Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Venus moves into the sign behind yours today, dear Aries, and will visit this area of your solar chart until March 21st. It would help if you had more time to get in touch with your feelings during this cycle. Your affections can be complicated, or relationships can be complex. There can be a greater love of private moments, and you might enjoy a certain measure of solitude or benefits and help from behind the scenes. You might do more for others during this period, although there is every reason to take your time with matters of the heart, decisions about love, and money or pleasure. You’re moving into a quieter, private period for your social life. You tend to mull things over or do some soul-searching in the weeks ahead. This cycle precedes the Venus in Aries cycle that will begin on March 21st and bring everything to the surface. However, today’s Moon transit tends to encourage interaction and self-expression.

Taurus

Your ruling planet, Venus, is now guest-staying in your social sector until March 21st, dear Taurus. With this move, Venus is now in a supportive relationship to your sign for the next three weeks plus, and you’ll find it natural to express your feelings and attract what you want into your life. Venus is soulful and compassionate in this position, and there can be interesting connections with and through friends made in the weeks ahead. It’s easier than usual for you to attract friends and those who share common interests. You’re accommodating with friends, and this trait comes into prominence during this cycle. You might gain a stronger sense of fulfillment through activities with and for others. Today, you’re more inclined to see opportunities that you overlooked in the past. The Moon spends the day in your home and family sector, inclining you to seek some downtime, comfort, and familiarity.

Gemini

In the weeks ahead, you’ll find it easier to cooperate and charm others, dear Gemini, particularly in public or professional settings. The Sun moved into your solar tenth house of career and reputation last week, and now Venus does the same. Responsibilities in love become clearer in the coming weeks, or there can be a pleasant boost to your reputation. You may be cutting deals and negotiating with more ease until March 21st or enjoying increased social and financial opportunities through your business or professional dealings. People are more likely to acknowledge and notice your creativity, charm, or warmth. Life seems to showcase your talents more readily. However, with the Moon transiting your communications sector today, it’s not particularly easy to focus or concentrate. Nevertheless, you can pick up some interesting tidbits of information that can help you along.

Cancer

Venus moves into harmony with your sign today, dear Cancer, and will continue to enhance your life in subtle but magical ways until March 21st. This transit inspires you, bringing out your natural highlights for all to see and enjoy. The weeks ahead are for sharing your joy. This transit gently and pleasantly stimulates your desire for more variety and diversity in your life. Your tastes for pleasures, people, and places can be just a little more exotic or out of the ordinary. A spirit of adventure and discovery takes hold. Your personality is admired and appreciated — those qualities that come most naturally to you are qualities that people are generally enjoying at this time. Sharing your personal philosophy with someone special can bring a relationship to a new level. Today, you are likely to enjoy settling in and getting comfortable.

Leo

Venus heads into your solar eighth house for a stay until March 21st, dear Leo. This cycle encourages a desire to be close to someone or to spend extra time on a project or venture you love. Focusing your love and energies can be especially attractive and rewarding in the weeks ahead. Coming to peaceful agreements about money is possible, or you may find it easier to attract support. This cycle favors working on the more complicated or intricate areas of relationships, sharing, and intimacy. You’re taking your private life more seriously! With the Sun also in this sector of your chart, you are in a great position to bring more creativity and dynamism to your intimate life or money matters in the coming weeks. Today, the Moon spends the day in your sign, animating your feelings and bringing a sense of urgency to your emotional needs.

Virgo

Venus moves into your partnership sector today, dear Virgo, encouraging a pleasant focus on your relationships in the weeks ahead. The Sun is already in this sector of your solar chart, and you can spend more time and energy on relationships, balancing, and harmonizing. This Venus transit lasts until March 21st, and it can bring happy or helpful people into your life or boost current relationships. If you have any need for peace-making or if you can benefit from counseling, it’s a great time for doing so. You are open to conciliate and compromise, considering the other side of the coin before making decisions. It’s a period for treating others as equals and accepting no less in return. It’s also a fantastic transit for learning something inspiring about yourself through another’s eyes. Feedback can be most helpful. Today, the Moon is in your privacy sector, however, and you’re more inclined to want to withdraw or spend extra time on resting and healing.

