Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The communication planet, Mercury, begins its transit of your solar ninth house today, dear Aries, where it will visit until December 6th. Venus just moved into this sector of your solar chart yesterday, and now with Mercury here, you’re even more interested in learning, sharing, or doing new things. This Mercury cycle is especially supportive of flowing communications and movement, and it’s lovely for inspiring enthusiasm and increased faith. It stirs your curiosity and stimulates your desire to learn. You have a stronger desire to expand or share your knowledge. There can be a clearing of the air that frees your mind. New viewpoints and perspectives challenge you in happy 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. Still, today’s Moon helps you see the important details that keep life running smoothly.Taurus
Venus moved into your intimacy sector yesterday, and Mercury does the same today, dear Taurus. In the coming weeks, you’ll be picking up all sorts of information and cues, reading between the lines more often than not. You bring more logic and objectivity to matters that are sensitive or intimate. Together, these transits bring a stronger focus on your inner world and close relationships. Making deeper changes that affect how you approach your life can figure strongly. It’s a good time to make sense of your habits, tendencies, and gut reactions. Or, you might decide to deal with tricky power dynamics in a relationship or other matters of sharing, including financial issues.

You might attract someone who stimulates you intellectually, or you have more frequent conversations with others. Partnerships, negotiations, compromise, and balance are bigger themes in your life, especially with Venus in the same sector. It’s a strong time for discussions with a partner or special friend. You’re highly positioned to strengthen, repair, improve, and make connections. You seek out others, and they seek you! You stand to learn a lot through one-on-one interactions.Cancer
Mercury moves into your work and health sector today, dear Cancer, positioning you well for paying attention to details and working through problems. Until December 6th, you can learn much and talk through work or health problems. You may be doing a lot of organizing, learning, and sorting in the weeks ahead. You might use this period to sort out the important details of your everyday life. Find practical ways to improve your health and habits, but be sure to balance work with rest, as there is a tendency to overthink and fret with this position! Today’s energies are good for self-expression, communicating, networking, and friendships. People are drawn to you and your ideas.Leo
Today and until December 6th, Mercury transits your solar fifth house, dear Leo.

The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Virgo, and you’re craving a connection to the world around you. You can feel as if you’re coming alive emotionally. Today also brings the planet of communication, Mercury, which also happens to be your planetary ruler, into your home and family sector. This transit, lasting until December 6th, brings on a livelier, more communicative home or personal life. Venus just headed into the same sector yesterday, and Mercury’s move today puts even more focus on your domestic world. In a worldly sense, you may not be at your very best when it comes to expressing your ideas and garnering support for them, but personally, you are communicating 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 an excellent 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.Libra
You prefer not to be the center of attention today, dear Libra, as you need a break from the usual with the Moon’s transit of the sign behind yours. However, your mind is fully engaged. Mercury moves into your communications sector today, where it’s well-suited and also comes alive. The cycle ahead, lasting until December 6th, is good for expressing yourself, learning, studying, and socializing. While it’s not the best time to focus and concentrate on a particular subject, diversifying can work to your benefit for now. Because Mercury rules your privacy sector, it’s also a time when you can express yourself with secret or private matters more readily. It can be a pleasantly busy and curious period for you, especially with Venus in the same sector, although you may feel a little nervous 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.Scorpio
Mercury heads into your solar second house, where it will visit until December 6th, dear Scorpio. Venus just moved into the same sector, and you’re beginning a quite practical and sensible period.

You may need to make important financial decisions, or you’re seeking feedback about your value and worth from others.

You can be especially clever with money and particularly resourceful in your endeavors in the coming weeks. This transit clarifies money matters and increases your ability to make informed decisions about money and personal possessions.Sagittarius
Mercury moves into your sign today, and will visit until December 6th, dear Sagittarius. Venus just began its transit of your sign yesterday. These transits put you in a stronger position to express yourself clearly and effectively and for gaining allies. With Mercury here, you could make more executive decisions. Certainly, you may need to remind yourself to turn your mind “off” from time to time, remembering that overthinking things is counter-productive. You are busier than usual, more inclined to attract others through your perspective or wit. You can feel especially motivated to get moving on a pet project or learn something entirely new. In the weeks ahead, you’ll be projecting more strength in your communications.
