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
Someone close responds well to a softer approach.
Early this morning Venus is back in Libra, in your 7th house of partnership and fairness, and the mood around one person in particular softens. A kinder tone and a little give go a long way now. Offer to meet someone halfway on something small, like who picks the movie or where to eat. Then at 7:34 p.m. ET the Moon moves into Taurus, in your 2nd house, and the evening turns quieter and more practical.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
An easy routine and a few comforts bring you back to yourself.
Your ruler, Venus, moves into Libra, in your 6th house of daily habits, and you put more care into everyday things. Small comforts do you good. Give an hour to unhurried upkeep, like sewing on a loose button or sorting a drawer. By 7:34 p.m. ET the Moon is in Taurus, your sign, and the evening feels more like your own.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Something you once enjoyed may appeal again.
Venus heads into Libra, in your 5th house, and fun moves back toward the front of the line. With chores taking a back seat, you may feel like enjoying yourself for no particular reason. A pastime you liked years ago could tempt you again. Spend a few hours today on something you do just for the joy of it, and leave the to-do list for Monday.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
Make your own space a little more pleasant this Sunday.
Venus is back in Libra, in your 4th house of home and privacy, and comfort in your own space starts to matter more. It doesn't take much to make your place feel easier to be in. Rearrange one small thing so it feels more like yours, maybe a lamp, a plant, or the photos on a shelf. Then sit there for a while and enjoy it.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
A friendly hello goes further than usual today.
As Venus passes into Libra, in your 3rd house of conversation and getting around, kind words come more easily. A light chat with a neighbor or a short outing close by suits the mood better than a long day out. Take a walk around your neighborhood this afternoon and say hello to anyone you recognize, from the person at the corner store to someone walking a dog.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
Enjoy what you already have before reaching for more.
Venus goes into Libra today, in your 2nd house of possessions and values, and your attention settles on things already within reach. The pleasure is in using and appreciating them rather than getting more. What you care about gets some attention too. Spend a little time with something you own and love, like a good book or your favorite mug, without adding anything new to the pile.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
Charm and ease come back to you today.
At 4:57 a.m. ET your ruler, Venus, is back in Libra, your sign. Being at ease with people comes more naturally, and you may feel more at home in your own skin. Later the Moon, still in Aries, in your 7th house, stands across from Venus. Someone else's needs may pull against your own for a while, and you don't have to settle it all at once.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
Let your feelings go quiet for a day.
Venus, leaving your sign, moves into Libra, in your 12th house of quiet and retreat, at 4:57 a.m. ET. Feelings may slip from the surface to somewhere quieter today. It's a good day to lie low. Give yourself an hour this afternoon with nothing to show for it at the end, no chores and no plan, just time that's yours alone.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Good company draws you out again.
With Venus moving into Libra, in your 11th house of friendship and community, you're in the mood for company again. The Moon in Aries, in your 5th house, also gets along with your ruler, Jupiter, which adds a generous, easy feel to having fun. Ask a friend to join you for something you both enjoy, like a long brunch or a board game.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
Go gently with your ambitions this Sunday.
Venus is now in Libra, in your 10th house of reputation and long-term goals. A softer approach helps with your ambitions and with how others see you. Diplomacy opens doors that pushing won't. On a Sunday that can simply mean thinking about how you come across, and where a little more warmth would help. Nothing has to be decided before Monday.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Unfamiliar ideas start to appeal to you again.
Your curiosity about other ways of living and thinking comes back as Venus enters Libra, in your 9th house of ideas and faraway places. It's a good day for reading, or for a slow outing somewhere a little unfamiliar. Pick up something written from a point of view unlike your own, an essay, a novel, or an interview, and let it stretch you without arguing back.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Fairness in a close bond comes into view.
Venus is moving into Libra today, in your 8th house of closeness and give-and-take, and what you share with others needs a little care. You may notice where things feel balanced in a relationship and where they don't. Small gestures carry weight. If someone has done you a favor lately, thank them properly, in person or with a real note rather than a quick emoji.
