Horoscopes
Aries
The morning finds you sociable, Aries, and it’s useful for leveraging the positive energies of Jupiter in your partnership sector as Jupiter comes to the final week of its thirteen-month transit. You’re in the position to enjoy the reinforcement you receive from an important person in your life. There are positive, growth-oriented vibes in your relationships now. You’re likely to feel you’re thriving rather than merely surviving, and this suits you well. As an Aries, you see nothing to gain from stagnating circumstances or connections, so it’s a nice feeling. Towards midday, the Moon enters your privacy sector, and you seek out a little more quiet and time to decompress and unwind.
Taurus
You’re in the midst of a nice set of days of increased appeal and magnetism, Taurus, as well as divine energy for romantic relationships, dating, hobbies, and entertainment. This morning, you’re in perfect shape for work and routine, however, and there’s a good chance you can get ahead with your high levels of motivation. While Jupiter will soon be leaving the sector of your chart that rules habits and health, you have a host of planets in October keeping the good vibes alive. Health and work programs are well starred this month. Towards midday, the Moon enters your social sector, and you’re inclined to seek out good company. This is also a time for the easing of the pressures to perform.
Gemini
Jupiter is moving into its last week in your creative and romantic sector after a thirteen-month transit here, dear Gemini. However, a host of guests in this sector of your solar chart in October keeps the good vibes rolling all month. The month ahead is excellent for dedication to a creative project, hobby, or relationship. This morning, you are in great shape for advancing your interests, and your personal appeal is sweet now. Love thrives if you give yourself and others some space. Towards midday, the Moon enters your career and reputation sector, and this can get your ambitions going. You become increasingly aware of your performance now.
Cancer
While Jupiter’s thirteen-month transit of your home and family sector is coming to an end in just over a week, dear Cancer, you have quite a bit of representation in this area of your chart all month. It’s an excellent time to discover ways to boost your family or home life and to enjoy some quiet or quality time. You’re likely to feel pleasantly dedicated to ironing out differences with loved ones or bonding further, as well as to boosting your satisfaction with your home life. Towards midday, the Moon enters your adventure sector, however, and you seek out broader and perhaps more exotic experiences! Even if this is simply about expanding your mind, it’s a good time for breaking the routine.
Leo
Even though Jupiter’s lengthy transit of your communications sector is nearing an end, dear Leo, you have several influences with you that extend the good vibes in this area of your chart throughout October. Good energy is with you for your projects, studies, and communications, especially as you feel strongly motivated to pursue them. People are drawn to your advice and are taking you seriously. This morning is strong for feeling freer to think and speak as you please. Towards midday, the Moon moves into your solar eighth house, where it will spend a few days, and you tend to crave more intimate connections or a deeper understanding of things. A Venus-Pluto aspect that perfects tomorrow is especially satisfying as you can enjoy getting to the bottom of matters.
Virgo
Jupiter is nearing the end of its transit of your resources sector, dear Virgo, but the good vibes last longer with a nice showing in this same sector of your solar chart throughout October. One such energy is Vesta, and increased motivation and focus for making your life more secure and comfortable. This is a time for earthy, comforting, and natural activities that help you heal, cleanse, and strengthen. Good energy is with you for applying yourself to business or money-making goals. This theme will build as planets continue to move out of your sign and into your resources sector. This morning feels good as you have a sense of being on top of things, including practical matters. Relationships require more liberties and space. Towards midday, relationships come into sharper focus with the Moon’s move into your partnership sector. Activities with a companion fare well, as you’re craving company!
Libra
Jupiter is coming to its final week in your sign after spending over a year in Libra. However, you have a large showing of energy here throughout October that you’ll hardly miss it, dear Libra. One such guest in your sign is Vesta, boosting your confidence in independent work and motivating a commitment to a personal goal or project. This morning is particularly good for enjoying a nice balance between self-reliance and interaction. Relationships seem to work better today with some freedom and space. Energies support your personal appeal and visibility. You find it easy and natural to express yourself. Towards midday, your desire to be useful and helpful kicks in. You’re emotionally geared to take care of business with the Moon’s transit of your practical solar sixth house now.
Scorpio
Jupiter is about to spend its last week in the sign right behind yours, dear Scorpio, after spending over a year there. That means it’s not too much time before lucky Jupiter graces your sign. Even so, activity in your privacy sector remains high all of October. There are real benefits to working behind the scenes, or you are working more determinedly and happily on your own. You may need more solitude to get a major project done, and you have a stronger need to regroup and recoup your energy. It’s also a fabulous time to rest, heal, and strengthen your reserves. Towards midday, the Moon moves into your playful solar fifth house, and you’re feeling especially perky and sociable.
Sagittarius
Your ruler, Jupiter, is coming to its last week spent in your social sector, dear Sagittarius, after a thirteen-month stay there. Even so, your social sector remains busy and the good vibes are extended throughout October and into November. You’re in great shape for networking, spending time with others, friendships, causes, community activities, and even business income. You can feel a stronger sense of commitment to a cherished cause or goal. Focusing on long-term happiness goals is healthy now. Today can begin busily, in a pleasant sort of way! You’ll find people are friendly but also giving one another space and freedom. Towards midday, the Moon moves into your home and family sector, and the homebody in you emerges.
Capricorn
Jupiter is heading towards the end of its transit of your career and reputation sector that lasted just over a year, dear Capricorn. However, the good vibes don’t stop in October. This sector of your solar chart is well-occupied all month. In the weeks ahead, you’re super motivated to improve your focus on satisfying your ambitions, work, and goals. You are more patient, focused, and persistent in the pursuit of your goals. This morning is great for finding a nice work-life balance. It’s also good for financial thinking. From midday forward, you’re most interested in diversifying, connecting, sharing, and creating.
Aquarius
In just over a week, Jupiter will finish its thirteen-month transit of your sector of mind expansion, adventure, and spirit, dear Aquarius, but you have several guests in this sector in October, which extends the good vibes. Now and in the weeks ahead, you’re likely to pursue educational and cultural interests with more commitment and passion. Particularly this morning, you’re in good shape for discovering or exploring new interests, sharing ideas, and reaching out beyond your usual bounds. Towards midday, the Moon leaves your sign and enters your solar second house. Your focus turns practical, and you’re seeking out a little more predictability or comfort for a few days.
Pisces
Jupiter is coming to the last week of its thirteen-month transit of your intimacy sector, dear Pisces, but you have a lot of representation in this area of your chart that continues the good vibes throughout October. In fact, this is an excellent time for work, psychological discovery, research, and self-renewal as well as intimate relationships. October and early November can be a time of strong dedication to a special project or pursuit, and you can be so motivated and intrigued with what you’re doing that you work tirelessly. Healing energy is brought to your intimate world. Today, the Moon continues to transit your privacy sector only until late morning, when it enters your sign. This stimulates a high need to be acknowledged and connected. You’re noticeable and in charge!

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
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: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 2nd:
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).
