Aries

You're focused on your professional goals and your public persona today, due to the Moon in Capricorn. Take things slow today (I know that's hard for you, but try). Your intuitive abilities will be sharp this evening.

Taurus

The Moon is in driven Earth sign Capricorn today, activating the sector of your chart that rules exploration and learning—and a massive breakthrough will take place this evening. Today is your day to prove to the world that you're not stubborn.

Gemini

The Moon is in Capricorn today, illuminating a complex sector of your chart. Issues concerning sex, death, and taxes are in the air—does this mean drama? Probably, but only if you jump to conclusions.

Cancer

The Moon is in Capricorn today, activating the relationship sector of your chart! The energy will be stressful—but what doesn't crack your crab shell makes you stronger, right? Smoother vibes will flow later this evening.

Leo

Hold off on making important decisions this morning, Leo. That said, the energy will be powerful around breaking a bad habit. Travel or scheduling will be difficult this evening, but some helpful energy will flow later tonight.

Virgo

The Moon is in fellow Earth sign Capricorn today, illuminating the fun and creativity sector of your chart and putting you in a flirtatious mood! The energy will be intensely creative this evening, and although unexpected feelings will pop up, the night should end on a nice note.

Messenger planet Mercury might be retrograde, but your mind's focused today thanks to the Moon in grounded Earth sign Capricorn. Take your time thinking things through—don't rush to make any decisions.

Sagittarius

The Moon is in hardworking Earth sign Capricorn today, activating the financial sector of your chart! Tension is in the air today and into the evening, but the atmosphere will be restorative later tonight.

Capricorn

The Moon is in your sign today, Capricorn! I'd suggest you celebrate, but we all know you're way too grumpy for that (Mercury is retrograde, making your days not so fun). A comforting conversation will take place tonight.

Aquarius

Be gentle with yourself today, Aquarius: The Moon is in Capricorn, and it's activating the sector of your chart ruling rest and relaxation. You're especially sensitive to other people's energy today. Wear a dark, grounding stone, like obsidian.

You're ready for big changes today—just make sure you take the time to think things through, Pisces. The Moon is in grounded Earth sign Capricorn, encouraging you to connect with your friends and communities.
