Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With today’s Venus-Neptune square, dear Aries, resting and a flexible schedule are best. Deviations from the usual are in order, or else your mind will tend to wander. You may be a little misguided in your compassion with this transit happening in your sectors of faith. You might experience a minor letdown or become aware that something you were expecting might not come to pass. However, putting some illusions aside can be healthy as you make room for more realizable goals. If others are overstepping their bounds and asking too much of you, resolve to define and enforce boundaries going forward. Others’ opinions and beliefs could leave you feeling deflated and frustrated if they lack the understanding you have of a situation. There are better times for important financial transactions and clarity in love relationships. You are likely less productive than you’d like to be, but you may need a break!Taurus
Relationships can be tricky in spots today, dear Taurus. You may be feeling high one minute and low the next. The trick is to keep your expectations of others at the human level! Your ruler, Venus, forming a square with Neptune, can cloud your vision temporarily. This transit can also play with your mood, motivation, and drive. Areas of life that may be up in the air or unclear include friendships, boundaries in your relationships, work, and intimacy. Questions of who’s in your corner can come up, or there may be blurred boundaries with someone you care about. It may be best to reserve judgment and observe more closely as events unfold. The good news is that as you identify problem areas, you’re making room for new and improved goals and turning your focus to those things that matter the most. The day progresses with less confusion and more smoothness.Gemini
With today’s transits, you could face evasiveness in others, dear Gemini, which can be confusing. Instead, something is up in the air, or there can be frustrations with what’s left unsaid. A Venus-Neptune square may indicate a lack of general direction weighing on a relationship. The primary key to enjoying today involves letting go of too-high expectations of yourself, another person, or a relationship itself–it can be very freeing! After all, a slight letdown may send you on a detour that’s completely worth it. If you strive to enjoy the moment without borrowing from the future, you can have some fun today, particularly on a creative level. Some restlessness is possible, but as the day advances, it’s far easier to focus.Cancer
With today’s Venus-Neptune square, dear Cancer, wishful thinking can cloud your view temporarily, but it can also redirect you in interesting ways. At the very least, it can give you something to ponder. In truth, it may not be easy to make room for and enjoy your duties with dreams and fantasies filling your mind. If motivation levels are waning and restlessness takes over, you might quickly tire of the mundane or routine in your life. You might wonder where you stand on a matter, but there are more questions than answers temporarily. If you’re overcrowding your mind with unrealizable goals and they’re interfering with what you’re doing now, consider putting them behind you to make room for dreams that genuinely encourage and inspire you. Watch for having your blinders on and resolve to pay more attention to your needs for inspiration and imagination in the future. Happily, it’s far easier to go with the flow and enjoy yourself as the day advances.Leo
You could feel a little lost about what you want to do at times today, dear Leo. With today’s Venus-Neptune square clouding your vision temporarily, watch for a tendency to pick and choose which cues to see and which to overlook. There can be a veil over your eyes regarding your relationships, and perhaps some blurred boundaries or uncertain feelings. It isn’t easy to be objective with this transit in play. You may be attracted to what you can’t have or what’s just out of reach. Aim to explore different ways to enjoy yourself, but avoid pinning your hopes on speculative ventures or elusive people. Once you resolve to let go of unreasonable expectations, you can reach a far better emotional space. The day progresses with more consistency.Virgo
With the Moon in your solar sixth house much of today, dear Virgo, you’re especially aware of things that are just a little off. As well, events or feelings happening now can remind you of the need to draw boundaries. Venus forms a square to Neptune, and the desires of a significant other can be a mystery in a frustrating way. Or, you might pin your hopes on someone or something to the point you forget you’re the one in charge of making yourself happy. In truth, this transit makes it tricky to accept that happiness is found within and not outside of you. Emotions and affections can be hard to make sense of right now, so do your best to hold off on drawing conclusions. Aim to return to practical problems on a day when you’re more ruled by logic and reason than by complicated emotions and expectations. It can feel inconvenient to face reality about a person or situation right now, but it can save you a lot of time and energy in the long run.Libra
