Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries

There can be good, healthy communications with a partner today, dear Aries, or some positive, supportive feedback that’s motivating. You can enjoy a feeling of being supported, protected, or nurtured by someone important to you. You’re likely to have a strong desire to talk something through or make plans with someone, and collaboration can be exceptionally successful. Alternatively, needy people may be seeking you out. You recognize new levels or dimensions of your needs that you typically miss, and it’s easier to express them. As well now, you can have a particularly strong desire (and opportunity) to master a career-related project or skill.
Taurus

You’re likely to enjoy coming up with great ideas for work and health pursuits now, dear Taurus, as Mercury and Ceres align in your solar sixth house. It can be a more subdued day in which you find yourself in the background or somewhat withdrawn as the Moon transits your privacy sector, but you’re nevertheless excited about your goals and confident that if you put more heart into what you’re doing, that you’ll improve things further, fueling your motivation. A gentle approach to the day works best – there’s no need to push things (or yourself) now.
Gemini

You can be in a good position to communicate your concern and care for others today, dear Gemini. You’re also in a fine frame of mind for dreaming up some original promotional or marketing material if need be! Today and tomorrow are strong for creative satisfaction, and for expressing affection, and doing or learning new and inspiring things. The desire for out of the ordinary experiences and connections is compelling. Even so, you can find yourself completely absorbed in research or attempting to solve a problem or master a subject now, and with commitment, you can get places now.
Cancer

You can be in a particularly good position to grow a project or to pour extra love and attention into family or domestic activities now, dear Cancer. Sound energy is with you for sharing memories, personal feelings, and thoughts today and/or feeling especially supported and family-oriented. Creative solutions to family or home-related problems can be discovered now, and it’s a good time to nurture yourself and loved ones through attention to health and nutrition with Mercury in alignment to Ceres at the bottom of your solar chart. At the same time, there is strong energy for making commitments in (or to) a relationship now as Saturn and Vesta align in your partnership sector.
Leo

You’re more thoroughly enjoying what you’re doing or learning now, dear Leo, and you can be communicating with exceptional warmth. Making important links and connections can figure strongly now, and you can feel quite accomplished as a result! Conversations can be warm and helpful. At the same time, today and tomorrow are particularly powerful for hard work and attention or commitment to work and health pursuits. Your dedication to your chores, work, and routines is admirable now, and you could pour a lot of energy into attempts to master a particular skill.
Virgo

Practical matters fare exceptionally well today, dear Virgo, and even with creative projects, you’re buckling down and enjoying yourself as you do. It’s a time for finding truly workable solutions to problems. You may be getting serious about your finances or thinking about long-term purchases for career and business goals, as well as for work projects or investments. Dreaming up ways to build your sense of security is in focus with Mercury, your ruler, and fertile Ceres coming together in your solar second house. New ideas and visions, particularly related to business, money, and other practical affairs can figure strongly.
Libra

This can be a powerful idea day on the one hand, dear Libra, and a productive time on the other, although a little obsessive! Ideas are practical and imaginative all at once. It’s a perfect time for feeling needed or reinforced for your input, advice, intelligence, or ideas. You might help guide someone with constructive advice now. Today is good for paying stronger attention to diet, nutrition, and healthy living, and it’s also an excellent time to make serious headway on work around the home. Resolving a problem on the home front or in your personal life can figure strongly and can be especially satisfying.
Scorpio

Mercury and Ceres align in your privacy sector today, dear Scorpio, and there can be genuine excitement for thinking about the past, tying up loose ends, processing recent experiences, and attention to mental health and emotional satisfaction now. You may be relishing private time and choosing to self-pamper rather than seeking out others to take care of you. Secrets may be appealing, and anonymity a good form of temporary escape and personal refreshment. If you happen to be working on something behind the scenes, you’ll get a lot done now. At the same time, another influence on your chart is excellent for giving a project your all, and you can draw upon great ambition and determination to push it to a new level.
Sagittarius

This can be a satisfying and healthy day for conversations with friends and for generating ideas about future projects and goals, dear Sagittarius, as Mercury and Ceres come together in your solar eleventh house. Ideas are fertile and inspired, or your interactions with others spark fabulous new ideas for enjoyment. Team spirit is marked. This can be a creative and pleasing day for friendship, love, and business. Friends seem to be sincerely concerned about your needs, or a sense of belonging in a group setting can provide you with a good feeling. Another influence with you now is good for resolving a problem related to business or money through sheer determination and commitment.
Capricorn

You can feel inspired to help out today, dear Capricorn, particularly through guiding and nurturing words. You may very well come up with solutions to problems in your work. You can tackle serious and practical topics with as much ease as you handle lighter fare. Your ruler, Saturn, is currently transiting your sign and coming into alignment with Vesta, clinching your commitment to a personal project or plan. You’re in a powerful place for giving an endeavor your all, although you may be a little obsessed in the process! Your dedication shows and others may take note. It’s a truly fabulous time to work on lifestyle improvements.
Aquarius

Particularly creative energy is with you for promotion and publicity if needed today, dear Aquarius, or for guiding and soothing advice and support. You might thoroughly enjoy coming up with new ideas. If your business or talents can use some marketing, it’s an excellent time for coming up with original ideas to do so persuasively. Supporting someone with your insight or providing a loved one with one of your great ideas can be satisfying now. The teacher in you can emerge today, in a nurturing, empowering way. Conversations with others can be enlightening with Mercury and Ceres coming into alignment in your communications sector. You’re expressing your care for others through your careful wording now, and it’s appreciated.
Pisces

Chiron, the maverick, just returned your sign, dear Pisces, having moved on last April but now back to take care of unfinished business until February. This transit brings out the unique and special qualities in you for all to see, and you’re ideally learning to follow your internal guidelines and instincts more intently. In the coming months, you’ll be doing more “work” along those lines. Today’s Moon can find you focusing on personal possessions, income, valuables, and matters of comfort and safety. You can also have a strong desire to master a group or friendship matter, committing to resolving problems. This can be an excellent day for self-discovery.

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.
Today’s Modal Balance
CARDINAL STRONG
The Cardinal signs are: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 26th:
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).
