The Moon, in Capricorn, connects with warrior planet Mars at 4:00 AM, stirring things up up early this morning. Think things over—the Moon clashes with the Sun, in Aries, at 5:57 AM. At 6:52 AM, the Moon enters Aquarius, shifting the energy and encouraging us to take risks. The Moon challenges Mercury, which is currently retrograde in Taurus, at 8:31 AM, so watch out for some confusing energy this morning. Wait till later to send that text. Taurus season begins at 5:26 PM, and the Sun and meets with Mercury (which, again, is retrograde in Taurus) at 1:54 AM. Expect people to be stubborn as hell as a result. All times EST.

Aries

I'm so sorry to see you all the way down at the bottom of this list, Aries, but the wheel has to keep on turning. The Sun enters materially minded Earth sign Taurus today, shifting your focus to issues concerning cash and security, as well as your self-esteem.

Taurus

The Sun enters your sign today. Welcome to Taurus season! It's time for you to reconnect with yourself—who have you become since your last birthday? The Moon enters Aquarius today, lighting up the success and popularity sector of your chart.

Gemini

Taurus season kicks off today, which means the Sun is now lighting up a very sensitive, psychic sector of your chart. Pay closer attention to your dreams, and don't be surprised if you're craving more alone time.

Cancer

The Sun enters chill Earth sign Taurus today and lights up the sector of your chart that rules your friendships and communities. Expect to do more socializing over the next month, little crab.

Leo

Taurus season begins today! This is an exciting time for your career, as the Sun is now illuminating the fame and fortune sector of your chart. But don't push forward on any new projects just yet. Take it slow; Mercury is still retrograde, after all.

Virgo

The Sun enters fellow Earth sign Taurus today! Taurus season is all about you breaking out of your normal routine and taking an adventure. But Mercury is retrograde, so perhaps hold off on actually purchasing your plane tickets just yet.

Libra

The Sun enters sensual Earth sign Taurus today, and your focus will shift. Last month was all about figuring out how to best partner with people; now you'll be thinking about how to connect with them on a deeper, more emotional level. Tricky issues around money will also be a focus.

Scorpio

Taurus season begins today! Taurus is your opposite sign, so expect your focus to shift to your relationships (although, let's be real, little scorpion: You're very into your sex life, so it's not like you haven't already been thinking about this!). People will be inflexible today—watch out.

Sagittarius

The Sun leaves fun Fire sign Aries behind today and enters determined Earth sign Taurus, activating the sector of your chart that rules work, your health and habits, and your daily routine. It's time to get organized!

Capricorn

The Sun enters fellow Earth sign Taurus today! Taurus season is all about you having more fun—expect a new crush to develop, or to get inspired around a creative project.

Aquarius

The Sun enters grounded Earth sign Taurus today, putting you in a domestic mood as the Sun shines down on the home and family sector of your chart. Now is a great time to reflect on boundaries.

Pisces

Welcome to Taurus season, Pisces! This next month is all about connecting with others: Meet new people in your neighborhood, or give a sibling a call if you haven't been in touch recently. Some blocks around communication will pop up today, but you will move past it.