The Moon in your solar sector of joy much of the day is good energy for enjoyment, dear Libra. Still, there can be some discontent to manage. A Venus-Neptune square makes it challenging to see ahead of you. There’s a tendency to feed previously held beliefs about someone and, in the process, not honestly face reality. Save important decisions for a better day, or even later today, as you may be glossing over vital details. You may need to let things flow and trust in the process. Try to keep your emotional distance until you see things more clearly–there’s no need to make half-hearted commitments. Feeling a tad drained of energy can stem from wavering motivation and emotions. After all, wrestling with doubt or feelings of restlessness can be exhausting! As the day advances, you’ll find life feels more straightforward if you take things one step at a time.Scorpio
With today’s Venus-Neptune square, dear Scorpio, misunderstandings are more likely than usual. You may need to work harder to gain understanding or let go of the need to express yourself temporarily. This transit can certainly be confusing, but it’s temporary, and the disorientation might ultimately lead to enlightenment. Situations may be up in the air, or others may be vague and give off confusing signals. You may not feel close enough to someone or your heart, and feeling that you’re not on solid ground with others can leave you listless. While you’re normally highly perceptive, wishful thinking can cloud your vision during this transit. It may convince you that borrowing from the future is a good idea! Tap into your empathy and compassion, but avoid over-idealizing someone, something, or a situation.Sagittarius
Emotions can be a little tricky today, dear Sagittarius. Wishful thinking is acceptable if it inspires you or motivates you to go after what you want. However, if it only serves to leave you wanting, then resolve to let it go and get on with your day. Confusion comes from a Venus-Neptune square. Distractions could create a bit of chaos in the first half of the day, but while it’s hard to communicate your desires temporarily, it’s best not to let others guess them, as it can lead to even more frustration. Focusing on realizable goals and stopping to appreciate what’s already in place will bring the most satisfaction. Even so, wistful feelings remind you to feed your needs for more inspired living. As the day advances, you prefer to pour your energy into things that genuinely fulfill you.Capricorn
Imagination takes on more power and influence than usual with today’s Venus-Neptune square, dear Capricorn. If you use it for relaxing or creative activities, then you benefit. However, the tendency with this aspect can be to pin your hopes on something unlikely to transpire. Wishful thinking can certainly alert you to areas where you can make improvements. However, you should watch for making half-hearted commitments or statements as moods are changeable, and your vision may be a bit off temporarily. Aim to get in touch with your actual needs rather than chase whims. Feelings of discontent or longing can be vague, and whims might mask what you are truly missing. Keeping expectations of yourself, others, relationships, and situations reasonable can protect you from disappointment, but don’t shield yourself. It may be that you need to feel vulnerable to understand your deeper needs.Aquarius
The Moon spends much of the day in your sign, dear Aquarius, and you seek clarity and involvement. However, today’s Venus-Neptune square can make it hard to objectively assess the value of people and things. The tendency may be to chase a pipe dream or invest your emotions, energy, or money into something that won’t truly satisfy you. Instead, a slight disappointment with a friend occurs due to an error of omission or wires crossing. It may be best to put off spending and lending just for now. If a plan or goal seems less likely, it might only need some refinements. However, if it’s genuinely not serving you well, make room for one that does! Uncertainty doesn’t always feel great, but letting go of a burning need to define things or to be “in the know” can be especially helpful.Pisces
With today’s Venus-Neptune square, dear Pisces, feelings, needs, and desires can be complicated. Watch for a tendency to look outside of yourself for something you imagine will make you happier or more fulfilled. In truth, this can be a wild goose chase and might even lead to more profound feelings of discontent. Aim to look within, get in better touch with what may be missing from your life, and then make plans to work on it. Avoid band-aid fixes in your relationships if it means misleading yourself or others. Procrastinating and putting certain things off can end up costing you more. Keep an eye out for an inclination to misjudge the value of something today. The Moon spends most of the day in your private solar twelfth house, pointing to the need for reflection before entering your sign late today.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
