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.

Aries
Mar 21–Apr 19
You and the people close to you get along easily today.
At 4:21 a.m. ET the Sun in Libra, the sign opposite yours, made an easy angle with Jupiter in Leo, the sign of fun for you. Mars, your ruler, is building toward a steady link with Saturn in Aries that peaks tomorrow, so there's staying power behind whatever you start with someone. Add something fun to a shared plan that's started to feel like a chore, like a walk once the work is done.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
A stalled question about where you're headed may start to move tonight.
Pluto, retrograde since May 6, turns direct at 10:23 p.m. ET in Aquarius, your house of public commitments, and starts moving forward again. For you, that touches work and whatever role you play in public. Meanwhile the Moon stays in Sagittarius all day, among your close bonds. Tell someone you trust what you know now that you didn't before, and leave the decisions for later.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Fun and good conversation feed each other today.
Send something you made, or something that made you laugh, to a person who'd get a kick out of it. The Sun in Libra, the sign of play for you, reached an easy angle with Jupiter in your 3rd house of ideas at 4:21 a.m. ET. The Moon joins in at 4:57 p.m. ET, lining up with Jupiter from Sagittarius, your house of partnerships, and talk tends to flow into the evening.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
Tonight, put down what isn't yours to carry.
Pluto turns direct late tonight, at 10:23 p.m. ET, picking up forward motion again in your 8th house, the part of your chart about what you share and what you let go. If letting go of something has felt like going in circles, it may get easier from here. The Moon, meanwhile, spends the day in Sagittarius, among your daily tasks.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
Confidence and the right words come together today, so speak up for yourself.
If you have a proposal to make, make it today, in your own words. At 4:21 a.m. ET your ruler, the Sun, linked up smoothly with Jupiter, which is in Leo with you. The Sun is in Libra, among your conversations, so a plan can sound as good as it really is when you explain it the way you would to a friend.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Home is the easiest place to be today.
At 4:57 p.m. ET Jupiter, the planet of plenty, in the sign of solitude for you, lines up with the Moon in Sagittarius, which governs home for you. Tonight is for comfort and rest. Jupiter's generous mood favors doing less, so give yourself an evening with no task at all and keep dinner slow and simple. Most chores will keep until tomorrow.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
Let yourself be seen today, and reach out.
If a plan is too big for you alone, invite one person in. The Sun is in Libra, your sign, and before dawn it found an easy angle to Jupiter, among your groups. Then, at 5:55 p.m. ET, the Moon links up with the Sun from Sagittarius, the sign of conversation for you, and evening talks tend to go well.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
Something at home that has felt stuck may loosen tonight.
Your modern ruler, Pluto, turns direct in Aquarius, where your home life sits, at 10:23 p.m. ET, and from there it moves forward. Changes you'd like at home, or in how things run there, can start to move again, a little at a time. With the Moon in Sagittarius, your attention also goes to what makes you feel secure. Pluto works slowly, and so can you. Nothing needs deciding tonight.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Your sense of direction runs strong today, so look further ahead than usual.
You're likely to feel hopeful. At 4:57 p.m. ET Jupiter, your ruler, lines up with the Moon in your sign from Leo, your house of the long view. The Sun in Libra, among your friends, gave Jupiter a boost earlier, at 4:21 a.m. ET. Pick a route, a book, or a conversation you wouldn't usually choose, and share the view with a friend.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
Let what you care about decide one small thing today.
Drop one habit this week that no longer fits what you care about. Pluto, retrograde in Aquarius since May 6, turns direct tonight at 10:23 p.m. ET in your 2nd house of priorities and ends its backward stretch. This turn is about values: what you spend your time on, and why. The change can be as modest as an hour a week given back to something that matters.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
A small, personal change is worth starting tonight.
If you see yourself differently than you did a few months ago, act on it tonight, even in a small way. Pluto has been retrograde in Aquarius, your sign, and the shift it brings is about you more than anyone around you. The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius, among your friends. At 10:23 p.m. ET Pluto turns direct at 3°04′ Aquarius and heads forward again.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Accept help today, or offer it.
Your traditional ruler, Jupiter, sits in Leo, among your daily routines. At 4:21 a.m. ET it formed a helpful link with the Sun in Libra, the part of your chart for shared money and trust, so what you share with others can make your days run more smoothly. Use any help on offer for one specific task, not a vague list.
