Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday March 5, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Talking about feelings with insensitive friends is never comfortable. Today, their dismissiveness could arouse your anger as tell-all Mercury gets pinged by volcanic Pluto. What’s really going on here? Maybe you’ve been giving a lot lately and you’re annoyed that others aren’t reciprocating. Instead of raging, create a new way of divvying up responsibilities in the future. Before you assume you’re being taken for granted, let people know that you need some acknowledgment. Chances are you’ll get some glowing, even gushing, praise. No shame, Aries. We all need that shiny gold star from time to time!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
It’s great to speak your truth and “do you,” Taurus. But as sassy Mercury flirts with vengeful Pluto, be careful that your teasing doesn’t strike a sour note. There may be a little too much truth behind your jokes, which could leave a person feeling exposed, even ashamed. The office is definitely NOT the right place to “workshop” your rebellious side today. Your social media feeds aren’t appropriate either. If your message is likely to be misinterpreted by the public, then keep it to yourself.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Stay alert, Gemini! As your ruler, mental Mercury, banters with investigative Pluto, information and inspiration could arrive at warp speed. If you’re not on your game, you might miss important cues. Keep a notebook handy or fire up your voice memos—insights could strike in the most unexpected moments. A casual convo or headline might reveal a hidden opportunity, but you’ll need to read between the lines. Ask the right questions, and you could uncover something game-changing.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Is rivalry brewing? As forthright Mercury gets in cahoots with jealous Pluto, a competitive vibe with a friend or colleague could reach a boiling point. Tread lightly: The other person could be feeling threatened and ready to go on the attack. Don’t take the bait. Go in with the goal of building bridges, not burning them. Heed the wise words of Martin Luther King, Jr., who said: “Love is the only force capable of turning an enemy into a friend.”
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Is it time to have “the talk” today? Stress has escalated in an important relationship, and you can’t keep tiptoeing around the problem. With Mercury in your high-minded ninth house getting dinged by shrewd Pluto, you’ll want to approach this like a grownup. Rather than let anyone push your buttons, be firm and unflinching with your boundaries. Take a cue from dog trainers and adopt the “calm-assertive” tone: It’s been known to work with unruly humans! Instead of ping-ponging off each other’s anxiety, you’ll bring the drama down a notch or three.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Drowning in the details? Today’s connection between Mercury and razor-sharp Pluto can help you wrestle them all into something manageable. But first, remind yourself that the world won’t end if you email your client report an hour late (or whatever “small stuff” you’re sweating). And don’t even think about Googling the symptoms of a minor ache! If you have a million great ideas, jot them down, but don’t try to pursue them all at once. Rushing and multitasking will only lead to expensive mistakes. That’s a strong argument for snapping yourself out of this wild-eyed state. Be here now, Virgo.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Mixed signals abound as unfiltered Mercury gets zapped by secretive Pluto today. And it’s not just other people throwing out confusing messages. You’re an open book one second and Fort Knox the next. You could confuse people by drawing them into your lair only to cast them out for making one wrong move. Expecting them to read your mind today, much less pick up on “obvious” hints, is an exercise in futility. Don’t assume anyone will “just know” how you’re feeling. Take the time to patiently explain. By the same token, beware playing psychic with someone in YOUR circle. If you want to know how they’re doing, don’t tell them—ask!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Should you speak up when someone pushes your buttons, or is it better to let it slide? Today’s connection between Mercury and your intense ruler, Pluto, could leave you torn. A relative’s affront may be especially triggering. No surprise—after all, they know your sensitive spots. And since you’re well versed in theirs, it could be even harder to take the high road. Resist the temptation to clap back because your spicy insults could do permanent damage. That doesn’t mean this is over, Scorpio, but you’ll lose power if you try to resolve things under so much heat.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Come up for air, why don’t you, Archer? As Mercury competes for prime time with obsessive Pluto, it’s a wonder how anyone gets a word in edgewise today. When you have the floor, resist the temptation to recount every single detail of your story. Get to the point right away. If you find yourself cornered by an oversharer, you might have to be “rude” and interrupt. You don’t have all day here! Overall, make an effort to tune out distractions. Too much multitasking could lead to a careless error.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Egos and attention-seeking behavior could run rampant today. And under a jarring connection between Mercury and domineering Pluto, that sort of peacocking behavior will read as obnoxious, not entertaining. If the comment on the tip of your tongue feels potentially off-color, do NOT throw caution to the wind and just say it. And should you find yourself on the receiving end of an insensitive remark, shut it down quickly. There’s a fine line between playful banter and hostility. You, like everyone else, deserve to be treated with respect.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday March 5
Pause before you bring up THAT topic, Pisces! Not only are the planets poorly aligned for communication, but you may be dealing with some simmering, unresolved anger. Better to work it through privately than with an innuendo-laden post or a snarky comment. With articulate Mercury in your second house of ethics, it might seem better to voice your discontent. But a ping from vengeful Pluto in your passive-aggressive twelfth house could muddle your message. Blame and finger-pointing could escalate. Save this issue for another day, when you can have a more productive conversation.
