Mercury retrograde continues to meddle with communication, timing, and patience, especially as it nears a trine with Neptune—an alignment that favors imagination but muddies the facts. Meanwhile, the Moon enters Aquarius and makes easy connections to Mars, Uranus, and Saturn, giving us a rare mix of motivation, innovation, and emotional steadiness. There’s potential here to act on impulse without wrecking the foundation beneath our feet. For you, stargazer, this could mean recognizing where structure supports freedom instead of fighting it. Tension still lingers in a few key squares, but today favors progress that doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
A trine between the Moon and your ruling planet, Mars, gives you a straight shot at whatever’s been on your mind. Energy flows without much resistance, but Aries, that doesn’t mean bulldozing your way through. Let instinct lead without blowing past the obvious signs. You don’t have to force a moment to prove you’re built for it.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Your ruling planet, Venus, creeps toward a square with Makemake, pulling focus toward your connection with the world outside your comfort zone. Taurus, it’s easy to double down on what feels safe—but growth often shows up dressed like inconvenience. If something interrupts your flow today, pause before resisting. It might be exactly what you’ve been needing to notice.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
You’re used to thinking fast, Gemini, but today might feel like your mind’s caught in molasses. Mercury retrograde in Leo can scramble even your sharpest ideas, especially when ego sneaks into the mix. Try not to over-explain or chase the perfect response. Say what you mean, then let the silence do some of the talking for once.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
The Moon moves into Aquarius and forms easy angles with Mars, Uranus, and Saturn, nudging you out of your shell, Cancer—but gently. Today’s emotions feel less tidal, more observational. You can stay soft without getting swept. Try experimenting with a new approach, even if it’s small. Tradition grounds you, but you’re allowed to surprise yourself once in a while.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
You’re in your element, Leo, and the ongoing trine between the Sun and Ceres reminds you what kind of care actually fuels you. You don’t need everyone’s praise today—just a sense that you’re being true to yourself. If something feels off, it’s probably because you’ve been downplaying your own needs. Don’t. This moment is made for you. Take it.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Mercury retrograde is doing its usual mischief, but today, Virgo, it’s less about tech glitches and more about second-guessing yourself. You might find your thoughts spiraling when they used to just land. Don’t let the need to be right override the need to be real. Say the thing, even if it’s messy. Especially if it’s messy.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Venus nearing a square with Makemake might highlight some tension between how you care and how you’re cared for. Libra, your instinct is to keep things smooth, but that doesn’t mean suppressing what you need. Balance isn’t about avoiding friction—it’s about knowing when to speak up. You’re allowed to ask for more, even if no one else is.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
You might catch yourself gripping too tightly today, Scorpio—onto a plan, a grudge, a version of yourself you’ve outgrown. Pluto retrograde squaring Haumea highlights where control turns into resistance. Let change show up messy. You don’t have to solve or fix it right away. Sometimes your real power is in choosing not to react at all.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Some part of you wants to run today, Sagittarius—toward a solution, away from a feeling, straight into a distraction. But the square between Jupiter and Ceres reminds you that nourishment isn’t always convenient. Growth doesn’t always feel good right away. Pause before chasing the next thing. What if the discomfort is just the signal that something real is happening?
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
The Moon forms a sextile to Saturn today, giving you a chance to move through responsibility without feeling buried by it. Capricorn, you function best when there’s a point to the pressure—and today, there is. Even the small wins feel earned. Let that satisfy you instead of reaching for more. You’re allowed to feel good about what’s already working.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
With the Moon in harmony with Uranus, there’s a flash of recognition today—something clicks, Aquarius, and suddenly what felt too weird to explain now makes perfect sense. Don’t underestimate the value of your strange ideas. You weren’t made to fit a mold. Let the world bend around you for a change, even if it takes a minute to catch up.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
A near trine between Neptune and retrograde Mercury opens a door you weren’t expecting, Pisces—not a big dramatic one, but something small and oddly specific. Pay attention to passing thoughts or things said in half-jokes. Your intuition is trying to translate something real. You don’t have to make sense of it right away. Just stay open long enough to catch it.
