Some days feel like mixed signals with a side of truth serum. This is one of them. The Moon clashes with Mars, then teams up with Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune, before meeting Uranus and scrambling the schedule. Stargazer, emotions can spike, texts can get blunt, and plans can change without warning. Romance sits close to the surface, and so does irritation. Nobody needs to posture or pretend nothing matters. Ask the follow-up, set the boundary, and give yourself a minute before replying. If the day gets strange, let it register as useful information, not a verdict. We can handle the awkward parts without inflating them into a whole saga.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
Moon square Mars can turn small stuff into a test of pride. Mars in Aquarius wants to be right on principle; the Moon wants reassurance immediately. Aries, don’t pick a fight just to feel in control. Say what’s actually bothering you, then step away for ten minutes. A targeted response beats a reactive one, and you’ll like yourself more after the fact.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Comfort is tempting today, and it’s easy to confuse “treating yourself” with trying to fill a weird little hole in the day. Venus, your ruler, is in Pisces, so everything feels extra porous and sentimental. Taurus, choose one small pleasure and let it be enough. Reply to someone with real warmth, not autopilot. You deserve sweetness that doesn’t come with a receipt.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Your brain’s buffering, but in a dreamy way that weirdly works. The Moon in sextile to Mercury makes it easier to say the tender thing without making it cringe. With Mercury in Pisces, facts swim, feelings float. Gemini, write it down before it evaporates. One honest message beats twenty clever ones. People remember how you meant it, even if you play cool.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
You want something that feels real today: steady, tangible, not a guessing game. With your Moon in Taurus, comfort shows up in simple proof: a meal that hits, a plan that sticks, a person who follows through. Cancer, stop reading tea leaves in someone’s punctuation. Ask what you need, plainly. If the answer disappoints, at least you’re working with reality, not spirals.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
You’re used to being certain, but today’s energy asks for a softer grip. With your Sun in Pisces, intuition gets louder than ego and you can feel what people won’t say out loud. Leo, let someone see the unfiltered version, even if it’s messy. You don’t need a perfect line. You need real connection, and it’s closer than you think.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Your mind wants clean answers, but today’s vibe is more like a dream you can’t fully explain. The Moon in sextile to Mercury makes conversation flow, even with Mercury in Pisces making logic feel slippery. Virgo, don’t interrogate every sentence for flaws. Say the honest version and let it sit. If someone meets you with confusion, ask a simple follow-up. No self-punishment required.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Someone wants a verdict from you today: approval, forgiveness, a sign they’re still in your good graces. With Venus in Pisces, empathy runs high and boundaries get weirdly negotiable. Libra, don’t hand out access because you feel guilty for having standards. Kindness counts, but so does self-respect. If it’s a “maybe,” treat it like a no until it becomes a real yes.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
You’re picking up on what’s changing behind the scenes, and it’s not paranoia when you’re right. Pluto in Aquarius keeps exposing the weird power dynamics hiding in “normal” situations. Scorpio, don’t play detective in silence and then act shocked when you’re resentful. Ask the uncomfortable question while you’re still calm. If someone dodges, that’s the answer. Protect your peace without turning cold.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
You’re not in a “go bigger” mood, and that’s fine. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer has your growth happening in private, in memory, in the stuff you usually outrun. Sagittarius, check in with the part of you that wants safety before adventure. Send the text you’ve been avoiding. Clean one corner of your life so your future plans have somewhere to land. Home isn’t a trap today.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
For once, your emotions and your standards are on the same team. The Moon in sextile to Saturn supports follow-through, and Saturn in Aries backs you when you set a firm line. Capricorn, handle the one task you’ve been delaying, then put your phone down before it turns into a stress machine. You’re building something real. Today can count as proof you’re not falling behind.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
The day may come with a sudden mood change, like your system rebooting. The Moon conjunct Uranus can make feelings unpredictable, and Uranus in Taurus pokes at comfort zones. Aquarius, don’t talk yourself out of what you’re feeling. Change one small thing on purpose: take a different route, eat something new, draw a firmer line. Surprise feels kinder when you choose it.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Half-answers land in your lap today, and you can tell when something’s missing. The Moon in sextile to Neptune sharpens intuition, while Neptune in Aries adds nerve. Pisces, ask the follow-up without apologizing for it. Creative work and flirtation feel easier, but keep your boundaries clear. A simple “Can you explain that?” saves time, heartache, and weird guessing games for everyone involved.
