Yesterday’s dissatisfaction morphs into today’s accomplishments as energetic Mars harmonizes with hardworking Saturn. Simultaneously, we may also experience lagging confusion because an anxious Mars-Neptune connection makes it tricky to know which way to turn. It’s wise to start slowly and build to a crescendo. Thankfully, the adaptable Gemini Moon enables us to work within the real world and the imaginative realm in order to get the best of both.

Aries (March 21st – April 19th)

Your assertive nature lends itself to advancing with speed and force, but the addition of tactical prowess can put you at an even greater advantage. Your key planet Mars partners with calculating Saturn, giving you the gift of strategy when brute force isn’t enough. Although the path is not without obstacles, you’re able to keep your eye on your destination and adjust your course accordingly without losing too much momentum. A concrete goal and faith in yourself are the key ingredients in your formula for success.

Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)

You may not realize how hard you’ve been working until someone points out all your accomplishments. You naturally gravitate towards flying solo on a project today because too much input from others dilutes the facts. Even if people mean well by adding their opinions to the mix, it’s perfectly acceptable to thank them and move on so you aren’t distracted for too long. Just don’t stay in your own bubble from dawn to dusk lest you exhaust yourself before you reach your goals. Lewis Carroll wrote, “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.”

Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)

Picking one direction is the hardest choice of the day; you wish you could be two places at once to dip your toes in more experiences. Fortunately, your friends are likely to have more concrete plans and getting on board with them gives you a positive outlet for your energy. In the same way others help you focus your enthusiasm, you lend their rigid agenda the flexibility it needs to thrive. As Helen Keller wrote, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)

You’re bound by your will to achieve today, and you can already hear the accolades you’ll receive once you prove yourself successful. However, a hidden fear of failure may tickle the back of your mind as the fickle Gemini Moon sneaks through your 12th House of Secrets. Nonetheless, you can endure momentary swerves that uncertainty places in your path thanks to your increasing stamina. Maintaining a list of objectives to serve as a map will keep you on course if your doubt threatens to make you flounder. Paulo Coelho wrote, “You are what you believe yourself to be.”

Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)

You’re content to luxuriate in a sea of knowledge and drink it all in one sitting. Your insatiable craving for learning and experience drives you to throw yourself into an area of study while energetic Mars in your 9th House of Higher Education connects to industrious Saturn. You’re envisioning just how far you can reach if everything goes your way, and every step toward your goal adds to your optimism. The great Michelangelo said at the age of eighty-seven, “I am still learning.”

Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)

You are a pro at getting to the bottom of a mystery, willing to dig after everyone else gives up. Your loved ones may not understand why you won’t let something go today, but you don’t want to let it slide when you think there’s more to the story. Unclear relationship dynamics recently make finding the truth even more important to you now. Nevertheless, steamrolling someone isn’t the way to uncover their true feelings; practicing compassion and kindness is key. Your determination could turn to obsession if you put on blinders. A little less pressure creates space for everyone to breathe.

Libra (September 23rd – October 21st)

You’re not quite sure how to bring up an important topic to someone you know well. Fortunately, you can start anywhere and solidify your position as you go; the most important step is the first one. Working together allows you to sort out issues that you might otherwise ignore. You possess the endurance now to commit to the discussion until both parties state their cases. It’s up to you whether you make yourself a partner or opponent. Cooperative enterprises build a better world.

Scorpio (October 22nd – November 21st)

Teeth gritted and focus fixed, you’re in it for the long haul. You’re quite the utilitarian today, whether it’s wrapping up loose ends or fitting a challenging workout into your schedule. However, mixed ideas about what to attack first may cause you to falter needlessly. The way forward is found through paring down possibilities and pursuing just one objective at a time. There are days when you’re a jack of all trades, but right now you’re the master of one.

Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)

A feeling of purpose impels you to stay off the couch and use your physical energy for the collective good. Action-hero Mars warms up in your 5th House of Fun while being coached by stern Saturn, adding a slightly serious tone to recreational activities. Fortunately, even when you play to win, it’s all in good fun at the end of the day. Keeping competition friendly is more uplifting for all involved. In life there are no winners or losers, just different ways of playing the game.

Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)

You’re happy to finally have a chance to tackle chores around the house, even though lingering brain fog is trying to pull you off course. Thankfully, your fierce drive to get things done easily overcomes the fuzziness, and you may even want to add some extra things to the lineup since you’re on a roll. Paradoxically, the less you have on your list the more you’ll get done; maintaining a single-minded focus rather than juggling multiple things at once is a smoother path to success. Concentration is your friend.

Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)

You’re ready to shake off the blahs from the past few days and do something that feels productive again. What begins as a reflection on how your short-term efforts support your long-term goals could turn into a marathon of planning when organizational Saturn helps brazen Mars manage your 3rd House of Information. Proactively making the most of your available resources while keeping your highest goals in mind is a wonderful way to utilize your enthusiasm today. People with great passion can make the impossible happen.

Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)

Getting out of your own way is always your choice. It may seem like you need to stay in the contemplation phase a bit longer before shedding your insecurities and stepping up to the plate. However, once you commit to believing in yourself, it’s like boarding a cosmic elevator that lifts your confidence steadily higher. The first move is the hardest, but you won’t regret making it in hindsight. Mark Twain wrote, “Courage is not the absence of fear; it is acting in spite of it.”
