Despite Mercury retrograde, we're in an optimistic, problem-solving mood today! We have a new moon in sensual, creative Earth sign Taurus at 3:29, which will be ushering in a new beginning somewhere in everyone's life. Read your horoscope to see what area of your life will be reinvigorated today. All times EDT.


Aries

Today's new moon in materialistic Earth sign Taurus is creating a fresh start around finances for you, Aries, as well as around your self-esteem—sometimes it's hard to feel awesome if you're broke.

Taurus

There's a new moon in your sign today! New moon, new you? I think the old you was just fine, actually—don't ever change, sweet cow. But, do enjoy the lunar love that's beaming down on you today.

Gemini

Today's new moon in grounded, peaceful Earth sign Taurus activates a very sensitive and sleepy sector of your chart. It's asking you to find some solitude and spend time in meditation.

Cancer

Your ruling planet is the Moon, which means A) you are very moody, and B) new moons are extra exciting for you. Today's new moon in Taurus is imbuing new energy into your social life.

Leo

Today's new moon in Taurus takes place in the sector of your chart that rules fame and fortune—not that you needed any help being any more popular or successful. Today you're your usual fab self (and everyone notices).

Virgo

There's a new moon in fellow Earth sign Taurus today! This new moon is inspiring you to be adventurous. You're feeling resentful of anyone who might be holding you back. It's time to be free, Virgo!

Libra

Today's new moon in Taurus is very intense for you, Libra, marking a clear ending and beginning in your life. Pay close attention to your intuition today, and notice how much or little your friends and lovers share with you, both emotionally and financially.

Scorpio

You're famous for burning bridges, but today some new ones will be built—and perhaps even some old ones will be repaired! This is all thanks to the new moon in strong, stable Earth sign Taurus.

Sagittarius

Today's new moon in Taurus is awesome for kicking all of your bad habits: Your wild spending sprees (don't lie, Sag, you used an Uber to drive you five blocks recently, right?), your partying, your smoking or drinking—cut it out today!

Capricorn

You'll enjoy new moon in fellow Earth sign Taurus today, Capricorn. It's bringing excellent vibes to the part of your chart that rules romance, creativity, and fun. Having fun is off-brand for you, but go for it today anyway.

Aquarius

Today there's a new moon in Taurus, a stable Earth sign that loves security. This new moon will activate the sector of your chart that rules your home and family, bringing you a fresh start around those themes.

Pisces

Communication has been so stressful lately, Pisces. You don't make much sense to begin with, and Mercury is also retrograde. Today's new moon in Taurus will bring some clarity.
