Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Sun and retrograde Mercury align in your work and health sector today, dear Aries, and you approach problems from a different angle, which can be very helpful. This transit helps you see some of the details of your life you previously missed. You might gain meaningful insight into a work, chore, or health issue. Consider that ideas born now can have great significance later. You are the go-to person for help or information, and you enjoy this role today. It’s better to think about what you can do to improve and tweak current projects and ideas than to start all-new ones, but your thinking along these lines is creative. You’re learning much about what you’re getting from your work and daily routines or health routines these days, and news that points you in the right direction can arrive. It’s a turning point of sorts, moving you from a state of indecision to increased clarity, although your path is not yet fully illuminated.Taurus
Consider that your mind can be in overdrive at times today, dear Taurus, but it’s better not to overthink. Try to put aside tension over personal viewpoints, paperwork, or errands. Still, you have an opportunity to find new ways of getting your message across that are perhaps a little non-traditional but very satisfying. Reviewing old ideas can lead to new methods that can be very important in the coming months. This might also involve new “old” opportunities, as someone from your past could reappear or a past issue might wrap up. Whether this happens in your thoughts or in the flesh, it’s helpful and serves a useful purpose. You’re coming across with a bit of mystery that works in your favor. Today’s conversations or ideas can serve as significant turning points, but you don’t yet have the full story. Your attitude about future growth and improvement is evolving as the Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury. Further information or an epiphany about a creative or romantic matter can figure strongly.Gemini
The Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury today, dear Gemini, as they continue their transits of your solar fourth house. But while the Sun is pushing ahead in this sector of your chart, Mercury is on its way backward. This aspect encourages you to want to make sense of matters from the past. You’re in great shape for some exploring, as ideas that result from today’s musings and communications can have long-term importance. You might gain a new understanding of a past, home, or family matter. It’s a good day for releasing a problem through a conversation with someone you trust. It’s nevertheless best to observe, take notes, and muse rather than lock something down–there’s more to come as a story evolves.Cancer
Helpful conversations and musings are in the spotlight now, dear Cancer. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury meeting today, you might revive an old interest or view a current one in a new light. Ideas generated now, especially about learning, mental interests, communication, neighbors, connections, and siblings, can be especially significant. They could kickstart a long-term pursuit or lead you in an important new direction. While this can be a turning point, it may be best to postpone big launches until more information completes the picture–Mercury is still retrograde, after all. As we’re in the middle of the retrograde Mercury cycle, there can be more to an evolving story. For now, it’s a great time to observe, get a feel for a matter, and take notes! Your advice to someone can be sought and appreciated, or you might discover a lost or overlooked detail that changes things.Leo
There’s some tendency to be too provocative while communicating or to react hastily today, dear Leo. It’s probably best not to complicate matters further by juggling too much. It’s important to find things to engage your mind and refresh your spirit. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sector of money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions, pay special attention to ideas coming in now. They can be important! Whether they emerge from within or outside of you, something falls into place, and it can feel magical. It’s a time for seeing a matter in a new light, and benefits come from doing so. Not everything is likely to make sense, as is often the case with new beginnings, but what emerges from conversations and musings now can be significant later. Keep in mind that what you say today can be more memorable than usual, so be sure to choose your words carefully.Virgo
You look at issues in a new light today, dear Virgo, as the Sun and retrograde Mercury meet in your sign. You’re sure to arrive at interesting conclusions and insights as you take stock of recent events and draw upon your experience and past for ideas. You are especially “heard” today and generally received well, but with more impact and Mercury still retrograde, you may want to take special care when communicating. Something that appears to go over swimmingly may end up a misunderstanding. Aim to clear out the mental clutter to make room in your mind for positive thoughts and new ideas. After all, your observations can lead to significant and long-term improvements. It can also be a time when you rethink a matter that has been weighing you down.Libra
With today’s alignment between the Sun and retrograde Mercury, dear Libra, you can get meaningful insights into your innermost feelings, the past, or a long-term problem. This Sun-Mercury meeting occurs in the area of your solar chart that rules karma and all that is hidden or under wraps. You’re receiving interesting clues from your impressions and dreams. Ways to let go of bad attitudes or situations are clearer with today’s transits. There could be a secret revealed or an epiphany that leads you to view old problems or a past matter in a very telling new light. The information you come across today can be significant for putting something behind you. Private time can be particularly helpful if you can manage it. Consider that while you’re at a turning point, Mercury is only partway through its retrograde cycle, and there is more to learn, process, and reveal as you advance.Scorpio
The Sun meets with retrograde Mercury in your sector of social connections, dreams, and hopes today, dear Scorpio. This alignment can stir important thinking, news, or conversations, which in turn give you new insight into recent events, decisions, or problems. It can be illuminating! These revelations can relate to friends, projects, and relationships. Consider that, with current transits, you’re especially sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s communicated right now. You’re gathering valuable information, and it’s a great time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests or plans. While this insight is still in its new and raw stages, it puts you on the road to new beginnings. Memories or surprise meetings can change your perspective.Sagittarius
Transits today and this week seem to prompt you to review recent ideas, projects, or decisions, dear Sagittarius, especially about business or the longer-term plans and items. Ambitions, career, responsibilities, or reputation issues can be in focus with the Sun’s alignment to retrograde Mercury in your solar tenth house. You’re beginning to approach your direction and long-term goals in new ways that can be fruitful, leading to significant new ideas. You can get a sense of your next step or insight into particular directions you’ve been taking. Your communications have more impact than usual, and with Mercury still retrograde, it’s best to be selective with your words, keeping in mind that misunderstandings are possible. Your observations today can be invaluable later, but it’s still not the best time for major decision-making.Capricorn
An opportunity can emerge to see things in new ways with the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sector of spirit and higher thought, dear Capricorn. Thoughts might turn to the past or recent decisions and plans, and your new take on a situation is helpful! The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring and enlightening. Issues related to education, transportation, beliefs, or publishing can be in stronger focus, and you can be doing a lot of reviewing and analyzing. What you read and hear about today can be invaluable for future projects or inspire new thinking and ideas that have the power to stick with you for some time to come. This can be a time of drawing upon your experience and creating something new from it or seeing new layers of a situation you previously overlooked.Aquarius
You enjoy a new perspective on a matter today, dear Aquarius. The things you read and hear about this week can benefit future projects, even if you have yet to see their full significance. It can be a time to draw upon experience and create something new from it. Thoughts might turn to the past or recent decisions and plans, but you’re looking at things in a new light, which can be very helpful. The conversations you engage in now can be inspiring and entertaining. It’s a time to let your thoughts flow, but perhaps be a little more mindful of what you say with the Sun aligned with retrograde Mercury. You gain new insight into a past relationship or your own psyche. If you’re a little self-absorbed now, it may very well be a valuable exercise. You’re likely to gain a big clue or further information on a matter, but it’s not yet time for a conclusion.Pisces
You look at a relationship in a new way today, dear Pisces, or you see different layers of a person or situation. Instead, someone could help you see a whole new perspective on a matter, and it’s illuminating! This theme occurs due to the Sun’s alignment with retrograde Mercury in your partnership sector. You’re unlikely to have all the answers now, but it’s a powerful time to see issues and people in a new light. Counseling or negotiating can be significant. Today is strong for opening up conversations about the past since there is more consideration for both sides of a situation. The significance of your ideas or discussions today may not yet be clear, but they can lead to important conclusions or directions down the road.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
