Good energy is with you for tackling long-standing problems or work and making a real dent in your to-do list. Working anonymously or from behind the scenes can prove beneficial. This is a fine time for strategy. You can be the power behind the throne in some ways now with your support or groundwork. It’s a powerful time for resolving old problems that have been nagging you in recent months, and you can feel empowered, indeed, as you put something behind you once and for all. Later today, there can be a tendency to want to cocoon yourself from stressful situations or to seek escape from direct contact with certain people. You might not be feeling up to coming to conclusions, making strict commitments, or dealing with definitions. Try to stay calm and composed if something unexpected crops up since you’ll get back on track soon enough.Gemini

You could gain an edge by waiting for the right moment or passing on something and waiting for something better. It’s not always about what you do–sometimes, it’s about what you avoid! At the same time, things that have been written off, forgotten about, or set aside may now be of great use to you. You’re feeling more ambitious, and either people or circumstances seem to work entirely in your favor. Later today, however, if you’re expecting life to follow the rules, you might feel a little let down. There can be some fuzziness or ambiguity to deal with as the Sun and Neptune form a minor clash, and temporarily, it may not be easy to motivate yourself to get a whole lot done. If you let things be rather than push for definitions and firm answers, you’ll be far better off.Leo

Your instincts are excellent for putting your energy into activities likely to thrive and leave you feeling accomplished or empowered.

Later today, if you’re receiving confusing signals from a significant other or partner, it may have to do with insecurities or uncertainties rather than full-on issues or problems. You could be romanticizing situations or people. Behaviors can baffle you, and while you love a good mystery to wrap your mind around, when it comes to people and your relationships, you don’t appreciate ambiguity. You prefer to know where you stand.Libra

There can also be very productive activities with a significant person in your life. It’s a time when you can get pleasantly carried away with or absorbed in a project or even a person.

This second-guessing can end up giving you a chance to catch your breath. Try not to expect too much, and keep in mind that you are a little more sensitive to imbalances in your environment and fluctuations in others’ moods.Scorpio
Your focus is stellar early today, dear Scorpio, and you can barrel through tasks that usually would take much longer to complete. Concentration and commitment are the keys right now, bringing rewards. It’s a great time to get a leg up on work or health routines. While you’re determined, you’re also expending energy intelligently. Motivated by today’s Mars-Pluto aspect, it’s a wonderful time to get things done and somehow feel more energetic after hours of effort! With your heart engaged, you can move mountains today. A Sun-Neptune influence later today can temporarily slow you down, but it’s likely to your benefit. Work and chores can seem overwhelming temporarily, and energy is variable, perhaps reflecting some lack of confidence in what you’re currently doing or where you’re heading. Allow yourself to steer a little off course to get your bearings. Don’t take temporary waning of enthusiasm too seriously, but do consider if you’ve been missing something on spiritual and emotional levels.Sagittarius
Others seem more dependable than usual, dear Sagittarius, and your determination is increasing. Channeling your energy into creative or productive pursuits is most successful as Mars and Pluto harmonize. It can be a great time to begin a new project or apply yourself to a special work-in-progress. To boot, you have more influence and persuasive power than usual. There’s quite a bit of punch to your words, creations, and impact, and others are appreciating your particular brand of energy. However, later today, you’re unlikely to find a straight, direct path to achieving your goals, and you might even temporarily second-guess the destination. This is due to a Sun-Neptune minor aspect challenging you to question the ordinary. Try to treat these as amusing detours rather than true roadblocks. Imagine, dream, and consider options you’ve forgotten or never recognized before, as this is an excellent time to think outside the box.Capricorn
Today’s Mars-Pluto aspect is good for strategy and patience, dear Capricorn. Home or inner renovations may be in focus, but reorganization can just as well be in order. You may get a real sense of how you can better use your resources. Take a closer look at expenses and think about what you already have. You’re using new energy on old issues quite successfully. Your feelings can be pleasantly complex. As the day advances, however, there can be some deflation or a desire to escape. Avoid trying to find definitive answers to problems and instead offer others (and yourself) kind words. While there can be a strong temptation to fudge your way out of facing situations that you’d prefer to avoid, it’s unlikely to benefit you in the long run. Try to take some time off today to be alone with your thoughts and ideas, as they can serve you exceptionally well right now.Aquarius
Motivation levels are good as you begin the day, dear Aquarius, and you may want to take on projects that require concentration or competitive activities to take full advantage. You might pleasantly focus on your learning and researching activities, personal interests, and projects. It’s a strong time for personal influence, impact, and magnetism. Your energy reserves are healthy. You may uncover answers to complex problems. Later today, however, people around you, and particularly those closest to you, tend to be elusive or ambiguous. Alternatively, you may be feeling some waves of uncertainty. There can also be some need for clarity in business and especially financial affairs right now, as relevant details can be overlooked. Try to pace yourself.Pisces
Focused energy and determination can help you turn around a financial or emotional matter, dear Pisces. Combined with your smart sense of priorities, you may be able to further practical or business goals and feel quite accomplished as you do. Satisfaction comes from a job well done. It’s also a fine time to get rid of excess baggage in your life, as you have a stronger ability to see what needs to be left behind.

Some confusion or fogginess is temporary, and this is especially the case regarding business and financial matters.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
