You could feel quite a bit of pressure to manage a situation as an old problem re-emerges today, dear Aries. Retrograde Mars forms a square to Pluto this morning, and you can feel examined or uncomfortable as something turns up that requires managing. Do your best to react in a calm, detached manner if you’re feeling off-balance because there is a tendency to react too quickly and emotionally that doesn’t do you any favors. Stress comes today if you push processes that should be allowed to unfold over time. If you can manage to harness your energy to do something creative or productive, you could move mountains. Consider the possibility that dialing down your ambitions, for the time being, could help reduce excess stress.
Taurus
There can be more restless energy to manage in the first half of the day, dear Taurus, after which you’re more likely to relax and let go of tensions. It’s not the best time to take shortcuts or vent your frustrations with Mars forming a square to Pluto. A difference of opinion could get you more riled up than usual, or a recurring problem needs your attention, and it’s hard to do or think of much else. You might find yourself fixated on an unresolved, frustrating matter. You’re likely to feel unprepared, and the key to easing pressures is to identify areas where you’ve been micromanaging or attempting to control and then consciously ease off them a little. It can be challenging to focus or concentrate with so much on your mind, but it becomes far easier to diffuse and decompress as the day advances.
Gemini
Transits today tend to turn your attention to your deeper issues, dear Gemini, or to a lingering problem. It may be time to get rid of a habit that just doesn’t work in your favor, but it’s not straightforward, and baby steps may be necessary. Perhaps it’s a superstition, fear, or another attitude that gives the power up to something or someone else instead of keeping it for yourself. People can be stubborn today, and areas where you feel drained of energy, time, or money become more prominent. Try to keep your wits about you and avoid short-sighted decision-making. If power dynamics are an issue, perhaps there are ways to manage and share power going forward. Today’s energies are complicated, but reactions to problems can be highly revealing. Remind yourself that you can’t control the course of a relationship, or how you’ll feel with a person. While you may do some battle with frustrations or resentments, it’s easier to process everything as the day advances. Priorities may be hard to decide upon, but giving yourself some time can help things fall into place.
Cancer
You can do some significant inner work with the Moon continuing to transit the sign behind yours, dear Cancer. However, the Moon enters your sign today, and you crave feelings of being connected to the world around you. Transits today leave you feeling a bit unsettled. You’d be wise to be wary of indulgences or activities that compromise your values. It’s all too easy to misrepresent yourself or react to something that you might ignore another day. While indecision can be uncomfortable, it’s probably better than making poor decisions. Don’t push if you don’t have to today, as timing can be a little off and tension can be sparked easily in your relationships. This is because people are focusing too much on what they want and neglecting to see the other side. Be patient, but don’t get pulled into game playing that might sap you of energy that you can better use elsewhere.
Leo
Disagreements can happen more easily today and early tomorrow, dear Leo, with tricky aspects involving Venus today and a Mars-Pluto square tomorrow. Issues right now may not be explicit or overt! There is a tendency to keep things to yourself or to gloss over problem areas, but tensions emerge regardless. Temporarily, it may not be easy to see your desires clearly as you may be fixating on what you don’t have or short-term goals that are not particularly satisfying. Venus is currently transiting your sector of money and values–a generally good omen for the material side of things. However, money worries are possible and may be useful if they prompt you to make adjustments. Instead, you might wrestle with whether to stick with tradition and familiar situations or to branch out. If a disagreement about a particular belief leaves you more than just mildly frustrated, consider whether it’s triggering something deeper. Working on the source of problems can be complicated now, but ultimately rewarding. Be patient.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your solar ninth house, dear Virgo, stoking your curiosity and desire to discover. You may want to explore something new as you seek out a little more meaning. Pluto turns direct after over five months of retrograde motion. Your enthusiasm is likely to return for intellectual interests, hobbies, learning, studies, and creative projects in the weeks and months ahead. You’ve gained more insights into relationships, love, and your creative desires or pursuits, and you begin to see ways to apply them. Romantic feelings, personal interests and projects, and creative pursuits are life departments that get a nice forward boost now. Even so, this week, you might feel some pressure or worries along these lines as the shift happens. Things can temporarily feel overwhelming, but this is only your way of adjusting to the changes.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your solar eighth house, dear Libra, and you continue to go within for some healing introspection. As much as you may want to now, it’s important not to rush a financial or intimate matter. Also today, Pluto ends its retrograde cycle that lasted over five months. The shift itself can feel a little dramatic, or you can feel pressure as it happens this week. However, things will soon take off, particularly in financial, domestic, and family matters. Your relationships with family and family roles are changing, and your determination to resolve challenges is building. Motivation and take-charge energy increases. Acknowledge the need to make changes and improvements for best results now, and own it! Home-related projects might unblock or gain momentum. Letting go of something that’s been dragging you down may be part of this energy.
