Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With today’s impulsive, rash Mars-Uranus square, avoid reacting too quickly or loudly if you’re frustrated, dear Aries. Money matters or uncertainties can certainly complicate relationship dynamics, however. You’re not in any mood to feel tied down, even though you recognize the need to follow a few rules! It’s important to be mindful if you want to free yourself of something that has held you back, however, as there is a real tendency to be hasty today. A healthy outlet can be to focus on areas of your life that you may have been avoiding 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! Take this opportunity to see your practical affairs from a new perspective, as it may lead you to new possibilities. You may be taking action on a matter that feels long overdue today. Today’s transits are especially good for looking at your life in new ways, especially private, personal, self-worth, and financial matters. Outside-of-the-box thinking brings rewards.Taurus
While today’s transits help you see areas of your life due for a change, dear Taurus, a Mars-Uranus square involving your sign today can point to some tension. If you feel restricted by something or someone, you could feel ready to bail! The instinct may be to rock the boat, but consider that you’ll be far more effective if you take the time for some self-knowledge. After all, 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’re likely to need a break that refreshes now. If schedules are interrupted, this may turn into a positive–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’s better to avoid making a splash as you do. Focus on goals that make you feel happy and accomplished rather than focusing on what others think is right for you. Fortunately, you’re in great form for hopes and dreams. New ideas and potential ventures inspire you. You might also break through a barrier or problem, which is a pleasant relief.Gemini
While today can give you a better view of what needs an update, dear Gemini, rushing through decisions is not advisable. You’re pushing beyond your normal boundaries these days, which adds a nice splash of excitement to your life. However, there can be part of you resisting change, and this can emerge in small but disruptive ways. You may be battling some restlessness or discomfort with a problem that’s now reemerging. For the best results, avoid impulsive actions and decisions right now. You may very well feel that you’re limited or restricted by others or perhaps by life’s circumstances, but instead of rebelling or denying your need for change, think about healthy ways to explore and assert your freedom. Feeling moody or uninspired may be holding you back from entirely breaking out of your shell and pursuing or meeting your goals. However, with some adjustments, you can find yourself in fine form for letting go of those things that have only served to weigh you down. Following too closely to protocol and rules may spell missed opportunities. Still, you shouldn’t have to force anything either, and today’s Sun-Uranus transit encourages interacting with your world a little differently.Cancer
Today’s Mars-Uranus square is tense and impatient, dear Cancer, but if you pull back from it, you’ll see that it’s prompting you to explore the need to make changes. In fact, a Sun-Uranus transit helps you make the best of it. However, watch for impulsivity and willfulness. A strong desire for change in your life can be looming, but focusing in on exactly what and how you want to change is the part that is most challenging! You may feel some confusion on whether you wish for distance or want to jump in with both feet when it comes to your relationships. Although you have been feeling a need for more intensity lately, the parts of you that desire a healthy bit of distance can emerge now, which may lead to misunderstandings with others if you are not fully aware of why you are feeling this way. Look for ways to nurture the feelings of independence you are feeling, while also keeping yourself open to exploring your emotions. This is a week of feeling more empowered to make long-overdue changes, although you may need to do some battle with your feelings first. Today’s Sun-Uranus aspect helps get you more “in tune” with your need for new ideas and experiences. Friends and acquaintances or new plans and dreams can be part of this.Leo
You may experience people disagreeing with the way you approach your work or your goals today, dear Leo, as Mars forms a square to Uranus. Feelings of being ignored or not taken seriously may come to a head. Tensions and frustrations may arise in your career, but it’s best to avoid making decisions hastily. You may discover later that you were not quite ready to jump into (or out of) something. Although you may feel like you don’t know how to get closer to or better understand some people in your life, conflict can lead to new ways of understanding and working with them that can leave the relationship in a better place in the end. 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. With today’s Sun-Uranus transit, given the time and space for experimentation, you can come to some exciting new insights. You’re inclined to come up with good ideas when you’re not following all the rules or coloring inside the lines today.Virgo
With today’s rather impulsive Mars-Uranus aspect, dear Virgo, it may be best to take your time before making any important decisions. Health and work-related tensions may reach a boiling point today after having expended much energy on these matters recently. Take today to give yourself a break from these goals so that you can act more spontaneously or explore your feelings more fully. Disruptions in your schedule may allow for just that, in fact! However, if you really want to get things done, when deciding on areas that need to change, avoid acting on a whim. Instead, release frustrations by pouring your energy into improvements. If there are tensions surrounding working under a schedule or in a limiting, oppressive environment, then you can feel this acutely now. If your methods have been too rigid, you’ll begin to see the value of making creative changes today. However, for best results, once you see what needs to change, avoid an abrupt or all-or-nothing approach to making them. Helping you with this is a Sun-Uranus sextile–it draws you to mind-opening experiences. You might arrive at exciting revelations.Libra