Libra

Venus begins its transit of your work and health sector today, dear Libra, where it will stay until March 21st. The weeks ahead are strong for bringing more harmony, enjoyment, and even aesthetic appeal to your daily life and working environment. Restoring balance to working relationships can be in focus, and perhaps some social opportunities through your work or daily routines can emerge. It may not be the most productive of times in the year, but it serves a useful purpose, as the enjoyment of your work and routines is important. As well, the Sun is also transiting this sector of your solar chart, and your pride in your routines can motivate you further. Work, chores, or health pursuits can be more satisfying in the coming three weeks plus. Today, the Moon spends the day in your social sector, and you prefer to focus on your dreams, plans, and happiness goals.

Scorpio

Venus moves into harmony with your sign today, dear Scorpio, where it will transit until March 21st. This transit is excellent for enjoying yourself, magnetism, and personal popularity. Venus brings graciousness, powers of attraction, the urge to interact, and considerable charm to your solar house of self-expression, creativity, romance, children, entertainment, and other channels through which you express your need for play, reinforcement, and applause. It’s a transit that frames you well. People tend to appreciate your natural qualities more than usual. Flowing, attracting energy is with you in the weeks ahead. Still, today’s Moon increases your sense of responsibility, and you’re connecting with your practical priorities.

Sagittarius

Venus heads into your sector of home and family today for a stay of over three weeks, dear Sagittarius. The Sun entered this part of your solar chart last week, and with Venus here now, there’s an even stronger focus on your personal life. This cycle is terrific for directing positive energy into your home and family. You’re interested in creating more harmony in your domestic world. These transits can encourage your appreciation for the comforts and familiarity of home, family, and familiar people and places. You may be playing it safe with new people on a heart level, however, or you find love close to home. Today, tremendous energy is with you for finding very creative ways to meet your needs.

Capricorn

Venus heads into your solar third house for a stay of more than three weeks, dear Capricorn, where the Sun is currently transiting. This move brings even more attention to your personal interests, the mind, learning, and connecting, and it ups the pleasure factor with these things! Venus will continue to boost your appeal until March 21st. You’re in perfect shape for expressing yourself, social curiosity, learning, and sharing ideas with others. You stand to benefit significantly from the smoothing-over powers of Venus, and there could be some good publicity or news and greater ease in your social life in the weeks ahead. You’re getting your ideas across well and thoroughly enjoying new interests. Today, you’re in a great position to find creative ways to meet your needs without putting pressure on yourself. The pace is just right.

Aquarius

Venus leaves your sign today and enters your personal resources sector, dear Aquarius, where it will transit until March 21st. The Sun entered this area of your solar chart last week, and with Venus here now, you’re especially interested in pacing yourself, winding down, and building upon your resources. Affections stabilize during this cycle. You could be spending more money on beautiful things, comfort items, and things you expect will last. You are attracting the good things in life! Salary increases are possible, and any gifts coming into your life in the coming weeks tend to be more notable or lavish than usual. More importantly, you’re attracting more respect. With love and friendship, you look for familiarity and security. You’re more interested in getting comfortable than seeking new experiences. It’s a time to see and appreciate your efforts.

Pisces

Venus moves into your sign for a stay of over three weeks, dear Pisces. It’s a beautiful time to feel comfortable in your own skin and attract what you want into your life. You’re freer with your feelings during this cycle. You’re a little more inclined to pamper or enjoy yourself and clearer about what and who you love! This ingress comes only a week after the Sun moved into your sign, and both Venus and the Sun will stick with you until March 20th and 21st. You radiate good energy, attracting positive feedback. Venus in Pisces boosts your warmth, charm, and personal attractiveness, but it’s also a fine time to build self-acceptance.
