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
A small loose end with someone is easy to tie up today.
Just after midnight ET the Moon was full in Taurus, in your 2nd house of possessions, right across from the Sun in Scorpio, in your 8th house of what you share. What's yours and what's gone back and forth between you and other people are easy to tell apart right now. Return something you borrowed, or ask someone to give back something you lent. A book or a jacket is plenty.
Taurus
Apr 20–May 20
Plain words work better than hints today.
At 12:12 a.m. ET the Moon was full in Taurus, your sign, with the Sun opposite, in Scorpio, in your 7th house of partnerships. Your wishes and someone else's end up face to face, and neither is hidden. That's easier to work with than a guessing game. Say one thing you need in a single plain sentence, then stop and let the other person answer.
Gemini
May 21–Jun 20
Your energy may run lower than your to-do list would like.
The Sun in Scorpio is in your 6th house of daily tasks, and the Moon, full overnight in Taurus, sits across from it in your 12th house of rest. Chores pull one way today, and the need to stop pulls the other. Tiredness you've been brushing aside may catch up with you now. Find one task that can wait, take it off today's list, and rest instead. Even a long, quiet lunch counts.
Cancer
Jun 21–Jul 22
A plan with friends and something you enjoy alone may land on the same night.
The Moon, your ruler, was full in Taurus, in your 11th house of groups and shared hopes, at 12:12 a.m. ET. The Sun sits across from it in Scorpio, in your 5th house of creative play. Picking the group plan or the solo one says something about what you need right now, and the one you skip can usually wait for another week.
Leo
Jul 23–Aug 22
A calm pace serves you well when others press.
Last night's full Moon in Taurus, in your 10th house of public life, faced your ruler, the Sun, in Scorpio, in your 4th house of private life. At 8:11 a.m. ET the Sun also presses against Pluto in Aquarius, in your 7th house of close relationships, so one person may push hard for what they want. If someone needs an answer on the spot, ask for a day to think it over.
Virgo
Aug 23–Sep 22
A casual chat may lead somewhere bigger than you planned.
Overnight the Moon was full in Taurus, in your 9th house of big ideas, across from the Sun in Scorpio, in your 3rd house of everyday talk. Pay attention to what you say when nobody expects you to be profound. An offhand line about the news or a book can show where you really stand. Later, finish one of those long articles you saved and never got back to.
Libra
Sep 23–Oct 22
You may find you need less than you thought.
Some of what you've been holding on to is ready to go. The Moon was full last night in Taurus, in your 8th house of shared things, opposite the Sun in Scorpio, in your 2nd house of possessions. Letting go of one item you no longer need can bring real relief. Clear out one folder of old photos or files you've been keeping for no particular reason.
Scorpio
Oct 23–Nov 21
Seen through someone else's eyes, you may look different today.
The Moon turned full in Taurus, in your 7th house of the people closest to you, at 12:12 a.m. ET, facing the Sun in your sign. Modern astrology pairs your sign with Pluto, and today the Sun is at odds with Pluto in Aquarius, in your 4th house, where private matters live. Something you'd rather keep behind closed doors may insist on being dealt with.
Sagittarius
Nov 22–Dec 21
Small progress is plenty on a Monday like this.
The Moon was full overnight in Taurus, in your 6th house of chores and habits, opposite the Sun in Scorpio, in your 12th house of retreat. Part of you wants to clear the decks, and part of you wants to vanish under a blanket. Pick the smallest open task, see it through, and let that be enough for one Monday. The rest of the list can wait until Tuesday.
Capricorn
Dec 22–Jan 19
Your own pastimes deserve room next to everyone else's plans.
With the Moon full in Taurus, in your 5th house of creative pleasure, and the Sun opposite in Scorpio, in your 11th house of group plans, a hobby nobody else cares about may suddenly feel worth defending. What you make purely for yourself holds its value. Give an hour to something you do only because you like it, whether or not anyone else sees the point.
Aquarius
Jan 20–Feb 18
Your inner life and your outside duties pull apart today.
Facing the Sun in Scorpio, in your 10th house of reputation, the Moon turned full in Taurus, in your 4th house of roots, late last night. This morning, at 8:11 a.m. ET, the Sun leans on Pluto in Aquarius, your sign, in your 1st house of first impressions, so the strain may show in your face or your voice. Switch your phone off for one hour and let everyone wait.
Pisces
Feb 19–Mar 20
Your big questions get clearer when you say them out loud.
Last night the Moon turned full in Taurus, in your 3rd house of daily conversation. The Sun sits opposite, in Scorpio, in your 9th house of beliefs, and the two bring your thoughts on big questions down into plain talk. If a question keeps coming back to you, put it to someone who knows the subject well. A text or a phone call is enough.
