before putting your faith into something or someone later. Still, watch for reading something more into a matter. As the day advances and we approach a Venus-Uranus square, changing feelings or an upheaval with plans can throw you for a loop. Ideally, if things are shaking up a little, a detour could redirect you along an interesting path. Aim to tune into your need for change while being careful not to jump into something before you’re ready or prepared. The same old routine can be unsatisfying, and your desire for a change of pace is intense.Gemini
There can be times today when you feel uncertainty about a relationship or plans that are up in the air, dear Gemini, with transits that can leave you second-guessing your instincts. While your thinking tends to be practical and goal-oriented these days, it’s not especially easy to concentrate or focus right now. Sharing an activity could be meaningful, but be ready for touchy conversations or slight misunderstandings. Opt to allow these blips to help you better understand yourself, important people in your life, and your goals. As the day advances, we approach a Venus-Uranus square, and part of you might crave comfort and closeness while another part of you needs some space. An unexpected situation or realization may destabilize your feelings, and you need a bit of time to process it. For best results, and before going out on a limb pursuing your desires, aim to connect with what you truly want! Today’s frustrations can merely point to an unacknowledged need for a change of pace, and the sooner you take this into your own hands, the better.Cancer
You’re in an especially favorable period for new experiences, learning, and general outlook, dear Cancer. But with today’s transits, there can be some small obstacles or a mood dip to manage. You may want to watch for communicating in ways that sound sarcastic or cynical against your intentions. It’s also best not to waste too much time on regret. Take what you need to learn from an experience and avoid dwelling. While your interactions can sometimes feel loaded today, it’s possible that some doubt is a good thing for you now as you test the strength of a venture or idea. As the day advances, you can feel restless or rebellious. Your feelings or others’ affections for you can be intense one minute, and then they cool down the next, but at the end of it, you may very well learn something new about yourself or a relationship. You may only need a breather or the benefits of a change of pace, and it’s a good time for getting the courage to do something new.Leo
The Moon heads into harmony with your sign, dear Leo, awakening the playful side of you. Still, with transits today, there can be a tendency to focus on what’s not working rather than what is–which is fine up to a certain point but becomes counter-productive if taken too far. If you encounter this energy from others, try to steer conversations to the positive. It’s not about avoiding problems but rather about reminding yourself or others of the positive side of a situation, which can be harder to see now than on other days. Ideally, small frustrations can lead to creative workarounds and wonderful new insights. Also consider that approaching others with suspicion or doubt might only serve to put them on the defensive, and healthy conversations become harder to come by.Virgo
With a Mercury-Pluto minor challenging aspect active today, you’re in a stronger position to think more deeply and to consider all angles, dear Virgo. However, avoid taking this tendency to greater lengths than is necessary or healthy. You can too easily trip over yourself as you doubt or second-guess people or projects in your life. Try to relax and don’t push things that are better left to run their natural course. Sometimes, leaving a problem alone or taking a step back can help. This is a generally good period for strengthening or attracting relationships, and perhaps some backstepping or second-guessing today can ultimately increase your conviction or faith in something or someone. Today, avoid overthinking a matter. As we approach a Venus-Uranus transit later today, circumstances remind you that you need to change things occasionally to challenge yourself and excel. While this influence can be a bit disruptive, as long as you respect the free spirit within, it can be a learning experience! You’re in good shape for identifying areas that require a fix.Libra
Transits today can make it temporarily hard to see your true feelings, dear Libra, making it best to defer judgment. With a Mercury-Pluto influence, the desire to have your way or to push an idea onto someone can sometimes dominate, or someone is feeling this way toward you. If thoughts begin to circle and become obsessive, try to pull yourself out of it. Try to avoid unhealthy levels of suspicion, which can wear you down. Life is far more pleasurable when we don’t feel the need to micro-manage it! You’re in a mostly excellent period for work and health endeavors, and while you may feel a little up and down about your pursuits today, you’re ultimately working toward a stronger conviction about what you’re doing or where you’re heading. With a Venus-Uranus square pending, you may feel a little on edge, but it’s best to avoid abruptness. Giving everyone a bit of space and recognizing your need for a break or a change of pace can be the remedy.Scorpio
