Aries

Today is all about focusing on your responsibilities, which I know kind of sucks, Aries, but the more you get done today, the more you can relax tomorrow. You won't get away with playing hooky today.

Taurus

The Moon enters fellow Earth sign Virgo today, bringing you romance and creative inspiration! But people will be super uptight this evening, and it will be difficult to discuss feelings.

Gemini

Your ruling planet Mercury is currently in down-to-earth Virgo, and it's activating the sector of your chart that rules home and family. Watch out for conversations concerning these issues today.

Cancer

You're super intuitive, Cancer—but let's be real, logical, linear thinking isn't usually your forte. The Moon enters analytical Earth sign Virgo today, sharpening your mind! Stay in tonight, as the vibe will be super uptight.

Leo

The Moon leaves your sign today and enters Virgo. It's sad that the focus isn't on you anymore, I know; however, the Moon in Virgo will be lucky for your finances, so I guess you're okay with that!

Virgo

The Moon enters your sign today, Virgo! This is a wonderful time to connect with your heart; however, watch out for obstacles and confusion in your relationships this evening. Carry rose quartz to help keep you grounded.

Libra

Kick back and relax, Libra. The Moon is in Virgo, encouraging you to rest and recharge. Don't push yourself to do anything you don't have energy for and catch up on alone time— you're always surrounded by people because you're so irresistible.

Scorpio

The early part of the day is fantastic for networking—thanks to chatty Mercury meeting with the Moon in Virgo in the friendship and community sector of your chart—but make it a power lunch, not a dinner meeting; tonight's weird.

Sagittarius

The Moon enters hardworking Virgo today and activates the fame and fortune sector of your chart! But no reward or recognition will come your way unless you're ready to work very hard. You can do it!

Capricorn

The Moon enters fellow Earth sign Virgo today, lighting up the part of your chart that rules adventure and learning. Go do something unusual—but make it an early night, since you're going to be tired AF.

Aquarius

The Moon enters Earth sign Virgo today and lights up a very psychic, mysterious sector of your chart. Deep emotions are coming up for you to address. Embrace the endings and transformations that are happening around you.

Pisces

There is a lot of tension in the air today, Pisces. Being clear about your boundaries is very important this evening. Major confusion comes tonight in relationships, so make it an early night.
