Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
If you can rise above the frustrations of upset schedules today, dear Aries, this can be a liberating day. It becomes far easier to focus as the day advances, which helps you escape the feeling of overwhelm that slows you down. Still, you might benefit from looking to the past for answers to problems in the present. Avoid taking on responsibilities that others should be handling themselves. As well, watch for relying too heavily on others when you’d be better off getting things done independently. It’s a good time to find something lost or overlooked and, on another level, see where you may have been taking the easy road to your disadvantage. Aim to use your diplomatic talents in your dealings, but watch for a tendency to please and appease that might later come back to haunt you. Stay alert to possible opportunities to advance your interests instead of sticking to the same old comforts. Lean towards activities and people that encourage you to improve, grow, and develop for the best results now.Taurus
Deflated feelings are possible early today, dear Taurus, but an adjusted plan may be all the better for you. This change could lead to positive outcomes. Aim to reconnect with your intuition if you’ve been pushing yourself too hard or ignoring your need for rest and reflection. You’re in good shape for caring for the more practical side of relationships, and today is solid for creative pursuits and ideas, especially since your sense of harmony and balance is powerful. You may be looking to the past for answers to work or health concerns, which can be a helpful exercise in moderation. However, it may be best to avoid falling back on old methods just because they’re more comfortable if they prevent you from moving forward. Consider whether you’re holding onto something that no longer serves you well, particularly an attitude or expectation. In a similar vein, watch for a tendency to throw yourself into chores or work to avoid dealing with a problem or emotion.Gemini
If you’ve been hoping for something that’s failed to materialize, dear Gemini, do your best to make adjustments and adapt to the new situation, as it may very well be better for you ultimately. As today advances, your enthusiasm may rest very much on an idea or feeling that inspires you. You’re likely to seek and enjoy more leisure activities and or a hobby. Temporarily, progress can be slow with a heartfelt interest, such as a love relationship or a creative project, but you can take small steps toward achieving your goals. It’s best to avoid carelessness in matters of the heart in the meantime. There can be a connection with an old love interest or friend, or you’re feeling sentimental about an old love or pet project. You can benefit from looking to the past, as you may reawaken a worthwhile pursuit, but consider where you could be holding onto the past in unhealthy ways. As Venus meets the South Node today, your inclination may be to fall back on quick fixes or the easy route instead of moving in the direction of challenge, reward, and growth.Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your solar third house, dear Cancer, and your curiosity is strong–it often leads you today. This transit feels lively as it encourages more movement and interaction. Early today, the desire for something more exotic can be strong, and the need for some form of escape is persistent. Schedules seem off, and so does timing in general, and aiming to be flexible is a good strategy under these conditions. You may very well end up enjoying the space and freedom delays or others’ unavailability affords you to do your own thing. As the day advances, it’s easier to focus on manageable things, which steadies you. But while it can be a creative day on a mental level, there’s some inclination to fall back on comfortable behaviors rather than challenge yourself or aim to grow and learn. Old habits seem to have a strong pull on you now, and a good deed from the past can benefit you. Using your talents can reap the rewards, but it may also be wise to challenge yourself in a small way. You may be taking the path of least resistance.Leo
Try to avoid borrowing from the future, not only with money but also with time and energy, dear Leo, as you might be tempted to put things off. It may be wise to keep your own counsel because something said can be blown out of proportion. However, as the day advances, it’s easier to lock into a steady, deliberate pace. Today’s transits can pull you into the past in spots, however. You’re disinclined to put yourself out or challenge yourself, preferring to fall back on talents and resources you already have, which can occasionally be what you need. Still, it’s best to avoid enabling or appeasing others in ways that might come back to haunt you later. Be discreet and tactful, particularly with relatives, neighbors, and classmates, but avoid promises or deferrals.Virgo
You could feel somewhat wistful at times today, dear Virgo. Consider that while desires may seem to come from out of the blue and may be impractical, entertaining the idea of them can lead to new perspectives and ideas that serve you well as you advance. Today’s events can make it exceptionally clear what steps you need to take to improve your finances or take charge of your earnings. However, it can be tempting to fall back on talents and resources you already have instead of putting yourself out or challenging yourself. This can be fine sometimes, but it’s vital to avoid appeasing or passing up on opportunities now. Avoid promises or deferrals, even though they seem far more attractive than usual. With a stronger awareness of where you may be over-attached, you are well-positioned to clear away obstacles related to money and business.Libra
