Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
There can be some missteps in your communications today, dear Aries, as someone may be pushing the usual boundaries. Differences in beliefs and ideals can get to you more than usual. Later today, interactions with others may not go especially smoothly. You might waver between keeping things light and going deeper. Mixed feelings can be the result. It’s a time for adjusting your expectations if you’ve been overshooting. Enthusiasm can run high but fall suddenly, much like a sugar high. There can be some opportunities for pleasure and enjoyment emerging now, however, and you’ll have better luck with them if you aim to let go of the tendency to overthink. The Moon spending the day in your privacy or mental wellness sector points you in the direction of processing, disengaging, and relaxing.Taurus
Today features some healing energy, particularly for private, personal matters, dear Taurus. Your obligations to friends or your happiness goals are also in the spotlight. With an awkward angle between the Sun and Jupiter coming into play later today, you might grapple with divided interests. The key is to get over the idea that you need to go hard or not at all. Moderation can be challenging to practice but will help bring you down to earth, ready to recognize and grab the day’s opportunities. Focus on freeing yourself of unnecessary mental burdens for the best results today. Relationships can feel a little out of sync but likely only need adjustments, particularly when it comes to expectations of one another and of the relationship itself. Avoiding big purchases or business decisions may be wise.Gemini
Today’s Moon-Mercury square can temporarily skew perceptions to the point that you see things through your insecurities, dear Gemini. However, gravitating to grounding activities can help. With the Moon at the top of your solar chart all day, you are emotionally invested in your reputation, duties, or career, and this can help or hinder you, depending on your emotional state! Do this in moderation, and you’re in great shape for making adjustments and refinements that improve your life. You can be sensitive to feedback or appreciation from others now. Later today, decisions about work or health can be tricky and perhaps undercut by distractions or divided interests. You may want to help others or get your work done today, but you also have a strong need to do things independently or pursue your personal interests as the Sun in your service sector heads into conflict with Jupiter in your sign. This dilemma can only be resolved by toning things down and compromising.Cancer
Your special interests can be absorbing today, dear Cancer, and you can feel pleasantly committed to a pursuit. The Moon spends the day in your adventure sector, and you are drawn to a healthy escape from ordinary, dull, or routine elements of your life. You’re thinking in big terms and inclined to want to see the bigger picture rather than the details of plans. Moderation is wise right now but difficult to practice as the day advances as the Sun and Jupiter head into an awkward aspect. You can feel strong desires to connect with others but also to keep to yourself right now, but if you get too hung up on decision-making, you can miss out on getting much of anything accomplished. It may be best to make adjustments and compromises rather than bold moves. Whether to take a break or share with others can be a dilemma, but with a bit of creativity to combine them, you might enjoy yourself.Leo
Today’s Moon can prompt you to seek a special connection with a person or project, dear Leo. You might enjoy a stronger sense of purpose or meaning through your contacts, but introspection serves you well now. You can come to a new understanding of your needs, fears, and feelings. Your observation skills are above par, although there is a slight tendency to read too much into situations in which you are personally involved. The desire to stick with what’s familiar is strong with the Sun currently transiting your home and family sector. The Sun and Jupiter are on different wavelengths, however, and the desire to break new ground can compete with this self-protective, insular influence. You may have problems balancing your social and private life or swing between staying in limbo and acting on impulse, but it’s best to find the middle road and aim for moderation. Try not to pressure yourself to do it all.Virgo
The Moon opposes your sign today, dear Virgo, and you’re more likely to seek or consider feedback, whether you agree with it or not! The key is a different perspective that can jog your own thinking. You crave more balance and harmony now, but it’s best not to do so indiscriminately. Sometimes, a bit of conflict is necessary before you get to a state of peace, and this may be the case today. You can feel a strong desire to accomplish something significant today but an equally compelling need to pursue your personal interests or explore your options. Because you’re only human, you can’t manage to do both full-on at once, so you may decide to tone things down or compromise. Otherwise, you’re likely to be stuck in limbo, not entirely satisfied with anything that transpires.Libra
