Horoscopes
Aries
In the first half of the day, a Mercury-Saturn square can incline you to see the downside of a situation, dear Aries. Worries about the future, health, or knowledge can be pronounced at this time. There can be a mental disconnect with someone you spend time with on a daily basis or a restless desire for more life experience can be thwarted by the need to get important work done. There may also be delays or blockages with certain endeavors that keep you rooted or in a frustrated state of not knowing. Look for ways to work around roadblocks. With this influence, it’s better to put in the effort to fill your duties and responsibilities as best as you can than to fight it or take shortcuts. The second half of the day is easier. You’re feeling less restricted or guilty about branching out and enjoying different topics and experiences.
Taurus
In the first half of the day, you may be dealing with a disapproving person or news that dampens your spirits a little, dear Taurus. If someone or something is putting a damper on your plans, or if you face criticism, stay centered and connect with what you truly feel about your situation. Some doubts about recent feelings or projects could emerge now, and misunderstandings are possible. Be on the lookout for focusing too hard on a particular desire that is not as important to you as it seems at the moment. Do your best to allow difficult energies to blow over, or decide instead to tap into frustrated energy and use it for creative inspiration. Learning from differences or using a delay to your advantage for fixing problems is best for you now. As the day advances, you’re likely to feel more centered and less restricted.
Gemini
Your ruler, Mercury, forms a challenging aspect to Saturn this morning, dear Gemini, and you may be dealing with disapproval or delays. Information might surface that disagrees with you or challenges your take on a situation. Since Saturn is a long-term guest in your partnership sector (not for much longer, however!), a partner or significant other can seem to block your plans or discourage your thinking. It might feel that others shoot down your ideas before they’re given a fair chance. While it’s important to look for the lesson today, it’s also a good idea to center yourself and get in touch with what’s important to you, as this is what matters most. You can emerge from all of this with some refinements and a strengthened position, and in the second half of the day, you’re ready to let go of tension and enjoy yourself.
Cancer
A Mercury-Saturn aspect this morning can point to a small reality check or letdown, dear Cancer, but the changes you make as a result of this can improve your position in the long run. You can feel pressures both or either from inside yourself or the outside world, but either way, this is a time for acknowledging your responsibilities but stopping short of the point at which worry or anxiety take over. If you feel vulnerable, it’s your way to put up a protective shell around you, and today, this is a strong tendency. However, if you give off the impression that your skin is thick, you could end up with hurt feelings. Work or things on your to-do list can be overwhelming, but you may discover that you can shuffle things around to accommodate both duty and pleasure. Certainly by the second half of the day, you find it easier to enjoy yourself.
Leo
In the first half of the day, you could find some reason to feel discouraged or blocked, dear Leo, either from people in your life, circumstances, or some self-doubt. Tensions now can revolve around differences in values and approaches. Internal conflicts are more likely to be about whether to take a leap of faith or a risk or to stick with what you know. If others seem to want to challenge you or prove you wrong, respond with sincerity and fairness. Keep things simple and center yourself as much as possible. While you can always learn something from your mistakes or constructive criticism, in the end, it’s about what you feel is right, so find your center. Sometimes clashes with others don’t have quick resolutions, but they may help redirect your energy in the future, particularly as you discover weaknesses in your position or plans which you can fix.
Virgo
Some days are good for taking a leap, and others are better for sticking to the rules, dear Virgo, and today, the latter is your best approach. You may be excited about a plan or idea, but it’s just not picking up steam or others seem uninterested or critical. In fact, others may not be hearing your whole story, and this can be frustrating. Try not to waste energy on worry about the future and guilt about the past. Shutting out information is not your best bet, either, even if it comes to you in an unappealing package, as you can learn from feedback, but do avoid taking criticism to heart. You shouldn’t accept others’ unfair behavior. Today has a way of showing you areas of your life that are vulnerable, and your best bet is to work on strengthening them. The second half of the day is more carefree. It becomes easier to find your center and know what’s most important to you.
