The Half Moon in Aries arrives with a pulse of urgency, pushing us to act on what’s been building since the New Moon. But with the Sun still in Cancer, emotion stays front and center—this isn’t mindless momentum, it’s movement with meaning. The Moon forms a trine to Mercury and a sextile to Venus, smoothing communication and softening edges. Words carry weight, but they also land with grace. Stargazer, you may feel torn between tending to your feelings and charging ahead. Today is less about choosing one over the other and more about letting both inform the next step. Progress doesn’t require perfection—it just needs honesty.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
With no major aspects hitting Mars, you’re driving your own momentum today, Aries. Mars in Virgo gives your fire a focus, but only if you choose it. If restlessness kicks in, don’t mistake it for a signal to start over. Small actions matter just as much as bold ones. The win today comes from finishing, not chasing.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
The Moon forms a sextile to Venus, bringing a smooth current to your emotional landscape, Taurus. You’re naturally tuned into what feels good, but today also highlights what feels right. Comfort shows up in the small stuff—an honest text, a clean space, a laugh that lands. Let beauty serve a purpose, not just a vibe. You deserve both.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
The Moon trines Mercury today, syncing thought and feeling in a way that helps you say exactly what you mean, Gemini. That internal buzz you live with gets a little more focus, a little more heart. Conversations land better. Ideas flow faster. Don’t waste this clarity talking in circles. Say the real thing. Someone’s actually listening this time.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
The Moon—your ruling force—forms a trine with Mercury and a sextile with Venus, making today feel more open, Cancer. Emotions are easier to name, and connections come with less weight. You don’t have to explain everything—just be present with what’s real. Let affection be simple. Let words be enough. Sometimes ease is the universe showing you where to lean in.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
With the Moon in Aries and your Sun brushing near squares with Chiron and Eris, something may feel slightly off, Leo. You’re used to being sure of yourself, but today might challenge your usual confidence. That’s not a failure—it’s feedback. If irritation shows up, ask what it’s pointing to. There’s gold in that friction if you stay open to it.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
The Moon trines Mercury, bringing clarity to your conversations and calm to your inner dialogue, Virgo. You spend so much time refining things, but today, the message lands without edits. Let that be enough. If something feels emotionally clear, trust it. You don’t need to solve every feeling. Just understanding it might be the win you didn’t know you needed.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
The Moon sextiles Venus today, helping you reconnect with ease, Libra. It’s a good day for beauty that feels like truth, not a mask. Your charm always shows up, but now it has roots—emotional, intentional, and a little more grounded than usual. Share what’s real, not what looks perfect. That’s where connection actually begins.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Pluto retrograde holds a steady trine with Neptune and Saturn, while a near square with Haumea challenges your rhythm. You may sense something shifting under the surface, Scorpio—but it doesn’t need to be named to be useful. Let insight move slowly today. You’re in a space where wisdom arrives through observation, not urgency. Trust what quietly refuses to fade.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Jupiter remains square to Makemake, asking you to reassess how your personal goals fit into the world around you, Sagittarius. You’re wired to chase growth, but today challenges you to think about impact, not just motion. Are your ambitions building something that supports others, or just expanding for the sake of it? Direction matters more than speed right now. Choose with care.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Saturn holds its conjunction with Neptune retrograde and a sextile with Pluto retrograde, pressing you to make meaning out of the mess, Capricorn. You’re built for discipline, but today the path forward might look less like a plan and more like a feeling. Let imagination into the process. You don’t lose control by dreaming—you gain direction shaped by purpose.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
With no major aspects tugging on Uranus today, you’re free to chart your own rhythm, Aquarius. That might sound like business as usual, but there’s value in paying closer attention to how you respond when the sky goes silent. What would you choose if no one expected anything? Let today be a blank page you don’t rush to fill.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Neptune retrograde continues its conjunction with Saturn and sextile with Pluto, giving form to your floating ideas, Pisces. This isn’t about locking yourself into a plan—it’s about learning what your dreams need to function. Boundaries aren’t limitations when they protect what matters. Let your intuition lead, but don’t be afraid to sketch a rough outline. Even magic benefits from structure.
