Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon moves into your intimacy sector this morning dear Aries, where Mars and Jupiter are currently visiting. You’re in a take-charge period, especially fearless about facing your feelings and acknowledging your desires. The day is good for research and solving problems, although you can be a little more impatient than usual in your enthusiasm to accomplish something. You’re more focused and even determined to tackle issues. Background and detail work can thrive now. Look for ways to boost your projects. Emotions tend to run deeper than usual today, but you’re ready to act on them rather than let them control you.
Taurus
The Moon enters the sign opposite yours this morning, dear Taurus, and aligns with Mars there. This adds impulse and energy to your relationships, and you may want to be active with someone or resolve a relationship problem. Finding a balance can’t be forced, but you can certainly aspire towards it. Showing your gratefulness for the people in your life is favored strongly now, and can significantly improve your relationships. This is not the time to go it alone for most of you. However, for some of you, this energy can play out such that you find your motivation through someone else who inspires and encourages you to pursue your desires now. You might also enjoy going the extra mile to help someone out.
Gemini
The need to bring some order to your environment kicks in this morning as the Moon heads into your work and health sector, dear Gemini. You’ll find it quite natural to focus and concentrate. Plus, you’re energized and motivated, and this makes all the difference. It’s a good time for organizing, research, health pursuits and appointments, and generally getting to the bottom of things. You’re a little impatient, but it may very well be that you need to push yourself to get on with things, after which you pour a whole lot of yourself into whatever it is you’re doing. If you’ve been procrastinating, today is great for picking up the slack.
Cancer
The Moon moves into your pleasure and entertainment sector this morning, dear Cancer, meeting Mars who is already a guest in this area of your solar chart. With this combination, you’ll feel compelled to take the initiative and express yourself, stand out in some manner, or pursue pleasures more heartily. Look for reasons to take a healthy escape from serious business. There can be considerable enthusiasm for an idea or project now as you’re feeling especially alive and motivated. Mars here can help light a fire under you to explore your creative impulses and instincts. The creative flow is smooth today, although possibly a little rushed, and it’s likely through your interactions with others that you find the most inspiration.
Leo
Once the Moon moves into your home and family sector this morning, dear Leo, you take particular interest in your home or personal life. This can be a time of bringing more excitement to the plain or ordinary elements of your personal environment as the Moon meets up with Mars, a current guest in this area of your solar chart. Doing something useful around the home can fill an emotional need today. While you crave comfort and familiarity, you also crave action. If you’ve been experiencing stress, you’ll need to release it now. There is good energy for asserting your needs and wants with family, mainly because you are more aware of precisely what’s bothering you, but care should be taken when doing so. Tact and timing will be critical now.
Virgo
The Moon moves into your communications sector this morning, dear Virgo, and meets Mars there this afternoon, inspiring a need for more excitement in your daily affairs or a desire to express your opinion and state your case. This is a good day for pouring energy into your personal interests and projects. You might find yourself impatient with people who are not getting to a point promptly or who seem to be in your way since you seem to be moving (or want to move) more quickly than others now. While you’re inclined to want to keep busy today, as the day advances, you’re also interested in focusing your attention on priorities.
Libra
The Moon moves out of your sign and into your solar second house this morning, dear Libra, and your mental orientation is practical. The Moon meets warrior Mars in this area of your chart, and this can motivate you to take care of business, acquire something new, or assert yourself in a relationship. It’s a good time to see what needs improving and assessing areas of waste in your life. However, try not to overdo the impulsiveness of this Moon-Mars connection. Seek physical and constructive outlets for excess energy, and avoid eating and shopping when you’re all worked up! There is a tendency to calm down as the day advances and to want to sort out longer-term plans and strategies.
Scorpio
The Moon enters your sign this morning, dear Scorpio, after spending a couple of days in your privacy sector. While you are not afraid of the kind of anonymity and solitude of the previous transit, this move today can feel energizing. You now feel that you’ve had your fill of seclusion and you’re craving acknowledgment for your feelings or a better connection to the world around you. The Moon meets Mars in your sign today, and this suggests a need for action. This aspect can prompt you to speak out forthrightly about a matter, or it can encourage spontaneous activities. Rash moves may end up causing you difficulty in the long run, but answering a call to action may be precisely what you need at the moment!
Sagittarius
The Moon moves into your privacy zone this morning, dear Sagittarius, and this signals a greater need to take some cover, get extra rest or time alone, and take a break from stressful or competitive activities. Even so, Mars is in this same zone of your solar chart, suggesting that it’s not super easy to just chill out. In fact, your private life, or your inner world, is active, and perhaps in a hyper way at times. You may be quite happy working in the background in some manner today as it gives you the opportunity to get more done. For some of you, you may feel driven to put your past behind you, and this is a time for gaining the courage to do so, or for feeling so impatient with a problem that you can’t stand it anymore and take action!
Capricorn
This is a day when you feel compelled to follow your instincts, dear Capricorn, as the Moon and Mars join forces, and it’s particularly the case with friends or regarding happiness goals or causes you feel strongly about. This inner confidence becomes you right now. Some of you can be seeking a more active involvement with a project or purpose. You are more aware of the things that you can offer to the world and excited about sharing. Personal ambition increases today. Community-oriented or group activities can thrive. This can be a strong day for relationships and personal appeal.
Aquarius
The Moon moves into your reputation and career sector this morning, dear Aquarius, and meets Mars there this afternoon. This aspect can set a fire under you to resolve problems or get going on an ambitious project. You’re not in the mood to hedge or waffle or to deal with people who are doing so, as you want to get to the bottom of a matter. You can be a little impatient now, and in moderation, this can help you get on with things. Of course, too much of this can turn against you, and it makes sense for you to channel excess energy and increased courage intelligently. You have a solid understanding of your priorities today.
Pisces
The Moon moves into cooperative position with your sign this morning, dear Pisces, and encourages you to look forward to new plans and projects rather than worry too much about the intricacies and problems of the present. The Moon meets Mars in your adventure sector today, inspiring you to go somewhere or learn something new. Your desire to explore new ideas and experience new activities increases and you’re bolder than usual. You’re more confident about pursuing your interests today. As the day advances, you’re thinking a little more seriously about the future and planning ahead. Making lists or having constructive conversations can help you clarify your goals and strategies.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
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.
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
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 (EST) on December 13th:
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).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN SCORPIO
