Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Early today, dear Aries, problem-solving continues to be strong. You are unusually open to widening your perspective and experiences. This is an excellent time for pursuing intellectual interests and studies. It may be better to avoid drama right now, which can very quickly escalate later today, but don’t let this define your next move. As the day advances, you could do some battle with self-doubt as Venus and Chiron form a square aspect. Ideally, it can be a learning opportunity, or a small bout of self-pity turns into fuel to move beyond a problem. Building confidence takes time and, often, small and manageable steps.Taurus
You can subtly improve a relationship by demonstrating your steadfastness early today, dear Taurus, which is something that already comes naturally to you. You’re psyched up to put a problem behind you. You can be quite moved to make a decision or to put an idea into action. Early today is good for living in the moment–putting plans aside and allowing yourself some time off from overthinking can be beneficial. Your emotional life is animated and energizing, and it’s easier than usual to decide on a course of action. Still, the day advances with less confidence as Venus and Chiron form a square aspect. With this uncertain energy, it makes sense to wait and see. Events seem to subtly trigger vulnerabilities and insecurities. Letting go of negative feelings such as resentment can be fantastic, but you need to get in touch with your true feelings to begin the work.Gemini
A chance encounter or a bit of serendipity early today might spark a new interest, dear Gemini. Interactions are fast-paced and may not be incredibly personal or intimate, but it’s a good time to take care of business and get to a quick point or bottom line. You’re quick to take on a challenge or solve a problem, and your confidence is strong. But while energies early today favor directness, the day advances with the need for more sensitivity. Aim to keep an open mind about any negative feedback generated now since it can help you grow and improve. If you feel a compulsion to prove or defend yourself to people you shouldn’t need to do either of these things with, try to resist and let your actions speak for themselves.Cancer
You have much common sense with you early today, dear Cancer, and you can be quite passionate, involved, and on the ball, although a bit hurried. You have a stronger sense of what needs doing to improve your daily life and routines. You’re answering to your inner rhythms and might feel weighed down if you need to wait for others to catch up with you. You might work your way through difficult problems or challenges quickly and orderly. However, as the day advances, something slightly uncomfortable may surface in a relationship, but working through it can free you to move forward. In fact, sometimes the idea of a situation causes a lot of worry and concern, but once it happens or is brought to light, it’s far less sinister than you imagined. Knowing you can handle just about anything builds confidence. Sometimes, it’s about facing insecurities rather than glossing over them, and today’s Venus-Chiron square can encourage this.Leo
Early today, you can be motivated, dear Leo, and your impulses seem to be on the mark. Certainly, we’re getting closer to the retrograde of Mars in your sign, which will happen in over a week. That’s when you’ll be taking a closer look at your current pursuits and initiatives. However, for now, you can be excited to share your ideas, and you’re learning much about yourself and what you want. Your spirit for adventure is strong. Efforts put forth now can somehow leave you with more energy than what you started with, simply because you’re feeling hopeful. As today advances, however, you might experience a temporary lull in motivation as Venus and Chiron clash. Something occurring — or not happening — in a relationship can leave you feeling insecure. Avoid explaining yourself to people who are being too narrow, but take the time to make things right with those who deserve your attention. Dissatisfaction might only resolve if given a little time.Virgo
Your energy continues to flow well early today, dear Virgo. You might come to a sudden decision to rearrange your current living setup, or you can fill up with enthusiasm and a strong desire to take action that improves your personal life. Excellent energy is with you today for courageously dealing with emotional or tricky areas and putting annoying situations behind you. You’re ready to solve problems. You can experience mental excitement about a certain topic, and you’re happy to share. However, as the day advances, aim to be more self-aware. Some self-doubt, or doubt about recent undertakings, is natural with a Venus-Chiron square, and it can help steer you in a better direction. Imbalances can be a focal point, keeping you in a state of limbo and unrest, so aim to make adjustments rather than giving problem areas too much attention.Libra
