Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Early today, dear Aries, you can be more sensitive to slights. With an awkward angle between Venus and Saturn, it’s best not to take poor timing or a bit of emotional distance to heart. Learn to recognize guilt even if it is cleverly disguised! There may be an imminent responsibility that needs your attention. It’s better to spell your worries out for yourself since leaving them vague can give them more power. As the day advances, things feel far more straightforward. In fact, you can be driven to put an idea into action or to pursue a line of thought, particularly to family, home, health, and work. Organizing or reorganizing can figure strongly as more information or clarity comes in. You find it easier to get through things quickly and efficiently, perhaps because you’re very decided and certain.Taurus
Early today, you may need to deal with some disapproval or problems with overload and time restrictions, dear Taurus. However, avoid letting it bring you down, as disconnects and indecision are temporary and possibly instructive. In fact, through them, you might connect with a valid need. The day advances with more confidence. You seem able to put a creative spin on whatever you’re doing, and decisions tend to be quick but practical. You’re inclined to say it like it is with Mercury and Mars in harmony, and for the most part, it’s going over well. Feeling more enthusiasm for your ideas or pursuits can be part of the picture.Gemini
Early today, there can be a conflict between your indulgent and responsible sides, dear Gemini, as Venus and Saturn form an awkward angle. Unfortunately, neither come out a clear winner! Your need for affection is stronger than usual, which can be at the root of your desire to pamper yourself or do something different. However, the demands of the outside world are high. Strive for balance rather than throwing yourself into one pursuit while neglecting the other. You can feel on fire with passion and creative energy, followed by frustration or blockage with this transit in play. However, the day advances with far more straightforward energy. You’re inclined to assert yourself in healthy ways and are willing to take the lead to get things done while being conscious of others’ input and needs. It’s a good time to solve problems at home or with business.Cancer
Early today, you can be rather sensitive to how others receive you, dear Cancer. Passions are strong, but love or fulfillment is complicated, especially because you require some self-nurturing. As strong as your desire to cocoon and enjoy familiar faces and places is, outside concerns tend to weigh on your mind. Attempt to find a satisfying and successful balance between responsibility and leisure for the best results. Decision-making improves tremendously as the day advances. It can be a time to be inspired by a deeper connection to a person or project, private matter, or family connection. It may be something you say or do that magnetizes opportunities to you. You’re quick to put a plan into action and not inclined to mull things over very much, and this feels good.Leo
Energies early today point to some trickiness with decisions or agreements, dear Leo. Your excitement may be met with indifference, for example, but you probably shouldn’t take any coolness now to heart. It is probably due to poor timing. Insecurities may lead to missed connections, and ambiguities about the future can weigh on enjoying the present. Some confusion can surround goals, instructions, and conversations now. Your best bet is to wait it out, but be productive as you wait! There’s no need to allow uncertainty to hijack your morning. As the day advances, a Mercury-Mars transit brings far more naturally straightforward energy to your world. You can be especially motivated regarding pet projects, ideas, and friendships. It’s a good time to gain new information through study and observation. You can more easily focus your mind and prioritize.Virgo
Early today, you’re more inclined to worry about limited resources, dear Virgo, or disapproval is at the back of your mind. Try not to let these things play with your head, but if you’re uncertain, it may be best to spend more time with decision-making. However, the day advances with far more clarity. In fact, information can emerge that clears up a matter that was recently up in the air. Mentally and emotionally, you’re resilient and quick to bounce back. You’ll find making a friend or enjoying a current friendship relatively straightforward. You might lend someone a hand or act upon an idea, and the satisfaction of putting things into motion is something you can look forward to.Libra
You’re inclined to share your ideas, reach out, and connect today, dear Libra. You want to branch out, and you seem to be happiest today with a little variety. Early today, however, you could feel torn between pampering or indulging yourself and wanting to put things in order and set things straight. As much as you’d like to, it’s not easy to disregard flaws and responsibilities. As the day advances, you’re poised to get a lot done. You could uncover information that helps you advance and feel considerably more optimistic and ready for action. As quickly as the day may demand your attention, taking time to center yourself will help you make the most of things.Scorpio
Early today, people may be wrapped up in their problems and are not readily intuiting your needs, dear Scorpio. You could be excited about a project but unsure how much energy or enthusiasm you have for it in the longer term. Some feelings of discontent with your social life or a sense of being stuck creatively are temporary. If you’re feeling let down, aim to identify areas of your life you may be neglecting. The day advances with increasingly more enthusiasm. It can be a time to express yourself with confidence and verve, in fact. You can be a little more assertive than usual, and it’s effective. Problem-solving or active involvement with a friend or group can be part of the picture. The desire to talk, share your experiences, and open up is with you.Sagittarius
You may feel a little divided between relationships and responsibilities early today, dear Sagittarius. There can be ups and downs, but try not to take them to heart. Feeling torn between the desire for togetherness and affection and the need for some emotional space is temporary. Even if there’s some hesitation or a missed opportunity, a small break can work in your favor in the long run. As the day advances, energy levels improve, and for the most part, there are fewer obstacles in your way. You have the stamina and energy to accomplish much. There is a focus on treating one another fairly and on straightforward communication. You have x-ray vision for business or your longer-term plans and strategies. You prefer not to waste time on roundabout conversations.Capricorn
Fears or insecurities can surface today, dear Capricorn, and you may need to tame the tendency to expect negative responses from others. The timing could be off temporarily, with confidence wavering. You might end up deliberating over a response for far longer than is good for you. Watch for overstraining, but don’t let yourself agree to something until you have all the information you need. But while there can be complicated energies early today, the day advances with exceptional ease, especially with thinking and communicating. Energies later today stir up productive mental energy. You’re motivated to pursue a learning endeavor or further a mental interest. Conversations with a partner or special friend can be helpful, encouraging, and motivating. You attract strong, competent, and loyal friends to you now. This is a time for putting ideas into action, sharing thoughts and beliefs, and strengthening alliances through communication.Aquarius
Early today, there can be some wavering or shaky confidence, dear Aquarius, but it’s temporary. Whether to express yourself or keep to yourself can be in question. While you’d prefer things are clear, certain, and definite, energies this morning are ambiguous at best. However, the day advances with these very qualities! In fact, a Mercury-Mars transit favors a straightforward approach. It’s a great time to support through practical help. Instead, you could be on the receiving end of this kind of aid. It’s also a vital time for work and research, as you can feel more motivated than usual to get answers! You might become more aware of the need to take charge of health and fitness matters, or your experiences boost your motivation to get your life on track.Pisces
Today shapes up to be good for attending to some of your duties, dear Pisces. However, there can be ups and downs early today. Consider that you might be at peace with others but at war with yourself if you make compromises that don’t feel entirely right. Watch for emotional defensiveness, although if you need some time to yourself, it’s best not to ignore the need since self-protectiveness is a good thing in moderation. As the day advances, transits support tackling difficult problems or taking on a mental challenge. You are very willing to act on your ideas, and although you’re self-motivated now, a partner or special someone can be encouraging as well, and this is much appreciated! You’re quick to get to the point.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign. If you don’t know your Ascendant sign (and you know your birth time), you can look it up here.
