Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Being adaptable is the best strategy for you today, dear Aries. With Mercury opposite Uranus today, people may communicate but not necessarily listen, or they can be too quick to interrupt you. Entertaining unusual ideas and thinking outside the box work best, but hunches may not lead you in the right direction, so take your time with new thoughts and observations. Conversations or news today can pull up tricky areas involving sharing, such as with money or responsibilities, and it may take work to relax. Avoid impatiently handling matters, as mistakes are easier to make this way. Oversee your money because this is not the time to be rash. With Uranus heavy and challenging, avoid giving in to urges to rebel or jump ship. Aim to deal with interrupted plans, conflicts, or opposition to ideas with some detachment. Today’s energies are good for getting many different things done, but not necessarily for concentrated efforts.Taurus
It can be too easy to stir up some opposition with what you communicate today, dear Taurus, with Mercury opposing Uranus in your sign. It may be best to feed a restless spirit with a varied routine, conversation, or knowledge. Mistakes that occur now are likely due to impatience and a lack of foresight. While your ideas can be exciting and brilliant, there can be problems relaying your message temporarily. It’s also possible that news arrives that changes your perspective. Also, there can be clashes with others regarding views and opinions. Nevertheless, your responses to the opposition may surprise you and jumpstart your thinking, ultimately redirecting you in positive ways. Aim to be versatile today since there are plenty of distractions and changes in plans are likely. It’s best to learn from your interactions, even if they are frustrating! However, some people may be picking fights just because they don’t know what to do with themselves, and it’s wise to pass on this kind of situation.Gemini
You may be divided on how much intensity you want from your activities or interactions today, dear Gemini. It’s not a day when you can expect the usual routine and everything to go as planned with Mercury opposite Uranus. A surprising event or memory can grab your attention. Thinking outside the box is in favor, but people can go too far with it under the influence of this transit. It may be best to steer clear of touchy subjects and topics of conversation–it’s a better time to communicate about technical matters than to talk about sensitive matters, as you tend to be more factual and terse temporarily. You may indeed be thinking in unique and perhaps inspired ways, but distractions are likely, so take notes rather than lock things down. Watch for absent-mindedness in some areas and mental overdrive in others! New ideas and discoveries are possible personally or emotionally, and it’s easier to approach them calmly later today.Cancer
With today’s Moon, you’re inclined to take things easy and avoid jumping into something new, dear Cancer. However, impulsive energy is with you as Mercury opposes Uranus. People challenge ideas more than open their minds to them today. You may want to choose another day to state your case. Both minds and plans can be scattered, making it difficult to follow or concentrate and focus on a mental level. Ideally, if there is a change of plans now, it leads you to a pleasant detour. Nevertheless, communication may be abrupt, and tension can lead to errors. Impatience may trip you up, but you can tame this tendency with some effort. Watch for poorly thought-out observations or too-quick communications. You can learn from differences or get a stronger sense of your opinion through interactions. Later today, you might express more compassion towards others, which can catch on nicely.Leo
It may not be easy to concentrate or get a message across at times today, dear Leo. Mercury opposes Uranus, potentially producing some distractions, or you are less immune to the usual ones. Controversy can create stress, or restlessness might lead you in the wrong direction, so try your best to muster up patience. Watch for impatience or too-quick decisions under this transit. Pushing a new idea may not have desirable results. A change of mental scenery can help refresh you, however. Consider that changes in plans or opposition might ultimately lead to something better, helping to clarify your views on a matter. Different perspectives can be frustrating or surprising, but they can also be helpful learning experiences!Virgo
With today’s Mercury-Uranus opposition, dear Virgo, it’s best to watch for impulsive communication. A situation may hijack your attention, bringing a strong surprise element to the day. Pressures on you may be more potent than usual, and communications may be terse, abrupt, or catch you off guard. News coming in can change your perspective, something communicated has you feeling off your game, or there can be disruptions to your schedule. While possibly frustrating, events now can change your mind in meaningful or valuable ways. You might arrive at a better understanding of a situation or your own mind, for example. Your cooperative, helpful nature shines through later today, and it becomes far easier to process new ideas than it was through the day.Libra
