With Venus and Jupiter at odds today, you may experience miscommunications or mismatched expectations in your close relationships. Maybe you’ll feel that your generosity hasn’t been appreciated — but it’s just as likely that someone else will confront you with their sense that you’ve been taking them for granted. Either way, don’t look at it as an irreparable break, but rather an opportunity for repair.
Aries Daily Horoscope
If unexpected opportunities come your way today, you might convince yourself you don’t really deserve them. You worry that there’s been a mistake somewhere, that the good things were intended for somebody else. Try to remember, though, that your good luck hasn’t come out of nowhere — it’s just that sometimes the seeds you plant take a long time to bear fruit. Don’t close yourself off from opportunities just because you’re afraid you haven’t earned them: Your hard work is finally paying off.
Taurus Daily Horoscope
You’re not afraid of danger, but you’re also not one to take unnecessary risks. If you’re going to stick your neck out, you want to be assured that it’ll be for a good reason and you’ll get results in the end. But it’s just as important to remember the downside of taking too few risks. Play it safe too much of the time, and your life will seem small and dull. Do something that excites, maybe even scares you today. You’ll be glad you put yourself out there.
Gemini Daily Horoscope
If you get bored today, it could be tempting to take action to spice things up. Your mischievous side will start clamoring to make life interesting again. The trouble is that others might not respond well to your provocations — and as much as you think you want to stir things up, you might not like it so much when it actually happens. Do your best to keep the peace, even if you’re feeling restless and irritable. There are plenty of other ways to find the excitement you crave.
Cancer Daily Horoscope
Sometimes your self-confidence feels fragile, like a single word could be enough to knock it over. Today, though, it’ll feel sturdy and robust: Nobody can bring you down right now. Though it might be tempting to question this sudden self-assurance or worry you’re growing arrogant, try to embrace it instead. You’ll have plenty of time for soul-searching and doubt later — confidence ebbs and flows — so make the most of this faith in yourself while you have it.
Leo Daily Horoscope
Today, you could feel like you’re fading into the crowd. You worry that nobody sees what’s special about you — maybe that there is nothing special about you after all. It could make you want to act out, to do something dramatic, even ill-advised, if only to prove that you aren’t invisible. But do your best to act with a bit more intention. If you’re going to make big moves, try to have a greater purpose than simply stirring up excitement for the sake of it.
Virgo Daily Horoscope
Lately, the balance of work and play in your life has been off somehow. Maybe you’ve been consistently laboring too much and resting too little (or vice versa), or maybe you’ve been erratically ping-ponging back and forth, never feeling like you have enough of either one. Either way, it’s made it difficult for you to feel grounded, so today, think about how you might find a better balance. You need leisure and effort — and other people need both sides of you, too — so do the best you can to make space for both.
Libra Daily Horoscope
People are constantly advising you to “live in the moment” — but while sometimes it’s easy enough, there are other times when you always want to be somewhere you aren’t. When you’re out, you wish you were home; when you’re home, you wish you were out having fun. Nothing feels quite right. Today, try not to make your own indecision into everyone else’s problem. Don’t expect your friends to know what you need when even you can’t figure it out. You might have to struggle through some discomfort, but clarity will come eventually.
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
You have a wide range of different kinds of friendships — some intimate, others casual; some based in fun and excitement, others in unbreakable trust. Sometimes, you wish that all of your relationships could be serious and deep, but today, try to remember that you don’t always need to bare your soul; sometimes you simply need a friend who makes you laugh. Don’t try to force relationships (or people) to be different — you’ll be happiest if you can accept each for what they are.
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
Today, it could be important to tell the people in your life how much you value them. You do your best to show it all the time, but even so, sometimes people need to hear it spoken aloud. Don’t assume that people just understand how important they are to you, or that they pick up on all the nonverbal signals you send. Being clear — maybe more obvious than you think is necessary — will go a long way toward strengthening your relationships.
Capricorn Daily Horoscope
It’s hard not to feel like you need to work to “deserve” love — and that if you make a mistake, no matter how small, all the love in your life could vanish. That could be a message you’ve been picking up from the people around you, or it could be something internal. Either way, it makes you hard on yourself. But today, see what happens if you ease up the pressure. It doesn’t mean you should expect everything you want to materialize without effort, but trust that you’re deserving of happiness, just as you are.
Aquarius Daily Horoscope
You’ve been feeling the push and pull, lately, of wanting to be seen but also wanting to be left alone. You want the warmth of community, but without the irritation of everybody getting involved in your business; you want the satisfaction of having your work appreciated by others, but without the pressure that comes from being noticed. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get the love you want without some of the small stresses that come with it; today, all you can do is try to find a balance between connection and independence that works for you.
Pisces Daily Horoscope
Everyone (including you) is probably more sensitive than usual today. As much as they try to hide it by turning everything into a joke, or making big, bombastic statements, or being confrontational, you can trust that there’s more going on under the surface. People might insist that they’re fine, but don’t be fooled. You won’t go wrong by erring on the side of caution, and treating everybody with more kindness than they say they need.
