Promising more than we can deliver today leads to trouble as the willful Sun dynamically squares overconfident Jupiter. We are prone to exaggerate our expectations and might assume that we will accomplish far more than we can actually reach now. And although the evocative Moon’s shift into futuristic Aquarius at 1:59 pm EDT reminds us that our beliefs shape the road ahead as much as anything else, she also encourages us to overextend ourselves

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might think that everyone wants to do something with you today, making it difficult to focus on your previous commitments. Your popularity is running high and you want to grab every opportunity you can to have fun. But it’s not a great idea to say yes just because you’re afraid of being left out of the action. Balancing your approach to work and play allows you to get the most out of your day.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be extremely excited about all the wonderful things that are happening now because you believe that the current opportunities will lead to greater success. Although you are hopeful about what you can manage today, your expectations are probably out of proportion with reality. Rather than setting yourself up for a fall, avoid the temptation of taking on too much. Surely it’s better to do an admirable job at fewer tasks than to tackle everything haphazardly and fail.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current charm can be quite persuasive now. However, an inflationary square between the Sun and pompous Jupiter warns that you may not remember how to set boundaries and honor limitations. You could inadvertently detract from your accomplishments if you talk too much, so be extra careful about rambling on after you have already made your point. The adage “less is more” is sensible advice to follow today.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You could find yourself wrapped up in a controversy today because you aren’t very concerned about the changes ahead. Your friends or coworkers might try to tell you why you should be acting more maturely, but you just want to have a little fun. Enjoying yourself is wonderful as long as you don’t forget about your previous obligations, especially if others are depending on you now. There’s no substitute for how good you feel when you do something helpful for someone special.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are quite opinionated today and might create situations where you can let everyone know exactly what you think. But others aren’t necessarily interested in listening to your rant for very long, so deliver your message as quickly as possible. Wasting time with too many details only weakens your story and makes you less believable, so demonstrate your ability to be concise and considerate. Use the art of persuasion to your advantage by leaving your audience wanting more.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have a brilliant idea today about an activity that involves your friends. But you can become so excited that your expectations grow by leaps and bounds, making the logistics of your plan unmanageable. Even if you want to do things differently, don’t be so stuck on having your way now that everyone else loses interest. Share your thoughts with others and then listen carefully so you can integrate the best of their feedback.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have a clear sense of what you stand for today, but communicating your beliefs could be challenging if you lose your objectivity. Your optimism can go so far that it inspires you to participate in a project or cause that might be better left alone. But don’t push the issue now if others are resistant and don’t want to go along for the ride. Your chances for success improve when you just allow the events to unfold as naturally as possible.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

These are intense times, making it even more important to find healthy ways to express your feelings. Thankfully, you are in a spiritually uplifting phase, yet someone may still read your energy all wrong. If something you say or do elicits a negative response from others, rest assured that it’s still smarter to share your emotions rather than to bury them. Those that truly know you will understand and appreciate your honesty.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could soar right into an amazing experience today since you’re picking up on an upbeat wave of energy from the Sun’s square to lucky Jupiter. But remember, your key planet Jupiter is the magnifying lens of the cosmos, so it makes everything look bigger and better than it actually is in reality. Nevertheless, do what you do best and focus on the big picture because the general concepts are even more important now than the myriad of details. Don’t sweat the small stuff until next week.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You need to be careful because you could go overboard with the power of your positive thinking today. Ironically, anxiety might arise from too much of a good thing as the illuminating Sun’s square to jolly Jupiter lifts your spirits. Practicing a combination of flexibility and moderation brings you closer to your goals. Thankfully, you can make a lot of progress now if you channel your energy constructively and schedule your time wisely.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends may appear to be more serious about a particular situation than you are today. Fortunately, you’re likely aware of your current Pollyanna tendencies; nevertheless, you still have a lot of good things to say. There’s no need to abandon your optimistic attitude, even if others are overly cautious. Remain positive as long as you can, but don’t embellish the facts just to make your position more convincing. The truth is good enough on its own.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might not want to harbor any secrets today, yet keeping quiet may be necessary to earn someone’s trust. It would certainly be in bad taste if you reveal something private that was told to you in confidence. Fortunately, you have more options because there are so many other interesting topics to discuss. You’ll feel good about your discretion once you fully accept the reasons for your current boundaries. There are some things that are just better left unsaid.
