Aries

Your planetary ruler, Mars, your ruling planet, aligns with Neptune today, dear Aries. In the spotlight this week is a new take on a past matter or a fuller sense of what you need from downtime. Your dreaming world is very active. You may be enjoying a sense of faith in letting things unfold naturally, and this calms you. You might recognize the need for some extra time for personal activities that nourish you on a spiritual or emotional level. You might otherwise get a strong feeling that you should be taking action on a long-standing problem, helping to clear the decks for new beginnings. In moderation, fantasizing can be therapeutic. There can be quite a bit of action in your private world or with your health. Your gut feelings are powerful now. Testing your boundaries can be in focus, and impulses can certainly be unusual but also very revealing.

Taurus

New ideas, plans, or visions of your future can inspire and motivate you today, dear Taurus. You’re looking for a little more from your life or meaning in your experiences as Mars aligns with Neptune in your solar eleventh house. There can be some ambiguity or mystery with a friend or associate, or an event, meeting, or special memory jumpstarts a whole new direction. This is a time for discovering or renewing a passion. While you can be enthusiastic about a new project or goal, be sure to check the details before going forward. Friendships or networking can introduce temptations or encourage unusual desires, and there can be some synchronicity happening now that takes you on a new path. You can be moved by a cause and feel especially passionate about a dream, belief, or idea.

Gemini  

With Mars and Neptune aligning in your career sector, dear Gemini, it’s a time for opening your heart to new possibilities, particularly regarding your life path, career, or status. You might consider ways to find more meaning in the work you do. Your energy levels are highly dependent on your motivation levels or a sense of purpose with this transit. Today’s influences encourage you to follow a goal or desire. Demands from work and others can be draining nonetheless, as you’re more in gear for imagining and envisioning what you want than for taking steps forward towards your goals. You may be tempted to escape responsibilities or to daydream the day away. A better option may be to tap into your imagination and conjure up images of how you’d like the direction of your life to go. Allow the path to unfold rather than try to push a particular route.

Cancer  

Your fantasy life is rich and colorful this week, dear Cancer, particularly with Mars and Neptune joining forces today in your spirit sector. You are personally magnetic, seeking and sharing inspiration. You seem to benefit as you let yourself live in the moment, just for now, allowing your intuition to guide you. While it’s not an ideal time to sign contracts or engage in work that requires attention to facts and figures, it’s a big day for creative expression. You may be longing to get away and could find yourself daydreaming of exotic activities today. You’re also looking for experiences that add more meaning to your life and that nourish your spirit. It’s a great time to discover a new interest or to open yourself to a new perspective that can motivate you for some time.

Leo  

Today’s Mars-Neptune alignment continues to stir up deep feelings and desires, dear Leo. You might feel inspired to put a fantasy into motion. You’re finding ways to bring more imagination, romance, or spirituality into your life. Setting too high or unrealistic expectations or reading too much into what your loved one says can temporarily feel good, but may not hold its weight. While some fantasy is good, if the regular world seems black and white in comparison, then you may be missing out on the opportunity to make your current world a better place. Otherwise, this is a wonderful time for magical sharing experiences. The desire to bond deeply with someone, or to make a spiritual connection to someone or something, can be powerful. There can be an increased appreciation for subtlety in your intimate life.

Virgo  

While you seem to be reorienting yourself early today and this takes energy, dear Virgo, you’re rebuilding as the day advances. You’ll enjoy experimenting with or entertaining new ideas and methods. The Moon heads into your partnership sector, and your need for others in general (or someone in particular) increases. There can be beneficial interchanges with a partner or good counsel that refreshes or relieves you. You might enjoy showing your appreciation for someone in your life. Rolling with the changes feels good. The key to success today seems to adapt to others’ needs, giving less attention to your own needs without ignoring them. An interpersonal problem may resolve now, or there is more openness to your interactions. The healing and compassionate sides of life are in stronger focus.

Libra

The helpful and nurturing side of your nature is called upon today, dear Libra. Feeling good about your home life is a desire or theme now, and if you’re feeling discontented, you’re especially motivated to make changes and improvements. The Moon aligns with expansive Jupiter in your home and family sector, encouraging special attention to these matters. You recognize the qualities and habits that support or delay your growth. You can be dreaming up long-term, master plans for a business or home, or you’re inclined to focus on making your current living conditions more joyful. You’re seeking a stronger sense of belonging or connectedness, and it’s a great time to get in touch with any needs and desires you’ve suppressed. Later today, the Moon enters your sector of joy, and then promptly aligns with Saturn there. You’re attracted to spending time doing productive things, finding it soothing and satisfying. You can have great success working on a creative project or refining a skill, studying, or adding structure or form to a project.

Scorpio  

The Moon joins with generous Jupiter in your communications sector today, dear Scorpio, helping to boost your mood and sunny up your disposition. You’re in terrific shape for guiding, connecting, and learning and warmth can figure strongly in your interactions. Your ideas and kindness are a big draw. It’s important to watch for overloading your schedule with Jupiter involved since its optimism can lead to a sense that you can handle more than is reasonable. You have a fabulous ability to show others where there’s common ground. You might also be feeling very enthusiastic about a project, idea, or interest. Later today, the Moon heads into your home and family sector for a couple of days, meeting Saturn. You’re likely to focus on the practical side of your domestic world or personal life. This transit puts the spotlight on your needs for safety, security, and familiarity. Gather your strength rather than exhaust yourself or scatter your energies now for best results. Because you’re more sensitive than usual, seek positive or calming atmospheres.

 

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
