Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Mercury moves into your spirit sector today for a three-week stay, dear Aries, supporting more flowing communications and movement. It’s a lovely transit for inspiring enthusiasm and increased faith. This cycle stirs your curiosity and desire to learn new things or expand your knowledge. There can be a clearing of the air that frees your mind. Publishing, reaching a broader audience, promotional activities, and new viewpoints and perspectives challenge you in all the right ways. You could feel more “heard” and reinforced. While it’s a great time for big ideas that come from thinking in broad terms, it’s not necessarily strong for their practical implementation. You’ll find yourself straying from routine and mundane thinking as you entertain lofty ideas. Today, there could be an obstacle, delay, or restriction that is temporarily slowing you down as Mercury clashes with Saturn. Try to keep a sense of humor and perspective! Consider whether insecurity or self-limiting attitudes and perceptions are at play. If blocks are coming from the outside, take the time to strengthen the areas of your life that feel the most vulnerable.Taurus
Mercury moves into your intimacy sector today, dear Taurus, and in the coming three weeks, you will more often read between the lines. It’s a time to bring more logic and objectivity to matters that are sensitive, intimate, or taboo. You have a stronger focus on your inner world and close relationships during this cycle. In fact, you’re interested in making changes within that will affect how you approach your life. It’s a great time to understand some of your habits, tendencies, and gut reactions. Or, you might decide to deal with tricky power dynamics in a relationship and other matters of sharing, including financial issues. Wonderful strategies can emerge, and solving a mystery can be a fun focus. Today, mixed signals are possible, and circumstances seem to block your progress. Someone may be giving too much and getting too little in return. For now, modest ambitions seem best, and slowing down to get things right also makes sense.Gemini
Mercury moves into your opposite sign today, dear Gemini, and will transit this sector of your chart until December 1st. This transit shifts your thoughts to your social or love life. In these three weeks, you benefit from feedback or pairing up to think through problem areas. You might attract someone who stimulates you intellectually. Partnerships, negotiations, compromise, and balance are essential themes in your life now. It’s a strong time for discussions with a partner or special friend. You’re well-positioned to strengthen, repair, improve, and make connections. For the time being, decision-making feels better when done with someone else rather than solo. Even if you’re not following their advice, you’re likely to enjoy hearing other points of view before drawing a conclusion. You seek out others, and they seek you! You stand to learn a lot through one-on-one conversations. Today, a square between Mercury and Saturn influences the first half of the day, and it could mark a small disappointment or obstacle. Sometimes this comes from the outside, and other times, it involves self-limitation or doubt. Ultimately, though, delays and slowdowns can lead to useful changes and improvements if you work constructively with this energy.Cancer
Mercury enters your work and health sector today, dear Cancer, and will stay until December 1st, positioning you well to pay attention to details and work through problems. During this cycle, you’re learning or honing skills and talking through work or health problems. You may be doing a lot of organizing and sorting in the coming three weeks. Use this period to sort out the details of your everyday life. Aim to avoid the potential downside of this combination, which is fretting or stressing over less important things while failing to see the bigger picture. More than usual, the details count now, and it’s a fine period for making edits and adjustments that will get you back on track and in a healthier position to enjoy your life. Today, a Mercury-Saturn square influences the first half of the day, inclining you to see the downside of a situation. While this negative skew can be a downer, it can also turn your attention to areas that need fixing. Worries about the future, health, or knowledge are likely. There may be a mental disconnect with someone or a restless desire for more life experience that’s cut short by the need to get critical work done. Look for ways to work around roadblocks, and keep in mind that it’s best not to take shortcuts with Saturn strong.Leo
Today and until December 1st, Mercury transits your solar fifth house, dear Leo. In the three weeks ahead, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more natural flow of communication. Your ideas are received well, and others admire your intelligence and wit. You’re looking for fun forms of mental stimulation now and may find yourself attracted to (or attracting) people compatible with you on a mental or intellectual level. There can be much interest in self-expression, creativity, and hobbies. You’re finding your joy and sharing your gifts and talents with others more often. Today, however, you may be dealing with a disapproving person or news that dampens your spirits a little. If someone or something is putting a damper on your plans, or if you face criticism, stay centered and connect with what you genuinely feel about your situation. Learning from differences or using a delay to your advantage for fixing problems is best for you now.Virgo
The planet of communication and your planetary ruler, Mercury, heads into your home and family sector today, dear Virgo. This transit, lasting until December 1st, brings on a livelier, more communicative home or personal life. In a worldly sense, you may not be at your very best when expressing your ideas and garnering support for them, but on a personal level, you communicate with more ease and pleasure. You are more able to discuss matters in a rational, objective manner, and this makes it an excellent time to get things out in the open with loved ones. It’s a perfect time for performing some form of a “reset” with thinking and communicating if these things have run ahead of you. You’re thinking about your long-term security and projects that have the potential to perform for you for years to come. With a Mercury-Saturn square early today, a small reality check, delay, or disapproval is possible. Even if frustrating, any of these things will likely be constructive if they lead you to improvements and refinements. You might see the unflattering side of a partner or yourself through a relationship, which can temporarily discourage you. Ideally, you can center yourself and pull out the constructive from whatever feedback you receive.Libra
