Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You are in no mood to feel tied down today, dear Aries. Today’s Mars-Uranus square can be impulsive or rash, but it can also alert you to areas of stagnation that you may want to fix. Try not to react too quickly or loudly if you’re frustrated. Money matters or uncertainties can certainly complicate relationship dynamics. If you’re freeing yourself of something that has held you back, it’s best to be mindful and avoid abruptness. You might decide to focus on areas of your life that you may have avoided and sideline the things you’ve been overdoing. This will lead to a much more balanced feeling. There has been a more intense focus on your social life and happiness goals or long-term plans and dreams, which has bumped some of your practical goals down to second place. The results of this may make themselves known today, but don’t let the disruption get you down. Instead, take this opportunity to see your practical affairs from a new perspective, as it may lead to new possibilities. You may be taking action on a matter that feels long overdue today.Taurus
Today’s Mars-Uranus square can point to some tension, dear Taurus. If you feel restricted by something or someone, you’ll want to break free. The instinct may be to rock the boat but keep in mind that you’ll be far more effective if you take the time for some self-knowledge. Knowing what you genuinely want makes any rebellion or reaction more effective. While you’ve been excited about pursuing your goals with Mars at the top of your solar chart, if you’ve been overdoing this or pressuring yourself to succeed, you’ll need a break that refreshes now. If schedules are interrupted, this may turn into a positive since it’s possible the changes you make can bring you to a better place. Doing your own thing can be good for you, but it may be better to avoid making a splash as you do. Certainly, you are experiencing a rebellious or inspired, independent streak that seems to want expression now.Gemini
Rushing through decisions is not advised today, dear Gemini, with Mars square Uranus. You can feel a desire to break out of your usual boundaries, but a small part of you may not be willing to change. Feeling moody or uninspired can keep you from entirely breaking out of your shell and pursuing or meeting your goals. Try not to act out or make decisions impulsively, as what may seem important today may be completely different with some distance and perspective later. Putting something behind you can be good for you, but it’s best not to be too hasty. Instead of rebelling or outright denying your need for change, think about healthy ways to explore and assert your freedom.Cancer
With Mars and Uranus in conflict today, dear Cancer, impulsivity or willfulness can be themes. A strong desire for change in your life looms, but focusing on precisely what and how you want to change is the most challenging part! You may feel confused about whether you wish for distance or want to jump in with both feet with your activities or relationships. Although you’ve gravitated to more intensity lately, the parts of you that desire a healthy bit of distance can emerge now, possibly leading to misunderstandings with others if you are not fully aware of why you are feeling this way. Look for ways to nurture feelings of independence while also keeping yourself open to exploring your emotions. You could want to make long-overdue changes, but you may need to do some battle with your feelings first. This Mars-Uranus square is tense and impatient, but if you pull back from it, you’ll see that it’s prompting you to explore the need to make changes. It’s important to feed yourself with spiritual or emotional nourishment now, and that can take the form of hope, humor, and warmth.Leo
People you’re dealing with can be hard to get close to, understand, or digest today, dear Leo. Even so, through conflict or chaos, you may be able to find a way to put limitations behind you for a door to open for positive change. Feelings of being ignored or not taken seriously may come to a head, or you could experience someone who disagrees with the way you approach your work or your goals. Tensions and frustrations may arise in your career, but it’s best to avoid making decisions emotionally. You may discover later that you were not quite ready to jump into (or out of) something. It may be best to work on strengthening bonds. Being as realistic as possible about what an important person in your life is capable of can help you trust them more. The key now is to get in touch with what needs changing and improving so that you can take action that adds value to your life.Virgo
You could feel that too many little things are going wrong or on your mind, dear Virgo, making it a good idea to seek activities that ground and center you. Although these problems may seem random, they could result from a situation that wasn’t wholly dealt with in the past. Health and work-related tensions may reach a boiling point today after spending a lot of energy on these matters in recent times. Disruptions in your schedule may allow you to explore your feelings or new methods. It’s best to avoid acting on a whim until you know what you want. Instead, aim to release frustrations by pouring your energy into improvements.Libra
