The Moon is in luxury loving— yet gluttonous— Taurus. With Venus's challenging square to abundant Jupiter early this morning at 12:10 AM, it's time to reconsider our indulgences and expectations. The Moon and power planet Pluto connected at 3:32 AM, encouraging us to embrace change. Energetic Mars gets caught up with dreamy Neptune at 6:02 AM, creating a really lazy vibe this morning. Good news comes at 9:03 AM, when the Moon connects with chatty Mercury. The afternoon is also bright and joyous—the Moon sends good vibes to lucky Jupiter in Earth sign Virgo at 4:15 PM. All times EST.

Aries

You're famous for being impatient, but today, Aries, promise yourself that you'll play it cool. If you don't, you'll make a major fool of yourself. The Moon's in luxurious, comfort loving Taurus, so eat some chocolate and watch some TV.

Taurus

The Moon is in your sign all day, Taurus! It's a lovely day for romance, and you're feeling flirtatious, but it's also extremely important that you check yourself and that you don't go overboard with anything today. Avoid excess.

Gemini

Mercury, your ruling planet, is retrograde and you're seeing things in a new light. Information you've missed in recent weeks is now becoming clear. It's an excellent evening to reconnect with your past.

Cancer

It's an excellent day to connect and communicate, Cancer; however, Mercury is retrograde, so don't make any commitments just yet. Also, scheduling difficulties will be an issue. Things will clear up as the day goes on.

Leo

The Moon is in Taurus, a creative and beauty loving Earth sign, and it's sending you blessings today, Leo. It's occupying the sector of your chart that rules fame and fortune. The vibe today is tense—but whatever, you're popular, so who cares?

Virgo

The Moon is in fellow Earth sign Taurus, sending you lots of good luck today, especially if you're managing issues around school, travel, or getting yourself "out there." You've been feeling tied down, but tonight's perfect for an adventure.

Libra

Recently you've been forced to wake up about some situation or habit that's dragging you down, exhausting, or annoying you. The planet of communication, Mercury, is retrograde, so don't trust everything you hear.

Scorpio

The Moon is in sensual and sexy Earth sign Taurus, highlighting the part of your chart that rules partnership—your focus (as usual) is on your relationships (love means everything to you)!

Sagittarius

All Sags know that bigger is better, but sometimes (like today) you need to hold back a bit and take a simpler, more low-key approach. The Moon is in grounded Earth sign Taurus today, so focus on your to-do list.

Capricorn

The Moon is in Taurus—an Earth sign just like you, famous for its love of beauty and comfort. Today's super flirtatious and fun for you, Capricorn! It's a lovely day to socialize, so reach out to people you want to see.

Aquarius

Major drama is going on in your social life and among your acquaintances. Things that shouldn't be all that deep will suddenly feel very significant, and you'll realize that situations that desperately need examination are being ignored. The Moon's in lazy Taurus, so just stay on your couch.

Pisces

You're feeling super pressured today, and when you're put under stress, you disappear. Whether it's into a book or off to a bar, getting lost is how you cope. Try not to go overboard with your escapist tendencies—things will mellow out later today.
