Horoscope For Today: Saturday, June 22, 2024

Today can feel like a tug of war emotionally for the zodiac signs!

As if yesterday’s full moon in Capricorn wasn’t intense enough, we continue today with a few oppositions that can make all of us feel at odds with ourselves. The moon in Capricorn will oppose Venus in Cancer earlier in the day, which may make us feel unbalanced and insecure, notably in our relationships and creative experiences. The moon will also make an opposition to Mercury in Cancer, which could bring us insights but may also make it more challenging to think and communicate clearly. We may feel more defensive than usual, especially if we feel backed into a corner, making it essential to watch our words today.

Despite the tension, we have some support from the moon, forming a trine to Mars in Taurus. This can help us take practical action where necessary, and we may feel more conscious about improving ourselves in certain areas of life. We will still be dealing with intense emotions, but this can help ground us if we lean into it.

Check out the signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

You’re trying to have it all, Aries, but it’s easier said than done. You’re feeling confident in your career path, or at least feel you have a good head on your shoulders in that department. You feel supported and resourceful, notably in effectively managing your finances. However, this confidence in your career could be causing issues regarding your home life and relationships, especially if you haven’t been able to strike a balance. You may feel defensive on this subject, especially if passive-aggressive comments or confrontations arise. Keep in mind that it’s in your best interest to have a strong work/life balance, and this could be a sign that it needs work. Rather than acting out on your emotions impulsively, take a deep breath and try to get to the root of the matter.

Taurus

You’re longing to step out of your comfort zone, but it’s not as simple as it appears. On the one hand, you feel more motivated than ever to do what it takes to pursue new dreams and discover new elements of yourself that make you feel more secure and confident. However, stepping away from what you’ve always known isn’t always easy, and those in your life who are comfortable where they are may not be as understanding. You may even feel strongly about defending your position, but if you feel backed into a corner, you may respond aggressively or make decisions too quickly. You know what you need to do for yourself, so don’t rush into anything to prove a point. People love and care for you, and those who want what’s in your best interest will hear you out, but only if you can meet each other in the middle to have that conversation.

Gemini

Sometimes, you need to rely on others, Gemini, though that may feel difficult for you. You are feeling somewhat unbalanced today, notably when trying to balance your wants and needs with those of others. You feel supported in working through the baggage and insecurity you have in allowing others to step in and help you, but there is a deeply rooted part that doesn’t want anyone holding things over your head. The feeling is understandable, but it’s important to remember that some people want to help you but aren’t interested in using aid as a bargaining chip. These topics can be delicate, and rushing to make accusations out of emotion isn’t going to foster support or trust. As nerve-wracking as it can be, having a conversation with those you trust about where you are is the first step to getting the help you need.

Cancer

You long to emotionally support the people in your life, but part of you worries about its effects on you, Cancer. As someone ruled by the Moon, you know you can let your feelings run away from you, but you want to be mindful of that. You do feel supported by the groups you’re in, and you trust them with your wellbeing, making it easier to go the distance for them. However, if you aren’t paying attention to your own needs, you could feel resentful for being the person who carries the emotional weight in your relationships, and those feelings may come to a head today. Rather than keeping this all inside, it’s best to talk about what you’re experiencing with those you trust. If you keep things buried, they will come out in the worst ways, making it more difficult to repair those relationships down the road. 

Leo

You’re leaning into your routines, but what you’re taking on could result in burnout if you aren’t paying attention, Leo. Naturally, you want to care for yourself and be the best at whatever you do. Currently, your work ethic and routines are supported by your long-term goals, and you feel invigorated by your progress. However, when we throw ourselves too aggressively into something, we can’t always see when we neglect other areas of our lives. Today may bring up some struggle of balancing your inner realm and emotional/mental needs with your physical demands, and it may bring out the worst in you. Be mindful of all your needs today, not just the physical ones, so you aren’t lashing out at those who don’t deserve it.

