Aries

There’s a big focus on matters of the heart or of comfort today, dear Aries, more from an analytic perspective than an emotional one. You see past relationships and expectations in a different light, and this is a time for redefining what you now want and need from your connections and projects. You might learn something new that gives you a little more clarity on a matter that has confused or even haunted you. Further information can surface that shines a light on a past issue, or there can be a connection made with someone from your past. Either way, you can feel as if you’re starting fresh, but it’s important to note that there will be more to the story later. In a general sense, it’s a strong time for a resolution to put negative attitudes behind you so that you can begin to pursue your real heart’s desires. There can be a chance to redo a significant project or to return to a project or research that once seemed to be a lost cause. Instead, you could recognize a line of study, personal interest, or another “calling” that’s a better fit for you.

Taurus

Retrograde Venus aligns with the Sun in your solar second house today, dear Taurus, and you might get a second chance or new look at a project, purchase, or relationship. The insight you gain now helps you begin anew and clears the slate for newly defined goals. You might find it easier than usual to let go of personal possessions or other attachments that are cluttering your life, both literally and figuratively speaking. Desires illuminate, and they can surprise you! A bit of detachment can help you understand what you truly value and need, and with this new information, you’re setting out on a new path. It’s probably not the best day for buying a high-priced item, but you may look at money matters from a new and helpful perspective. Turn your attention to things you already have and think about how you can rework or recycle them. With the Moon transiting your opposing sign all day, you’re in a better place than usual to see both sides of a situation. While this might point to indecision, you are also in the position to compromise, negotiate, and relate well. You may be acting as a mediator on an informal level, finding it both appealing and comforting to seek the middle ground.

Gemini  

The Sun aligns with retrograde Venus in your sign today, dear Gemini. It’s a great time for setting up new goals, intentions, and resolutions, particularly related to matters of the heart, pleasure, and satisfaction. You’ve been seeing yourself, your relationships, and your experiences in a new light in recent weeks with Venus retrograde, and this new perception affects your path going forward. You may be redefining what you want and need from your relationships starting now. You have considerably more impact than usual today with your charm, personal manner, and appeal, even if you’re a little aloof or distant on an emotional level as you review and reflect. At the same time, there’s a distinct focus on the past, and it’s not about dwelling or getting stuck there. Instead, it’s for checking the rearview mirror and making better choices for yourself going forward. Others crave the very qualities that you project quite naturally. Being patient now will bring you the most long-term rewards. You may be looking for sustenance through practical activities and your connection with the physical world with the Moon’s trine to Mars.

Cancer  

Retrograde Venus and the Sun come together today, dear Cancer, and the past illuminates in a meaningful way. Your focus may very well be on love and past relating patterns. What happened in the past can be a very tricky area, so tread softly, but consider viewing old matters in new ways. More information may well surface about a private issue that will help you make better plans and future decisions. You may be a little clearer about which actions to take based on recent revelations. For now, process and digest things rather than finalize — that’s what retrograde Venus is about, and we’re about halfway through. You’re in a wonderful position to start fresh on an emotional level. Also today, your sectors of spirit and life are emphasized and in good shape, boosting your enthusiasm and passion for your beliefs and ideas. The Moon spends the day in your sector of joy, encouraging you to follow your heart.

Leo  

There can be a distinct focus on matters of the past today, dear Leo, particularly related to projects, friends, or lovers. Retrograde Venus meets with the Sun, and new information about old issues can come to light. You might learn something about, or make contact with, someone from your past. Instead, you could see problem areas more distinctly, and this can help you develop a new approach to friendship matters, group connections, or long-term happiness goals and projects in the future. You are more able to see what is tripping you up, which can lead you on a path toward making improvements. You could have new motivation to go forward with different expectations and demands in these areas. In the coming weeks, there can be a chance to start fresh in a relationship based on revelations you have now. Also today, you are particularly enthusiastic about coming to an emotional understanding of yourself and someone you love. Private and intimate matters benefit.

Virgo  

You’re looking good today, and you’re inclined to make smart moves with business and money, dear Virgo, although you may want to watch for overdoing things, in general. You’re looking to get comfortable and settle in today. Your money situation, valuables, and comfort needs assume more importance with the Moon’s transit of your resources sector. Aim to avoid overdoing or overstating with a Sun-Jupiter challenge influencing the day. It’s best to watch for exaggeration or drama. The trick is to think in terms of improvement rather than expansion. Bigger is not always better, and this is especially so today. If you find your emotional center today, it can be an excellent time for connecting with a passion or ambition.

