Our heads and hearts may be in conflict today as the conceptual Aquarius Moon prompts us to detach from our feelings and act rationally. But it’s hard to ignore our gut instincts as intelligent Mercury aspects passionate Pluto. Our emotions have a sense of urgency now; it can even seem like we’re in survival mode. Nevertheless, the Moon’s stressful square to retrograde Mercury makes communication difficult by clouding our logic with our desires.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that gathering more information is a smart idea today, but additional data won’t help you make a better decision.

Ultimately, your frame of mind is more important now than how long it takes you to finish your job.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Even if you are receiving encouragement everywhere you turn today, you still might not believe the good news you are hearing.

Acknowledging the limitations of your logic frees you from the consequences of any temporary negativity.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might not get everything you want today, yet there are still plenty of opportunities to make the best of current circumstances.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everything seems to be blown out of proportion today, so it’s challenging to find the right pace and stick to it. Even the littlest problem could become an insurmountable obstacle. Ironically, the big issues may not be threatening enough until you’ve run into them head first. Don’t wait until it’s too late; bring your thoughts out into the open where others can see your internal process. They will be more inclined to jump in with the support you need if they know what you’re feeling.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Sometimes you can appear disconnected from reality, but others usually don’t know how far out your thoughts actually are. Now, as the Moon moves through your sign, you can surprise everyone with your uncanny brilliance. It’s your turn to be the hero by finding a solution to a problem that others can’t solve. Don’t hold back. Think big today, and trust the original ideas that come to you no matter how weird they seem at first.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you are justly accused of a wrongdoing today, quickly admit your guilt and ask for forgiveness. Don’t make excuses or slip into denial. On the other hand, if you did nothing to precipitate the emotional outburst, the situation can be a bit stickier. Wait until you know all the facts before responding, for something may be going on that isn’t yet out in the open.