It may be wise to take some time out or focus on the vision rather than the details of a plan or project today, dear Libra. The Moon spends the day in your twelfth house, and you can feel a strong need to retreat or withdraw to rest and reflect. Fortunately, an alternative look at a situation can be fascinating. Aim to work on problem areas step by step so that it becomes far easier to do your day. Focusing on the manageable things in your life can help ground you and give you a sense of control. Good energy is with you for releasing yourself from something from the past today. A Venus-South Node alignment in your sign helps you let go of stress and tension. Still, it can convince you to take the easy way out. Sometimes, you simply need a break, but other times, you miss opportunities to grow and learn if you back away from a challenge, and the latter may be the case today. If you notice you’re frequently falling back on doing things on your own when pairing up or sharing the load would be much better for you, you might decide to make changes.Scorpio
It could be challenging to get satisfaction in relationships temporarily, dear Scorpio, with your needs and wants clashing. It may be that part of you is looking for a romantic or spiritual connection, and another part is vying for a deeper, more intimate bond. This energy can instead play out with pursuits and pleasures. You’re only half in, and this is a frustrating position for your sign. However, as the day advances, strong memories guide you, or you make unusual connections. You might connect with an old friend this week as Venus and the South Node align in your solar twelfth house. There can be some tendency to seek the easy way out. However, with a little poking around and self-honesty, you might learn what’s most valuable to you, and this process can benefit you greatly. You might tie up loose ends as you become aware of delays or matters you previously overlooked that now require your attention.Sagittarius
While there can be confusion and exaggeration to the day’s energies, dear Sagittarius, you are well-positioned to turn it into a positive, even if it’s only about slowing down and taking a break from overthinking. It makes sense to catch your breath now. As the day advances, applying yourself to constructive activities makes sense. Confusing elements of your life may seem to fall away as you focus on working towards attainable goals. The best approach to relationships today is a supportive one–empowering each other works best, leading to increased trust and bonding. Socially, you could be in the mood to get comfortable. A connection with an old friend or strong memories of someone from your past can figure strongly now, and you’re in a more sentimental mood than usual. This emphasis on your sentimental mood will make you feel nostalgic and connected to your past. Nevertheless, don’t let this stop you from making some connections, as an opportunity can emerge for exciting personal discoveries through your interactions.Capricorn
For the best results today, dear Capricorn, loosen up your schedule a little to make room for creative envisioning before making your next move. Your intuitive understanding of how to use your resources or talents to your benefit is strong as the day advances. Romantic opportunities, or chances to socialize and make mutually beneficial connections, can emerge through business. Instead, you enjoy your work and the impact you make more than usual. You might recognize any attachments holding you back from growing and thriving. Clearing up old projects that are slowing your progress or taking care of duties so that you can start fresh can be in the spotlight.Aquarius
Others appreciate your natural personal style today, dear Aquarius. While it can be hard to find the words or channels for expressing yourself early today, it becomes far easier to understand and convey your message as the day advances. You are more courageous and forthright with your feelings. It can be enjoyable to give further thought to recent issues, and discussing strategies can be rewarding. Even with a New Moon just behind you, you tend to want to review matters before feeling confident enough to move ahead. You are taking care of unfinished business now, which will help move things forward later. It’s a good idea to consider which habits or attachments in your life may be holding you back from advancing and thriving, particularly mentally or regarding attitudes and mindsets.Pisces
Your interest in learning new things, diversifying, and making connections is growing these days, dear Pisces. Still, some complications or complexities are interesting to you in your relationships and connections. Look for opportunities to clear up debts or settle accounts as it’s a great time to consider letting go of unnecessary attachments. For instance, you might want to explore ways to pay off debts or recover loans. Strategies emerging from today’s thinking can be golden. Your strong desire for a secure future and the satisfaction of achieving your goals will drive you to finish paperwork or overlooked errands, setting the stage for progress. While you may be drawn to comfortable situations today, remember that an opportunity for growth could be right before you.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
