Aries

The Moon is in Libra, the sign opposite you on the zodiac wheel, putting your focus on relationships. An impulsive action will stir up some excitement this afternoon—think before you leap, Aries!

Taurus

The Moon is in Libra today, encouraging you to get shit done. Things have been sitting on your to-do list for too long, and today you feel energized to take action. Be flexible, Mercury retrograde will bring delays.

Gemini

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, Gemini, bringing you creative inspiration and flirtatious vibes. Mercury retrograde in serious Earth sign Capricorn is pushing you to rethink some complicated issues—and it's encouraging you to let go of the past.

Cancer

It's a busy day for your ruling planet, the Moon, so expect to feel plenty of feelings (what's new, Cancer?). Unexpected stuff at work pops up this afternoon, but good vibes will be flowing at home.

Leo

The Moon in Libra is lighting up the communication sector of your chart! Too bad Mercury retrograde is complicating everything and making it impossible for you to schedule anything important. Unexpected news arrives today.

Virgo

The Moon in Libra is lighting up the financial sector of your chart, Virgo! Expect news about money to come today. Reflect on issues concerning self-work or self-esteem. Unexpectedly intense emotions will flare up this afternoon.

Libra

The Moon is in your sign today, Libra! This is a wonderful time to connect with your needs and feelings. Unexpected issues will flare up in your relationships this afternoon—but a fun surprise could be on the way, too!

Scorpio

The Moon is in Libra, the sign of balance. The best way for you to find balance is to escape the real world for a bit. An unexpected task will pop up for you to complete today, so don't completely check out until this evening unless you really don't give a fuck.

Sagittarius

The Moon is in lovely Libra today, a social Air sign, which is illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your social life and the communities and groups you belong to. Expect fun (and drama) with friends today.

Capricorn

The Moon is in Libra, lighting up the fame and fortune sector of your chart. You're going places! (At least you're trying to, but Mercury is retrograde in your sign, so you're rethinking a lot about life.)

Aquarius

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, encouraging you to keep an open mind. Unexpected messages will arrive this afternoon, as will a confrontation. I feel sorry for anyone who tries to argue with an Aquarius!

Pisces

The Moon is in Libra today, activating a very psychic and sensitive sector of your chart. You're processing deep emotions today. If something's not serving you, let it go. Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn, encouraging you to be nostalgic, but don't overdo the sentimentality.
