In this daily horoscope for April 2, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

It’s a mixed bag kind of a day. That's because the optimistic Sagittarius moon spends much of the day under duress from Mercury and Neptune in dreamy Pisces and aggressive Mars in chatty Gemini. As a result, we could find ourselves feeling a bit crankier or moodier than usual. The best way to navigate this is by not focusing too much on the past or getting caught up in wishful thinking.

With the Sagittarius moon and Mars in Gemini opposing each other at the start of the day, it’s best to keep some of our thoughts and opinions to ourselves. As Mercury in Pisces meets up with powerful Pluto in Capricorn in the morning as well, we’re encouraged to be more intuitive in how we think and communicate. By late afternoon, the vibe shifts for the better as the Sagittarius moon joins forces with expansive Jupiter in Aquarius, encouraging us to find the silver lining and hope for the future, as well as share some laughs with friends.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your April 2021 monthly horoscope.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle
