It's a busy morning for the Moon in Fire sign Sagittarius: It clashes with Venus in Virgo at 5:58 AM, so expect to be sensitive if you're up at that time. Don't overthink any messages sent after midnight that you see upon waking. Then the Moon meets taskmaster Saturn in Sag, creating a serious vibe at 8:51 AM. Later, the Moon challenges hazy Neptune in Pisces at 11:39 AM, so watch out for confusion. Communication issues will arrive late tonight, at 12:59 AM, when the Moon squares Mercury in Virgo—send that text another evening. All times EST.

Aries

The Moon is in fellow Fire sign Sagittarius, where it's sending you good luck! And a little bit of stress, too, due to disorganization and delays. Let's be real, Aries: You're not very organized to begin with, so don't shift the blame on someone else!

Taurus

You're in a super intense mood today, Taurus, but it's feeding your creativity, so whatever. The Moon in philosophical Sagittarius is giving you a lot to think about.

Gemini

Stress can be a good thing—it signals to us that a change needs to be made or a conversation needs to be had. Today, plenty of tension will come up in your relationships for you to act on.

Cancer

Waiting in traffic, being put on hold, or standing in line will drive you nuts today. Get used to it—Mercury retrograde is coming. Also, learning to be patient will be good for you, Cancer.

Leo

The Moon is in fellow Fire sign Sagittarius, sending you lots of luck around love and boosting your creative inspiration! However, you could be feeling crappy about cash—don't let money get in the way of your joy.

Virgo

As sweet as you are, Virgo, you can't make everyone happy, especially not today. So you may as well focus on yourself and finding your own happiness! Do some energetic cleansing in your home today to honor the Sagittarius moon.

Libra

The Moon in philosophical Sagittarius is activating the sector of your chart that rules your mind, but that doesn't mean you will be thinking clearly or that communication will flow today— expect some confusion.

Scorpio

Your focus today is on your financial situation, thanks to the Moon in Sagittarius lighting up the sector of your chart that rules cash and your valuables. People will try to bargain with you today. Take your time deciding how to respond.

Sagittarius

The Moon is in your sign today, Sagittarius! Lunar love is shining down on you, but, unfortunately, that doesn't mean today will be totally easy. Things are confusing at home and at work.

Capricorn

Today is really annoying—just stay in bed. Communication is stressful today, but thinking intuitively could bring some excellent solutions to tricky problems.

Aquarius

The Moon is in fun, friendly Fire sign Sagittarius today, activating the sector of your chart that rules community. The vibe is intense today, but some great networking opportunities could come your way.

Pisces

Today is stressful, but it brings an amazing opportunity for you to get recognition for your leadership skills. Tension will come up in your relationships; try not to over-empathize with everyone and keep your boundaries strong.
