Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
On this day before a New Moon, dear Aries, it’s a good time to detox, rest, and reflect. While it’s a time for sticking with familiar activities, it’s important to let your mind go, imagine, and dream as Mercury harmonizes with Neptune. It’s a good day for processing and understanding recent events. Forgiving someone can do wonders for your own emotional health. You’re picking up more information than usual through observation and looking for layers and levels to a problem or situation. Today is good for looking at ideas and interactions differently, perhaps with more compassion or imagination. Your thinking is creative, particularly concerning matters of the past, intimate relationships, and your inner workings. You may be able to see a different level of someone you care about or gain a better understanding of your own motivations.
