The climate
The Sun opposite you puts relationships at the centre: the other reveals you to yourself.
Love and relationships
Venus faces you: the relationship is at the center, and the other person needs to be heard as much as you do. Balance giving and receiving. Mars facing you can inflame as much as irritate: passion does not rule out diplomacy.
Work and money
A debate ahead: Mercury in opposition sets points of view against each other. The winning argument is the one that respects the other person. Mars faces you: someone may stand up to you. Seek agreement rather than victory, and you will gain more. Jupiter at home in your sign: a period of expansion. Think bigger, but keep one foot on the ground. Saturn in trine: stability, credibility, lasting commitments. A good time to sign or to commit.
Energy and body
Moderate, stable energy: alternate effort and recovery, and do not push at the end of the day.
The advice
Move step by step: today rewards consistency more than brilliance.

Frequently asked questions
Is this monthly horoscope the same every year?
No: it is computed from the planetary positions of this precise month (sign ingresses, new and full moon, retrogrades), dated to the minute.
What does “solar house” mean?
Your sign is placed in house 1 and we count from there: a planet in the next sign is in your solar house 2, and so on. It is the method of sign horoscopes; with your rising sign, the real houses are even more precise.
