Horoscopes
Aries
The Cancer Moon today highlights your sector of home and family, dear Aries, encouraging you to slow down rather than take new action. This is also important because Venus is only just coming out of a station. Take it easy today, and if possible, spend special time with family or people who you find comforting and familiar. Even so, there is creative, useful energy for practical solutions and for work, and you’re best off applying it to things you truly need to handle. Later today, if you feel the urge to prove yourself, ask yourself if it’s something you truly need to do. If you’re behaving from a place of fear or anger, you may do something regrettable, so aim to sow the seeds of future success by moving above your insecurities.
Taurus
You can begin to feel especially busy now, dear Taurus, and while a good part of you is still in a homebody mood these days, people and circumstances may not allow you the pleasure of peace and quiet! It’s a busy day, and the trick will be to keep your head on straight. It may be a good idea to be active with people you love in order to harness the energy in a satisfying way rather than flitting from one activity to the next. Later today, you can feel a strong need to be recognized for your efforts by the people dearest or closest to you, but others may not be on the same wavelength. Perhaps you feel that when you need them the most, they’re absent or self-absorbed. Ride this out – it’s likely just a brief time of being out of sync.
Gemini
With Mars in your communications sector speeding up your thinking, dear Gemini, there can be times when you are a little too scattered to focus on one thing and tackle it without distraction. Today, however, something can capture your interest and hold it long enough for you to really get into it. It’s a good time to apply your energies to a pet project. There can be special passion and vigor in what you’re doing now. Later today, there may be some passive-aggressive overtones in others that disturb you. Inner restlessness is stirred and it may take you some time to come in touch with what it is that you are craving. However, enjoy conversations and new ideas now.
Cancer
The desire to feel more secure and comfortable is the driver behind a lot of what you do these days, dear Cancer. Today, there can be special motivation and passion about a project or ambition towards this end. A partner may be integral to this, and may have something helpful to contribute. With Venus now moving forward in your resources sector, you’re more able to attract what you need to you. With the Moon in your sign, you have “come alive”, ready to share and connect with others. You have a greater need to feel that you belong and that others need or want you. Later today, you could find an error or an inconsistency that needs correcting, but try not to let this discourage you. Right a wrong and forgive yourself. There is no need to dwell.
Leo
Try to listen to any signals that suggest you may need to take extra time to yourself, for rest, or otherwise slow down and minimize distractions, dear Leo. The Moon is in the sign just behind yours all day, and the need to replenish yourself emotionally before a new cycle begins (tomorrow night). Certainly with Mars in your sign these days it’s rather easy to get you fired up, but there are times like today when you need to recharge. Happily, this is a good day for focus and concentration, particularly from morning to early afternoon. Good energy is with you for helping someone out behind the scenes. You seem to instinctively know when to go for something and when to reel it in. Later today, your intuition may not be serving you as well simply because guilt or fear could be masked as gut feeling.
Virgo
Both Venus and Mars are moving through your privacy sector these days, dear Virgo, but with Venus retrograde in recent weeks, you may have been harder on yourself than is good for you, particularly about the past or matters that you’ve kept to yourself. Now that Venus is moving direct, there’s more balance in this sector, and you’re more inclined to deal with the past and with matters of karma and guilt in a healthier way. Commit to forgiving yourself and taking a more creative and relaxed approach to your life. While a part of you is inclined to want to avoid the real world or escape attention, the Sun in your sign keeps you visible. Pay attention to dreams and daydreams today and tomorrow, as your intuition is trying to tell you something important. However, don’t dwell on guilt or fear.
Libra
Venus and Mars have been traveling through your friendship and group sector recently, dear Libra, but with Venus retrograde here in the past weeks, your approach to others may have been a little harder or less effective than it is now and in the coming weeks. You are now better able to combine charm and assertiveness with others, improving relationships and projects. Today is good for organizing projects and feeling stronger about the future. Later today, watch that inner restlessness doesn’t lead you to overindulge, which can bring upon sluggishness and possibly guilt. If you don’t feel ready to make a decision, you’re probably right to sit on the fence for a while longer.
Scorpio
The Moon in your adventure and learning sector and in harmony to your sign all day feels supportive, dear Scorpio, and you might find it easier than usual to find suitable channels for expressing your emotions. With Venus and Mars in your reputation and responsibility sector in the past weeks, there may have been a lot of energy and desire to perform and achieve. However, your approach to work, business, and others on a professional or public level has not been as warm or charming as it could be while Venus was retrograde. Now that Venus is direct, your approach is more balanced and exceptionally effective. Solutions to practical problems may be totally wild and impractical right now, and yet they seem to work.
Sagittarius
With Venus now direct and spending time in your adventure sector along with Mars, dear Sagittarius, inhibitions are released and you’re more able to go after what you want without too much in the way of obstacles or resistance. Competitive activities tend to fare well for you. It’s also a good time for making friends from many different corners of the world. Later today, try not to stress over actions (or inaction) by those close to you. Recognize that your emotional needs for support are stronger than usual, and not everyone is in sync with this energy. Even so, spirits should be running quite high now as Jupiter, your ruler, forms a parallel aspect with Venus. You’re also coming across very well professionally or with the public.
Capricorn
With Mars and retrograde Venus in your intimacy sector in recent times, dear Capricorn, there may have been moments when you’ve been hard on yourself or an intimate partner, or you could have faced some coolness from people in your personal life. However, now that Venus is direct in this sector, there is more warmth and forgiveness, and possibly some grace as well, in the mix. This can bring very creative and exciting energy to your inner and/or intimate world. Today and tomorrow are especially strong for this. The pace seems to set itself and pressures ease. Relationships are in strong focus now.
Aquarius
In recent weeks, you’ve had Venus and then Mars visiting your partnership sector, dear Aquarius, and this will continue for a while longer. However, Venus has been retrograde recently and now is direct, and this brings greater balance to your relationships with others, and in some way, with yourself. While there may have been a harsh or impatient quality to partnerships recently, now you’re interacting in more creative and warm or spontaneous ways. While conflicts may be quick to flare up, resolutions tend to be speedy as well. Continue to be a little cautious with money until you are seeing things more clearly.
Pisces
Today and tomorrow are strong for developing skills and taking care of little problems, dear Pisces. Today, it’s more about focus and strategy, while tomorrow, it’s about innovative thinking and methods. With Venus now direct and continuing to travel in your work and health sector along with Mars, relationships at the office or in your daily routines can improve considerably. In fact, they may be sizzling for some of you. As well, there is more charm and a balanced approach to your daily life and interactions. You’re less likely to feel impatient with others’ methods or their interference, and more able to work as a team or cooperatively to get things done.

CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 7th:
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).
