Friday’s astrology is relatively low-pressure, but not without depth. A square between the Moon and Mercury may cause a few crossed wires in communication, especially when emotions are trying to wear a mask of logic—or vice versa. With no major planetary shakeups, what we’re left with is internal: how we speak to ourselves, how we react when we’re misunderstood, and how often we try to make sense of something we simply feel. It’s a good day to pay attention to what you say out loud versus what you actually mean, stargazer. If something feels off, pause before you explain it away. Sometimes silence is the more honest response.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
Mars opposes Ceres today, and it might feel like everything nurturing is suddenly inconvenient—or in your way. Aries, slowing down to meet your own needs or support someone else’s won’t kill your momentum. In fact, it might be the thing that keeps you from burning out altogether. You’re wired for action, but sustainability requires care. Show strength by tending to what actually fuels you.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
There’s nothing pushing or pulling at you today, Taurus—which is exactly why it might feel harder to decide what’s worth your energy. When the sky’s neutral, your instincts matter most. Instead of forcing progress, check in with what feels steady. You don’t need to chase novelty to have a meaningful day. Stability is movement when it’s intentional. Let that be enough.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
The Moon squares Mercury today, Gemini, which can make your thoughts feel scrambled and your emotions come out sideways. You might talk in circles or overexplain without realizing you’re dodging what actually matters. Instead of trying to say it perfectly, just aim for honest. You don’t need to charm your way through discomfort—you’re allowed to just feel it. Start there.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
With the Moon squaring Mercury, your head and heart may not be on speaking terms today, Cancer. You might feel misunderstood—or worse, tempted to explain feelings that don’t even make sense yet. Resist the urge to translate everything into words. You process through emotion, not logic. Let yourself feel it first, and talk about it later. That’s not avoidance—it’s wisdom.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
No major aspects are tugging at your chart today, Leo, which gives you space to recalibrate—without an audience. You don’t always have to be “on” to be valuable. Virgo season invites you to get intentional about the small stuff: the habits, systems, or promises you’ve been meaning to follow through on. Your shine doesn’t fade when you go inward. It gets more focused.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
With the Moon squaring Mercury, the urge to explain yourself might clash with how you’re actually feeling. Virgo, don’t force your thoughts into a neat little row if they’re not cooperating. Some emotions can’t be problem-solved—they just want to be felt. You don’t have to understand everything to move through it. Trust that your insight will come once you stop chasing it.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
The Moon squares Venus today, which could make even the prettiest things feel slightly off-center. Libra, when the vibe’s not matching the vision, your instinct might be to smooth it all out—but sometimes the discomfort is trying to tell you something real. Don’t cover it up with charm. Ask yourself what you actually need before you start people-pleasing your way into resentment.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
With no fresh planetary shakeups, your ongoing sextile between Pluto retrograde and Neptune retrograde stays in play—quietly nudging you to look beneath the surface of what’s “fine.” Scorpio, this slow burn of transformation is subtle but relentless. Don’t ignore the pull toward something bigger just because it doesn’t arrive as an epiphany. The shift is happening. You’re not stuck—you’re simmering with purpose.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
The Moon trines Jupiter today, giving you a dose of optimism that actually sticks. Sagittarius, it’s not just about good vibes—it’s about finally seeing the path you’ve been squinting at. Whether it’s emotional growth, a new opportunity, or a shift in perspective, something clicks. Let it. You don’t always need to chase meaning. Sometimes it catches up to you when you stop running.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
With still no planetary noise aimed at you today, Capricorn, the real work is internal—and that’s where you thrive. Saturn retrograde invites you to check in with the standards you’ve set, especially the ones you never questioned. Are they helping or just weighing you down? You’re allowed to adjust the rules without losing your structure. Refinement is part of mastery, not a step backward.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
No major transits means the sky’s giving you room to experiment, Aquarius. That can either feel like freedom or like you’re floating without a map. The trick? Don’t wait for a lightning bolt. Follow your curiosity, even if it seems random. You’re built for disruption—but sometimes the biggest shift comes from finally committing to one of your many brilliant ideas.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
That long-running sextile between Neptune retrograde and Pluto retrograde keeps quietly working behind the scenes—rewriting your relationship to dreams, control, and everything in between. Pisces, it’s okay if you don’t have the language for what’s shifting. You’re not losing touch—you’re changing shape. Let the confusion be part of the process. Trust that what feels fuzzy now will eventually become a map.
