Each day's horoscope is for your Sun sign, the sign you were born under. Your full chart, with your Moon and Ascendant, goes much further.
Sign dates are approximate, since the Sun changes signs on a slightly different day each year. If you were born on the cusp, your free chart shows which sign is yours.
The sky on this day

Aries
Mar 21–Apr 19
Go easy on promises today, even fun ones.
Tempted to promise more than you can give? Promise half and keep it. Jupiter in Leo clashed with the Moon in Scorpio at 4:45 a.m. ET. Jupiter sits in your 5th house of fun, and you may overdo what you enjoy at the expense of what you've already agreed to. The Moon moves into Sagittarius at 8:59 p.m. ET, and your thoughts may turn to travel or study.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
Set an end time before you say yes to anyone today.
At 4:45 a.m. ET the Moon in Scorpio, your house of one-on-one ties, clashed with Jupiter. Jupiter, the planet of more, sits in your 4th house of home, so another person's wishes and what life at home needs may both ask for more time than you have. Hosting or helping someone today goes better if you agree on an end time up front, even a loose one.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
The day runs on lists, and the evening turns toward the people closest to you.
Your list may grow faster than you can cross things off today. Jupiter in Leo, which tends to add more of everything, was at a hard angle to the Moon before dawn, and the extra lands on errands and messages. The Moon moves into Sagittarius, your 7th house of partnerships, at 8:59 p.m. ET. Finish early if someone is waiting for your time tonight.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
One treat, fully enjoyed, beats three you barely notice.
It's easy to plan more treats than you can enjoy. The Moon spends most of the day in Scorpio, where your pleasures are. Overnight it clashed with Jupiter, which makes everything bigger. Pick the one you want most and give it your full attention. From this evening the Moon is in Sagittarius, your 6th house of routine, and the mood turns practical.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
Keep today's plans to what one day can hold.
A job at home may have grown bigger in your head than it is, so do only the first part today. With Jupiter in your sign, your plans for yourself tend to grow. Before dawn it stood at a hard angle to the Moon in Scorpio, which is your house of home, so your plans may outgrow what home life has room for right now.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Think first and talk later today, and keep the evening for home.
Jupiter is in Leo, in the hidden part of your chart, and early this morning it clashed with the Moon in Scorpio, the sign of conversation for you. So more may go on in your head than comes out. When the Moon slips into Sagittarius, your 4th house of home, at 8:59 p.m. ET, a free evening is best spent in, with the phone in another room.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
What matters to you and what a group wants may not agree today, and talk picks up tonight.
Put a conversation you've been postponing on the calendar. By day the Moon is in Scorpio, among the things you value. Jupiter in Leo, among your groups, was at a hard angle to it at 4:45 a.m. ET, so a group may lean on you harder than you'd like. Then the Moon enters Sagittarius, your 3rd house of conversation, at 8:59 p.m. ET.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
Aim high today, and pace yourself.
Early this morning, at 4:45 a.m. ET, Jupiter in your house of public standing clashed with the Moon in your sign, so you may want to take on more out in the world than one day allows. When the Moon moves into Sagittarius, your 2nd house of security, at 8:59 p.m. ET, tidy one thing before bed: your desk, or just the bed itself.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Big ideas can wait a day while you recharge.
Your mind may run ahead of your energy today. Jupiter, your ruler, sits in Leo among your big ideas, and the Moon in Scorpio, in the quiet part of your chart, met it at a hard angle overnight. The ideas want room while the day asks for calm. If a big plan keeps you up, jot it on a note by the bed and let it wait. A good idea keeps.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
Your time with friends works best with an exit planned.
The day started with the Moon in Scorpio, your house of friends, clashing with Jupiter in Leo at 4:45 a.m. ET. Jupiter tends to inflate requests, so a group's plans may run long. Leave when you've had enough, even if others stay. The Moon goes into Sagittarius, your 12th house of rest, at 8:59 p.m. ET, and pulling back may feel exactly right.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Before you take on anything new today, see what you can hand back.
Requests may come in faster than usual today, from more than one direction. Jupiter in Leo, in your 7th house of partnerships, clashed with the Moon at 4:45 a.m. ET, while the Moon sits in Scorpio, among your public duties. What your public role asks and what one person expects of you may both look bigger than they really are.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Your plans and your daily tasks may pull in two directions today.
Jupiter, your traditional ruler, is in Leo, your 6th house of routine. The Moon in Scorpio, in the part of your chart for study, clashed with it early this morning, and from then on you may want to do everything at once. If a big idea pulls you away from the day's tasks, give it fifteen minutes at lunch, then go back to the list.
