Daily Horoscope

Aries

The Moon moves through your sign, dearest ram, forming supportive connections with Saturn and Pluto early this morning. You'll brim with excitement while chasing hopes and dreams, but must recognize the importance of having a solid plan. Put some method behind your madness by approaching the day with purpose. Reinforce beneficial structures, and cut ties with unnecessary distractions or destructive influences. Acknowledge the value of making friends in high places, but don't expect favors until a genuine connection has been established. Appearing too eager will likely backfire when Luna and Jupiter square off, forcing you to hide away and lick your wounds.
