Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
A vital part of you wants to take a step back from your duties, dear Aries, but it isn’t easy to pull yourself away completely. Being in between or in limbo can be most unproductive, and it makes sense to seek a healthy balance or choose a side. You might finally deal with a problem area, but getting to this point can be disruptive if you’re unprepared to do so. The results of conflicts can be stimulating but possibly less than satisfying in the heat of the moment. The Moon spends most of the day in your career and responsibility sector, and your duties or long-term goals are strongly on your mind.Taurus
Concentration tends to break down at times today, dear Taurus, and decisiveness also suffers a little. Transits could trigger areas where you’ve been frustrated or growing resentful, particularly with love or friendship and happiness pursuits. Tame tendencies towards stubbornness, as this gets you nowhere. It’s better to seek ways to release tensions and make positive changes. Fortunately, the Moon spends most of the day in your sector of spirit and discovery, encouraging you to vary the routine. You’re also interested in expanding your knowledge, and it can be satisfying to learn something new.Gemini
The Moon spends most of the day in your solar eighth house, dear Gemini, and at this time of the lunar month, you notice elements of people and situations that were previously hidden to you. Your focus and concentration levels are mostly quite robust, and a less scattered approach to your life feels good right now. Emotional centering and presence can boost your relationships. However, there can be a pull between your need to attend to your personal life and your ambition to achieve longer-term goals. As such, settling into one or the other can leave you fearing that you’re missing out. It may be best to remind yourself of the need for balance.Cancer
Differences of opinion may figure strongly today, dear Cancer, and feeling overloaded on a mental level can lead to mistakes if you rush things. If you’re feeling this way, it can signal that you need some mental refreshment. While a strong emphasis on your communications sector does point to rewards from learning, sharing, and connecting, do your best not to overdo these things to the point that you’re no longer benefiting. You may feel a little too connected at times today, or you can feel sensitive to others’ opinions or the news. You might also feel resistance if you try to push things. The challenge is to see two sides to a story and find a healthy balance. Others could indirectly show a side of yourself or your unmet needs through your interactions.Leo
As much as you’d like to take care of business and get things into order, dear Leo, the things you haven’t done or unsettled matters can interfere. Resentment can undoubtedly emerge, and difficulties in reaching an agreement are possible. Still, if you can tune out distractions and focus on your own priorities, it can be a fine time to get some chores out of the way. It can be particularly refreshing if you’ve been putting these things off. You want to be useful or productive with the Moon in your work and health sector most of the day, but you’re approaching a friendlier, more connected period as the day advances.Virgo
There can be some tension between your desire for companionship and your desire to pursue your personal goals, dear Virgo. However, it may be that taking some of the focus off your plans can release tension and can be rewarding. Even with some feelings of resentment, you might gain a better understanding of what you need and what others can offer you through the events of the day. The Moon spends most of the day in an area of your solar chart that rules joy, creativity, entertainment, and self-expression, highlighting your needs for these things. Fortunately, you have plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself now.Libra
The Moon spends most of today in your solar fourth house, dear Libra, and the tendency to stick with familiar faces and places fills a need. Checking in with your innermost needs comes naturally today, and it can also be rewarding. You have a good sense for family and health strategies. You may not always find it easy to focus or concentrate today, largely due to a pull toward getting things done and handling details. Ideally, the desire to get over obstacles can prompt you to find a balance. You might also feel torn between rest and work. It’s probably best to avoid making a big show of things now, but you can also learn something valuable from conflicts stimulated.Scorpio
You can feel torn between personal interests and a commitment to someone, dear Scorpio, or you could vacillate between wanting to go your own way and craving cooperation. While it can be frustrating if you disagree with others (and perhaps even yourself!), interactions and musing may end up revealing your hidden desires. Although today’s transits seem to pit your desire to connect with others against your need to stand out for your own accomplishments, ideally, you can strike a balance that feels right. The Moon in your communications sector most of the day encourages you to learn, share, and diversify. A need for mental variety is with you.Sagittarius
It may not be easy to gain emotional satisfaction today without the fear that you’re missing out on something else, dear Sagittarius. Transits now tend to leave you a little torn, and it can be tricky to get to the point of compromise, but it’s certainly not out of reach. You simply need to connect with your true needs and priorities. Stretching yourself will not help you reach your goals without some sacrifice. Comfort needs assume special importance today with the Moon in your solar second house most of the day. It can be satisfying to put in a little extra effort to make your life more comfortable.Capricorn
The Moon spends most of the day in your sign, dear Capricorn, highlighting your feeling nature and emotional needs. Life seems a little more colorful than usual. Still, moods can be up and down. Someone may seem like an instigator or can be pushing their agenda. Even so, you have something to learn about yourself through conflicts. If resentments have been building, they might emerge, and you can now get over this hump. You could find yourself trying to please someone and, at the same time, striving for independence, which can lead to confusing situations or unnecessary frustration. You’re better off attempting to keep things even and smooth.Aquarius
You’re in a better position to see where your life may have fallen out of balance today, dear Aquarius, although you may not be seeing eye to eye with someone special, especially about spending, power sharing, or intimacy. With the Moon in your solar twelfth house most of the day, you might seek the chance to unwind and treat yourself to light activities. It’s not an ambitious time in your mind, but outside disruptions are nevertheless likely. There can be push-pull energy, as you have much going on in your personal life. Late today, the Moon moves into your sign, and there is a sense that you’re awakening to the need for more satisfying interactions with the world around you.Pisces
Resentments or frustrations that have been building, particularly in your romantic or social life, can reach a boiling point today, dear Pisces. Don’t allow others to push or goad you, but aim to address problem areas. After all, not seeing eye to eye can lead to greater understanding. The Moon spends most of the day in your social sector, indicating a strong desire for emotional refreshment through light interactions or special attention to your dreams and hopes. Late today, the Moon heads into your privacy sector, where it will transit for over two days, and you may need to wind things down, take things easy, and enjoy some rest and replenishment.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
