Aries

Mars in your work and health sector can have the effect of pumping you up for getting things done these days, dear Aries, and it’s helpful. Today, however, Mars meets a grumpy Saturn, and a hurdle may seem to appear that you need to clear before pushing forward. It may be best to take a break if it’s possible. If you’re feeling a little out of step, non-competitive and undemanding activities may be better for you temporarily. It’s not easy to express yourself with confidence or smoothness under this brief transit. Make adjustments and refinements rather than concrete decisions for best results. Wait for a better climate to pursue those things most dear to your heart. It’s a good idea to be especially vigilant with contracts, health, and work matters. You’ll find that your ability to get along well with others in many ways determines the success of the day, and as it advances, you can find it far more pleasant to connect and enjoy.

Taurus

There can be some see-sawing energy or motivation today, dear Taurus. If you’re feeling some inner chaos, it’s probably better not to take on too much in the outside world. Take your time coming to conclusions, as today’s energies tend to confound or frustrate in spots. However, the adjustments you make now can lead to a stronger position. It’s patience that serves you best, as obstacles or restrictions, likely related to your responsibilities, career, or superiors, can present themselves and seemingly slow you down. Arguments entered into today tend to reach stalemates or leave very little room for growth. Sticking with what you do well can be helpful now. An awkward but minor aspect between Mars and Saturn points to slightly off confidence and, by extension, poor timing. However, as the day advances, you might come up with creative ways of achieving your goals.

Gemini

The first half of the day is less than ideal for timing, dear Gemini. The current transit of Mars in your chart encourages a focus on your personal life, attention to safety and comfort, and a desire for more familiarity and predictability. Its awkward aspect with Saturn today highlights the need to attend to outside responsibilities and your attention to boosting your skills or learning something useful. At first glance, you may not see a way to strike a compromise between the two drives. Due to this divided feeling, it may not be the best time for confident decision-making. Aim to make small changes, improvements, adjustments, and edits instead. The day flows a little better as it advances, although it remains a little lacking in flow and decisiveness.

Cancer  

Today’s Venus-Uranus transit can throw you a bit off-center by a money or ownership matter, dear Cancer, or you can feel pulled out of your comfort zone by unexpected events. It’s temporary and can lead to good things, but it can also feel a bit disruptive. Instead, this influence can pull up an inner conflict between wanting to play it safe and experimenting with something new. Interruptions or schedule changes can figure strongly now, but they probably shouldn’t be taken to heart. If the urge to buy something comes up suddenly, try to wait it out because your appetite for new things can fade almost as quickly as it comes on and may only be about discontent. You might need a change in your routine for some emotional refreshment, which can be a wake-up call. As the day advances, it’s easier to tap into whatever inspires you and pour your energy into it. Also today, the Moon moves into your sign, and your heart tends to rule your head. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to unwind with a New Moon set to occur in your sign tomorrow.

Leo  

You enjoy a better ability to focus on the positive and uplifting elements of your life, dear Leo. A Mercury-Venus parallel today and tomorrow helps improve cooperation and promotes harmony. You tend to enjoy the company of others and a healthy rapport with them. Areas of imbalance in your life or relationships can be more evident, and you’re quick to correct them. Today is also suitable for keeping abreast of current happenings and gaining some new perspectives on a matter. You’re more likely to become inspired by the feedback you receive from sharing ideas, skills, talents, or knowledge with others. You’re connecting with your own needs for happiness, whether about a cause, a relationship, or personal interest.

Virgo  

There is much to absorb and take in today, dear Virgo, and you’re especially open to talking things through and listening to incoming advice and information. You’re inclined to do more thinking and making decisions about your life direction, major life transitions, business, or career path. Problem-solving, list-making, and sorting things out are in focus. Even so, there’s a real interactive and sociable element to the day that’s pleasant and engaging. Healing energy is with you, but standing out now is the reasonable tone of the day. It’s a fine time to collaborate and generate ideas, but you tend to reserve judgment for when you’ve had some time to process and digest everything.

Libra

In the first half of the day, people seem to require more care and sensitivity, dear Libra, and there is a strong inclination for misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Keep apologies short, if necessary. With Venus at the top of your chart these days, you’re making it easy for others to respect you. Authority figures, including bosses and parents, are likely to see you in a good light. Someone could support, sponsor, or otherwise endorse you, particularly as the day advances and Venus moves into harmony with Uranus in your sector of support and others’ resources. It’s a good time to flirt with new ideas, concepts, and activities. Freeing yourself from self-limiting beliefs of what you can or cannot do is what Uranus in this sector of your chart is about, and right now, this process helps you present the best version of yourself to others.

