Aries

Creating a healthier, more organized life is what you're all about today. Clean out your closet, Aries, or slap on a face mask. Don't let anyone get in the way of you doing what you have to do!

Taurus

So many planets are hanging out in fellow Earth sign Virgo today, Taurus. Virgo is known to be picky and sometimes even pretentious, but it also can be a very playful energy. Good vibes around romance and creativity are coming your way today.

Gemini

There is so much focus on your home and family today, Gemini. Don't bother texting your friends back about that dinner party because your ass is staying in to look at paint swatches or to bicker with a roomie about toilet paper.

Cancer

Today is all about ideas, Cancer! The celestial focus is on the sector of your chart that rules your mind and information, thanks to the Moon in Virgo, Venus entering Virgo, and of course, lucky Jupiter in Virgo. A key piece of info is coming your way.

Leo

Venus isn't only the planet of love—it's also the planet of money! Cash is on your mind, especially now that Venus is entering materially minded Earth sign Virgo today, activating the financial sector of your chart.

Virgo

Sexy Venus enters your sign today, Virgo! You're feeling seductive, and everyone is majorly attracted to you. You're one of the most practical signs in the zodiac, but today, thanks to lucky Jupiter, you'll believe in miracles.

Libra

Giving yourself more time and space to relax and rest is major, Libra, now that your ruling planet, Venus, is entering grounded Earth sign Virgo. Don't feel guilty asking for time off, a break, or space.

Scorpio

Things are really kicking up in your social life, Scorpio, and more good vibes are on the way now that sweet, lovely Venus is entering Virgo and lighting up the friendship and community sector of your chart.

Sagittarius

You're ready for a big change around your career or reputation, but you know it's going to take hard work. Don't worry, Sag: You have what it takes! You just need to be willing to invest the time.

Capricorn

Sexy Venus enters fellow Earth sign Virgo today, activating the sector of your chart that rules travel and learning! A long-distance lover could enter the scene, or some wonderful news from far away could arrive!

Aquarius

They say every problem has a solution. What they don't tell you is that it's usually the Aquarius people of the world who have to come up with that solution. Problem solving comes easily to you, but it can be overwhelming. Cut yourself lots of slack today.

Pisces

Relationships are a massive focus for you at this time, thanks to the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter all hanging out in Virgo, the sign opposite from you on the zodiac wheel. It's time to get practical and realistic about what's up.
