Life may feel a bit tame after the past few high-energy days, and we quickly relax into the more emotionally stable terrain. The Moon’s visit to laid-back Taurus enables us to find pleasure from simple activities like reading a book, walking in nature or just hanging out with friends and family. But it still might be tricky to fully enjoy the present moment if we’re worrying about what happened yesterday or finalizing plans for the holidays.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Even if you’re longing for a less complicated life, you may have unfinished business to complete before you can separate yourself from the complexity you have created. Although your path appears clearer today, it could take quite a bit of determination in order to reach your destination. Be careful not to become overly complacent with the status quo because it’s not time to let up yet. Putting in extra effort now helps to ensure that you’ll have more time to rest later on.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Now that the Moon has returned to your sensual sign, it’s time to soak in the emotional nurturing that is being offered to you. However, it may be a challenge to stop your mind from spinning today. You could be thinking about so many things that your thoughts zip by just beyond your reach. You might even make yourself frustrated if you try to put your fantastic ideas to work. Thankfully, it’s not about productivity now; sit back and enjoy the process without worrying about the results.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You can’t remain quiet and let something important slip by today without adding your two cents. In fact, you’re driven to speak your mind now because you’re very clear about your own convictions. But remember that you don’t have to comment on every little thing; instead, pick and choose the most critical issues before stirring up controversy with your point of view.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The tension of unresolved conflicts is temporarily soothed by your flexible attitude today. You can release whatever was bothering you in return for a relaxing day of spiritual refreshment and social enjoyment. However, you may not be ready to completely let go of your unexpressed feelings. Nevertheless, set them aside for a while without judging yourself too harshly. You’re not avoiding an issue; you’re just waiting for the right moment to handle it.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today can be a day of contemplation that counterbalances your domestic responsibilities. You might wish that you could escape into a dream, but complications arise if you pay too much attention to your inner world before finishing your chores. But don’t overcompensate by playing the role of a superhero. Just do what you can while still leaving some time to explore your imagination.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have planned a fun event today, only to realize that it’s not going to play out as you wish. Fortunately, you can still enjoy yourself, even if a bit of confusion creeps into your life. There’s no need to become overly concerned by details that won’t be important in the long run anyhow. Instead, shrug off the minor problems and refocus on the basics.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could get all wrapped up in your thoughts now, although your stoicism may prevent you from talking about your worries with others. You wish that you felt more in the holiday spirit, but serious issues are weighing you down and they won’t go away until you deal with them. Even with concentrated attention today, resolution probably won’t come quickly. In the meantime, find a creative outlet for your irritation instead of spreading it to others.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you are aware of life’s simplicity today, you’re even more conscious of its complications. The earthy Taurus Moon lures you away from work and toward the pleasure of play. Yet, as a transformational Scorpio, you’re always attracted to a good mystery. Be careful if it appears that someone else can ameliorate your need for complexity, for this is just an illusion. Like it or not, your fate is completely in your own hands.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Returning to the basics isn’t what usually motivates you, but simplification just may be the most critical issue in your life today. You can have positive impact on your immediate environment, but you have to shift out of the fast lane and on to a road less traveled by busy people like you. You’re at an important intersection, and taking the high-speed freeway isn’t in your best interest. A scenic detour might have much more to offer you now.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are rethinking some of your most basic strategies as you try to reinvent yourself these days. Although this transformation process isn’t finished yet, it would be an intelligent exercise to review and re-evaluate your list of accomplishments. Tie up as many loose ends as possible over the next couple of days so you’re ready for the new year.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Inner conflict may be the source of additional stress as you reconsider a rational decision you recently made. Your feelings might not be following your good intentions as you assumed they naturally would. Your dilemma probably isn’t apparent to others, but one special person could come through for you now. Be open to receiving good news, or at least an uplifting perspective, from a friend or family member — for it can be just enough encouragement to nudge you along in the right direction.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current ambiguity may get in the way of making concrete plans. You would like to do what’s best, but your intentions might go awry especially if your expectations are inflated. It’s difficult for you to say no to anything that sounds like fun, even if it isn’t very practical. Rely on a second opinion before making any commitments that you will later regret.
