Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Venus in your solar second house harmonizing with Saturn today helps you see your means, resources, and relationships in a realistic light, dear Aries. You have a little more faith in your understanding of these matters now. You’re less interested in immediate gratification and more concerned about what benefits you in the long term today, and, even if it means putting off personal pleasures, you are willing to do so to secure your future. Self-discipline is required to make your innovative ideas work for you, and you seem to have that on your side. Instinctively knowing your priorities is part of this, and you’re in especially good shape to enjoy good advice or support from others. There can be traditional and wise information coming your way.
Taurus
Venus forms a trine to Saturn today, dear Taurus, and presents you with an excellent time to strengthen your relationships. Venus is currently in your sign, to boot! You’ll find it easy and straightforward — and perhaps quite rewarding as well — to express your responsible side. This is a time for getting favorable reviews. You might establish yourself with someone special or with many others through publications or advances in your field, for example. Others are backing you up. Your negotiation skills are above par now, and you aim to see eye to eye with others and to remain sincere and honest at the same time. Others may be appreciating you for your reliability, experience, or wisdom. Priorities are more apparent today, and you’re able to make a realistic assessment of your capabilities such that you take on no more and no fewer endeavors than you need. Balancing and moderating things makes good sense today.
Gemini
This can be a time when you’re especially happy spending time alone or with trusted friends or family, dear Gemini. If a relationship can do with some “maintenance,” this is a good time for showing you care. Bonding with someone can happen today based on support and reliability. There is easy energy with you today for working alongside others with few demands on your time or resources. It’s a good time for getting practical things done, particularly with others’ help or encouragement. You might decide to give up a personal pleasure to gain something more significant to you in the long term. Coming to someone’s aid or support might figure strongly now. Some level of solitude or privacy can be helpful and rewarding. You appreciate those things with long-term value, as well as people with whom you feel comfortable. You see the beauty of age and experience now.
Cancer
Venus and Saturn form a trine today, dear Cancer, and bonding with others can be satisfying now. Showing affection in practical ways can be in focus now. This is a good time to connect with reliable or long-time friends and partners. You’re really feeling the need for authenticity with others, and there’s easy energy with you now for working alongside others with few demands on your time or resources. Simply “being there” can be enough to strengthen a bond with someone. You’re finding it more comfortable than usual to spend time with others and appreciate the simple things about your established relationships. People see you in a favorable light and value your company.
Leo
Today’s energies support conservative rather than bold moves with a Venus-Saturn trine, dear Leo. Venus is currently found at the top of your solar chart, and you’re in a more prominent and charming position on professional or public levels. Today, Venus connects with Saturn, and you find it more comfortable than usual to perform well. You’re simply doing things right, and your efforts don’t go unnoticed. You are likely enjoying your work, and it shows in what you do. What’s cemented now may last a long time, so it’s best not to take commitments lightly today. You’re willing to give up immediate pleasures to ensure a long win, and this strategy works well for you now. Shows of affection through simple gestures can go over especially well. There can be real benefits to considering others’ input or advice or healing rifts, particularly related to your work or business.
Virgo
With a Venus-Saturn trine today, it’s a good time for feeling safe, structured, and confident enough to explore your creativity, dear Virgo. You could be working hard on something creative and expressive, adding important details or getting technical aspects just right. Relationships seem to be supportive rather than competitive, which helps you get things done. Your view of a creative matter, project, or a relationship is a little more realistic and less pressured. You may be dividing your time well between work and pleasure, and it can be a great time for teaching, learning, and making valuable connections. The Moon aligns with Mars and Saturn, reminding you of your alliances and responsibilities.
Libra
A Venus-Saturn trine is exact today, dear Libra, and you can take pleasure in simple things, as well as in fulfilling your duties or responsibilities. It’s a good time to get comfortable with family or other people you trust. Your dedication is appreciated in turn. You are seeking out long-term benefits rather than quick pleasures, and this strategy works especially well for you right now with all of this Capricorn/Saturn energy with us. You’re willing to put in the effort to make relationships work, and you’re prepared to enjoy people and your current setup for what they are rather than seeking an idealized image. This is a time for recognizing and loving others’ flaws as well as your own. Any efforts invested in strengthening, maintaining, and building your connections can have long-lasting effects, and with your work or projects, time spent now can be rewarding, as well.
Scorpio
You get the chance to see people in your life or your relationships more realistically today, dear Scorpio, and this can be valuable, as you’re not fighting it and instead feel empowered as a result. You might have a healthy conversation about your expectations, limits, and boundaries, or simply come to a better understanding of these things. You are speaking more effectively these days, and others are receiving you well. You are graceful with your responsibilities now, and you don’t waste time on things that distract you from the task at hand. Others’ respect bolsters your sense of being appreciated and is certainly motivating, but most important is how you feel about yourself since doing what you think is right strengthens you now. Prioritizing comes naturally you today, both in your daily affairs and in your relationships.
Sagittarius
Having others’ cooperation or support, or not worrying too much about imbalances in your relationships, can free you up beautifully today, dear Sagittarius, and you can be wonderfully productive. You are finding increased enjoyment in the simple life today with a Venus-Saturn aspect in the practical sectors of your solar chart and a stronger emphasis on your resources sector. The energies of the day are on the conservative side, but not in a stifling way, as you feel that you can grow within the structures. Traditional methods seem to work best right now, and you see opportunities realistically. It’s a good time to strengthen things by defining, detailing, and structuring them so that they can withstand pressure at a later date. Sacrificing a pleasure may be part of the picture, but you’re doing it for a worthy cause or long-term benefits, so it feels just fine. Better relations on the job can also benefit you now, or you feel more secure in what you’re doing.
Capricorn
Saturn transiting your sign is not all about limits and blockages, dear Capricorn, and today’s Venus-Saturn transit is likely to prove that to you. You are learning to see yourself and the world around you in a more realistic light, and this is empowering as you reduce guilty feelings and disappointments. It can be a fantastic time for recognizing the benefits of your organizing efforts. Others find you even more attractive and appealing than usual, particularly for your wisdom or maturity. You tend to prefer spending time with trusted friends or family or attending to your most important projects. The Moon spends the day in your sign, boosting your visibility further. People are taking note, and your plans are on the front burner.
Aquarius
Venus and Saturn form a trine today, dear Aquarius, and the best way to harness this positive energy is to work on simplifying an area of your life. This can be your physical home since Venus is currently transiting your home and family sector, but it can also point to working on your inner world, feelings, fears, and worries. Tangible efforts put into securing your life just a little more can pay off now. It’s a great time for cracking down on something important to you and laying down some rules, structures, and goals that strengthen your life in crucial ways. You might want to consider ways to clear up unfinished emotional business. Today’s energies are great for showing others you care through simple gestures, as well as for teaming up to get something done. You’ll want to stay on top of things now.
Pisces
Today’s energies help you put your more innovative ideas into action, dear Pisces. You could be involved in laying down some rules, structures, schedules, and routines that help you feel organized and on top of things, and with Venus and Saturn in happy agreement, you may very well enjoy the process! You’re in good shape for teamwork, coming to agreements, and putting in extra effort to strengthen a project or friendship. You might instead discover a person or group that encourages you to pursue an idea or interest to your benefit, or who understands and reinforces you. You can be valued for your contributions and dedication or work ethic. You might discover that you can totally be yourself and do your thing even as you follow some rules, and your work, communications, and studies can benefit greatly now.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
Today’s Elemental Balance
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. 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.
Today’s Modal Balance
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
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 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 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).
