Horoscopes
Aries
There can be a wonderful feeling of solidarity with family and loved ones today, dear Aries. They can motivate you to build and improve your life. Building a business, career, or goal, can be in sharp focus. Even so, there is a lot of attention to partnership now with the New Moon occurring today in your opposing sign. The landscape is changing in your life when it comes to close associations and one-to-one relationships. How you deal with others, negotiate, and compromise is transforming in ways that serve you better. This can mark the beginning of a new connection in the weeks ahead or the turning over of a new leaf in your social life.
Taurus
You may be feeling a strong commitment to your personal interests, projects, or studies now, dear Taurus, and you’re in a good position to get ahead. You can feel particularly motivated to learn and expand your knowledge or experiences now. A New Moon occurs today in your work and health sector, giving you a nice boost towards self-improvement. This lunation brings new beginnings and fresh energy to your daily routines and habits. New plans and projects are on the horizon. If you feel unsettled about how you’ve been managing your life, you’ll want to do something about it now. This is the time to successfully initiate diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules.
Gemini
Today’s New Moon has the effect of wiping the slate clean in an area of your life, dear Gemini, likely to do with creativity, hobbies, romance, and play. You’ll want to start fresh, whether this is about a project, approach, attitude, or relationship dynamics. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. Relationships can improve or form now and in the coming weeks. You need to express yourself in unique, creative ways in the month ahead! Today, you can also be in great shape for an emotional renaissance of sorts. There can be a new commitment to improving your outlook.
Cancer
You can feel passionately committed to someone or even to a project now, dear Cancer. Taking steps to secure your future with someone or for your family can figure strongly now. You’re fiercely protective of loved ones and perfectly ready to take charge and defend your turf if need be! With today’s New Moon, you have the chance to clear the slate and start fresh with family or regarding a living arrangement or home matter. You’re mainly focused on issues of the heart, security, and comfort. While safety and familiarity are a top priority, you’re willing to take charge and start fresh if necessary and you’re not afraid of change if it’s to make your life better.
Leo
This is a good day for nurturing ambitions, dear Leo. You’re feeling particularly strongly about work and life-path goals, and especially protective of your ideas or projects. As well today, a New Moon occurs in your solar third house, and a new cycle of growth begins that’s all about making connections, reaching out to others, and learning new things. A busy time is ahead of you. It won’t necessarily be easy to find the time to focus and concentrate on any one or two projects due to many distractions and a big curiosity or hunger for new ideas. However, it’s a great period for beginning a new project, mainly related to writing, speaking, and schooling, or for breathing new life into work in progress or an old idea.
Virgo
With a New Moon launching a new cycle of growth today, dear Virgo, you’re in a good position for taking charge of the material side of your life. The coming days are active for beginning a new business, project, money-making idea, savings account, or budget – anything that helps you build and take charge of your resources. This lunation cleans the slate and opens doors for you in the areas of personal finances and resources. The emphasis now should be on material needs versus material desires. A Mars-Ceres aspect today supports you and your creative goals. You can be feeling especially motivated to pursue your interests and studies.
Libra
This is another day for taking it easy, dear Libra, as the New Moon that occurs this evening is in your sign, and you’re in a fantastic position to tap into your intuition. Try not to move too quickly now as you risk a state of burn-out before you really get to begin! The New Moon is about fresh starts and new beginnings. Make plans that take the future into account. Otherwise, you might find yourself running out of steam and encountering opposition. This is a time for reinventing yourself in some meaningful way, or for a personal new beginning. The focus is on your health, personal manner, the way you greet the world and express yourself, and your personality. Making changes to reflect the current version of yourself is favored. Take charge of your life!
Scorpio
This is a potentially powerful day for tapping into your intuition, dear Scorpio. A New Moon occurs this evening, activating the sign just behind yours (Libra) and your privacy sector. This is a time for events and feelings that remind you to slow down and get time for rest and reflection. The weeks ahead are important for processing the solar year that you’re leaving behind as you approach a new one. Decisions can be made to let go of negative situations or attitudes, or of projects that no longer support your current vision. This is about freeing up emotional space to allow new energy into your life. Both mental and physical health are in focus now, and it’s time to start fresh on a new course of important improvements. It’s one of the most spiritual times of year when reflection on the past helps you to formulate new and improved goals. A Mars-Ceres influence today points to a possible strengthening of a partnership or project. A relationship might motivate you to work or study harder.
Sagittarius
The New Moon this evening can stimulate the desire or need to start fresh, dear Sagittarius, with happiness goals a major theme. You have extra confidence for reaching out to others or for making important changes in a friendship, group connection, or goal. Aims and aspirations that feed your sense of contributing to the world on a social level or that improve your optimism and mental state are in particular focus now. Cooperating rather than competing with others is the most effective strategy at this point in your growth cycle. New and improved energy is with you now for making or enhancing friendships, networking, generating business income, drawing up long-term plans, joining or enhancing groups, and sharing your expertise.
Capricorn
The Moon continues its Balsamic phase until this evening, dear Capricorn, when a New Moon occurs at the top of your solar chart. Aim to take it easy again today and allow your intuition to work for you. The new cycle ahead of you is an ambitious, take-charge one. The desire to succeed, perform, and work towards your goals can take over now, and important changes or new beginnings are in focus. This can be a more visible time of the year for you. There can be scrutiny, recognition, or reward. Business and career matters can really pick up pace in the coming days and weeks. This is a great time for creating or fine-tuning your overarching life plan. Today’s energies are also strong for creative connections, romance, and relationships with children.
Aquarius
A New Moon occurs this evening, dear Aquarius, and it inspires new visions, optimism, and confidence. There can be much to excite and motivate you in the weeks ahead, and you may be pursuing new initiatives that widen your experience and deepen your understanding of your life. It’s time to break out into unexplored territory. Educational interests, publishing, promotional activities, or travel may be in focus. The desire to expand your knowledge is high. You’re pulled out of your shell in a positive way, ready to go forward and pursue your dreams. This cycle recurs yearly, but you have Jupiter on your side this year, helping to open your eyes to new opportunities. You’ve been doing a lot of observing life, and now it’s about living it! Meeting people who introduce you to new ideas, concepts, and even lifestyles can be in focus. Today, you can feel particularly connected to your memories or family, and the desire to take care of loved ones can be motivating.
Pisces
A New Moon occurs this evening, dear Pisces. The energy for new beginnings and taking charge of your life is powerful now, and it’s affecting a part of your solar chart that rules many of the things that go on behind closed doors or deep inside of you. It can stir up your need or desire for intimacy and closeness, and also a willingness to get to the bottom of matters, including increased self-understanding. This is a good time for putting a bad habit or addiction behind you, as well as for any endeavors that benefit from analysis, research, and investigation. An event could take place that opens your eyes to the need for handling debts or shared resources more effectively, and a take-charge attitude emerges now. Today, you can be feeling passionately about a project or friendship, and may come to someone’s defense.

We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. 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.

Current Lunar Phase

Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 30th:
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).
