Horoscopes
Aries
Mercury, the messenger planet, is now transiting your partnership sector, dear Aries. Until October 17th, you’ll have the upper hand in negotiations with the brilliant intelligence of Mercury on your side. But the key is not to score intellectual points now. Instead, your ability to consider the other side of the coin strengthens, and this not only helps endear you to others, but it also allows you to enjoy a whole new perspective. Decision-making, however, may not be as easy since you see things from different angles! You’re leading up to big epiphanies about relationships this month. Today, a Venus-Jupiter influence suggests you should watch out for practical details as they’re easy to miss. In your relationships, you may be seeking out “proof” that someone cares, or someone is doing the same to you. When it comes to work or chores, you might feel you can take on a lot, but keep in mind that energy and time may not match your optimism today. The Moon moves into your social sector today, harmonizing with the Sun and boosting your relationships.
Taurus
The Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart early today stimulates a desire for more order and purpose in your life for the next couple of days, dear Taurus. You now have Mercury moving through your work and health sector, where it will transit until October 17th. This is a time for focusing on procedures and methods, perfecting projects, getting chores done, and organizing your living and working spaces. It’s a perfect time for updating skills and for learning topics that help improve your work and health. This is also an active cycle for re-organizing and attending to the details in your daily life. Work can involve particular attention to detail and communication. Watch for a tendency to fret during this period, however. Today, try not to count on plans that appear to be a little too unrealistic, but do stretch your mind and entertain bigger ideas and plans. You are craving more time to get creative, but work and chores also call strongly. Consider finding a balance between work and play rather than overdoing one or the other.
Gemini
The Moon moves into your spirit sector early today, and this opens your mind to opportunities and possibilities, Gemini. Mercury is now transiting your solar fifth house until October 17th. This is a good cycle for self-expression, socializing, and spontaneous conversation or learning. There is an easier flow of communication and a mental focus on pleasure, fun, romance, entertainment, and creativity. There may be some scattering of energies today, as it can be difficult to truly know what you want, although it would be a good idea to try to uncover the source of any discontent you feel now. You can be on the fence about whether to play things safe or to take a personal risk. Check in with yourself to understand whether your impulses are based on real need and not just boredom! The good news is that you’re pulling out of a week of mostly uncertain energy.
Cancer
Your responses to others are generous today, dear Cancer, and while this is wonderful on many levels, there is a tendency this morning to overstate or exaggerate. This can happen quite sincerely in the moment but may be based on restlessness or an overestimation of your needs. The best advice now is to think things through before making commitments. Mercury is now transiting your sector of heart, home, and family. Until October 17th, it can be particularly busy in the home or with family, and some of you will be doing quite a bit of work or study at home during this period. There can be valuable learning lessons through contact with family, or about family. There can be considerably more than the usual preoccupation with personal and domestic matters now, especially with the Sun also in this area of your solar chart until October 23rd.
Leo
Mercury, the messenger planet, is now transiting your communications sector, Leo, and this boosts and speeds up your daily affairs until October 17th. This is a pleasant position for Mercury and can feel like a fresh breath air, although there can be times when it’s difficult to concentrate. This is a good cycle for detail work, easy and pleasant communications, and the generation of new ideas or development of new interests. Learning, speaking, writing, and transportation matters are in focus and in good shape. You more thoroughly enjoy taking in information and relaying it as well. Today, however, a big part of you wants to settle in and enjoy a slower pace, but your curiosity and some emotional restlessness can stir the pot now. While some woolgathering can do you well, it might also be a form of procrastination when time might be better spent focusing on current practical needs. If you can tame these unproductive tendencies, the day can be wonderfully positive.
