Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Aries, encouraging your sociable side or your need for belonging to something greater than yourself. You seek greater freedom and self-expression today despite a general need for more intimacy and closeness as the Sun transits your solar eighth house. You can crave different activities or refreshing situations. You are at your best when others give you a little leeway today or if there’s room to add inventiveness and diversity to your tasks. You’re craving some detachment today. Consider that you might grant someone their freedom but then worry about it if they take it. Happily, however, this can be a good day for making progress in key areas of your life. Transits inspire new ideas that you’re enthusiastic about. While there may be some confusion about the depth of a relationship now, you’re choosing to see things in a good light.Taurus
You’re at your best taking care of business today, dear Taurus, or focusing on setting and reaching your goals. With the Moon at the top of your solar chart all day, meeting your responsibilities without delay can help protect you from emotional ups and downs. Decision-making isn’t at its peak, however, as one part of you wants to “know all” and discover the many angles of a situation. There can also be a minor struggle with wanting to take the lead or collaborate with someone close to you. You’re more sensitive to people’s evaluations of you today. Do what you can not to scatter your energies. Sometimes, compromises are harder to reach than compartmentalizing, and today may require the latter. Even so, conversations can be stimulating, and someone’s talents or observations can benefit you now.Gemini
Today’s energies position you well to connect with others and enjoy refreshing activities, dear Gemini, particularly on a mental level. The Moon spends the day in your sector of the higher mind and spirit, inspiring you to reach new heights. The desire for just a little more from a relationship or project is with you. Venturing beyond your routine is attractive. You may be seeking a higher level of freedom and well-being, and with the Moon’s harmonious connections with Mercury and the Node, this may very well be possible. Conversations can be rewarding. Nevertheless, the Sun encourages a more detail-oriented, practical focus these days, and you may briefly feel torn between activities. Boredom with the usual routine can be in the spotlight! As divided as you may be about work and play, you’re in a great position to think up new ideas and possibilities. As well, it could be that you find more meaning in your work or duties.Cancer
You can enjoy friendly and fair communications today, dear Cancer. Design work can fare particularly well, as you are especially able to zero in on the right patterns and details to understand a project or problem. The Moon spends all day in your sector of intimacy and shared resources, and you can find research or a special focus on a particular person or pursuit highly attractive. You’re looking for more meaningful or profound connections and experiences with this transit. Even so, the Sun is encouraging you to let your hair down and enjoy yourself in lighter ways, which can stir up a bit of discontent as the day advances. Ideally, you connect with and understand your needs and ambitions better through discontent.Leo
The Moon spends all day in your sector of balance, partnership, and compromise, dear Leo. Having company or letting in some feedback (in a balanced way) helps you get in better touch with your feelings and ideas right now. The Moon in the sign opposite yours doesn’t help with decisiveness, but it does offer you the ability to see and appreciate both sides of a story. Finding a balance can’t be forced, but you can certainly aspire towards it, and peace-making can be rewarding now. There can be satisfying conversations about creative or entertainment interests. Later today and into tomorrow, you are aware that you need to make changes, but you could be struggling with a desire to keep things as they are or were. You’ve been craving more peace and quiet these days, and perhaps wanting to do things your own way. A sudden need for companionship can create a bit of a clash or conundrum. Once past this, you’ll find ways to settle your mind.Virgo
With today’s Moon highlighting your routine affairs, dear Virgo, it can be a good time to enjoy taking care of loose ends. It’s a strong time for ideas for improved family and home life or for conversations with loved ones. It seems more appropriate to focus on the details than the bigger picture today, such that refining plans can be right up your alley now. Still, your personal interests have been a strong draw these days, and you can end up juggling too much today if you don’t aim for moderation and compromise. If you scatter your energies, it becomes all too easy to get worked up over minor nuisances. Aim to allow inner tension to motivate you to make essential changes.Libra
Good energy is with you today for planning, seeing patterns, and developing ingenious methods, dear Libra, particularly related to money and domestic affairs. The Moon spends the day in your entertainment sector, stirring the desire to unwind. Good advice may be circulating, and you can feel increasingly enthused about what you’re doing and where you’re heading. Butu while your people instincts are strong today, practicality is not as strong as the day advances and we move toward a Venus-Neptune square. Being flexible and keeping your options open can help you sometimes, but it can also leave you feeling restless or divided. Emotional and physical energies may be mismatched temporarily, and it’s best to avoid taking on too much.Scorpio
With the Moon in your solar fourth house all day, dear Scorpio, you take a special interest in your domestic and personal life today. You’re bringing more emotional color to the ordinary elements of your personal environment. Doing something useful around the home can also fill an emotional need now. Nevertheless, there can be inner disputes or conflicts that can lead to a sense of disorganization. Your need for time to relax and unwind is strong with this Moon transit, but it doesn’t fully vibe with your drive for more activity and exploration that’s been strong since the Sun has been in your sign. While you should do your best to avoid extra strain, try to take care of your diverse needs so you don’t neglect something altogether. At the same time, avoid taking on too much.Sagittarius
The urge to reach out, learn, share, and connect is stronger today, dear Sagittarius, due to the Moon’s transit of your communication sector all day. Conversations and thoughts today can be particularly notable and useful. The pieces of a puzzle come together on a mental level today. Pouring more of your energy into personal interests and projects can be pleasant and a strong draw. You are more impressed by others’ respect and honesty than praise or niceties. But while there can be nice outlets for expressing yourself today, you are unlikely to commit to any one feeling. Ideas can be significant and compelling, but it can be difficult to decide on something to focus on with your conflicting emotions and a somewhat chaotic atmosphere around you as a result. It’s probably best to embrace the idea of putting out feelers rather than focus too strictly on any one particular thing, project, or idea.Capricorn
Getting a handle on practical matters seems more intuitive and natural today than usual, dear Capricorn, as the Moon transits your solar second house all day. You enjoy the process of looking for solutions almost as much as arriving at them. Emotions tend to settle in, and physical pleasures and comfort are incredibly appealing and appropriate now. It’s a good time to see what needs improving and assess areas of waste in your life. Still, as the day advances, whether to stick with the familiar or make changes can become an issue. Decisions are not easy to come by, and you may need to let go of overthinking things temporarily if thinking becomes counterproductive. Transits can pull up inner conflicts. Be gentle with yourself and your pursuits for the best results now.Aquarius
The Moon in your sign today inclines you to go your own way in many areas, dear Aquarius, but you maintain a solid desire to connect. In fact, early today, brainstorming can work wonderfully. You want your feelings to be acknowledged with current transits. There is good energy for back-and-forths with colleagues or acquaintances. Later today, you can experience a bit of frustration with a responsibility or someone in a position of authority. While it’s a strong day for self-motivation, it’s not an ideal time, in general, for new beginnings due to inner conflicts. The upcoming First Quarter Moon presents the challenge of personal needs demanding some attention, but also the determination to make things work. Feeling organized is the key to feeling on top of things today.Pisces
The Moon spends today in your solar sector of privacy, natural endings, and downtime, dear Pisces. If you can spend some time free of interference to do your own thing, you can benefit significantly from the process. However, you may not entirely escape distractions, as people tend to seek you out for answers or commitments you don’t feel quite ready to give right now. Ideally, you find ways to escape some of the elements of your usual routine. Even when among others you tend to have a rather retiring quality to you today, and it’s good for you at this point in the lunar month. A conversation on your own terms about goals and the future can be warming. The need to go within can certainly clash with a concurrent theme of exploration and experimentation that’s with you these days so that you can wrestle with whether to stick with what you know or push out of your comfort zone. Aim to honor your need for time for emotional regeneration.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