Today’s Mercury-Uranus opposition can indicate rushed decisions and choices, dear Libra, or you may feel pushed and prodded. A chaotic schedule can lead to very little time or patience to sort things out. With money and valuables, avoid a slapdash approach, as there can be a tendency to miss important details. There could be some worry about sources of income, and if your mind is disorganized, these concerns can take on too much power. Aim to concentrate on the steps you need to take to make you feel more secure. While tensions are likely, you may come to a whole new perspective on a business or money matter through today’s thoughts or communications. There can be friction and conflict involved, but your next step is more straightforward if you can keep a cool head. You need to make some room for refreshing activities and natural discoveries.Scorpio
Mercury in your sign opposes Uranus today, dear Scorpio, and you may not see eye to eye with others. Or, you might face some opposition to your commentary or plans. If people are unreliable today, you might resolve to focus on yourself for now. This way, you won’t feel at someone’s mercy, leaving yourself open to more frustration than necessary. It may be that an unexpected issue hijacks your day, and it can be difficult to accomplish much else. However, whatever confrontations that occur can bring you to a greater understanding of where you stand and what you truly want. Consider that some opposition or challenge could help clarify your ideas or a matter in your relationship. Today’s energies can challenge you to confront and manage emerging issues that were buried, swept under the carpet, or otherwise hidden. As the day advances, however, life feels less blocked or scattered.Sagittarius
It’s not easy to see eye to eye with others at times today, dear Sagittarius, with Mercury opposing Uranus. Instead, communication can be a little self-centered and not very sensitive. Some lack of organization can get in the way of your pursuits, and you may need to adjust to interruptions and distractions. Staying on top of your routines or work can also be complicated. In truth, you can be more sensitive to things that feel dull or meaningless, which can stir some restlessness. Aim to learn from any confrontations that arise. Or, if the tension is internalized, take steps to get a little more order into your life when you have the time. Fortunately, it becomes far easier to decompress and unwind later today.Capricorn
Today’s Mercury-Uranus opposition can distract you or accelerate your thinking temporarily, dear Capricorn. Disorganization can lead to missed opportunities, but any disagreements occurring now can help you see things from a new perspective. If you free your mind, you can get to some fascinating, although perhaps off-the-wall, epiphanies. Opposing views can be stronger than usual, but unusual and exciting insights can emerge from communications, news, or further thinking. Expect interruptions to plans and schedules or a social disagreement with this transit in play, but shaking things up just a little can take you in interesting new directions. Tension is likely, making it best to ground yourself and reduce stress if it’s not helping you or spurring you on in positive ways.Aquarius
Transits today can open your eyes to a matter, dear Aquarius, but there can be some tension to navigate. Mental disconnects or contrariness are likely as Mercury opposes Uranus, your ruling planet. A blunt approach can sting, but holding back may be interpreted as indifference. Plans may be a little premature, so avoid putting them into action just yet. Differences in attitudes or opinions are not always signs of a deeper problem, which may not be easy to see today. In fact, there can be much to learn from your interactions. There are times when clashes lead to important realizations, and this may be the case now. If you take a step back and observe what results from a stand-off, you might arrive at an exciting conclusion. A change of plans may work in your favor or lead to a pleasant detour.Pisces
Today’s Mercury-Uranus transit could produce some mental tension or opposition, dear Pisces. Temporarily, it can be a challenge to say the right thing at the right time. You could be dealing with a wildcard. People around you can be temperamental, or they’re quick to contradict you, and you prefer a more sensitive approach. Due to today’s impulsive energies, it’s wise to be protective of information or feelings just for now. If people aren’t catching on to your point of view, it’s best not to take it to heart. Ideally, a clash stirs up greater understanding, helping you get in touch with what you truly believe and desire. However, some tension is likely before you get to that more enlightened place. The focus should be on letting go and releasing rather than building up more frustrations.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
