Welcome back, or if this is your first time here, thank you for joining! I’m Laura, a psychic medium and astrologer, here to help you navigate today’s powerful cosmic energies.
As we move through these intense astrological transits, we’re presented with opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation. The Sun in Libra is bringing a desire for balance and harmony, but with Mars and Pluto stirring up deep emotions, it’s important to stay grounded and focused as we process these shifts.
Each sign will experience these energies differently, but the key theme today is learning to embrace change and use it to your advantage.
Let’s explore how today’s energies will affect each zodiac sign and discover the practical steps you can take to make the most of the day.
Aries ♈️🛡️
The Moon in your sign is giving you a fiery boost of energy, but with Mars squaring both the Sun and Chiron, be mindful of your emotions. You might feel a strong desire to act quickly, but it’s important to be conscious of any lingering wounds. Practice patience and use your energy wisely today.
Tip for the day: Channel your energy into something productive like a workout or creative project to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Taurus ♉️🐂
Your ruler, Venus, is forming a trine with Neptune, giving you a dreamy, creative vibe. It’s the perfect time to indulge in artistic expression or focus on nurturing your relationships. However, with Uranus in your sign, expect some surprises—especially in love.
Tip for the day: Let go of control and embrace spontaneity. Unexpected events could bring joy and growth today.
Gemini ♊️🌬️
With Jupiter in retrograde in your sign, reflection on personal growth is key. You may encounter old ideas or beliefs that no longer serve you. Use today’s energy to clear mental clutter and embrace a fresh perspective. Venus sextile Pluto enhances your ability to connect deeply with others, so don’t be afraid to open up.
Tip for the day: Engage in mindful journaling to explore what beliefs or thought patterns you can release.
Cancer ♋️🌊
Mars in your sign is pushing you toward action, but with squares to both the Sun and Chiron, emotional wounds may resurface. It’s okay to be vulnerable and seek comfort from loved ones. Your nurturing nature will be your strength as you heal.
Tip for the day: Spend some quiet time with loved ones or in a soothing environment to recharge emotionally.
Leo ♌️🔥
The Sun is squaring Pluto, stirring up power dynamics in your life. There may be a situation where you need to assert your boundaries, but remember that true strength lies in patience and staying grounded. Use this energy to transform areas of your life that feel stuck.
Tip for the day: Practice setting boundaries kindly but firmly to maintain control over your personal power.
Virgo ♍️🌾
With the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio, today brings a deep, introspective vibe. Venus trining Neptune invites you to dive into your creative or spiritual side. This is a perfect day for healing conversations and gaining new perspectives on long-standing issues.
Tip for the day: Practice mindfulness or meditation to stay centered, especially if deep emotions arise.
Libra ♎️⚖️
The Sun in your sign, squaring Mars, may make you feel slightly off balance today. You’re usually diplomatic, but you may feel the urge to push back against what’s bothering you. Instead of focusing on conflict, use your natural charm to create harmony in difficult situations.
Tip for the day: Focus on finding solutions, not conflict. Use your diplomacy to diffuse any tension.
Scorpio ♏️🦂
With Venus and Mercury in your sign, and Venus trining Neptune, your intuition and magnetism are at their peak. You have the power to influence and heal through your words. However, with Venus opposing Uranus, be prepared for unexpected shifts in your relationships.
Tip for the day: Embrace your creative and intuitive side, but stay open to surprises in your interactions.
Sagittarius ♐️🏹
With Jupiter in retrograde, you’re being invited to reflect on your long-term goals. You might feel the need to reconsider your path or make adjustments to your vision for the future. Neptune in retrograde may also bring old dreams or inspirations to the surface.
Tip for the day: Visualize your future, allowing space for adjustments as you reflect on your goals.
Capricorn ♑️🏔️
Pluto in your sign is squaring the Sun, creating tension between your desire for control and life’s demand for change. Today is about letting go of what you cannot control and focusing on the transformations you can influence. The Moon in Aries may stir impatience, but your steady approach will lead to success.
Tip for the day: Focus on a long-term goal. Even small steps today will bring you closer to success.
Aquarius ♒️🌬️
Uranus in Taurus is shaking things up for you, especially as it forms sextiles with both Neptune and Pluto. You’re feeling the urge to break free from old structures and innovate. This is a great day to embrace new ideas, but be mindful not to throw away what still works.
Tip for the day: Be open to new ideas, but stay grounded in your values and long-term vision.
Pisces ♓️🌊
Neptune, your ruler, is forming a supportive sextile with Pluto and a trine with Venus. You’re highly attuned to the energies around you today, making it a perfect time for spiritual work or creative projects. However, the retrograde planets may stir up old emotions, so use today’s energy to heal.
Tip for the day: Spend time near water or in meditation to recharge and connect with your inner wisdom.
