Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You can be rather goal-oriented as you begin the day, dear Aries, but changes of mind or schedule can pull your attention away from your priorities as the day advances. For one, a Venus-Uranus transit can stir restless feelings. You fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds these days, so aim to deal with fears of change in order to move past them. For another, resentments or frustrations that have been building, particularly in your romantic or social life, can reach a boiling point as the Moon opposes Mars. While you should wait out final decisions, acknowledge whatever feelings are coming to the surface today, even if they seem to be irrational, but keep in mind that you don’t have to act on them yet.Taurus
With Venus currently transiting your solar eighth house, dear Taurus, intensity, passion, and emotional attachment are more prominent themes with love, pleasure, and pastimes. It’s a generally good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. However, there can be some confusing signals coming from someone close to you today, or there can be a disconnect and moodiness to manage. With the Moon moving into your public sector later today, it’s that time of the month when you should be on your best behavior. It’s time to take care of business and attend to professional priorities. However, if you’ve been nursing resentment, today’s Moon-Mars opposition tends to pull up anger working under the surface of things. It might just help you finally deal with a problem area, but getting to this point can be disruptive if you’re not aware of what’s happening.Gemini
You see the value of preparation early today, dear Gemini, and your ambition is stirring. However, you could feel some restlessness. Venus has been moving through your partnership sector, warming up close relationships. However, its awkward aspect with Uranus today can leave you feeling a little caged in, but it’s a temporary feeling. Try to put worries about your past behind you to better enjoy the present. Still, energies today can trigger areas where you’ve been feeling frustrated or where you’ve been growing resentful. Differences in opinion may figure strongly now. Feeling overloaded or impatient can lead to mistakes if you rush things, making it best to rein in tendencies toward stubbornness. It may not be worth the conflict.Cancer
It’s best to pay close attention to how you feel in a group or with a friend today, dear Cancer, with a Venus-Uranus aspect in play. Decide whether your interactions are empowering and encouraging, or if they leave you feeling drained. However, today is not ideal for final decision-making–it’s better for ruminating. You might aim to keep yourself busy and absorbed in things you love doing. This way, you are not as vulnerable to the ups and downs of your social life and ready to embrace a greater sense of peace. The Moon’s move into your intimacy sector later today encourages a deeper focus on your feelings and desires. It can clash to some degree with your urge to take care of business. A focus on complicated emotions can interfere with your productivity when keeping things simple and straightforward tends to serve your practical purposes better.Leo
You could feel on the fence today, dear Leo. New attractions and desires can abound but may not settle in for the long term. Emotional outbursts, rebelliousness, or impulsiveness are tendencies now if you’re feeling stressed. Take a deep breath and try to tackle things one at a time, step by step. Goals related to health and work are in generally good favor early today. A plan for better health and habits can come together, but later today, the mood is less stable. There’s a strong inclination to take things very personally. Mars recently entered your sign, encouraging your independent, pioneering side, but the Moon stirs a strong need for companionship. While there are ways to satisfy both needs, getting to that balance may be challenging. Others can arouse defensiveness or combativeness in you. However, consider that they may be showing a side of yourself or your unmet needs through your interactions.Virgo
There can be some tension and indecision affecting your mood today, dear Virgo. With Venus in your sector of home and family these days, you crave more familiarity with love, pleasure, and pastimes. You can sometimes feel a little off-center if schedules change or plans are disrupted. Today, expect the unexpected and aim to be flexible. You may be unsure whether you want to play it safe or go out on a limb. Bringing peace, harmony, and beauty to your home environment can be a strong need, but finding a balance can be a worthwhile pursuit. Still, passions tend to rise as the day advances. You may become aware of a competitor or an obstacle in your path, and as much as you’d like to take care of business and get things in order, the things you haven’t done or unsettled matters can interfere.Libra
