Horoscopes
Aries
Good energy is with you for activities with family today, particularly of the constructive or practical variety. There can be a satisfying feeling of progress even if you’re still very much involved with handling the little things, dear Aries. This can be a good time for enjoying the simpler things in life, and for sharing your sense of abundance with others. You’re generous and you might benefit from a financial gain, or you could be investing in items that improve your quality of life or the comfort and health of loved ones. There is certainly far more attention to the details of maintaining health, and this can turn into a project.
Taurus
Conversations can be constructive and helpful today, dear Taurus. There’s a lot to learn, and research can be successful. Activities that require more focus and concentration than usual can fare well now. You can quickly become absorbed in your projects and current interests. This is a good time for kind gestures and extending your support to others, involvement with children, and romantic affection. While Mercury’s retrograde in your romantic sector can point to some reserve or backtracking in this department, warm expressions of affection, particularly through small gestures and actions, are well-received.
Gemini
This is a good day for taking extra special care of personal possessions, dear Gemini. You are of a more practical mind these days, and particularly concerned with getting your money and valuables into better order. Tending to your resources now can have long-term paybacks. A special someone may be part of the reason for getting your affairs in order, or a partner can be supportive and part of the process now. This is also a favorable day for domestic work and cooperation. The Moon moves into your sector of work and health this morning, reinforcing special attention to your practical life and sorting out problems.
Cancer
You are more hard-working and interested in getting results than usual these days, dear Cancer, and today, you may readily throw yourself into activities that can improve your life, habits, and work. You have your eye on the future, and long-term projects are more appealing than frivolous activities to you right now. Work tends to be more rewarding than burdensome. Having a measurable, well-defined goal, even if it’s a small one, is what motivates you the most. A kind gesture or communication from a friend or acquaintance can touch you now.
Leo
This is a potentially very favorable day for putting in hard work and steady effort, dear Leo, particularly on creative projects. In fact, it can be a joy rather than a burden right now. Getting your affairs in order is comforting, and applying yourself methodically is most rewarding today. Projects that require concentration or detail work can be satisfying, and works in progress can benefit from extra attention. Work and business matters can provide some emotional nourishment and refreshment, but you’re at your very best if you can tackle projects on your own or at home right now.
Virgo
You’re getting along with people well today, dear Virgo, and you can benefit from some helpful and mature advice circulating now. You can accomplish much around the house and are inclined to tackle projects with more determination and structure than usual. Sharing personal wisdom and ideas with others can be reinforcing now. You are in a nurturing frame of mind, although you should watch that you don’t take on so much caregiving that you end up overwhelmed. An interest in healing arts can intensify now.
Libra
This is a potentially strong day for applying yourself to work or practical matters, dear Libra. Those in authority or in a position to help you with your goals can be supportive. A methodical approach to your work is especially useful now, while a more free-form style in your interactions with others can encourage great ideas and improved bonding. Sharing ideas can be an aphrodisiac to you these days! The Moon moves out of your sign and into your steady solar second house this morning, and this tends to stimulate a more patient attitude and an increased ability to enjoy the moment.
Scorpio
It can be a good time for nurturing a friendship or partnership, dear Scorpio. There is a greater appreciation for the quiet, easygoing moments in your relationship, and kind gestures or words of appreciation can go a long way towards improving your connections today. Even so, personal interests and needs come into sharp focus today with the Moon’s move into your sign this morning. Emotions that you’ve pushed to the side now come up for attention. You may be making some long-term plans related to travel or education quite successfully now, and you might enjoy working out a plan of action or organizing your work.
Sagittarius
This can be a powerful time for putting in hard work towards personal goals and interests, dear Sagittarius. You’re more self-disciplined than usual and can benefit from a methodical approach to your life. While you typically thrive when allowed a more freeform, spontaneous approach to your life, Saturn in your sign encourages extra attention to rules and structures these days. You’re working steadily, motivated by a long-term goal, or reaching one now. Rewards may not be immediate, but when you do get to them, they can be all the more satisfying.
Capricorn
This is another day in which you’re more committed and comforted by a methodical, step by step approach to your life, dear Capricorn. While you’re willing to put in extra effort now and you typically prefer to work at your own pace, partnering up to accomplish a goal can be quite successful rather than interfering now. Ideas for improving home life or your sense of security and comfort can be excellent now, and also quite innovative. Putting finishing touches or adding individual nuances to a creative project can be rewarding now, and romantic gestures tend to be nurturing in nature today.
Aquarius
Today is a powerful idea day, dear Aquarius. You’re exposed to new ideas or recycling old ones in fabulous new ways, and this can be exciting now. There can be a learning breakthrough or a sudden understanding of a problem that previously stumped you. Your speech can be animated, and you may be dusting off old topics of interest and enjoying them again in different ways. While you’re likely to spend a lot of time thinking about your personal interests and projects today, you’re also becoming a little more goal-oriented and concerned about filling your responsibilities.
Pisces
You may be moved or called upon to help someone out now, dear Pisces. You can feel a strong impetus to give of yourself and to share your happiness or optimism with others. This is a pleasantly intense time for working passionately on a project that means something to you. You’re likely to reap many rewards from what you put your heart into now. Although they’re unlikely to be immediate ones, you’re quite happy to work toward a long-term goal now, as it seems to increase satisfaction levels. Conversations tend to be supportive and nurturing today.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
Current Lunar Phase
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 5th:
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).