Libra
While a Mercury-Saturn square today has a way of accentuating the downsides of a situation, dear Libra, it’s better not to make a decision from a state of worry unless you truly have to. These days especially, you need emotional space and quiet to sort out your thoughts. You may be feeling a little insecure about recent comments or openness, experiencing some feelings of regret or fear that you may have revealed too much or that others are not interested. Try not to allow insecurities rule, as you’re likely to make mountains out of molehills now. A project may reach a roadblock, or a miscommunication can lead to a frustrating delay. Even so, this may also slow things down just enough that you find a better plan! If you’re facing others’ criticisms, it’s best to look inside yourself and allow your own wisdom to emerge.
Scorpio
You could be seeing the flaws of a situation today, dear Scorpio, and while this can be a tad deflating, you are in a good position to work on problem areas and strengthen your position or plans. A temporary drop in confidence can lead to negative thinking a little too quickly now as Mercury and Saturn form a square aspect. The reality of costs can put a temporary damper on a plan. There could be temporary blocks or delays that frustrate, but these can also lead to a reexamination of goals, and this process is ultimately useful. Focus on what’s best for you in the long term. Look within for your own wisdom instead of allowing others’ input unduly influence your decisions. Keep your sense of humor today. Admittedly, this will be easier to do in the second half of the day.
Sagittarius
A Mercury-Saturn square coloring the first half of the day may very well bring disheartening news or a small reality check, dear Sagittarius. However, it’s likely to do with an ongoing problem that has a high potential for resolution, and today may be about strengthening your position. Be on the lookout for ways that you may be limiting your progress without even knowing it. Humbling yourself to constructive criticism can be well worth your time now. Ultimately, however, it’s what you think or know is right, so don’t allow others’ opinions to take precedence over your own inner wisdom. Self-doubt should prompt some reflection. Take your time weighing pros and cons and consider all of your options, but avoid harping on the past. It will be far more productive if you look forward to how you can make improvements.
Capricorn
This morning, your ruler, Saturn, is in difficult aspect with Mercury, dear Capricorn, and this can point to an obstacle, delay, or restriction that is temporarily slowing you down. Try to keep a sense of humor, and perspective! Consider whether insecurity or self-limiting attitudes and perceptions are at play. If blocks are coming from the outside, take the time to strengthen the areas of your life that feel the most vulnerable. The need to revisit plans, schedules, or statements may arise, and ultimately it’s far better for you to do so. Think in terms of the long view for best results now. If obstacles only serve to bring you down, take a second look, as there is very likely a lesson to be learned. The second half of the day is easier than the first. Nevertheless, you are in need of some extra time to yourself as the Moon spends the day in your privacy sector.
Aquarius
The need for structure in your life is strong, dear Aquarius, but some of the structures in place in your life can be limiting your growth. With a Mercury-Saturn challenge today, circumstances and people may seem to be blocking your progress, but do consider whether some of your attitudes have been self-limiting as well. This is a good time to recognize where you may be tripping up. For the time being, modest ambitions work best until you get beyond the feeling of being overwhelmed. Slowing down to get things right also makes sense. In relationships, bear in mind that if you let fear rule, you may miss an opportunity to get closer to someone. However, also remember that misunderstandings are entirely possible now, and they may have to do with questions about the depth of feelings and attachment. You can experience tensions with someone over power dynamics, sharing, and intimacy. Someone may be giving too much and getting too little in return. Compromise or letting things blow over may be the only solution now. The second half of the day finds your mood more joyful and free. Reaching out to others becomes natural.
Pisces
In the first half of the day with Mercury and Saturn forming a square, dear Pisces, there may be a little reality check or small disappointment to deal with before pressing forward. You could feel that others are being negative, critical, or disapproving. There may be some disconnects to deal with, and these are likely to revolve around goals or ambitions. Insecurity may be interfering with intimacy now. It can be difficult to see eye to eye with people close to you, yet you could also feel rather dependent on the responses of others at this time since Mercury is in your partnership sector, which creates a dilemma. There may be conflicts with someone in authority, or you might find it annoying that people seem more competitive than cooperative. Adjusting your approach to minimize friction and misunderstanding can be worthwhile now, but others should be meeting you halfway, too. The second half of the day feels freer and easier to separate your feelings from others’ wishes.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
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: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 25th:
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).
