Horoscopes
Aries
Your desire to connect, communicate, and move about today is strong, dear Aries. You might find it quite easy to get up and go if you have some good company along with you. Today and in the next few days, you stand to learn a lot by observation. If you face perplexing problems, be sure to take a step back from them, as intuition is more likely to kick in if you do so. Some very creative ideas can come to you at this time, particularly work-related, and for some of you, health-related. Others begin to understand you better over the coming days, largely because you are coming into deeper touch with your own desires and needs. Projects that were left hanging can begin to come together, but today, you may still feel a little as if you are in limbo. Take things easy for now.
Taurus
You can be connecting well with a love interest today, dear Taurus, although you may feel that you’re still in the dark about whether a relationship is moving forward. For others, this can be a time of creative inspiration. You may not have a specific goal, but one is likely to form or become clearer in the coming weeks. With Mercury moving towards a station in your romance sector, it’s not the best time to make final decisions or commitments, but it’s a good time for looking at your love life from a different perspective. Clarity is also likely in a relationship. Romantic feelings are heightened. Your personal magnetism is subtly enhanced today.
Gemini
The Moon moves into your sign early today, dear Gemini, and connects with Jupiter, inspiring your desire to express and share yourself with others in happy ways. While productivity may not be up to par, it’s a good time for stepping back from the regular routine and letting your imagination go. You may be releasing negative feelings about a relationship today, or at least working on doing so. While clarity is not likely just now, it’s around the corner with Mercury turning direct tomorrow. Family matters may be moving forward in the coming weeks. If you can’t escape tasks that require focus and concentration today, work hard at paying extra attention.
Cancer
There is a good sense of being on top of practical matters in the first part of the day, dear Cancer. You might be in the position to take the lead on an issue or to guide, teach, and instruct. Look for ways to connect with others on an entirely different level than usual, and consider the means to forgive, let go of stress and negative emotion, and accept. While you are unlikely to get solid answers from anyone right now, this may very well push you to let your intuition work for you. Mercury moves to a station and turns direct tomorrow, and you’ll start seeing positive movement on important projects in your life, particularly related to communications and transportation.
Leo
There is good energy in the first half of the day for connecting with others and sharing ideas, dear Leo. As the day moves forward, there is less direction and more imagination in the mix. If you can, avoid work or chores that require a lot of focus or attention to detail, and avoid making substantial commitments today with Mercury moving to its station. It’s a transitional day that requires some level of detachment. With Mercury turning direct tomorrow, in the coming weeks, you’ll see forward motion on stalled projects, particularly related to business and money. Don’t push things right now – they’ll unfold naturally.
Virgo
You can be feeling very positive about career and money matters this morning, dear Virgo. You’re likely to have more confidence in these things in a general sense for much of the coming year. However, communications can fail miserably today and tomorrow if important things are expressed over the phone, through texts, or in chat – wherever the nuances and subtleties are left to the imagination. Meaningful conversations should be face to face right now for best results. However, don’t feel any pressure to make statements or commitments now. They’re unlikely to work entirely in your favor. Mercury is coming to its direct station in your sign, and while you’ll enjoy seeing forward motion in your projects in the coming weeks, today you may feel somewhat in limbo.
Libra
The Moon in your adventure sector harmonizes with Jupiter, which is newly in your sign, dear Libra, and emotions are big and positive. Communications can be a little confusing today with Mercury moving to a station, however. The good news is that Mercury is turning direct after more than three weeks of retrograde motion, and projects that have stalled will begin to move forward. Today, all may not be as it seems. It’s a transitional day, but you should nevertheless enjoy yourself. Your sights are set high, and a few misunderstandings are not enough to bring you down.
Scorpio
You may be relishing quiet time today, dear Scorpio, and you are likely to feel this way more often these days with Jupiter now in your solar twelfth house. Avoid important conversations or sensitive topics just for the time being as misunderstandings can be frustrating. Problems with getting your message across clearly in recent weeks are set to go away with Mercury moving direct tomorrow. For now, thinking can be fuzzy, but especially imaginative. If there is an issue, especially with a friend, that has been causing you frustration, today is strong for looking at it from a different perspective – a more accepting and understanding one. Today is good for relaxing, therapeutic activities. Keep things simple for best results.
Sagittarius
This morning is good for getting a handle on business matters, dear Sagittarius. It’s also a lovely time for feedback from friends. As the day advances, it’s more about hunches and inspiration than it is about the details or the facts and figures. In fact, your intuition is very powerful. Over the coming days, information can come to light that can help you to advance in your career or with money, or lost items might be re-discovered. Right now, allow yourself to dream and, if you’re able to, let your mind wander. Avoid distractions, however, if you are not able to escape. Mercury is about to station, and we could feel a little too overwhelmed with information to make good decisions.
Capricorn
You can be impressionable today, dear Capricorn. You begin the day ready to take care of business, but as it progresses, you’re more likely to daydream and stray from the usual routines. Even so, there is also a chance to connect intuitively with a special person in your life. If there are misunderstandings now, they are likely to clear in the coming days, reaching an important epiphany and a new level of understanding. Even if emotions are a little chaotic now, they’re an important part of the process. Mercury moves to its direct station and communication or transportation challenges may be prominent. However, in the coming days, you’ll enjoy more straightforward directions and clarity of purpose.
Aquarius
Your mood is likely quite positive as you begin the day, dear Aquarius. You’re looking forward to new discoveries and could be quite excited about budding interests or new studies. Note that Mercury turns direct tomorrow, and this is a welcome shift, but the transition itself can be tricky. Articulate yourself with care, or save important conversations for later. There can be some tension with a friend or some worries that bring down your spirits temporarily. Today is transitional in many ways with Mercury reaching its station and the Sun about to change signs, making it better to go with the flow than make waves just for now.
Pisces
This is a good time to think about topics that you might usually avoid, dear Pisces, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances. Forgiving others for slights can serve you and your relationships especially well today, and this is true in a general way for the coming year. Decision-making, however, may not be easy today. This is a time for listening with an open mind and connecting with others in this way. There can be some fuzzy thinking right now with Mercury changing directions. You are on the road to clearer thinking with Mercury’s direct turn early tomorrow, particularly regarding a relationship, but you should watch today for people being misleading or vague.

Current Lunar Phase
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 21st:
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).
