While the morning can find your thinking a little fuzzy and perhaps in need of a rest or a creative distraction, dear Aries, as the day progresses, your concentration and focus increases. You can in fact do quite a bit today, finding it rather natural to hone in on flaws, prioritize, and organize. You are especially invested in your current projects, and it’s important that you have the freedom to do your work in your own way. You’ll get a whole lot more done independently now, but the Moon in your sign all day does incline you to want some acknowledgement or a feeling of reinforcement.
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon pulled into your privacy and soul sector last night, dear Taurus. This is a monthly brief transit that lasts about two and a half days, reminding you of your need for emotional regeneration and renewal. This can be a time of working under the radar, less visibility, and of focus on review and processing recent events and feelings. You may be closing a chapter on something in your life, or simply feeling the need for extra rest. The Moon’s easy connection with Saturn today can help you to better see what attitudes and situations that you are better off leaving behind you. It’s not always that practicality and emotions combine so easily, so take advantage of this clearer grip on reality.
Gemini
Gemini
There can be a bit of mental fog in the early hours today, dear Gemini, with your ruler, Mercury, in challenging aspect to Neptune, the planet of illusion. However, as the day moves forward, you’re likely to get a stronger grip on your priorities, and you may very well enjoy filling your responsibilities, as you feel especially capable of doing so. You may be dealing with issues of assertion and accommodation with friends today, and have a better chance of finding a nice balance. It’s easier than usual to put some emotions aside in order to accomplish something important to you right now. You may be seeing the more reliable side of others, and fully appreciating it.
Cancer
Cancer
There is an inclination for you to want to go your own way today, dear Cancer, but also a stronger sense of your duties as well as others’ expectations. You may be in the position of leader or manager now, and can adopt this role quite naturally at the moment. Try not to carry more than your fair share of the load, unless you’re totally happy doing so. The expression “be careful what you’re good at” might apply now, as there is a tendency for others to expect you to take over. Don’t overload yourself. There can be interesting insight into a partnership or close friendship now.
Leo
Leo
The day may get off to a bit of a murky start, dear Leo, but rather quickly begins to stimulate your ambitions, desire to produce, and urge to take care of priorities. If you have a hobby, pet project, or studies that could use some attention and focus, this is a strong time for directing your energies into them. When it comes to learning, you are taking a hands-on and self-directed approach, needing to see results for yourself in order to remain engaged. The practical side of your mind is in strong focus now. It’s easier to put emotions aside and block out distractions in order to get something done.
Virgo
Virgo
The day can begin with some misunderstandings or confusion, dear Virgo, but as it advances, you’re more inclined to want to roll up your sleeves and get things done, particularly when it comes to domestic chores. It’s a day for taking measured steps towards a goal rather than attempting to push forward quickly. You can be feeling a stronger drive to feel more secure and orderly in your home or base of operations. While responsibilities in your personal life are increasing these days, you feel more equipped than usual to take care of them.
Libra
Libra
You can feel strongly motivated to understand a close relationship or to know where you stand with someone today, dear Libra. You are showing your affection in practical ways these days, and others may not be especially forthcoming with their appreciation, but their actions are likely to speak volumes now. You’re especially skilled at bringing others together or encouraging people to get along today. You may find yourself in the role of mediator or go-between, and you’re quite competent in this position! The Moon spends the day and all of tomorrow in your partnership sector, putting your emotional focus quite squarely on your relationships. While you should probably watch for over-investing in them, it’s generally a good time to bond and improve your connections.
Scorpio
Scorpio
You can experience a stronger drive to seek security and to see tangible results for your efforts today, dear Scorpio, although you might begin the day feeling less than focused. You’re inclined to want to work on your own or at your own pace, and you might find it easier to block out the usual distractions. This is a time for developing a better balance between supporting or assisting others, and asserting your authority. It’s a good time in general for handling the details that will further your long-term goals or career, and this is highlighted today.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
In the early hours of the day, you might find it difficult to concentrate, dear Sagittarius, and we should watch for a tendency to misunderstand others or skip instructions. However, as the day moves forward, you can be feeling increasingly more focused and interested in seeing some results. Ambitions are gently nurtured, and you can be especially realistic, but you’re also inclined to want to focus on some fun or creative pursuits, making it a good time to work on hobbies or pet projects. People may be recognizing your competence or natural talents, which further motivates you to do your best.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Your brain may need a little break early today, dear Capricorn, with Mercury in your sign in challenging aspect to Neptune. You might want to feed your mind something imaginative or creative. As the day advances, there is a growing desire to get things done, and you’re most interested in tackling problems at their root. Home and family matters tend to fare well now, but possibly at the expense of other life “departments” today. Still, you seem to need to get your domestic life running smoothly before taking on the world, and this is a good time to do so.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You may be taking on a nurturing or supportive role today, dear Aquarius, and while the early hours of the day may find you and people around you a little foggy-minded, as the day moves forward, you are more and more productive. You are radiating a real air of competence now, so don’t be surprised if others turn to you for help or to take the lead in some practical way. There can be a pioneering streak that emerges, as you’re interested in getting a jump on things. Friendships and making connections can be in focus, but you’re also inclined to thrive in self-directed activities at the moment.
Pisces
Pisces
The early hours of the day can stimulate misunderstandings, missed directions, or some form of confusion, dear Pisces, but once these are sorted, you become clearer and more focused. In fact, this is a day of increased responsibility, so take advantage. Your sense of practical priorities is strong. The desire to have a little more control of your life is a motivating factor now, and the need for tangible results improves your self-discipline. Responsibilities to loved ones are in focus, and instead of feeling burdened, you’re more inclined to want to roll up your sleeves and get down to business today.
You have a good head for practical and work matters today, dear Aries. You are examining past patterns in new ways particularly with issues surrounding your reputation, work, health, parents, and career. There can be interesting insights or new understandings of a past problem. Thoughts of past relationships, connections, and even projects can be intense now, and people or information can surface that jumpstart all of this thinking. The important thing is that you are looking at these things with new eyes, and conclusions you draw now can be significant. Problem solving skills improve. Make a special effort to be cooperative and cheerful with others, as these are easier to access and are sure to be returned. Giving others a pat on the back can help everything roll along smoothly.
Taurus
Taurus
This is another day for enjoying good humor and easier self-expression, dear Taurus. If you throw yourself into something that truly pleases you, you will feel stronger and happier for it. Particularly with matters related to education, travel, or publishing, you have the chance to see things in new ways. You can find it especially easy to relax and find ways to enjoy yourself now. The things you read and hear about today can be helpful for future projects. This can be a time of drawing upon past experience and creating something new from it. Wonderful energy is with you for sharing your happiness with others, for resolving conflicts, and for solving problems. A partner or love interest could be amorous. Communication defines your friendships right now, so make sure that you’re keeping in touch.
Gemini
Gemini
Self-improvement endeavors are highly favored today, dear Gemini, as your ruler, Mercury, harmonizes with forward-looking Jupiter. You’re also very likely to come to an agreement with someone and to enjoy some boosted popularity. Relating cooperatively with an important “other” in your life figures strongly now. You’re seeing others and various projects in your life as a whole rather than all the parts, which can be a little flawed! It’s another good day for discussing private or personal matters. It’s also strong for looking back at an old problem in a new way. Important connections can be made now. Make time to chat with a colleague or special friend, as you might learn something to your benefit.
Cancer
Cancer
This is a day for improved spirits and positive attitudes, dear Cancer. We are not caught up in petty matters now, and more interested in cooperating and sharing common goals. It’s a good time to express your affections, feelings, and ideas, and for looking at a relationship in a new way. Illumination or insight may come. Even if you don’t have all the answers yet, it’s nevertheless a powerful time for seeing problems and people in a new light. Counseling, negotiating, and revisiting an old friendship can be in focus.
Leo
Leo
This is another positive day in which you’re ready to make changes and to consider new approaches or perspectives, dear Leo. It can be an important day for looking at a health or work issue in a new light. An important idea on these fronts may be developing now. You may be in helping or serving mode, and fully enjoying it. It’s also a strong day for analyzing and negotiating money matters. It’s better to think about what you can do to improve and tweak current projects and ideas than for starting all-new ones, but your thinking in this regard is sharp.
