Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
With the Moon in your social sector all day, you want to tone down pressures and enjoy yourself more, dear Aries. Teamwork fares well, whether with a friend or partner. Today’s transits are also strong for efforts to negotiate and compromise. As well, a problem might unblock as new information flows in. You might thoroughly benefit from–and enjoy–making plans related to money, work, and health. Still, watch carefully for a tendency to want to do too much, too fast. You may be craving something bigger and better rather than fully enjoying what’s in front of you. However, this attitude detracts from your enjoyment of the moment, and it’s easier to get back on track once you realize this today.

Taurus
Taurus
With the Moon transiting the most visible and notable area of your chart all day, dear Taurus, your responsibilities to others are highlighted. With today’s transits, it’s natural to rise above problems and make the best of circumstances. You’re in great shape for personal influence and self-expression. It’s an excellent time for expressing yourself through creative mediums. Putting your feelings into words comes naturally and poetically. Keeping things middle of the road can be a challenge at times today, however; taking on too much is a possible downfall. Watch for overreaction and aim to take undue pressure off yourself for the best results.

Gemini
Gemini
You stand to gain valuable insight, or perhaps some inspiration, from your communications or personal musings today, dear Gemini. Discussions about personal or family matters can be satisfying and helpful. It’s a great time for sorting things out and reaching a reconciliation or conclusion. New information about a personal issue can boost your confidence and even set the ball rolling towards healing. You’re inclined to see the positive. The potential problem of the day involves overdoing things, such as a too-intense inventory of the past. It’s useful to reflect on recent events now, but it’s best not to go overboard with this, so if dwelling on the past is not serving you well, aim to pull yourself out of it and focus on something more productive.

Cancer
Cancer
Your attention turns to harmony in your connections today, dear Cancer, and it’s an enjoyable time to learn and guide. Your communications are so positive and open that you attract opportunities. As such, it’s a fine time for positive reinforcement, kind gestures, good news, and compliments. Ideas you share now can boost your understanding or feelings of support. Conversations today can stimulate some wonderful ideas or plans. It’s best not to take on too much today, as tempted as you may be, with new ventures and ideas or connections. Your eagerness is great, but you probably shouldn’t get too deep with commitments that can feel too much to handle later.

Leo
Leo
You could find yourself on the same page with someone close to you today, dear Leo. Communications or incoming news is positive, aiding decision-making and boosting your mood. It might help to clarify a recent misunderstanding. Ideas for growing a business, enhancing your reputation, or expanding your income can come to you now. With more faith in your capabilities and worth, it could be an excellent time to attract positive experiences. Your instincts are strong for what to say or how to say it. You’re capable of strong, measured decisions about money, business, or career steps.

Virgo
Virgo
You can be more productive in activities behind the scenes today, dear Virgo, and strategizing can be helpful. Still, you have a bigger sense of fun and are open to learning and doing new things. Conversations can be very fruitful and even inspiring. It’s also a good day for original ideas and problem-solving. You need, however, to watch for impatience and hastiness. Watch for a tendency to focus so much on your plans that you forget to enjoy the moment. Aim to keep things moderate and avoid allowing goals and promises of the future to make the present look dull or depressing. Let fantasies fuel your imagination and motivate you to make the best of your day. While your eagerness can prompt you to take on more than you can handle, you’ll be most productive if you can keep it in check.

Libra
Libra
Cooperation comes easily today, dear Libra, and conversations can be uplifting and helpful. You’re in a positive frame of mind, and you’re in a great position to share your thoughts and listen generously. The Moon is in your recreation sector all day, bringing out a need to share your affection with others or enjoy yourself more thoroughly. Throwing yourself into a special pursuit can be rewarding today, but overdoing things is a potential pitfall. You might wrestle with expectations or find it tempting to take on something intense but then pull back from the situation when it becomes too demanding or absorbing. Do your best to avoid see-sawing and seek creative ways to express your feelings today.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Your focus sharpens today, dear Scorpio, and discovering mutual interests may be an excellent way to smooth over relationships. Being able to put recent problems into perspective opens up doors for you as Mercury and Jupiter form a harmonious aspect. Positive feedback can boost your outlook, or a conversation might open up doors. Nevertheless, the Moon spends the day in a rather homebody, withdrawn part of your chart, and it can be refreshing to surround yourself with familiar sights. You can be in good spirits, pleased with matters of the past that seem to be settling. If there is some pressure building in a close relationship, consider that it’s likely about the need to grow and improve.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
The chance to settle a tricky matter can emerge today, dear Sagittarius, as Mercury and Jupiter harmonize. Your conversations and interactions can be particularly forward-looking, inspiring much optimism. Even with a curious, social focus today, you approach your practical affairs with positivity. There can be good news about your work or reputation that boosts you. You more readily see eye-to-eye with someone special and can help them see your perspective. You are chatty, communicative, and curious. You’ll find that others are cooperative and looking forward rather than getting stuck in a groove, although a little prone to overdoing things.

Capricorn
Capricorn
The chance to connect with people who alter your perspective on your life could emerge today, dear Capricorn. Smooth energy is with you for your thoughts and ideas. Discussions are productive and positive. At the same time, the Moon spends the day in your solar second house, inclining you to stay put or surround yourself with familiar people and things. These tendencies may seem to interfere with your independence or freedom goals. Aim to tap and channel excess energy into a useful project or satisfying activity if you’re determined to solve problems. Look for ways to lighten your load rather than succumb to the idea that more is better. Find constructive ways to release stress rather than pile more on.

Aquarius
Aquarius
With the Moon in your sign all day, dear Aquarius, your needs, projects, and those things that boost your spirits are in the emotional spotlight. You believe in yourself and your endeavors! You’re also keeping yourself busy and staying alert. You’re drawn to–and you draw in–lively circumstances and people. It’s natural to direct your brain to the more positive and supportive information around you today with a Mercury-Jupiter transit in play. Reaching or helping out can boost a family or intimate relationship. Support tends to be there, particularly on a mental level. Your sense of which projects and moves have true potential is on point.

Pisces
Pisces
Your interactions are especially positive today, dear Pisces. Arriving at agreements comes more naturally, and good news or reviews may come in, further boosting your spirits. Still, the Moon is in your privacy sector all day, emphasizing the need for emotional retreat of some form. You see all angles to a story or more layers to an issue, which aids decision-making. You seem to be able to satisfy both your needs for intimacy and independence while on other days these can clash. Ideally, you’re in a position to tie up loose ends. You’re considering those things that no longer serve you well, and letting go of behaviors and attitudes that are weighing you down and preventing you from starting fresh.

Description: Transiting Moon Square Transiting Jupiter

We may not be very realistic right now – there can be some exaggeration. Minor annoyances are possible now. Contrariness or disagreements. This is not an ideal time for publicity, promotion, or legal matters. We can experience injustices. We are less inclined to consider the consequences of over-eating, over-drinking, or overdoing in general. This is a time to show some restraint. Grandiosity is not appreciated right now, and excess doesn’t go over well either. With a little self-control we can learn about what truly makes us happy.

We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.

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.

 

Today’s Modal Balance

 

The modes are balanced today.

 

Today’s 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.

 

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

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).

 

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

THE MOON

THE MOON IN AQUARIUS

OPPOSITION NEPTUNE  Orb 6°13′ Separating

This a time for dreaming rather than important decision-making. It’s a good time to pay special attention to dreams and inspiration. Clarity may not be with us, but we probably don’t need it right now. It’s difficult to know for certain what we want, as we may be wavering. Confusion about a relationship or idealizing a person could figure strongly now.
