Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Early today, there can be a tendency to inflate or exaggerate what’s communicated, dear Aries, or even what’s not said, quite possibly to your disadvantage. However, with this inclination tamed and motivation on the rise, today is good for refining ideas. You are thinking in bigger terms but also streamlining. Mercury and the Sun in your solar eighth house are parallel serious Saturn, giving you pause to think about which attitudes may need changing to go after what you want and need more effectively. Decisions about financial matters may need making, and it would be wise to weigh all of the pros and cons, as commitments entered into now can be long-term and significant. It’s a good time to find ways to improve your finances by cutting back. The need to get serious arises, or a reality check is in order, and you could also benefit from a realistic look at your closest relationships.Taurus
While you can feel wishy-washy early today, dear Taurus, serious thoughts about relationships can figure strongly as the day progresses. Or, conversations with a significant other can have a weighty or practical overtone. Decisions made now tend to be long-term ones. Practical concerns in a relationship take higher priority as the day advances, or a project involving joint decision-making comes into play. It can be a time for honoring or holding on to the traditions of the past while planning for future security. It’s a day for getting smart and real about your associations. Still, a Lunar Eclipse will occur in your sign tomorrow, and emotions are more potent than usual–or you’re answering to them!Gemini
Early today, there is some inclination to make more of something than it is, dear Gemini. However, it’s back to business as the morning’s somewhat scattered energy fades, and a stable, practical theme replaces it. Responsibilities weigh more heavily on your mind, or others remind you of them! You may face reality in such a way that you feel stronger knowing where you and everything in your life stand. There is freedom in seeing the truth and accepting it! Co-workers or work itself may be a little more demanding. People see you as more competent or in the know today. Keep in mind that a Lunar Eclipse will occur tomorrow morning, and even with a practical overtone today, emotions are building.Cancer
Facing realities can feel empowering today, dear Cancer, especially after a disappointment or foggy thinking. Early today, however, somebody could be making more of an issue than it is, and exaggeration leads to mistakes or frustrations. While it’s best not to trust everything you hear this morning, you could enjoy and learn from some mental meanderings. Love relationships can have a serious or possibly heavy energy surrounding them as the day advances. You might consider ways to monetize or add more structure to a hobby, make better use of your leisure time, or cut out those things that interfere with getting the most out of your downtime. You could be directing quite a bit of energy into your practical affairs today.Leo
Earlier today, it’s all too easy to blow something out of proportion, dear Leo. While people or information can be distracting, the day is just fine for making small or subtle advances that ultimately work in your favor. In truth, the day shapes up to be quite good for thinking seriously about home and family matters or solving practical problems in your life. You may see your responsibilities, particularly personal and domestic ones, more clearly now. The focus today should be on building, keeping in mind your long-term goals and priorities. Tomorrow’s Lunar Eclipse can signal building emotions today, however. It’s a time of epiphanies, mostly related to your career or responsibilities.Virgo
Early today, the Moon moves into your sector of spirit, dear Virgo, and emotional energy is more outgoing. This transit stimulates bigger ideas and thoughts and pulls you away from the pressure of details. However, the Sun and Mercury parallel Saturn help ground you in realities today. In fact, you’re beginning to crave more organization, structure, and predictability. Fortunately, you are well-equipped to bring form to ideas, draw up realistic plans, and talk to people who can give you good advice or helpful information and tips. It’s a good day for concentration and focus, but not necessarily strong for light conversation or social activity, as you have more serious things to think about.Libra
While the morning’s energies are on the murky side for thinking, dear Libra, the day shapes up to be strong for seeing yourself and your capabilities more clearly. You’re thinking about money matters a little more seriously today, and you can benefit from an exceptionally realistic perspective right now. If you’ve been spending or living beyond your means in any way recently, you feel more mentally equipped to turn your situation around. As the day advances, however, emotions rise due to a Lunar Eclipse set to occur early tomorrow. It’s a time for realizations and epiphanies, especially regarding money, relationships, and power dynamics.Scorpio
While you can begin the day feeling a little scattered or unclear, dear Scorpio, you benefit from more focus as the day advances. Your responsibilities are on your mind today. There can be a need to be realistic, and perhaps face a reality, which can lead to a stronger character and sense of being in control. Some self-assessment can be appropriate, motivating you to discipline yourself to take care of your priorities. However, watch for being too self-critical. Others may not be jumping to help you today, but this fact can push you to fall back on your inner resources, reminding you that you can be self-sufficient if needed. It feels good! Still, tomorrow’s Lunar Eclipse will remind you of your attachment to others (or to someone), and epiphanies are in the works.Sagittarius
Life is a little more private and introspective for you these days, dear Sagittarius, and today, you could be thinking seriously about the past or reassessing recent events. There’s a tendency to keep things to yourself, but you could have a bit of a heavy aura today as you think about more serious matters, and others may notice this. There can be a strong desire to put something to rest, tie up loose ends, or resolve a tricky issue. Today is excellent for strategizing and focusing on good ideas and plans. But as the day advances, we near a Lunar Eclipse that intensifies emotions. It’s a great time to connect with your feelings.Capricorn
Early today, your personal life can pull you in, or there could be a disorganized feeling inside that prevents you from feeling entirely efficient, dear Capricorn. However, the day shapes up to be strong for serious thinking. You could be carefully considering a friendship or group association and assessing it in practical terms. Alternatively, you may be seeing the reality of a particular path you’re taking and recognizing the need to adjust your plans. Responsibilities to others can make themselves known. The Moon moves into your sector of joy today, however, and your attention to spirit-refreshing activities is also essential. Tomorrow’s Lunar Eclipse will occur in this area of your solar chart, and emotions are big.Aquarius
There can be a call to duty today as responsibilities become clearer, dear Aquarius. You crave more organization, realism, and discipline. You could be scrutinizing work, career, or reputation matters, and flaws may reveal themselves. However, you can be very much in the mood for taking care of business. You could feel strengthened by a sense that you’re in the know. Making long-term plans and goals with someone or enjoying their point of view can figure strongly. Conversations tend to go deep. Some introspection can do you good with the Moon’s move into your home and family sector, promoting a naturally more reclusive mood.Pisces
While there can be uncertainty early today, dear Pisces, the day quickly feels clearer. You’re facing realities and realigning your thinking and plans accordingly, which can be exactly what you need right now. You have the powers of practicality and patience on your side. While your thinking has recently been very big and broad, life asks you to fill in some important details now, and you’re equipped to do so. The Moon’s transit today is light, however, and it helps you stay balanced. You may feel compelled to share your ideas. A Lunar Eclipse will occur tomorrow, bringing your emotions very strongly into play. It’s a time for big realizations and connecting with your feelings.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
