Aries

Fantastic ideas will come to you early this morning, Aries, but getting anything done will be hard today. Mercury retrograde is coming up, but it may as well be in full effect today: Delays are everywhere.

Taurus

The Moon in Gemini is activating the financial sector of your chart today, and you're looking for ways to create more abundance in your life. The Moon enters Cancer later, bringing messages your way.

Gemini

The Moon is in your sign for most of today, Gemini, sending you love and support as you deal with some stress concerning your career or your reputation. It's time for you to take action!

Cancer

The Moon will enter your sign late this evening, Cancer! Until then, take it slow and catch up on some much-needed time alone. Communication is stressful today, so use your excellent intuition to make sense of things.

Leo

The Moon in friendly Air sign Gemini is lighting up the sector of your chart that rules your social life—fun! But hanging out could be stressful today, due to a financial situation. Your real friends won't care if you're broke.

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Gemini, lighting up the sector of your chart that rules travel and learning; however, you're extremely tired and don't really want to do either of those things today.

Scorpio

You're an excellent detective, Scorpio, and today you're digging up all the dirt. Reflect on your relationships today: Are you as close to people as you think you are? Or is more space necessary?

Sagittarius

Today is all about relationships, thanks to the Moon in Gemini activating the partnership sector of your chart! Things will get very intense in your intimate relationships this evening when the Moon enters emotional Water sign Cancer.

Today will bring delays and some miscommunications; try to have a sense of humor about it. No one is trying to make your life harder, Capricorn! Shit happens. Your focus shifts to your relationships tonight when the Moon enters Cancer.

Aquarius

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Gemini all day, sending you lots of fun vibes, romance, and creative inspiration; however, the mood is intense today, and your intimate relationships will demand your full attention.

Pisces

The Moon is in Gemini, lighting up the sector of you chart that rules your home and family, but your responsibilities to other people will pull you away from home for most of the day. The Moon enters fellow Water sign Cancer this evening, sending you good vibes.
