Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, March 13th

 

Aries

Mercury enters your sign today, dear Aries, where it will transit until the 31st. This gives you a stronger voice and a more certain, self-reliant attitude. You are considerably more communicative, alert, and interested. You tend to be a tad restless with this energy in your life, and this pushes you to circulate, move about, and interact. Very little in your immediate environment escapes your attention. With Venus retrograde in your sign concurrently, you can come across far more analytically than warmly. However, you may be feeling a sense of reawakening on a mental level, with an urge to start fresh and to get ahead with your ideas. Work and projects might fall into your lap. Today, your desire to go your own way seems to clash with a desire for company. You can be feeling a little torn, but with a bit of creativity, you can satisfy both needs.

Taurus

Mercury begins its transit of your sector of privacy and retreats today, Taurus, and this brings a stronger need for privacy or solitude for making decisions, and possibly for your work until March 31st. You are a little more introspective and pensive than usual, and perhaps less communicative. You might also be hesitant about making decisions as you take more time to absorb and digest information before coming to conclusions. It’s an excellent time for rethinking matters and gaining a new perspective on recent events, particularly with Venus in this same house and retrograde. For some, it’s a time of private affections or relationships. The best ideas tend to come from periods of being alone and in better touch with your inner world. Today, you can feel both sociable and withdrawn, and it can be difficult to find a balance between the two.

Gemini

With Mercury beginning its transit of your friendship sector today, dear Gemini, the cycle ahead of you is a favorable one for sharing ideas with others. During this cycle, you thrive on the exchange of information with friends, and the more humanitarian, unbiased, unconventional, and future-oriented the better! You seek out others who stimulate your mind, and others are drawn to you for the same reasons. Your ideas are innovative, unusual, and progressive during this cycle that lasts until the end of March. Great ideas can emerge from your conversations with others and through networking activities. You are more assertive and forthright during this cycle since Mercury is your ruler and is traveling through bold, fiery Aries until the 31st. Today, however, you may wrestle a little with whether to go your own way or divide the credit with others. Or, your desire to get close to someone is up and down.

Cancer

Mercury moves into your sector of responsibility, career, and reputation today, dear Cancer, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until the last day of March. More frequently than usual, your mind is on your goals and prospects during this cycle. You are more aware of how you’re coming across, and others are taking more interest in what you have to say. You might be in the position to speak formally or to lead with your ideas, and others notice you for your smarts. Today, try to focus on what works for you rather than on what others are doing (or not doing) for best results. Otherwise, you can find yourself in an unpleasant state of vacillation. The Moon has now moved into your home and family sector, encouraging a greater focus on your domestic life.

Leo

Mercury moves into harmony with your sign today, dear Leo, and will continue to transit your solar ninth house until the last day of March. Your outlook is quite positive and your mind very active during this cycle, and you’re inclined to look at matters from a broader perspective. Your interest in the world around you increases and your ideas are mostly well-received, although with retrograde Venus here for the duration of this Mercury transit, your communications may not always go the way you intend. An overview approach to thinking can reduce the number of perceived challenges in your life. You are less interested in mundane, routine matters and details, preferring to focus on the bigger picture. Today, you enjoy the feeling of being busy, but might find it hard to know exactly what you want to do with yourself!

Virgo

Today and until March 31st, Mercury’s presence in your solar eighth house boosts your perceptive abilities, dear Virgo, which are considerable in the first place. This is a period of deeper thought and increased strategy. You are inclined to pour your energy into mental pursuits that truly turn your crank rather than spend too much time on frivolities during this cycle. You are a little less inclined to speak about your plans or engage in small talk during this period. You could be attracted to mysteries or darker subject matter, or you could find that you’re drawing these things to you. You find it especially enjoyable to wrap your head around a good mystery or puzzle. Today, the Moon leaves your sign very early into the day, and emotions tend to stabilize. Even so, you may be craving extra comfort and pleasure now.

