Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Neptune turns direct after months of retrograde motion, dear Aries, and this turn helps you decide which elements of your life need to end or go on a shelf. Pay special attention to activities that help you unwind and decompress now for the best results, but do make some room for freeform activities that feed your spirit and satisfy your itch to learn and discover. Over the coming weeks, counting on your intuition comes naturally after a period of questioning or second-guessing your instincts. Information and signals you’re receiving are improved and more reliable, or it may be that your ability to process them increases. Believing a lie that you’re telling yourself can wear away at your confidence in yourself, in others, and in life itself. It’s time to put procrastination behind you. Today’s energies are also good for mutually beneficial agreements, cooperating with others, or receiving useful feedback. Quiet study or research can turn up the answers you need, and perhaps some rewards. Focusing on something absorbing and pouring a lot of energy into a project you care about can boost your mood.

Taurus

The Moon spends another day in your sign, dear Taurus, and your emotions are colorful, demanding your attention. Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, helping unblock a friendship problem or stall, and the same may be true of a project. In the coming weeks, friendships, goals, and alliances may turn a corner. Your faith in these things strengthens perhaps after some demotivation. Neptune is still Neptune, however, and these areas of life can remain up-in-the-air on some level, but now you feel more confident about where to put your trust. You might hear from a friend after a long absence or pick up an old project and begin reworking it. Recently, when you’ve needed someone to lean on, you may not have found them, or you’ve ended up extending your help instead, and now you’ll more easily see and find the right channels. Also today, a Mercury-Jupiter transit opens minds. Willingness to learn increases clarity and satisfaction. People have a way of jumpstarting your thinking processes, and conversations can turn into something inspirational if only because they get your creative juices flowing. Your ability to put things into perspective can open up doors that were previously closed, not only because you’re entertaining new ideas but also because others are more willing to consider your viewpoint.

Gemini

Neptune ends its retrograde cycle today, dear Gemini, and it can help unblock a career matter, direction, goal, or significant project. If you’ve been on the fence about a path to take, you’ll begin to move in the right direction intuitively. You are especially open to new insights and understanding, and you can be quite pleased with your work and the things you’ve accomplished. In the weeks ahead, you might gradually rebuild your faith in matters related to career, long term plans, and your ability to meet your responsibilities. Even if you are not clear in your direction, you are likely to feel more confident that things will unfold as they should. In fact, Neptune’s lengthy transit of your goals-and-career sector teaches you to let go of expectations and believe in your capabilities. Your reputation or professional image can improve as a result. Today’s Mercury-Jupiter aspect improves your optimism. You can get much done in this frame of mind. It’s a time for thinking up new methods and plans for self-improvement that excite you.

Cancer

Your belief in yourself and life itself is growing now, dear Cancer. More and more, you believe in your dreams with Neptune’s retrograde ending today. There can be a turning point in a project or an attitude. Your panoramic view of life returns to you now and in the coming weeks. For some of you, plans related to education, legal matters, or publishing can move forward. Even if it’s not explicit or well-defined, you have more faith that you’re heading in the right direction. You’re embracing the idea that you don’t always need clarity to embrace living. Recent distractions from the bigger picture start to fall to the side. A Mercury-Jupiter transit today helps conversations flow smoothly, and creative thinking can find satisfying channels or mediums. One-on-one exchanges can be particularly beneficial, and a pleasant conversation can figure strongly. Thoughts or musings can take you somewhere special today.

Leo

You’re turning a corner with shared assets, support, and boundaries in relationships, dear Leo, as Neptune turns direct in your solar eighth house after five months of retrograde motion. You’re likely to feel reinvigorated on a spiritual level now. While you may not gain clarity or definitions, you’ll feel less vulnerable or overwhelmed going forward. If you’ve felt dependent on someone or something and haven’t had the energy to turn that situation around, you’ll find this Neptune shift empowering. Days of procrastination on finances and dependencies are nearing an end. In the weeks ahead, you’re likely to rebuild faith in your ability to work through problem areas. Today’s energies are good for conversations and problem-solving related to family, home, parents, work, and health matters. Great ideas can come to you with fresh thinking. With others more cooperative, you feel better about what you’re doing. You can feel inspired to work harder or push yourself just a little more to reach a health, nutrition, or fitness goal.

Virgo

With Neptune’s direct turn after five months of retrograde motion, dear Virgo, you’re likely to enjoy a refreshment of your spirit and building of your faith in a relationship or friendship. Focusing on the positive, beautiful, and magical qualities of life and love can be rewarding now and in the weeks ahead. If you’ve felt at the mercy of the whims and moods of others or quite undecided about how to improve your life regarding relationships, you’ll feel a little more decided or faithful going forward. While it’s not about more clarity or definition, you’re likely to feel far less overwhelmed, and you start the work of building faith in yourself to take charge of your comfort levels in your significant relationships. You’re not as inclined to procrastinate on a relationship matter. You’re turning a corner with decisions about who and what you want in your life. The process of learning about your relationship needs is ongoing, and there will be several peaks and valleys along the way, and you’re now heading towards one of the peaks. It’s time to refine your expectations and plans or dreams. A Mercury-Jupiter aspect today benefits your communications and creative output. There can be encouraging words shared, or you receive positive feedback now. You find many reasons to think positively, and it’s easier to verbalize what you want.

