The Moon entered Gemini super early this morning. The Moon in Gemini is witty, communicative, and curious; today should be mentally active, if a little confusing. At 5:49 pm, the Moon squares dreamy Neptune in Pisces. This is not a good evening to make commitments and create strong structures: Boundaries are hazy and misunderstandings are likely. Mars has been in cautious and emotional Cancer, but tonight it shifts into Leo, meaning everyone will feel super proud, fiery, and in charge. Egos are inflated and ready to take flight--shoot one down, and it'll be war.

Aries

Your ruling planet, Mars, finally leaves wimpy Cancer, so you'll begin to feel like your old warrior self again. Not that Mars in Cancer was so bad--you got to practice being patient and cautious. Leo is fun and so are you; expect more romance and creativity.

Taurus

Things are confusing early this evening. Don't hang out with any unreliable friends--you can't deal with that shit right now, especially since your ruling planet, Venus, is retrograde and making you feel all existential. Only see helpful, grounded people tonight.

Gemini

The Moon has entered your sign early, early this morning, Gemini! Things will finally start to feel clear. Analyze your thoughts about yourself, your friends, and your world. Are you telling yourself any lies? You may be able to figure something out today.

Cancer

Mercury entered sharp shooter Virgo yesterday, giving you some confidence around expressing yourself. Today, Mars enters glam Leo, boosting your faith around your cash flow. Your plans might get canceled tonight, but at least you can stay home counting your coins.

Leo

Mars enters your sign today, shining attention toward you and boosting your already confident and determined attitude. Be conscious of how confrontational you are. Plans may fall through today--but that's fine, since you have your own business to attend to.

Virgo

Don't allow the people in your life to deter you from your goals. Focus on what you want, not what they suggest. Your ruling planet, Mercury, entered your sign yesterday. Mercury is the planet of communication: The only person you have to agree with today is you.

Libra

Social efforts receive a boost from energetic Mars entering flamboyant Leo today, stoking your desire to mix and mingle. Watch out for annoyances around work, your responsibilities, or your big, long-term goals, but don't worry: The irritation will pass.

Scorpio

Mars has entered the sign of fame and glamour, Leo. Excellent things are brewing around your reputation, and you have the drive to accomplish your goals. Friends may flake and plans may fall through, but I suggest you make an effort to meet new acquaintances.

Sagittarius

Irritation in your home may force you out of the house earlier than usual. On the bright side, energetic Mars has entered fun and fab Leo, so I think you'll survive today's tension. Make grand plans to travel: The energy is right for your visions of exploration to manifest.

Capricorn

You've been watching shit fall apart in the intimate, sensitive areas of your life, but now with warrior Mars in fearless Leo, you're ready to take some action. Issues around work may come up for you today, but it's a Saturday, so just avoid e-mail.

Aquarius

Some passing confusion or misunderstanding may take place in your love life or with whomever you work creatively. Warrior Mars entered drama queen Leo today, so expect people to be totally over-the-top with their actions and words.

Pisces

You've been vision boarding and fantasizing how you want your life to look, and today you'll get some inspiration about how to move forward. Life as home feels a little confusing or tense. Head to the beach, or the bathtub, and embrace your element (water) today.
