The Moon’s square to Mars may push some buttons today, especially around impulsive reactions or things that feel unjust. There’s a bold emotional current running underneath even the simplest interactions, and it’s easy to leap before thinking. Stargazer, try not to let fleeting frustrations dictate the tone of the day. Jupiter’s conjunction with the Moon brings moments of emotional generosity—if you’re willing to reach for them. Some signs may feel charged up, others may find a strange stillness instead. Either way, the sky is asking for self-awareness over spectacle. Remember that sometimes the strongest move isn’t confrontation—it’s choosing not to respond at all. Let that be your anchor.
Read your horoscope for the week, and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
The Moon squares your ruler, Mars, which means pressure is pushing up from the inside. Aries, if something irritates you today, ask what it’s really about. You’re not as impatient as people think—you’re just wired to respond fast. But today, slow works better. Let others catch up. Let yourself cool off. That heat can still burn clean.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
There’s no standout alignment today, which gives you room to tune in to what actually matters. Taurus, notice what feels solid versus what you’re forcing. Not every plan needs reshaping. Some just need patience. You don’t have to prove anything by doing more. Try finding comfort in what’s already working—even if no one else is clapping for it.
Gemini: May 21 – June 20
A sextile to Makemake emphasizes purpose through play. Gemini, you don’t need a grand reason to chase what lights you up—you need curiosity with a little stamina. Start something today that’s more fun than useful. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere, the spark is the point. A little joy can rewire more than any well-reasoned plan ever could.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
With the Moon conjunct Jupiter and square Mars, moods may inflate faster than you’d like. Cancer, your emotions aren’t wrong—they’re just louder today. What you do with them matters more than how big they feel. Find a way to ground that energy. A walk, a playlist, a long message to a friend. Don’t sit on it. Move it.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
With the Sun nearing a sextile to Haumea, there’s a pull toward reinvention. For Leo, this doesn’t require a spotlight—just a little honesty about what still fits and what doesn’t. You’re known for standing tall, but today’s strength lies in adjusting your stance. Let your fire shape, not scorch, what’s next.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
There’s a detail you’ve been circling—mentally, emotionally, maybe both. Today’s Mercury-Makemake sextile can help loosen your grip without losing your focus. Virgo, perfection isn’t the price of peace. You’re allowed to care without fixing. You’re allowed to let things be unfinished. Not every answer needs to be optimized. Sometimes, knowing enough is enough. Let that be okay.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
There’s a difference between diplomacy and erasure. Libra, you know how to read a room—but today, read yourself too. What did you want to say before you edited it down? Before you decided it might be “too much”? Venus in Cancer asks for honesty that feels like care. You’re not overreacting. You’re just finally reacting.
Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
There’s strength in knowing when to hold something close. Scorpio, you don’t need to explain yourself today—especially to people who expect access without offering reciprocity. If it feels like someone’s trying to read between your lines, trust your instinct to protect the margins. Not every chapter needs a witness. Some days, power looks like privacy.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
The Moon’s conjunction with Jupiter invites a sudden swell of ambition. Sagittarius, you’re in the mood to expand—but be careful not to overpromise what can’t yet be delivered. Today’s big-picture thinking is valuable, but only if grounded in action. Give your ideas time to stretch before expecting them to run. Vision needs pacing to last.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Nothing big in the sky today means all the action’s happening internally. Capricorn, your ruling planet is retrograde, pulling your attention toward unfinished business or patterns you’ve outgrown. What feels heavy today probably has history. You don’t need to fix everything—just don’t pretend it’s fine if it’s not. That’s where your strength actually does the most.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
The world’s doing its thing without major astrological interference—but that doesn’t mean you’re on autopilot. Aquarius, there’s something oddly energizing about an uneventful sky. You’re not reacting—you’re choosing. Let that novelty light you up. You get to define the pace today, and for someone who thrives outside the lines, that freedom is more than just relief—it’s creative fuel.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
The sky isn’t pulling focus today, which means your internal weather might speak the loudest. Pisces, notice how you feel when nothing demands your attention. Are you drifting or dreaming? Try naming the difference. There’s space here to recalibrate—not with pressure, but with presence. Let that be enough to carry you through the day
