Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon spends the day in your goal-oriented solar tenth house and the sign of Capricorn, dear Aries. This suggests you’re more focused on the rules, performance, and accomplishment than usual. However, your ruler, Mars, is approaching a harmonious trine to Uranus in your sign, and there is excitement in the air, particularly as the day advances. Your courage builds, especially when it comes to sharing yourself with others, and creative enthusiasm is with you. You’re thinking about what you can update and improve now, and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to make it happen! This can be a time for feeling especially vital and confident. You need some personal space, and you are protective of your independence, but you should be able to go after what you want on your own terms today and tomorrow.
Taurus
There is more carefree energy with you today, dear Taurus. With the Moon transiting your spirit sector, you’re ready to rise above small problems to consider the bigger view. Problems don’t get you down as easily. It’s also a time for making discoveries or enjoying pleasant surprises, particularly on a feeling level, as an exciting Mars-Uranus aspect comes into influence today and tomorrow. If you need to clear the air, forgive, or make improvements on the home front, with loved ones, or with yourself, this is the perfect time for doing so. The desire to act on a fantasy and impulse can be strong right now, and an opportunity can open up quite suddenly to explore a new feeling. You might also feel especially excited to move beyond a previous restriction or to forgive and forget someone. This is an excellent time to take action on clearing away some emotional baggage, and for some, physical decluttering as well!
Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your dark, intense solar eighth house today, dear Gemini, and you can begin the day in a serious frame of mind. However, a Mars-Uranus aspect that grows in influence as the day progresses encourages some level of detachment that aids you to move on and let go of those things that you no longer need. You’re looking for emotional refreshment, and unusual or unexpected events occurring now can lead to exhilarating experiences. Exciting ideas can come to you, and the hatching process is invigorating. You have more confidence in your mental capacities or ideas, and you express yourself more freely, without inhibition today and tomorrow. Learning comes easily today, and breakthrough thinking or news can figure strongly. You might free yourself from a burden. Teamwork, activities with friends, or networking can be beneficial or inspire new ideas and insights.
Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Cancer, and you’re looking for balance and harmony now. Even so, a Mars-Uranus influence aims to shake things up, fortunately, in a pleasant way. This heavenly trine occurs in your sectors of work, health, career, and reputation, and these areas of life are in line for improvement, progress, and innovation today and tomorrow. You can have a breakthrough moment, whether in method or attitude, relative to your career, health, habits, routines, responsibilities, long-term plans, or reputation. Or, you may gain recognition for your innovative methods or ideas. It’s a great time to express your originality and for gaining new insights and intuition into business and work. If you can work at your own pace and flexibly, this is ideal now, as inspiration comes when you have some space.
Leo
The Moon in Capricorn all day is typically an under-the-radar, work-focused transit for you, dear Leo, and while this is the case to some degree today, a fiery trine between Mars and Uranus is in the pipeline and has influence over the day. This transit encourages you to tap into your natural courage and express your personality with few, if any, inhibitions. You’ll want to share your ideas with others, and people around you can find you very clever. Of course, Mercury is retrograde, so do avoid formal statements until next week. However, generally speaking, your timing is on point, and your instincts are sharp. You want to make positive changes and break free from limitations now. Your desire is to go where you, and perhaps others, have never gone before.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your romantic and creative sector, dear Virgo, and you’re in a positive, outgoing mood. A Mars-Uranus transit influencing the day reinforces this. It’s progressive and assertive, and you’re likely to feel encouraged and excited to make personal improvements, especially on emotional levels. It’s also a perfect time to open up to someone you trust or move an intimate relationship forward for some. Pay particular attention to dreams, intuition, and daydreams today, as through these you may come up with a solution to a long-standing problem. You are not interested in the usual or ordinary activities today, so you seek out something different, new, and unexplored. You have a little more courage to break through a limitation or taboo today and tomorrow.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in a quiet area of your solar chart, dear Libra, and while you crave familiar settings and activities, as the day advances, a Mars-Uranus influence encourages you to explore and discover new feelings and perhaps adventures, in particular through your relationships. There can be an element of surprise surrounding a friendship or partnership. You can experience a strong urge to put difficult problems behind you, and this is a fine day for tapping into your courage to do so. It’s a favorable time for teaming up with others to get something done or simply being active with someone special. Even if you prefer to stick close to home, you will do well to focus on moving on and freeing yourself from a burden. This can also be a time when teamwork leads to opportunities.
Scorpio
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Scorpio, and this puts you in a curious frame of mind. You’re likely to be on the go now. This attitude is perfect for a Mars-Uranus influence that stimulates the desire for change, progress, and innovation. When it comes to business, work, health, and business, a new approach seems to work best. You’re more courageous about moving on and trying new things. If you can work at your own pace or if you’re allowed personal space, your intuition can kick in, and this is an ideal state for making the best of this transit. You are thinking outside of the box, and you’re seeking inspiration and stimulation now. If you find either, your work can be especially inventive. You may be causing a bit of a stir — a positive one! New approaches to health and habits can be a breath of fresh air now as well.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in your resources sector, dear Sagittarius, and this can stimulate a real need to get comfortable and feel secure. Even so, as the day advances, a Mars-Uranus influence comes into play, encouraging a change of pace as well as physical activities that increase your creative thinking, or that help you release pent-up frustrations. You may be producing particularly inventive or innovative work now. Your personal appeal runs high, and you’re friendly and in a good mood, but you do your best now whistling to your own tune. You seem to do your best listening to your own signals and instincts rather than following specific rules or someone’s script. Your sense of adventure is building and will continue to develop tomorrow. The physical expression of your good feelings may be particularly appealing now, or you could be more courageous in love.
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Capricorn, which can serve to add more color and priority to your feelings and emotions. You are a little more impulsive now, and this theme works well with a Mars-Uranus transit that also influences the day. You can have extraordinarily inventive impulses and ideas today and tomorrow, and these are likely to play out on an emotional plane. It’s a time for being courageous and honest with yourself, and for more bravery in a relationship for some of you. This is an excellent aspect for moving on or letting go and pulling yourself out of an emotional rut if needed! Give yourself some mental or emotional space so that you can get in touch with your instincts. There can be a freeing feeling now, or excitement about exploring a new and progressive path. Home improvement or advances in a close relationship can figure now.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, and you seek out some form of escape or break from the routine, dear Aquarius. Even so, a Mars-Uranus influence comes into play today and is exact tomorrow, stimulating your mind and desire to put your ideas into action. It’s also a good influence for making small changes in a relationship that help revitalize it. You may feel that you’re coming out of a rut with someone or with your thinking, studies, or projects now. People in your life may be a little more open-minded than usual or more willing to give you space and encourage your thoughts. Being positive and receptive now helps you get what you want. Personal appeal is excellent, and a lot of it has to do with your insistence on being yourself.
Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, and you’re more interested in what’s going on in the lives of your friends, associates, and networks today, dear Pisces. You’re also more open than usual to progress, change, experimentation, and new ideas with this position, and this is an ideal backdrop for a Mars-Uranus transit that comes into influence today and will stick with you until tomorrow. In fact, this transit encourages unusual or different moves and methods and may stimulate you to look beyond the traditional to find new or modern approaches. You can experience accurate intuition about business, work, health, and money matters today, and you’re exceptionally motivated to find answers to problems and new approaches that update your work or experiences. A fabulous new attitude or idea can come on suddenly and can be very much worth your attention. It’s better to work at your own pace or outside of the usual routine to take full advantage of your inventiveness now.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
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 STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
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 September 1st:
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).