Scorpio  

Tensions, both internal and with others, are possible in the first half of the day, dear Scorpio. Someone might misunderstand your opinions or take them personally. Avoid explaining yourself to people who are acting narrow-minded but take the time to make things right with those who deserve your attention. Dissatisfaction might only resolve given a little time. As the day advances, you feel considerably freer to express yourself in new ways. It’s a beautiful time for a boost in a relationship. Keeping things fresh and exciting helps any relationships that have become predictable. People are drawn to your liveliness, charm, ideas, and wit today. Sharing ideas, philosophies, and beliefs can be mind-expanding and pleasant. Doing something offbeat or outside of the usual routine can be integral.

Sagittarius  

In the first half of the day, people can quickly feel slighted and are easily offended, dear Sagittarius, with a Venus-Chiron aspect in play. It may be better to avoid drama right now, which can very easily escalate. Instead, take more time to understand what it is you truly want. Trying to explain your way out of something is likely to be a waste of time right now. If rhythms in relationships are off temporarily, it’s best not to let them define your next move. As the day advances, you feel lighter and freer, particularly on an emotional level. You can experience a pleasant degree of detachment later today, and this is a welcome detour. It allows you just enough comfort and emotional distance from matters to enjoy yourself fully. Complicated issues seem far less complex or confusing. Loosening up your schedule helps you relax and have fun.

Capricorn 

With today’s Solar Eclipse clearing the path for lifestyle improvements, dear Capricorn, ideas or insights gained now can help direct you along these lines. You’ll be taking charge of your work, daily routines, self-care programs, and health. However, there is some need to review before you make a fresh start. You may want to breathe some new life into old routines, for example. Perhaps due to a dilemma, a reinvigoration process begins, whether it’s about taking better care of yourself or recommitting to a work project. Aim to be content to be out of step or anonymous, just for now, as this can help you in the long run since it allows you to observe and redirect plans. Be sure to pace yourself and don’t jump into something without thinking. A new direction will come, and you don’t have to push for it. Instead, you’ll feel the motivation and courage build slowly but surely, eventually reaching a point where you’re in charge and confident in what you’re doing.

Aquarius 

To clear the way for a fresh start after today’s Solar Eclipse, dear Aquarius, you may need to take care of some unfinished business. Those projects or associations that have been holding you back from expressing your authentic, creative self may come under scrutiny. This eclipse can serve as a strong push to start anew regarding a romance, creative project, or the pursuit of joy and pleasure in your life. As you review old ideas, new perspectives can unveil. There could be a reconnection with an old friend that gets you thinking or viewing a past relationship in a new way. This helps set up the new, slate-clearing energy of this eclipse. It can also be a time for bringing back old hobbies and pastimes. Since this powerful New Moon occurs in your sector of romance, creative self-expression, recreation, children, and hobbies, events happening now and in the coming weeks set you up for new beginnings in one or more of these areas of life. You are likely to attract positive attention from others, especially romantically or creatively speaking. Allow the process to unfold, and keep in mind that eclipses can drain your energy temporarily.

Pisces 

If you’ve been undecided about a project launch, a move, or a personal change, dear Pisces, the energy of today’s Solar Eclipse can nudge you forward. However, take your time with brand new beginnings and aim to strategize and plan. Keep in mind that any backtracking you need to do now will contribute significantly to the strength of plans and future ventures. There can be some critical renovations and improvements in your home or with family relationships on the horizon. A fresh start may arise from a feeling of being in the dark or in limbo, necessitating a new approach. Whatever the reason, you’re starting anew with your home or personal life, family, or needs for nurture, comfort, and safety. It can involve excavating and looking to past patterns to better understand where you want to go. It’s time to assess what may have held you back from thriving, mainly related to your career and domestic world, and how you balance your time between them. The coming weeks are powerful for taking charge of your home life, attention to matters of security and safety, connecting with family and your own emotions. This eclipse can serve as a cosmic nudge to find your roots, learn your worth, build your sense of security, and focus on improving your support system or base of operations. There can be the need or desire to put your personal life first now, and changes may be afoot.
