Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon moves into your sign today, dear Aries, and you’re in the spotlight. Differences and problem areas are in strong focus, however, and it may take work to see around them due to a Moon-Mars opposition. Today’s Mars-Saturn influence can also highlight limits and realities. A lesson to slow down may take the form of a delay or obstacle in your path, and it can be frustrating. With this transit active, it’s better to think about your next move than to make it! With Saturn in your solar twelfth house, blockages can be about focusing on past mistakes or missed opportunities. It’s also possible that guilt emerges about your current goals, desires, or chosen course of action. Aim to discern between gut instincts and fear–you need to connect with your intuition to follow it. The best strategy is to work hard at what needs doing and draw upon patience. The edits you make now can save you later! Fortunately, a conversation or a special connection with a friend can help you gain perspective.Taurus
The Moon moves into the sign behind yours, dear Taurus, encouraging you to take a step back from competitive or demanding situations. It’s best to aim for a bit of a detox or break from the usual with this transit. You could nevertheless feel torn with the Moon’s opposition to Mars, but getting in touch with your true needs and wants should probably be a priority. Remind yourself that you need some breathing room. Mars in your work and health sector often pumps you up for getting things done, and it’s helpful. But Mars meets a grumpy Saturn today, and a hurdle may appear that you need to clear before pushing forward. It’s not easy to express yourself with confidence or smoothness under this brief transit. Make adjustments and refinements rather than concrete decisions for best results. Wait for a better climate to pursue those things most dear to your heart. Being especially vigilant with contracts, health, and work matters is a good idea.Gemini
The Moon moves into your social sector, dear Gemini, and you seek some relaxed and easygoing activities. Still, with Mars opposite the Moon and quincunx Saturn, you could encounter resistance. There can be some see-sawing energy or motivation and feelings of unrest, and it would be wise to sort out frustrations. You may vacillate between wanting to do something independently and wanting others’ involvement. If you’re feeling some inner chaos, it’s probably better not to take on too much in the outside world. Take your time coming to conclusions, as today’s energies tend to confound or frustrate you in spots. Still, the adjustments you make now can lead to a stronger position. Patience serves you best since obstacles or restrictions, likely related to your responsibilities, career, or superiors, can present themselves and seemingly slow you down. Arguments entered into today tend to reach stalemates or leave very little room for growth. Sticking with what you do well can be helpful now.Cancer
The Moon heads into your responsibility sector, dear Cancer, putting you in a productive, goal-oriented frame of mind today and tomorrow. However, a Moon-Mars opposition can trigger frustrations working under the surface of things. Ideally, it helps you deal with a problem area, but watch for doing so impatiently. The current transit of Mars in your chart encourages a focus on your personal life, attention to safety and comfort, and a desire for more familiarity and predictability. But Mars aggravated today highlights the need to attend to outside responsibilities and your attention to boosting your skills or learning something useful. At first glance, you may not see a way to strike a compromise between your divergent drives. Due to this divided feeling today, it’s not an ideal time for confident decision-making. Aim to make small changes, improvements, adjustments, and edits instead.Leo
With the Moon’s move into your solar ninth house today, dear Leo, you want to expand your experiences or your mind. A Moon-Mars opposition today can find you getting worked up with a tense environment, so aim to focus and center yourself as much as possible. Ideas are exciting, and you could make a connection that helps you put ideas into action. Still, it’s wise to follow the rules just for now, as we can be a little off in our judgment. A Mars-Saturn aspect cuts spontaneity and can lead to second-guessing or thinking too hard before making a move. It’s not an ideal time for important interviews or launches, so if there is some uncertainty, it’s better to wait for another day. Relationship challenges can interfere with productivity, or there can be problems gaining understanding. If hesitancy or doubt regarding a particular project or endeavor strikes you now, which is likely, aim to ride things out and adopt a “wait and see” attitude for the time being. You may only need a little more time to get things right.Virgo
With the Moon’s move into your sector of shared resources, you’re more observant than usual, seeing layers of situations that escaped your notice in the past, dear Virgo. You crave a deeper approach or a feeling of connection. Transits today tend to inflame money, business, or ownership matters, and focusing on complicated emotions can interfere with productivity. Today’s Mars-Saturn influence encourages you to slow down, although this may come in the form of a small life lesson or delay. The tendency may be to try to push something forward, but if so, you’re likely to meet with resistance or blocks. With Mars currently transiting your money and resources sector, this may relate to a particular purchase, business move, or money matter. Alternatively, someone’s disapproval or stubbornness may be the issue, blocking your next step or cutting the fun. If you’ve misjudged something in the past, it may come to light now, and an adjustment is necessary. The minor changes you make now can make all the difference later, so keep that in mind.Libra
