A positive attitude can help us make the best of today's disruptions. Friendly Venus harmonizes with optimistic Jupiter, bringing us promising opportunities.

The Full Moon Eclipse at 1:34 pm EDT could bring some surprises, especially as Luna goes on to oppose shocking Uranus. We should acknowledge our genuine emotional reactions to any unexpected changes but remember that we won't feel that way forever.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You may want to be seen as more generous than usual. Even so, you can't necessarily control how anyone else will respond to an unexpected gift. With the unstable Lunar Eclipse in your 8th House of Sharing, your recipient might be insulted if you appear to think they're incapable of managing their own affairs -- whether or not that's what you meant! If there's a message that you need to clearly get across to them, you're currently better equipped to use your words.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
A recurrent fight in a close relationship could end in a different way this time. Although the provocation might still get to you, you're generally operating from a position of strength. As fortunate Venus in your money sector supports abundant Jupiter in your 12th House of Secrets, you may be more financially comfortable than you let on. This background knowledge can empower you to resist anything that would make you overly dependent on the other person. Insist on a level playing field.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Your body could make it clear that you need a break immediately. While a physical symptom you experience might alarm you, simply resting may be more helpful than any drastic measures. There's probably a lot going on inside your head that you just need to sit with, and you can't force that process to go faster than it will. If you feel ready to open up to a friend about what's going on, though, that has the potential to cheer you up!
Cancer
June 21-July 22
An organization you belong to could currently be caught up in a bunch of ideas that seem really exciting. As the Lunar Eclipse focuses on your expressive 5th house, however, you might feel like the group is attached to a plan that sounds great in theory but lacks realism. Standing up to everyone openly may be an intimidating prospect, but that's not your only option. Consider working behind the scenes to influence someone who has the power to correct the course.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Your life in the outer world may be humming along pretty well at the moment. Progress toward your goals and pleasure with your peers is probably relatively easy to come by. Problems at home, unfortunately, could drag you down with today's disruptive Lunar Eclipse in your domestic 4th house. Although it might be easy to blame someone else for any family turmoil you're experiencing, your own vulnerable side perhaps needs attention too. Figure out what comfort would look like for you, and pursue that.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
Getting bolder in your routine conversations could reveal opportunities all around. There's no reward without at least a little bit of risk, but as favorable Venus in your 10th House of Recognition supports generous Jupiter in your intimate 8th house, any disclosures you make are likely to land on fertile soil. You know your stuff intellectually, and this is your chance to prove it! Still, joining forces with a competent collaborator can take you further than you're capable of going on your own.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Sharing resources with someone else may currently be key to your stability. If the arrangement limits your freedom too much, though, you're likely to resent the restrictions. Thankfully, while pleasure-seeking Venus in your 9th House of Collective Thinking aligns with lenient Jupiter in your relationship sector, you have a golden opportunity to raise your concerns with your peers. Show them how the changes you want to make can also benefit them, and they'll probably be eager to get on board!
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
Getting emotional may seem inevitable in a recent conflict. The other person could obstinately refuse to make a change you think is necessary. It's plausible that they don't realize how important the grievance you've raised is to you, and they're set on staying the course mostly out of a fear of change. There's room to reshape your arrangement for sharing responsibilities in a way that benefits everyone, but you might need to show them your vision clearly before they can commit to it.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
A diet or exercise program you're currently trying to follow might seem solid in theory. If you're just not getting the results you want, you may need to look within. As the Lunar Eclipse lands in your 12th House of the Subconscious, Luna makes it possible to identify any limiting inhibitions. Are you afraid that achieving your personal goals will draw you away from a relationship you value? As long as you don't hold your success over anyone else, you should be fine.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
Your peers could presently be shocked to discover something unusual that you do for fun in private. However, as devoted Venus in your responsible 6th house supports nurturing Jupiter in your 4th House of Roots, you're probably doing a pretty good job taking care of yourself regardless. To tone down the drama, try to help others see whatever they're riled up about in the larger context of your life -- if you're in a healthy place overall, there shouldn't be cause for concern.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
A family dynamic you take for granted could currently seem unstable. Although you might be used to a particular person always calling the shots, get ready for someone new to challenge their authority. You may feel caught between the two of them and pushed to take a side, but this is potentially a tremendously creative place to be. If you can step into the power vacuum yourself and propose a plausible solution that's fair to everyone, it's likely to be seen as a tempting offer.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Boring small talk could be frustrating for you at the moment. With the probing Lunar Eclipse in your intellectual 9th house, you're likely eager to dig deep into life's biggest mysteries and try to uncover some rational answers. Some people may be reluctant to engage because they've had bad experiences with similar philosophical discussions in the past. While you'll ultimately have to respect their boundaries, your own level of emotional security and empathy can make a big difference in how comfortable they'll feel.
