Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Your eye for the details is excellent today, dear Aries. A Mercury-Saturn trine offers a feeling of groundedness through communications with relatives or acquaintances, friends, or even yourself, through journaling. Positive feedback can fuel your motivation to do your best and your confidence and enthusiasm. As the day advances, going with the flow makes more sense, and you’re likely to enjoy the process! You may want to act on a deep desire or a dream, and you can be successful at taking action on a private or behind-the-scenes matter. Because your intuition and imagination are in stronger focus, you might want to flesh out a project already in progress with fancy flourishes or creative touches. You have easy access to your subconscious mind and your inner world.

Taurus

Transits in the first half of the day encourage practical thinking, dear Taurus, or you might decide to face something you’ve let slide or put on a shelf, and it’s satisfying! Conversations can be constructive, and you may learn a trick or two that helps you advance your goals. Keep your mind open but also focused on the details that are especially important right now. It’s easier than usual to ferret out opportunities, and you benefit from a bright, clear frame of mind. Later today, the Sun in your sign heads toward harmony with Neptune, opening your heart and your mind to new possibilities. This aspect encourages looking at things and people for their beauty rather than their flaws. Dreams and ideals assume particular importance to you, and helping others can be rewarding. The more easygoing and likable qualities of your nature are noticeable, drawing others to you.

Gemini

You’re quick to identify and focus on priorities, dear Gemini. It can be an excellent time to follow through on a dream, pet project, or another endeavor that’s close to your heart. Life may not be especially colorful in the first part of the day, but reliability can be a great comfort, and it’s a good idea to take on some form of organizing efforts now. As well, your imagination engages as the day advances. Helping you go with the flow is a Sun-Neptune aspect that encourages relaxation and retreat. The creative side of your projects holds more appeal than usual, and you’re particularly good at seeing magic in your pursuits or bringing magic to your ventures. You might be looking to take action on a dream, private matter, or charitable feeling, and you can be quite successful at making meaningful changes. People are noticing you for your kindness.

Cancer

Today’s energies are good for firming up and securing your life in little ways, dear Cancer, and it feels great to do so. You are looking for results rather than ideas in the first half of the day. You prefer to channel your mental energies into something worthwhile or substantial. You’re likely to have remarkably accurate perceptions about an issue related to unfinished business. Work behind the scenes can prosper. While paying attention to details helps you, transits help you detach and detox as the day advances. A Sun-Neptune connection comes into play, and it inspires you to dream and imagine wonderful possibilities. Look for refreshing changes of scenery or activities that promote emotional refreshment for best results.

Leo

A Mercury-Saturn trine influencing the first half of the day especially helps anchor you, dear Leo. You can benefit from some organized thinking. You can tie together original ideas in practical ways, or you might enjoy a reinforcing, supportive alliance or conversation that builds your confidence and optimism. As the day advances, you go a different route, tuning into the creative, imaginative energy generated by a Sun-Neptune influence. You might shine as a leader, and channels for self-expression open as your faith increases and you see more possibilities. It’s a good idea to consider the more imaginative or spiritual side to long-term goals and career projects or your career path. Your hunches seem to be on the mark, and you may very well be in the creative spotlight. Others can be quite intrigued by you and drawn to you naturally. Your intuition is strong for future trends, helping you make good choices. As well, research and development benefit from your intuitive approach.

Virgo

In the first half of the day, a Mercury-Saturn aspect tends to ground you, dear Virgo. Your responsible side is in the spotlight, mainly through your work, services, or leadership. A sense of mission or purpose boosts your productivity. Today is potentially excellent for asking for what you want or presenting your ideas, and it’s even better for making long-term plans. You seem on the right track with your chores, routines, job, or health. As the day advances, your compassion for others is in the spotlight, and you might support someone who needs your help either mentally, physically, or spiritually. You are likely to receive favorable, positive responses to your ideas or plans. Patience and a feeling of connectedness with others can be in focus. Something spiritual, romantic, or otherwise inspiring can lift your spirits and improve your outlook. Feeling understood can have the same effect. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life today.