Virgo
Virgo
Your ideas, thoughts, and creative process all flow quite spontaneously now, dear Virgo, and you can find it’s an excellent time for expressing yourself through creative mediums. Your thoughts may turn to travel or higher learning today, as you crave a little more from life than you typically do. This does not mean you are feeling discontented, because you are actually quite centered and peaceful today. It simply means you are recognizing a need for more creative and expressive outlets. Thinking in bigger terms than the usual is beneficial now. You have winning ways when it comes to matters of the heart. You easily put others at ease, and you might meet someone quite charming.
Libra
Libra
This is a good day for seeing things in a new, positive light, dear Libra. While there is strong energy for home and family matters today, socializing and connecting can lead to important discoveries and easy answers. You may go out of your way to help someone out today, and it can be very gratifying. In general these days you are more willing to give of yourself and make others happy. You may be trying to make sense of family matters and past patterns, and you can arrive at important conclusions that help you to move forward. There can also be new ideas born out of old ones. Take notes! You are learning a lot today, from your own intuition and insight, and from those around you, perhaps indirectly.
Scorpio
Scorpio
This can be a great time for sharing positive thoughts, help, and optimism, dear Scorpio. Be supportive and open for best results, and welcome the support of others. This is an excellent time for writing, particularly about your professional aims or for business, such as promotion or publicity work. You are not caught up in petty matters now, and more interested in cooperating and sharing common goals. Self-study can be beneficial now as well. You can be looking at things in a new light, particularly related to learning, communications, siblings, and mental interests and projects. New energy can be brought to old issues.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
This is a strong day for problem solving, dear Sagittarius. You might gain a new understanding of an old problem, particularly related to money, finances, business, work, and personal possessions or valuables. With a new, bigger perspective, the details of any plan seem to fall into place. You have a little more faith in your natural talents and your capabilities, and this tends to boost others’ perception of your value, especially in the business world or with those in authority. Sharing ideas with co-workers might be rewarding now. You might decide to give someone the benefit of the doubt and this makes you feel good about yourself.
Capricorn
Capricorn
This is a strong day for looking at problems in a new way, dear Capricorn. Your point of view is wide angle lens, and this helps you to see things differently, leading you to different conclusions and insights. With the Sun and retrograde Mercury aligning in your sign, it’s a time for taking stock of recent events, and for drawing upon the past for ideas and insights, which can be significant in the formation of new or improved ideas down the road. You are especially “heard” today, and generally received well, but with more impact and Mercury still retrograde, you may want to take special care when communicating. Your ideas, thoughts, and creative process all flow quite spontaneously. Make room in your mind for positive thoughts and new ideas.
Aquarius
Aquarius
There can be important new insight into the past, as well as your innermost feelings and subconscious mind today, dear Aquarius. You have the unusual ability to look behind and ahead of you. Your ability to support or advise others can be strong now as well. Private time is helpful now, although you are likely to feel quite connected with others. Even your dreams, night and day ones, may be telling you something important. There could be a conversation about a personal matter, a secret revealed, or simply some extra thinking about the past. For some, a surprise meeting or venue, smell, or situation can bring back memories. You are coming to a new understanding of a past matter through new information, or looking at something with new eyes.
Pisces
Pisces
This can be a fine day for communicating with friends and exchanging ideas, dear Pisces, and you may be making sense out of a past experience or problem with a friend. A rewarding conversation can be part of the picture now, and the inclination is to think ahead and plan around new goals. Gaining new perspective on matters helps you to rise above the small things. You might also come to the realization that a person means more to you than you had previously thought. It’s also an important day for taking in and processing recent events, particularly related to friendships and allegiances. Ideally, a new understanding of an old problem will be reached.

Routines are tolerable and comforting.

Tuesday (Mars): Passion, sex, courage, aggression, and protection.
Revolution Day (Tanzanian)
Waxing Moon The Waxing Moon (from the New Moon to the Full) is the ideal time for magic to draw things toward you.
Moon phase: First Quarter

These days are excellent for focus and determination in your career, dear Aries. It’s also a good period generally for making necessary changes in relationships with a parent or boss. If there is a negative attitude or bad habit that you need to kick, this may be the time to do so. Patience wins the day, although you could be feeling in no mood to conform to others’ wishes this morning. As the day moves forward, your patience increases. Decisions made today, particularly involving relationships, money, and higher education, tend to be long term and significant, and perhaps quite practical or even overly so. There may be a sobering moment now that pushes you forward. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow, however, this is not necessarily a good time to launch something important to you. Making resolutions is just fine, especially if it’s about taking a hard look at what kinds of attitudes and situations that need to go before moving on.
Taurus
Taurus
There may be some confusion about a friendship or group alliance this morning, dear Taurus, but if you’re open to learning from others and from your experiences, it’s a good time for understanding and accepting differences, and getting to a better place for it. Being realistic about your financial situation is important now. Whether it’s good or bad, knowing where you stand is empowering; avoiding the issue only serves to undermine you. Know that there are solutions to any problem you face. Consider wise counsel. A loan or mortgage could come through, but whatever does emerge now comes with increased responsibility. There are solutions to problems to be found from circumstances today, and they’re very practical ones. It’s a strong day for applying yourself to something and working solidly. The New Moon tomorrow can alter your focus or goals, but today is strong for realizing what needs to go, particularly related to excess pleasure, in order for you to move forward in a healthier manner.
Gemini
Gemini
With Venus aligning with Saturn in your opposing sign today, dear Gemini, it’s important to find way to appreciate simple, traditional patterns rather than trying to push for something new. Work on improving trouble areas instead. You might feel caged in, limited, or restricted by others right now, but it’s also a good time for being “in the know”, which is ultimately empowering. A responsibility to or with a partner can be part of the picture now. You’re more able to accept things for what they are, and you may be facing realities about relationships, or experiencing a demand from a significant other. A Sun-Chiron sextile this morning points to a chance to improve a relationship with a boss, parent, or someone in a position of authority. You may be assuming a leadership role in an important area of your life.
Cancer
Cancer
This morning, you may be getting somewhere with a partner, dear Cancer, particularly related to sharing your goals, ideas, and beliefs. You might learn something new about what someone important to you believes, and while there can be differences that are surprising, you can most certainly learn from them. On the job, show your reliable side. You could be gaining respect for the services you provide or for your responsible attitude. You may have to face a reality regarding a work or health matter, or you could be feeling overburdened or stretched to the limit. However, this is also a time for getting your expectations to a realistic place, and this allows you to better plan your next move. Circumstances occurring now are clearing the way towards more capability in work, health, chores, and routines. Love matters can also strike a serious tone today. While you could feel pressured to make a decision, with a New Moon occurring tomorrow, today is best approached as a time to put something behind you rather than the start of something brand new.
Leo
Leo
This morning can bring some important information to light, dear Leo, particularly related to work and research. You can feel better about yourself for accepting a limitation and moving on to something more deserving of your attention. Be as realistic as possible about what an important person in your life is capable of, as this can help you to trust them more. If you feel the weight of a responsibility now, consider what you are willing to work hard for, or whether the goal is worth the sacrifices. If you allow yourself to be realistic about what a person can or cannot do, feels or does not feel, then you can ultimately put more faith and trust in that person. Loyalty and reliability are qualities that are most important to express right now. A serious discussion or revelation can occur now, and although it can renew your focus, it can also bring quite a bit of dissatisfaction to light in a relationship, particularly a romantic one, or with a creative project. Even so, this is about moving forward – coming to a conclusion and going with it. The day’s energies favor deliberate moves and strategy. It’s not the time to jump into something that you haven’t given much thought to. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, and this can serve to shift your focus.
Virgo
Virgo
The morning’s events can stimulate the need to accept a situation, or person, for its limitations, dear Virgo, and this can be empowering. In fact, the whole day has a similar theme to it, as we are better off seeing something for its realities, allowing us to adjust our plans accordingly, which leads to a stronger sense of what we can and can’t accomplish. A responsibility or commitment to family might need your attention. While you may be feeling the weight of your responsibilities strongly now, there can be progress made on the home front, and if you are working at or on the home, you are more interested in applying yourself to something that will have value over the long-term. Work done now can be especially fruitful down the road, although brand new beginnings are best saved until after the New Moon that occurs tomorrow. Today is strong for identifying priorities, particularly surrounding affairs of the heart and family matters.
