Love
Relationships are not where the Moon is pointing today. Nothing is wrong; the attention is simply elsewhere.

Cancer today
The Moon is in Libra at 10.1°, waxing crescent, 5% illuminated — putting it in your 4th house of home and family.
The Moon is at odds with your sign today. Friction is likely — not disaster, but effort. Push at what resists and it will move.
A waxing crescent favours building on something already started.
Because the Moon sits in Libra and you are Cancer, today's emphasis falls on the household, roots and private life. That is where the day is most likely to ask something of you.
Today by area
Work
Work is off the Moon's path today. Routine tasks will feel routine, which is not the worst outcome.
Money
No lunar emphasis on money today. A neutral day for financial decisions rather than a bad one.
Which area is emphasised is not chosen — it follows from the house. Counting your own sign as the first house, the Moon in Libra lands in your 4th, and that house governs home and family.

Almost every daily horoscope online is written weeks ahead and rotated on a schedule. Nothing in it changes when the sky does, which is a strange property for something claiming to describe the sky.
This one is computed in three steps. First the Moon's position today. Then the angle between that position and your sign, which gives an aspect — conjunction, trine, square and so on. Then the house that position falls in relative to you, which gives the area of life.
All three are checkable. The Moon's phase and sign are published in any astronomical almanac; if our figures disagree with those, we are wrong.
The Moon's position uses mean motion, accurate to roughly half a day at sign boundaries. Fine for a daily reading, not precise enough for a natal chart.
What a sun-sign horoscope cannot do
The Moon is in the same sign for everyone on Earth today. Twelve readings for eight billion people is not a personal forecast, and no honest version of one can be — a real forecast would need your birth time and place, not just your month.
What this is: a note on the general weather, and a prompt to check how you are actually doing. Read it that way and it costs you nothing. Read it as instructions and you have handed your decisions to a rock 384,000 kilometres away.
If you want the version that is actually about you, a birth chart is the place to start — it needs your time of birth, and it will tell you considerably more than your month does.
