Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon spends the day in your sector of creativity, joy, and romance, dear Aries, and you more readily find the inspiration to share your ideas and creations. While the focus is on play and leisure with this transit, a Sun-Pluto transit today brings good energy to improve your work and public image or reputation. You can be especially determined to make progress in your work or with health programs and routines. While it’s not an ideal time to start a brand new program, it’s strong for making plans to do so. The New Moon on the 17th will help fuel new beginnings. Efforts to organize, tidy, edit, review, and reform or reuse are all favored today and in the meantime. This is not the ideal time to take on more, but is excellent for improving, restoring, and tweaking work in progress. Plans and strategies are attractive right now. While much of the time you enjoy living life spontaneously, right now, you’d do well to observe, plan, and design.Taurus
With the Moon in your home and family sector all day, you gravitate toward quiet, easy-going activities, dear Taurus. You may very well want to avoid complications. However, today’s Sun-Pluto trine can serve as a call to action, or it can put you in the position to take the lead and support someone on a moral or intellectual level. Your desire to grow is strong and motivating. You instinctively recognize that you won’t have learning opportunities if you stick only with what’s familiar. You can be determined to connect more deeply with personal interests, hobbies, and possibly even a person. People or ideas emerging now have you looking at the world in new and exciting ways. Recycling efforts can be rewarding, whether you’re editing a project already in progress or looking through your current things and finding new value in what you find. You are drawn to purposeful activities today, and you can feel more passionately about your interests, hobbies, or romantic life.Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Gemini, encouraging you to seek extra mental stimulation and variety. Even so, you’re also in a good position to take action on an emotional matter. You might find special meaning in the connections you make, even the smallest ones. You are more courageous about facing the deeper meaning of things or getting to the heart of problems right now due to a Sun-Pluto trine. You are ready to tackle a problem from the root today, and you’re looking for the hidden message or agenda in whatever’s going on around you. You are more confident in your decisions today, and you gravitate toward projects and activities that are meaningful and long-lasting.Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your resources sector, dear Cancer, and you’re inclined to want to settle in, get comfortable, and keep things simple. Even so, this is a particularly good time for interacting with others. You might connect with people and information that helps you get closer to your goals. Recognizing problem areas more clearly or facing truths can lead to a restructuring of activities and notable improvements to your projects. Learning endeavors, financial activities, and creative pursuits can benefit. Budgeting, revising, reorganizing, and simplifying are all highly favored today and this week. You may be reconstructing old ideas or fixing and renewing communications equipment. Your relationships might also benefit from this energy for renovation. Constructive discussions with someone special can figure strongly. This is a time to consider ways to change your life for the better, particularly by paying more attention to how and what you’re communicating.Leo
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Leo, and your emotions crave clear channels for expression. You’re more inclined to seek acknowledgment, and your feelings seem especially colorful. You want to feel free, fresh, and spontaneous. However, today’s Sun-Pluto aspect is useful for hunkering down and finding solutions, and you’ll appreciate the opportunities it brings to make sense of a matter. You might discover activities and projects that make fuller use of your talents and skills. Look for hidden gems and gold mines now. Your desire to improve, grow, and develop is strong, and this is especially true when it comes to income, work, and health. This is a time for self-improvement through better attention to these areas of life. The drive to be self-supporting and independent is motivating you now.Virgo
With the Moon in your solar twelfth house today, dear Virgo, you gravitate toward activities that help you rest or heal. At this point in the lunar cycle, you need to recoup some energy. However, expressing yourself and sharing your ideas can be rewarding today. A Sun-Pluto trine is empowering, particularly with the Sun in your sign and Pluto encouraging you to grow and improve through sharing and expressing yourself. This transit can encourage you to go deep into a particular project, relationship, or endeavor. Your resourcefulness helps you turn something old into something new, or turn a negative into a positive. This transit reminds you that improving your life is often about making important internal changes. You could see a romance in an entirely different light, or put a romantic slight or hurt behind you. Releasing an emotional weight is a possibility now.Libra