Libra
Libra
Today is strong for recognizing problem areas in your life, dear Libra, and making plans to deal with them. It’s empowering, although a little sobering at first. There may be a reality to face when it comes to a learning or communications endeavor. You might receive or give very practical advice and learn much in the process. Wisdom may be found in traditional methods, and you may be quite focused on finding solutions to long-standing problems. You might receive news of an important learning endeavor, or circumstances may be such that you need to become more organized and efficient with your work and daily life. Transportation or communications issues might change or require special attention. Limits or restrictions may be in order. This is a good time for seeing what areas of life need some slimming down in order to go forward a lighter, freer person.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Recent efforts towards restructuring and organizing your life can show signs of paying off today, dear Scorpio. You are exceptionally security-minded at this time, affording you the opportunity to see where you can slim down and eliminate excess in your life, particularly related to finances. This is a day for embracing practical realities, although you might also be facing the cost of extravagances. With self-control and focus, you can make real improvements to your life now and going forward. It’s a good time for taking a hard look at your finances, including any larger purchase you are considering making, with realism. For some of you, a demand or responsibility can emerge in a close partnership. You also have an eye for practical details and sight for situations and objects that will last over the long term. However, with a New Moon occurring tomorrow, it’s best to focus on purging and simplifying than on new commitments. Taking control of your life requires time and energy, and you are in a better position to see what you are willing to sacrifice in order to achieve your goals.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
With Venus and Saturn in alignment in your own sign today, dear Sagittarius, this is a time for seeing your capabilities realistically, instead of over- or under-estimating them, and this empowers you. With patience, this can improve your chances of success in whatever you set your mind on doing. Some of the tension you have been feeling of late can dissipate as you take a clearer look at things. There could also be an important revelation about your finances, a love relationship, or friendship. Be sure that you don’t assume more responsibility than you should, and while it’s appropriate to take responsibilities on, it’s not about taking on too much. With this Saturnine influence on your sign and Jupiter, your ruler, now retrograde, try not to take yourself too seriously now. A New Moon that occurs tomorrow is likely to shift your focus to building, producing, and acquiring.
Capricorn
Capricorn
This morning, good energy is with you for honing communications skills, dear Capricorn. Retrograde Mercury moves into your sign today as well, and this can prompt you to take a closer look at recent projects and your own personal goals in order to improve them. Later today, there may be a reality to face about a dream or fantasy you’ve been entertaining. As a result, you are in the position to know where you stand, making life a little more predictable. You do well with the grounding energy with us today. Personal responsibilities become clear. You can have a stronger understanding of where you stand and a sense of what comes next as a result. You have an eye for what really matters today, and are happier than usual to part with things that you don’t really need. This comes at a good time, as this is the day before a New Moon in your sign. It’s appropriate to focus on letting go of those things that are weighing you down so that you can better use the opportunities that a New Moon in your sign brings to start fresh and turn over a new leaf.
Aquarius
Aquarius
With Venus and Saturn aligning in your social sector today, dear Aquarius, you might enjoy coming to the aid of a friend, or following through on a promise. This sector also rules hopes, ideals, and networks. While there may be a reality to face, this is also a time for seeing things more clearly and getting a better sense of what is realizable and worthy of your time and attention. For some, social or romantic opportunities may be found through associates, group associations, friends, and networking. A question of accountability or commitment involving a friend or business goal can be in focus. Be careful that you are not allowing fears get in the way of healthy relations. The chance to improve skills or to learn a subject in a more formal way can emerge for some of you. You might also be learning important things about the past, and possibly discovering a talent or resource that you previously overlooked now.
Pisces
Pisces
This morning, pay special attention to your relationships with friends, dear Pisces, as friends have something special to reveal or show you. Today, a new responsibility can emerge, or the awareness of one! This can be a pleasant or beneficial one. A boss, parent, or teacher could be leaning on you, looking upon you favorably, or encouraging you to shine. There may be social or romantic opportunities through career and business connections for some of you now. Being conservative, realistic, discreet, and disciplined when it comes to business or public affairs is especially important today. While there may be sobering or serious circumstances today, they clear the path to move forward and to grow. Foundations laid down now can be very enduring. However, avoid beginning an entirely new project today – wait until after the New Moon tomorrow when new information and interests can come to light.
Love might seem scarce today, but we may be pleasantly surprised if we slow down and look beyond surface appearances. It’s tempting to show our displeasure by withdrawing emotionally as the austere Venus-Saturn conjunction resonates through our lives. Blending the warmth of Venus with the coldness of Saturn requires hard work. Meanwhile, the Moon’s shift into goal-oriented Capricorn at 10:06 am EST confirms that there are no shortcuts to happiness.
Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
Giving someone the cold shoulder isn’t nice, even if you want to send a message of disapproval today. Withdrawing support isn’t helpful if your response is actually based on your current fear of the unknown. It’s more productive to engage in an honest discussion about the cause of your concerns without throwing any blame around. However, don’t expect the tension to dissipate immediately. A river cuts through rock not because of its power but because of its persistence.
Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
It’s no fun feeling like you’re being left out of all the action today. It’s as if there’s an emotional chill in the atmosphere now that affectionate Venus is burdened by the weight of karmic Saturn. Although you might push back against the resistance at first, the smartest way to turn an uncomfortable situation into a sweet one is to let go of control. Relinquish some of your independence voluntarily; it’s a small price to pay in the big scheme of things and can improve your chances of feeling like you’re a part of the pack.
Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
You may be required to make a tough choice today, especially if you’re not one to sign on to a commitment easily. You could be quite convincing now as you reveal your desire for greater intimacy in a relationship, but you might still feel the urge to run for the hills if someone gets too close to your heart. Thankfully, you’re not doomed to repeat the same old patterns just because you’re worried about getting hurt. Mustering up the courage to push past your fears is the secret to your happiness.
Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
Gaining support from a coworker is tricky business today, but you won’t know what you might receive unless you ask for it. Even if you can’t imagine that anyone will actually go the extra mile on your behalf, taking a calculated risk could turn out in your favor. Don’t scare yourself by assuming the current situation demands an all-or-nothing approach. Instead, be cautious and systematically establish common ground as the basis of a solid working relationship. You’re not alone; let others nurture you the way you would nurture them.
Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
It could be awkward to engage in a casual conversation today because your feelings might be exposed, and you’re worried that you won’t get what you want. Ironically, your unspoken concerns could manifest into a self-fulfilling prophesy, especially if you choose to withdraw from social interactions. Luckily, you have the resolve to overcome the negativity of your own fears. Turn things around quickly by changing your attitude and opening your heart.
Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
It may be disheartening if you don’t receive the respect you deserve from a loved one as vulnerable Venus bumps into judgmental Saturn in your 4th House of Home and Family. You’ve done everything right, yet your ego can trick you into believing you should be more appreciated than you are today. Don’t waste your time dreaming about receiving accolades and standing ovations. The best reward is the deep satisfaction that comes from within when you know you’ve done your very best.
Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
Too much resistance from a friend or coworker doesn’t give you an excuse to sulk and brood today. Don’t isolate yourself from your companions just because you think that everything isn’t copacetic between you. It may be tempting to hide your feelings from those closest to you, but this avoidance tactic is not a satisfying solution. Confronting the shortcomings of a relationship might put you back in touch with what you admire about each other the most.
Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
You’re not inclined to put too much effort into sharing your feelings today. In fact, you’re quite practical when it comes to allocating your time and energy now that resourceful Venus joins forces with austere Saturn in your 2nd House of Resources. You may be very straightforward about cutting back on frivolous pleasures to assure you will have what you need on a rainy day. Naturally, exercising caution makes logical sense at first. However, there’s an unlimited supply of love in the universe, so you can always splurge when your heart is involved.
Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
The time has come to make a crucial decision about how to spend or save your money. But this choice goes much deeper than being a simple cash flow problem because the underlying issue is more likely about your self-esteem. When you realize all the skills you have to offer, your earning power could grow beyond your current expectations. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you’re worth any less than you actually are. Real wealth is not about your income potential; it’s about appreciating what is already yours.
Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
There’s no reason to suffer in silence today if you’re willing to face an old fear with a fierce new attitude. Your emotional isolation is probably more voluntary than you care to admit now that the sobering Venus-Saturn conjunction influences your 12th House of Invisibility. It helps to acknowledge that the current situation is not the same as what happened in your past. You can choose to respond defensively, based on an old habit, or you can live in the present. There’s no question about it, being an optimist is a much more empowering strategy than being a pessimist.
Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
Don’t rush to the conclusion that your friends are putting you down today when your limited perceptions may be contributing to your worries. In fact, you could be so sensitive now that you imagine trouble where there isn’t any. Unfortunately, it might be too late to sidestep a dance with discomfort. Nevertheless, it’s not necessary to project your previous failures onto others; discuss your concerns without pointing fingers at anyone. A heart-to-heart discussion may be all that’s needed to put things right.
Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
Unfortunately, there’s no room on your busy schedule to surrender to your desires now. Instead, you must maintain an emotionally cool and competent presence at work while flirty Venus hooks up with responsible Saturn in your 10th House of Career. There’s no time to waste energy complaining about what you’re missing as you strive to achieve your long-term goals. Seeking personal satisfaction can wait; practicing patience today is your best strategy for realizing your dreams tomorrow.
This morning’s energy is spunky and edgy, dear Aries. While changes may certainly be in order, watch that you are acting true to your own heart and not simply reacting to others. The Moon continues to stimulate your adventurous side today, but Jupiter turns retrograde today, and this points to some natural waning of misplaced enthusiasm. Until May, Jupiter is retrograde in your work and health sector and this can tame your enthusiasm just enough that you’re seeing these things more realistically. Try not to take on more projects now, and instead focus on what you’ve already begun. Edit, refine, and improve your work projects and self-care endeavors rather than taking on more. Today, good energy is building for trust in your close relationships.
Taurus
Taurus
With Jupiter turning retrograde in your solar fifth house today, dear Taurus, this is a time of realigning your thinking and your plans, particularly those along the lines of creative projects, romance, entertainment, and children. Jupiter is retrograde until May 9th. You could experience some waning enthusiasm towards a romance or creative endeavor in the next while. It’s time for some tweaking, and a different perspective on these matters, and is best viewed as a time to catch your breath. There is no need to put things on hold. Some de-emphasis of your pursuit of pleasures/entertainment can be practical now. Romantic prospects are still very good, although in the coming weeks, you might be refining your approach to getting what (and who) you want in love. This can also be a good time for reviewing your financial responsibilities. This morning, your attention can be divided, and you could find it rather difficult to concentrate. Aim to tone down rough edges.
Gemini
Gemini
Jupiter has been bringing strong and enthusiastic energy to your domestic projects and home life recently, dear Gemini, and today Jupiter turns retrograde until May 9th. This signals a time for reassessing matters – for making tweaks to your plans – particularly related to family, home, and partnership. Some waning of enthusiasm can be experienced as you adjust to this energy, but any slowdowns encountered now actually offer you the chance to look at your plans from a different perspective so that you can move forward with them with more confidence at a later date. Family life will continue to reward you for many months to come, but some de-emphasis and review is appropriate and beneficial now. This morning favors new approaches and flexibility. If you can avoid the tendency to move too fast and to live on your nerves (or only in your brain), you can come to very interesting, and possibly prophetic, insights. Keep your feet on the ground.
Cancer
Cancer
Jupiter turns retrograde today, dear Cancer, and will continue to move in retrograde motion until May 9th. While there continues to be good energy for learning, studies, communications, and transportation in your life, some de-emphasis, review, or toning down in these areas is appropriate and beneficial now. It may be wise to slow down when it comes to taking on new interests and projects, and to focus on enjoying and developing what you already have in place. It’s not the time to abandon projects, but rather for making refinements, and this may also be true for work and health endeavors. Today, there may be cantankerous energies surrounding a partnership or parent/boss, but a sense of moving forward is with you. Avoid quick reactions.
Leo
Leo
Jupiter turns retrograde today, dear Leo, and will continue retrograde motion until May 9th. This yearly event points to a need to reassess some of our projects, or to work on developing existing projects rather than taking on new ones. You might experience what seem like turnarounds or waning enthusiasm in the areas of finances, creativity, or romance. However, as you adjust to the retrograde period, you’ll recognize that this is a strong period for reassessing these matters more realistically, for easing up on spending, and for more realistically considering how much time and energy you have for your projects and recreation. This is about restoring balance in your life. This morning requires patience, particularly regarding opinions, directions, and instructions. Something you hear might stimulate a new way of thinking, so don’t totally disregard communications now. Simply take some time before reacting.
Virgo
Virgo
Jupiter turns retrograde today, dear Virgo, and while it continues to transit your sign and stimulate enthusiasm and optimism, some of this is now turning inward. It’s a good time to tame excess and overreaching. If you’ve been overdoing the seeking of freedom, this is the time to rethink and make adjustments that bring you a little closer to earth. This morning, you could be feeling a little on edge, particularly related to creative projects and intimate relationships, and especially if you don’t know where you stand in a situation or with someone. Try to remain flexible and avoid sticking stubbornly to old methods. The Moon continues to transit your home and family sector, all day, and the need to stick with familiar or secure and safe situations actually serves to replenish emotions and heal you in small but significant ways.
Libra
Libra
Jupiter turns retrograde in your privacy sector today, dear Libra, and will continue to move in retrograde until May 9th. This can be a time when you have much going on behind the scenes. Your faith in your own instincts may not be as strong as it has been, or you could struggle a little with your faith in life itself to meet your needs. This is a temporary and in fact necessary process that allows you to reassess where it is you want to be, where you’re headed, and whether your connection to your spiritual side is in need of some nurturing. In fact, as you adjust to this energy, you may find that coming out of your protective shell more often can be beneficial. You may need to slow down taking on new mental interests and learning projects so that you can come to a better balance in your life. Today, there can be difficulties concentrating in the morning as you may feel pulled in a number of different directions, and it may be unclear where you’re headed. As the day advances, you might find that focusing on the moment is best and worrying too much about your next step can be a waste of energy when you are uncertain of the final destination.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Jupiter turns retrograde today, dear Scorpio, and will remain in retrograde motion until May 9th. This annual period is good for review and taming of extravagances. For you, Jupiter retrograde periods always affect money matters, and this year, also influences your friends and goals. If you have too many ideas or projects on your plate, this is a good time to see which ones are most viable. Aim to pare things down. Some of you could be reassessing your involvement with a friend or group or simply toning down your social life a little. It’s a good time to look at spending and business matters in a new way. This morning, there can be some chaotic moments as things may not go exactly as planned. Know your limits and respect them.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Your ruler, Jupiter, which is currently moving through your professional zone, turns retrograde today, dear Sagittarius. You may need to curb your enthusiasm a little on the professional front now – just enough to gain new perspective and to focus on projects that are doable. Even so, there can be a pleasant feeling of letting things unfold naturally, and faith that they will work out in the end. You are seeing your capabilities for what they are, rather than over or under-estimating them. You might decide to review, edit, and perfect current projects rather than taking on new ones just for the time being, as you may have been sensing recently that you’ve taken on too much. Enjoy the moment, but capture it as well so that you can carry it forward. This is not a time for actively expanding, but rather for reaping the rewards of recent successes, and focusing your energy on those projects already underway. Generally speaking as well, this is a natural time for easing up on excesses. The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, however, and some self-pampering today is quite appropriate. It’s a time of the lunar month for recognizing needs for nurture. This morning’s Sun-Uranus square can overstimulate, so watch for too-quick moves, particularly with money and love.
Capricorn
Capricorn
With Jupiter retrograde today until May 9th, dear Capricorn, it’s a natural time for adjusting expectations to better match energy levels and time. This is a good time for turning inward and getting in touch with what truly motivates and enthuses you, particularly related to belief systems, intellectual pursuits, and long-range goals. Some of the faith you’ve been nurturing may seem to drop away, but only just enough for you to see your plans in a different, more realistic light. Jupiter will continue to excite your interest in venturing out and broadening your horizons until October. While it’s retrograde, you’re more inclined to think over and review current projects and ideas, however, than actively pursue new ones. Today, a Sun-Uranus square can overstimulate you this morning, particularly if you have been holding on to frustrations that beg release. It can be difficult to accept restrictive conditions right now.
Aquarius
Aquarius
Mental tension can continue this morning, dear Aquarius, with the Sun in hard aspect to your ruler, Uranus, in mutable houses. Avoid overthinking, but also sidestep impulsive moves. Find a balance now. This can in fact be a good time to see areas of your life that have become dysfunctional and that are best left behind you. With Jupiter turning retrograde today, you may need to redirect some of your energy away from a partnership or a focus on others if this has been excessive. In the coming months, until May 9th, there is good energy for reviewing, reassessing, and moderating debt. It’s also a time for developing current projects rather than taking on new ones. Think in terms of correcting excesses. If you’ve been overspending or over-borrowing, or otherwise too dependent on others for your happiness, then this is a time for bringing things back into balance.
