Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon continues in your adventure sector today, dear Aries, and its harmony with Uranus suggests working with change or tension fluidly and successfully. The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart later today, however, encouraging you to pour more heart into your job or responsibilities for a couple of days. A Venus-Saturn trine reinforces a pragmatic approach that works especially well for you now. You get the idea that self-discipline is required to make your exciting and innovative ideas work for you. This is a promising time for attending to essential details, creating budgets or plans, and thinking about priorities. Learning from others’ experience and wisdom may be particularly beneficial. Your view of others, your relationships, business, and money is realistic right now.
Taurus
The Moon continues to tug at your emotions today, dear Taurus, magnifying your need for intimate emotional connections or a stronger sense of purpose with your projects and activities until the afternoon when the Moon enters your exploration sector. After a few days primarily looking within, you’re now seeking spiritual refreshment outside of yourself, which can prompt interesting discoveries. Good energy is with you for harmonizing with someone special today and tomorrow. There can be a sense that you’re reinforced, backed up, or supported for your ideas, opinions, or recent assertions, and this feels great. This is a good time to seriously think about what you value and to prioritize accordingly.
Gemini
The Moon continues to transit your partnership sector until the afternoon, dear Gemini, after which it moves into your private solar eighth house. It’s a relationship-focused day, and feelings are steady or stabilizing. You likely have a lot to think about right now, and this is a good time for processing recent events and emotions. This is also an excellent time for mutual support with a friend or partner. Your inner world is a high draw these days with Venus in your privacy sector, and a Venus-Saturn trine in effect today and tomorrow can point to useful time for reflection or happiness spent with trusted friends. It would also be beneficial to listen to and consider someone’s perspective or advice.
Cancer
The Moon continues to transit your sector of work, service, habits, and health today, dear Cancer, and you’re seeking some order in your life. The Moon’s harmony with Uranus this morning suggests you’re working well with changes or pressures, using them to your advantage to make improvements. Later today, the Moon moves into a more sociable or relationship-focused area of your chart, and your attention turns to companionship or balance. A Venus-Saturn trine suggests a nice feeling of support or reliability in your relationships, as well as an appreciation of tried and true people in your life or projects and pleasures.
Leo
The Moon continues its transit of your romance sector today, dear Leo, and you’re seeking out shared emotional experiences. However, later today, the Moon moves into your work and health sector for a couple of days, and you pour more heart and love into your work and services or health pursuits. There can be a nice feeling of balance or moderation happening now that feels gently encouraging or simply stabilizing after feeling a little on edge in recent days. Today and tomorrow are good for demonstrating your value in the work you do, or your leadership or management skills.
Virgo
The Moon in your family sector connects harmoniously with Uranus this morning, dear Virgo, suggesting you’re rolling with the punches and making improvements and changes to move on. From the afternoon forward (through to Sunday), the Moon spends time in your romance and creativity sector, and you’re seeking out some extra emotional stimulation, in particular through sharing your experiences with others. Even so, lower-key entertainment is favored today as Venus and Saturn connect harmoniously and encourage the appreciation of moderation. You may be getting to a comfortable, happy, and realistic view of a creative project or relationship now.
Libra
Communicating can help ease stress and solutions seem to be in sight if you’ve had a hard time adapting to recent changes, dear Libra, particularly related to partnerships. You’re inclined to keep busy, seek out some company, and talk things out while the Moon continues its transit of your communications sector until the afternoon. However, once the Moon moves into your home and family sector, you’re ready to kick back and enjoy more comfortable, relaxed settings. A Venus-Saturn trine also comes into range, and this reinforces the need for a little more predictability in your life for now.
Scorpio
You can feel positive about and on top of changes related to work, health, or your daily affairs today, dear Scorpio, after perhaps feeling that things were up in the air. You’re well-equipped to handle life even if things seem out of place at the moment. The Moon in your stable solar second house until the afternoon keeps you grounded, after which the Moon transits your communications sector for a few days, kindling your curiosity and stimulating a desire to move, learn, and connect. A Venus-Saturn influence affecting today and tomorrow is useful for sorting out your feelings and for making something work. You have a chance to see relationships more realistically, and possibly also to have a healthy conversation about your expectations, limits, and boundaries.
Sagittarius
The Moon in your sign harmonizes with Uranus this morning, dear Sagittarius, suggesting a real willingness to make things work and go with the flow, even if some elements are up in the air, and this attitude gets you happily through uncertain times. Later today, the Moon moves out of your sign and into your resources sector, and this can act to steady your emotions. Additionally, a Venus-Saturn influence affecting today and tomorrow inclines you to find pleasure in simple things and activities. Complications don’t appeal right now! Look for opportunities to strengthen a relationship or project.
Capricorn
Instead of worrying too much about uncertain or changing circumstances, dear Capricorn, you’re more inclined to trust in the process, possibly by backing off and letting things flow along slowly, which may be best for what’s happening right now. The Moon continues its transit of your privacy sector until this afternoon, and you’re inclined to keep to yourself or do more observing than taking action, after which the Moon enters your sign, and you crave more interaction with the world around you. The Moon stays in Capricorn through Sunday. While this is a lively time for you emotionally, a Venus-Saturn aspect influencing today and tomorrow has a way of steadying your feelings and affections. It also boosts your appeal!
Aquarius
The Moon spends additional time in your friendship sector today (until the afternoon), and you’ll easily find interesting diversions, dear Aquarius. In fact, you might enjoy a conversation with a friend who helps you see a matter more clearly, or simply motivates you to wait things out. Either way, you’re looking ahead positively. The Moon moves into your privacy sector later today, and through to Sunday, you seek out quieter or less emotionally demanding activities and experiences. This is reinforced by a Venus-Saturn trine active today and tomorrow that inclines you to seek traditional comforts. You can find support or a sense of security through someone today, and this kind of reassurance feels good now.
Pisces
You can be feeling positive about making changes related to ownership, money, resources, talents, or business today, dear Pisces. The Moon continues to spend time in your career and responsibility sector today until mid-afternoon but then moves into your social sector, encouraging a transition from setting your sights on performance goals to social or happiness goals. Even so, you’re inclined to keep things moderate and low-key with a Venus-Saturn trine influencing today and tomorrow. Stabilizing energy is brought to your social life. This is a great time to look for ways to lay down some rules, structures, schedules, and routines that help you feel organized and on top of things.

Today’s Elemental Balance

Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
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.
Today’s Modal Balance
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 6th:
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 the Moon 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 lifetime).
