The moon remains in passionate Scorpio today, but Mercury is the planet making headlines in your daily horoscope. This cosmic chief of communication opposes antagonistic Mars and trines anything-goes Uranus in quick succession—that means our heads could spin trying to keep up with the news. If it feels like too much information too fast, just stop the scroll. It’s one of those days when constantly refreshing your feed won’t do you any favors, but touching grass just might make you feel like a new person.
Aries
March 21–April 19
There is major tension between your house of home and your career zone today, creating some very acute work/life balance issues. With Mars and Mercury in a tug-of-war between these two parts of your chart, you could feel pressure to say something right here and right now, Aries, but it might be wiser to wait a few days to gather your thoughts.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
Mercury and Mars are throwing down major energy, Taurus, which can cause tension to erupt around how you express your opinions and ideas. You might casually throw off what feels like a witty reply to someone’s post or say something that feels innocuous to a colleague but get a very different response than you expected. You may want to tone it down just a bit.

You might feel more pressure around financial issues today as your planetary ruler Mercury argues with Mars in your money zone. This is the kind of situation where stress can come out in sudden and surprising ways, Gemini, so try to stay steady and calm, even when discussing these issues with anyone you share a bank account with.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
With Mars in your stars facing off with Mercury in your relationship zone, you could argue with a lover or partner, past or present. Even a mild debate could become a larger war of words, Cancer, so try to avoid saying something sarcastic or snippy just to get a zinger in there. Even better, wait to have any important discussions for a few days.
Leo
July 23–August 22
Mars and Mercury are poised for confrontation, inflaming an inner battle between what you want and what you need to accomplish. With your subconscious sector aflame and your work and wellness zone activated, your psyche is working overtime to process your deepest emotions and fears, Leo. Be extra gentle with yourself today.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
It’s a jam-packed day in your stars, Virgo, and so much is going on all at once that it could be pretty overwhelming. Your ruler Mercury is in your creativity zone opposite Mars in your social zone, and it might feel like you’re interacting with too many people with too many ideas from too many sources. If it’s all too much, take a brief social media fast and as much downtime as you need.
Libra
September 23–October 22
Feeling overwhelmed? With Mercury in your home zone opposite Mars in your status sector, you’re being pulled in two very different directions simultaneously, Libra. On the one hand, you might feel a strong pull toward the domestic, but on the other, your career could call you loudly. You don’t have to choose one or the other, especially not today.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
You can fight fire with fire today, Scorpio, but the question is, should you? The moon is still in your sign and your ruler Mars is in a war with Mercury, giving you access to verbal stingers you didn’t even know you could come up with. But the thing is, as much as you might want to deploy them, they could come back to you, so choose your words carefully.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
Financial issues could be triggering today, Sagittarius. With Mercury and Mars in opposition between your two money zones (the house of debt and the house of income), you might feel like you’re in an all-or-nothing sitch that can’t be resolved. You may be overthinking it, but give yourself a few days before any big expenditures.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
With Mercury in your sign you’re able to assert your opinions more easily, Capricorn, but today the planet of communication opposes Mars in your relationship zone, and that can create fodder for fights with your partner—perhaps with an ex. Even if you’re right (and probably are), try to hold back from starting something you can’t contain. Try again in a few days.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
A clash between Mercury in your dream zone and Mars in your daily activities sector puts pressure on you to do more with less energy, Aquarius. Rather than expending it, try conserving it, especially when it comes to mundane arguments that you can’t win with co-workers.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Today’s Mercury-Mars opposition is like nails scratching a chalkboard for your sensitive soul, Pisces. Conversations with friends could feel tense and weird, so don’t push any points you can’t back up with facts. Even better, don’t push anything for a few days—come back to difficult topics after this prickly energy fades out.