Early today, you’re soaking up a lot of information, dear Libra, and you could be in the position to teach, guide, or instruct. There is a strong feeling of aliveness and freshness with you. Intellectual matters can thrive. You can be feeling refreshed and a little braver or interested in seeing results than usual. Use your natural smarts to maximize your capacity for healthy communication, as reaching out and connecting can bring unexpected opportunities. But while you tend to trust your instincts of the moment on a social level, as the day advances, a Venus-Chiron square comes into play, and there can be brief wrestling with doubts which can have to do with questions of lovability or commitment. However, recognizing these things as insecurities that you need to work through can help you move forward and enjoy yourself. In fact, understanding your limitations or vulnerabilities can lead to a stronger sense of hopefulness and freedom.Scorpio
There could be an answer to a money issue, or you’re motivated to improve your situation early today, dear Scorpio. Ideas are progressive and exciting, and conversations, although rough around the edges, are animated learning experiences. You may fall into a leading role quite organically. It’s a fine time for career connections, income boosts, and taking action to move projects forward. You are unafraid to take small risks or throw more energy into a project or venture. Gentle competition encourages you to shine. Still, as the day advances, you may need to navigate some awkwardness in social situations with a Venus-Chiron square in play. Insecurities about intelligence, likability, or preparedness can be at the heart of problems now. It’s a good idea to pay attention to these, but also to embrace this time as a chance to grow, improve, and accept that you’re perfectly imperfect! Recognize soft spots and sensitivities as things that make you a layered human being.Sagittarius
Early today, plans may seem to be coming together, dear Sagittarius. You’re vibrant and ready to take the reins. You bring an open mind and heart into your close personal relationships. It’s a time for doing something you truly enjoy and applying yourself with strength and confidence. You are ready to take the lead and to take on a challenge. In fact, you may seek out a challenge. As the day advances, keep in mind that people can be sensitive, and there is some tendency to misrepresent feelings. You may feel the weight of recent worries and concerns due to emotional insecurities as Venus and Chiron form a square aspect. Soft spots may be about issues of lovability, but coming out of a pity spell can be highly motivating! In other words, you might choose to embrace the moment and connect with your sadness or pain.Capricorn
You’re well positioned to cut through appearances and uncover something previously unknown or hidden today, dear Capricorn. You’re feeling passionate about a matter, and you can draw on inner strength and motivation to resolve a problem. Your ability to use strategy successfully is enhanced right now. Relationships tend to be a little more passionate and ardent right now, and your personal appeal is especially strong. Still, as the day advances, events can trigger your insecurities, especially regarding the past, living arrangements, or family matters. Fortunately, you’re open to learning from your vulnerabilities. In fact, you may very well turn any pain or frustration into a positive, such as courage to do something you’ve always wanted to do, for example. Still, aim to keep in mind that desires can be misleading temporarily. Consider that you may not see people or things for their true value.Aquarius
Early today, you’re in good shape for pouring your energy into something special, dear Aquarius. You might want to pour energy into a special pursuit. You may recognize that letting someone else take the lead in some way can help you out now. Your mood is cheerful and optimistic, helping you connect more confidently with others. You’re picking up motivation and energy from a partner, friend, or associate. Still, as the day advances, people tend to require more care and sensitivity, and there’s some propensity for misunderstandings or hurt feelings. There’s also a tendency for certain events to reopen a wound on an emotional level as Venus forms a square with Chiron. Hypersensitivity shouldn’t be ignored, as it’s a symptom of a persistently vulnerable spot, which might be a fear of something from your past re-emerging or insecurities related to the mind or learning.Pisces
Early today, you tend to apply yourself with purpose and intent, dear Pisces. Your stamina level is strong, and you might find it easier to get the job done without wasting extra energy. You might choose to allow the pride you feel for your efforts to motivate you further. Goals seem to be within reach. Still, as the day advances, hurt feelings or lack of confidence can figure strongly as Venus and Chiron form a square. While this can be temporarily deflating, you’re also getting in better touch with matters of self-worth and capability of taking care of yourself and loved ones. There is some tendency for others or events to trigger your soft spots now, and these can be important to explore, especially if they’re persistent. Sensitivity is a strength, and you can feel freer as you accept something about your nature now.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
