Horoscopes
Aries

While you may have a hard time juggling your outside responsibilities with personal time and family matters today, dear Aries, you’re in a good position to better understand your basic needs and feelings. Communicating your feelings comes more easily now, and this will get even better in the coming days. You’re inclined to assert your independence, sometimes in disruptive ways, but you’re also quite focused on making life better on the home front.
Taurus

This is a good day for connecting with others, dear Taurus, and for communicating. Communications have taken a hit in recent weeks, and now you’re in a much better position to get the right message across. You can be a good arbitrator now as you see many sides of a story. Today is a potentially active day for self-expression and creative thinking. While you’re likely to disagree on some fundamental points with someone close to you today, that doesn’t stop you from enjoying yourself. Good energy is with you later today and tomorrow for opportunities through or for work.
Gemini

Your focus is practical today, dear Gemini, and you are in a good position to assess your finances and working position, even if your feelings are a little strong on these matters. Conversations are more useful and enjoyable these days, and this is set to increase. You might enjoy an enlightening conversation with family or a loved one now. Later today and tomorrow as well, look for opportunities to create, express yourself, and even to find love. You’re feeling far more optimistic than you have been in recent weeks. New channels for expressing yourself are opening up.
Cancer

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Cancer, and the general mood of the day matches your natural disposition. This position can serve to enhance or exaggerate emotions – either way, you’re in the position to better understand what’s been going on inside of you. However, you might also put too much energy into fulfilling a desire of the moment. Try to distinguish between a passing fancy and a true need. This can be a good time for leaning on friends or for getting something off your chest. You seem to stimulate some opposition or even a bit of controversy now, but overall, you’re likely to enjoy the day.
Leo

Plans are likely coming together in your business or financial life now and in the coming weeks, dear Leo, and you are feeling considerably more hopeful and confident about getting your affairs in order. You’re also bound to discover plenty of distractions in the form of personal interests, studies, and ways to connect and communicate with others! Life is certainly busy for you right now, and you would benefit from giving extra attention to time management. There is a withdrawn quality to you today. You can take benefit from some time alone or relaxing, healing activities enjoyed with someone who understands your need for peace and quiet.
Virgo

The day’s energies flow rather smoothly, dear Virgo, when it comes to expressing your feelings, opinions, and needs. There can be some difficulty knowing whether you want to be close to someone, or if you require a little space. In truth, you could feel quite divided on the matter! While your focus is likely to be rather sociable today, you’re increasingly interested in your practical affairs, and you may very well find it enjoyable to get them in order. Opportunities to expand a business or to work towards a cherished goal may emerge today or tomorrow as the Sun and Jupiter move towards an alignment in your house of money and values.
Libra

You’re finding it much easier to think through problems and come to definite conclusions now, dear Libra, and this is set to improve further in the coming week. Today’s energies are pleasing for taking an inventory of your responsibilities. You readily take the lead and others tend to let you do your own thing as you radiate competence and confidence. While you continue to keep some plans to yourself, and this is a good strategy, you include others more readily rather than alienate them. Later today and tomorrow are strong for discovering new interests and finding satisfying channels for expressing your creativity.
Scorpio

The Moon moves in harmony with your sign today, dear Scorpio, encouraging natural self-expression. You’re drawn to activities, people, and situations that serve you well. You are also finding it far easier to communicate with people you like, and you’re connecting with your own needs for happiness, whether this is about a cause, a relationship, or personal interest. Even so, the coming days are powerful for work in relative solitude or for private, healing, and quiet activities that soothe the soul, and you’re likely to begin feeling the need to get away towards the end of today and into tomorrow.
Sagittarius

You can have some ups and downs today if you’re not quite sure whether you want more or less closeness with someone, dear Sagittarius. You may be giving off mixed signals as well, but it’s entirely possible that you’re receiving conflicting messages from others and that’s why you are feeling a little off. Try to focus on the areas of your life that are working for you and your feelings will more naturally sort out. Later today and tomorrow, you’re in a fabulous position for connecting with a friend or a goal that excites you. You’re engaged, interested, and feeling very hopeful about the future.
Capricorn

You’re particularly committed to making your relationships work today, dear Capricorn, although you should watch for a small tendency to want to control outcomes this morning, or to respond to your fears rather than simply enjoy your feelings of happiness about someone. Some level of chaos on the home front or within yourself can also interfere with your enjoyment at times today, but awareness of rebellious feelings will help you to overcome them. Your pleasure in devising long-term goals and working towards them is growing and will continue to do so even further in the coming days. Later today and tomorrow are strong for identifying possible opportunities to advance your professional or social goals.
Aquarius

There is a practical but enjoyable focus today, dear Aquarius, and you can accomplish a lot with the right attitude. Plans and projects are moving forward, and this feels good. You’re coming out of a state of limbo. You find it especially easy these days to throw yourself into exciting activities. Your mind and heart are engaged. You might also discover that communication blocks are falling away, and the lines of communication are opening with key people in your life now.
Pisces

While there is much focus on your private world and the more serious side of life and your relationships these days, dear Pisces, today you’re in need of lighthearted fun. The playful side of your nature wants some time in the sun. You’re dealing with others with much warmth today, and this scores you extra brownie points. It doesn’t hurt to be a little more expressive and perhaps dramatic today. Communications are improving and far more enjoyable than they have been with key people in your life.

Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional, sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, a strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.

Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.

The elements are balanced.

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 24th:
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).
