The Moon continues its climb through Sagittarius today, amplifying the need for meaning in even the most mundane corners of life. A supportive trine to the Sun adds warmth and direction, making it easier to align feeling with purpose. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde in Leo scrambles messages but might just surface the truth beneath the noise. Stargazer, this isn’t a day for perfection—it’s a day for perspective. A long-term sextile between Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune suggests lasting change doesn’t always shout. It simmers. Let the energy move through you without forcing a conclusion. There’s insight in what lingers, even if it hasn’t spoken clearly yet.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
That restless hum under your skin? It’s not just impatience—it’s pressure building without direction. Aries, your instinct is to charge, but today calls for discernment. Not every provocation is worth the fallout. If someone tests your limits, step back before responding. Power isn’t always loud. Sometimes, restraint is the boldest move you can make.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Everything might feel a little more personal today, Taurus—even the small stuff. With Venus lounging in Cancer, your comfort zone becomes both a haven and a trap. You’re craving softness, but you’re also quick to dig in your heels. Ask yourself: are you being loyal to what feels good, or just refusing to let go of control?
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Mercury retrograde’s got your thoughts doing backflips, Gemini. It’s easy to confuse clever distraction with clarity, especially when your mind refuses to sit still. But today, the questions that keep resurfacing want your attention. You, Gemini, don’t need to solve everything at once—just pick one idea and follow it through. Curiosity is your gift. Don’t waste it chasing noise.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
The Moon’s waxing gibbous phase lights up Sagittarius today, nudging your comfort-craving nature into unfamiliar territory. Cancer, you’re ruled by the Moon—and with a Sun trine in play, you’re more in sync with your goals than you think. Let that tension between longing and expansion shape something real. Growth isn’t a betrayal of comfort. It’s an extension of it.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
With the Sun in your sign and trining the Moon, today brings a cosmic mirror—what you radiate returns in kind. Leo, people feel your presence more than usual, so lead with something you actually want reflected back. Pride is powerful, but so is softness. Give your passion some room to breathe. You’re already seen. Now show them what matters.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Mercury retrograde has you second-guessing every detail, Virgo—but maybe that’s not such a bad thing today. You’re excellent at finding flaws, but don’t forget the point: progress, not perfection. As a Virgo, you thrive when effort meets meaning. Let that guide your edits, your words, your choices. Something small you tweak now could shape everything down the line.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
With Venus in Cancer, comfort might look like nostalgia today—old playlists, familiar faces, that one scent that always gets you. Libra, you’re craving harmony, but don’t confuse peacekeeping with self-sacrifice. You’re allowed to want more than balance. You’re allowed to want joy. Take the risk of naming what you need, even if it feels too big to say aloud.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
That long-running sextile between Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn is working behind the scenes—but you feel it, Scorpio. Change is slow, almost surgical, and you’re noticing where control has worn you thin. As a Scorpio, your power comes from precision, not pressure. Today asks: what if strength looks like releasing what no longer responds to your grip? Let that question sit.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
The square between Jupiter and Makemake is poking at your ideals again, Sagittarius. You’re feeling pulled to show up for your beliefs, but you’re also bumping into the limits of what’s realistic. That tension? It’s asking for refinement, not retreat. Sagittarius, you don’t have to abandon your vision—just make sure the people around you actually hear what it is.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
With Saturn still fused to Neptune retrograde and harmonizing with Pluto, your usual pragmatism is bending toward something more abstract. Capricorn, you may feel conflicted between chasing structure and entertaining what-ifs. But you, of all signs, know how to build from ambiguity. Let your ambition flirt with imagination today. What you sketch in pencil now could soon deserve ink.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Neptune and Saturn are still in soft contact with Uranus, keeping your inner world in dialogue with the bigger picture. Aquarius, it’s tempting to zoom out—to intellectualize, detach, analyze—but today asks for presence. Even weird little moments deserve your attention. You don’t need to rebel to be original. Sometimes being fully present is the most radical move available.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Neptune sits retrograde in Aries, still tethered to Saturn and Pluto—inviting structure into your dreamscape. Pisces, the fantasies are still vivid, but they’re asking for scaffolding now. You’re the sign of possibility, but today wants progress. Let your instincts meet discipline. You, Pisces, can build something lasting from the fog—if you don’t talk yourself out of trying first.
