Horoscopes
Aries
Emotionally, you’re pulling up deep feelings about performance, ambitions, and goals today, dear Aries, but any discomfort felt now tends to motivate you to do your very best. With this kind of attitude, along with a certain amount of discomfort with remaining stagnant, you can accomplish and achieve a great deal today. You have a strong sense for long-term strategies and you might enjoy dreaming up practical ways for realizing your creative vision. Frustrations with your progress or performance can be magnified today, however, and if you’re falling behind in a project, try to set aside some time to be alone or in an environment with limited distractions. Look for ways to improve your professional reputation today.
Taurus
You’re thinking in terms of the broader goal as well as the details today, dear Taurus, and this benefits you greatly. You are accepting boundaries, and you’re approaching things very maturely today, so applying yourself to practical endeavors can be rewarding now. Conversations can be gently rousing and even inspiring. In fact, you may be interacting with people who stimulate you to do your best. You also benefit from added charm today – your calmness and maturity are doing great things for your appeal. People relax in your presence, and this pleases you. It’s also the secret ingredient for maximum learning.
Gemini
You can get somewhere with a project, business goal, or a close relationship today, dear Gemini. You’re inclined to listen, observe, and learn, and this encourages others to relax. You’re willing to put in the extra effort to study a matter further, do a little strategic thinking, and spend quality time researching. You’re in the background, but there’s quite a bit of power in this position! It’s not a day for doing the same old things or sticking with entirely familiar methods and attitudes. You’re ready for a challenge. However, it’s important not to probe so much that you begin to fret, worry, or obsess over an issue. Get in touch with yourself today, as the next couple of days bring impulsive energy, and you’ll want to know your heart before jumping into speech or action.
Cancer
Relationships frequently help us to see ourselves a little more clearly, dear Cancer, and this is especially the case for you today. With Pluto in your partnership zone, this is not always a comfortable process, but it’s a revealing one. You may be seeing some darker, deeper elements of yourself these days as people in your life tend to instigate and challenge you. You can be making interesting observations and associations now. There can be a meaningful exchange or a conversation that ultimately motivates you to make improvements, even if at first it makes you mad. Today’s Moon-Pluto conjunction can stir up discontent if your relationship or relationship status has been frustrating. Even so, this can be turned into a positive if you aim to make changes as a result.
Leo
Your emotions have more power and energy today, dear Leo, and you’re discovering many different ways to enjoy your life. Self-improvement endeavors are often related to health and fitness for you these days, and today you might have a strong urge to quit a bad habit or pick up a good one! You are expressing your needs well, and you have a solid grasp on limits, which keeps you grounded and productive. You enjoy making others happy today. You might discover new ways to manage, organize, and improve your everyday affairs. However, if you are feeling discontent about your current state of work, health, and order these days, you’re likely to feel this more intensely now. Let this motivate you. People who seem to be standing in your way may very well, quite indirectly, can drive you to improve your life.
Virgo
Emotions have a tendency to run deeply today, dear Virgo, and memories are especially powerful. They can be motivating, as well, primarily because you’re looking to make changes, not only to reminisce. Memories can strike a chord and can be a driving force behind creative works or self-improvement efforts. You have visions regarding where you want to go on romantic or creative lines, and you’re more patient than usual about putting effort towards a long-term goal. Acknowledging and processing complex emotions can figure strongly now and can be very useful. The need for self-expression is great, and you may be drawn to intense experiences as a result. Romantically, you are in great form – you’re attracting attention.
Libra
You are more in touch with your instincts when it comes to family, home, and work today, dear Libra, and perhaps given to extremes of feeling. Even so, you are also in a productive frame of mind and finding it quite easy to eliminate those things that are cluttering up your life or distracting you from progress. You’re less concerned about immediate rewards and instant gratification, and more interested in bigger goals that take time, energy, and strategy to realize. Financial strategies might also come into focus today, as they can be tied into long-term goals driving you now. If you’ve been frustrated with family life recently, however, these feelings are magnified. Let this motivate you to turn this part of your life around.
Scorpio
If you need to convince or persuade, dear Scorpio, this is a great day for it. Pull out all the stops when it comes to presenting an idea or persuading others to get on board with a proposition. You are also drawn to practical, realistic, and fruitful work and activities now. If there’s a mystery to solve, you’re on it today. The day is strong for focus and organization, but you are also interested in moving about, physically and mostly mentally. You might be feeling out new projects and ideas, but you’re best off reworking projects already in motion. Conversations can be revealing today, although it’s probably best not to probe so deeply that you end up causing discomfort. In truth, you’re merely curious, but some people may close up if they think they’re being psychoanalyzed.
Sagittarius
You’re in a good position to make plans for the future today, dear Sagittarius. You often resist planning your life too rigidly, as it can make you feel boxed in. In fact, when you do make plans, the inner rebel can emerge and the next thing you know, you’re completely off schedule. However, today you are in a practical frame of mind, and you’re particularly concerned about finances and security. The Moon is now out of your sign, and the pressure to fill your needs of the moment has lifted. Nevertheless, you’re ready and willing to change things up if something isn’t working for you. You may be able to tap into talents that have been buried or ignored, and this can eventually set you on a new road. Be resourceful today.
Capricorn
Everything you do today, dear Capricorn, you tend to do with more feeling. If you’ve been unhappy with yourself, personal projects, or the image you project recently, these emotions are amplified now. Needs can also feel very urgent with the Moon in your sign all day. The Moon’s alignment with Pluto occurs approximately every four weeks, and it can be a real trigger point, but it also gives you many chances to really work through inner conflicts. You might also be seeking a little more meaning in your life. Avoid compulsive, negative thinking that can act as a slow poison to your soul. Focus on nurturing long-term ambitions.
Aquarius
You look within for answers today, dear Aquarius, with the Moon in the sign just behind yours aligning with Pluto and encouraging introspection. You may be seeking out some level of anonymity now, or you might be working under the radar quite organically. There is a lot to discover and problems to solve, so you’ll especially appreciate time to yourself. This is a day for an inner tune-up. Complex matters that you’ve saved for later may now demand attention. Requests or questions from others can be a little too personal or possibly even irritating, but you’re quite willing to take the time to look for solutions to problem areas.
Pisces
Your friendships, connections, and even networking activities can pull up strong feelings today, dear Pisces. You’re a little more vulnerable now, and perhaps a little possessive. If you’ve been holding onto a grudge, or if you feel that someone is trying to control you, these issues can demand some action or can reach a boiling point now. When a person fears they are unable to match the other person’s intensity of feelings, they can pull away, so factor this into the equation if you’re concerned about how someone feels about you. It’s important to give everyone space and to tone down behavior that puts people on the defensive or makes them feel guilty. Working through such problems can be cathartic and puts you in a great position to work on improvements and growth. Determination is strong. You might thoroughly enjoy coming up with plans and strategies for long-term goals and dreams.

VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.

Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
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.
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
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.
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 September 11th:
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).
