The more difficult life gets, the easier it can be to grow selfish; you become so focused on your own challenges that you forget about the people around you. Today, though, as the sun and Neptune connect, remember your compassion. Helping other people will make you feel powerful and resilient; if you let your empathy guide you, you’ll end up in a better place than where you started.
Aries Daily Horoscope
Some people seem content to fantasize about the future, but not you. Spending too long in the hazy world of your imagination makes you irritable; you don’t want to think about what you want but to get out there and actually do something about it. Yet when you’re constantly on the go, you never get a chance to reflect on what you really want. Today, try to stop moving so fast. If you slow down and give yourself a chance to daydream, you might be surprised by the valuable insights that arise.
Taurus Daily Horoscope
You know you can be stubborn sometimes, but you’re good at learning from your experiences; when painful or embarrassing things happen, you try to take away a lesson or two. Today, be careful not to let those past experiences make you fearful or overly negative. Maybe somebody treated you poorly, but don’t take that as proof that you should never trust anyone else. Maybe a risk didn’t pan out, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ever put yourself out there again.
Gemini Daily Horoscope
Your curiosity about the world around you is virtually limitless. Instead of sticking to the subjects and people you already know, you want to keep learning. But even you have some gaps in your knowledge; you don’t know what you don’t know. Today, remember that there are possibilities you haven’t even considered yet. You may think that you’ve already explored everything the world holds, but there’s still much more out there.
Cancer Daily Horoscope
Relationships don’t all have to be intimate and life-changing to be important: Sometimes, all you want is somebody to spend time with, or a friend who can make you laugh. But today, random encounters might end up going deeper than you expected. You could discover surprising parallels with new people, or you could find that a casual acquaintance can provide the exact kind of gentle support you’ve been longing for. Don’t be too quick to write off people outside your usual social circle: You might find genuine connection in unexpected places.
Leo Daily Horoscope
You’re probably relatively straightforward about your emotions. If you love somebody, you tell them, and if you’re upset, you want the world to know; you don’t see the point in keeping it bottled up. Today, though, remember that others might not operate the same way you do. There are plenty of people who think you’re wonderful and want you to succeed, but might not make that explicit. You might feel unsupported sometimes, but trust that people are quietly doing their best to help, even if you don’t always see it.
Virgo Daily Horoscope
There are times when you wish the people you love could read your mind. You get tired of having to explain yourself all the time; everything would be so much simpler if you didn’t have to work so hard to express your needs. Today, though, try to see communication not as a burden, but as the fun part. You don’t have to sit around and hope that others eventually understand — you get a say in the matter. If something’s not right, or if you’re unhappy, you have the power to speak up and change it.
Libra Daily Horoscope
So much of the time, doing the right thing is a challenge. It forces you to resist laziness, to risk discomfort, to break with your routines. There are times when all of this is too much to take on, and you settle for half-measures, doing less than you suspect you “should.” Today, though, it won’t be so difficult. You can help others and give wholeheartedly without wondering what’s in it for you. It won’t always be so easy to do what you know is right, so seize the opportunity now.
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
The people around you — from your closest friends to the strangers you encounter out and about — all seem baffling sometimes. They make what seem like irrational choices to you; you can’t figure out what motivates them or why they behave the way they do. But pay attention, today, and you may find some clarity. If you can observe other people without judgment, you may discover that their actions aren’t as illogical as you thought, and you may also unlock some new empathy within yourself.
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You might be feeling exhausted lately. It seems like there are always more tasks on your to-do list, more problems that require your attention, more people making demands of you. You might tell yourself that you simply need to work harder, create better systems, or find a better time management strategy — but today, at least, the answer might be simpler: You just need to rest. Bow out of a social obligation if you can, give yourself time to sit around and enjoy your own company; you might be surprised by how refreshed you feel.
Capricorn Daily Horoscope
As much as you can, you prefer to make your decisions based on hard evidence. You worry that your intuition is too flimsy to wholly rely on, and that your feelings will lead you astray. But today, you might find that the facts are inconclusive, or that there’s simply not enough information available to you. In the end, you may have no choice but to follow your instincts and trust yourself — and, at least right now, your instincts won’t steer you wrong.
Aquarius Daily Horoscope
It’s often difficult for you to be as generous as you’d like. You’re too aware of all the ways people take advantage of one another, and you’re hesitant to put yourself in a position where you’re giving too much, or where you’re sharing your limited resources with someone who doesn’t truly need the help. But while your wariness generally serves you well, there are also times when it’s better to put it aside. Today, try to share what you can and trust that your kindness won’t go to waste.
Pisces Daily Horoscope
You can sometimes be hesitant to share your hopes for the future with the people around you. You worry that they won’t have any faith in you, that they’ll only laugh and say you’re being unrealistic. But today everyone might be a bit more idealistic than usual; even your most stubbornly pragmatic friends could suddenly be open to bold new possibilities. Take this opportunity to open up about your dreams, and invite others to do the same.
