The Moon meets Mercury in Virgo at 8:48 am: You'll feel so sharp this morning, you might be able to skip coffee. If you find yourself waking up early this morning next to someone with whom you would like to have a productive conversation, this is your morning. Reading this horoscope too late? That should seriously be the first thing you do each morning, but that's fine: The Moon is in Virgo all day, a productive and helpful energy. If you're willing to help others, they'll likely reciprocate.

Aries

As the baby of the zodiac, responsibility isn't a concept you regularly consider, but I think today you will find deep joy in getting shit done. You could accomplish a lot today, which will be great for your (already quite healthy) ego.

Taurus

Yay, Taurus--after so much drama and tension in sensitive areas of your life, we finally have a cute day for you to try new things, enjoy some romance, and generally just feel like things are flowing smoothly.

Gemini

Your FOMO usually forces you to socialize, but today you will be happily enjoying your home base, your family, or wherever you like to call your safe space. Getting to the bottom of a situation could also be on your agenda today.

Cancer

You'll be heard loud and clear today, Cancer, so speak your mind. You've been thinking a lot lately about what you value and whether or not your relationships (romantic or otherwise) are able take you there. Can they?

Leo

Madonna and Angela Bassett both have birthdays today. They probably would hate that they have to share the spotlight in this little horoscope, but, Leo, sometimes the focus won't be entirely on you. Material matters are on your mind today; helping and working with others will help you, too.

Virgo

The Moon is in your sign, Virgo! You're feeling confident and powerful. I feel really sorry for anyone who tries to intimidate you today: You're the boss this weekend. Romance is looking good--accept all invitations to party.

Libra

It's a totally fine day, Libra, but you have high standards, and I don't think this lovely Sunday will meet them. Changes are occurring, but they're happening slowly--perhaps too slow for your liking. If you can't find anything to do today, clear out the clutter to make space for new things.

Scorpio

You might hear from a powerful or popular person today, Scorpio. The way you present yourself to the public is changing--could this new connection propel you forward? Stay social this Sunday; you never know who you'll meet.

Sagittarius

You might be a big mouthed glutton, Sagittarius, but when you work, you work hard…and you know you better fucking get paid for it. It's Sunday, so you can't exactly ask for a raise today, but your mind is hard at work figuring out how you can get more. You deserve it.

Capricorn

The Moon is in Virgo (an Earth sign, just like you!). Virgo is a playful and smart sign, and it's encouraging you today to try something new. Whatever unusual requests you've received today, go for it. Your strength is being cosmically tested, and you're ability to be flexible will prove your worth.

Aquarius

The Moon is in Virgo, the sign of the analyst. Today, Aquarius, you know exactly who owes you what. You've been time traveling lately, running into old partners, both romantic and other wise: Why not get that old sweater back?

Pisces

The Moon is in your opposite sign, Virgo, today! You usually just want more, more, more--but Virgo wants to de-clutter, simplify and minimize. Surely you could find a place in the middle? Doing so, especially when it comes to communication, will get you far today.
