Your daily horoscope puts you behind the scenes and directly in the spotlight. The nurturing moon in Cancer makes a welcoming gesture to wild child Uranus early this morning, getting us out of bed in an inspiring, surprising way. Luna then gently prods Neptune in Pisces around lunchtime, keeping the vibe dreamy and fantastical. After that, the moon is between two signs for most of the afternoon, keeping us floating between our inner need for emotional intimacy and our external need for validation and praise. Once the moon moves firmly into fun, flirty, and big-hearted Leo we can start to strut our stuff. Yet, the moon will oppose Pluto in Aquarius a few hours before we go to bed, so jealousy could arise out of nowhere.

Aries

With the moon hovering between your home zone and your pleasure sector most of the day, you’re part introvert and part main character, Aries. But by the time the lunar energy is fully fired up and ready to go this evening, you may be suddenly saddled with a confidence issue relating to a friend or a lover (or both).

Taurus

April 20–May 20

You might feel like you’re doing A/B testing between your inner monologue and communication with others today. While the moon is void-of-course between your talking and thinking zone and your fourth house of family affairs, you’re figuring out what is truly you and what belongs to your ancestral roots. Answers may not be clear, but they should at least be interesting, Taurus.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

The moon leaves your money zone and floats between that house and your communication sector, leaving you a bit dreamy and confused midday, as if you’re forming thoughts but can’t quite put them into words. But by evening, that should not remotely be a problem for you, Gemini! You might be over-eager to make a point when the moon opposes Pluto, so take a breath before lobbing any verbal daggers.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

The moon lingers in your stars this morning, Cancer so that you can derive some drive from the last bit of your peak energy phase—the next one is a month away! You might be a bit crabby until your ruling luminary enters your money zone this evening. Cue you scrolling from bed and putting multiple items in the cart, then waking up tomorrow and wondering what happened. In short, keep your budget in mind for the next few days.

Leo

July 23–August 22

It’s almost your time in the spotlight, Leo, so prepare to sashay. Before the moon enters your own dramatic stars this evening, it will hover in your dream zone in the morning, keeping you contemplative and focused on your inner world. Thanks to Pluto, your relationship zone could be drawn into some drama this evening.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

The astro-energy swiftly switches out of your social zone early this morning and lands in your dream zone this evening, taking you from public to private throughout the afternoon. You are not obligated to respond to every text today, Virgo. Tune out of getting sucked into a mindless scroll and turn in early.

Libra

September 23–October 22

With lunar energy hovering in your success sector this morning, you might wake up feeling rather ambitious, Libra. But if you get distracted after lunch and can’t figure out how to un-stuck yourself, don’t stress—just ride it out. By evening, the moon shifts into your social zone, helping you to dole out rizz like candy, as you were born to do.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

You’re in your element in the morning with the moon in your sister water sign. But as the afternoon unfurls, you may feel like you’ve lost the plot a bit. There is a rose-colored glasses vibe happening around lunchtime that you probably won’t have much patience with, Scorpio, so don’t feel like you have to wait for your friends or colleagues to figure out the real from the fake. You already know, so do your own thing.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

You’re still recovering from one of the craziest weekends you’ve had in a long time, and you probably deserve some more time off before you jump back into the fray. With the moon in your transformation zone in the morning, you’re being pushed through a crucible of change, and you may be over it at this point. Zone out after the moon leaves this part of your chart around midday, Sagittarius, and prep for an adventure as lunar energy moves into your travel zone tonight.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

The moon continues to oppose your sign this morning, and you may be a bit off, Capricorn, but give yourself some slack. We’re deep in the holiday season and there’s no reason to force yourself into productivity mode if you’re not feeling it. With the moon moving into your sexuality sector this evening, you may want to get busy in an entirely different way.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

There’s ample activity in your work and wellness zone when you wake up this morning, Aquarius, so try to hit your must-do deadlines and items on your list that can’t wait. You might want to sneak in a workout, too. By evening, the moon moves into your relationship sector and promptly gets into a blowout with powerful Pluto in your sign. In short, partnership could feel a bit fraught, but it’ll pass by the time you wake up tomorrow.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

The watery moon in Cancer gently beckons your planetary ruler Neptune before moving out of your romance zone early this afternoon. If you feel like you’re in fantasy land and can’t find your way back to reality, don’t force it, Pisces. Some days were meant for aimless mental meandering. By this evening, you’ll be ready to tackle regular tasks once again.