With today’s up and down energies, dear Libra, it may be best to take a step back to observe your interactions. However, avoid doing this to the point of detachment from the intimacy of your connections. If you read too much or dig too deeply, you can get yourself nto sticky territory. This can be revealing if you’re aware, but perhaps a little disruptive if you’re avoiding deeper issues. These days, verbal rapport and open lines of communication are especially vital to engage your heart. Later today, you may need to rely on others who are not necessarily seeing eye to eye with you, but interactions with others may end up revealing hidden desires. Sensitivity on a social level can lead to quick reactions that won’t fix things. Watch for tempers flaring and too-high expectations.Scorpio
With today’s Venus-Uranus transit, dear Scorpio, there could be a disconnect or some restlessness stirring. There can be a strong desire to spend on clothes, things, entertainment, or anything that makes you feel comfortable, secure, and pampered. Of course, it’s essential to consider the future if you do, as comfort in the present may not be worth a longer-term feeling of insecurity or worry over resources. Try to immerse yourself in things that you love doing rather than depend on things going as planned. While these days are good for relationships and personal magnetism, today, you may be feeling a little out of step, particularly if you are waiting or relying on others. Try not to dwell on feelings of being ignored. As the Moon opposes Mars, pay particular attention to anger that surfaces suddenly and seemingly from nowhere, as Mars in your solar fourth house can pull up all sorts of buried resentments, and you can learn a lot from them.Sagittarius
You gravitate to simple activities and pleasures early today, dear Sagittarius, as exercising moderation makes you feel good about yourself now. However, as the day advances, you could struggle between your seemingly at-odds needs for closeness and intimacy and your desire for independence. This can lead to mixed signals that throw others for a loop until you recognize that there are ways to combine the two needs. You could also feel these energies in terms of desires for unusual things, activities, and pleasures that are different or reflect your inner unrest and need for change. There could be some erratic behavior in a partner or love interest. Insecurities should dissipate dramatically once you get in touch with your heart, which can take a bit of time. Rushing through your tasks leads to mistakes and disagreements. It can be quite difficult to relax until you face your frustrations.Capricorn
With a Venus-Uranus transit today, dear Capricorn, avoid behaving erratically in your relationships. Instead, attempt to get to the root of any unrest stimulated now. You may be dealing with private matters of the heart, and should try not to make premature or rebellious decisions. People may surprise you or make changes now that can be disruptive, but nothing you can’t handle. In fact, there can be interesting detours that result from missteps. With Moon-Mars tension also in play, resentments you’ve been nursing towards others, whether about boundaries, respect, money, or power dynamics, may reach a boiling point. Getting to the point of compromise can be a little tricky, but it’s not out of reach.Aquarius
Early today, you can prefer to operate behind the scenes or take care of personal matters, dear Aquarius, with the Moon in the sign behind yours. The Moon moves into your sign later today, however, bringing out your desire to connect with the world around you after some contentment with laying low. However, moods can be up and down as the Moon opposes Mars. Because Mars is newly transiting your partnership sector, others may seem like instigators or could push their agendas. Even so, you have something to learn about yourself through current conflicts. If resentments have been building in a partnership or close friendship, they might emerge now, and you can get over this hump. Also, today, a Venus-Uranus transit can stir unrest, and perhaps some off-timing socially. It makes sense to try to get to the root of any unusual desires that come over you now, as they may simply be a symptom of the need for a small change in your relationships or patterns of relating.Pisces
You begin the day thoroughly enjoying your interactions, dear Pisces, but as the day advances, there’s some restlessness but also a need to take things easy. With a Moon-Mars opposition, there can be volatile feelings, and if so, this can be a symptom of being out of touch with actual needs and wants. You may meet resistance to your plans or become aware of a competitor. As much as you’d like to escape your duties right now, you also recognize that your work or tasks will be waiting for you when you return. Avoid overdoing either end of the spectrum. As well, a Venus-Uranus transit is in play, restlessness can be an issue, and erratic conversations or interesting news can pull you away from your center. However, they can also prompt a detour that’s educational.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
