The Moon in Virgo sextiles Saturn in Scorpio at 1:16 PM. Saturn isn't exactly a cheerful planet, but this a productive, helpful combination: When the Moon is working well with Saturn, we feel responsible and our boundaries are solid. If there's a situation in your life that needs a stronger structure, this afternoon is a great time to build one. The Moon leaves Virgo and enters lovely Libra at 4:23 PM, meaning moods will go from pure to flirtatious.

Aries

You're so self-satisfied that you can sometimes have a hard time relating to other people's insecurities. Practice sympathy today, Aries, and encourage the people around you: Your insanely high self esteem is contagious.

Taurus

You might be obsessed with security, but commitment can sometimes weird you out. You're one complex cow, Taurus! While today isn't ideal to sign any contracts or make firm promises, it is a great day to reflect on your options.

Gemini

As a Gemini, you know two heads are better than one. Today, plenty of helpful hands could be available to you. The Moon in romantic Libra is encouraging you to have fun--how many dates do you think you could squeeze into one evening?

Cancer

Isn't it fantastic when people keep their promises? Is this flakey world, it's rare to find people who can come through, but when they do, it's pretty great. Dependable and truthful communications coming your way today, Cancer!

Leo

Gold is often associated with your sign, Leo, and today won't be lacking any (at least, metaphorically speaking). Some kind of payoff is coming your way, as well as a stronger sense of security. The Moon in artsy Libra will inspire you mentally this evening: All around, it's a good day.

Virgo

The Moon leaves your sign today, Virgo, but that's all right because you're not so into attention away. Logical Air sign Libra is the Moon's next stop, which will shift your focus from yourself to your stuff: What (or who?) do you want to keep, and what do you want to throw away?

Libra

The Moon enters your sign today, Libra! As a community oriented Air sign, you love nothing more than helping hands lifting you up, and today you may get support from some unexpected places.

Scorpio

You've never said you wanted to be a role model, Scorpio, but today, you might feel like one. It's sort of nice feeling looked up to, no? The Moon shifts into intellectual air Libra today, so expect your thoughts to get deeper than usual.

Sagittarius

What's even holding you up at this point, Sag? Red Bull? Adderall? Who knows. You can calm your work hustle today (and yes, you've been very productive lately) when the Moon enters social Libra, inspiring you to meet with friends, old and new.

Capricorn

Everything feels a little bit out of your reach, but as the mountain climbing goat of the zodiac, that doesn't intimidate you. You're feeling very inspired today, and the people around you are super helpful.

Aquarius

You're so ready to move forward with your projects--especially those that will put you in the spotlight--and today you might finally get the outside help or influence you need to move forward. Moon in social Libra pushes you to try something new.

Pisces

If you're thinking about traveling or going back to school (or really, doing anything that expands your mind), today is a great day to push forward, especially since your partners are willing to help.