Pisces
Pisces
A Sun-Uranus challenge this morning can put the pressure on, dear Pisces, but it’s better not to rush anything right now. If you haven’t been recognizing a need to make changes in your practical affairs or social life, there can be some tension experienced today, but also an important awakening to new ideas and possibilities for improving your methods, income, and relationships. Today, Jupiter begins a four-month retrograde period. This annual event tends to affect your professional goals and aspirations, and this year, also your partnerships and negotiations. This is a time for taking a more realistic look at current projects and for developing these rather than taking on more. A partnership or friendship may need a little breathing room and the chance to unfold naturally. Jupiter retrograde and direct periods honor the natural ebb and flow of things – there are times to push forward and times to slow down and review.
It’s that time of year again, when we all promise to correct our bad habits and become perfect people. Riiiiight! As we all know, New Year resolutions are made to be broken … but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make them.
Whether we stick to them is not always the point. It’s more about adjusting our focus each year to gain greater awareness. Little by little, that awareness can help us clean up our mucky areas and get closer to living the lives we desire.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
If one of your resolutions last year was to finish projects that are still sitting on your shelf, it’s time to box them up and make room for a brand new endeavor. Here’s the resolution you will need to make it a success: I won’t start a new project until I finish the one I’m working on.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Your fixed energy makes you great at follow through, but it can also keep you stuck in bad habits. Resolve to tackle a few of your worst ones this year. If you are true to your resolutions for just three months, you will be well on your way to breaking even the most stubborn habit.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Your whirlwind life can be a lot of fun — and it certainly isn’t boring — but it might serve you well to slow down this coming year. Even though patience isn’t your strong suit, try adding a dash of it here and there. It will help you make progress in areas where your bouncy energy has actually been holding you back.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You love your routines and your security, but it’s time to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Resolve to reach out into unknown territory and see what you find this year. If it feels scary, remember that you’re just coming up on an edge where you need to stretch.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Have you used your irresistible charms to capture emotional prisoners this past year? If you’re a player — and you know who you are — resolve to be more devoted this year. Open up that big heart of yours and take your relationships to a deeper level.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Nag, nag, nag … the only time you stop is when you’re nitpicking. Okay, that’s a huge exaggeration … but chances are you’ve gotten on someone’s case a little too often this past year. Resolve to lighten up this year and let others take care of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
As hard as you try, you can’t have it both ways. Promise yourself you will make firmer decisions this coming year. You can still weigh all of your alternatives, but when it comes down to the line, make up your mind and stick to it. Your friends and colleagues will breathe a sigh of relief.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Keeping secrets adds to your mysterious allure, but there’s a limit. If you’re using your power to manipulate others, that’s where it needs to end. Resolve to be more transparent with those close to you this year. Let them in on your deepest secrets and enjoy the fruits of greater intimacy.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
You’re good at thinking big and you shouldn’t change that this year … but you might want to put more time into developing strategies that will help you reach your lofty goals. Remember — a goal without a plan is just a dream — so make this the year you follow through.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Here’s your mantra-resolution: It’s not all about money. Keep pursuing the almighty dollar if you like, but also take time to smell the roses that line your path to success. Your friends and family need you. Resolve to be more generous with your time and attention.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Even though we all love your quirkiness, it wouldn’t hurt to develop a bit more tolerance for the traditional. As it’s the flip side of where you usually put your energy, it may feel uncomfortable. But you shine when it comes to breaking the mold, so surprise everyone (again!) with a side of you they’ve never seen.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
This is the year to put your compassion to better use. Resolve to find a project where you can help others in need. Your understanding and supportive nature is a gift you need to give on a regular basis. Reach out and extend it beyond your friends and family.
A partner may be a little too impatient or even aggressive in stance today, dear Aries, and then brood or withhold later today! Of course, somewhere in between would be ideal, but a little difficult to get there, especially as Mercury and Mars challenge one another, and with Mars your ruler, irritation is likely. Nevertheless, you can also choose to use frustrations as motivators to work on something on your own or to set your own pace, and you might find you thoroughly enjoy the time you take to do so.
Taurus
Taurus
There is a tendency to rush, push, and nitpick today, dear Taurus, with a Mercury-Mars conflict in the first half of the day. Chances are that a difference of opinion can bother you more than it would normally because you feel rushed in other areas of life. Try to pull back on the pressure and don’t overload yourself with things to do. With the Moon entering your romance and “play” sector this afternoon, you are likely to feel re-energized. It’s a time for spontaneity and enjoyment, but a Venus-Pluto conflict late tonight can point to a love dilemma, suspicion, or concern.
Gemini
Gemini
This morning, remember the old adage that haste makes waste, dear Gemini. Be particularly careful when it comes to expressing yourself with a lover or with someone about an intimate or tricky matter. One could be playful and teasing while the other can be taking things quite seriously. Impatience can be an issue now. You might prefer to stick to familiar settings from afternoon forward as the Moon moves into your home and family sector. Life slows down a touch, but moods can still be quite sensitive.
Cancer
Cancer
Watch carefully for a tendency to want to do too much, too fast in the first half of the day, dear Cancer. It’s a little too easy to become irritated, particularly with a partner or family member who may be disagreeable or provoking. Differences of opinion might be taken too personally now. The Moon moves into your communications sector this afternoon, and you tend to crave intellectual stimulation and change. Tonight’s Venus-Pluto challenge can incline others to be a little secretive or withholding.
Leo
Leo
While you should definitely watch for impatience in the first half of the day, dear Leo, the Moon is in your sign and you are bound to get noticed. You might feel that you can benefit from asserting yourself, but there can be hasty conclusions drawn now, as well as a tendency to speak too harshly, so watch for this. You may be sensitive to offhand remarks as well, but keep in mind that it’s all too easy to speak before thinking this morning, and tonight, to keep things to oneself and brood. The Moon moves into your solar second house this afternoon, which can certainly help settle emotions and increase patience.
Virgo
Virgo
Take extra care driving, getting around, drawing conclusions, and communicating today, dear Virgo, as there can be a tendency to be impatient and short with others, without intending to offend. The Moon moves into your sign this afternoon, and emotions awaken. You are noticed more than you have been in the last couple of days, and if you aren’t getting the attention you crave, you’re more likely to seek it out. Relations with lovers or possibly children might be a little strained today. Try not to give in to pressure that you need to pay an arm and a leg to enjoy yourself, as there are plenty of activities that are free or near-free that you can enjoy with people you love.
Libra
Libra
This morning, be careful that you don’t unintentionally mislead others by making an error of omission or by overstating, no matter how good your intentions, dear Libra. Watch also for impatience – the pace can be intense but tripping up is more likely if you rush through things. It may very well be that you’re putting too much pressure on yourself. Pressure is everywhere and you need to concentrate on only the most important tasks instead of spreading yourself too thin today. If you are able to narrow your focus sufficiently, you can get through just fine but it will take some effort. Keep the faith as pressures will pass quickly. Avoid communicating in a way that is construed as sarcastic later today.
Scorpio
Scorpio
Wherever you go today, dear Cancer, you’re sure to get noticed. This is because the Moon is transiting the most visible and notable area of your chart today. You might find others are a little too aggressive about their needs today, dear Scorpio. While this can be frustrating, you might appreciate in retrospect towards the end of the day when the tendency is to brood! Neither way is healthy, and ideally, you’ll avoid either extreme and approach others directly without being pushy. Rise above others’ faux pas. The people you want to notice you don’t seem to, and the people you don’t want to look your way, do. It’s just one of those days. Don’t expect others to read your mind, even if you think the signals you’re giving them are loud and clear. Ask for what you want instead, or wait until a better day to go after what you want.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
You can find yourself in a bit of a tizzy in the first half of the day, dear Sagittarius, and turning to others for a sense of stability could be a lesson in frustration. Insecurities can breed all sorts of conflict if left to grow. Identify the root problem and start there, but if you notice unresponsiveness or defensiveness from others, wait for a better day to tackle major issues, as blockages are very likely to be felt right now. People seem to either be spilling too much or keeping far too much to themselves.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Demands from others may seem to be flying at you from all directions in the first half of the day, dear Capricorn, and then later today, you may feel that others keeping things from you. Fortunately you are more than capable of handling them. Do what you can to take short breaks in order to get centered if you start to feel worn down. The Moon’s move into your solar sector of spirit and adventure helps to lift you above the petty problems of the day.
Aquarius
Aquarius
Interactions with others can be a little edgy today, dear Aquarius, and as a result, you’ll find that you need to handle people with extra care and sensitivity. Others seem to be a little more demanding or impatient than usual, but this doesn’t have to spoil your day. As the day advances, the Moon moves into your strategic, introspective, and observant solar eighth house, and you’re more inclined to slow down and think before you speak. You’ll be able to easily spot any attempts at manipulation you encounter later today. Keep interactions above board, but feel free to keep some things to yourself for safekeeping.
