How to use today's sky
The Moon moves through a sign in two or three days, and astrologers read it first for the tone of a day. Mercury, Venus and Mars set the tone for days or weeks. Jupiter and Saturn set it for a year or more, and Uranus, Neptune and Pluto for many years. A planet that has just entered a sign or has just turned direct tends to be read as starting something new.
Planets mean more against your own birth chart. Today's Mars in your chart's 7th house reads very differently from the same Mars in your 10th, which is why sign horoscopes count houses from your Sun sign and a birth chart counts them from your rising sign.
Today's balance of elements and modes
Astrologers often count how many planets stand in each element and mode. A sky heavy in one colours the day, whatever your sign.
Elements: Fire 5, Earth 0, Air 3, Water 2. Modes: Cardinal 3, Fixed 6, Mutable 1.
