Now that Mercury is firmly back in fiery Aries as of late last night, we should be cooking with gas and hitting all our marks… but not so fast, say the stars. Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion, is blurring our big plans today, so our ideas and ideals may not match our reality quite yet. We may feel like we’re in an action movie or a romantasy novel—or both at the same time, depending on which part of our chart Mercury and Neptune are meeting up in. Diving into the unknown headfirst could be incredibly seductive, but your daily horoscope is not everything that it seems to be. If you feel like you’re running a marathon in a dream but not getting anywhere, pause, reset, and know that things are about to speed up exponentially in a few days.

Aries
March 21–April 19
You’re the star of stars today, Aries, but your dreams could be bigger than your britches. You may want to tell a superhero story that puts you at the center, but just be careful not to promise more than you can deliver, unless you’re ready to fake it ’til you make it.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
Your overactive imagination is something else today, Taurus. The Mercury-Neptune conjunction in your twelfth house of subconscious thoughts is putting your psyche on overtime and it could have you feeling a bit scatterbrained, but also creatively brilliant. Write down all your ideas, but be prepared to cross most of them out tomorrow.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
You’re way up in the clouds today as your planetary ruler joins with the most mystical, magical planet of all in your social zone. Friendships could feel like magic, and you might feel like you can contact your besties without actually talking or texting. Yes, ESP is real right now, Gemini—and you’re probably a pro at sending psychic messages.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
The very first time that Mercury and Neptune conjoin in your career zone can make you feel like you’re capable of literally any professional feat, Cancer. And yes, that’s probably true, but this could also give you outsized expectations about a near-term success. Rather than fantasize about something too big to be likely to happen anytime soon, just let your creativity flow.
Leo
July 23–August 22
The influence of Neptune’s presence in your fellow fire sign is still new to you, Leo, but you can get a stronger sense of what it’s going to be like today. Your ideals, ideas, and worldview might radically shift, and right now, those thoughts are likely to flow like a rushing river. Some of them might be totally outlandish, but you should still take note of them all.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
Oh my, Virgo, this could be a truly wild day for your fantasy life. Your planetary ruler is joining forces with Neptune, the planet of illusion, in your sexuality sector. Whether you currently have a partner or you’re flying solo, your imagination is likely to be very, very active. Enjoy it, but know that you’re probably not gonna go there IRL.
Libra
September 23–October 22
For the first time ever in your lifetime, the communication planet cuddles up with dreamy Neptune in your partnership zone, Libra. Relationship conversations could be pretty confusing. If you’re currently involved with someone, you may idealize your partner in a way you never have before.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
Buckle up, Scorpio, because getting down to business could be messy as hell today. Staying organized and on task may be hard as normal boundaries melt away in your daily life. Focusing on the most creative, open-ended tasks instead of fixed to-do’s might be a better way to approach your schedule.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
Your fantasy life is about to go fully off the charts, Sagittarius. With Mercury and Neptune merging in your fifth house of pleasure and romance for the first time in your life, it may feel like your brain is a movie studio churning out love scene after love scene. Enjoy the show!
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
Home is where your heart is in all the ways today, Capricorn. As Mercury joins with Neptune in your fourth house of roots for the first time in your life, it may feel like you’re suddenly tuned into your ancestry in profound, remarkable, and even psychic ways. It’s a great day to talk to your elders about where you came from.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
Your mind is pure magic today, Aquarius, but is it playing tricks on you? That’s the question as Mercury joins with Neptune in your third house of talking and thinking. This can make it feel like your every utterance and text is part poetry, but it could also confuse you and make you feel like you need another shot of espresso to get your brain through the day.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Your mind could feel like a bit of a mess today, Pisces, especially when it comes to money and resources. Your modern ruler Neptune gets a visit from Mercury in this part of your chart for the first time. This can make you wildly creative when it comes to finding new ways to make cash, but it can also make you a bit delusional about what you can truly afford—so be careful with what you put into the cart.