Pisces
Pisces
A tense aspect between Mercury and Mars can stimulate impatience and a fast pace this morning, dear Pisces, but consider that you may be putting too much pressure on yourself (and possibly others) to do things quickly. Pay extra attention to what you say, and be especially cautious getting from one place to another. As the day advances, you can become especially aware of imbalance of power in your interactions, and perhaps more sensitive than usual to any power plays that might surface.
*Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
You’re in a more playful and possibly even buoyant mood today, dear Aries. There is an easy ability to express yourself and your feelings. You are generous, open, and forthcoming. As the day moves forward, you might experience a subtle shift in your priorities or your goals as you consider your dreams and ideals and how you might incorporate them into your professional pursuits. Material goals become more satisfying if they are balanced out with endeavors and adjustments that bring you a stronger sense of purpose or meaning. Daydreaming now can actually be very good for the soul. You are drawing upon your intuition, wisdom, and past experience for practical matters and have good business sense.
Taurus
Taurus
There is good energy for spending time with familiar people, dear Taurus. It’s a strong time for activities that boost your feelings of comfort, security, and inner wellness. At the same time, you can be entertaining different dreams of faraway places or new adventures today. There is part of you that is considering making some changes or enhancements to your life experience. You are seeking out different experiences or lines of thought. There can be new, creative ideas, particularly for overcoming problems and negative or distressing situations. It’s a good day for reviewing recently-made plans, particularly those revolving around higher education, travel, and personal or professional expansion.
Gemini
Gemini
There can be a nice focus on connecting, communicating, and learning again today, dear Gemini. You are not ready to commit to any one activity or endeavor, preferring to dabble and enjoy yourself as you do. As the day advances, you’re tuning in to your dreams and ideals. Look for inspiration, as it’s available now if you remain open. Forgiveness and acceptance come more easily now, and can help cleanse you. Try to wind down as much as possible, as an approaching Mercury-Mars square can stimulate your nerves. Care for your body and spirit now by surrounding yourself with positive, reinforcing situations.
Cancer
Cancer
This is a good day for getting centered, establishing priorities, and settling down, dear Cancer. You’re attracted to situations and activities that make you feel more secure and comfortable. Emotions are steadier than usual, and you can fully appreciate what you already have. This is important going forward, as patience can certainly help you to achieve your goals. As the day advances, your sense of what others need or want grows. Rapport with others can be almost telepathic tonight. It’s also a fine time for sharing an idea, belief or dream. Educational or travel plans may come together beautifully now.
Leo
Leo
The Moon is in your sign all day, and your heart tends to rule your head. You can be feeling nostalgic. Your sensitivity, psychic ability, imagination, and intuition are heightened. You can be especially drawn to mysteries or unexplained phenomena now. Especially as the day moves forward, you appreciate a warm, accepting, and hospitable atmosphere. A research matter can fall into place as you seem to hone in on the right information or the picture fills in your mind, and in a general sense as well, you have faith that things will fall in place for you going forward.
Virgo
Virgo
The Moon in your solar twelfth house all day points to some need to withdraw or take extra time to process, think, decide, and act, dear Virgo. Unresolved matters from the past can resurface, and this allows you to better understand where you are now. Your inner landscape is animated today, and as we move towards a Sun-Neptune influence, this is reinforced. Your imagination is enhanced. Good energy is with you for relating to others. There is acceptance now, and recognition that control is only an illusion, which helps you to surrender to the unknown. What will be, will be is the motto for later today! It can help you to relax and enjoy the moment.
Libra
Libra
Your needs for companionship that has few expectations is strong today, dear Libra. You’re inclined to put your social life and happiness goals at the top of your list right now. Even so, there is also good energy with you as the day advances for some level of mental or physical retreat. Seek out the pause that refreshes. You might see a family or work matter in a different, more understanding light. The desire to accept and empathize is strong, and this encourages the kind of patience that benefits you greatly.
Scorpio
Scorpio
You can be in the position of being in charge or in the lead today, dear Scorpio. You may not get away with much today – people are noticing you! It’s a good time to assess your priorities and to take care of some of your duties or obligations. As the day advances, we approach a Sun-Neptune sextile which serves to reconnect us with our spiritual goals, compassion, and intuition. Creative entertainment can be soothing, healing, and especially beneficial now, so aim to let go of duties later today and enjoy some down time. Someone you meet, or who is already in your life, can expand your perspective. There is creative flair to your presentation, particularly your communications, and it can be a good time to make a connection, share ideas, and express your feelings.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
The Moon is in a Fire sign, just like yours, dear Sagittarius, and this all-day influence gently encourages easy expression and emotional satisfaction. As the day advances, we approach a Sun-Neptune sextile that helps us to seek out beauty in our lives. Consciously slow yourself down and tap into this “go with the flow” philosophy. Remind yourself of your most important goals and values. It’s a strong time for assessing your current path and thinking up ways to flesh things out with spiritual and emotional goals in such a way that they are more fulfilling and motivating.
Capricorn
Capricorn
This is a good day for accessing your inner wisdom and your powers of observation, dear Capricorn. For one, the Moon in your intimacy sector tends to stimulate your need to look for the layers of situations and people rather than taking things at face value. For another, the Sun and Neptune are moving towards a harmonious angle, encouraging attention drawn towards your imagination and intuition. As the day advances, sharing some of your expertise with others or reaching out and showing your support makes sense. Act on charitable impulses.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You are able to see others’ perspectives quite easily, dear Aquarius, effortlessly slipping into their shoes. Understanding is a wonderful form of support, so aim to express it. Inner mental imagery can help or hinder you, and is likely to do the former today, particularly as the day advances and we move towards a Sun-Neptune sextile that further enhances your intuition and empathy. You can be feeling strongly about helping others, and volunteering your support or services can be rewarding.
Pisces
Pisces
This is another day for focusing on the routines of your life and the details that need attention, dear Pisces. As the day advances, you’re likely to feel more and more in your element with the Sun and Neptune approaching a harmonious angle. Others are especially supportive of you, especially as you let go of expectations. Accommodating others can be very satisfying as well. You’re less focused on what matters to you and more interested in the bigger or broader picture. It’s easier to empathize with others, and this attracts them to you.

Instead of parties and other social gatherings, you might prefer to snuggle up together alone in the privacy of your own home. Or, you might consider a couple’s retreat in order to recharge your spiritual batteries together.

What’s your favorite part of the holidays? Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Winter Solstice, you’ve got plenty of traditions to choose from. Here are some of each zodiac sign’s favorite ways to make the season merry.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
You’re in luck, Aries, because most holiday traditions include your favorite element — Fire! Both Kwanzaa and Hanukkah have candle-lighting rituals that last seven days. On Christmas day, you can take charge of burning the Yule log, an ancient custom that originated in pagan winter solstice Fire festivals.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
With all of their delicious traditional foods, the holidays are made for your discerning palate. Christmas party hosts would be wise to check with you when it comes to fine-tuning their spiked eggnog. And if you’re Jewish, surely your latkes are the tastiest.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Some people complain about the holidays being too busy, but this time of year is perfect for your short attention span. You love keeping your dance card chock full as you flit from shopping spree to social gathering. Don’t be surprised if your family nicknames you “the Blur.”
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
From twinkling lights to boughs of holly, you excel in making your home a warm and comfy haven for intimate gatherings, often decorating with your own handcrafted items. Your friends and family rely on you to create the perfect atmosphere for their best holiday memories.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
With your big heart, giving thoughtful presents is key to a happy holiday. You also love to hang with the kids because they bring out your playful side … so you’re usually the one on the floor helping them open, assemble and play with their new toys.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
You love the miraculous story of Mary’s virgin birth, so you look forward to setting up a creche each Christmas season. Since white is your color, you surround the manger scene with billows of cotton snow. Spraying white frost figures on your windows is another one of your favorites. And if it snows on Christmas day … ecstasy!
