Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon moves into your social sector, harmonizing with your sign and highlighting your finest qualities, dear Aries. This is an excellent time for coming across warmly, and for either communicating your emotions particularly well or connecting with someone emotionally through encouraging words. You can experience a stronger desire for healthy, satisfying exchanges, and you can learn quite a bit from your interactions today. You are both imaginative and grounded, making it a strong time to work on a creative project or work, since either can benefit from this mindset. You are making almost anything sound nice so that presentations can go well now. You might find it exceptionally easy and pleasant to fulfill your duties now.
Taurus
This is a good day for seeing and understanding the patterns or designs behind your projects or possibly in your life, in general, dear Taurus. Ideally, you can find something to do that allows extra room for some creativity and ad lib changes today. There is a much more comfortable ability to communicate your feelings today, although this may only be with a trusted someone or even alone with yourself through more profound thought or journaling. There is a flow happening now that gets you into better touch with what you’ve been feeling and perhaps not genuinely recognizing. You might also be more understanding of others’ deeper emotions, and could be a source of comfort or guidance for a person in your life. It’s an excellent time to bond with family or to find ways to better organize your home life.
Gemini
Influences today boost your ability to connect and see patterns and find solutions to problems, dear Gemini, mainly related to past issues or endeavors. You may be filling in the blanks now, and this is satisfying. It’s an excellent time for projects that benefit from a well-conceived design, as this is where you’re excelling most right now. It can be a powerful day for seeing things more clearly, and any mental tasks undertaken today can benefit from your insight now. You are highly alert to the environment around you, and you can learn a lot from your friends or networks now, or you may be guiding someone. A thoughtful gesture or act can figure strongly now.
Cancer
You can benefit from paying special attention to career, money, and other practical activities today, dear Cancer. The Moon moves into your observant solar eighth house, and you’re inclined to use a “wait and see” approach to your life right now. As well, you can come to a new perspective on an old problem with Mercury in your career sector connecting well with Ceres and Pallas. Your insight into your goals and career or business matters is enhanced now, and communication skills are good despite Mercury’s retrograde. There can be excitement found in new ideas and methods that involve designing or, more likely, redesigning a system, and conversations can lead to fun discoveries.
Leo
You may be turned to for care or guidance today, dear Leo, with Ceres in your sign connecting to Mercury in your sector of higher knowledge. You’re exceptionally responsive to others. There can be something about you that draws others to you, perhaps to confide in you or to seek helpful information. Your approach to others is more diplomatic or gentle, making it natural for people to open up to you. Spontaneity can lead to exciting discoveries. Conversations can quickly become creative and inspiring today, and fortunately, you’re especially sociable today with the Moon’s move into your partnership sector, and you can benefit much from your exchanges now. You also have lovely energy with you for getting ahead with research, work, and health pursuits. An intimate relationship can strengthen.
Virgo
You can come up with fantastic new ideas about familiar things today, dear Virgo. Your ruler, Mercury, which is currently retrograde and turning your attention to the past, is harmonizing with Ceres and Pallas, helping round out your vision of a matter. New ways to approach your health and wellness, and even your business, can come to you now and keep you on your toes in happy ways. You are more alert to subtle details and clues today, and as a result, you are quick to assess situations and gain valuable insight. You could find it easy to communicate your inner thoughts or feelings, or to make important clarifications. You are more invested in what you’re saying or writing today. Somebody could confide in you, or you in them, and you take pleasure in sharing private or personal matters.
Libra
Conversations and thoughts can be particularly useful today, dear Libra, and pleasurable, to boot! You’re likely to have a significant eureka moment now as the pieces of a puzzle come together. Others, and especially a special friend or partner, are unusually open, forthcoming, and sympathetic, making the emotional environment around you conducive to sharing your inner thoughts, guidance, and feelings. Your interactions quickly find you feeling at ease, comfortable, and safe. You might also enjoy showing your support and care for others, and you can feel terrific about putting others at ease. Today and the several days ahead of you are especially suitable for improving and boosting relationships.
Scorpio
You benefit from progressive thinking related to money matters today, dear Scorpio, particularly related to past or old ventures and issues. This can also be a good day for nurturing a business or project, as you’re especially tuned in to the extra touches and details that make something special and satisfying. Work and health can benefit as you see a new side to a story that previously had you stumped. The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart for a couple of days, bringing your attention to your longer-term goals and responsibilities. You’re in a good position to gain an advantage in a learning, creative, or romantic venture today, leading to increased commitment, intensity, and passion.
Sagittarius
This is a strong time for connecting or bonding with someone special through beliefs and ideas, dear Sagittarius. You enjoy increased eagerness in your interactions and warmth in your conversations. There might be positive feedback or encouragement for creative or romantic endeavors now or a fresh perspective on a past relationship or project. Educational matters are especially favored, and a satisfying teaching or learning experience may be part of the picture today. You can use your originality, inventiveness, and creativity in useful ways. While you tend to go your own way on most levels right now, brainstorming can work wonderfully. A significant someone’s thinking is particularly clever and helpful.
Capricorn
The Moon moves out of your sign and into your values sector, dear Capricorn, turning your attention to comfort and security matters. This is a strong day for giving or seeking guidance and feeling better for it. You are especially perceptive right now, particularly about emotions, and opportunities to bond with someone can present themselves. Support through conversation can figure strongly now, even with Mercury still retrograde. It’s a good time for domestic harmony through improved communications. Thinking is smart. You see options where there didn’t seem to be any in the past, mainly related to big goals, career, and money matters. You may be drawing upon past experiences and wisdom to handle the details of the present in creative ways, or your perspective on a previous issue rounds out nicely now.
Aquarius
The Moon moves into your sign today, dear Aquarius, and it’s a time for honoring your emotional and personal needs. Others tend to follow your lead today, noticing you more than usual. While your personal life and feelings are certainly in the foreground now, today is excellent for mental explorations. You can do some wonderfully creative thinking now, in fact, with retrograde Mercury connecting well with major asteroids, encouraging you to see past matters in a fuller, more creative way. Others, especially a partner, can provide useful input, and people around you find it easy to talk to you. Your effectiveness in communicating on a personal level today can help you bond with someone or lead to valuable opportunities. Conveying emotions is smoother and remarkably intelligent right now. It can be an excellent time to put the finishing touches on a project.
Pisces
With the Moon moving into your solar twelfth house for a couple of days, dear Pisces, there is a tendency to want to withdraw or keep to yourself in some way so that you can regenerate and restore your energy banks. You can certainly help others out, but you tend to keep your own problems and concerns to yourself just for the time being. Even so, it can be a strong day for giving some tender loving care to your work, pet projects, or valuables. In fact, thinking can be clever enough for you to find a lost item or solve a problem that previously had you stumped. Work can demand a lot from you, but you can also find it engaging, making it a good day for paying significant attention to special projects. It’s a great time for finding better ways to work or get organized, as well.

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.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
Today’s Elemental Balance
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: 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 April 9th:
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).