Virgo
Mercury is now transiting your solar second house, Virgo, and influences this sector of your chart until October 17th (the Sun is already here until October 23rd). Mercury in your sign for the past several weeks has helped you sort things out and get your mental priorities straight, but now you’re more preoccupied with practical affairs and are looking to build and see tangible results for your efforts. It’s a great time for thinking about improvements to business pursuits and for organizing your finances. You can feel raring to go today, but remember that a little circumspection and strategy can go a long way now. You have a real zest for action, but not necessarily a solid plan to go by. Watch for taking things too far, particularly when it comes to spending and indulging, but also with regards to speaking too soon about a matter. Look for new ways to get creative. As the day advances, you’re focused, and priorities are easy to identify.
Libra
Mercury is now in your sign, Libra, where this planet of communications will transit until October 17th. The cycle ahead is a busy and especially engaged and on the ball one. Your words have more impact and decisions come more readily and spontaneously now. With Mercury in your corner, you can enjoy improved decision making, more alertness and curiosity, and a greater ability to talk about your plans – and others are listening! Of course, with others listening so attentively, you should be a little more careful with your communications. Today, watch for a tendency to buy into speculative ventures or to make promises that can eventually be difficult to keep. Dare to dream, but don’t overlook the fine print in the process! As the day advances, you’re in a great position to work on a problem behind the scenes or sort out a domestic issue with great success.
Scorpio
Mercury is now moving through your privacy sector, Scorpio, and will be its guest until October 17th. This transit closes up a communications cycle, and it makes a lot of sense to review, assess, or re-assess recent projects, interests, and studies. It’s also a good time for tying up loose ends on a project or study or for wrapping up a project. You might often look back or behind you for answers during this cycle, and you might take extra time for contemplation, meditation, research, and behind the scenes study or work. Decision making can be a longer, more careful process during this cycle. Today, however, energy and confidence can lift up very high and then dip, much like a sugar high. As such, it makes sense to be moderate with commitments or promises. Remember your limits. As the day advances, you become more focused.
Sagittarius
Mercury is now transiting your solar eleventh house until October 17th, Sagittarius, and this can take some of the recent pressure off to perform, and also improves your social skills. It can be a strong time for inventive new ideas, sharing ideas with others, and successful (or at least happy) networking. Valuable learning experiences can result from your association with friends, associates, or groups. Today, your responsibilities can be pressing, however, but a fair part of you would prefer to go your own way. It can be difficult focusing on priorities now, as much as you’d like to, but this changes dramatically as the day advances. In the meantime, look for balance rather than trying to push either one drive or the other. Distractions aside, you can be feeling quite optimistic now.
Capricorn
Mercury is now moving through your career and reputation sector where it will transit until October 17th, Capricorn. This is a period for taking care of business, showing off your skills or getting attention for your abilities, and for packing a stronger punch in your communications. You may be a little more guarded about expressing yourself, as you sense that others are really taking notice of what you’re communicating — and they are! This influence brings much interest and thought to career and business matters, and your career may demand more of your communication skills. Today, aim to be moderate and avoid going over the top in the morning, when judgment may be off. However, as the day advances, you’ll feel a gentle wave of certainty and determination come over you, and this feels particularly refreshing after several days of uncertain energy.
Aquarius
Mercury is now making its way through your adventure sector, Aquarius, where it will transit until October 17th. This is a good cycle for communications and broad thinking. You are a little more hopeful and optimistic than usual, and you’re especially spontaneous and free with your ideas and thoughts. You might discover a new interest, or you could be pursuing a particular topic with more vigor during this cycle. Let your imagination go this morning. The finer details may need attention later, but it’s a good time to stretch your mind and entertain possibilities. Your opinion may be sought today. While judgment is a little off this morning (the tendency is to go overboard), you’re pulling out of a several-day period of uncertainty now.
Pisces
Mercury enters your shared resources sector today, dear Aries, where it will transit until the 20th. In some way, you may have felt that others were in the driver’s seat in your life. However, others have provided valuable learning experiences. During this new cycle, you’re inclined to read between the lines and strategize more often. You may be doing some valuable research or investigation. This is a good time for bringing more common sense to finances. It’s also strong for deep, interesting conversations with others, and for self-discovery as well.

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.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
AIR STRONG
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.
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
The modes are balanced.
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.
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 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).
