Our big ideas and the details needed to manifest them are in conflict now as the practical Virgo Moon squares Mercury in philosophical Sagittarius. Life is even more challenging because retrograde Mercury requires us to revisit yesterday’s problems while we’re already dreaming about tomorrow. Rather than executing our plans, we may spend too much time thinking about all the possibilities. Reining in our imagination increases our effectiveness.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you might not go anywhere special today, you will likely be thinking of journeying to faraway lands and distant galaxies as messenger Mercury in your 9th House activates your inner explorer. Watching a travelogue or enjoying foods from other cultures could be enough to satisfy your wanderlust now, so don’t try to make your dreams come true yet. Knowing when to turn a fantasy into reality can make the difference between disappointment and happiness

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Big ideas about pursuing emotional interests sound intriguing on paper, but they may fade quickly if you actually engage in an emotional conflict. You want an easier exchange of feelings, but are confronted with a different point of view today. If you have the courage to stay in the conversation, you might just receive the intimate connection you were seeking all along.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

A partner or a friend may tell you more about his or her opinions now than you want to know. Although others mean well, they won’t necessarily stop long enough to find out if you are even interested in what they are saying. Sometimes, you are attracted to having as much information as possible, but today you could be wishing that you didn’t know so much. Your best strategy is to politely change the topic of conversation when you get the chance

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You have to limit your thinking to things that really matter today so you can take care of your obligations. Nevertheless, you are still tempted to escape from the pressures of work by imagining what you could be doing instead. Luckily, your chance of finding a pleasurable distraction without negatively impacting your production continues to grow throughout the day.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Financial limitations might put a crimp in your party plans now that the Moon is dancing through your 2nd House of Money. It may be that you don’t have enough funds to play in the style you prefer. But a shortage of time is another thing that could prevent you from spontaneously engaging in an activity just for the fun of it. Re-evaluate your resources before spending what you don’t have. Generosity of spirit can be demonstrated in a multitude of ways without costing a cent.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could toss your schedule aside today, preferring to be more spontaneous, but it will be difficult to drop your previous commitments. Others may not realize how much you have decided to take on, for you can appear quite cavalier about it all. Unfortunately, you are your own worst critic now. Finding a middle ground between being extremely productive and being totally lazy is your best strategy.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today you’re only interested in social interactions that deepen your understanding of life and your spiritual purpose. Build flexibility into your plans so you can change your mind at the last minute if you desire. It’s not that you are avoiding others; it’s just that enjoying a bit of quiet time may be more appealing than being with a group of people. Listen to your inner voice and don’t let anyone talk you into something you don’t want to do.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may spend more of the day in service to others than you prefer, but there probably isn’t a way to avoid your responsibilities today. Fortunately, mental Mercury’s back-stepping in your sign helps you to maintain a positive demeanor. You’ll likely be seen as the hero who saves the day by going the extra mile if you temporarily set your own needs aside.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are lucky that big things come in small packages today, for your attention span is limited by your previous obligations. Nevertheless, within this confined role, you still have an infinite amount of space to wander around in the far reaches of your imagination. Taking care of business can be productive, even when you are lost in your fantasies. Playing in both worlds fuels your creativity and your success at the same time.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A fresh wave of energy washes into your life today and you may be feeling quite upbeat about upcoming social activities. Unfortunately, your cheery optimism runs into practical considerations that prevent you from doing everything you want. Don’t let discouragement overtake your enthusiasm. Instead, just remember that good things come to those who wait.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It could be a real challenge to keep your goals in check as your plans for the next few weeks run away with you. Instead of arguing with someone who tries to help you see the folly of your ways, listen carefully to what they have to say. It’s not that you won’t accomplish much now; it’s just that there’s no need to bite off more than you can chew.
