Delays and setbacks may hijack our good intentions today but these obstacles are just taskmaster Saturn’s way of keeping us on track. Instead of giving up, we need to determine if our destination still makes sense, revise our plan and try again. Although the Sun’s square to restrictive Saturn is likely to slow us down, we can still accomplish our goals. Meanwhile, the Moon makes a bumpy run through moody Cancer, further testing our resolve.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you’re ready to plan for a new adventure today, you might have to learn a tough lesson before you continue. Instead of turning this speed bump into a major detour by fighting against the inevitable, take the time to consider why you may be running into obstacles now. Whatever you do, don’t attempt to overpower the facts with your assertive nature. Only when you accept the truth will you be allowed to move forward.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You receive a fleeting glimpse of what’s ahead now, but you might not be able to proceed as quickly as you would like. There’s nothing wrong with letting your desires motivate you as long as they are realistic. Unfortunately, you may be under a lot of pressure today if you underestimate the energy required to complete a job. Don’t make any promises you cannot keep; it’s far better to let someone down gently in the present moment than to be the source of deeper disappointment later on.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re talking a serious game today, but you might not have a clue how to follow through with the necessary actions. But before you attempt to dance your way around an awkward situation, it’s a good idea to think about the consequences of any irresponsible behavior. Thankfully, sharing your feelings, including your concerns, in a mature manner can turn an uncomfortable moment into a positive experience.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might not be all that enthusiastic about the potential of a current romance and your avoidance of the truth only serves to complicate matters. Granted, you could always go ahead and focus on the advantages of being in a relationship, but risking your heart on an improbable future won’t resolve the tension in the present. Expressing your reservations with as much kindness as possible could open the door to a much-needed conversation and even a new level of intimacy.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may believe it’s in your best interest to avoid a discussion that reveals your true feelings today. However, it’s better to face the truth head on than let it gradually eat away at your confidence. You can broach nearly any subject as long as you do so with compassion. Unfortunately, your overactive imagination might add to your current confusion, making it crucial to stick as close to the facts as you can. Save the dreaming for another day when there’s not so much at stake.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have a lot on your plate today, yet unforeseen circumstances pull your attention away from your real work and may impede your progress. Unfortunately, the pressure to finish your tasks can create additional stress if you fall behind schedule. Nevertheless, your fear of how others might respond is more disruptive to your productivity now than anything else. Rest assured that doing your best will be more than good enough to satisfy everyone else.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your creative energy is on the rise, but you might have trouble gaining enough traction to manifest something tangible today. It’s as if your most productive ideas are blocked by circumstances beyond your control. But this isn’t a sensible time to quit since you’re probably closer to the finish line than you realize. Rather than endlessly weighing all your options, let your imagination be your guide. For now, dreaming your way into the future is more powerful than following a script.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could be your own worst enemy today, succumbing to feelings of self-doubt — even if they are unwarranted. The Sun’s square to hardnosed Saturn in your intense sign can make someone’s criticism sound worse than it actually is. Instead of imagining what might go wrong, counteract the resistance you now face by visualizing what will go right. Don’t take no for an answer; your persistence speaks louder than words.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The best way to accomplish everything today is to write down all your appointments and commitments, and then juggle all of them into a schedule that maximizes your efficiency. But no matter how well you structure your day, you still need to leave room for things taking longer than you expect. Even with the best of intentions, it’s also important to know when to toss in the towel. Luckily, your sense of humor can save the day if you maintain a positive attitude.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want to be more socially involved now, especially if it feels like you’re on the outside looking in. Fortunately, you have the gift of long-range vision at your disposal, enabling you to see the bigger picture. Don’t let petty ego wounds get in the way of your larger success that might be just around the corner. Acknowledge the reality of the present moment and keep moving forward. If you continue to act in a positive manner, others will likely gravitate toward you before you know it.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s so easy to worry about being wrong now that you might spend too much time defending your actions. The willful Sun in your logical sign squares authoritative Saturn today, testing your ability to live up to your commitments. Unfortunately, your good intentions aren’t sufficient to overcome a poor judgment call. Nevertheless, the ends don’t justify the means. Forget about taking any shortcuts; instead, listen to the feedback you receive and do what’s expected of you with determination and grace.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s very little margin for error today, so don’t allow your changing moods to influence your actions. Acknowledging your feelings is one thing, but letting your emotions control your behavior is not a good idea now. Take a few deep breaths and give yourself sufficient time to rationally analyze your next move before you do anything you might regret. Follow a practical plan without letting your heart distract you from the work at hand.
