Your daily horoscopes for Friday March 8, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
While you often feel like a lone wolf, today’s moon-Mars combo platter keeps you in energetic “people person” mode. It won’t be hard to summon a collaborative spirit, so do! One of your ambitious goals will benefit from an extra set of eyes, ears and hands. Make sure you curate your crew with care. Your combative planetary ruler, Mars, can also be an agitator. This is not the time to train a newbie or rehab a slacker. Unless you want to double your workload, only enlist people who have their eye on the ball.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
Goals, goals, goals! As the moon and ambitious Mars sync up in your tenth house of career today, you can get into a solidly productive flow. If you have a few boxes left to tick before the workweek wraps, take a moment to prioritize so you can avoid scattering your energy. You exude VIP energy under these skies, so devote a portion of the day to outreach, like DM-ing influencers or sending off updates of your latest impressive wins. Be bold, but lead with facts rather than flattery.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
You’re not just expanding your horizons today, Gemini; you’re literally breaking through barriers! The moon and Mars kiki in your global ninth house, turning you into a de facto cultural ambassador. Mingle with new groups and sit through the “discomfort” phase if you don’t instantly fit it. While you’re rarely at a loss for words, trying to say something smart or clever could leave you grasping. There’s nothing wrong with being a keen listener. If you want to participate, do what a curious Gemini does best: Ask engaging questions!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
Today’s Aquarius moon sambas with passionate Mars in your seductive eighth house, which could add at least one pepper to your spice profile. Single Cancers could be trading photos and suggestive texts with a newly interested party (or two, or three). With lusty Mars in the frame, any sort of flirting heats up fast. Since the eighth house plays for keeps, make sure this is more than just an ego boost. It’s also a great day to research an investment opportunity: real estate, startups—even a friend’s budding business plan. That breadcrumb trail could lead to some legit moneymaking finds.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 8

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
Feeling sluggish? Today’s moon-Mars pairing in your wellness corner brings a turbo boost of motivation. Bundle up for a midday walk or find a great HIIT workout that you can do in your living room. Try adding “heating” ingredients to your dishes, like ginger, garlic and pepper. That’s a good reason to collect recipes for a veggie stew or butternut squash soup. If your workload feels overwhelming, this transit can help you locate the perfect assistant—perhaps to support you on a task or for the long haul.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
The moon and sexy Mars meet in your flamboyant fifth house today, luring your wild side out of the underbrush. Your passion cannot be contained, and it probably shows—from the expressions on your face to the colorful closet selects you make this morning. Just be sure to make love not war since contentious Mars can also spark your argumentative streak. Aim for healthy drama (think: glamorous makeup, an elaborate hairstyle, a steamy dance-off) instead of pushing someone’s buttons just to get a reaction out of them.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
The moon and energizing Mars align in your fourth house of home and family, bringing a flurry of activity—and perhaps a welcome guest—to your front door. You might have to go offline (and silence your phone) in order to get any work done. Since Mars can be an agitator, be careful that you don’t get sucked into a relative’s drama. What starts out as you being helpful could turn into someone dumping the problem in your lap. Not today, Scorpio—you have better things to do with your time!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
Filters, please! Your mind (and mouth) move at warp speed today as the moon and restless Mars share a flight path through your communication house. And we’re not talking garden-variety brainstorm… you’re in the midst of a mental monsoon! Try to capture as many of those inspired ideas as possible. Schedule conference calls, coffee dates and an evening hangout (tarot and vino?) as you’ll be especially social. Take it easy on the blunt or pointed remarks, though. You could trample someone’s tender feelings if you aren’t sensitive.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
Gear up for a fast-paced and productive Friday as the receptive moon and driven Mars align in Aquarius and your work and finance house. Your mind is on your money, and you should NOT be shy about pitching prospective clients or requesting a bigger budget for a project you’re spearheading. A bill or expense could stress you out. Think of clever ways to save, like pooling funds for a group expense or selling off a few things on Poshmark to make some quick cash. That extra hundred bucks you need could be sitting neglected and ready for resale on a hanger in the back of your closet.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
You’re an unstoppable force of nature today as the moon and make-it-happen Mars align in your sign for the day. No apologies for having lofty personal goals. You know what you want, so ask for it—firmly and confidently. Sure, you might come on stronger than a triple shot of espresso, but certain people could use a little push. If you don’t fight for your dreams, who will? This cosmic combo also gives you an abundance of sexy charisma. Pitch a fun plan to your friends and family—they’ll sign on fast!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday March 8
Letting go is a must—or you might explode with frustration! Today, the moon and agitator Mars meet up in your twelfth house of healing and transitions. You’ve given your all to a situation only to hit the same brick wall again and again. There’s nothing more to do here except step back and maybe have a cry with a supportive BFF. Let yourself vent or find an outlet to release some pent-up frustration. You could have a major epiphany on the yoga mat or your mattress! It takes courage to surrender—and when you do, miraculous solutions will arise, ones you couldn’t see when you were trying so fiercely to control the situation.
