You could struggle between worldly progress and inner healing today. In your daily horoscope, the moon remains in fiery Aries, inspiring us to listen to our instincts as well as we should. But when the sun in Sagittarius trines “wounded healer” chiron at mid-day, all our feelings come up big time. (Chiron is a celestial body representing our wounds and healing journey.) We may not know exactly what to do with all our emotions while we’re busy slaying our task list and showing our best face in Zoom meetings. In other words, we must balance how we feel with what we offer the world. Yes, it’s OK to cry, and sometimes it happens in the office (or on a lunch break), but you can’t beat yourself up when it does. Your emotions need a place to go, or else they’ll come back and bite you later.
Aries
March 21–April 19
You’re a superstar again today on and off the field, Aries, but when you power off from warrior mode and spend some time with your quietest self, you might find that you need to refuel. The “wounded healer” planet is in your sign and it could trick you into thinking strength is the only kind of power you need when softness is just as necessary.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
The parts of your psyche that are already healed, still in the process of healing, and that you haven’t even touched—that’s the material that could come up today. It’s natural to want not to address any of it, but burying it won’t do you any favors, Taurus. Instead, parcel it out a bit at a time—in digestible bites—and process it with a trusted friend or loved one.

Relationships could feel like one big “ouch” today, bringing up your sensitivities when you’re least expecting it. Whatever comes up for you—whether it concerns a current lover, ex, friend, family member, or acquaintance—it’s probably so you can look at it with clear eyes and an open heart. That’s the way you learn not to repeat the pattern, Gemini.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
If you’ve ever employed the old “fake it ‘til you make it” strategy at work, you know what it feels like when your self-esteem doesn’t match your job title. And that kind of energy could be in the mix for you today, Cancer. Not because you’re in any way inexperienced or unqualified to tackle big responsibilities, but just because that little voice inside you is piping up to make you work through any remaining insecurities.
Leo
July 23–August 22
You were born a star, Leo, so you sometimes feel like you always have to be “on” to maintain the momentum of your stage presence. But even the most popular celebs need to step out of the spotlight now and then. Today, old wounds can come up that remind you of times when you forced yourself to perform when you really just wanted to curl up in a fetal position and cry. Being authentic is more important than keeping up appearances.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
Virgo, your need to be in control and on top of details could be tested today. Deep, abiding, and necessary change is happening somewhere in your life, and that’s a good thing for your happiness and future. Yet somehow, you may feel anxious and uncomfortable about how the transformation is taking place. Rather than fight it, try to examine where these fears come from.
Libra
September 23–October 22
Nobody loves and curates beauty quite the way you do, Libra, but here’s a secret: sometimes, you do this as a distraction because you don’t really want to be seen authentically. That issue could arise today, especially if you struggle to express your needs in a relationship. Rather than shutting down and leaning into what looks better, aim for what feels gut-level true.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
Meaningful work that resonates with your soul isn’t always easy to create and maintain, Scorpio, but today you might really feel the need to have some of this in your life. A deeper longing to match your daily duties (like the ones that provide income) with service for the world could come up for you. If moving to a non-profit is not possible right now, consider researching volunteer opportunities and other ways to make a difference.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
Sagittarius, your self-worth and how it intersects with dating, mating, and relating is the subject at hand today. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, on the apps, or licking wounds after a recent breakup, the way potential paramours receive you can bring up deep insecurities—ones you didn’t even know were there. Practicing flirting without worrying about a response can be a fun, healthy way to push through this.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
Sometimes when we think about healing our relationships, Capricorn, we focus on our childhood wounds, and that’s important. But today’s astrology asks you to look even further back––at ancestral patterns that your parents may have learned from their parents and so on. If you want to stop handing down toxic relational patterns, sometimes you have to go back many generations.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
Weird energy can come up with friends today, possibly because you said something that hit too close to home for them. You may not have even meant anything by it, Aquarius, but sometimes you forget that “just the facts, ma’am” can lack the emotional nuance that people need to feel safe and loved. Be a bit more careful about the way you deliver your truth bombs with chosen fam, and pay attention to your own wounds around fitting in.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Are you feeling weirdly emotional about the long arc of your career today, Pisces? Old wounds about what you’re “supposed to do” with your life could come up, probably from some time in your early childhood or from the culture in which you were raised. If that voice in your head feels loud, don’t hush it, but do talk back because it’s not true.
