Close out the week with some important spiritual guidance. The daily horoscope can tell you whether you should walk boldly into the future, or whether you need to take some time to plan your next steps.

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces: do you feel the need to take a step back from social obligations? Do you just want to curl up in a ball under some blankets?

That might be because Venus is opposing Saturn today, or it might just be the result of a bit too much fun on Saturday. This alignment can feel like we've been doused with cold water. Maybe it's money matters that cast a shadow over our day, or fear of daunting feedback.

But whatever is making you feel like hiding today is sure to pass, even if it seems dire and dramatic.
