It’s challenging to settle down when we’re on a mission and the expressive Leo Moon dares us to act on our ideas. However, the Moon’s shift into critical Virgo at 3:23 pm EDT can make us dissatisfied with anything less than perfection. We may even grow anxious when we face reality instead of our idealistic dreams. Thankfully, the Virgo Moon also gives us the ability to apply sound logic in practical ways as we progress toward our goals.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There’s not much of an opportunity to rest today if you left too many tasks undone. Don’t be overly concerned; just get busy with your chores. Even if you don’t have any pressing obligations, you might still be too serious to enjoy yourself. Keep in mind that you will have plenty of time to play later on. The sooner you get started with what’s on your plate, the more likely you are to finish.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you’re very methodical in seeking pleasure now, you may need to wait until later to get what you want. It helps to set a goal early in the day and then doggedly pursue your destination. Even if others think that you would be happier doing something else, you can still derive sweet satisfaction from staying focused on what you consider most important.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Life shouldn’t be so difficult, but you cannot avoid feeling annoyed if you’re blocked from pursuing your dreams today. Your natural tendency is to scatter your ideas like Johnny Appleseed; however, it’s more effective now to keep them to yourself until you know you have found the most fertile ground. Then, take your time to share your thoughts in detail and carefully nurture them until they reach fruition

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You could be overly protective of those you love as you attempt to balance your concerns with their needs. You might not even notice that you have overstepped your role. Although you want to initiate action for someone else’s benefit, consider that your interference may not be in their interest. Sometimes a temporary setback or emotional hurt is the best teacher. Ease up on the reins and let others take more responsibility for themselves.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your life may already be in flux because a significant cycle is reaching a turning point. You want to narrow your focus now but you’re receiving mixed signals from the cosmos. Instead of fearfully closing down your mind, think about whatever makes you happy. You don’t have to do anything about your fantasies today if you commit to executing your new plan tomorrow.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your anticipation level is high, but you may not be confident enough to fully trust your impulses today. Instead of taking a risk, play it more conservatively for now. After all, you aren’t interested in an easy come, easy go solution. Demonstrate your wisdom by building on your previous accomplishments while still progressing on your long-term goals.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you’re eager to balance work and play, enjoying yourself can be challenging today until you complete your unfinished business. Free-floating anxiety may plague you now, especially if you know that you are running out of time. Fortunately, this impending deadline is more flexible than you think, so don’t waste your energy panicking; just continue doing the best you can.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends may be making too many demands on your time these days. They might not think twice before asking you for what they want, even if their neediness poses an inconvenience. It’s hard to tell if they are aware of the impact of their behavior. However, your loyalty is so strong that if a close friend requests your help, you will be there. Keep in mind that setting healthy boundaries won’t detract from supporting those you love.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re more concerned now about what others think, prompting you to do what is right in the social sphere today. However, you’re not insecure with your judgment if it differs from the crowd. It’s just that you really want to be a team player and will sacrifice some of your needs for the good of the family, group, or community. Good intentions bring positive results.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be a bit ornery today, especially if an acquaintance is pushing your buttons. You’re short on patience, especially when it comes to situations that aren’t your immediate concern. You’re not willing to waste your time on trivial matters just because someone else does. But don’t be too harsh when judging others; paying attention to social etiquette now will serve you well.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are ready to jump to conclusions now, unless you consciously slow down your mental process. But there’s a trick to making this work; you don’t have to change the speed of your thinking. Instead, just increase the time between a thought and the moment you respond. You’ll be surprised at the difference you can make if you just count to ten before saying anything.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone might obstinately stand in the way of your satisfaction today as the Virgo Moon in your 7th House of Partners squares feisty Mars. Instead of glossing over a potential problem, find the courage to talk about it in a nonthreatening manner. Nearly any complex issue is easier to resolve once you commit to handle it together, but it takes two willing participants to make a relationship work.