Your desire for steadiness is strong and growing today, dear Scorpio, with the Moon’s move into your resources sector. There is some tendency to dwell on the past or to express yourself defensively that might need watching, however, with Mercury and your ruler, Pluto, forming a minor challenging aspect. Taking the high road and lifting oneself above needless arguments and defensive stances are preferable but also somewhat difficult today! With this transit, harping on issues is a real tendency, but it doesn’t do you much good. Avoid stressing over the little things. In fact, something positive can emerge from frustrations. For example, clearing the air may be refreshing, or after second-guessing something, you ultimately recognize its value and feel stronger in your convictions.Sagittarius
Someone’s cynicism or doubt could bring you down a rung in spots today, dear Sagittarius. You might also watch for a tendency to question or read too much into situations, as a Mercury-Pluto can skew our thinking in such a way that we worry about not having control over a situation or we second-guess others’ motives. However, the Moon moves into your sign, and you might turn some positive attention to your personal goals with much success. As the day advances, we approach a Venus-Uranus square, and you can feel a tendency to rebel against routine. Any attempts to lock someone down to a commitment can backfire with this transitory influence. People need space, and giving and taking space seems to be the solution to many problems now.Capricorn
Tensions can arise in spots today, dear Capricorn, as others don’t seem as cooperative or open to your ideas temporarily. You can find it challenging to stay present in your tasks and discussions. You might second-guess a recent endeavor, idea, or belief. We are moving toward a Venus-Uranus square, and you can feel some restlessness as the day advances, even rebelling against the rules you created! Whims can take hold, making it tempting to take a risk with your money or your heart. Or, a clash of values with someone can frustrate. Instead of following sudden desires, try to pinpoint and understand the reason behind your restlessness and tension. It’s important not to respond to all urges, particularly if they involve impulsive spending or pushing a situation that needs more time to develop and unfold. You might recognize that a new approach to your life, and particularly your money or belongings, may be worth your while.Aquarius
Today’s Mercury-Pluto aspect can stir up nervous mental energy if left unchecked, dear Aquarius. Watch for getting involved in arguments that are truly not worth your time. You could feel compelled to test the strength of a venture or relationship. Aim to avoid unnecessary questioning. That said, it’s probably best to avoid lending out money or personal possessions if you want to see them returned! Helpfulness can feel wonderful, but as soon as you get the feeling that you might be taken advantage of, draw your boundaries or simply bow out. As the day advances, part of you could be rebelling against the rules, even if you were the one to lay them down. Restless feelings can take over in spots, and it may be best to honor your need for extra excitement by doing something different or shaking up the routine a little. Experimenting with possibilities and approaches in little ways is likely preferable to making sweeping moves as Venus heads toward a square to Uranus. Desires can sometimes lead us on a path quite counter to our true needs, which may be the case now. Ideally, through a bit of discontent, you might learn a little more about yourself.Pisces
Some possible hurdles can emerge today that seem to slow you down, dear Pisces, but instead can be catalysts for greater understanding and feelings of liberation. You might second-guess your perception of a long-standing problem or past event. Do watch for something said that might be misconstrued, as there is a tendency for words to sting today, even with good intentions. Strive to be as honest and forthright in your dealings as possible, and if you currently aren’t connecting with your own truth, take your time sharing how you feel with others. As the day advances, we approach a Venus-Uranus square, and it can tempt you to jump into or out of a situation quite impulsively, which could be premature. Detours can lead you to a more comfortable understanding of how you honestly feel about a matter. However, it’s best to avoid making abrupt, sweeping, or confusing moves, as your feelings are in flux. Honor the need for change by doing so in steps. Watch for blurting out something that doesn’t represent your true feelings.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