Libra

With Mercury and Saturn in harmony, dear Libra, you want to get on track. Focusing on what’s doable will do wonders for you, even if it means making some progress rather than big wins. You might thoroughly enjoy sharing your ideas or vision with others, teaching, and studying. You can benefit from taking things step by step. Or, you might decide to focus on a special project and make solid advances with it. As the day advances, energies shift as an upcoming Sun-Neptune aspect encourages your imagination. It helps you chill and relax rather than rush or push things. There can be intuitive hunches that lead you to the right information and creative ways to improve your work or health. Supporting others or self-improvement efforts can be particularly rewarding. While you may get stuck on a fact out of place early today, you’re more interested in what it all means later. Putting your faith in a person you care about, and yourself, too, can be just what you need today.

Scorpio

Today’s Mercury-Saturn aspect helps you see things for what they are, not only what you wish or fear them to be, dear Scorpio. A feeling of emotional strength helps buoy you. There is an attraction to what’s beneath the surface or hidden from sight, and you can delight in trying to figure things out or solve a mystery. A dilemma could unravel or seem to resolve itself. This transit is quite helpful for gaining clarity about an emotional, intimate, or family issue. Loans or practical ways to improve home life can be in the offing. As the day advances, transits encourage your faith that things will unfold as they should, and this can help you relax and open your heart. There can be greater understanding and acceptance in a relationship. Connecting with others can lead to attractive opportunities, and creative efforts are particularly successful.

Sagittarius

Today’s Mercury-Saturn transit helps ground your thinking or communications, dear Sagittarius, particularly in one-to-one relationships. There can be a constructive conversation or session with someone who helps you organize your thoughts and gets you into a more practical, realistic frame of mind. Someone could be an excellent sounding board for your ideas. Focusing on a project or writing out your thoughts can have positive effects. Problems are best solved logically, step by step, and in an organized fashion for best results. The more you tune out the fluff and tune into the facts, the more valuable and useful ideas and plans emerge. However, as the day advances, this changes. You might benefit from giving your brain a rest. With the Sun and Neptune coming into aspect, it’s an excellent time to assimilate, disengage, and process. You can have romantic feelings in connection to the past. Intuitive insights into health or recent work projects can be helpful and right on mark. Your motivation to do something meaningful is very strong.

Capricorn

Your interest strengthens with attention to detail, work, health, and problem-solving today, dear Capricorn. Small jobs and duties are in stronger focus. You are less inclined to think about the bigger picture or to do long-term planning as you zero in on your daily affairs and routines in the first half of the day. Logical answers to questions satisfy. Even if it’s only in your mind or something is in a planning stage, you’ll find that organizing your thinking is soothing now. However, as the day advances, you’d rather pull back and give your brain a rest. A Sun-Neptune transit is on the horizon, and it helps relax you, filling you with more faith and patience. This could be a time of creative or emotional inspiration. You can be more confident about expressing your imaginative side.

Aquarius

Today is great for diving into a project that requires attention to detail, dear Aquarius. You tend to be on the right track. Even if conversations are not especially colorful in the first half of the day, they can be helpful and instructive. Keeping things simple and methodical works best for now. Applying yourself to constructive activities or hobbies can help you get your priorities straight. The day’s energies shift considerably later today as we head toward a Sun-Neptune transit that supports your faith and vision, making it natural to relax and go with the flow. You might turn to activities that produce spiritual rewards. Energies are good for tapping into your intuition and coming up with solutions that benefit your finances, family, home life, and sense of security or safety.

Pisces

Today’s Mercury-Saturn transit spotlights common sense and a desire for a plan or strategy, dear Pisces. It’s a good time to organize the home or do something productive behind the scenes. Focusing on what you can do to improve your personal life can be soothing and empowering. There can be a positive show of support through good advice or reliability. It’s a great time to put the finishing touches on a special project or for doing editing work. You feel better if you meet your responsibilities. You might also feel especially emotionally equipped to face issues that you would usually prefer to avoid or put off. Domestic matters benefit from a practical approach. Still, as the day advances, you find yourself ready to pull back and enjoy a break from overthinking. We’re heading towards a Sun-Neptune aspect that puts you right in your element. You’re interacting with imagination and unique flair. The emotional and spiritual aspects of your life assume particular importance to you, and others notice or appreciate your finer qualities. You are effortlessly displaying your finer qualities, competencies, and personal strength. People tend to be speaking highly of you, and there is a general ease and natural flow in social situations.