Libra

With Neptune’s direct turn today, dear Libra, you begin to feel better about your efforts to improve your work, health, and daily routines. This helps you clear your mind of guilt or worry. You’re motivated to share and discuss ideas with people close to you today, which can be very fruitful. Instead of repeating old patterns that keep you in a rut, you’re trying a different approach. In the weeks ahead, you’re renewing your faith in what you do or in the idea that more meaningfulness is to come. Your life doesn’t straighten out overnight with Neptune’s change of direction, but you feel a little more confident that you can turn around some problems. Also today, a Mercury-Jupiter aspect raises your mood and encourages positive thinking. You’re in particularly good shape for thoughts and conversations about money, family, or home life.

Scorpio

Neptune turns direct today after months of retrograde motion, dear Scorpio. It’s a boost to all things romantic and creative in your life, and it’s a time for discovering your joy. You’re encouraged to believe in your dreams or to clear your mind of plans that no longer serve you well so that you can make room for new ones. In recent months, confusion in your life may have had to do with avoiding getting in touch with your heart on a matter. Now, you’re listening to your heart, even if you don’t have all the answers just yet. A creative project, cherished hobby, or romantic friendship may show signs of progress in the weeks ahead. Also today, good energy is with you for creating something beautiful or some good memories. You express yourself with more ease, which attracts new opportunities your way. You might take on new interests or study a new topic, and possibly enjoy a learning breakthrough. Today’s Mercury-Jupiter aspect encourages positive thinking and exchanges.

Sagittarius

You can enjoy more clarity or forward movement with the home, living conditions, and living arrangements in the weeks ahead, dear Sagittarius, as well as relationships with family, roommates, and very close loved ones. As Neptune turns direct after retrograde motion since June, you might reinvigorate dreams and plans. You could find yourself in a supportive role and enjoying taking care of someone. You’re less likely to procrastinate, particularly when it comes to taking care of family and home-related matters. The inner troubleshooting you’ve done in recent months will begin to pay off as you regain some sense of direction and determination in the weeks ahead. Also today, Mercury harmonizes with your ruler, Jupiter, boosting your mood. You might figure out a way to handle a private matter or a problem that has been weighing you down. A sudden memory may figure strongly and positively.

Capricorn

Taking the time to relax, refresh, and get in touch with your inner world can be especially rewarding at this time, dear Capricorn. You might come to a better understanding of why something happened in your past as Neptune turns direct after months of retrograde motion. In the weeks ahead, you’re more likely to share your ideas and inspiration with others and less inclined to procrastinate or question your goals and dreams. Some misconceptions may come to light, but you’re gaining more confidence in your creative process. A learning, writing, or transportation issue that has been in limbo can show signs of forward movement. You’ll rebuild your faith in your projects, learning, studies, and relationships. A Mercury-Jupiter aspect today can inspire new visions of your future that motivate and inspire you. The support of friends or incoming news and tips can figure strongly. It may be a good time to talk shop with associates or to run business ideas by friends.

Aquarius

With Neptune’s direct turn today, dear Aquarius, your goals and dreams seem more doable, and this lifts your spirits. Investing more of yourself in your projects and ideas can be exhilarating, filling you with a stronger sense of purpose. You’re likely to see your material affairs strengthening in the weeks ahead. Faith in your ability to handle your responsibilities builds, as well as in making the living you want or attracting the right resources to you. You’re putting more faith in your intuition with business and financial matters. A money matter that was stuck or in limbo may now release and progress forward. Certain projects look more hopeful. It’s a time of the reinvigoration of your spirit, imagination, and perhaps your more fanciful dreams or plans. While your relationship with your money, income, talents, and resources is an ongoing journey with several peaks and valleys as Neptune transits your solar second house, you’re headed towards one of the peaks! With Mercury sextile Jupiter today, making plans for your career, life path, money, business deals, and problem-solving are favored. You’re drawing upon your wisdom and experience to make better decisions.

Pisces

Neptune’s direct turn today contributes to a greater sense of well-being for you, dear Pisces. There can be forward motion in projects or personal plans in the weeks ahead, or you have more confidence and faith in your dreams. Something can inspire you to reach for greater heights. Neptune was retrograde since June, and its shift today can reinvigorate you on spiritual levels. You might approach the world in new, more empowered ways. Feedback now can provide you with the chance to make some necessary and helpful edits. You could arrive at new and improved ways of presenting yourself to others or approaching new things in your life. Today’s Mercury-Jupiter transit can produce some good news about education, publishing, business income, or friendship. You’re feeling readier to share happiness or helpful information! There can be some struggle with a decision today, but you’re coming out on top. Today’s transits encourage you to think in the most favorable terms. You have a bigger, more optimistic view of social and happiness goals.