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Libra, and you gravitate toward happy, socially fulfilling activities. This time can also be good for sorting out an emotional, financial, or complex matter. You’re a little more invested in your relationships. Excellent energy is with you for recognizing the need to make changes in your personal life, at home, or within. You can find useful ways to improve your emotional life and domestic world today with a Sun-Pluto trine. You could be considering an important idea or project, and it’s probably wise to keep things under wraps for now–strategy pays off. This is a good day for recognizing the need to make changes within yourself and in your personal or domestic world to improve your life. Leaving some things behind and beginning anew on an emotional level makes sense, and the New Moon on the 17th can help you along these lines. This week is powerful for recognizing the value of emotional regeneration.Scorpio
The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, dear Scorpio, making it a good time to consider and check in with your long-term goals, plans, and ambitions. Your desire to take care of business is strong. Even so, your social life is likely to be a positive area of focus as well. You’re in a good position to take charge of an issue related to a group, team, or friendship. Bonding and repairing can be in strong focus, and it’s empowering! You might strengthen a connection through a gesture or special communication. Your powers of persuasion are strong, and what you say or believe can be of special interest to others. News or ideas exchanged can motivate you to improve, succeed, and achieve. It may be that you see what needs to go so that you can grow, evolve, and thrive.Sagittarius
The Moon in your adventure sector all day sets your sights high, dear Sagittarius. Today’s energies aren’t particularly breezy, but they’re handy, as a Sun-Pluto aspect helps you focus. The ordinary is not very appealing right now. Practical affairs can benefit as you recognize where you’ve been frivolous or wasteful, and where you might redirect your energy for the most benefit. Your confidence builds with your desire to accomplish a little more. It’s also a strong time for dedicated work or editing and refining a long-term project. There can be improvements or good news with educational matters, career, money, and reputation. You’re ready to turn a negative into a positive, or a difficult situation into an opportunity to grow and improve. There can be financial gains or turnarounds for some of you, or increased ambition to improve your financial picture. It’s your determination to overcome obstacles that works in your favor now and this week.Capricorn
Today’s Sun-Pluto trine is an excellent aspect for making lasting changes, dear Capricorn, that refresh your life and go deep, such as getting rid of bad habits, situations, and attitudes. These days, the Sun in your spirit sector is a cosmic push to branch out and learn new things. Today’s Sun-Pluto connection points you in the general direction of making internal changes, but taking a chance or two by learning and exploring beyond your usual bounds can be beneficial as well. You’re recognizing the benefits of learning more or expressing yourself more. You can be especially passionate about what you believe in, and very convincing and persuasive with others, particularly in writing. Others appreciate your perspective, intelligence, and advice. Push your limits and explore ideas that you normally wouldn’t. The Moon spending the day in your intimacy sector is another indicator of a need for meatier, more involving activities and topics.Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Aquarius, and you’re in a social frame of mind. While it’s a lighthearted influence, you have good energy with you for getting to the bottom of a personal or intimate matter. A Sun-Pluto aspect encourages you to grow, improve, and prioritize. You might feel stronger through your intimate connections. On an emotional level, this is a great time to take charge and tap into your inner courage. You may face a fear, kick a bad habit, or seek to improve your close relationships. You are bound to recognize self-destructive patterns or tired, old habits in your relationships that could use a fresh approach. You can feel refreshed through a relationship, or excited about changing your life from the inside out.Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, dear Pisces, turning your attention to ironing out the kinks and attending to the details of your life. With the Sun in your partnership sector in good relationship with Pluto today, you might feel especially supported or motivated by a relationship or a specific person. Efforts to strengthen a partnership can be rewarding now, and pushing boundaries just a touch can lead to impressive results. It’s also a good time for attention to work, health, and education. Efforts to recycle, reorganize, or draw upon skills, talents, and resources you already have are favored now rather than taking on new endeavors. Better relationships can be a powerful motivator for self-improvement. Counseling, organizing, negotiating, and networking can be in focus. You might experience a strong attraction to someone today as you’re drawn to strength, or this can be a time for strengthening an existing bond.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
