The Moon is in chill, logical Air sign Libra all day, but the day will still bring some surprises: The Moon opposes wild, rebellious Uranus in Fire sign Aries at 11:23 AM. The Moon craves security, but Uranus is all about change. How will you find balance between your need to feel safe and your desire to break free? All times EDT.


Aries

Libra is a lovely Air sign, all about cooperation and beauty—unlike you, you nutty ram, who enjoys some confrontation here and there. The Moon in Libra is asking you to balance your wild nature today.

Taurus

Some surprises will pop up at work or during your daily chores that may throw you off kilter, Taurus. If your work/life balance is out of whack, you'll really feel it today. Reflect on how you can improve your schedule.

Gemini

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, sending love to the sector of your chart that rules fun, flirtation and creativity—yay! But keep things cool today, keep your friendships friendly, and don't snuggle too closely with someone who could misinterpret your feelings.

Cancer

The Moon is in lovely Libra, lighting up one of your favorite sectors of your chart, the part that rules home and family—but don't get too cozy. Some surprises may pop up at work today.

Leo

Communication is difficult with Mercury retrograde, but the Moon is in logical Air sign Libra to help you sort some feelings out. Some unexpected communication or ideas may come your way today.

Virgo

The Moon's in Libra, the sign of justice, but being ruled by sexy Venus, Libra's also an energy that enjoys luxury and beauty. Do you have enough beauty in your life, Virgo? Reflect on your relationship to money and belongings today.

Libra

The Moon is in your sign today, Libra! People accuse you of being indecisive, which isn't really fair—but battling unfairness is a theme of your life, so I guess there's that. Tell people the Moon is in your sign, so whatever you say goes today.

Scorpio

You really need some alone time to veg out and recharge, but unexpected drama pops up at work and random responsibilities are demanding your attention today. Enlist a friend to help!

Sagittarius

The Moon is in charming Air sign Libra, lighting up the sector of your chart that rules friendships and community, but time socializing may be interrupted by a lover demanding your attention early on today.

Capricorn

You're the sign of material success, the official boss bitch of the zodiac. As such, domestic themes bore you (unless cooking and cleaning is tied in to how you'll achieve fame and fortune). Today you're torn between your home and public life.

Aquarius

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, lighting up the sector of your chart that rules learning, travel, and adventure. But don't expect to get too far on your journey today, thanks to some surprises occurring in your local hood.

Pisces

As the sign of limitlessness, boundaries can be tricky for you. You're very empathetic and you feel everyone's pain, but sometimes this means you can be way to generous. Ask yourself if your relationships are fair today.
