We may currently be disappointed when things don’t work out the way we think they should. As image-focused Venus clashes with soppy Neptune at 5:13 am EST, perhaps we have a clear mental picture of what’s supposed to happen, but the actual humans involved could fail to play their parts correctly. While the tender Cancer Moon squares touchy Chiron, hurt feelings might quickly turn to blame. Still, Luna’s sextile to innovative Uranus offers possibilities for improvement — if we’re willing to look for them.

March 21-April 19

A relationship could currently be off to a promising start, but the vulnerable feelings it stirs up potentially scare you. As sweet Venus in your partnership zone challenges sensitive Neptune in your secretive 12th house, you may be reluctant to show your softer side. Your fear of getting hurt might tempt you to act edgier than you really are. Keep in mind that you aren’t required to reveal more than you find comfortable, so don’t provoke trouble that doesn’t need to happen.

April 20-May 20

The idea of a job well done could inspire you now. Unfortunately, as aesthetic Venus in your detail-oriented 6th house misreads airbrushed Neptune in your community zone, the vision you’ve picked up from social media for an exciting project might not be entirely realistic. Instead of letting your critical attitude drag you down when your efforts don’t quite work out as planned, try asking someone around you in real life for feedback on your progress. You may realize that you’re doing better than you’d thought!

May 21-June 20

An unbalanced relationship could currently push you to clarify what you really want. Perhaps you idealize someone in a position of authority. Part of you may wish you were able to relax around this person — to connect face-to-face instead of always looking up to them. However, that might mean you’d have to give up some component of the existing dynamic that you actually enjoy. You’ll probably have to pause and honestly acknowledge that satisfaction before you can look for another way to get it.

June 21-July 22

An overly sentimental attitude toward your home or family life might work against you now. While sensual Venus in your domestic zone questions idealistic Neptune in your dogmatic 9th house, rigid beliefs you’ve picked up about the way things are supposed to look could block you from seeing the blessings you already have all around you. No authority figure, no matter how revered, can decide for you what makes you happy. Take today to make an effort to trust your own impressions.

July 23-August 22

You’re currently equipped to say all the right things. What do you actually mean, though? While smooth Venus in your conversation zone falls off the radar of elusive Neptune in your 8th House of Collaboration, you could be so obsessed with convincing someone else to make a commitment to you that you lose track of what you specifically hope to do together afterward. Whether this connection is business or personal, that’s not good! Focus on your goals rather than your ego.

August 23-September 22

Feeling content with your finances could presently give you extra room to consider being generous toward others. Unfortunately, as abundant Venus in your money zone misunderstands shifty Neptune in your partnership sector, a recipient might take advantage of your good intentions and push for more. You’ll eventually have to know where your limits are — because they probably won’t. Look to your peers to see how others have handled similar situations, but their perspective doesn’t have to be the final word.

September 23-October 22

Being liked could currently be a high priority for you. Sadly, your desire to please everyone will probably backfire if you’ve overcommitted yourself. As appealing Venus in your sign misjudges vague Neptune in your responsible 6th house, you may have agreed to be in multiple places at the same time. Unsnarling the mess is likely to involve disappointing someone — sometimes, that’s life. That said, knowing what you can’t accomplish will free you up to do the best job possible on the things you can.

October 23-November 21

Deciding what you want to do for pleasure today might be a challenge. While desirous Venus in your contemplative 12th house agitates imaginative Neptune in your 5th House of Fun, you can possibly list plenty of exciting ideas — but none that quite fit your mood. It’s okay to just rest and relax without doing much, even if you feel as though you should be engaged in something that sounds more thrilling. You don’t need to impress anyone other than yourself!

November 22-December 21

A pleasant opportunity to socialize might be available to you now. However, as cheerful Venus in your 11th House of Friendship grates against melancholy Neptune in your domestic zone, you may be distracted by an unsettling situation at home. Perhaps you’re ashamed to let your friends know all the details of what’s upsetting you. In that case, don’t tell them! You’re allowed to leave behind your troubles for a while — you’re not obligated to pick at the scab every single moment.

December 22-January 19

Getting recognized in a positive way is possible today. That said, you’re potentially still in the early stages of your journey toward some larger goal. Although encouragement at this point can be motivating, it could also get people asking questions about what comes next. The more you say, the more your audience might start picking at things. You may not currently have the answers, and delving into this is likely to cause frustration. Keep the focus on what you know for sure so far.

January 20-February 18

An ambitious adventure may call to you at the moment. As fun-loving Venus in your 9th House of Journeys looks past spacey Neptune in your finance zone, you might not see the financial side of your dream trip accurately. Someone else could seize the opportunity to tell you that in an unkind way. Despite their delivery, they probably have a point. Even so, you have the right to identify sacrifices you’re willing to make to get something you really want. Move forward with perspective.

February 19-March 20

You might presently like the privacy you get from keeping some things about yourself vague. However, it’s understandable if you’re also drawn to an opportunity for connection that asks more of you. You can’t necessarily have it both ways as friendly Venus in your intimacy sector provokes mysterious Neptune in your sign. Suddenly flipping from one extreme to the other isn’t likely to serve you well either. Consider sharing in manageable amounts — you don’t have to reveal your whole life story today!
