With the Moon shifting into Scorpio, emotional territory feels a little less optional and a lot more intense. A clash with Pluto presses on buried control issues, while a trine to Venus in Cancer offers a softer landing—if you’re willing to be real about what’s actually going on. In Leo, Mercury retrograde sits exactly with the Sun, amplifying internal monologues and spotlighting the gap between what we feel and what we say. Stargazer, the day asks for both honesty and restraint. Not everything needs to be said out loud, but ignoring it altogether? That’s where things tend to fester. Let your truth breathe without letting it bite.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
You don’t need a reason to prove yourself today, Aries—just a reason not to. The pressure to act, respond, or react might feel like momentum, but it’s also just noise. Mars in Virgo sharpens your focus, but it can also inflate minor details into imaginary crises. Don’t confuse effort with progress. Your presence is already plenty.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Taurus, something clicks into place today—not because you push, but because you stop resisting what already feels good. A Moon-Venus trine smooths out emotional static, giving your need for connection a warm, steady place to land. Let people surprise you. You don’t need a big reveal or a grand gesture. Just a shared moment that feels like home.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Gemini, Mercury’s retrograde conjunction with the Sun highlights the difference between what’s been said and what’s actually true. This isn’t about over-explaining or rushing to fill space—it’s about trusting your voice even if it shakes a little. If something keeps coming up, there’s a reason. Revisit, revise, and let the clarity come through the mess.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
The Moon enters Scorpio and forms a trine to Venus, making emotional connections feel effortless—until they’re not. Pluto retrograde adds friction, especially around trust, control, or what’s been left unsaid. Cancer, if you feel yourself closing off or clinging tighter, notice it without judgment. Some things need space, others need honesty. It’s a good day to know the difference.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
Sun meets Mercury retrograde in your sign, Leo, which can turn confidence into conviction—or self-centeredness into a communication jam. You’re lit up, yes, but make sure you’re also listening. People aren’t props in your spotlight, even if it feels like they’re orbiting you. If something gets lost in translation, humility may be the thing that actually wins the room.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde has a way of surfacing what’s been muttered under breath—especially for Virgo. This isn’t about correcting others, it’s about examining the assumptions driving your own words. If conversations feel off, they probably are. Resist the urge to fix it immediately. Let it breathe. Understanding will land more clearly once everyone’s stopped rehearsing their lines.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Venus in Cancer brings softness to the surface, and Libra, this could mean your usual armor isn’t quite fitting right. With a Moon-Venus trine opening space for shared vulnerability, connection feels a little easier—but only if it’s real. Don’t play nice to keep the peace. Say what matters, even if your voice shakes while saying it.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
A square between the Moon and Pluto turns up the volume on tension that’s been lurking just beneath the surface. Scorpio, this isn’t about playing detective—it’s about noticing where the emotional charge is pulling you and asking why. You’re not wrong for wanting control, but not everything needs your grip. Sometimes the power move is simply letting go.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
There’s friction in the sky, and it’s pushing back on your usual optimism. Sagittarius, when Jupiter squares Makemake, it can challenge your beliefs about progress—especially the kind you assume should feel good. Growth won’t always be smooth, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Keep your compass close. The road may wind, but the direction still matters.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
You don’t have to have the whole vision locked in to make steady progress. Capricorn, with Saturn still conjunct Neptune retrograde, long-term plans may feel murkier than usual—but your discipline still counts. Stay grounded in what you know works, even if some of the finer details are still rearranging themselves in the background. Let the unknown take its time.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
You’re not imagining the pressure to evolve, Aquarius—it’s real. Uranus still holds a loose trine with Pluto retrograde, pushing transformation from the inside out. You might feel pulled between reinvention and resistance, especially around things that once defined you. Let go of what’s expired. No need to prove your independence; just keep showing up as someone who’s never needed permission anyway.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
The world feels louder when things inside are shifting, Pisces. With your ruling planet still in close conjunction to Saturn, it’s not about escapism—it’s about accountability. You’re being asked to ground your dreams in something sustainable, even if that means slowing down. Let yourself be a little lost today. That’s usually where the most honest maps start forming.