Today’s Mars-Uranus square might push matters that need a change, dear Libra, whether you’re ready or not! As excited you may be about a creative project or exploring a romance or personal interest these days, you need a break from pushing too hard, and circumstances occurring now may force the issue. It may be that you’ve limited yourself by focusing too intensely on one project or train of thought. If you’ve been caged in, even if it’s of your own making, you’ll feel it strongly now, and change becomes necessary. Rebellious actions can lead to complications if you don’t know your heart, so take steps to make gradual improvements rather than react too quickly. While this Mars-Uranus transit can incline you to jump too quickly to conclusions, Mercury is heading into alignment with Mercury, and you can fill up with creative ideas.Scorpio
With today’s Mars-Uranus square, dear Scorpio, there can be some surprises or tension in store, particularly in close relationships or your domestic world. It’s best to keep yourself flexible to move through any surprises gracefully. A show of independence from someone around you might leave you to handle issues or tasks on your own. Or, there can be a pressing need to release yourself from something or someone you have been focusing too much energy on. Take this opportunity to plan for improvements in other areas of your life, rather than focusing obsessively on one aspect, and it can be a fruitful time. You could find ways to release yourself from a restrictive situation that feels a long time coming, but it’s best to do so mindfully.Sagittarius
While a Mars-Uranus aspect colors the day with rather impulsive energy, dear Sagittarius, you’ll begin to see creative ways to improve your life as the day advances. You’re likely to envision ways of making the best or the most of a situation. Until then, you might want to resist the tendency to push something forward rashly, which can set you back. If current activities are interfering with your happiness and the order or structure in your life, take the time to try to restore that order today. Identify which parts of your life require more flexibility, and carefully consider what needs doing to achieve this even if you feel pressure to find a quick solution. Don’t let impatience prevail, but do recognize the need for constructive change.Capricorn
Today’s Mars-Uranus aspect colors the day with some unpredictability or rebellion, dear Capricorn. However, some helpful transits ensure that you’re learning something important from your realizations. Communicating and learning can be powerful ways to relax and unwind later today. In the meantime, you could feel the more erratic or disordered parts in your life more strongly, leading to tension and perhaps unexpected disruptions. Watch for stubbornness regarding sticking to what you know and doing things on your own. If you’ve been resistant to change, Uranus won’t mind pushing you out of your comfort zone today. It’s better to anticipate what needs to change and be proactive about it. Frustrations can come from an inner clash between wanting to take a risk and preferring to stay in your comfort zone. Take both sides into consideration as you move forward. For best results, take steps forward rather than huge leaps.Aquarius
Distractions and disruptions are possible today with a clash between Mars and Uranus, dear Aquarius. Mars is currently transiting your sign, and Uranus is your ruler, and issues may come to a head for you regarding matters that have been stagnant and resistant to change. When it comes to change, keep an open mind, but don’t go all-in by making rebellious and impatient decisions. Take time to release some of the tension that has been building up from feeling restricted or overruled recently, but try to do so constructively. Ideally, this transit helps bring down normal barriers, and new insights or inner stirrings can be revealing. Try to direct excess energy into creative or otherwise positive channels, as today, it can be all too easy to act rashly or impulsively.Pisces
Today’s Mars-Uranus aspect tends to bring recent frustrations with restrictions to a head, dear Pisces, perhaps with a little too much intensity. Although you may be feeling unsettled, it’s better to avoid pushing things today. A need for change is strong, but a generalized feeling of frustration instead of a pinpoint focus can lead to some tension or indecision. These days, you may be feeling more independent and perhaps introverted while also keeping an interest in being open to connections with others and communication. Be wary of putting too much of your energy into one specific task or project, as it can backfire by disrupting many other areas of your life. Try to seek a healthier balance by not over-focusing on one or two aspects of your life while ignoring other areas. Thankfully, you are exceptionally creative today, and you are more easily able to come up with interesting and successful solutions to inner conflicts as the day advances. With Mercury heading into alignment with Neptune in your sign, you can gain perspective and learn from these conflicts, leading to inspired ideas.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
