    Daily Horoscope for September 18, 2024

    A few hurdles are ahead on our way to the end of the day. Confusion obscures the starting line as the Moon conjoins mystical Neptune in Pisces. On top of that, the planets will throw more mental roadblocks in front of us when Mercury opposes stoic Saturn at 4:50 am EDT. Satisfying conclusions could seem out of reach, especially once...

    • Our intuition can guide us to productive places at present. The Moon is moving through dreamy Pisces, spurring us to take meaningful action and have valuable conversations when it opposes messenger Mercury in Virgo before conjoining stoic Saturn. Luna then forms an excitable square to Jupiter in Gemini, before culminating in this year's only Pisces Full Moon at 10:34 pm EDT. Following the ideal road ahead doesn't require hard-headed stubbornness! Keeping our hearts and minds open should light our way forward.

    Horoscopes

    Open hearts heal the quickest. The Moon begins the day in future-minded Aquarius, and will encourage some healthy rebellion when it squares off Uranus in Taurus. Luna then drifts into gentle Pisces to make an energizing trine to Mars in emotional Cancer. Today's main focus, though, is the major opposition between Venus in Libra and Chiron in Aries at 5:29 pm EDT. This motivates us to begin healing our old wounds by willingly engaging with them and nurturing our souls in the process.
