Horoscopes
Aries
Even though energy is far from ideal for clear decision making today, dear Aries, you should be in a friendly mood. There can be a sidetracking or delay-producing situation on the job, or a minor health matter that interferes with productivity. Fortunately, a positive attitude and the determination to not let the little things get you down will save the day. As well, a Solar Eclipse will occur in two days and will bring strong “take charge” energy for work and health matters, rendering small problems experienced today insignificant in the long run. Think in terms of adjustments rather than new beginnings right now – there is plenty of time for the latter coming soon.
Taurus
Avoid wild extremes, particularly in your social life, dear Taurus. Others can put you on a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but only if you accept the ticket to get on – and you don’t have to. It can be difficult to trust or put your complete faith into someone right now, and probably advisable not to. Don’t jump ship or jump into something new quite yet, as you can be missing key information that would lead to a good, strong decision. If someone is pushy with you, they might lead you in the opposite direction. Be helpful and productive, and if challenged, be in control of how you respond. The day’s energies can also stimulate a nice feeling of creative purposefulness regardless of some small tensions. In just two days, a Solar Eclipse will occur in your creative and romantic solar fifth house, and a romance, creative project, or hobby may very well turn a corner.
Gemini
Life is settling in for you these days, dear Gemini, or at least you’re feeling the need for more quiet and predictability. Avoid locking horns with people who frustrate you later today. It’s best to observe and form a strategy for dealing with tricky situations, although a perhaps a little hard to carry out. Even so, any vulnerabilities triggered or nerves touched, with some self-awareness, can turn a difficult situation around, so pay attention. There is more self-protectiveness these days with a growing emphasis on your sector of home and family, signaling a need to comfort and nurture yourself, and this can also mean that you’re taking confusing social situations more to heart. Keep in mind that this awkwardness will blow over. In just two days, a Solar Eclipse will occur in this same sector, and you’ll begin to feel more in charge of your domestic world.
Cancer
Decisions are not easy to come by today, dear Cancer, particularly if something you counted on is now revealed to be a no-go. Studies or classes may not go as planned. Focus less on delays or apparent setbacks, and try to take things in stride. Changes in plans and delays tend to lead to new doors opening, after all. Patience is required right now. Later today, circumstances can almost seem to be riling you up or pulling out buried frustration, particularly in communications. Something that’s said can get to you. Even so, you’re also especially open to learning about why certain things are pushing your buttons, and this can bring an emotional release of sorts. In just two days, a Solar Eclipse will occur in your communications sector, launching an important period for learning and connecting, making today and tomorrow good for considering ways you can make improvements.
Leo
You can feel at odds with an important person in your life, dear Leo, as if you are just a little out of pace with one another. You may feel confined or restricted without really knowing why, and this can leave you feeling restless. Different core values can be glaring now, even if you typically overlook them. If you need to clear the air, then do so, but keep in mind that you are especially sensitive today, and that approaching tricky matters usually works out better when tackled from a place of calm and confidence. Others could question or doubt you temporarily. Tricky money issues or questions of ownership and power can reach a head now. Use the energy of the Moon in your solar second house from this morning forward positively with earthy activities that help ground you, as these are the most healing and satisfying now.
Virgo
There can be an important change in a relationship, dear Virgo, but you are not at your decision-making best today. Watch for hypersensitivity to friends’ reactions and comments today. You could be suffering from a temporary loss of faith in someone, or entertaining some doubts about a relationship. However, whatever happens between a partner or good friend today may very well lead to an important learning experience. With the Sun in your sign in opposition to Chiron, no matter how hard you argue, you may be only fighting yourself and your own vulnerability, as anger is a defense mechanism used so that we don’t have to feel hurt or rejection. The Moon’s move into your sign brings unacknowledged feelings to the surface, and its alignment with Jupiter can point to an important, cathartic emotional release.
Libra
