Aries: March 21 – April 19
As your ruling planet, Mars, creeps closer toward two corresponding squares with the Sun and Chiron retrograde under Libra and your sign, the chances of spiteful or unproductive behavior within close relationships increase. Remember, Aries: adding to someone else’s pain doesn’t take away your own. Indeed, the stars suggest you work on placating the hurt instead of perpetuating it.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Venus and Mars’ trine under Scorpio and Cancer continues to strengthen as your ruling planet inches closer toward an opposition with Uranus retrograde. This celestial standoff is still days away, so now is a good time to solidify matters of the heart and wallet before Uranus invites chaos in the front door. Look for stability before the stress starts, Taurus.

Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Mercury and Jupiter’s trine continues to encourage flexibility and openness, and these traits will become all the more useful as the waxing crescent Moon passes through a brief opposition with Jupiter under Sagittarius and your sign. This standoff promises to highlight stickier mental hang-ups. You might think that you’ve loosened your grip on old ideas and beliefs, but the stars suggest otherwise.
Cancer: June 21 – July 22
With fiery Mars flying through your sign and a brief but potent standoff between the waxing crescent Moon and Jupiter today, emotions might start to run especially hot. Try not to let your sensitivity get the best of you, Cancer. Things are rarely meant to be as personal as they often seem from our perspective. Try to empathize before you villainize.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
Your ruling celestial body and a waxing crescent Moon form a flirtatious sextile under Libra and Sagittarius, respectively. Sextiles aren’t the most active celestial aspect, but they certainly have their place within one’s astrological forecast. Take this time to get your ducks in a row, Leo. Coming up with a game plan before you act is a wise choice.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Mercury and Jupiter’s ongoing trine under Libra and Gemini is a celestial push toward optimism and away from overly skeptical thinking. Yes, there are certainly bad actors in the world. But the more you start looking for these problems, the likelier you’ll find them. The stars suggest it’s time to start enjoying the journey without constantly searching for a trapdoor.
Libra: September 23 – October 22
Overly investing in someone or something else won’t necessarily cause the same reaction back to you, Libra. A square between Mars and Mercury under Cancer and Libra offers a pragmatic warning to the trine between your ruling planet, Venus, and Mars. Diving headfirst into a new relationship or financial endeavor can be tempting and exciting, but it’s not always wise.

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
The ongoing trine between Venus and Mars under your sign and Cancer continues to keep emotional sensitivity high today. While this would typically be a helpful alignment, the stars offer a small caveat in the form of a sextile between Neptune retrograde and your ruling retrograde planet, Pluto. Just because a feeling is strong doesn’t necessarily make it accurate, Scorpio.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
The fleeting and powerful opposition between the waxing crescent Moon and your ruling planet, Jupiter, under your sign and Gemini, respectively, is by far the most pervasive alignment in your forecast today. This standoff suggests old ideas are about to be shaken up or dismantled completely. Paired with a trine between Mercury and Jupiter, the shake-up promises to be beneficial.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
The waxing crescent Moon passes through a challenging square with your ruling planet, Saturn retrograde, today, bringing emotional impasses to the forefront of your consciousness. Rest assured, Capricorn, these problems will continue to rear their heads until you take the time to address them completely. Putting a band-aid over the issue is only a temporary fix, not a permanent solution.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Uranus flying under Taurus, a square between the Sun and Mars, and a trine between the Sun and Jupiter all seem to point to a potential setback or road bump. As annoying as these “failures” might be, you mustn’t underestimate their ability to teach you as much—if not more—than their positive counterparts. Sometimes, our most useful life lessons are also the most unpleasant.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Your sign continues to move closer to great change as Neptune retrograde flies in sextile with Uranus and Pluto retrogrades. Pluto will return direct in the next several days, shifting this transformative energy outward. Now would be a good time to reacquaint yourself with your internal beliefs and values to navigate this attention shift confidently and efficiently.
