Horoscopes
Aries
The morning can be a little tense, dear Aries, but as the day advances, moods even out, particularly if you catch on quickly that the day favors smart, conservative moves rather than bold ones. The focus should be on bringing a plan or idea down to earth, expressing your affection for others through your reliability, and coming through for others. It can be an excellent time for attention to details and organization with money, studies, and creative projects. The confidence you have with your plans, creative efforts, hobbies, or romantic pursuits is based on realism now — the best kind! You can be drawn to pastimes and pleasures that have something to teach you, or you put more effort into the practical side of your hobbies and relationships now.
Taurus
You might enjoy excellent prospects involving your family or home life now, dear Taurus, as Venus in your solar fourth house connects harmoniously with Saturn. This can be a good time to invest in your comfort, home, security, and safety. Giving back or maintaining something you love makes a lot of sense now. It’s also an excellent day for connecting with people you care about. Being humble, listening, and paying attention to tried and true methods all have their rewards today, much more so than flashy moves. People appreciate your predictability and loyalty today, and you’re drawn to situations that make you feel safe. This can be a decent time for purchases or acquisitions related to collections, investments, real estate, and antiques. Focus on moderation and balance.
Gemini
You’ll mature and feel stronger today if you pace yourself and deal with others patiently and calmly, Gemini, and you have fabulous planetary support for this. You gravitate towards people who are mature and wise now. Reliability in others impresses you the most today. You’re willing to overlook problems as you see the value of a person in the long term. This is a good time for learning and sharing useful information and ideas. Studies can thrive, and you may be focused on developing skills and gaining knowledge. Teaching others can be satisfying now, as well. One-on-one settings work best for you today. Ideas that were only on the drawing board tend to come together, especially if you run them past a trusted friend or partner. Use a traditional or whatever-worked-in-the-past approach for best results today! Conservative rather than bold moves are best.
Cancer
Your judgment is fabulous today, dear Cancer, on practical levels. Whether you’re shopping, working, or connecting with others, you seem to gravitate towards the right things and the right amount! This is a good time for making reasonable assessments, particularly related to work, finances, and health. You are seeking out more security and making mostly conservative, studied choices right now, and this is favored at the moment. Aim to focus your energies on problems that can be resolved using a step-by-step approach. The day supports practical moves and not too much show or drama. This applies to your emotional life and relationships, too. You might enjoy a bonding moment or a general understanding with someone you care about. Patience is rewarded today!
Leo
With Venus in your sign connecting happily with Saturn in your creativity sector today, dear Leo, you’re in excellent shape for taking care of business. Perhaps more importantly, this influence is excellent for sensible confidence and showing your reliable side. Your relationship, role as a parent, or creative project can ground and stabilize you today, and it feels great! Today favors loyalty, reliability, and perseverance, and people find you particularly attractive for your wisdom and support. Agreements made now tend to last in the long term. Conservative rather than flashy moves are rewarded now. This a good time to apply yourself to creative work.
Virgo
Feeling content with what you have on financial and relationship levels, dear Virgo, invites good judgment and patience that lead to success. The key is to prioritize tasks and focus your energies, and you have great planetary support for this. Today is good for buckling down, catching up, and taking care of business. There may be more than usual work to do around the home, and this is a good time for making a dent. Part of you enjoys a challenge, or you intuitively understand that challenges are sometimes necessary to pull you out of a rut. Organizing or other “work” related to home and family can actually be comforting and enjoyable. When it comes to love, predictability and comfort are favored over bold moves. A cooperative agreement may be arrived at now.
Libra
Others seem to be more helpful to you than usual today, Libra, and willing to get things done. Shared activities can be especially productive. There can be personal enjoyment of reading, learning, or studying now as well, and the more constructive the better! You can learn something of great value through your networking and studies today. People are seeing you as reliable and valuable, and they appreciate you for these things! You can experience a real surge of motivation to resume or edit your projects. Your interests are plenty, but your time is limited. In fact, this is a great time to focus on one special thing rather than scattering your energies. The key to success today is to tap into your ability to be patient. A constructive conversation with a friend or associate can figure prominently now, and it can clear up a whole lot.
Scorpio
While the morning can be a little tense, moods even out as the day advances, Scorpio. Good energy is with you for setting things right with money. You’re looking for more order and clarity in your practical affairs today. You are also projecting your value and worth in favorable ways to those in authority or associates, and this can impact your income, if not now, down the road. You are selling yourself in your career these days, and you have particular influence with others on professional levels. There can be recognition of your talents and skills, and this is unlikely to come with a lot of fanfare today, but it almost seems more genuine as a result. Relationships are productive, and agreements tend to work out well. People are cooperating and on time or coming through for you in a pinch.
Sagittarius
While the morning can be a little tense, focusing on positive, productive tasks helps you take advantage of the energies of the day as it progresses, Sagittarius. You’re in excellent shape for collaboration now, but also doing very well on your own, particularly with studies. Friendship benefits from more patience and acceptance. People appreciate your realism today. Keep in mind that it’s a good time for learning from others and that you don’t have to agree with advice to learn something from it. In fact, disagreeing with an opinion can lead to some interesting insight. With Saturn in your sign, recognition comes in small and quiet chunks rather than huge waves, and you may need to look closely to appreciate it, but it’s there! Today is good for showing your worth and integrity without having to go to lengths to prove yourself.
Capricorn
Flowing energy is with you today, dear Capricorn, with your ruler, Saturn, in harmony with lovely Venus. You’re motivated and have much enthusiasm for research or projects now. People are intrigued with you and drawn to you. Someone might entrust you with a secret or show their trust in you in similar ways. You might want to take the time to go over financial matters if you can, as your judgment is excellent. You’re also likely to carry yourself with even more dignity than usual, and people seem to appreciate you in particular today. With Venus-Saturn active today, quality is emphasized over quantity in both the material and emotional worlds. You have a realistic view of your relationships, yourself, and your life, leading to the right decisions.
Aquarius
Today’s energies are on the serious side, Aquarius, but in the most pleasant of ways! This is due to a harmonious connection between orderly Saturn and lovely Venus. You may be taking relationships or pleasure a little more seriously, and it’s a great time to bring a bit more order to these things. There can be subtle but real advances in your social life or a close partnership if you focus on priorities. You’re likely to enjoy an excellent sense of stability and faithfulness in love and friendship. Showing affection through practical support is favored now. Shared pleasures can enhance an existing bond. New relationships or commitments formed now tend to last.
Pisces
Thinking and conversing in the morning can feel pressured, dear Pisces, but as the day advances, you quickly discover that a patient and conservative approach wins you the most points! Try to remain detached this morning for best results, and begin tapping into the satisfying energy of a Venus-Saturn trine. Work matters can thrive, and you can be especially interested in tackling ambitious projects or working on health goals. You can be quite pleased with work and the little things that you’ve accomplished. There can be pleasure derived from doing a job well done or a sense of accomplishment after taking care of important details. Sticking to tried and true methods that are easy to fall back upon makes sense today. You are an excellent judge of value today so that work, purchases, and relationships tend to flow along smoothly.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
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.
LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 12th:
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).
