Aries

While Mercury and Venus are both retrograde, dear Aries, today holds forward-looking energy as your ruler, Mars, heads into harmony with lucky Jupiter. Also, a Sun-Node alignment can serve as a gentle push forward, reminding you to boost your skills and improve your communications, as this seems to be the path to fulfillment at this time. Your ideas, skills, and knowledge, or the pleasant and unique manner in which you communicate and connect, are in strong focus. Even with Mercury freshly retrograde clouding up some of your communications, there is an overarching theme in your life that involves improving your communication skills, and it’s strong today. It’s a time for slowing down enough to sensitize yourself more carefully to what others need and want. Learning and networking opportunities can emerge, and reviewing and editing old projects can be rewarding. It’s a time to make small but significant and quiet advances. Your charisma is strong, although with Mars in your privacy sector, it’s a little more mysterious than usual.

Taurus

You might discover a valuable resource you hadn’t noticed before, dear Taurus. You’re certainly learning about what you truly value and how much you can depend on yourself. With Venus retrograde in your resources sector and today’s Sun-Node alignment in the same area, it’s a good time to review how you’re managing your resources and talents. You may be looking to the past for answers. Information or inspiration that comes to you can help direct you on a path to more independence and a stronger feeling of security. This can also be a strong time for furthering a cause or helping a friend, as it can be an especially rewarding experience. You can be feeling especially passionate or enthusiastic about a dream, belief, or idea now.

Gemini  

Today’s energies tend to refuel your confidence, dear Gemini. The Sun aligns with the North Node in your sign, pulling up a sense of pride in yourself and where you’re heading. You’ve been exploring matters of independence, personal courage, and effectiveness, learning to overcome fears of going it alone or trusting your instincts. There can be connections made or sudden waves of realization that point you in the direction of growth and improvement along these lines. It’s a fine time to develop and nurture your independent spirit. What you need to put behind you becomes apparent, as it’s holding you back from being free and independent. Even so, cooperating with others comes naturally now. Combining your resources with a trusted someone can work to your benefit. Others tend to lend a hand, offering moral or financial support more readily. Your integrity is shining through, and this may be the reason. You recognize opportunities where you may not have seen them before. This is also a strong day for personal magnetism.

Cancer  

You’re seeking a better balance inside and out, dear Cancer, and you owe it to yourself to go there. Transits today point you in the direction of growth and improvement. You’re learning to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt or to put your faith in a larger plan. In the process, you may be healing, letting go, and forgiving something from the past. You could connect or experience synchronicities that point you in this direction. You can be inspired to move past a tricky matter. This can be a day of inspired practicality, but you’re also in demand socially. You could share a perspective or personal philosophy that brings a relationship to a higher level of understanding. It’s a strong time for lending a hand and accepting a hand as well. Enjoying different and non-routine activities helps refresh your spirit, and perhaps improves a bond. A mini-adventure can figure strongly and can be empowering with a Mars-Jupiter aspect connecting your partnership and spirit sectors.

Leo  

Today’s energies may seem to point you in the direction of new and exciting projects or other happiness goals, dear Leo. You’re learning to pay more attention to your dreams and wishes, and it’s a good time for improving your connection to others or your community and, in the process, the quality of your life. Friendships or networks tend to bring up learning experiences and opportunities to grow and improve. Today’s energies are also good for research or enthusiasm for getting to the bottom of a matter. The discovery of important information can be empowering, or there’s a special project you’re working on that now advances. Settling old disputes can figure strongly. Work can be exciting and motivating, or you’re putting in the extra effort to improve your health. Personal appeal is strong, and a spirit of competition spurs you into motion.

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
