HOROSCOPES TODAY IN HISTORY
Aries (March 21-April 19):
The world is beckoning you to come and see what’s out there. Make an effort to connect with people and ideas that are different from what you normally surround yourself with, because you’ll be surprised by how satisfying the results are. Go on and spread your wings, Aries!
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
An important matter may come to a head at any moment. Don’t let this scare you! You have all the tools you need to handle this situation and move through it with flying colors. Stand your ground, but also be diplomatic; a balanced foundation will allow you to come out.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
As the sign of the Twins, you’re often at your best when forming one half of a dynamic duo. You may be dealing with a romantic or professional relationship, or perhaps a close friend — as long as you’ve got a partner in crime by your side, you practically can’t fail on a day like this.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
You can become a better version of yourself without having to make major changes. Instead, look around your life for small ways you can improve things, such as little habits like eating healthier or getting more sleep, and you’ll likely soon feel better than you have in ages. Your health is your wealth.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
Your happiness is your top priority right now, Leo. Consider this your green light from the universe to put your own desires front and center, and leave more serious things for another day. The only caveat is to avoid overdoing it in your search for satisfaction. A little indulgence is fine.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Home is where the heart is, or at least where your focus will probably remain for the time being. If you’ve been considering moving or making major changes to your living space, this might be the catalyst that finally gets things moving. You may also be celebrating an important event.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Being a chatterbox is a good thing at present. Do your best to go see — politely — what everyone is up to, because there is potential gold under every stepping stone. A sibling or friend could also be especially helpful in discovering your next big opportunity.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Financial matters may come to a head without warning. If you’ve been on the lookout for a new position with better pay, get ready for the perfect option to appear from out of the blue. On the other hand, you may decide to spend your hard-earned cash on a luxurious splurge. You’ve earned it!

Full Moon in your House of Self-expression, shining the cosmic spotlight directly on you. If you realize you’ve gotten out of touch with your own desires, use this time to get back in touch with them.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Something is winding down in your life.
Your House of Endings is the center of today’s Full Moon, which is all about releasing old behaviors. Examine your own state of mind. The less you carry into the future, the more room you will have to invite fresh beginnings.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Sometimes it’s easier to handle life on your own and not get involved with other people, but that almost definitely isn’t the case today. If you’ve been keeping to yourself, at least think about getting out and socializing. Leaving your chores for another time can do you a world of good.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
It’s time to put the rubber to the road and roar toward the finish line. There is a powerful Full Moon, giving you cosmic clearance to pull off a major career coup and show everyone what special tricks you’ve got up your sleeve. This is the perfect atmosphere to unveil any projects you’ve been working on.
