Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You’re quick to take the initiative today, dear Aries. Brilliant ideas are easy to come by now. You may very well make some startling revelations and new connections. Willpower is very strong, and so is vitality, so do what you can to figure out where to direct these things for best rewards. A breakthrough of sorts can come today. Educational and travel plans may hold some excitement, and good news is likely. While you’re brave, spontaneous, and ready to put an old habit, way, or attitude behind you, you’re also in good shape for determined, deliberate efforts. Business benefits from using strategy in your planning. For those who are deciding or questioning, you stand to gain new insight regarding your career or true calling or path. Being productive and taking care of business continues to turn up your pride.
Taurus
Excellent energy is with you today for breakthroughs, dear Taurus, particularly on emotional levels. You’re in great shape for making creative changes and discoveries as well as experimenting with new possibilities. Advances are likely to be of an emotional, private nature. You march to the beat of your own drummer today, and you totally get away with it! You seem to be operating under the radar in some manner, and it works for the best right now. Surprising opportunities or offers might come your way, so stay alert for them. The atmosphere is ripe for putting the limitations of the past behind you. Strengthening relationships can be in focus for some of you. It’s a good time for revitalizing a friendship or for discovering new ways to approach people that inspire trust and understanding. There can be interesting connections made, or you might bump into an old friend. Whether you’re attracting new people in your life or bonding with existing friends, this is a good time to connect and share.
Gemini
Great energy for work is with you today, but you are also raring to go on a social level, dear Gemini. The desire now is to truly live life, to feel alive and vital, through other special people. Good fortune might come your way. Whether it’s about good karma or a winning mental attitude, it’s time to enjoy yourself. Keep your ears perked for possible good news, promotions, or other fun stuff. Activities with people you care about can improve your mood. Your courage to face tricky matters is notable now. More patience is at your disposal, and you can be expressing your confidence in what you have to offer on a professional level. If you can benefit from doing some research and general digging for answers, it’s a good time for it.
Cancer
Excellent energy is with you for zipping through your work, dear Cancer, possibly adopting a fresh new approach to it. It’s amazing how good feelings and something to look forward to can work wonders for your productivity. Thinking outside of the box is essential now on all practical matters. You’re in a progressive and inventive frame of mind, and you might also experience bursts of energy that help you pursue health goals. Nevertheless, you can make some beautiful advances in studies and with your relationships. Thoughts turn to larger matters, and new worlds are opening up to you as you expand your mind, opening up to different schools of thought. You are bound to experience entirely new viewpoints and perspectives through your interactions with others who introduce you to new interests, or who help reignite old ones.
Leo
An excellent day for love and creative energy is a strong potential, dear Leo, with Mars and Uranus in sister Fire signs and harmonizing. You are coming across wonderfully and finding it easy to express yourself. It’s a day for personal influence and clout. Your attitude is forward-looking, and you’re in a good position to put a negative element of your life behind you. You might also have the opportunity to strengthen or repair relationships through a better understanding of power dynamics. You could find that you’re drawn to activities that test and prove your strength, particularly when it comes to your health and work. While you’re equipped to take on challenges now, it’s also a fine time for deepening your understanding or your sense of purpose. It may be worthwhile to pool your resources or combine talents to get something done now.
Virgo
This is a great time to put energy and thought into improving your home life, dear Virgo. You’ll find progressive ways to make changes that benefit you or leave you feeling more confident and content. You possess the right energy and true courage to deal with a domestic or personal matter head-on. You’re also in a good position to improve or repair relationships. This is a time when some details that were previously unknown begin to fill in, and you are in a better place to make judgment calls. The agendas of others in your life tend to be ahead of yours these days, and it’s a good time for honoring your close relationships and making an extra effort to reach agreements. Applying yourself to artistic or other creative pursuits and hobbies can be fulfilling as well. The overriding theme today is about positive change and improvement.
Libra
Solving problems, particularly of the intellectual or mechanical variety, is more comfortable than usual today, dear Libra, which can come as a relief after some blockages. You have a wonderful way of inspiring, charming, and educating others all at once. Partnerships and friendships benefit from a progressive, direct, hands-on, and active approach. As well today, a Sun-Pluto aspect subtly boosts your work and home pursuits. You might channel your energies into a project around the home, set up a home office, or work on improving a self-care or health program. It’s a good time for finding something lost or for seeing an issue in a whole new way that empowers instead of overwhelms you. This is a time for getting to the bottom of things.
Scorpio
Matters of the heart can inspire you or put an extra spring in your step today, dear Scorpio. You are feeling appreciated and even admired now. Additionally, money matters are strong as you are thinking outside of the box and coming up with innovative yet practical strategies. Work and physical or health routines are easier to manage with your winning attitude and bursts of confidence, energy, and motivation. Or, you become inspired to take progressive action on a practical matter. Very little intimidates you today! Sound energy is with you for inventive ideas and methods, particularly about making money or getting your work done more efficiently. Motivation to work hard at learning, creative, or mental tasks can bring rewards down the road. It’s a great time to focus on something that you take particular pride in.
Sagittarius
Others are seeing you as the unique and vital person that you are today, dear Sagittarius, with Mars in your sign connecting with Uranus in your sector of heartfelt pursuits. Others are in awe now! An invitation might arrive for entertainment that you can’t turn down. Your aura is electric, in a pleasing way, and any creative stump you may have been in is in the past. Also today, a Sun-Pluto aspect is strong for examining spending and saving habits, and especially for looking for redundancies. Finding ways to improve your life, particularly in your home or with money, can be in focus now. Small changes made now will bring great rewards down the road. There is still some tendency to put your foot in your mouth or to remain on the fence about something as your ruler, Jupiter, challenges Mercury.
Capricorn
A pleasant break from the past in some manner can be part of the picture today, dear Capricorn, and give you a nice little boost. You’re bold when it comes to dealing with emotional matters and regarding getting rid of things or even attitudes that are cluttering up your life. Consider things that you can do, even if they’re merely symbolic, to feel that you’re turning over a new leaf. A Sun-Pluto aspect today is strong for communicating well and gaining some understanding from others. It’s quite fabulous for editing, researching, and making small but powerful changes. Your ideas are well-received, and you can be especially persuasive. It’s a good time for pitching an idea or simply having a conversation that means a lot to you.
Aquarius
Overall, it’s a feel-good day for you, dear Aquarius. Your social life can be abuzz or new discoveries about a friend or group member can surface now. You’re inspired by an action or idea, and you’re ready to put a plan in motion. You tend to forget your inhibitions just a little today — enough to get over a hump or do something you’ve put off in the past. Your attitude is very forward-looking now. You are less interested in the details than you are the overall effect of any particular plan. Channeling restless or frustrated energy into positive activities comes naturally. There can be exciting insights into your social life or the reawakening of an old interest. You’re also in a good position to draw up plans and strategies, particularly regarding money and business matters. It’s a good time to “birth” new business ideas. The Moon does remain in the sign behind yours, though, and you may keep a low profile or you can benefit from some extra time to yourself.
Pisces
You are brimming with energy today, dear Pisces. You have a way of getting through any challenge through the sheer power of determination. It’s a strong day for finishing up work that was left unfinished, or for presenting an idea for which you’re seeking positive feedback. You can be feeling freer, more optimistic, and more inclined to take the lead, particularly regarding your business or practical affairs. You’re also in a strong position to feel inner power. Energies active today remind you of the need to focus from time to time rather than scattering your energies. Small changes made now can impact the future in significant ways. Friendships, causes, or shared personal goals can be the glue that helps hold everything together now.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
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.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
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 March 11th:
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).
