The Moon’s entry into Taurus today brings a mood that’s equal parts stubborn and sensual. Emotions want to be felt slowly, if at all. Squares to Pluto and Mercury challenge that patience, introducing power plays or pressure to explain something that’s still forming. Mercury sextile Mars gives thoughts momentum, so stargazer, expect words to carry more weight than usual—yours and theirs. Venus square Ceres adds emotional friction around caregiving, and boundaries may feel tight or unspoken. Some of us will feel called to fix what isn’t ours to fix. Others may avoid helping altogether. The key is knowing where your energy is wanted versus where it’s simply being extracted.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
Your words hit different today, Aries—thanks to a Mercury–Mars sextile that sharpens your focus and timing. You don’t need to overexplain or dominate the room. Say what you mean, say it once, and let the silence do the rest. You’re not here to convince anyone. You’re here to move things forward. Precision is the flex. Let them catch up.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
A square between Venus and Ceres stirs something under the surface—maybe resentment, maybe fatigue. Taurus, when care starts to feel transactional, that’s your cue to check in with your own needs. You don’t have to keep giving just because you’re good at it. Nourishment goes both ways. If something feels off, it probably is. Don’t ignore your own hunger.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
You’re quick on your feet today, Gemini, but that speed might trip you if you’re not watching where you’re headed. A square between the Moon and Mercury adds friction mid-thought, while a Mercury–Mars sextile sharpens your delivery. Speak with intention, not reflex. The right words will land best when they come from presence—not from panic or performance.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
As the Moon enters Taurus, you’re craving comfort—but with squares to Mercury and Pluto, the emotional undercurrents are trickier than they appear. Cancer, not every mood needs to be explained, and not every conversation needs a resolution right now. Let things settle before you decide how you feel. Safety comes from within today, not from being understood.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
You’ve got momentum today, Leo—and this time, it’s coming from something real. The Sun trines Chiron and Eris, giving you both the confidence to speak your truth and the backbone to stand by it. You don’t need to sugarcoat your perspective to keep things smooth. Honesty with intention is still leadership. Let people see the whole you. It’s time.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
You’re sharp today, Virgo—but that sharpness cuts both ways. Mercury’s sextile to Mars gives you precision, but a square from the Moon could make it harder to read the emotional room. Be mindful of tone. You can be honest without being harsh. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s impact with care. Say it well, then step back and let it land.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
There’s tension between care and responsibility today, Libra, as Venus squares off with Ceres. You might feel like you’re giving from an empty cup—or worse, giving just to keep the peace. Step back. Rebalance isn’t found through overextending. It’s found through honesty. Ask yourself if your kindness is rooted in connection or in fear of disappointing someone. Then adjust.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
The Moon squares Pluto retrograde today, and something might hit a little too close to home. Scorpio, you’re great at sensing power shifts, but not everything needs to be strategized or shielded. Let yourself feel what you feel, even if it’s messy. Control can wait. Today’s strength is in honesty—not the polished kind, the kind that cracks something open.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
A square between Jupiter and Ceres pushes on your need to do more, give more, be more—and it’s exhausting. Sagittarius, your value isn’t tied to how much you produce or how positive you stay. Rest is not a reward. You’re allowed to pull back and still be worthwhile. Let the pause speak as loudly as your momentum usually does.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
You’re still working under Saturn’s long-term sextile to Pluto retrograde, and today it shows in subtle pressure to “get it right.” Capricorn, no one sees your internal checklist—but that doesn’t mean you have to complete it all by sundown. You’re building something that takes time. Let patience be part of your plan, not just something you endure on the way there.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
There’s movement in the margins today, Aquarius. With your ruling planet still near a sextile to Mercury and a trine with Mars, it’s easier to put words to instincts and action to ideas. Don’t waste time explaining yourself to people who need labels. Let your contradictions speak for you. Being misunderstood is part of the magic.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Pisces, you don’t need big signals from the universe today. With Neptune retrograde in Aries still holding its sextile to Pluto, the shifts are happening behind the scenes. Something long-dormant could resurface—an idea, a feeling, a desire you’ve been shelving. Let it move through you without judgment. You’re allowed to want more than what you’ve settled for.