Libra

The Moon slips into your soul sector today, dear Libra, signaling it’s time to find ways to heal and regenerate. It’s a good idea to watch for too hasty or critical communications. Speaking vaguely or prematurely can also be a problem now. However, you can’t expect to control what others interpret, and true friends and supporters will give you the benefit of the doubt. If possible, take a break or slow yourself down to get your bearings. Pushing forward right now may lead to a series of minor frustrations. The balance between what’s idealistic and what’s realistic is not likely to be found now, but you’ll see the bigger picture soon. You may need to do some mental swinging before getting to the middle ground. A Sun-Chiron aspect, also active today, helps open you up and get you back to your usual reasonable self. Your ability to mix the small details with the big picture is strong now. Be generous and gracious about others’ input, and you’ll be in even better shape. Great energy is with us for learning from our mistakes.

Scorpio  

Today’s energies are excellent for investigation and getting to the heart of a problem, dear Scorpio. Still, there can be some misunderstandings or delays to navigate. A couple of minor but nagging influences can challenge your perceptions or delivery, and there may be some tensions revolving around opinions and ideas. Try to look beyond words chosen to the intentions behind the communication. You might decide to get your mind off people-problems by focusing on something more manageable and predictable. Patience is needed now! Fortunately, a Sun-Chiron aspect helps you express some of your more complicated feelings with relative ease right now. It’s a good time for efforts taken towards healing, either physical and emotional. It’s also a strong time for appreciation of your unique perspective or talents regarding work and health. Research can lead to new or improved methods to better enjoy your daily life, whether it’s about work or self-care programs.

 

Sagittarius  

You may want to immerse yourself in a project or a person today, dear Sagittarius, but practical responsibilities that need more immediate attention can challenge this. Still, this brief blockage may strengthen your resolve to work things through. Fortunately, a Sun-Chiron aspect active today helps balance things out. You are standing out from the crowd, particularly on creative and romantic levels. It’s a fine time to believe in your abilities and quietly go about your tasks. A partner or friend could point you in the direction of creative change and inspiration. Sharing activities, ideas, and entertainment with people you care about can be especially healing and could help cement a bond. People are attracted to your more unique qualities and talents. It’s a good time to recognize your vulnerabilities and work with them in positive ways. Avoid worrying about your abilities and simply do your best and enjoy yourself for best results now.

 

Capricorn 

The more open and generous your approach today, dear Capricorn, the more rewards seem in the offing. A Sun-Jupiter trine helps you see the benefits of current projects and boosts your outlook, in general. There may be a romantic attraction that motivates you. You’re interested in growing and improving in your creative pursuits and connections, as staying the same doesn’t appeal. Your best self shines through in what you’re doing, and the day has every potential to be empowering. You’re likely to crave a change of pace or a break from the usual routine. You may be teaching in some capacity now, or you could be learning something new and different that’s inspiring. A new channel for expressing yourself might open up, and a surge of enthusiasm brightens your day and your vision of the future. Later today, a Mercury-Jupiter aspect comes into play, and routine tasks are unlikely to satisfy you. Your mind is wandering, or you’re dealing with a multitude of distractions. You may be seeking a higher purpose or something more satisfying related to work or routines and habits. While there can be some difficulties prioritizing, if you let go of this need, you’ll be in fine shape.

 

Aquarius 

This can be a fine day for cooperating with others, dear Aquarius, and good feelings tend to be reciprocated. There is a strong sense of mutual harmony and a general boost in feelings of peace and security with and through others. Still, you’re seeking a little more meaning from your pursuits or relationships than usual today, and you’re happy to see signs of improvement and growth. It’s a good time for tapping into your intuition. Radiating an expectation of success with people you love does wonders for you now, but so can some introspection. Later today, a Mercury-Jupiter influence suggests you may have too much information to make the bigger decisions, or the news you receive now is missing key points or is misleading. You’ll feel less stress if you let go of the need to find definitive answers today. Enjoyable activities are most relieving.

Pisces 

Today’s good for dreaming up big ideas that help boost your confidence, dear Pisces, particularly on social levels and related to your interests or studies. It’s a fine time for gaining trust or developing and growing a relationship or even a project. The Sun in your communications sector harmonizes with Jupiter in your social sector, and conversations are generous, open, and meaningful, although somewhat meandering later today. Networking can bring rewards or opportunities. You are more invested in your relationships today, and it makes sense to approach your day with an open mind and heart. A Mercury-Jupiter aspect also active today suggests that you may have too much to think about to the point of stress, perhaps related to your personal/home life or friendships. Meaningful, spirited conversations are favored over small talk, which can fall short right now
