Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Moon continues to transit the sign just behind yours today, dear Aries, and you’re in need of some time to reflect and rest. A New Moon will occur in this area of your chart tomorrow not long before the Moon moves into your sign, and you have a stronger than usual link to your intuition. Today is solid for clarifying a relationship or creative matter. Connections may be made to people or information who/that help you get in touch with your creative muse. This can also be a significant time for new information about a child, lover, or creative project. You can feel especially inspired now. There can be a sense of renewal regarding your feelings about a matter or a better understanding of your dreams.
Taurus
A Mercury-Node connection today inspires you, dear Taurus, and you can have great ideas for making living arrangements or family life more supportive and pleasant. Family projects or discussions can have significance now. Conversations may very well lead to important discoveries about yourself and the people you love today. Keep in mind that the Moon is Balsamic, and this suggests that winding down or tying up loose ends makes better sense than trying to move new projects or ventures forward. Today and tomorrow, you find it natural to connect with your dreams and ideals.
Gemini
A positive emotional orientation today, dear Gemini, helps you stay alert to possible opportunities to advance your interests that may arise with Mercury and the North Node in harmony. It’s a good time for making connections. Alternatively, it can benefit you greatly to keep your ear to the ground as there can be the inspiration for new ideas, dreams, and goals incoming through news you hear or people you meet. In fact, interactions today can be intense but revealing, and getting to the bottom of a matter is important now. You are highly visible today, and others may expect you to take the lead.
Cancer
This is the day before a New Moon, dear Cancer, and time set aside for reflection can be particularly valuable now. Even so, a Mercury-Node trine suggests you might make some meaningful connections now, and this can be to people and/or information. You have a strong desire to know that your future is relatively secure and that achieving your goals will satisfy you in the long run. You might connect with the right people or information who/that support your income, financial position, or current business interests. You are also in a uniquely creative or romantic period, and you have loads of compassion to share with others today.
Leo
Today’s energies support communicating in warm, positive ways, dear Leo. While the Moon spends the day in your introspective solar eighth house, there can be news or incoming information about courses and opportunities that are likely to benefit you, so tune in to the rest of the world from time to time! You’ll get the chance to show others that you can take charge and handle things maturely. You are especially protective of people you care about today and might show your affection through your guidance or instruction. As well your research and detective modes are working especially sharply today.
Virgo
This is a day for benefiting from being especially observant, dear Virgo, even though the Balsamic Moon also encourages you to wind down. You might make a useful connection with someone through a heart-to-heart or through lending an ear. Certain conversations and connections deserve your undivided attention today. A discussion about private issues, a secret, or a matter of the past can be significant and perhaps even liberating on some level. Your cooperative, helpful nature comes shining through, making it natural for others to acknowledge your efforts. Even so, there can be a chance for a new beginning with a relationship with tomorrow’s New Moon, and sometimes this comes out of a relationship challenge.
Libra
While the Balsamic Moon today supports some level of introspection, dear Libra, you’re very capable of being around others and learning something valuable by observation. Relationships seem to support your growth, and this feels good. A Mercury-North Node trine today points to clarity through such things as a renewed or second-chance conversation or a chance meeting with a friend. You may very well stumble upon some information that supports the development of a friendship or a feeling of belonging. Intuition or gut feelings tend to be correct today, particularly related to work, health, and capabilities. It’s not the time to push a new venture forward, but tomorrow’s New Moon will help clear the path for doing so next week.
Scorpio
Today can bring you the right information at the right time, particularly related to work, dear Scorpio. A Mercury-North Node influence today helps connect you with people or information that further your career or health goals, and your inclination to include others and network helps you even more than first meets the eye. This can be a time for gaining increased clarity about a life-path goal, project, or job that feels like growth and improvement. The Moon in your creative sector brings added light to your personality. This is a good day for relaxing recreation or other forms of rejuvenation.
Sagittarius
There is good energy with you today for creative ideas and useful information coming your way, dear Sagittarius. Even so, there is a powerfully introspective feel to the day, and you can benefit significantly from winding down and connecting with your intuition. Keeping some lines of communication open with others makes sense as there are valuable things to learn. There can be an exciting connection made with information or a person that illuminates your way on a creative, educational, or romantic pursuit. You remain in a mode of processing — your goals will become more evident as you go along. For now, enjoy the quiet and the good feelings.
Capricorn
Connections to people who help you feel comfortable or who have a reassuring effect on you may be made today, dear Capricorn. Alternatively, connections with current friends or acquaintances can improve, particularly through conversations or kind words. Today is excellent for sharing ideas with others. There can be connections made that help further home and family-related goals today, and links can be with people or information that point you in the right direction. Pleasant exchanges are likely now, and the day is valuable for lifting spirits and contributing to a sense of overall well-being. The Moon is Balsamic today, and it’s better to wind down and relax than to wind yourself up or push your plans forward.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your stable solar second house, dear Aquarius. Nevertheless, the energies of the day put you in a great position to learn something exciting or valuable about a friendship or cherished project, so be sure to keep up — or open up — the lines of communication with others. You may feel that a relationship is blossoming or that you’re contributing more to a relationship, and it feels good to do so. You may be thinking about ways to improve your income or to enjoy and make full use of what you have. Your imagination is big today. Tomorrow’s New Moon begins a new cycle that’s good for getting yourself established. Today, rest and reflection are in order.
Pisces
The day holds promise for information that will help you further your work goals, dear Pisces. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and tomorrow, the New Moon will occur in Pisces, and your best bet today is to concentrate on the things you want to improve in your life, particularly regarding your personality, image, and attitudes towards new beginnings. After the New Moon, new beginnings along these lines are possible. Today, you could have flashes of inspiration that help you solve problems now. Seeking self-understanding is important. Avoid new starts until after the New Moon, and concentrate on ridding yourself of attitudes that have been holding you back from personal success.

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.

LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 16th:
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).
