Horoscopes
Aries
It would behoove you to pay particular attention to financial and business affairs today and tomorrow, dear Aries, as you are in an excellent position to see where you can gain power or advantage. Others’ talents or resources can be particularly helpful to you now. If you feel that you’ve been giving more than receiving, you’ll want to even the score now. You can be extraordinarily successful at negotiating today, particularly related to finances. There can be some level of contentment experienced about the general direction of your life right now.
Taurus
You are emotionally ready to take on new challenges today, dear Taurus, and you’re a little more open to new experiences than usual. Your mind is inquisitive as well, and this may be the reason you’re looking to do different things. Today is also quite excellent for relationships. You can get to a better place with a partner, or you might strike a great deal with someone now. Your powers of negotiation are through the roof today and tomorrow, although tomorrow you may have to choose your words more carefully than you do today. There can be real insight or support coming from a significant other, and you get a sense that life is indeed moving forward now.
Gemini
With the Moon in your solar eighth house all day, dear Gemini, contemplation and observation are favored over taking direct action. You might choose to lay low now. You are unusually perceptive and inclined to investigate. You can make significant headway with a health, work, or financial goal now, and may get ahead of a competitor in business with information surfacing now. Your kindness and diplomacy can take you places with the work and services you provide. You’re particularly good at research and analysis now. Take a step back to observe and plan your next move today. Complex problems and mysteries draw you in again today.
Cancer
You are drawn to others today, dear Cancer, not wanting to go it alone for the time being with the Moon in your partnership sector. It’s also a time for seeking out more balance in your life such that you no longer tolerate areas of life that are out of order, excessive, or chaotic. This can be a good day for some validation from people in your life. Others naturally open up to you. You might gain in a romantic or creative matter now, and you feel empowered by loving feelings and warm connections. Another person’s perspective, even if it diverges from yours significantly, tends to enhance your own.
Leo
This is another good day for special attention to work and health pursuits, dear Leo, except that today you are feeling less pressure to do so, which leads to a happy kind of productivity. It’s also a pleasant day for family and home matters. It’s a good time to go house hunting or spend quality time with loved ones. You are taking a little more pride than usual in your home life, traditions, customs, or methods. The desire to improve basic habits and daily routines is also with you – self-improvement efforts can be in intense focus and very much favored.
Virgo
Today and tomorrow, you are in a great position to get ahead in an area of your life related to communication or transportation, dear Virgo. This may be a writing project or studies, for example. Relationships with siblings and classmates can receive a boost. Others might recognize your kindness or individual communication style. It’s also a beautiful day for exploring creative avenues for expressing yourself, or channels for enjoying yourself. Although you may have felt a little scattered in recent days as you’ve been exploring many different interests and options, today your explorations can be particularly fruitful, and you feel as if you’ve arrived at the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Libra
If you can manage it today, take a break from a quick pace, dear Libra. The Moon spends another day in your home and family sector, encouraging a focus on your personal life, except today, you feel less pressured. You may be concentrating on self-nurture, comforting or familiar activities. If you’re not at home, you are inclined to consider your base of operations and look to the root of problems. As well, there can be new insight into a financial matter, or a benefit coming your way now. Your social graces may have something to do with gain.
Scorpio
There is a pleasant focus on learning, sharing, connecting, and chatting today, dear Scorpio. The Moon cooperates with Venus and Juno in your sign, enhancing your charm and influence. Others notice you for your savoir-faire today, and they’re especially attracted to your mind. You’re patient and optimistic, and these traits also add to your overall charm now. There is general support for what you’re doing, or, at the very least, others trust that you know what you’re doing and step out of the way. However, there can be a tendency to take on too much midday when nerves can be frayed. Stay flexible and expect some schedule changes.
Sagittarius
You have an increased need for emotional contentment and predictability today, dear Sagittarius. Simple activities tend to be particularly satisfying now. You are quite happy to build upon what you have rather than urgently seeking out a connection to the world around you. The comforts and pleasures of the world of the five senses hold much appeal today! While you can be very caught up in the present – and quite healthily so – there is good energy with you for examining the past and drawing upon past ideas and experiences that will benefit you in the here and now. You might experience or witness something today that empowers you and puts a matter that’s been weighing heavily on you to rest once and for all. There is power to keeping something to yourself right now.
Capricorn
The Moon spends another day in your sign, dear Capricorn. This transit adds extra color to your emotional world, but it also stimulates a craving for an emotional connection to the world around you. Feelings need a release, and you seek out their acknowledgment in some manner. You are likely to find some satisfying channels for expression today, particularly through connections to friends or favorite causes. In fact, you’re in a fabulous position today and tomorrow for connecting with others, and also for social clout. Friend or group connections and networking can be empowering now.
Aquarius
The Moon spends another day in your solar twelfth house, dear Aquarius, pointing to a time for behind the scenes activities, extra rest, and, ideally, a reprieve from recent demands or competitive life situations. This is a time when it would behoove you to look within for answers. Life can move quickly, and our minds absorb much, and this Moon transit helps you to catch up on an emotional level by processing and digesting recent events and feelings. Look for ways to understand yourself better and to connect with your spiritual needs. While you are inclined to withdraw – and it’s good for you – there can be an advantage gained in business today. Be diplomatic and friendly. Charm will get you everywhere on professional levels and with higher-ups these days.
Pisces
The Moon continues its transit of your solar eleventh house today, dear Pisces. While this is generally a pressure-free area of the chart, with Pluto a long-term visitor here, you can feel tension or concern about your relationships and future when the Moon magnifies this area. Still, you seek out situations, goals, ideas, and people that/who make you feel good. As well, relatively easy energy is with you today for socializing and enjoying new experiences. You’ll do best in situations that allow you to escape the daily grind. There can be an advantage gained through studies or news, and concerning travel, the law, or publishing. Charm and diplomacy are integral to this.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
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
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.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 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 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).
