Today’s astrology brings a gentle but meaningful shift as Uranus forms a sextile with Neptune, creating space for fresh ideas, unexpected inspiration, and the kind of intuitive nudges that don’t always make logical sense—but still land. It’s not dramatic, stargazer, but it is potent if you’re paying attention. This is the kind of energy that whispers, not shouts. Think breakthroughs disguised as distractions, or realizations hiding in conversations that seem casual. The Moon continues to grow, and with that, so does our awareness. If something feels strangely magnetic today, lean into it. Not every door will look like one—but that doesn’t mean it won’t open.
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 transits poking at you today, Aries, you’re left to your own devices—which, let’s be honest, can go either way. Mars in Libra is still nudging you toward balance, but your instinct is to move faster than the room. Before you barrel ahead, ask: is this drive productive or just familiar? Not every challenge is worth charging into. Choose wisely.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Today’s waxing crescent Moon squares off with Venus, your ruling planet, creating tension between what you want and what actually feels good once you get it. Taurus, the craving might be loud, but the satisfaction could fall flat if it’s not rooted in something real. Before you indulge, ask whether it’s comfort or connection you’re chasing. Your heart knows the difference—listen.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
No big cosmic events today means you’re free to write your own headline, Gemini. But too much space can make your brain start pinballing if you don’t anchor it. This is a good day to pick one idea and actually finish it—not because you have to, but because you can. Let the satisfaction of completion surprise you. Your mind deserves a win.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
The Moon squares both Venus and Pluto today, sending emotional undercurrents straight through you. Add a Sun-Moon sextile and suddenly your heart’s a live wire—with no off switch. Cancer, you might feel pulled in opposite directions: desire versus control, comfort versus growth. You don’t need to solve it all right now. Just stay honest with yourself about what you actually need, not what’s easiest.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
With the Sun in Virgo forming a sextile to the Moon, today brings a welcome sense of ease between your head and your heart. Leo, this isn’t a green light to coast—it’s a rare moment where things might actually feel aligned. Use it. Say the thing, start the project, make the call. When your instincts and your logic shake hands, momentum follows.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
No planetary curveballs today, Virgo, which gives you a rare bit of breathing room. And while your instinct may be to fill the space with tasks, tweaks, or low-key worrying, consider this: stillness can be productive, too. Let yourself pause before solving things that aren’t problems. A little boredom might be exactly what your brain needs to reset its priorities.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
With the waxing Moon squaring your ruling planet, Venus, emotional static may pop up in places you usually smooth over. Libra, your desire to keep the peace could get tangled in unspoken expectations—yours or theirs. Instead of folding yourself to avoid tension, try naming what you actually need. You’re allowed to want harmony and honesty. One doesn’t cancel out the other.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
The Moon squares Pluto retrograde today, Scorpio, and you might feel that tension like a low hum in your chest. Old power dynamics or buried feelings could try to resurface—not to wreck you, but to remind you what still needs your attention. Don’t ignore the discomfort. You’re wired to handle emotional intensity. Let it speak, but don’t let it hijack your whole day.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
The ongoing square between Jupiter and Ceres challenges how you balance growth with nourishment—especially the kind you can’t hustle through. Sagittarius, you’re great at chasing what’s next, but today asks if you’re skipping meals—literal or emotional—to get there faster. Take stock of what actually sustains you. Your ambition’s impressive, but your well-being deserves a seat at the table too.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
There’s nothing dramatic in the sky today, Capricorn, which might feel like wasted potential—or a gift in disguise. With Saturn still retrograde, this is a good time to revisit a goal you’ve been silently beating yourself up over. What if it’s not about pushing harder, but realigning your expectations? You don’t need to be in motion to be making progress. Rethinking is work.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Uranus sextiles Neptune today, giving you permission to chase something weird, beautiful, or slightly out of reach—and yes, Aquarius, that’s a compliment. This alignment nudges your inner visionary to break free from tired thinking without completely torching the foundation. Let your ideas surprise even you. Just remember: rebellion’s cool, but transformation with purpose? That’s where your real magic lives.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Neptune retrograde receives a sextile from Uranus today, Pisces, which could spark an odd-but-exciting realization about something you’ve been dreaming on. The vision is still hazy, but there’s electricity in it now—something’s waking up. You don’t need a five-step plan yet. Just notice where your mind goes when it’s not being policed by doubt. That’s where your real intuition is waiting.
