Your daily horoscope is both super simple and decadently dreamy today. The moon is in ethereal Pisces, making a soft sextile to Mercury in sensual Taurus tonight. We’re all feeling more sensitive, both to emotion and sensation. This is a highly intuitive moment, so you might find yourself tuned into the people around you, even if you didn’t plan it that way. But don’t let any psychic visions turn into paranoia by projecting your own fears or desires onto others. Compassion is abundant under these lunar conditions, and paying it forward should have excellent rewards.

March 21–April 19

Taurus

April 20–May 20

alt

The moon is moving through your social zone at the moment as it makes a sweet sextile to Mercury in your sign. IRL conversations, texts, and pillow talk should feel easy and accessible. You may want to use words to create close connections with others, Taurus.

With the sun now officially in your own stars and the moon moving through your tenth house of ambition, you’re primed to take center stage, Gemini.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

alt

The moon has slipped into Pisces, a water sign like your own. This puts you in your element and makes everything in your life feel even more intuitive than it already did, Cancer. Your ninth house of ideas is bursting with sensitive lunar energy, and you’re all up in your feelings about the way the world works.

Leo

July 23–August 22

alt

With the moon currently orbiting your sexuality sector, eroticism is everywhere, Leo. There is a dreamlike quality to all kinds of emotional and physical intimacy at the moment. Even just a simple gesture of affection between you and a lover might feel absolutely magical.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

alt

The moon is in your opposite sign today, Virgo, so you might feel a bit low-energy and off your game. It’s easy to inadvertently give your power away to a lover or partner. You are so generous when it comes to serving others, but this is one of those moments when tending to your own needs first should be your primary goal.

Libra

September 23–October 22

alt

As the moon moves through your sixth house of work and wellness, you might feel a bit emo about your daily schedule, Libra. Rather than stick to a fixed plan, you might be more in the mood to float and go with whatever the vibe is hour-to-hour. Make a list on the early side, and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t stick to it.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

alt

The moon is in Pisces, a water sign like your own, making you feel safe and comfortable today, Scorpio. With lunar energy moving through your fifth house of love and creativity, you might crave loads of romance and pleasure. So, the question of the day is: Why deny yourself what feels good?

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

alt

With the moon moving through your home zone, you may be pretty obsessed with your personal sanctuary. Whether that’s your current digs or your childhood home, you might crave domestic comforts, Sagittarius. Connecting to family or chosen fam, even via text, can feel like getting a warm hug—exactly what you need right now.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

alt

The moon is hanging out in your third house of communication today, and you’re open to having the deepest kinds of conversation, Capricorn. It’s less about efficiency and conveying facts and figures, and more about opening your heart. Use your words to describe what you feel, not necessarily what you think.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

alt

Money is on your mind today, Aquarius. The moon has left your sign and moved into your second house of resources and self-worth, putting an emphasis on spending and earning. You might feel like buying something cute can fix all your problems, but then realize that the sugar high of retail therapy only lasts for so long.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

alt

The moon is in your lovely stars today, Pisces! This is your monthly peak energy phase, and the vibe is super sweet, thanks to a friendly sextile to Mercury in your communication zone. It’s a wonderful time to have meaningful conversations with loved ones. Your compassion runs deeper than deep.