Virgo

You’re longing to express yourself, but who are you performing for, Virgo? You feel emotionally in tune with your self-expression and creativity and even feel deeply inspired by the world around you and the larger-than-life concepts of exploration. You may feel motivated to create and release in ways you’ve never thought to before. However, you’re struggling with feeling selfish for leaning into what you want rather than creating something with “purpose” or that others will approve of. You may even feel direct pressure from the groups you’re in on the subjects. If others aren’t able to understand where you’re coming from, you may feel the need to defend yourself or lash out towards those you feel are trying to contain you. Remember, it’s okay to create and express yourself simply because you want to. It’s also important to be transparent with those around you rather than being reactive and saying words you can’t take back. 

Libra

You’re pulling more into yourself today, Libra, but it feels as though larger forces are calling for your attention. Emotionally, you feel more reserved, and taking time for yourself feels more supported and necessary than usual. However, there are responsibilities and those in authority over you pushing for you to show up in prominent ways, which could cause significant tension. The easy thing to do is to cave in or lash out at those who aren’t considering your needs, but truthfully, you know neither option is wise. If you have things you’ve committed to, it’s important to honor that, but you also need to set some professional boundaries to get the rest and recharge you need to keep showing up well in your public areas of life. Otherwise, it’s going to catch up with you.

Scorpio

It’s easy to stay within what is familiar, Scorpio, but that doesn’t mean you should deny yourself the chance to explore. On one hand, you’re feeling more nostalgic and connected to where you are, which isn’t a bad thing. In fact, some of your closest connections may be to those who live near you, and you could feel more inspired than usual to reach out and spend some quality time together. However, there are aspects of you that feel the need to branch out, and the tension of not wanting to risk your relationships pushes you to fight that instinct. Remember that the people who deeply love you want you to grow, and it’s not wrong for you to explore other ideas and concepts, even if they aren’t perfectly in line with what you’ve always known. You’re allowed to push yourself, Scorpio, and it won’t cost you the relationships of people who genuinely care about you.

Sagittarius

You’re feeling more secure in yourself today, Sagittarius, but you may have to settle essential matters with others. You are more confident in matters involving money and your deeply held values, and you’re feeling more proud of yourself for the skills you’ve used to make that happen for yourself. However, as you become more successful, others may show up wanting you to help them out. Some of these are likely valid requests, especially if you have unpaid debts. Some cases may involve people trying to take advantage of you. It’s up to you to use discernment to determine the difference because not everyone is entitled to your time or money.

Capricorn

You’re feeling yourself today, Capricorn, but others may not be as ready to celebrate your newfound confidence as you would hope. You feel more in touch with yourself than you have in some time, and even the sides of you that are creative and playful are having their time in the spotlight. However, as you shift your priorities and embrace yourself more, others may struggle with feeling as though they are being shoved to the sidelines. Naturally, you don’t want to neglect your relationships, so ensure you still show up for the people you love. It’s just as important for you to enjoy and celebrate yourself without having to drop everything the second someone wants you to. Balance is key, and some honest conversations could help you navigate a better path that doesn’t involve making yourself smaller. 

Aquarius

You’re in need of a rest today, Aquarius, but the pressures of feeling you have work to do can make that a difficult thing to accept. You’re feeling more introspective, and you are aware that taking some time to yourself is beneficial. You feel more encouraged to stay home and let yourself recharge from everything going on in your life lately. However, there is always something that needs to get done, and tasks that threaten to pile up can make you feel guilty, especially if it’s coming from other people putting that pressure on you. Setting boundaries is essential, and it’s not wrong for you to take much-needed time for yourself. Take care of anything that cannot wait, and commit to dealing with everything else tomorrow. You deserve a break.

Pisces

You’re leaning more into your support networks today, Pisces, but you may harbor some feelings about it. You know the importance of community, especially with those who share your values. You feel more supported and validated by those around you, and it’s a joy to experience it. However, part of you may harbor some feelings and concern about losing yourself in a group, or feeling as though you should be handling things yourself rather than leaning on others. It’s okay to want to be accepted, and you’re allowed to ask for that support when needed. Keep in mind that your unique self has value, too, and you won’t lose yourself as long as you’re connected to trustworthy people who encourage you to express yourself without shaming you for it.
