Your Daily Horoscope, by Madame Clairevoyant: September 17, 2025
Tension between Mercury in analytical Virgo and Saturn in dreamy Pisces could make it tempting to dwell on your problems today — and easy to overlook the resources and support available to you. If you’re not feeling optimistic at the moment, you don’t need to force it; just try not to spiral so far that you lose all perspective. Life may be especially challenging right now, but you still have plenty of options. Don’t convince yourself that you’re powerless.
Aries Daily Horoscope
Most of the time, you try to take charge when life throws problems your way. Instead of wallowing and convincing yourself that your only option is to wait around and see what happens next, you prefer to do something about it. Today, though, even if you’re taking good care of yourself and doing everything “right,” you may still feel a bit sad and defeatist. Some days are just like this — you don’t need to work harder or make drastic changes to your life; you just need to keep going and trust that it’ll pass.
Taurus Daily Horoscope
When others misunderstand you, you tend to assume it’s because you didn’t express yourself clearly — maybe you rushed through your ideas or let important things go unsaid. But today, don’t be too quick to blame yourself. Sometimes, no matter how clear you are, others just won’t get it; they’re too caught up in their own biases to accurately assess a situation. Do your best to say what you mean. While not everyone will understand, trust that some people will.
Gemini Daily Horoscope
In general, you try not to stress out too much over any individual decision. You understand that it’s less important to make the perfect choice in a given situation than it is to consistently do your best over time. Today, though, you may feel more pressure to get things “right,” worrying that a wrong move could compromise your entire future. While it’s a good idea to act with a bit of extra caution right now, try not to let fear paralyze you.
Cancer Daily Horoscope
When you’re facing a particularly thorny problem, it can be easy to convince yourself that you’ll never find a solution. Today, though, try to remember that you aren’t stuck and that genuine change is possible. You’re growing and learning all the time, and the world around you is in constant motion. Improving your life may not be simple or quick, but it’s not hopeless, either. Just because you haven’t yet seen the change you desire, that doesn’t mean your efforts aren’t making a difference.
Leo Daily Horoscope
Sometimes, it’s tempting to blame everyone around you for your problems — even when, deep down, you know they aren’t at fault. Today, though, you’re more likely to do the opposite, blaming yourself for everything that has ever gone wrong in your life. To an extent, it can be valuable, even empowering, to own the mistakes you’ve made; the more honest you are with yourself, the more equipped you’ll be for the future. Just make sure you’re not taking things too far. Beating yourself up over things you had no control over will only make you feel worse.
Virgo Daily Horoscope
Today, you’re likely to feel a bit misunderstood or underappreciated — even, perhaps especially, by the people closest to you. You have the sense that while you’re always looking out for others, nobody seems to do the same for you. Everyone seems too preoccupied with other matters to pay much attention to you. But if your needs aren’t being met, try not to assume it’s because nobody cares. Maybe they’re all dealing with issues you aren’t aware of; maybe they don’t even realize you’re unhappy. Make a point of communicating before writing anyone off.
Libra Daily Horoscope
When you’re well rested and in a good headspace and have the resources you need, you’re virtually unstoppable. Today, just be careful that you don’t expect yourself to function at this level all the time. When you’re missing the tools you need to succeed, of course you won’t perform as well as you might under ideal conditions — it’s not because you haven’t worked hard enough but because you needed more support than you were given, so try not to be too hard on yourself.
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
It’s hard to be warm and openhearted with others when you don’t trust that your affection will be returned. Making the first move feels too risky; you’d rather wait to put yourself out there until someone else does. But today, playing it safe will probably only make you feel worse. The more you keep up your walls, the less likely anyone is to make an effort to connect with you. If you feel lonely, don’t wait for anyone else to fix it: Treating others with kindness and generosity will allow them to respond in kind.
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
On your more optimistic days, you believe nearly anything is possible — but today, you may feel stuck, trapped under the weight of your past choices, bad habits, or simple inertia. But just because it’s difficult to break free of everything holding you back, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Don’t give up on yourself: Genuine change takes a long time, but if you keep making small, consistent efforts to build the life you want, it’ll pay off sooner or later.
Capricorn Daily Horoscope
You may get the strong feeling today that you’re running out of time to build the life you’ve dreamed about. In the past, you might have been content to take your time and trust the process, but that feels inadequate now; every moment you’re not making measurable progress feels like a moment wasted. But the worst thing you can do now would be to start rushing. You’ll only make avoidable mistakes that way. While you may not be moving as fast as you’d like, trust that you’re still heading in the right direction.
Aquarius Daily Horoscope
If you don’t get the external validation you want, it could be easy to take things to heart today. You may be quick to feel rejected and imagine you’re a failure. It may feel as if all the signs are telling you to give up. But in reality, you’re probably reading way too much into other people’s behavior. In any case, what matters most right now isn’t what others think but what you think, so try to dig deep and find the motivation you need within yourself.
Pisces Daily Horoscope
It could be easy to compare yourself unfavorably to the people around you today. Everyone else seems to have more than you do, to be more impressive, to be, in some indefinable way, better than you. But when you try to match what other people in your life are doing, you’ll always come up short. Jealousy will only distract you and hold you back; remember that you have your own standards and ambitions. You aren’t supposed to replicate others’ successes and chase their dreams but to do the things that matter to you.
