Aries
March 21 – April 19
What legacy are you building right now? Ambitious Mars squares Chiron, throwing your career drive and your personal identity into the cosmic blender. Even if you aren’t currently working or don’t strongly identify with your job, you can still build a valuable reputation. Wherever you spend most of your time, find your principles and stick to them — no matter how much others pressure you. You’re steadying the metaphorical room by choosing clarity over speed. Take the lead where it counts!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
This afternoon favors curiosity and open minds. Your 9th House of Knowledge takes the spotlight, though it must share with your calmer 12th house. This is due to Mars and Chiron’s square, as it invites you to explore unique ideas without abandoning your emotional core. Debates can get personal quickly, so be sure to back your arguments up with facts in advance. Should quiet doubts surface, reflect upon them before making any bold statements. Opening your mind is the best way to increase your options.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Ideas swirl with restless, playful sparks. Tension between group efforts and individual sensitivities prompts careful handling of shared money, as fiery Mars in your 8th House Mutual Resources jabs at aching Chiron in your 11th House of Peers. If you go out to lunch, make sure everyone knows how the check will be split in advance to avoid arguments at the table. For your own finances, decide based on facts, not pressure. Then make your decisions known clearly so the plan lands with ease.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Having boundaries doesn’t mean you don’t care, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. With Mars in your 7th House of Links and Chiron in your 10th House of Professionality, their square could impact some business or social connections. Perhaps someone wants to be your friend after a group project, but you’re not interested in spending more time together. Make an effort to let them down gently — though you could give them a chance! This might signal the start of an enjoyable friendship.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Pressure rises, but creativity can find a path through it. Aggressive Mars squares vulnerable Chiron, energizing your 6th House of Health and your growth zone, asking you to protect your energy as you refine supportive habits. If a co-worker interrupts, feel free to request that they return later — they should understand your methods. That said, if you can help them quickly, it may be more efficient to share your knowledge first so you can get back to your original plans without future distractions.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Today is like a game of chess — even your small moves matter. Don’t worry, you can handle it! Mars and Chiron are sparring, potentially lighting some fires around creative matters and close relationships. You’re ready to refine a rough draft (literally or metaphorically) and keep the focus on quality over quantity. Also, be sure to celebrate small wins to keep your motivation high. Deeper feelings could surface with little warning, but you can share them with trusted people at a pace that feels safe.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Don’t lie to yourself in your home — it should be a safe place for truth to emerge. This is especially vital as Mars in your 4th House of Memory zaps Chiron in your sociable 7th house. If you aren’t happy with your domestic situation, it’s time to do something about it. You may need to renegotiate chores with a housemate or decide what truly matters for your peace of mind. Have patience as you figure out what’s realistic to ask of others and yourself.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
The truth isn’t always easy to handle — but today, you’ve got the strength to make sure it’s heard. Hot-headed Mars and measured Chiron are fussing over your communication style and your daily habits, which means it’s time to think about how you speak on a daily basis. How do you ask others for favors, and how do they respond? If someone dodges your requests, try asking a clarifying question to avoid hidden assumptions. Honesty clears the air and deepens mutual trust.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Confidence grows as money choices show clarity. Practical courage lifts your finances as energetic Mars squares vulnerable Chiron in your 2nd House of Accounting, guiding you to spend wisely while respecting personal values. You could cancel an impulse order or revisit a subscription, prioritizing options that have already proved their value. If fun plans from your 5th House of Creativity and Play tempt your budget, look for a lower-cost version that still feels joyful. Being choosy right now builds your overall financial freedom.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Discomfort isn’t necessarily a bad thing today. It can sharpen your focus, especially once Mars and Chiron meet up for their engaging square. They’re challenging you to respect yourself by releasing outdated self-criticism. You may reset your goals to better fit your true ambitions. If family gets in your way, you can acknowledge their demands without abandoning the future you actually want. Once they leave you be, go ahead and share your plan with someone supportive to lock in momentum.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Your resolve is stronger than ever, but it may not look like you imagined. With vigorous Mars and considerate Chiron boosting your mental capacity, progress is more likely to occur behind the scenes or in quiet moments. If you’re struggling to focus, try journaling through a knotty thought until it loosens. If a message demands attention, reply after centering yourself so your words land kindly. A short walk could also encourage an overactive mind to chill out. Protect your energy to serve what matters.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
A tender ripple can become a tidal wave of momentum. Your 11th House of Social Networks stirs as passionate Mars squares Chiron, encouraging you to lead a group effort while honoring your sensitivity. Coordinate a community meeting and set a simple frame for the outcome so everyone feels included. Look for practical ways of handling prohibitive costs, like renting tools instead of buying them or finding volunteers with the skills you need. When you work as a team, you can celebrate as one!
