Overconfidence tempts us to push limits today as the planetary waves build to a crescendo, setting the stage for bigger storms. There is a magnifying lens on our lives and we want more of everything as the radiant Sun forms a dynamic square with giant Jupiter. The Sun’s exciting hookup with electric Uranus tomorrow puts us on edge. Thankfully, the Moon steps into sensible Taurus at 1:20 am EDT to act as a safety net in case we run into trouble.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you might not be able to concentrate for long today, you will get by if you remember to be practical every time you need to make a choice. You have the power to turn molehills into mountains now or to believe a pretty average idea is the most amazing thing ever. Don’t get fooled by illusions of grandiose success; keep your feet on the ground and make sure to meet all of your obligations before you spend your time planning world domination.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be stretched ridiculously thin today, especially if you promised too much in order to please someone special. Naturally, you don’t want to let anyone down, but you must deal with the consequences of your overinflated expectations — and the sooner you do, the better. Luckily, the Moon in your sign works in your favor now, facilitating communication and enabling you to focus on the tasks at hand. Don’t be a quitter; determination and persistence is the key to your success.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Friends or colleagues may bring you good news or an exciting opportunity today. Nevertheless, you should be exceptionally cautious, even if you feel like your lucky star is following you around. Thankfully, the potential is excellent for something you start now, but it’s easy to exaggerate the value of the potential rewards. Remember, there’s not much to fear except your current tendency to gloss over important details. Whether you like it or not, patience and due diligence are your friends.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Disappointment may set in quickly if you believe your positive attitude will be enough to get you through the day. Obviously, self-confidence is much more productive than self-doubt, but if you are too sure of yourself today, you might forego the very preparations that could make you successful. Don’t assume that everything will just turn out for the best unless you’re ready to do some heavy lifting along the way. Success is only one part inspiration; the rest requires dedication and perspiration.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re unstoppable today, especially if everything goes according to your plan early in the day. But you’re courting trouble if you believe that your life will simply continue to improve on its own. Although maintaining your regular routine is one way to strengthen the foundation of your life, it’s not emotionally fulfilling. Enjoy the company of others now, instead of spending every moment strategizing on how best to climb the ladder of success. You can enrich your life in intangible ways by simply being with the ones you love.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re likely to enjoy a busy day that is chock full of fun distractions, chatty friends and fascinating ideas. However, the good times could get out of hand and you might wish that there wasn’t so much noise in your environment. Nevertheless, you may not be able to change the magnitude of events now. Instead of trying to limit your activities, enjoy the sense of spontaneity while it lasts. Make the most of the moment by flowing with the energy until it settles back down.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could sacrifice quality for quantity today, so it’s crucial to remember that more of something isn’t necessarily better. Although it’s tempting, you might not need a second helping of dessert or another drink. Developing one fantastic idea is more useful now than being distracted by lots of mediocre ones. Overindulging can lead to non-productivity and even unpleasant consequences. Paradoxically, fulfilling your most basic needs enables you to stay on a healthy track. One brilliant inspiration is all you need to create a masterpiece.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might place too many unrealistic expectations on your boss or coworkers today. Even if you receive recognition for your accomplishments, it’s not wise to think that this trend will continue unabated. Instead of trying to please everyone by taking on more work than you can possibly handle, setting boundaries now enables you to be more effective. Your smartest strategy is to demonstrate excellence at one or two things rather than mediocrity at many. The satisfaction of a job well done may be your most satisfying reward.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Nearly everything seems to be coming up roses today, yet you can be misled by your own enthusiasm. Jovial Jupiter squares the glorious Sun, shining in your 5th House of Fun and Games, empowering you to turn both sides of the street into the sunny side. However, making time to explore the shadows is not the same thing as being a Negative Nelly; it’s smart to take a realistic approach. Acknowledging the truth now can prevent unseen problems down the road.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Keeping your thoughts to yourself is challenging today because the idea of sharing your wisdom makes you smile. However, other people might not want to see the whole picture now. They are lost in their bubbles of fantasy, believing that everything will somehow sort itself out just in time. Nevertheless, your practical nature enables you to assess the situation in an objective manner. Wait until the afternoon to tell your story, for your words gain power throughout the day. However, keep your expectations to a minimum; you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel uneasy today if everything appears to be flowing along smoothly because you don’t fully trust your current optimism. You’re worried that you might be missing a significant piece of the puzzle — and this is actually a real possibility. Practicing a little self-restraint early in the day could bring a more solid boost of confidence later — one you can truly rely on. Remember, even if you want to race to the finish line now, managing your progress assures sustainable stability.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Go out and treat yourself to something special today. Although you may be tempted to spend more than you should in the name of pleasure, the price of your purchase is not as important now as what you acquire. Remember, this isn’t about making an astute investment or a lucrative deal. It’s simply time to honor your inner child with a fun toy or a beautiful gift. Fortunately, a little self-indulgence doesn’t have to break the bank if you choose wisely.
