Channeling our energies in a productive fashion will require a bit more effort than usual. The Moon in Capricorn jumps into an opposition to Venus in Cancer, and then the Sun, also in Cancer, will make an uncomfortable quincunx to Pluto in Aquarius at 8:01 am EDT. We may struggle to tell if we should listen to our hearts, minds, or our ambitions. The Moon cools off with a trine to Mars in Taurus, easing tension, before opposing Mercury, urging us to speak our minds.
March 21 – April 19
You may find yourself disconnected from the people around you. The reason for this out-to-sea sensation is the misalignment between the Sun in your emotional 4th house and Pluto in your communal 11th house. Even if you know people are expecting you to show up and participate in their plans, you may not be in the mood. Sharing space with others might just be the last thing you want to do — you shouldn’t have to engage if you’re not feeling it.
April 20 – May 20
A casual approach isn’t going to cut it today. It’s understandable that you want to keep things light while the Sun bounds through your easy-going 3rd house, but the Sun’s odd alignment to Pluto in your ambitious 10th house will force you to change tactics and put on your game face. It may feel a bit jarring at first! Still, if you take the time to do the necessary work, you can then shrug the seriousness right off and get back to chit-chatting afterward.
May 21 – June 20
The desire for something stimulating can easily overpower your more grounded urges. You’re in a productive mindset while the Sun tours your 2nd House of Salary, but an unusual angle to Pluto in your 9th House of Adventure may make you much more interested in exciting possibilities, rather than mundane matters. This can make your usual tasks seem especially dull. Instead of wallowing in boredom, make an effort to inject your routine with more meaning and purpose, even if you create it yourself.
June 21 – July 22
Someone else’s business may get in the way of tending to your own. You’re focused on yourself while the Sun tours your sign, but that energy shifts when the Sun trips over Pluto in your 8th House of Shared Resources. Some of your issues are potentially tied up with another person. A particular relationship may require a quality inspection or some TLC, or perhaps a financial agreement regarding a loan or outstanding debt will make its presence known. Maintain a sense of diplomacy.
July 23 – August 22
People can catch you off guard at any moment. You’re prone to being a little bit out of it while the Sun moves through your 12th House of the Subconscious, but that won’t keep people at bay when the Sun locks into a quincunx with Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships. Someone may act out or surprise you in a way that feels like they aren’t being sensitive to your needs. Avoid taking something personally if it isn’t intended that way.
August 23 – September 22
Your responsibilities aren’t going to be easily set aside right now. It’s difficult to ignore the call of your friends while the Sun tours your 11th House of Connections, but any get-togethers may have to wait when the Sun has its own awkward conversation with Pluto in your 6th House of Productivity. A sudden task could demand your attention, or a co-worker might need you to fix something they messed up. This may come at the expense of your personal time.
September 23 – October 22
Denying your creative urges isn’t a good idea. The Sun in your career sector is inspiring you to work hard and aim for what you want, but a solar angle to Pluto in your expressive 5th house will make it very tempting to put your personal spin on something. This can work wonders — if you apply your talents to the correct situation. Make sure that you aren’t just trying to grab the spotlight for yourself, as any grandstanding will rub people the wrong way.
October 23 – November 21
You may want to fly far and wide, but something keeps pulling you back to where you came from. The Sun is driving you to leap fences and abandon the known path as it moves through your vast 9th house, but you might get stopped in your tracks once it pokes Pluto in your domestic 4th house. A home or family matter could demand your attention, forcing you to hit the brakes on more exciting plans. Wait for clearer skies before you fly away.
November 22 – December 21
Everyone seems to be operating in different orbits right now. You’re prone to keeping to yourself while the Sun is in your secretive 8th house, but that may not be simple when the Sun connects to Pluto in your talkative 3rd house. This brings people and communications your way. It could be difficult to meet other people’s energy levels, so don’t force yourself to meet others halfway if you’re not aiming for the same destination. For the time being, to each their own.
December 22 – January 19
Your priorities are possibly at odds with just about everyone. Socializing is typically vital with the Sun touring your relationship sector, but watch out for the Sun tripping over Pluto in your income zone! Material issues could pop up without warning. There may be a certain insecurity around finances, or maybe someone else will point something out about your monetary situation that spurs you on to further action. Partnerships of all kinds could be put on ice while you deal with Pluto’s antics.
January 20 – February 18
Be extra mindful of yourself. It’s easy to stay busy while the Sun is in your competent 6th house, but the Sun’s misunderstanding with extreme Pluto in your sign could result in you acting out or going overboard at the office or elsewhere during your usual routine. You’re on the edge of snapping at someone without meaning to, or simply displaying more of an edge than you realize. Check in with yourself throughout the day and take space if you’re feeling riled up.
February 19 – March 20
There’s no need to stress yourself out at present. The Sun is currently in your fun-loving 5th house, smoothing the bumpy road of life as best it can. That said, the Sun’s odd angle to Pluto in your subconscious sector could make it feel like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle. Instead of fixating on what you don’t know, pay attention to the positive things around you! Things may not be as bad as pessimism is making them out to be.
