The Moon in lovely Libra opposes wild Uranus in Fire sign Aries at 1:41 PM, and the vibe will be electric. Expect exciting surprises and genius ideas—but a bit of erratic behavior, too. The Moon enters sexy, psychic Water sign Scorpio at 12:51 AM, creating a mysterious energy this evening. All times EST.


Aries

Today is totally wild in your relationships—you're ready for massive changes. If you've been feeling trapped, the Moon in Air sign Libra will push you to break free. It's time for something new.

Taurus

Don't play hooky today; you'll be needed unexpectedly, and you'll be totally busted for not showing up. This is a great time to reconsider your commitments—have you bit off more grass than you can chew, dear Taurus?

Gemini

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, activating a very fun sector of your chart and bringing you romance and creative inspiration. Wild, unexpected meetings will take place today!

Cancer

Unexpected stuff goes down, both at home and at work or in your public life, today. Things are moving quickly—and no, not everything will be under control today! Carry moonstone to keep you serene.

Leo

Lots of conversations are happening today, Leo—some exciting and some stressful. The Moon enters mysterious and emotional Water sign Scorpio tonight, so make time to energetically cleanse your home.

Virgo

The Moon is in lovely Air sign Libra today, lighting up the financial sector of your chart. Resources you share with other people (whether that's cash or clothes in a closet) will be a topic of discussion today.

Libra

The Moon is in your sign today, demanding that you get connected to your feelings. Big changes are coming, and if you don't know how what your heart wants, you'll be very frustrated and unhappy.

Scorpio

The Moon enters your sign late tonight (or early tomorrow, depending on your time zone), making this a fantastic night to get in touch with your emotions and desires. Take a magical, cleansing bath.

Sagittarius

You're in a very busy, social mood today, but tonight will be very intense and emotional. Stay in and take time alone. This is a wonderful evening to do some meditation or strengthen your psychic abilities.

Capricorn

The Moon is Libra is lighting up the sector of your chart that rules career, and wild things are certainly happening on that front, as well as in your home. Your attention will shift to your friendships last this evening.

Aquarius

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, lighting up the part of your chart that rules learning and adventure; however, you're kind of not in the mood to try anything new today. So unlike you! You're rebelling by not being a rebel.

Pisces

There are certain things in life we want to feel certain of: the safety of the cash in our accounts, the trust we have in our sexual partners, that our favorite bar will never go out of business. Changes are coming—but they could be great!