Guilt can get in the way of healthy relating and of clear decision making today, dear Libra. A change of events or an interaction with someone can throw you off center, remind you of the past, or leave you feeling insecure. It’s a temporary issue, so try not to take things to heart. As well, consider that you may not have all the information to make a healthy decision right now, particularly regarding something from the past and about work or health matters. You could experience feelings of doubt or a desire to test someone’s trustworthiness, but it’s important to remember that once a certain line is crossed, it’s very difficult to come back. With the Moon entering your privacy sector this morning and a Solar Eclipse occurring in the same sector of your solar chart in just two days, look for ways to release pent up frustrations.
Scorpio
Be careful not to over-commit yourself today, dear Scorpio. Worries about your love or social life can eat away at your self-confidence, thereby seeping into other areas of life as well. There may be a doubt raised about a friend or lover. Feelings can be intense, but there can be insecurities involved. You might feel driven to express your deeper feelings creatively or artistically, and this would be a good way to channel frustrations or anger, by creating something stirring. If you can find a way to enjoy a creative escape from stress, it would be most helpful. While there can be some temporary confusion, in just two days a Solar Eclipse will occur in your sector of friends and vision. This can help you to wipe the slate clean with someone, if need be, and start fresh. For now, focus on sorting through odds and ends in the world of emotions so that you can better know yourself and your heart’s desire.
Sagittarius
You could be dealing with some rough edges today, dear Sagittarius, although good humor in general can help you to realign yourself in order to feel in sync with circumstances and the people around you. Nevertheless, pressures are impossible to entirely ignore. Adjustments may be necessary when it comes to expectations of family or career. Issues that you may have thought were ancient history might surface, but while you shouldn’t let them dictate your behavior, you shouldn’t ignore them either. In fact, if they are resurfacing or popping up unexpectedly, they’re exactly what you need to face or deal with. In just two days, a Solar Eclipse will occur in your career and direction sector, so getting things together now makes a whole lot of sense. The eclipse can serve as a nudge towards a solider life plan.
Capricorn
Concerns about your performance or insecurities can prevent you from straying too far from your routine today, dear Capricorn, yet you instinctively need to get away from it all. This predicament can stir up a whole lot of restlessness today. You might also be struggling with a decision and having a hard time believing or putting your faith into someone. Don’t push for an answer, as it (or you) may not be ready. Even so, if something that’s said really touches a nerve today, don’t ignore it. You’re in a great position to learn from your areas of vulnerability. In just two days, a Solar Eclipse will occur in your solar ninth house, and with Jupiter in the same sector for the coming year, it’s a time of nice opportunities to learn, explore, discover, and share, and possibly publish for some of you. As such, dealing with fears and insecurities now makes a lot of sense so that you don’t let these opportunities pass you by.
Aquarius
You can be unsure today about whether you can trust your instincts or communicate effectively about a personal matter, dear Aquarius. Your faith in others can also be out of step right now. You and a partner may not be seeing eye to eye, or there is a missed connection. Try not to allow misunderstandings to negatively impact your day, as there is a lot to love about the day, particularly as you have a chance to release some pent up frustrations. This is important “work” with a Solar Eclipse occurring in your sector of intimacy and transformation in just two days. Worries can surface now about your earning power, so make it your goal that you gain a stronger sense of what you are capable of earning and work on issues of worth. You’ll have a solid chance for starting fresh and leaving behind attitudes that are interfering with your happiness.
Pisces
Try not to worry if you and a partner or special someone seem to be clashing or there is a missed connection, dear Pisces. You could be feeling temporarily out of step, and this should not be blown out of proportion. Let things untangle naturally. You are not always tuned into one another, whether it’s a friend or lover or business partner, and you shouldn’t expect to be, either. Work on making adjustments rather than letting worry eat you up. You seem to need more moments to yourself than usual to regroup, and with a Solar Eclipse occurring in your partnership sector in just two days, it’s a good idea to take that time to get to know what you need and want.

We want to do good and to honor our inner code. We are generous with our energy, time, and money. Our feelings expand or are magnified, for better or for worse. It’s generally a good time to teach, learn, write, express ourselves, reach out, travel, publish, and promote. We may go over the top.

VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.

We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 11th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
