Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Diversity and variety can be very useful for you today. Moon transits, dear Aries. It’s a good time to branch out, connect, and learn about what’s happening around you. You’re not interested in lifeless routines at the moment. You might gain new information at just the right time today, and what you know can help your own life and others’ lives as well, so be sure to share. There is an eagerness to explore new options today. Still, especially as the day advances, it’s a little too easy to get worked up or stressed over issues that may not be very important in the long run. At the same time, you might miss getting in touch with the true reason for your discontent. You may want to watch for a brusque or impatient manner with others. Try to settle your mind, as it could be racing with plans and ideas. You could feel like an overloaded circuit board, but before you burn out, take a step back, take stock of your situation, and slow down a little. Watch for hasty communications.Taurus
Slowing down works well for you today, dear Taurus, and if it only serves to bore you, then you’re not listening to your instincts! Today’s Moon transits are about appreciating what you already have and those basic, simple things that pad and enhance your life but often go unacknowledged. It would be wise to take a break from too much thinking and worrying about what others are thinking about or expecting from you. Recent plans seem doable again. Still, at times today, tensions about money or friendship can surface. You could feel driven to pursue a goal or dream, although you could miscalculate some details. Avoid bringing others on board just for now, as it may only frustrate you if they’re in their own dream worlds. Focus on those things that make you happy.Gemini
Your creative and enterprising impulses are in the foreground today, dear Gemini. While you’re in touch with your feelings, you’re also given to mood fluctuations. You have an insistent need for comfort and pleasure and an almost urgent desire to satisfy your emotional needs and wants. You can become rather quickly agitated by circumstances or people if they are restricting you from growing and changing. You might also be impatient with routines and methods that you’ve been using for so long that you’ve become bored. You might use this energy positively and mindfully by choosing to adopt a different approach to what you’re doing. In fact, it can be an important time for some form of healthy escape.Cancer
Today’s Moon wants you to decrease stimulation, dear Cancer, but a Mars-Uranus transit has other plans! Certainly, you need some emotional refreshment. Escaping from the hustle and bustle would be ideal today. There is a strong tendency for you to seek out refuge, and you tend to comb over the past for answers. Extra rest today will help when the Moon enters your sign late today when emotional matters become clearer and you’re ready to share your feelings and needs with others. Still, there can be some impatience, and you might feel caught up in between, but you could take on the role of mediator quite successfully. You are likely to find new ways of thinking about old problems, or new methods altogether, that allow you to keep the best of the old but also enable opening yourself up to the new. It’s important to go gently and employ strategy rather than push or prod, as egos can be a little fragile and tempers short. Others will soon see your vision soon enough, once they pull themselves out of their problems.Leo
You might find inspiration for a new project today, dear Leo. Inspired can turn to tired later today, however, as a bit of doubt or confusion tends to set in. This might only serve to slow you down a little, which you might just need! A little emotional detachment can help give you more freedom to be yourself and not worry too much about what other people think or expect of you. Unpredictability seems to be the order of the day. If you raise yourself above an ego level, conversations can lead to breakthroughs in thinking or stimulate a whole new line of thought (perhaps an opposing one) that inspires you. Even so, you can be hard to keep up with at times right now. Slow down if others don’t keep pace with your ideas. Aim to go with the flow and enjoy a timeout later today.Virgo
Your mind is especially fertile right now, dear Virgo, as you are able to blend practicality with imagination toward fulfilling your more worldly goals. Professional doors may open through communications and social connections. However, try not to rely heavily on others today, as things may not go as planned in your personal life. Some dispassion might be in order right now, just enough to step aside from a situation to gain perspective. Later today, there can be a real desire to focus, but part of you is also looking for an escape. There could be a false lead in your work or research. Take a deep breath, recognize that you may only need to unwind, and let your imagination go before returning to goal-chasing.Libra
You have outgoing and adventurous energy with you on an emotional level today, dear Libra. You want to experience life without worrying about the particulars. It’s a time for mixing things up, not following a strict schedule. You want to escape the usual routine, and you’re avoiding trying to figure out what your next move “should” be. But because the day’s energies are a little noisy at times, your increased sensitivity could lead you to become frustrated too easily, whether with people or circumstances. Do your best to tune the noise out and let the ideas flow. Outworn methods, routines, and patterns of relating are being challenged right now, and if you can raise yourself above the petty conflicts that result, you may see where improvements can be made.Scorpio
You tend to observe different layers of any given situation in general, dear Scorpio, and especially today. On an emotional level, you may be getting in touch with deeper needs, but the tendency isn’t to pursue your desires just yet but to plan your next move. Today is good for problem-solving, particularly about emotional, personal, and domestic matters. However, there can be some impatience to contend with. The desire to take on new challenges can be strong, particularly those that don’t revolve around the same old routines you’ve been stuck in. However, you may not know where to begin, or you might be expecting too much from yourself too soon. Start small and vary your routine. The intensity you feel today can help you focus or throw you entirely off course, depending on how you manage your emotions.Sagittarius
You’re focusing on finding balance and harmony in your life today, dear Sagittarius. You might recognize the need or desire to include others. While you want to see eye to eye with others, as much as you try, a lack of synchronicity right now can interfere. It’s minor and nothing that patience won’t fix. Be gentle with others, and don’t expect too much from yourself for the best results. Someone’s unreliability, indifference, or irritability can be pronounced, but try not to let others’ moods define your day. Others may be too wrapped up in their own issues to worry too much about yours temporarily. Keep it cool and natural so you can turn it around and get results. Instead of battling it, let your imagination flow.Capricorn
It’s your goal to get your life into order through minor adjustments and edits today, dear Capricorn. You are turning into details and flaws. There is more emotional charge surrounding things that are out of place, making it a good time to fix problems or handle those matters that require critical thinking. The little things behind the more glamorous elements of your life need some attention! Still, there can be tensions to manage if you’re doing the same old things or relating in tired, unhealthy ways with one another. You don’t have to sit on your hands, but you could stand to review and perhaps reevaluate your goals. Others may slow you down today, and you may decide it’s better to work independently.Aquarius
Your desire to be around people or express yourself is strong today, dear Aquarius. You can get a lot done if you focus on the more creative and engaging tasks, or if you vow to follow your heart’s desires rather than a script of what you think you should be doing. However, as the day advances, your instincts may not be serving you as well as they normally do, largely due to a Mars-Uranus transit. As a result, you could feel just a little out of step, particularly when it comes to saying the right thing. Worries have a way of emerging to the foreground, and small problems of recent days suddenly take on larger proportions in your mind. Guilt for not doing what you know you should do is a useless energy, so don’t allow it to creep up on you. There is little risk of losing yourself by being too obliging just now, as it’s a fine time to weigh options and consider others’ points of view, bringing balance to your life.Pisces
You continue to prefer to surround yourself with familiar people and places for most of today, dear Pisces. It’s a time to reconnect with those closest to you, as well as with your own deep-down desires. Take extra time for activities that help you feel more secure. Activities that help build faith in yourself and those closest to you are in favor. Nevertheless, as the day advances, some impatient energy is with you. You can be quite temperamental about whether others value you. It’s important to take things one step at a time. Try not to push yourself too hard or expect to fix everything all at once. Fortunately, the Moon is helping you to see the bigger picture, and making it easier to rise above tension. You’re inclined to dream and reminisce, making it a good time to unwind, but not necessarily strong for clarity.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