The Moon heads into your opposite sign today, dear Libra, prompting you to seek more balance and moderation in your life. Your need for companionship is in the spotlight. Still, Mars continues to transit your sign, encouraging your independent, pioneering side. Others might seem to arouse defensiveness in you today, but they may also show a side of yourself or your unmet needs through your interactions. Today’s energies favor adjustments and refinements over bold moves. An awkward Mars-Saturn transit can break the spontaneity temporarily. Ideally, any slowdowns or delays encountered now alert you to problem areas. The adjustments you make due to these obstacles work in your favor. It’s a brief period of starts and stops (mostly stops) that lead to second-guessing plans or next moves. Try not to waste too much time on anger or resentment today–pay it some mind since it’s helpful to acknowledge, but avoid dwelling.Scorpio
The Moon moves into your sector of work and routines, dear Scorpio, highlighting your daily affairs and desire to be helpful. While it can be a good period of the lunar month for getting your life straightened out in small but important ways, you can feel pressure or tension that interferes. You don’t have to ignore your motivation to set things right, but it’s a good idea to do what you can to pace yourself. Further, today’s Mars-Saturn quincunx is a minor, somewhat annoying aspect that penalizes impatience and rewards work on making adjustments and edits. Bold moves should wait for a better time! With Mars currently transiting your privacy sector, buried anger can emerge in unexpected ways and moments. Today, you may feel some disapproval or blocks coming from the outside if you attempt to make a move, and this can frustrate you. Your responsibilities might get in the way of what you want to do. It may be better to spend more time making sense of what you want before sharing your desires or attempting to assert yourself.Sagittarius
The Moon’s move into your creative sector brings more light to your personality, dear Sagittarius. Still, sensitivity on a social level can lead to quick reactions, which can heat things up, due to a Moon-Mars opposition and a Mars-Saturn aspect. Timing can be off temporarily, primarily due to an interrupted flow of inspiration and motivation. You can experience a strong desire to pursue social activities, which can contrast with a simultaneous need to attend to a personal matter or responsibility. If your personal or home life is getting in the way of your genuine need for diversifying, experimenting, and enjoying yourself, then this is a time for recognizing the need to balance things out. Delays or missteps encountered now can be helpful in the long run if they prompt some necessary edits, even if they’re deflating temporarily. Try to welcome a break from pushing ahead.Capricorn
Today’s Mars-Saturn influence can throw a small wrench in a plan, dear Capricorn, and a Moon-Mars opposition can also create some tension. The universe might point out a flaw or reality that temporarily slows you down. Ideally, it’s only about making minor adjustments and then getting things back on track. As exciting as a current project or endeavor may be, slowing down to get something right can’t hurt, and this may be precisely the time to make such a save. Enthusiasm can be up and down now, but the swinging should level out later today. Keeping your head down, doing what you do best, or fulfilling your duties may be the best bet under this influence. This way, you can return to what you want to do faster. If personal interests are getting in the way of work, this is a time for recognizing the need for a better balance.Aquarius
With today’s Mars-Saturn influence, it may be best to take things easy and avoid starting all-new projects or initiatives, dear Aquarius. While the Moon moves into your communications sector, encouraging your desire to connect and learn, overthinking things can be frustrating if you aren’t getting anywhere. You might wrestle with whether to pursue your desires or keep things practical. It’s probably best to avoid making substantial commitments and decisions temporarily, particularly related to travel, education, publishing, or legal matters. Dealing with financial realities or fear of change can be in focus now, as much as you have your sights on something new and exotic. With today’s energies, it’s best not to push too hard if you’re sensing resistance. Instead, let things unfold naturally.Pisces
While the Moon’s move into your steady solar second house inclines you to seek out comfort today, there can be some emotional see-sawing, dear Pisces. Mars, currently transiting your intimacy sector, opposes the Moon and forms an awkward angle with Saturn, slowing you down to catch your errors. Still, it can be disappointing or feel unnecessary at the moment! Someone in your life may seem too demanding or a tad irresponsible today. It’s challenging to read a person or a situation at the moment. Alternatively, each time you express a desire or take a course of action, you seem to meet an obstacle, or someone misunderstands you. For best results, do your best to map out your next move rather than react too quickly to limitations.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