Scorpio
The Moon continues its transit of your work and health sector, dear Scorpio, and you’re in good shape for taking care of details. Relationships and your social needs come into stronger focus as the day advances. It’s a good time of the lunar month for giving close relationships special attention. You’re seeking more balance and perhaps some feedback. It can be stimulating and rather straightforward to come to a nice you-me balance in your relationships today. Others appreciate your sincerity. A theme of cooperation, friendliness, and openness is with you, although it can be difficult to relax your mind later today. It may be best to avoid setting things in stone. Aim to take your time digesting everything before making conclusions.
Sagittarius
Earlier today is good for entertainment and a playful, cooperative mood, dear Sagittarius, but you prefer not to idle as the day advances. A more purposeful mindset kicks in with the Moon’s move into your solar sixth house. You’re ready to put the work in with the Moon’s move into your work and health sector for a couple of days. You can quite enjoy yourself as you take care of things. It’s a fine day for easy productivity. As much as the urge to get cracking on duties, chores, work, or health routines is with you, there can be some doubts later today. You can quickly tire of anything that feels run-of-the-mill or lacking in magic and poetry at the moment with Mercury challenged. Look for creative solutions since it can be hard to focus on priorities if you have too many of them.
Capricorn
You’re inclined to keep to yourself early day, dear Capricorn, but grow into a desire to share or express yourself. Fortunately, you’re received well. You tend to seek more interaction with the Moon’s move into Taurus and your solar fifth house. The Moon transits a sector of the chart for only two to three days, but it can serve to remind you of important needs. This particular transit encourages attention to self-expression, creativity, fun, pleasure, and leisure or entertainment. More than usual, you’re emotionally invested in your heartfelt pursuits. Venus harmonizes with the Moon, Saturn, and Chiron, boosting your social confidence and your personal outlook. You could be itching to break out of your usual schedules and habits. Later today, your attention span may be short, so aim to avoid taking on too much. Take this time to understand yourself and your feelings, but avoid making big decisions now.
Aquarius
You can find yourself busy although not very focused as the Moon finishes up its transit of your communications sector today, dear Aquarius. The Moon then enters your solar fourth house, and you crave more quiet, calm, comfort, and familiarity. You’re in particularly good shape for bringing more balance to your domestic world, especially with help from Venus. Pleasurable, restful, and simple activities are tonics for you now. Finding your center is important at this point in the lunar month. Domestic issues tend to override other concerns as the day advances. Because you’re particularly sensitive to chaotic environments, a Mercury-Chiron aspect coming into play tonight can put a damper on your outlook temporarily. Letting go of a tendency to overthink can be hard to do, but worth the effort.
Pisces
A practical frame of mind continues early day as the Moon finishes up its transit of your solar second house, dear Pisces. With this transit, you tend to prefer keeping things status quo, although the energy of yesterday’s Full Moon is stirring a desire to make improvements. As the day advances, things pick up pace with the Moon’s move into your communications sector. Venus has just begun its transit of your partnership sector, helping you attract helpful or pleasant connections. Today’s good for satisfying conversations and interesting ideas. You’re inclined to want to reach out. A bond might strengthen through sincere communication. It can be a time of making peace with someone. Mental disconnects or doubts later today can slow you down just a little, but you’ll benefit from doing so.
