The energy level jumps up a notch and shifts us into a more festive mood today, as the Moon enters lively Leo at 1:47 a.m. EST. We may be ready to walk away from our obligations in order to enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, avoiding responsibilities isn’t as simple as we wish, for there are consequences to our actions. However, the dramatic Leo Moon’s smooth trine to independent Uranus motivates us to express our needs without regard to the outcome.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your self-esteem is on the upswing today, yet your enthusiasm could create problems if you don’t take the time to listen to what others are saying. It’s tempting now to just ignore an important piece of information that can come back to haunt you later, costing you time and money. Someone may unintentionally give you incorrect data, or you might misunderstand what you’ve been told. Either way, it’s wise to check everything you hear twice. Sticking close to the facts is your smartest strategy, even if it’s not the most enjoyable path to take.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Oddly enough, although the pace of your life may be speeding up, it feels as if your progress is slowing down. It’s difficult to keep up with all that you should be doing now, and you might exhaust yourself by trying to finish everything that you start. Even if you want others to appreciate your reliability, it’s still important to take your time and produce high-quality work. Focusing on excellence will impress your colleagues more than hurrying through your tasks just to get them done.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your life seems quite complicated today, as the evocative Moon visits your 3rd House of Communication, turning up the volume on your conversations with others. But if your day becomes too noisy, a possible misinterpretation can add chaos and confusion. Nevertheless, don’t worry if you need to untangle a delicate issue; it’s worth clearing up a misunderstanding now before it causes any trouble later on. Carving out a bit of peace and quiet may be the first step toward finding clarity.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may become quite stubborn if a coworker suggests you change your plans today. You might dig your heels in even further if you have already taken the time to carefully consider your options. You want to do what makes the most sense, but you don’t think you should revise your agenda just to make others happy. Compromising is a necessary part of negotiation, but there’s no need to sacrifice your values to reach a successful agreement.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Escaping your daily routine to have some fun might be tempting, but you have more important things to do because others are depending on you now. You have been itching to make something exciting happen, and it’s time to push ahead with your plans. Just don’t become impatient; positive change must be grounded by a strong foundation, so impulsive action is unwise. Build on what you already have today instead of betting your future success on the unknown.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel torn between presenting your ideas to others and withdrawing to keep your point of view to yourself. Your creative juices are flowing, but you’re not sure if it’s appropriate to express your crazy ideas. Fortunately, your imagination won’t steer you wrong today, so trust your instincts no matter what. Taking a chance by putting yourself out there for everyone to see isn’t as risky as you think.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Chilling out with your friends sounds like a great idea, but you could end up far from your goals if you don’t take things more seriously today. It’s tempting to assume that everything is on track and will turn out as you wish, but you need to deliver on your promises to keep the day from spinning out of control. Thankfully, if you take the time to put your recent commitments into proper perspective, you should be able to negotiate a course of action that won’t require as much hard work on your part.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You intuitively know what others want today, which may help you get a head start on the job. There’s no reason to wait patiently for your boss to assign you a new task if you already know what needs to be done. Starting on your chores earlier and being more methodical in your approach can turn a hectic day into a pleasant one, enabling you to accomplish more than you originally thought possible

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your feet are planted firmly on the ground today, yet the Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Adventure also inspires you with a touch of wanderlust. You have a pretty good idea of what you should be doing now, but your restlessness won’t go away on its own. You’re eager to embark on a big trip, but this might not be the most convenient time to travel. There’s no hurry; thankfully, solid preparation will pave the way to your success. The future may be even more exciting than you can imagine.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although the emotional intensity seems to be mellowing out today, there’s still a lot happening in your personal life. Fortunately, you have a specific destination in mind, making it easier to follow the path toward your goals. Visualize your success, make a plan to reach it and then set out toward your target. Keep in mind that shortcuts won’t help you get there any faster now, so prepare to take the more traditional route that consists of hard work and sheer determination.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may strive to take a centrist position today because you really don’t want to stir up any extra trouble. You prefer sharing a point of view that’s easily defendable, but it seems as if everything you say now provokes conflict, even if you’re just trying to make your opinions known. Remember that your plan is merely one way to approach a dilemma; grace others with respect, even if their conclusions are different from yours. Thankfully, there’s more than one route to reach your goals.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you can competently analyze a project by breaking it down into manageable components, it’s not necessary to make such a big deal of what you are doing today. Fulfilling your commitments is important, but don’t waste energy explaining how you developed your strategy. Others don’t need to know your inner process now, as long as you focus on getting the job done in a timely manner.