While today’s Mars-Uranus aspect can incline us to jump too quickly to conclusions, dear Libra, a Sun-Uranus transit also in play points to opportunities to learn much. You can be filled up with exciting ideas. The day seems to push change and your life forward. Areas of your life that have caged you in, even if it has happened willingly, can now feel overwhelming. Making plans to improve areas of your life makes more sense and is far more helpful than resisting change or bringing on change through impulsive actions, so be sure to reflect and make deliberate decisions now. As excited as 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! Avoid pushing too hard or making rash decisions, but allow yourself to cross normal thresholds, as you can make great strides towards critical new beginnings.Scorpio
You possess more courage than usual to break down walls between yourself and others, dear Scorpio. Today is particularly strong for enjoying the freedoms that acceptance and support afford you. You’re adding some extra spice to your home life and your work or routines. You can be adventurous on the domestic scene right now. Still, today’s Mars-Uranus transit is somewhat rebellious. If something about your interactions feels stale, confining, or otherwise stunting your emotional growth, creative ways of relating are in order now. There can be a whole lot of concentrated energy, and a clash of values with someone may be part of the picture. An unexpected circumstance or sudden change of attitude can occur and jolt you out of your usual routine. Stronger desires and needs can become intense and in focus now, and it’s important to open yourself up to the need for change but not to rush into anything just yet.Sagittarius
Today’s Mars-Uranus aspect is impulsive energy, dear Sagittarius, but finding ways of making the best or the most of a situation can make it quite manageable. Personal projects and interests can be compelling, but avoid letting your excitement for them lead to ignoring your other needs. Circumstances now may help you along if you have been too preoccupied, as change is in the air. You may be feeling especially enterprising but there is also a 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, you’ll recognize the need for more attention to your daily affairs now. Identify which parts of your life require more flexibility, and carefully consider what needs to be done to achieve this, even if you feel pressure to find a quick solution. Don’t let impatience prevail, but aim to recognize the need for constructive change. Having a little fun with life may very well lead to the most innovative and useful approaches.Capricorn
A Mars-Uranus aspect tends to bring some unpredictability or rebellion to the day’s themes, dear Capricorn, but you’re likely to learn something important from your realizations and even conflicts. Solutions come more readily than usual. Still, you could feel the more erratic or disordered parts in your life more strongly, which can lead 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 resisting change, Uranus won’t mind pushing you out of your comfort zone! It’s better to anticipate what needs to change and being proactive about it. Tension can arise in areas of your life that preoccupied your mind, leading to feelings of restlessness. Alternatively, you may experience a clash with someone over issues of values or respect. 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–steps forward rather than huge leaps are probably best. This is a time for approaching your family life, money, and domestic affairs in refreshing new ways and making small improvements that lead to a greater sense of being on top of things.Aquarius
Distractions and disruptions can occur in spots today as Mars clashes with Uranus, dear Aquarius. Mars is currently transiting your sign, and Uranus is your planetary ruler, so this feels personal! Issues may come to a head for you or for people around you, especially regarding matters that have remained stagnant and resistant to change. Keep an open mind when it comes to change, but don’t go all in by making rebellious and impatient decisions. Taking a small break from those areas of life where you’ve been overly preoccupied can help restore a sense of order in your life. 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! Rather than rushing into situations, aim to express your needs in healthy, constructive ways and take the time to understand yourself for the best results. It’s a powerful time to discover new ways of expressing and enjoying yourself.Pisces
Today’s Mars-Uranus square tends to shake up areas of stagnation, dear Pisces, but a Sun-Uranus transit helps you gain perspective and learn from these epiphanies or conflicts, which can lead to inspired ideas. Still, areas of discontent in your life may be harder to fully identify now, leading to a generalized feeling of frustration that may arise randomly. Your need for alone time is strong, but you also want to keep up your communications and connections with others. Your preoccupation with your personal life and projects has certainly been a priority these days, and in the process, there are times when outside distractions can seem intolerable. This is particularly the case today. Be wary of putting too much energy into one specific task or project, as it can backfire and disrupt other areas of your life. Try to seek out a healthier balance. Thankfully, you are exceptionally creative today, and you are more easily able to come up with interesting and successful solutions to inner conflicts.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
