Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Distractions are not welcome today, dear Aries, especially as the day advances. You’re motivated to pursue a particular project or research an idea, and it’s more productive and constructive than obsessive. Conversations become deep or profound, even if they don’t at first seem to be heading in that direction. Your mind is gearing up to solve a mystery. Working towards a specific goal and in a step-by-step fashion gets the right results today. You’re likely to enjoy more focus and stability. Today can be a fine time to learn new things and make substantial progress on your projects. Work and problem-solving are highly favored. A commitment to make improvements comes more readily.Taurus
You generally don’t enjoy complex or complicated situations, preferring clarity and certainty in your life, dear Taurus, but part of you gravitates to some level of emotional chaos, drama, or complexity these days. If you do not recognize that this energy is coming from within, you might attract it to you through events and other people. There is great energy with you for work and health improvement today–you can get to the very root of a problem. You’ll see time wasters for what they are, and you may stumble upon methods that help you tighten up your work or routines. Still, the Moon’s move into your spirit sector reminds you of the need to expand your horizons, if only on a mental level, as you learn new things. You begin to crave more light and space on an emotional level.Gemini
Your focus and concentration levels are particularly strong today, dear Gemini, and conversations can be most rewarding. It’s possible you’re getting to the bottom of a matter which can help you center yourself. You may want to insulate yourself from change, distraction, and demands on you just for now as you catch your breath. You can make good headway in a creative or communications project, and you’re more focused and willing to put in the effort necessary to make progress. There is a “back to business” feeling to the day, with long-term results an important and motivating goal. While you’re pretty self-motivated, collaboration can be a positive focus as the day advances. Creative pursuits and time spent on expressive or leisure activities can be felt to be healing. You’re up for a challenge on a mental level, and you’re rather fearless on an emotional level, as well.Cancer
It can be satisfying to break through self-deceptions or limitations today, dear Cancer. Conversations about or with a partner can be very fruitful and significant. Today’s influences favor practical things and domestic activities. A patient and methodical approach can help you resolve problems and reduce stress. There can be a boost to work and health, and you can feel good about committing to something specific. It can be very healing and rewarding to pour more of your energies into your personal life. You might reach a whole new level of understanding with someone special, or even with yourself, which can be just as important now. The Moon’s move into your partnership sector encourages your interest in companionship or feedback.Leo
You might identify problems and seek answers to recent complicated feelings or events today, dear Leo. Fortunately, you’re ready to focus and concentrate. Business activities can be clever and positive today, and a steady pace works well for you. You can be rather self-sufficient and focused, and a prime motivator is a goal to ultimately feel less indebted to others or dependent on things. Maintenance tasks can be the most appealing right now. Your organizational skills are especially in demand today. People are drawn to your advice and intelligence. Details you may have missed in recent days become more apparent, making this a good time to pay more attention to a special area of interest. You’re putting in the extra effort and feeling good about doing so. As the Moon moves into your work and health sector today, you’ll feel good about getting your chores and responsibilities handled.Virgo
Good energy is with you for finding satisfying ways to express yourself today, dear Virgo. You have a little more influence, which can be positive if you use your power well since your words have more impact. The day is good for getting to the bottom of a matter and for relating one-on-one. Problem-solving is favored. You’re making smart decisions and seeing your priorities. You might give good advice, and you are far less distracted so that a patient and orderly approach works wonders and helps alleviate stress. You’re self-motivated, dealing with details that may have been missed (or that you didn’t want to see) in the past. The desire to make your life more secure drives you. Even so, the Moon’s move into your solar fifth house today points to the need for some hearty, healing leisure time, so do make time for both.Libra
You see more layers to a situation today, dear Libra, which can help you gain a sense of peace. There is good energy for developments around the home and with self-improvement efforts. It’s a generally fine time for independent work, commitment, and personal pursuits that require some dedication and focus. Your heart is genuinely into your pursuits, and your ability to focus improves. Zeroing on the details rather than the bigger picture makes sense right now, particularly if you are tying up loose ends on a project. You feel most accomplished if you pay special attention to those things you’ve let slide in the past. You’re making smart decisions and seeing your priorities with a clearer vision today. A thorough approach works best right now. Today is less about moving forward and more about building your strength and momentum for the road ahead of you. With the Moon’s move into your solar fourth house, you’re likely to crave some comfort. Even so, you are inclined to stay busy.Scorpio
Today’s Mercury-Pluto parallel increases your personal presence and impact, dear Scorpio. You are usually quite courageous about facing the truth, and today, this trait is emphasized. Finances can benefit from extra attention and strategic thinking. You are more purposeful and confident than usual. This can be a wonderful time for making long-term plans or thinking up tangible ways to realize a goal or dream. Practicality and willingness to draw upon common sense can help you lock something down, and increased clarity feels good. Still, the Moon moves into your communications sector, where it will transit for over two days, encouraging your curiosity. You’re likely to do more connecting, sharing, and learning.Sagittarius
Others naturally follow your lead or go along with your plans today, dear Sagittarius. Challenging problems are best approached from their very root, as you’re more inclined to see things in terms of origins and the past. It’s also a good time to do some deeper thinking. Drawing on self-discipline and patience is easier today. Favorable energy is with you for communications projects, publishing, and smart thinking. It can be a good time to run business ideas by friends or to make plans and strategies with others. You’re inclined to want to do something practical, useful, or helpful. Fortunately, you can reach a new level of respect or reliability in a relationship. Focusing on long-term happiness goals is healing at this time.Capricorn
Today’s energies inspire practical thinking and processing, dear Capricorn. You’re well-positioned to draw upon experience and wisdom and apply it to a current problem. It’s also suitable for quiet study or work in relative solitude. You’ll find it easier to focus on your priorities more attentively than usual. It’s a great time to notice and handle details. You’re more patient and persistent with your work or life path goals, and leading and managing can be in focus. Thoughts of the past are powerful today, and you might come to an important conclusion. You could be in the background, giving you important opportunities to reflect, although as the day advances, the Moon moves into your sign, and you can feel the need to stand out. Your sense of what will work and thrive is in great form today, making it a good time to sort or declutter.Aquarius
You’re likely to find some serious opportunities to concentrate and focus today, dear Aquarius. Making lists or writing out intentions can help you sort out mind clutter. Work and problem-solving are highly favored today, and you could crave a deeper connection to a project, idea, person, or yourself. You might explore a topic or work on a project intently and with higher powers of concentration than usual. Even so, interesting questions can come up with friends, giving you pause to think. Life is busy, but mainly in a pleasing way, but as the day advances, the Moon heads into your privacy sector, and it feels more natural to take some downtime. Today’s energies are good for implementing small, manageable changes. You more naturally draw upon your resourcefulness.Pisces
It’s a good day for personal influence, dear Pisces. Be persuasive if it suits you, but avoid putting too much weight on whether or not people are adopting your ideas. This can be a good time to put in extra effort to learn, study, or perfect a project or craft. You can derive pleasure from working on a pursuit designed to last. You might instead take special care of your responsibilities now, and it’s satisfying to do so. You could get some solid work done or sort through a previously frustrating or disorganized situation. You’re in the right frame of mind for taking care of business, and you can be quite excited about finding solutions to problems. The Moon heads into your solar eleventh house today, and you start to concern yourself less with the pressures of performance and responsibility, preferring to unwind.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
