Today, we’re hypnotized by a romantic haze as the luminary Moon opposes illusory Neptune. When this happens, we tend to idealize our romantic partners and project unrealistic expectations onto them, which inevitably leads to disappointment when they don’t meet these expectations which were already unattainable in the first place. However, as long as we practice mindfulness and self-awareness, we will be able to see through the smoke and mirrors and improve our lives in the end.
To learn more about how your sign can navigate today’s celestial motions, read more below.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, you have a confidence that’s so strong it’s almost intoxicating; but when the Moon opposes Neptune today, you might feel a disconnect from this strong sense of identity. You have so much love for your partner and loved ones, but you can’t help but feel like none of this is real—as if you’re living in a dream and you might wake up any time. You’re not sure what to believe anymore, but you don’t want your loved ones to slip away from you. You can live in the illusion for a while, but when it ends, it’s time for you to wake up. You deserve happiness, Aries, and no one can take it away from you except for yourself.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, when the Moon gets in a conflict with Neptune today, you feel a deep, emotional need to get closer with loved ones, but your trust issues get in the way. You’ve been hurt by people you loved in the past, and now you wonder if they’d ever do the same. What if they hurt you, too? What if they leave you when you need them most? Don’t let Neptune fool you into thinking your fears are actual truths, Taurus. Perhaps sitting down with a trusted advisor, such as a therapist, can help you work through these trust issues. Learning to trust the people, especially your loved ones, can help you get the intimacy you yearn for.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, when the mystical Moon opposes delusive Neptune, you wonder if your need for close relationships are getting in the way of your work. Perhaps you’re having second thoughts about being real-life friends with your co-workers, worried that this will affect your professional relationship. If you’re committed, you’re worried that being too attached to your partner will make you lose sight of your career goals. Don’t let yourself get devoured by fear that you end up manifesting them into reality, Gemini. You’re still in control of your decisions. In the end, establishing a healthy work-life balance can help you have a healthy personal life while still being able to achieve your career goals.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer, you desire adventure today, but when the Moon brawls against Neptune, this conflicts with your need for secure and stable relationships. You want to be romantically adventurous—to see what options you have, to try dating different people so you figure out what you want and don’t want, but this scares you. You seek a person who can make you feel a sense of stability, not to date around and end up having your soul sucked by modern dating. Know that it’s okay to experiment, Cancer. You’ll never find the right person if you never find the courage to at least try.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leo, you’re a romantic. But when the Moon crosses swords with Neptune today, you might end up getting so caught up in your romantic fantasies that you end up unable to see reality. You have a strong desire for romance, which might break your heart when this desire isn’t fulfilled. If you want to find true love, you have to let go of your unrealistic expectations, Leo. Love truly is exciting, but as time passes by, it can also be mundane—and that’s perfectly fine. It’s mundane because it’s constant, and that’s part of the beauty of it.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo, you’ve never asked for anything more than a partner who provides a sense of emotional security and stability, but when the Moon gets lost in Neptune’s fog, this desire might turn into desperation, making you attract partners who are not what they seem. You might end up jumping into a relationship with the first person who makes you feel something, without considering if they’re actually good for you. Don’t let your loneliness draw you toward toxic people, Virgo. The right person is out there—just you wait.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, when the silver light of the Moon is dulled by Neptune’s fog, you worry that you’re stuck in a rut. It’s always the same old routine: wake up, shower, get dressed, go to work. You desire novel experiences, but you’re not sure if your current circumstances will allow you to explore. You want to tell your loved ones—including your partner, if you’re committed—how you feel, but you fear that they will not understand. Remember that routines are often good for your health, Libra. Don’t mistake consistency for mundanity.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)
Scorpio, when the Moon gets into a fight with delusive Neptune, your desire to romanticize life might turn into outright materialism. You feel quite attached to your material possessions, but you have to realize that there’s life outside of them as well that’s worth romanticizing. If you’re in a relationship, romanticizing the normal days with your partner might make you fall in love with them all over again. The essence of viewing life through rose-colored lenses is to fall in love with being alive again, Scorpio, and your material possessions could just be temporary fixes to the void you seek to fill.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarius, when the enigmatic Moon clashes with illusory Neptune, you may find it difficult to see things clearly, especially in regards to your family. Perhaps your home life is finally starting to get better, which might make you forget your bad history. However, forgetting history also means dooming yourself to repeat it. Try to get in touch with your emotions to see how you truly feel about your current living situation. Let yourself forgive, but don’t let yourself forget. If you want to heal, confront your past, troubled self in the face, give them a hug, tell them you’re sorry for what they had to go through, and then let go of them.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn, you find yourself unable to say what you mean when the Moon battles with Neptune today. Emotions are never your strong suit, and being unable to express them might make you end up pushing them down until you’re able to pretend they don’t exist at all. As with everything, being able to express your feelings accurately takes practice, so don’t give up just yet, Cap. Trust me, your loved ones will be patient. They might even help you understand your feelings a little better, so long as you allow yourself to open up to them.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
You’re running away from reality today, Aquarius, but when the Moon opposes Neptune today, you’re starting to fear the day it finally catches up on you. While you’re in a haze, you ignore it. You indulge yourself in material pleasures, trying to fill the void with mindless purchases. Deep down, however, you long to be understood by another soul, but you don’t know where to find them. Spending time with your friends can help you find the connection you’re longing for, Aquarius. When you’re having a hard time, remember that there’s always people out there who’ve got your back.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces, self-doubt is your worst enemy today when the Moon clashes with Neptune. You pride yourself in your career, but now you find yourself doubting whether or not you truly deserved your achievements or if it’s just dumb luck. Maybe an unsupportive partner started this doubting, but remember that a supportive partner will always get you out of your self-deprecating funk. Remember that you worked incredibly hard to get to where you are now, Pisces, so don’t let anyone make you think you don’t deserve the fruits of your hard work.
