Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Planning and strategizing can be satisfying today, dear Aries, particularly related to money matters, resources, and business, but also regarding how to take care of a long-standing, debilitating problem in the best way possible. Insights may come through conversations but also through dreams – in fact, your dreaming world is particularly active and meaningful these days. However, you’re not content only to imagine and dream today with Mars and the Moon in alignment in your adventure sector and harmonizing with Uranus in your sign. In fact, you are feeling very enterprising and willing to take the initiative. Or, you might get fired up about a belief or idea today since the ninth house where this action takes place rules the higher mind and belief systems. You’re a natural leader now.
Taurus
This can be a time for feeling at one with a friend or kindred spirit, dear Taurus. Connections made can be intriguing and even inspiring. You are contributing something unique to a group or a friendship, and you’re valued for this. Emotions can be inflamed but internalized today, however, with the Moon and Mars meeting in your intimacy sector. This can be an especially passionate time, and possibly an exciting day on intimate or emotional levels, or a day in which you can’t quite put your finger on the source of your tension! Daydreaming of intense or passionate experiences can figure strongly for some of you. This can also be a good time for productivity, research, and analysis. In fact, you can come up with some interesting stuff as you dig around for answers. The need for more emotional excitement in your life can become quite evident with the events of the day.
Gemini
You can get the chance to draw upon your natural wisdom and compassion to resolve a problem now, dear Gemini. Or, you may be mediating a conflict, and your unique skills are appreciated and fully utilized. A boost to your reputation can result. The desire to better yourself is compelling now. You might also have the opportunity to bring more creativity or imagination to your work. As well today, the Moon aligns with Mars in your partnership sector, animating a close relationship. You’ll need to be active with a partner to manage this influence well because sitting idle with it can stir up excess energy. Mind you, if something needs addressing, this can be a time for it to emerge. For some of you, others are demanding more from you than usual. You’ll get a fuller picture of your own issues if you take another’s point of view into account. Any conflict stirred now may be more about what you’re not accepting in yourself than about other people or outside circumstances. Look for ways to change the usual patterns or routines in your relationships for best results now.
Cancer
A Sun-Pallas influence suggests it’s a good time for personal adventures, dear Cancer, as well as for taking the time for studies or the exploration of a new interest. Your imagination is powerful today, and you have the chance to use it very constructively. It’s a favorable time to take in a cultural activity or to pursue a creative venture. Even so, with the Moon and Mars coming together and harmonizing with Uranus, this can be an especially productive time for work, career, reputation, health, and practical matters. You may want to take action on a health or work matter. There can be a healthy desire or sudden need to become more organized and efficient. Your inventiveness may be on show or appreciated. It would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively.
Leo
This is a potentially excellent day for following through on creative impulses or for pursuing a dream of yours, dear Leo. As well, fabulous ideas for enhancing your career, professional life, or public life can come to you now. Support is there when you need it right now. It’s a great time to connect with people who can help you further your goals. A Moon-Mars alignment in your creative sector helps round out the day by firing up your passions in a pleasant way. You are resourceful and independent, and you react well to competition, although there can be some impatience or impulsiveness to deal with now.
Virgo
While you have strong energy for home and family matters today, dear Virgo, especially if you keep busy in these areas. However, it’s also a fine time for entertaining some of your loftier dreams and goals. Imagining new possibilities can be exciting now. You can feel inspired by a person’s perspective or information that you come across now, and the desire to grow and develop your mind and knowledge base is healthy today. It’s easier than usual to find things in common with others. You also may be particularly motivated to make personal improvements.
Libra
This is a beautiful time for finding creative ways to update or spiff up your routines, dear Libra. There can be a busy, buzzing theme to the day. For one, the Sun and Pallas connect your goal and soul sectors, and this makes it easy to feel a stronger sense of purpose or even to feel a calling to do something you didn’t consider was possible in the past. As well, the Moon and Mars line up in your communications sector today, getting you all fired up over a project, comment, or idea. Spontaneous communications can be useful if you push yourself to express yourself about something you weren’t sure about saying, but do watch for impulsive responses. Working on a communications project or learning pursuit with a friend can thrive now.
Scorpio
You are in a strong position for finding commonality with a partner or friend today, dear Scorpio. There can be a connection made, or bond enhanced that feels like a kindred spirit connection, or you can feel particularly inspired by someone in your life today. While your social life is in good shape, you are also quite focused on your practical affairs now. In fact, you are especially active and inventive when it comes to work, money, or health. A business or money matter may now grab your attention, and you may be especially interested in taking action on a problem area. This can be a very resourceful time when you instinctively know how to make the most of what you have. You may be over-identifying with what you own, though, or wanting to prove your worth in some manner, which can lead to conflicts, but this may very well be useful for clearing the air.
Sagittarius
Both the Moon and Mars are in your sign, dear Sagittarius, and they meet today, stirring up your initiative and enterprising nature. It’s rather easy for you to get all riled up and ready for action now. It can be an emotionally courageous day, although there can be impulsive or impatient spots, too! People tend to respect your boundaries now, and you tend to either go your own way or take the lead, particularly on creative levels. You may be inspired to go after what or who you want now. Even so, this is also a potentially good time for feeling at home with someone you care about. Bonds can strengthen through the sharing of a dream or goal.
Capricorn
This is a favorable time for creative thinking, design, seeing patterns, and strategic planning, dear Capricorn. Your artistic sense is well-developed. There may be the opportunity to combine something that you love doing (or learning) with your daily routines or work. You might thoroughly enjoy sharing ideas with a sibling, acquaintance, classmate, or neighbor. With Mars and the Moon aligning in your privacy sector, however, you do need extra time to yourself in some significant way. A lot can be going on within you or behind the scenes. You may feel motivated to take action on a matter that has been brewing for some time, finally putting it behind you, for example. Focus on renewal, regeneration, and healing for best results today.
Aquarius
This is a potentially strong idea day, dear Aquarius, but also a time when you’re itching to take action. The Moon and Mars meet up in your inventive solar eleventh house and form a harmonious angle to Uranus, and you can feel inspired to do something new, unusual, or creative. Certainly, you are taking the initiative, and you may feel moved to reach out to someone. While you tend to be quite independent-minded today, group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals at the moment. You could be in the position to defend someone or a cherished ideal. The Sun and Pallas form a happy aspect that helps you find creative ways to get comfortable, to build upon a project already in progress, or to enjoy a lively exchange with family or loved ones.
Pisces
Finding common ground with others today can be exciting, dear Pisces. You’re eager to be stimulated by new ideas and experiences, and others tend to support or encourage you to go with your ideas. The flow of communication is smooth and feels right. While your studies, personal interests, and connections are in focus and also in good form, you can feel entirely driven to take care of business. You may experience a rush of desire to take action on a business goal or responsibility, and reaching a goal or performing a duty can feel especially satisfying now. You may feel things heating up in your career or a strong desire to set some long-term goals. You usually enjoy an even pace, but today, you are ahead of the pack!

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.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
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.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
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 March 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).