Libra

Mercury moves into your opposing sign today, dear Libra, pointing to a stronger desire for sharing ideas and making decisions with others. This cycle lasts until the 31st and is likely to enliven your relationships, either through increased communication or considerably more thought given to them. Intellectual companionship is emphasized now. You enjoy bouncing ideas off others, which gets your mind working more vigorously and efficiently, and you have a lot to learn through others, whether this is direct or as a result of thought that starts after you interact with them. While this is usually a great time to talk through relationship problems, Venus is retrograde in this same sector for the duration of Mercury’s transit here, and some of the intention or warmth in your communications can be missing, leading to possible misunderstandings. The Moon moves into your sign early today, upping the emotional volume. Feelings you may have kept at bay demand your full attention now!

Scorpio

Mercury, the planet of communication, begins its transit of your work and health sector today, dear Scorpio, where it will influence until the last day of March. This is a cycle for focusing on the details of your life and getting them into order. Work, practical matters, health, fitness, nutrition, and routines are all in stronger focus. Positively, this is a favorable period for getting work done that leads to more definite feeling of being in charge of your life. The challenge of this transit occurs if you are so focused on flaws or overwhelmed with details that you fail to see the bigger picture. Examining work projects and relationships can be appropriate now. Today is a day for laying low, however, as the Moon moves into your privacy sector signaling a need to take the pressure off. If you’ve recently been feeling put upon by others who expect you to do more than your share, learning your boundaries can be in store today.

Sagittarius

Mercury moves into a position of harmony with your sign today, dear Sagittarius, and will continue to move through your solar fifth house until March 31st. This is a helpful influence as it smooths out your conversations and boosts your ability to get your messages across without disclaimers. You are more confident and ready to take a personal risk when it comes to expressing yourself. Thoughts might often turn to romance, children, and entertainment during this cycle, and you’re inclined to have a little extra fun with your communications. Even so, Venus is retrograde in this sector of your chart for the duration of Mercury’s transit, and you may need to watch for an overly intellectual approach to situations that favor using your heart before your brain. There can be an analysis of a past relationship or the sorting out of your feelings now.

Capricorn

Mercury enters your home and family sector today, dear Capricorn, and will continue to influence this part of your chart until the 31st. This can be a busy time for family or home life, whether it’s about more communication with family, work or learning from the home, frequent visitors, or increased attention to the past and your personal life. With Mars now working in harmony with your sign, and retrograde Venus and Mercury challenging your sign now, the upcoming weeks tend to favor action more than words. There can be a lot of reminiscing about the past and a new perspective on it as well. Today, you can experience a tug of war of sorts between your desire to get things done or gain recognition and your need to relax and blend in with your surroundings!

Aquarius

Mercury begins transiting your communications sector today, dear Aquarius, and is now moving in harmony with your sign (until March 31st). This is a satisfying placement for Mercury, even if it sometimes stimulates some restlessness, as Mercury feels right at home here. This position gives you an added boost or ease with communications and a more flowing ability to learn. It acts to sharpen and enhance your ability to process information quickly and more efficiently. Venus is retrograde in this same sector for the duration of this transit, however, and you may sometimes come across far too analytically for your own good, or you could complain that others are too critical or lacking warmth. Picking up new information is the focus now, and while it can be very beneficial, it’s up to you to sort through it all. Watch that your life doesn’t become weighed down by too many trivial matters, but do branch out and consider new ideas and possibilities.

Pisces

Mercury enters your resources sector today, dear Pisces, and will move through this area of your chart until March 31st. This transit brings smarter energy to your practical affairs. While Venus is currently retrograde in this sector of your solar chart and it’s probably better not to begin significant new endeavors, Mercury here can help you see things a little more clearly, or, at the very least, help you to reason things through. You’re certainly inclined to deal with business and money matters logically and reasonably during this period. There can be increased worries about money at times, but these might also lead to smarter money management or more attentiveness to your resources. You are also more inclined to talk about what you value, material matters aside, and you’re likely to come to a stronger understanding of what you want as a result.