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
You have a blast picking out ribbons, paper and other baubles for wrapping presents. It calls on your artistic abilities, satisfies your love of beauty and gives you practice in overcoming your personal bugaboo — indecision — since you’ve only got so many shopping days before your gifts must be wrapped and ready.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
For you, dear Scorpio, it’s got to be mistletoe. Adopted from Scandinavia, this tradition gives you the perfect excuse to amp your favorite flirtation up a notch. One can never tell what will come of a kiss in a doorway … but you could have a very happy New Year!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
You’re a big fan of getting away for the holidays, but if you must stay home, gambling with your cronies on a Christmas football game — or playing a competitive game online — can satisfy your restless nature. For Jewish celebrants, try a bout of the traditional Hanukkah betting game and spin the dreidel.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Family traditions of all types make your nostalgic soul happy as long as they follow the same patterns you grew up with. The Christmas dinner table must have all of your favorite dishes, and everything else, from decorating the tree to opening presents, must be “just so” as well.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Some families have developed a tradition of volunteering to help the needy during the holidays. Whether that means donating toys to children or helping out in a soup kitchen, you and your community-oriented soul are on board. Sending a hefty donation to your favorite cause might also be on your list.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Even though you usually describe yourself as spiritual rather than religious, you make an exception for Christmas when you look forward to attending a midnight Mass. The dimly lit cathedral with twinkling candles, chiming bells, magical singing and chanted prayers feeds your mystical soul.
You are looking for harmony today, dear Aries, and you’re more likely to get it as a result, and with the help of a Venus-Jupiter influence today. There is a greater love of mystery, investigation, and intrigue today but not necessarily the self-discipline or focus to really get involved. People are giving you the benefit of the doubt, and vice versa. The Moon is building towards Full, exact early tomorrow, and it will fall in your home and family sector, amping up emotions and making it a wonderful time to honor and pay more attention to family.
Taurus
Taurus
Today, opportunities open up for sharing your happiness with others, dear Taurus, with your ruler, Venus, in harmony with Jupiter, both in your relationship and love/creative sectors.

There can be realizations and epiphanies about love and friendship now.
Gemini

We are building towards a Full Moon, exact tomorrow morning, that can illuminate these needs even further. It’s a fine time to celebrate, enjoy yourself, and connect with the world of the five senses.
Cancer
Cancer
There continues to be a rather retiring quality to your personality and emotions today, dear Cancer. However, you seem to be able to get a lot of things done rather quietly with the Moon in your privacy sector in harmony with Mars in your family and home sector. As the day advances, we build towards a Full Moon which will occur tomorrow morning in your own sign, awakening your emotions to something that you’ve buried or avoided. The desire to share your good feelings with people you love is strong again today.
Leo

The Moon is in your sociable sector all day and harmonizing with your sign, dear Leo, awakening your innate friendliness and humanitarian inclinations.

Seek out ways to refresh and heal yourself emotionally.

There is good energy for togetherness, personal appeal, and home life.

Your sense of community is big tonight as the Moon moves to full in your social sector. There can be more demands on your time and the need to help others out, but an ease to your ability to meet others’ needs. You seem to be the go-to person now.
Libra
Libra
Strong energy is with you on practical levels again today, dear Libra, but it’s also a strong time for enjoying the world of the five senses, comforts, and pleasures. There can be a feeling of peace with the past. You may be feeling quite positive about your capacity to earn a living and connections you make now can help further your desires. Alternatively, you may be enjoying a wonderful feeling of abundance now. You are feeling generous, although a little insular. The Full Moon that occurs early tomorrow can be a time of epiphanies revolving around business, career, life path, and direction. You may be in the position to take the lead.
Scorpio
Scorpio
This morning is excellent for personal appeal, dear Scorpio, and coming to a sense of calm through consciously letting go of tensions. Your mood is still quite insular, but you are also quite willing to socialize and cooperate. We are building towards a Full Moon, and this one will occur in your adventure sector tomorrow morning. This is a good time for announcements, celebrations, and epiphanies. It’s emotional now, and quite pleasantly so.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
There can be some privacy or a retiring quality when it comes to your love relationships or feelings and pleasure-seeking activities, dear Sagittarius. This is because Venus is in your soul sector. Today’s Venus-Jupiter connection emphasizes the good feelings associated with this position, and also increases your personal magnetism, even if you are a little mysterious. A feeling of inner peace and joy tends to boost your appeal. A private or anonymous act of kindness might lift your spirits as well. The Moon is almost Full, with a Full Moon occurring early morning tomorrow. This can be a time of heightened awareness of your intimacy needs.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Life seems to wind down early today, dear Capricorn, when it’s easier to take things as they come and to feel calm and at peace. Venus and Jupiter are in happy relationship, and this encourages cooperation and positive thinking. It also encourages sharing ideas and coming to happy conclusions about the future and where you feel you’re headed. You are connecting with others through ideas, visions, and ideals. Social and leisure activities can thrive. The Moon is moving towards Full in your opposite sign, and will be exact tomorrow morning. This can bring feelings to your awareness, an epiphany, a plan to fruition, or a relationship to a turning point.
Aquarius
Aquarius
This can be a strong day for getting to a happy perspective of recent problems, dear Aquarius. It’s a good time for big-picture life plan thinking and strategy. A sense that there’s time to achieve what you’d like to achieve is with you now, and this is comforting, and interestingly, quite motivating as well. It’s a powerful time for big-time problem solving – as in long-term, big-picture, life plan thinking. It can be easy to find support today, if you need it. We are building towards a Full Moon, which occurs exactly early tomorrow. This lunation brings realizations and feelings to awareness, particularly related to health, wellness, and work matters.
Pisces
Pisces
There can be a wonderfully free, creative and joyful energy to the day, dear Pisces. You could be releasing small burdens or otherwise expressing your feelings quite happily. It’s a good time to circulate, connect, share your ideas, and even for romantic overtures. Not only is a Venus-Jupiter connection enhancing relationships and shared ideas, we are moving towards a Full Moon in your playful, celebratory solar fifth house, making it a strong time to enjoy and share yourself with others. Be generous, forthcoming, and open now.
The holidays are here again — time to think up some fun gift ideas for your friends and family members. Try consulting the zodiac this year! Considering the astrological signs of those on your gift list is a great way to get your gift-giving spirit in gear.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Active Aries is always looking for ways to stay in shape, even during the winter months, so athletic equipment is usually a good choice. People born under this zodiac sign are also fond of the color red, so a cranberry scarf or a scarlet hat could win their favor. If romance is in the air, let Aries know that you put his or her needs first. Buy tickets for two to a sporting event you loathe, or make a playlist of an artist you can’t stand to win big points with your favorite Ram.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus appreciates any gift that appeals to his or her sensual side. A box of gourmet chocolates, a richly colored tapestry, or a soft cashmere blanket are all great options for Bulls. This sign also enjoys having money to play with, so a gift certificate to their favorite store is a welcome option. Always remember that quality is more important than quantity — Taurus would rather have a small bottle of expensive cologne than a carafe of the cheap stuff.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Quick-witted Gemini enjoys gifts that appeal to their sizable intellects. An engaging book is always welcome, as is a magazine subscription. This sign rules the hands, so some scented hand lotion or a sparkling ring might delight. Geminis also love to entertain, so a set of glassware might fit the bill. If you want to splurge on a special Twin, give them the latest cell phone or i-device, so they can keep in touch with their gazillion friends.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Sentimental Cancer loves gifts that have personal meaning. Handmade items always delight, whether it’s a finger painting, angora sweater, or mincemeat pie. This sign also has a special affinity for silver — a monogrammed hand mirror or picture frame would be very well received. Since Crabs have an affinity for liquids of all kinds, a special bottle of wine, a fancy cappuccino maker, or a shiny tea kettle are also good possibilities. And don’t forget that these Moon children love the domestic arts — a cookbook specializing in comfort food is another sure winner.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Lions love gifts that make them look and feel terrific. Hair accessories, cosmetics and grooming items are all good choices for this image-conscious sign. Leos love drama, and enjoy presents that involve a bit of flair. Opera tickets, gold jewelry or animal print lingerie are right up this cat’s alley. Leos also love to gamble, so a sheaf of lottery tickets or a weekend getaway to the casino could make them purr with delight. When shopping for clothing, remember that Lions have a special affinity for red, gold and purple.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Virgins love practical gifts … so avoid dust-catching baubles. A bread-making machine or a power drill would be welcome, but these folks are also known to pride themselves on their impeccable appearance. Scented soaps, lotions and shampoos made by an earth-friendly company might be just the ticket. Virgos are also incredibly organized and might appreciate a good watch or a leather-bound date book. Or try a health-conscious basket of organic foodstuffs.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Libras have a special affinity for music, and always appreciate a good new artist to add to their voluminous collection. If you want to do something really special for a Libra friend, splurge on a two concert tickets — this zodiac sign hates to do anything alone. Born beneath the sign of the Scales, they also need plenty of balance in their lives, so a pair of candlesticks or bookends might appeal. If you’re still stumped for ideas, have a lavish bouquet of red roses delivered accompanied by a loving handwritten note.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Scorpios are secretive by nature and enjoy gifts that obscure their appearance in some way. A pair of designer sunglasses, a filmy scarf or a slouchy hat are all great choices for this sign. These mystery-lovers also enjoy moody, atmospheric stories. A collection of film noirs on DVD are sure to go over well with your favorite Scorpion. The rumors concerning this sign’s sexual appetite are happily true, so seductive lingerie would get plenty of use. Since Scorpios also like to get beneath the surface; a gift certificate for a deep-cleansing facial will be appreciated.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
As far as Archers are concerned, half the fun of getting gifts is ripping them open! If Sag doesn’t like a present, though, he or she will tell you outright. Avoid awkward scenes this holiday season by giving this outdoor enthusiast some camping equipment. Hiking boots or a waterproof parka would also be appropriate. These animal lovers adore any gift associated with their pets. A calendar filled with pictures of dogs or horses is sure to elicit a big smile. Finally, you can always feed this sign’s wanderlust with a comprehensive atlas.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Career-oriented Capricorn always enjoys gifts that will boost their job status. A leather laptop carrier or monogrammed briefcase would be welcome. Contrary to popular belief, though, Goats aren’t all work and no play. This sign is blessed with a wicked sense of humor, so try the “The Office” or “Parks and Recreation” series on DVD. Capricorns also love luxurious presents they’d never buy for themselves, like a silk bathrobe.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You never know what this unpredictable zodiac sign will be doing from moment to moment — one week it’s skydiving and the next it’s yoga! Still, this quirky sign always appreciates technological gadgets, whether it’s the latest i-device or gaming system. If you’d like to choose something a little more personal, why not make a photo album detailing all of your exploits with your favorite Aquarius? Aquarius may not show it, but they harbor a special fondness for their friends. Still stumped for ideas? A basket filled with brand new socks is both weird and practical enough for this sign, which rules the ankles.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
These mystics love gifts of all kinds, but especially ones that help them escape the harsh realities of life. A bottle of champagne, a kaleidoscope, or a book of fairy tales will appeal to your Fishy friends. And because Pisces is a Water sign, it’s a good bet they’ll appreciate bath salts, foaming cleansers and shower gels. If you’d like to give something really special, a digital camera will make a big hit with this natural-born photographer. Looking for a romantic gift? Choose a gilt-edged volume of love poetry.
