Let’s face it, even if someone wanted to boost their vitamin D through food alone, the options are pretty limited. Here are alternatives.

Your daily horoscope gets real today. Mighty Mars in Leo and potent Pluto in Aquarius are in an exact opposition that comes to a boil very early this morning, pushing us to an inevitability we may have been avoiding. This culmination could date back to early November, the last time these powerful planetary players faced off. The good news is that once this passes, even if we’ve been forced to let something go, we can move into regeneration mode—building something better in our lives. If a situation has hit the point of no return, be it a conflict at work or in a relationship, try to see any breakdowns as potential for a beautiful and necessary breakthrough.

Aries

March 21–April 19

There’s no sugarcoating it, Aries, when your planetary ruler is both retrograde and opposite Pluto, planet of karma—you’re going to feel it acutely. This opposition creates conflict between your house of love and your friendship zone, potentially pitting your besties against your lover or partner. But any battle royale is more likely to occur in your head than in the ring, so let it pass and don’t inflame anyone’s passions.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

The Mars-Pluto opposition activates your fourth house of home and your tenth house of career, Taurus. A long-simmering work-life balance issue could come to a head, and you’ll have to navigate around it calmly. If you have to pull away from one responsibility to dedicate yourself more to the other, remember that trying to be everything to everyone all the time can only lead to burnout.

Gemini

May 21–June 20

There is an intense opposition between Mars in your communication zone and Pluto in your house of higher education this morning, Gemini. This can make you feel like your mind is on fire with ideas, but when you share them, you could be shocked to learn that people disagree. Pull back on the hot takes for just a moment, and consider having a deeper dialogue.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

With aggressive Mars opposing Pluto from your house of income to your house of debt, financial issues could be stressful today. You tend to be a saver and not a spender, Cancer, and the current astrology could make you feel guilt or shame about your relationship with money. As long as you know your value, no one else’s opinions about your spending habits matter.

Leo

July 23–August 22

The Mars-Pluto opposition centered on your own sign peaks early this morning. The good news: you’re getting one of the harshest astro-events of the year out of the way at the very beginning of 2025. The not-so-great news: this one could feel sharp, prickly, and challenging for your relationships and your ego. Tread lightly and carefully, and be very, very kind yourself today, Leo.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

Centering yourself and practicing calming self-care is the key to overcoming today’s difficult opposition between Mars and Pluto. Your health and dream zones are activated, so you may feel under the weather or have had insomnia recently, Virgo. Rather than push yourself, make this a self-care Friday. Yes, it’s more than okay to take a nap instead of taking on more responsibility.

Libra

September 23–October 22

Intense conflict could erupt today if you don’t navigate around it carefully, Libra. With the planet of explosion (Mars) opposed to the planet of implosion (Pluto), your social and romantic worlds could be fraught and at odds with one another. The problem is people-pleasing won’t fix it. You’ve got to tell your own truth.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

Mars and Pluto are your planetary rulers, Scorpio, putting you right in the crosshairs of today’s intense astrology matchup. With your career zone and your domestic sector caught up in this testy opposition, you might feel pulled between your professional calling and the needs of your home and family. It may seem impossible, but you can find the right balance.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

Your boundless natural optimism will probably be called for today, Sagittarius. Mars opposes Pluto and fires up your philosophy zone and house of talking and thinking. In short, you’ve probably got some heavy stuff on your mind, but your opinions could be instantly misconstrued, causing an argument to erupt. If someone challenges your worldview, be ready to defend it gently without going on the offensive because it’ll be exhausting.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

It’s not your average Friday during Capricorn Season by any stretch. With an aggressive retrograde Mars opposing potent Pluto in your money zone, you’re sharply focused on your finances and how to master them. Instead of relentlessly pursuing an economic goal, why not take a deep breath and reflect on what making more money would really mean to you in the long run?

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

It’s a challenging day in your relationship realm, Aquarius. Mars, the planet of passion, is in your partnership zone, and early this morning, this forceful planet opposes Pluto in your own stars. Whether you’re currently involved or single, this is one of those moments when you might feel like love is an urgent matter and one worth fighting for.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

The moon remains in your sensitive stars today, Pisces. But there’s a bigger issue: malefic Mars opposes powerful Pluto from your work zone to your dream zone. This could be quite tense for both body and mind, and it’s super important to have outlets to release that stress. Don’t let deadlines overwhelm you — take as many breaks as needed.