Mercury moves into your communications sector today, dear Libra, where it comes alive. The cycle ahead, lasting until December 1st, is a good one for learning, studying, socializing, and expressing yourself. While it’s not the best time to focus and concentrate on any one particular subject, you can learn many different things and expand your interests or connections. It can be a pleasantly busy and curious period for you, although you may feel a little nervous at times if you forget to take adequate breaks. Aim to pay more attention to the small jobs and tasks that keep everything connected and moving smoothly in your life in the weeks ahead. A Mercury-Saturn aspect today can point to a small reality check or letdown, but the changes you make as a result can improve your position in the long run. You can feel pressures from inside yourself or the outside world, but either way, this is a time to acknowledge your responsibilities, stopping short of the point at which worry or anxiety take over.Scorpio
Mercury moves out of your sign and into your resources sector today, dear Scorpio, where it will stay until December 1st. During this cycle, you are exceptionally skilled at applying your talents and resources in practical ways. Rational, logical Mercury can help you see your finances differently and stimulate new ideas about making and saving money. Your communication style is subdued or factual, and your mind often turns to matters revolving around ownership, comfort, and resources during this cycle. Thinking or talking through money problems can figure strongly. You are looking at life in practical terms and focused on the value of various situations and ideas. In the first half of today, a Mercury-Saturn influence can point to some reason to feel discouraged or blocked. Blocks can come from people in your life, circumstances, or self-doubt, and tensions could revolve around differences in values and approaches. If others seem to want to challenge you or prove you wrong, respond with sincerity and fairness. Keep things simple and be kind to yourself, as a Mercury-Saturn square can bring negativity or disappointment. While you can always learn something from your mistakes or constructive criticism, in the end, it’s about what you feel is right, so find your center. Clashes don’t always have easy or quick resolutions but they may help redirect your energy in the future.Sagittarius
Mercury moves into your sign today, dear Sagittarius, and will spend time there until December 1st. You have been rather private recently, and while this trend will continue for a bit longer, you can be more communicative and “present” with others with this new Mercury move. This transit positions you well for expressing yourself clearly and effectively. It’s also great for gaining allies. You can sometimes be a little nervous during this cycle, and while you tend to make more executive decisions and it makes the most sense right now, you may need to remind yourself to turn your mind “off” from time to time. Overthinking things is counterproductive. You are busier than usual, more inclined to attract others through your perspective or wit, and you can feel incredibly motivated to get moving on a pet project or learn something entirely new. Today’s energies can be tense mentally, but it’s temporary. You could be deliberating over a matter, and it can be hard to concentrate on much else. Some days are good for throwing yourself into something new, while others, like today, are better for sticking to the rules. If you’ve been excited about a plan or idea and it’s just not picking up steam, or others seem uninterested or critical, motivation levels can dip temporarily. Try not to waste energy worrying about the future and feeling guilty about the past, but shutting out information is not ideal, so look for the lesson.Capricorn
Mercury heads into your privacy sector today, dear Capricorn, where it will stick around until December 1st. This transit tends to pull you inward, and it’s an excellent cycle for tapping into your inner wisdom. You’re assessing your life from a different perspective, seeing different layers to every situation. You are more sensitive in your conversations in general now, but also quite receptive psychically. You could spend more time alone, quickly getting lost in your thoughts or working in relative solitude. You aren’t as forthcoming and verbal during this period, and many projects, plans, and decisions tend to be in a gestation stage. Today, with a Mercury-Saturn square strong in the first half of the day, it’s easier to see the downsides of a situation. It’s probably better not to make a decision from a state of worry unless you genuinely have to, but aim to learn from this perspective. You may be feeling a little insecure about recent comments or openness, experiencing some feelings of regret or fear that you may have revealed too much. Try not to allow insecurities to rule, as you’re likely to make mountains out of molehills now.Aquarius
The planet of communication, Mercury, heads into your solar eleventh house today, dear Aquarius, and stays in this social sector of your chart until December 1st. Mercury brings good energy for interacting with friends and sharing your hopes and ideas with like-minded people in the weeks ahead. You gravitate toward progressive ideas and causes, or you might contribute more or share your expertise with others. There can be notable discussions, musings, ideas, and learning experiences sparked through friends, networking, or groups during this cycle. Mercury here can encourage your interest in making connections and awaken your interest in a dream or project. Your mind is more inventive and open, and your happiness goals or social life can be strongly on your mind. Today, you may see the flaws of a situation as Mercury forms a square to Saturn. While this can be deflating, it positions you to work on problem areas and strengthen your plans. A temporary drop in confidence can lead to negative thinking a little too quickly, and it’s best to take the lesson from a dip rather than dwell on it. Focus on what’s best for you in the long term. Look within to your inner wisdom instead of allowing others’ input unduly influence your decisions. Keep your sense of humor today, which is likely to be far easier to do as the day progresses.Pisces
Mercury begins its three-week transit of your solar tenth house today, dear Pisces. With Mercury at the top of your solar chart, your communications seem to “count” more, and people hear you loud and clear! There can be a new or stronger communications theme in your job. This transit can stir increased mental activity and communication revolving around your career, responsibilities, life path, or societal position. You’re especially inclined to plan ahead. Today, you can feel held back by mundane activities, correcting errors, errands, chores, and other responsibilities that you hadn’t anticipated or put out of your mind. Try not to stress over differences of opinion or roadblocks. This can be a good time for learning more about yourself and important people in your life, ultimately. If you get the sense that others have too much say in your life right now, you can become quite irritable. It’s easy to feel offended or frustrated, but tensions may be about a desire to improve. Self-doubt should prompt some reflection. Take your time weighing pros and cons and consider all of your options, but avoid harping on the past. It will be far more productive if you look forward to how you can make improvements.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
