It’s likely to be a good morning as the optimistic Sagittarius moon and independent Aries sun create a sense of social harmony and inner well-being. Regardless of any stress that’s been weighing you down lately, this is a good time to reconnect with your support system and renew your faith in yourself. Later in the morning, the moon enters serious Capricorn; you may feel a bit less buoyant for the rest of the day, but you’ll have the discipline and purpose to make noticeable progress toward your goals.

Aries Daily Horoscope

When you have an exciting idea, you tend to be quick to act on it. You aren’t the sort of person to waffle for weeks. Sometimes, though, being so decisive means you close yourself off to alternatives. Today, instead of jumping at the first option to present itself, stay open to all the paths you could take. Your life holds more possibility than you may recognize at first glance; for now, at least, don’t close any doors.

Taurus Daily Horoscope

Most of the time, ambiguity only stresses you out. You prefer your goals to be measurable and your relationships clearly defined; the less uncertainty there is, the less you worry about accidentally stepping out of bounds. But if you can leave room for some mystery in your life today, you might discover that it’s energizing. There’s excitement in having a puzzle to unravel. Don’t make a point of introducing unnecessary doubt or confusion, but allow some unknowns to remain.

Gemini Daily Horoscope

Every so often, you start to worry you aren’t as important to your friends as they are to you. On your off days, it’s easy to spiral as you convince yourself the relationships you value most aren’t nearly as strong as you’d imagined. Today, try to remember these feelings are based in insecurity, not reality. If you can get outside your own head and spend actual quality time with the people you care about, you’ll be reassured of your place in their lives.

Cancer Daily Horoscope

Although you understand personal growth typically happens gradually, that doesn’t mean you don’t sometimes get impatient. Maybe you’re eager to transform your own life, or maybe you wish your most immature friends would just grow up already. Today, try to be more generous with the people — yourself included — who are changing more slowly than you’d prefer. If you can trust that everyone’s doing the best they can, the less frustrated you’ll be.

Leo Daily Horoscope

At times, you shy away from new experiences — not because you’re scared, exactly, but because it feels important to perfect a skill or meet a goal before leveling up. But as reasonable as this approach seems, remember growth isn’t linear; there’s no rule saying you have to experience life in a certain order. If anything, today you’ll probably benefit from taking risks and trying new things. Afterward, when you return to the problems you’re currently stumped by, they may not seem so difficult anymore.

Virgo Daily Horoscope

It’s good and necessary to lean on other people, but sometimes, no one is available to offer what you need. When you ask for help only to come up empty, it can be discouraging — but today, you don’t have to let it get you down. If nobody else is able to come through for you, you can still come through for yourself. You’ve got a deep well of inner resources, courage, and determination that nobody can take away from you. Self-reliance isn’t enough in the long term, but it can keep you going for now.

Libra Daily Horoscope

Sometimes, you wish people surprised you more often — you tend to have a strong read on most people, and it’s rare that anyone does anything that truly goes against your expectations. But today, if you keep an open mind, people are likely to defy your assumptions, probably for the better. Conversations could take surprising turns, friends could reveal hidden depths, and people may prove they’re braver, kinder, or simply more interesting than you had given them credit for.

Scorpio Daily Horoscope

All the little tasks that make up your everyday life can feel pointless when there are bigger, more pressing issues going on in the world. You want to put your values into practice and do work that’s actually meaningful, not waste your time on things that won’t make a difference. You may convince yourself the only path forward is to shake up your life entirely — instead, make an effort to find meaning in the here and now. It’s possible to bring your values into the life you’re already living.

Sagittarius Daily Horoscope

Although you’re generally confident navigating your daily life, it can be harder to trust yourself in truly unfamiliar situations. You imagine that you’re missing crucial skills and that your best bet is to turn to someone else with more apt experience. While it’s wise to ask questions when you’re unsure of yourself, remember that other people don’t necessarily know any better than you do. Take their wisdom onboard, but don’t outsource the important decisions that affect your life.

Capricorn Daily Horoscope

In general, you do your best to hide your weaknesses. Even if you trust your friends not to take advantage of them, you still worry that they will think less of you if they see you at your lowest. While that may be true of some people, it doesn’t apply to those who truly care about you. Today especially, sharing your doubts and insecurities with others will only bring you closer and strengthen your bond.

Aquarius Daily Horoscope

You value your integrity deeply, and part of that means being clear with others about what matters to you. You’re not interested in pretending to be anyone other than who you are despite whom it might impress. Today, just remember it’s possible to be true to yourself while being open to change. Your interests and desires probably won’t remain static throughout your life; evolving as a person doesn’t mean you’re betraying yourself, so give yourself permission to grow.

Pisces Daily Horoscope

Your imagination is a gift, but it can run away with you. Sometimes, you dream up fantastical ideas about all the things you’ll achieve in the future, yet you lose sight of important practical considerations; at other times, you spiral over hypothetical scenarios. Today, you have a chance to reconnect with the physical world. That doesn’t mean you need to stifle your creative side, only that you’ll benefit from grounding yourself.