This is a good day for focusing on activities that promote emotional renewal, dear Aries. You can gain a better perspective on your financial picture as well as your relationships today with Venus and Pluto vibing and the intuitive Moon picking up this energy as well. Look to the talents and resources of others or a partner to see if these can benefit a business. Think strategically and draw on your imagination and past experience/wisdom to your plans and to better understand your connections. You benefit the most today through observation rather than direct action. You should also find ways to soothe nerves. Today and the next few are strong for healing relationship rifts.
Taurus
Taurus
Venus is your ruler, and when it connects well with your partnership ruler, Pluto, you tend to find yourself connecting well with others or reaching a pleasant agreement of sorts, dear Taurus. Today’s Venus-Pluto connection occurs in the morning, but the Moon picks up and carries these energies later on, and you may very well enjoy some special interactions and insights now. Venus happens to be in your partnership sector as well, further boosting possibilities of enhancing or attracting relationships. You’re also coming across with more confidence and personal power. The general vibe is friendly but not frivolous, and this becomes you well. If you want to express your commitment or passion, now is a good time to do so.
Gemini
Gemini
There may be a project that you find especially absorbing and compelling today, dear Gemini, and you are likely interested in exploring things further. Today and this week are strong for investigation, getting to the heart of a matter, and discovering important truths. Research efforts can bring good results, and even if you don’t get somewhere, you enjoy the process. Doing some sleuthing is appealing now. This can also be a good time for looking into a health or fitness matter, for enjoying the process of getting healthier, and possibly finding a way to monetize a favorite activity. You’re likely expected to be on top of things today, and your quiet confidence goes a long way towards gaining respect or recognition.
Cancer
Cancer
This is a strong day for enhancing or attracting a partnership or close relationship, dear Cancer, particularly an affair of the heart. A connection made or a moment shared can be significant and meaningful now. For some, this is about a project or creative work that you love, and you’re ready to pour your heart into it. A relationship or project can fill you with a stronger sense of purpose. You might consider ways to improve or get ahead. There is good intuitive sense today, and your powers of attraction are stronger than usual. There can be a desire to share a belief, dream, or tradition with someone you care about.
Leo
Leo
This is a good day for looking at yourself and your needs or desires honestly, dear Leo, and benefiting from what you discover. You might thoroughly enjoy and throw yourself into a work, health, or home project now, as the motivation is there to do so. Your personal security and comfort with yourself can attract others to you now. There is more intensity in your interactions and/or your love and feeling nature today, such that you may skip over small talk and get to the meat of a matter. This can be a good time to recognize emotional blocks and finding ways to move past them. The Moon in your solar eighth house all day encourages observation and strategy. You benefit most from attracting things to you rather than chasing them just for now.
Virgo
Virgo
Conversations are especially rich and possibly even moving today, dear Virgo, and you may be able to bring a relationship or project to a new level now. You might come up with a good strategy for handling your money, or possibly even for converting a just-for-fun hobby into a money-making business. Others are truly listening to what you have to say now, and your powers of persuasion are at a high. Even so, a good idea you come up with now might better be kept to yourself just for the time being. Sharing an overview with a significant other can be fun, however. Passions and interests don’t always need to be shared, but respecting them is important in any relationship.
Libra
Libra
You’re likely to enjoy warm and supportive interactions today that boost your basic levels of confidence, comfort, and security, dear Libra. Your ability to strategize, and even to hold your tongue, brings the most rewards now with the ruler of your sign, Venus, in beneficial aspect to Pluto. You can inspire trust now, and possibly even awe. Your strength of character is recognized by others and earns you more respect. Whether you’re clearing out your desk, your closet, or your brain, it’s a good time to get rid of what you don’t absolutely need. Progress and self-improvement are in focus. You can make some important changes in your image today, and with money, talents, and resources.
Scorpio
Scorpio
You’re on a roll today, with energy to spare, dear Scorpio. This can be a wonderful day for attracting positive people and energy into your life. You can find yourself naturally drawn to mutually beneficial or simply pleasing social situations, and your manner is especially attractive and appealing. It’s a great time for attracting or building/healing a relationship, and also for building upon and improving a pet project. You are persuasive and personally powerful. It’s a generally good day for making a commitment, particularly to a learning or communications project, or possibly simply purchasing equipment. You are seeing what you truly need and ready to put your heart into whatever moves you.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Relationships with friends are supportive and pleasing today, dear Sagittarius. You might enjoy keeping a secret today as you hold on to something that makes you feel special and you are not quite ready to share it. This is your prerogative, and it may in fact be a good idea to keep things on the down low for now. There is a compelling quality to feelings of love now. Emotional longings can be in strong focus, but more easily understood. There is also good energy for recycling or repurposing resources such that they’re transformed. Your money sense is good now.
Capricorn
Capricorn
You’re in a most expansive and expressive mood today, dear Capricorn. The desire to explore and learn is strong, and any activity that ties you to a desk, that seems stifling or limiting, or that feels lifeless and dull will have you itching to escape. Your powers of magnetic attraction are good right now, and you’ll find it rather easy to maneuver things the way you’d like them to be. Offering your expertise to colleagues can open up great rewards for you these days. You stand to gain the respect and appreciation of others, and self-respect as well. It certainly feels good to contribute and share.
Aquarius

It’s a good day for expressing patience and employing strategy, dear Aquarius. You may be throwing yourself into something you truly love doing, and with this motivation, you can accomplish and uncover a lot.

Others are putting their faith in you as someone who is discreet and professional – someone who can keep a secret if necessary, and who doesn’t need to take credit for everything. There is good money sense with you today, as you’re seeing things for their value and priority.
Pisces
Pisces
Conversations today tend to be intense but pleasant, dear Pisces, and you could be quite impassioned about an idea or a project. Some of you could feel more confident as a result of your involvement in a team, or for contributions you make to a cause or group effort.

Strong creative and/or romantic energies flow today, and you could find yourself attracted to a new idea or person, or interested in repurposing and rejuvenating a current project or relationship.
