It’s the Sun’s last day in Cancer, and the skies are laced with mixed messages. The Moon joins Venus, making us crave sweetness, ease, and a little extra affection. A sextile to Mercury helps us talk about what we want—or at least inch closer to naming it. But tension simmers just below the surface, thanks to a square between the Moon and Mars. Expect tenderness and testiness to exist side by side. Stargazer, you might feel pulled between showing up with care and reacting with frustration. Try not to read too far into small slights. The emotional weather shifts soon. For now, choose grace where you can.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
A square between the Moon and your ruling planet, Mars, turns minor annoyances into major distractions, Aries. With Mars in Virgo, you might fixate on what isn’t working, especially in relationships, as Venus edges into tension. Not everything needs a fix. Sometimes presence matters more than precision. Let that be enough today, even for someone as driven as you.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
The Moon cuddles up with Venus in your sign today, Taurus, offering a moment of emotional ease—but that peace has a short fuse. Mars nears a square with your ruling planet, making you hypersensitive to anyone who moves too fast or talks too loud. Move at your own speed, but try not to bulldoze anyone who isn’t matching your pace.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
The Moon connects with retrograde Mercury and trines Ceres, softening the edges of a day that could otherwise feel scrambled. Gemini, your mind may be buzzing louder than usual, but this is a chance to speak from the heart instead of the head. Say what you mean. Say what you need. It’s easier to be understood when you’re being real.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
Your ruling Moon is busy today, Cancer—chatting with Mercury, hugging Venus, and squaring off with Mars. That mix could leave you emotionally overstimulated and mentally exhausted by noon. You’re craving comfort but might snap if anyone messes with your flow. Don’t let one sharp moment ruin a soft day. Protect your peace like it’s sacred, because for you, it is.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
As the Sun wraps up its time in Cancer, Leo, you’re walking a fine line between creative momentum and emotional burnout. With a near opposition to Pluto retrograde and a square to Haumea, power struggles and pushback could mess with your rhythm. But trines to Saturn and Neptune offer backup — lean on your discipline and your dreams. Both are valid fuel.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Mercury retrograde sextiles the Moon and trines Ceres, nudging you to soften your grip, Virgo. You’re usually the one fixing things before they break, but today’s energy asks you to respond instead of react. Let conversations meander, let needs be felt instead of solved. You’re allowed to be present without being productive. That, too, can be an act of care.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
The Moon conjuncts Venus while Mars edges into a square, and for you, Libra, that means sweetness with an undercurrent of friction. You might feel extra sensitive to tone, timing, or how someone looks at you mid-conversation. Resist the urge to overanalyze it all. Not every vibe is a verdict. Stay present, even when things feel emotionally out of sync.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Pluto retrograde squares Haumea today, challenging your sense of control over personal territory—physical, emotional, or otherwise. Scorpio, you’re no stranger to tension, but today’s comes from unexpected corners, especially where instincts clash with ideals. You can protect what matters without isolating yourself in the process. Not every boundary needs to be a fortress. Sometimes a doorframe will do just fine.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Jupiter still squares Makemake today, challenging your connection to community and how you show up within it. Sagittarius, your independent streak is legendary, but today you may feel oddly tethered to the needs of others. That’s not a flaw—it’s perspective. You’re allowed to crave freedom and still care. Not every adventure starts with escape. Some begin by showing up on purpose.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Saturn stays close to Neptune retrograde, and Capricorn, that pairing pulls you between structure and surrender. You’re used to driving the ship, but today might call for letting the current carry you a little. It’s not failure to rest, recalibrate, or dream. It’s part of building something real. Even you, Capricorn, are allowed to drift now and then without losing course.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
With Uranus near a trine to Pluto retrograde and still sextile to Neptune and Saturn, the skies support slow-burn breakthroughs. Aquarius, you might feel strangely grounded in your weirdness today, like your contradictions are making more sense. Let that clarity guide your next move. You’re not lost, you’re expanding. And not every map comes with instructions. Some you write yourself.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Neptune holds its retrograde conjunction with Saturn while forming near sextiles to Uranus and Pluto retrograde—heavy hitters for a sign that already feels everything. Pisces, today invites you to meet structure without shrinking. You don’t have to abandon your imagination to feel safe. Let your dreams grow roots. You’re allowed to build something real without losing what makes you magic.