The practical details and routines in your life are in stronger focus for you today, dear Libra. You’re unlikely to feel at emotional peace if you don’t accomplish something constructive. Even though you’re attending to the small things that need fixing, these improvements can ultimately lead to significant changes and developments. As the day advances, you can feel on one hand that you want to do something out of the ordinary and explore new places or ideas, and on the other, the need to get comfortable. The Sun in your resources sector encourages you to play it safe and stick to what you know, and it’s heading into an awkward aspect with Jupiter in your adventure and spirit sector that’s stirring the desire to branch out and try something entirely new. Attempt to dream up ways to satisfy both your freedom-seeking side and your equally strong need to keep things straightforward and familiar and aim for moderation. This way, whatever you decide to do doesn’t feel overwhelming.Scorpio
There can be some indecision to manage today, dear Scorpio, but also some opportunities to apply yourself to things you love. There is a sense that making small changes can lead to big improvements. As the day advances, you’re a little more inclined to act on ego or emotion rather than reason, particularly related to relationships. Before making an important or big commitment today, ensure you’re considering and seeing all the details. Ask questions, as the potential for misunderstandings is strong. You’ve had some great days for thinking and expressing yourself, and today, you may need to give things a rest. Try not to overthink. Watch for a tendency to take on a challenge or project that eventually becomes a burden, as overestimating your interest in something or underestimating the time and energy needed to complete it is possible.Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in your solar fourth house, dear Sagittarius, emphasizing the need for familiarity and comfort. It gets you in the mood to settle in, relax, and put your feet up. You tend to stick to what you know at the moment as you clear your head and take a break from the action. Nevertheless, you could wrestle with competing urges as the day advances. Whether to go it alone or share your activities can be an issue now. Try not to procrastinate or commit to something beyond your means today. If you attempt to do it all, you may overreach and regret it later. There can be some indecisiveness that is irritating enough that you end up doing something to break the limbo that may not be in your best interests. Try not to make assumptions prematurely. Taming restlessness can go a long way towards having a good day.Capricorn
The Moon spends all day in your communications sector, dear Capricorn, encouraging you to reach out and connect. Keeping busy and mentally stimulated leads to the most emotional satisfaction with this transit. As the day advances, there can be pulls towards socializing and equally strong desire or need to get things done, however. With current influences, it’s all too easy to misjudge your capacities, which can lead to taking on too much. There can be exaggeration or misinformation in your work and among friends, or people may be expecting far too much of you without enough appreciation for all you do or all that is on your plate. Making decisions tends to pull up guilty feelings, as you may think in either/or terms when blending and balancing would be a wiser choice. Try not to spend too much time weighing the pros and cons and take a break from over-thinking if you can.Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your comfortable solar second house, and you’re seeking some predictability, dear Aquarius. You have an emotional desire or need to settle in. You’re paying more attention to the practical details or viability of recent ideas and plans. Preparation or development activities are satisfying right now. As the day advances, you may face the need to make adjustments. Take steps to narrow things down, pace yourself, and prioritize if you feel overwhelmed. Expectations of others or your goals may be off, and promises made today can be hard to keep later as they may be half-hearted or based solely on the moment’s feelings. You could be tempted to agree to something to avoid the pain of indecision! However, it’s best to get in better touch with your real needs and wants. Letting go of minor irritations will help you enjoy the pleasant energy of the day.Pisces
You might grapple with worries or criticism surrounding your professional life or performance, dear Pisces. There can be ups and downs, but try not to get carried away, as there can be much ado about nothing right now. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and you’re tuning in to your personal needs, plans, and feelings. As the day advances, you could feel torn between a strong desire to stick with the familiar and an equally compelling desire to stick your neck out or branch out. As such, scheduling can be difficult, so you may need to play things by ear if you can. If you stay on the fence, you are likely to feel like you’ve missed out, which leaves you either adjusting your expectations, finding a nice balance, or simply making a decision and living with it. Any way you choose, at least you’re not left in a place of inertia or overthinking. But while there can be times when you’re overshooting, you’re in generally good shape for learning from your experiences.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
