Aries

Today you might find that a long-term dream finally comes true. Perhaps a publication you respect wants to pay you for your writing, photography, or graphic design. Or maybe you realize that a particularly difficult yoga pose or physical you’ve been attempting that seemed impossible a month ago is now actually achievable! Or perhaps you and your partner may finally be on the same page. Whatever it is, take a moment to appreciate where you’re at and what it took to get you there, before setting your sites on the next mountain peak you want to climb.

Taurus

Some strange and rather gloomy dreams could come your way tonight, Taurus. They could, if you let them, catapult you into a rather depressed mood during the day. Writing them down might help exorcise these difficult emotions. You could also be a bit depressed over money. This isn’t a good day to make investments, start a new business, or open up a savings account. Instead, be thankful for what you have and look for ways to use your resources wisely.

Gemini

A lack of communication with an unhappy family member could have you feeling a little downhearted, Gemini. You might wonder if you’ve done something to offend this person. Chances are you haven’t. The best way to handle situations like this is to encourage the person to communicate with you. If there’s no response, wait a day or so and ask again. The gloomy mood will pass, so don’t make yourself crazy over it. The truth will be revealed in time.

Cancer

Professional, creative, or financial advancement could be on your mind today, Cancer. You might try to visualize the next steps and anticipate tasks that take more effort and concentration than you’re used to. Don’t panic. It’s better to not push yourself so hard. Wait a few days until the planets relax a little and just do what you need to do – no more, no less. You’ll be successful in the long run.

Leo

You might decide to spend a large part of the day working on a project that requires a lot of mental energy. Plans to spend some time with either a close friend or lover might not turn out to be quite what you’d hoped, Leo. Your friend could be in a rather gloomy mood. A relaxing evening, perhaps streaming a concert or funny movie, can release tension and melt grumpy moods into relaxed and silly ones. Enjoy!

Virgo

A friend who is in a gloomy state of mind may reach out to you today, Virgo, and likely need some cheering up. Do the best you can: actively listen and lend them your compassion. Once they’ve opened up to you, you two may find that playing a game together online or taking a virtual tour of a museum you’ve always wanted to go to together are great ways to lift your spirits.

Libra

Some rather depressing information could come your way, Libra, but it might not be as bad as it seems. Check the facts before making drastic decisions based on a partial picture. You may have to wait a few days before you have what you need to act in an informed matter. In the meantime try to put this news out of your head, and do something nice for yourself: take an Epsom salt bath, or watch a performance by one of your favorite stand-up comedians.

Scorpio

Gloom over money matters might catch up with you at some point today, Scorpio. A little caution might be in order, especially regarding impulse buying or purchasing luxuries. Today would be a good day to go through your paid subscription services and decide what’s truly necessary and what can go.

Sagittarius

Today you might find yourself feeling a little low, Sagittarius, but it doesn’t seem as if there’s any real reason for it. You may just have had a bad night and need some extra sleep. Some good news from far away could cheer you up in the afternoon. You might receive an invitation to reconnect with a dear friend. Say yes! By interacting with someone you’ve known and loved for a long time, who has known and loved you in return, you will get back in touch with your core essence and find that your spirits are lifted.

Capricorn

Old memories, traumas, and phobias from the past could affect your mood today, Capricorn. You might feel depressed without really knowing why. An event in your life has brought these feelings near the surface without revealing the source. If you’ve had any disturbing dreams or visions lately, write them down. They might offer a clue as to what’s bothering you. Meditation or free association could also bring the insight and release you need.

Aquarius

A friend might be feeling a little depressed today and need some cheering up. First: listen to what’s bothering them without minimizing their feelings or lecturing them on how to fix it. Acknowledge their feelings as valid, and then see if together you can come up with a plan of action for helping them to feel better. Sometimes all a person needs is contact with someone who loves them and a good laugh. If you feel your friend’s problems are too big for you to handle, enlist their other loved ones and the help of a professional if necessary to come up with a plan of action and support. If you’re the one who needs cheering, try to talk to yourself the way you’d talk to a friend who is going through this. Reach out! Yes, it’s hard, but so is being depressed! We’re not meant to go through life alone, suffering in silence.

Pisces

Pivotal career matters may need to be thought through today, Pisces. A lot could be at stake at work or in your home in the coming weeks. Whatever tasks you need to tend to could require a lot of effort and concentration. There’s a danger of sinking into a gloomy mood over it, but try to avoid this trap. You’ll probably accomplish whatever it is you’re hoping to do, so hang on to that thought. Break it down piece by piece if you need to.
