General

A flurry of fast-paced developments comes today as we lead up to the active Sun's conjunction with communicative Mercury at 9:50 pm EDT. We are pushed to respond quickly to provocations that seem to pop up out of nowhere, but this does not feel comfortable for us emotionally, as the sensitive Moon is challenged by a square with wounded Chiron. The Moon also makes a gentler connection with surprising Uranus, however, so our problems could be solved in unexpected ways.

WEEKLY LOVE



Aries
(Mar 21 - Apr 19)

The big things in your domestic life are running smoothly as financial gaps seem to be filling in surprising ways. With that basic level of security in place, you have room to wonder where you fit into all of this. Your personality is bigger than a “Home Sweet Home” sign is equipped to encompass. Safe and secure does not have to be subdued, so try to make room for your whole, passionate self in your sanctuary.

Taurus
(Apr 20 - May 20)

You may be easily offended in conversation today, and you need to look within and think through what is bothering you rather than striking back immediately. Others who step on your toes may not mean to cause trouble. You have been changing a lot lately, and the news may not have made its way to your full circle yet. You don’t have to share more than you feel comfortable with, but keep in mind that people only know as much as you tell them.

Gemini
(May 21 - Jun 20)

You are in the mood to interact today, but it will feel unfulfilling if you compromise your deeper values for a shallow connection in the moment. You may tend to hide who you really are around others right now because you fear sharing something potentially controversial would threaten your ability to start and maintain a conversation. However, giving people something that's interesting enough to remember will help you build a lasting relationship with them, so don't hold back everything.

Cancer
(Jun 21 - Jul 22)

You can be overwhelmed by the demands of authority figures today -- you feel that they are pushing you in a direction that is out of sync with the sensitivity you think a situation deserves. In the end, you have to be able to live with yourself, so do what you need to do to transform the situation. Even if you get accused of being overly emotional, there are probably others who agree with you but are afraid to speak up, and they will be relieved that you took action.

Leo
(Jul 23 - Aug 22)

You are inclined to bring some previously hidden parts of yourself out into your professional identity today. However, you may also remember why you held off from doing this before, as you could get pushback from people who represent the ideology that's dominant in your work setting. Defending your views can be exhausting and can interfere with getting actual work done, so pick your battles thoughtfully. Look for a quick win if you can find one.

Virgo
(Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Serious wounds could come up in a discussion with your friends or another group you're involved in. You might hurt others, or they might hurt you. Either way, you can show leadership in finding a new way of thinking about whatever the issue is. Articulating a fresh path forward will ultimately help everyone involved, as difficult topics that go undiscussed have a tendency to accumulate deep ruts that nothing good ever comes out of. Share your idea with everyone, no matter how strange it may seem.

Libra
(Sep 23 - Oct 22)

Your close relationships feel overwhelming today, and it’s not just because there is more conversation and activity than usual. Others may be acting in ways that remind you of a parental relationship you experienced that was critical or demanding. You have an opportunity right now, however, to break out of old ruts in how you unite with people. Focus on building intimacy with people as individual humans rather than trying to fit them into particular roles in your life. Getting this recognition from you should shift their attitude.

Scorpio
(Oct 23 - Nov 21)

It may be hard for you to find meaning today in an unending flow of duties and burdens that feels overwhelming. The hard part is not so much the specific contents of your to-do list, but that you want a greater sense of purpose and direction in your life. You'd be wise to ask others for help to get things done faster. This could also transform some of your relationships, and you may find new meaning in those connections.

Sagittarius
(Nov 22 - Dec 21)

The conflict between expressing your individuality and pursuing union with others weighs heavily on you today. You are emotionally drawn toward relationships, but you have a fear of losing yourself in them, and you may wonder if you are too flawed to deserve this sort of connection anyway. You can reach more balance and stability now by changing your focus and embracing your responsibilities. Though practical work may be a necessity, you can still find freedom in it by adding your own personal flair.

Capricorn
(Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Your home and family life is full of activity, but the demands on you might be so great right now that a close relationship gets neglected. Some one-on-one time together would be restorative for both of you. Though the other person might wonder out loud where you have been, you wonder where you have been, too. Your family needs you, but you can fulfill your responsibilities to them less resentfully when you are grounded in a sense of yourself as an individual.

Aquarius
(Jan 20 - Feb 18)

You might need to have a big conversation today, one that you are not looking forward to. It is tempting to burrow into your to-do list and tell others you can’t talk to them because you have too much on your plate, however, your to-do list will be able to wait a day, and you know it. It will be harder to catch the person you need to talk to in the right space later on, though, so take advantage of the opportunity now.

Pisces
(Feb 19 - Mar 20)

Jealousy about money might be triggered in you today, even if you have enough to meet your basic needs. Someone else could be boastful about having more, tempting you to try to catch up by impractical means like gambling. Before you do anything regrettable, go on a walk around your neighborhood to clear your mind and get perspective on the situation. So many different things are going on with people that you cannot possibly compete with everyone, so just compete to be the best version of yourself.
