The moon in Libra creates a pleasant, balanced atmosphere for much of today, especially when it links up with lucky Jupiter in the evening. Also in the evening, Venus and Chiron — a comet that represents the capacity for healing deep emotional wounds — blend their energies, making important emotional breakthroughs possible. If you make an effort now to treat yourself with compassion and understanding, it’ll give you strength to handle other challenges on your plate.
Aries Daily Horoscope
It might not sound especially exciting, but make a point of taking care of your body today. If you’re feeling creaky and stiff, find ways to move. If you need nourishment, be intentional about eating enough. If you’re worn out, carve out time to rest. Most of all, be gentle with yourself. You may think that you have a responsibility to push forward without ever letting up, or that caring for yourself is a sign of weakness, but really, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself.
Taurus Daily Horoscope
When your friends struggle with old hang-ups, you’re caring and supportive. But when you face similar struggles, you’re not nearly so gentle with yourself. You imagine you should be more resilient, less emotional; you think that you’re silly for not being over it yet. Today, cut yourself some slack. Insecurities can be annoyingly persistent; it takes time to work through them. While growth might be slow, it’s still happening, and the best way to help it along is to treat yourself with compassion.
Gemini Daily Horoscope
There have been plenty of times in the past when you felt like you didn’t quite fit in. Others might be surprised to hear this about you; you’re good at picking up on social cues and at least appearing like you belong. But there’s probably still a part of you that feels like you’re stuck on the outside, looking in. Today, though, if you pay attention, you’ll realize that the people in your life genuinely want you around.
Cancer Daily Horoscope
You aren’t afraid of a challenge, but nor are you someone to work harder than you need to. If you can find a smarter, quicker path to your destination, you’ll take it. But today, searching for a shortcut will probably only stress you out — and it’s unlikely to save you any time in the long run. Focus on doing what you need to do, and doing it well — however long it ends up taking. Some things can’t be rushed, so give yourself permission to move slowly.
Leo Daily Horoscope
You tend to hold yourself back without realizing it. You imagine that you have to fulfill other people’s expectations, regardless of what you want. But you’re much too creative to stay in the same rut forever; you deserve to experiment and take risks. If you’re feeling nervous about venturing off the beaten path, ask a friend to join you, and together you can build up the courage to explore.
Virgo Daily Horoscope
You’re not one to boast about your achievements or complain about how busy you are, even when you’re working harder, or getting bigger results, than anyone else. This means that others often overlook you — not because they’re trying to be disrespectful, but simply because they’re not paying attention. Either way, though, it leaves you feeling taken for granted. Today, if you feel undervalued, say something. Holding onto resentment will drive a wedge in your relationships, but airing your frustration openly will make it possible to find a solution.
Libra Daily Horoscope
You value your relationships deeply, but there’s also a part of you that worries about losing your independence. The more you care about another person, the more willing you become to prioritize their needs over your own — and sometimes you wonder whether that imbalance is holding you back. Today, it might help to tell the people in your life that you’re feeling this way. There’s a good chance they didn’t realize how stuck you feel, and they’ll likely be happy to help figure out how you can both get what you need.
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
You tend to blame yourself for all the problems in your life — maybe even all the problems in the world. If you’d been smarter or braver or less lazy, you imagine you’d be much more successful by now; if you were truly dedicated, you think you could have changed the course of history. Today, try to go a little easier on yourself. Nobody can exert total control over their own lives, let alone the wider world. Influence what you can, but don’t expect the impossible. Let go of the fear that you somehow let yourself down: You did the best you could.
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You try not to take yourself too seriously, but lately it’s been hard not to be self-conscious. You feel like you’re constantly breaking unwritten social rules, like you can’t try anything new without embarrassing yourself. Today, your task is to push through these feelings and try anyway. Everyone messes up once in a while; it’s not something you can avoid, so why worry? Living fully means being embarrassed sometimes, and momentary discomfort is worth it in the end.
Capricorn Daily Horoscope
Sometimes, it’s your closest relationships that are the most difficult. It’s simple enough to maintain a pleasant rapport with casual acquaintances; the people you know best (and who know you best) are the ones who can be most demanding, and who hold the most power to frustrate and disappoint you. Today, put some extra energy into these relationships — whether that means initiating a tough but necessary conversation, or telling the other person how much you care about them. The effort you put in now will be unexpectedly rewarding later on.
Aquarius Daily Horoscope
You’re smart and full of big ideas — but sometimes you get the impression that nobody else understands you. Your thought processes make perfect sense to you, but others seem confused or uninterested in what you have to say. It’s enough to make you hesitate to speak up at all, but keeping quiet today will only make you feel worse. If you express yourself honestly — and are willing to clarify when your friends have good-faith questions — you may feel truly understood.
Pisces Daily Horoscope
No matter what you value, it’s easy to get the impression that your value to the world at large depends on your tangible successes or material wealth. You’re constantly fighting the impression that you matter less than the people who have more than you do, but at a certain point, it becomes hard not to internalize it. Today, try to push back. Remember that you don’t need money or power to deserve a good life. The more stubborn and insistent you are on this point, the more you’ll believe it to be true.
