Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Early today, there can be impatient communications to contend with, dear Aries, or frustrations with inconsiderate people or stubborn opinions. Try to keep things in perspective while watching for hasty actions and communications. It makes sense to slow yourself down just enough to catch mistakes or prevent unnecessary conflicts. Try to direct any excess energy into something you truly love doing. Unresolved problems can be glaring, but it’s hard to know how to tackle them. Watch for trying to apply band-aid solutions to problems that require more depth and energy. Making too-quick decisions may not be the best idea. As the day advances, however, transits bring an energetic boost. You more easily connect with your instincts and express yourself more naturally. You could feel a stronger desire for movement or variety.Taurus
You may feel some pressure to speed things up early today, dear Taurus, but it’s best not to rush into decisions. Unfortunately, people are not inclined to take the time to listen, and frustrations can result. There are better times for bringing up tricky topics! While you are encouraged to do inner exploration today, the first half of the day can feel hectic. Aim to feed your mind’s need for stimulation, but avoid jumping to conclusions or communicating too quickly. Note that mental stress could interfere with your ability to think clearly and take action confidently for the time being. As the day advances, it comes naturally to keep yourself busy. You might actively work at improving your home life or your feelings of security and comfort. You feel more emotionally fulfilled when you apply yourself to something that elevates your life.Gemini
It may be best to watch what you say and avoid rushing through paperwork and conversations in the first half of the day, dear Gemini. Mercury and Mars connect via a minor challenging aspect, stirring a sense that you should rush or push a matter. However, we may not be thinking clearly. There can be quite a bit of energy available, but it isn’t easy to channel it. A disagreement over ideas or choice of words with a partner is possible. Keeping yourself mentally stimulated and engaged can be helpful. It can be tempting to skip steps or jump to conclusions, but neither is advisable. As the day advances, transits support easier, more rewarding sharing and connecting. You’re also more enthusiastic about your interests and projects. You’re interactive and interested in feedback.Cancer
In the first half of the day, dear Cancer, there can be some tension as a Mercury-Mars minor challenging aspect can speed up your thinking or give you a sense that you should be doing more than you are. Irritations tend to stem from a lack of control over routines or work. Watch for a competitive edge in your communications. You could feel impatient with people who are taking too much time or who are otherwise blocking your progress. Do your best to center yourself or direct excess mental energy into something productive. Watch for off-the-cuff remarks or quick decisions and conclusions. As the day advances, you find great energy for self-improvement efforts or working on securing particular areas of your life.Leo
The Mercury-Mars aspect occurring early today can point to tense feelings, dear Leo. At its best, this aspect can encourage you to take care of important business, and at its worst, it may lead to impulsive speech or unnecessary arguments. Make it a goal to let go of negative feelings if they’re not motivating you to make improvements. Avoid jumping to conclusions or pushing matters. Instead, find ways to soothe frayed nerves. While you may be dealing with inner restlessness, the enthusiasm you express can inspire others to follow suit. People in your life are more likely to appreciate your unique vision and perspective. Following a passion or a new interest can be exciting as the day advances, especially.Virgo
Mercury in a challenging aspect with Mars influences the first half of the day, dear Virgo, bringing brewing frustrations to the surface, particularly with family or tension in your personal life. Consider both the benefits and challenges that impulsiveness brings to your life so that you are better equipped to deal with surprise elements coming your way. This transit can n make it all too easy for impatience to get the best of you, but don’t let it rule you. There is some tendency to bicker or nitpick. Use this energy for its ability to quickly size up a situation, but avoid jumping to conclusions. The Moon’s move into your solar fourth house pulls you into yourself, and it can be a good time for emotional renewal if you’re determined to get it as the day advances. At the same time, today’s transits motivate you to handle problem areas.Libra
In the first half of the day, dear Libra, try to resist a feeling that you need to rush something. You could be working under stress right now, feeling pressure to produce or to solve problems quickly. Impatience can make some waves in your life, and while you can feel restless, it’s best to avoid random changes. Pushing too hard, particularly with a friend, can lead to unnecessary frustration. While conversations seem light on the surface, there can be some tense undercurrents. The root of tension may be concerns for the future or increasing ambitions or competition. There can be minor but marked conflicts of interest with someone. As the day progresses, you will likely find it far easier to pace yourself. Looking at things from a balanced perspective builds your confidence naturally.Scorpio
Early today can be a time when the ordinary doesn’t satisfy, dear Scorpio, which can lead to interesting thoughts but possibly some restlessness as well. There can be a war of words over personal possessions, values, communication styles, or respect. Aim to be as flexible and adaptable as possible while keeping the bigger picture in perspective so you don’t let the little problems drag you down. Impulsiveness is a tendency, so you might aim to avoid jumping into something prematurely and watch for tensions over expectations from others. Messages can be conflicting right now. It’s all too easy to take disagreements personally. Fortunately, as the day advances, it’s more straightforward to set your own pace rather than rely on others who may not be moving at the right speed for your liking. Tensions will dissipate as the day advances when your natural enthusiasm takes over.Sagittarius
Your words have more impact these days, dear Sagittarius, making it especially important to watch you don’t communicate impulsively or get overly fired up over a difference in opinion. With Mercury retrograde running into Mars, the tendency to make rash decisions runs high in the first half of the day. Skipping steps or ignoring precautions can lead to poor choices if you’re not careful. It may be best to conserve energy rather than snap back. As the day advances, there’s good energy for arriving at an understanding with someone or about a long-standing problem. You persevere through problem areas that may have prevented you from moving on and expressing yourself authentically. You might boost a friendship through your new interests, beliefs, or studies.Capricorn
You could feel somewhat unsettled in the first half of the day, dear Capricorn, with a minor challenging Mercury-Mars aspect generating tension. Taking quick action may not have desirable outcomes if you’re acting from this state. Avoid the tendency to jump to conclusions or to make unstudied choices. Something might emerge from your past that you’d prefer to stay buried. Alternatively, your mind can be restlessly scanning the past for answers, and settling yourself can be difficult. There can be a lack of flow and perhaps some misunderstandings to manage, although nothing you can’t handle! As the day advances, you might recognize the value of taking a step back from the world in some meaningful way. You might crave release from overstimulation.Aquarius
It’s best to watch for impatience when communicating early today, dear Aquarius. Skipping steps or information is a tendency, and so is being quick to argue or nitpick with Mercury’s minor challenging aspect to Mars. It’s a good idea to stay centered and focused rather than allow others’ dramas to throw off decision-making. The Moon moves into your social sector today, and it’s a good time of the lunar month to seek inspiration. As the day advances, transits are strong for solving a problem or arriving at a clever idea. It’s best not to wait for others to sense your needs and wants and throw yourself into your own initiatives instead. However, as you do, you tend to attract admiration.Pisces
Watch for impatient, impulsive communications early today, dear Pisces, as well as tension related to schedule changes. Today is better for troubleshooting and edits. There can be misunderstandings or poor timing that make relating to one another a little strained. Do your part by resolving not to take things too personally if things are slightly off. Be careful about what you communicate, especially professionally, as your words hold more weight than usual with Mercury at the top of your solar chart. Avoid the trap of thinking that’s too hasty. The tendency to jump to conclusions or arguments is strong. However, as the day advances, you feel more confident as you get in better touch with your goals. Going your own way in your work or with your routines is satisfying.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
