Aries
Today’s Leo Moon brings out your bold and passionate side, but its face-off with deep Pluto suggests power issues could stir the pot, especially among friends or in a group setting. You’re ready for the spotlight, but someone might try to dim your light. Don’t let it ruffle you. Use this cosmic nudge to clarify where you stand and what you truly want. If emotions run high, cool off before jumping into action.

Taurus
You might feel pulled between private comforts and public demands, and something may need to give. A clash of wills with a boss or authority figure is possible, especially if you’re feeling unappreciated. Don’t dig your heels in, though. Instead, use your natural calm to find common ground. A touch of diplomacy goes a long way. If a change is brewing, it could lead to a breakthrough.

Gemini
Today’s Moon-Pluto clash suggests your mind is buzzing and so can your phone. Conversations could veer into intense or unexpected territory, possibly revealing more than you bargained for. You’re curious by nature, but today it pays to ask deeper questions and really listen to the answers. A powerful insight or truth could shift your perspective dramatically. If a discussion feels loaded, step back before reacting.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Strong feelings can show up about what’s yours, what’s shared and where the balance lies. Whether it’s emotions, finances or affection, you may be craving more insight or control. Power plays in close relationships could surface, and while your instinct is to protect, try to stay open too. This is a day to respect your worth, set fair boundaries and not shy away from soulful conversations.

Leo
With the Moon in your sign amplifying your natural charisma and Pluto in Aquarius casting intense shadows across your relationship zone, today could feel like a cosmic tug-of-war. You’re radiating warmth, but someone close might challenge this or trigger something deeper. If power struggles crop up, don’t react too quickly. Stay true to yourself but be open to making a few changes too.

Virgo
Emotions you’ve tucked away could rise to the surface, likely when you’re mid-task or juggling responsibilities. If something feels off in your routine or work-life balance, take note. Power struggles with colleagues or an inner push to do things perfectly might be the clue. The key? Step back, breathe and reassess without judgment. Not everything needs fixing, as some things just need feeling.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
The desire to fit in could clash with the urge to stand out. A friendship or group dynamic may feel intense or unexpectedly dramatic, but don’t let it throw you. You’re the zodiac’s peacekeeper, but today’s cosmic vibes invite you to do what’s best for you, even if it upsets one or two people. Creative urges are strong too, so channel those emotions into something fun and freeing.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
With the Moon high in your chart and Pluto deep in your home zone, you may feel torn between public ambition and private intensity. A career opportunity could arise just as family matters demand your attention, creating a clash between visibility and vulnerability. The key? Don’t try to control everything, especially not emotions, whether yours or those of others. If something needs to shift on the home front, this is your cue.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Feel the urge to be completely honest and open? Hold that fire just a moment, as strong feelings without perspective can lead to friction. A conversation could stir deep emotions or unexpected power issues, especially around beliefs or big ideas. Rather than preach, aim to inspire. Travel plans, publishing or legal matters could bring surprises too. If something feels intense, be curious rather than defensive.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 20
Today’s emotional intensity could spotlight a financial tie, shared resource or even an unspoken emotional bond. Something may feel like it’s pulling at your power, but with awareness you can flip the script. Whether it’s about money, trust or self-worth, face it with calm clarity. Secrets may surface but they’ll bring freedom, not fear. Reclaim your allure and let transformation be your power move.

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
With the Moon lighting up your relationship zone and Pluto smouldering in your sign, sparks could fly. This celestial face-off stirs powerful emotions and might bring a simmering tension to the surface. Someone could challenge your perspective or call you out, but this is your cue to lean into growth, not drama. A little discomfort now could pave the way for a deeper, richer kind of bond.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Today can be a tug-of-war between getting things done and diving into your inner world. You may feel called to overhaul your habits or make bold decisions about your wellbeing, but don’t ignore the emotional undertow. If something feels off, it probably is. A hidden stressor may be draining you more than you realise. Combine intuition with practical action, and you’ll feel aligned like never before.
