As Uranus prepares to turn direct in Taurus, the ground beneath us is starting to hum. Uranus wakes us up, Taurus makes it real. So, ideas that have been quietly brewing are about to move from theory into form. Today is the anniversary of the first operational weather satellite launched from Cape Canaveral in 1966: a moment when we learned to read the skies differently, gaining foresight instead of guessing. Watch out for insights that help build something smarter, steadier, and future-proof.
ARIES
Our minds tend to easily focus more intently on negative information and shortcomings. Which is why most of us are more aware of our failings than our talents. Even if we're proud of our achievements, we often feel inclined to stick to challenges we know we can rise to. We don't want to bite off more than we can chew, and risk failing. That's why you're reluctant to take on a new task. But you've got the necessary skills. With innovative Uranus poised to change direction, with less effort than you think, you can achieve success.
TAURUS
We know from physics, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. But there are conceptual examples of actions and their consequences too. If we give, we receive. If we make the effort to listen, we build bonds of trust. And for every door that closes, another one opens. As innovative Uranus, prepares to change direction and move forwards in your sign, it's the perfect moment to consider the chain of events that have led you here. It's your kindness towards someone that's starting to pay deserved dividends.
GEMINI
The fact that someone is underestimating your contribution to a situation is frustrating. But since you know what you're doing, you don't need to let their lack of appreciation affect you. And the truth is this could work to your advantage. If you keep focusing on what you're good at, you'll be able to make much greater progress than you would if this person was more aware of what's actually going on. Which means the outcome stands a greater chance of being successful. Down the line, you'll get the validation and credit you deserve.
CANCER
There are lots of reasons why some people think they're 'better' than other folk. Often, a sense of superiority masks deep insecurities. Plus, we all suffer from unconscious biases which lead to judgements and comparisons. And it seems to be a normal human trait to think we possess qualities that set us apart and make us special. It gets problematic when we think we're entitled to be dismissive of those who aren't as fortunate as us. The real winner of a competition today is the person who sees the importance of not competing.
LEO
When we think about good communication, we tend to focus on people's ability to articulate their ideas clearly. Yet a significant proportion of the way we share intel is non-verbal. Our gestures, facial expressions, and body language send out clues which others consciously or unconsciously pick up. But for any kind of communication to be successful, it has to be two-way. There's no point telling someone something if they're not listening! If you listen carefully today, someone will return the favour. Their insight is worth having.
VIRGO
People in powerful positions are such easy targets. They often become the focus of public critique because their role inherently involves making decisions that affect others' lives. In their quest to attract support for their views, they automatically attract the attention of those who passionately disagree. But real change rarely comes from the top down. When enough ordinary folks share an idea, sooner or later, those at the top have to pay attention. You're becoming involved in a plan that's going to be ground-breaking.
LIBRA
You might be feeling satisfied after eating a delicious plate of food, but in a few hours, the memory of those tastes and aromas won't be much help. You'll need to eat again. The same principle applies to sleep. Even if you were lucky enough to get 8 hours last night, you'll need to get more tonight. Some of life's repetitions are essential. When today brings a chance to repeat an experience that made you feel happy, take it. Just because you've experienced it before doesn't mean it's not valuable. Some emotions are worth repeating too.
SCORPIO
Even if you're not a thrill-seeker, you know (and enjoy) the sensation produced by the right-sized jolt of adrenaline. Some people go to great lengths to experience that buzz. They'll bungee jump off skyscrapers and walk more treacherous paths than others would dream of following. You're wise enough to know that no path is truly safe. And that those who believe otherwise risk tumbling into a cavern of naivety. Nonetheless, today, don't be tempted to write something off as 'impossible'. If you attempt it, you'll feel empowered.
SAGITTARIUS
Because you have a rebellious streak, you don't always conform to other people's expectations. This gives you a freedom which some folks don't have. It enables you to assess situations moment by moment, and make decisions without following the crowd. Although you're dealing with a frustrating situation, and it's tempting to respond by reading the riot act, you can see a way to proceed that demands a soft touch. If you persuade those around you to follow your good example, things will turn out surprisingly well.
CAPRICORN
Just because people appear to be in agreement doesn't mean they're on the same page. Sometimes, one party can't summon up the energy to argue. Or they don't care about the issue under discussion. Today, if you find yourself in a dialogue with someone whose support you need, don't assume they're on board with your plans. If you gently push them to explain their views, they might share their reservations. These are worth considering. Thinking this through from all angles will increase your chance of success.
AQUARIUS
Today, like everyone, you're older than you were yesterday but not as old as you'll be tomorrow. And with the passage of time, we change and grow. Birthday seasons are a chance for reflection and forward-thinking. With your ruler, Uranus, preparing to change direction and move forwards in Taurus, your natural desire to explore new horizons and seek innovative change is based on the experience you've gained. You're not about to make a rash decision. Your ideas are well-founded and definitely worth following.
PISCES
We've all got free will. In fact, we've got so much of it, we can decide whether we think we've got it, or not! So, we're perfectly free to choose to feel powerless, and unable to influence what's going on around us. And with so many challenges facing our world, it's easy to come to that conclusion. Yet deep within, you know you can make a difference. You've got the power to bring joy. Someone in your world is struggling to see their way out of a difficult situation. By giving them time today, you'll make a huge impact on their mindset.
