Your daily astrological forecast from the friendliest corner of the cosmos.

These horoscopes are just for fun, totally unscientific, and definitely not life advice. Treat them like a friendly fortune cookie that wandered into Durham and got distracted by a food truck. If something resonates, enjoy it, and if it does not, shrug it off like pollen on a warm Triangle day.
- Aries (March 21-April 19) Today wants you to lead with patience, not pressure. Put your energy into one decision that has been lingering, and make it clean. If someone pushes back, keep your tone steady and your goal clear. You will feel better once you commit.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) You are craving stability, but a tiny change could improve your whole week. Try a new route, a new playlist, or a new approach to an old task. A practical conversation goes best when you start with what you appreciate. End the day with something simple and comforting.
- Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your curiosity is a superpower, but it can turn into noise if you do not filter it. Pick one question to chase, and ignore the rest for now. A quick check-in with a friend could spark an idea, or calm a worry. Keep your calendar realistic, and your words even more so.
- Cancer (June 21-July 22) Your sensitivity is tuned up, which means you notice everything, including what you need. Make space for a quiet moment before you jump into helping others. If something feels personal, pause and gather more context. A small act of care for yourself is not selfish, it is smart.
- Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You are magnetic today, but the best spotlight is the one you share. Compliment someone sincerely, and watch the energy shift. If you have been waiting for permission, consider this your reminder to go for it. Keep it playful, and do not overthink the response.
- Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The urge to optimize is strong, but perfection is not the assignment. Choose “better” and call it done. A detail you catch today could save you time later, so trust your eye. After work, let yourself be off-duty, even if it is just for an hour.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your day improves when you decide what matters most, and stop negotiating with distractions. If a relationship dynamic feels weird, bring it up calmly, and stick to facts. Beauty helps you reset, so tidy your space, or treat yourself to something lovely. You do not have to carry the whole mood.
- Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are reading between the lines, and you are probably right, but do not assume the worst. Ask one direct question, then listen without planning your comeback. A private goal benefits from a quiet, consistent step today. Keep your boundaries firm, and your heart open.
- Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your optimism is contagious, but do not let it bulldoze reality. A plan needs one practical detail to become real, so handle that first. If you are stuck indoors, find a little adventure anyway, even if it is a new lunch spot near Ninth Street. Say yes to learning something surprising.
- Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your discipline is strong, but your body might want a break. Pace yourself, and you will finish more. A small financial or scheduling check can bring relief, even if it is not exciting. Celebrate steady progress, not just big milestones.
- Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are in idea mode, and one of those ideas is worth sharing out loud. Do it simply, without apologizing for it. A group conversation could reveal who is really on your team. If you need a reset, take a walk downtown and let your brain breathe.
- Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your intuition is strong, but it needs grounding to be useful. Pick one creative or caring action, and make it real. Be cautious about rescuing someone who did not ask for help. End your day with something soothing, like music, warm tea, or a few quiet minutes watching the sky change color.
