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
- The Moon is in Aquarius until 8:35 a.m., then moves into Pisces.
- The Moon is waxing; the next Full Moon is October 26.
- Retrograde: Venus (until November 13), Saturn (until December 10), Uranus (until February 8, 2027), and Neptune (until December 12).
All times are Eastern (ET). Retrograde: seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backward through the sky, for weeks or months.
Aries
Mar 21–Apr 19
Today, quiet sounds better than company.
The Moon moves into Pisces today, in your 12th house of rest and retreat, after a couple of days among your friends. The pull now is to step back. Fewer people and a slower pace will do more for you than one more get-together. If an invitation has started to feel like a duty, you can let it pass this time without a long explanation. A quiet evening is reason enough.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
Friends are easy company today, so make the first move.
Once the Moon slips into Pisces, in your 11th house of friends and shared hopes, your mood lifts. Your attention drifts from what's expected of you toward the people you like being around. Shared plans feel easy and warm today. Instead of waiting to be asked, text a friend with a simple plan for this week, even just coffee or a walk.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Stay flexible, since plans may shift on short notice.
The Moon heads into Pisces today, in your 10th house of public image, and more eyes may turn your way. Later it clashes with Uranus in your sign, so a plan can change suddenly. People tend to notice who stays calm when that happens. If your schedule gets reshuffled on short notice, keep one fixed point in it, like dinner at your usual time.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
Your view opens up, and somewhere far away starts to call.
At 8:35 a.m. ET the Moon enters Pisces, in your 9th house of travel and learning. The view widens, and your thoughts may wander well beyond this week. Something new to learn, or a place you've never been, may catch your interest. Spend a few minutes reading up on a city or a country you'd like to see someday, just for the pleasure of it.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
Honesty about what you share brings people closer.
Today the Moon passes into Pisces, in your 8th house of intimacy and trust, and the mood turns more private. What you share with others, your feelings and your time included, gets a closer look. Plain honesty tends to deepen a bond more than a careful performance would. No grand confession is needed. You may find you'd rather have one real conversation than several polite ones.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Listening goes further today than trying to fix things.
People come before tasks today. The Moon goes into Pisces, in your 7th house of one-on-one relationships, across from your sign, at 8:35 a.m. ET. Seeing people one at a time tends to go well, as long as you resist the urge to solve every problem you hear about. Ask someone how they're doing, and let them finish before you answer.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
Small comforts make an ordinary day sweeter.
The Moon enters Pisces today, in your 6th house of routine and habits, and ordinary tasks run more smoothly. It also links up easily with Venus, your ruler, now moving through Scorpio, in your 2nd house. Little comforts can turn a dull chore into something close to pleasant. Put on music while you clean up, or make a good cup of tea before you tackle the pile of paperwork.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
The day feels lighter and warmer, and pleasure comes easily.
With the Moon moving into Pisces, in your 5th house of play and creativity, the day loosens up. Later the Moon makes a friendly connection with Venus in Scorpio, your sign, and charm comes to you without much effort. Give an hour to something creative, like drawing, cooking, or playing music, with no goal beyond enjoying yourself while you do it.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Today the pull is inward, toward what feels familiar.
Talk and errands lose some of their appeal once the Moon goes into Pisces, in your 4th house of roots and inner life. You may want to be somewhere that feels like yours, away from the noise. Pick a spot, like a favorite café or a park bench, and spend an hour there with nothing planned and nobody waiting on you.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
A gentle tone makes conversations easier today.
Talk gets kinder and easier once the Moon is in Pisces, in your 3rd house, the part of your chart for calls and everyday chats. It's a good moment for an exchange that needs a soft touch, the kind you might otherwise put off. Tone carries further than usual. Call someone you normally only text, and let your voice do some of the work that words on a screen can't.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Your attention turns to what keeps you steady.
The Moon goes into Pisces, in your 2nd house of security and self-worth, as it leaves your sign at 8:35 a.m. ET. The focus shifts from you to whatever keeps you steady. Later it clashes with Uranus, your modern ruler, in Gemini, in your 5th house, and you may get a sudden itch for something new. Chances are it passes as fast as it came.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
You feel more like yourself, and it shows.
From 8:35 a.m. ET the Moon is in Pisces, your sign, after a quieter stretch. You may feel more present, more awake to your own moods, and readier to let people see them. Feelings show easily today, which can be a relief. Pick one ordinary thing, like the route you take or the way you start your morning, and do it your own way instead of the usual one.
