Daily horoscopes and astrology for Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn.

Last night was wild! The Moon in Aries challenged the lord of the underworld, Pluto, at 12:14 AM, stirring up some drama. Then it met with rebellious, electric Uranus at 2:15 AM— I doubt you went to bed early. Today begins with a gentler vibe when the Moon connects with sweet Venus in fun Fire sign Sagittarius at 9:39 AM—but we will have some emotional issues to think through, with the moon square logical Mercury at 9:47 AM. More challenges will come this evening when the moon squares the Sun at 6:26 PM, asking us if we need to change direction (or outfit, or partner, or whatever we've got going on). All times EST.

Aries

The Moon is in your sign today! You need all the lunar love you can get because you are facing some challenges and changes, especially in your career. Don't doubt yourself— you do have the experience necessary to conquer your dreams.

Taurus

You're super exhausted, Taurus. Don't push yourself—you will only get grumpier, and no one needs to deal with that. You're feeling pent up and locked down lately. How can you create more freedom for yourself?

Gemini

Your ruling planet, Mercury, is retrograde and you're not feeling like yourself… which you kind of enjoy, since you like being more than one person, Gemini. Today, you'll find yourself examining intimacy and relationships.

Cancer

You are such a warrior when it comes to your reputation and career, Cancer. Astrologers love to highlight how domestic you are, but in truth, you're just as badass at work, and today you'll prove it.

Leo

The Moon is sending you awesome vibes today: It's in fellow Fire sign Aries! But you do have some awkward drama to deal with. Keep your approach to life simple and minimal today for best results.

Virgo

For being such a neat freak, Virgo, you really love stirring some shit. The Moon is in fearless warrior Aries, and you're getting to the bottom of every sticky, emotional situation today—no matter how messy it gets.

Libra

You can handle stress in your own life, but when it starts affecting the people you love, you tend to freak out. Today, you'll face some issues that are affecting your relationships. You're famous for avoiding confrontation, Libra, but I know how fearless you are.

Scorpio

From morning to evening, your goal today is to examine your schedule, your list of chores, and your routines and habits. Some of your to-dos are really not working for you. In fact, they're fucking you up.

Sagittarius

The Moon is in fellow Fire sign Aries, and it's sending you lots of love… like, literally, lots of love, flirtatious notes, and make out sessions. Not in the mood for romance? Creative inspiration is also abundant today.

Aquarius

How much energy do you have, Aquarius? Now is time for you to rest, being that the Sun in the sign right behind you on the zodiac wheel, Capricorn. However, so many invitations and conversations are coming your way. Pace yourself.

Pisces

Be proud of all the amazing things you've earned through your hard work today, Pisces. The Moon is in fiery Aries, and you're energized to get things done. Some drama could pop up in your social life, so watch out for jealousy.
