Caution and uncertainty discourage us from initiating action early in the day, but the cosmic landscape changes, prompting impulsive behavior later on. Our irrepressible desires urge us to defy social convention as pleasure-seeking Venus aligns with radical Uranus. We’re even more willing to take a risk and express our feelings after the Moon shifts into spontaneous Aries at 9:17 pm EDT. Luckily, stepping outside of the box is rewarded now.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re quite determined to fulfill your heart’s desire, but you may be thwarted each time you make a move toward your goal. Fortunately, you are not so quick to give in to negativity now. Pick yourself up as often as necessary and start all over again. Your persistence will play out in your favor today if you have everyone’s best interests in mind.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your friends and coworkers might witness your stubborn side today, even if you aren’t expressing the real power of your desires. Perhaps you believe that what you really want is so far outside the range of acceptability that you refrain from telling them anything at all. Unfortunately, your discretion can make you feel disconnected from others. It’s not an all-or-nothing matter. Taking small risks will be rewarded if you’re willing to be patient.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are feeling a bit scattered as you jump into your chores with a whole new way of looking at them today. You’re not satisfied by just doing the same old thing in the same old way. Innovation is your game, but too much originality now might send you back to the drawing board. Try transforming your unconventional approach into a slightly more conservative one for the best results.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be drawn out of your self-protective shell today, you still could have mixed feelings about it. You are eager to engage with others as you share your deepest feelings, yet simultaneously wish you had more privacy. Even if you find it difficult to let go of your fear of being judged, this is a great opportunity to stretch outside of your comfort zone. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be feeling even more reclusive than others realize today. Everyone else thinks you are fully engaged, but you are actually keeping your most passionate emotions hidden. There is no need to satisfy anyone else’s expectations of you now. Be true to yourself and take whatever personal time you need. Sometimes you just have to work things out on your own.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tricky to keep your emotions in check today. Logically, you know what to do, but something motivates you to take a different course of action that brings you dangerously close to the edge of rebellion. Don’t waste too much energy doubting yourself now. Instead, speak up and surprise someone by asking for something you really want, even if it’s out of character for you. Be brave and let the words fall out.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A simple relationship issue is intensified today when someone lays his or her values on the line and then impatiently waits for your response. However, you are of mixed emotions now; although your key planet Venus is activating non-conformist Uranus, you’re still feeling some self-restraint. Your indecision may be insurmountable, so it might be wise to let the other person decide for you both. Choosing compromise over conflict is often your best instinct.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone might be pushing you into a situation against your will and you don’t like it one tiny bit. Events are unfolding too quickly and you resent being coerced. Although you seem willing to go along with the plan today, you may be cooking up your own resistance so you can plant your feet when the time is right. Don’t react too quickly, for your position will only increase in strength if you delay your response a little while longer.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may feel like a playday today, but behind the excitement lurks a more serious tone. Nevertheless, delicious Venus in your fun-loving sign is zapped by electrical Uranus, drawing your attention away from work and toward social pleasures. But you’re also quite aware that you have obligations that need to be taken care of before you go out and enjoy yourself. Normally, you are the one who tells others to lighten up and have fun, but now you should remind yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be caught between two opposing ways of responding to your current circumstances. On one hand, you want to reward yourself for your hard work. There are treats already waiting for you and it would be very easy to take advantage of what’s being offered. On the other hand, you may not be able to forget about your responsibilities, even if you have completed your chores. Indulge yourself for a change; you can always tie up any loose ends tomorrow.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Nearly everyone will find you more sociable and charming today, and you can use this secret weapon to move closer to your goals. Your key planet Uranus electrifies sweet Venus, putting a high-frequency buzz into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, someone might try to prevent you from having the fun you know you deserve. Acknowledge the resistance you perceive from others and take their feelings into consideration before charging ahead with your unconventional activities. The pleasure may still be well worth the consequences.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Take a leap of faith today and risk exposing your dreams to the outer world; your timing couldn’t be better. But don’t give up if you also receive a strong reality check in the process. Keep in mind that some of your fantasies may be better left unrealized. Nevertheless, others are unusually receptive to your ideas now, so move forward with your plans while you can. Step out of your imagination and into your future.
