Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Differences are in the spotlight in your personal relationships today, dear Aries, with Venus and Mars forming a clashing angle. It can be difficult to see eye to eye with people close to you, and you are more invested in someone’s reaction than usual. Your intentions may be misinterpreted so that being playful could end up hurting someone’s feelings, for example, or approaches and timing are off. Your own feelings can run hot and cold, in fact. There may be conflicts with someone in authority, or you might feel uncomfortable with a person who is coming on too strong. People seem competitive rather than cooperative. Disconnects are likely about values, goals, or ambitions. You might choose to adjust your approach to minimize friction and misunderstanding, or let the friction happen in case it takes you somewhere good! Take opportunities for a change in scenery for emotional refreshment. Wind yourself down in preparation for a New Moon tomorrow.

Taurus

There can be a tendency to take things very personally today with your ruler, Venus, in hard aspect to Mars, dear Taurus, presenting a timing problem. This is less about differences in opinion, and more about differences in approaches — someone’s hot and the other’s cold, someone’s too aggressive, and the other is not direct enough, for example. It can be challenging getting it right. As well, the desire to keep things peaceful and humming along smoothly with your routines is strong, but another part of you is hungry for stimulation elsewhere. Restlessness is the result, and this can lead to impatience today, but it doesn’t have to go there. Tackle the root of the problem. Try to avoid exaggeration under the current touchy conditions, unless you’re working creatively. With Venus and Mars both on the verge of changing signs, the atmosphere is charged and impatience is likely.

Gemini

It can be difficult to get what you want today, dear Gemini. Timing seems to be off with others, and it can be difficult to fine-tune your approach exactly the way someone else in your life wants you to behave. Besides, you’re itching to be yourself. Watch spending, as impractical and impulsive energies are with us now. Passions run high, and you could feel caught in the crossfire. Your best bet is to allow difficult energies to blow over, or to tap into frustrated energy and snatch it up for creative inspiration. Consider that impatience itself is what’s tripping you (and everyone else) up more than anything today. As well, a New Moon is arriving tomorrow, and it’s better to wind down than wind up. Whatever you’re craving so hard today is unlikely to matter much with tomorrow’s lunation directing you elsewhere.

Cancer

Desires can come on suddenly and flood your senses today, dear Cancer, with Venus and Mars at odds. They’re at the tail end of their respective signs, each on the verge of a new cycle, and frankly a little grumpy, not sure where to turn! Try not to treat sudden desires as desperate needs today. True desires stick around and don’t have such a short shelf life or timetable. It may be a good idea to remove yourself from frustrating circumstances, if possible, to get a change of scenery, which sometimes leads to a new perspective. Consider that a New Moon will arrive tomorrow, and much of what you want today will be a moot point going forward. Avoid snap decisions and seek some peace for yourself.

Leo

There can be some competitiveness in the air today, dear Leo, with Venus and Mars at odds. There can be vast discrepancies between what people want and what people are willing to give right now, and this can be the source of a lot of frustration! Tone things down as much as possible, even if duties and desires seem very pressing. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, and the things that get you all wound up today are unlikely to mean much to you going forward. In fact, you’re likely to feel redirected and fresh with the new lunar cycle. Do your best to wind down and avoid quick decisions in the meantime. Keep in mind, too, that quick commentary or announcements may be premature.

Virgo

Today’s Venus and Mars conflict can serve to highlight inner conflicts as well as contrasts in your relationships, dear Virgo. Sometimes clashes don’t have quick resolutions, but they may help redirect your energy going forward. Tensions today tend to revolve around differences in values and approaches. Alternatively, you may be uncertain whether or not to take a risk. You may be feeling out of sync and at odds with others, and you could end up with hurt feelings. Impatience with people and situations, as well as impulsiveness with money, can figure strongly now. Consider that if you are not in touch with your true desires, you may be chasing superficial ones now. The New Moon tomorrow points to a new beginning, and since it’s in your sign, today is better used for reflection than agitation, so try to wind things down.

Libra

There can be a distinctly impatient element to the day, dear Libra, with a Venus-Mars square that tends to highlight our differences. Venus is currently in your sign, and while it brings you a little more attention than usual, people around you may be brusque or demanding today, and you can be hard to please, too! Others seem more interested in satisfying their own desires than tending to your needs. Or, you may want to present a calm and content appearance, but you’re wrestling with some frustrations, and it’s difficult to keep everything balanced and smooth. Don’t completely shut out information, even if it’s coming to you in an unattractive package, but don’t accept unfair behavior, either. As the results of your differences or unmet needs, however, you can come up with new ideas and approaches which can serve you well in the new cycle beginning tomorrow.

Scorpio

A Venus-Mars square today can highlight differences in approaches or internal conflicts, which can lead to conflicts, dear Scorpio. Keeping things light or business-minded is probably best, although it may be difficult to implement today. Venus is in your privacy sector and is forming a square to Mars in your house of communications. There could be clashes if you, or the people around you, are focusing too closely on fulfilling desires. Consider whether your desires are true ones or if they’re merely a symptom of restlessness. There can be some inner frustration or angst experienced now that can be hard to ignore. You may later regret hasty actions or words, particularly in love relationships, making it wise to avoid jumping to conclusions, or at least not sharing your thoughts too quickly, today.

Sagittarius

There can be hastiness today that borders on insensitivity, dear Sagittarius, as Venus and Mars clash. Tempers are quick to flare if we’re not getting our way! Your desires can feel overwhelming right now, but equally challenging to fulfill. You could feel torn between expressing your own needs and wants or pleasing someone, and there could be a sense that you’re out of rhythm with someone you care about. You may think that filling a sudden desire will be the answer to all your problems, but it’s likely to be a mere distraction. This aspect asks you to get in touch with true needs, not to chase false ones. You might choose to roll with the emotional excitement by keeping your expectations in check and enjoying a little competitiveness with others. Frustrations today can help fuel your motivation to do better.

Capricorn

Rhythms in love and patterns in relationships can be a little off today, dear Capricorn, with Venus and Mars forming a challenging square aspect. Since Mars is in your sign, you may be treating a sensitive matter too directly without realizing it, or you may find it hard to get what you want without causing a big stir. Impatience with getting our needs met can lead to all sorts of minor tensions. Someone may be wanting a refined approach from you and can misinterpret your passion as impatience or insensitivity. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow, today is better used for winding down than getting all riled up. Besides, there’s a good chance that what’s getting your goat today won’t matter much tomorrow.

Aquarius

People around you can be quite temperamental and competitive today, dear Aquarius, or they misunderstand your needs. If you find yourself competing with someone over whose needs and desires should be paramount, try to pull yourself out of the game which is likely to end up going nowhere today. Watch for impulsive moves. With Mars on the verge of entering your sign, you may be anxious to put something behind you or to make a move that is more than likely premature. By evening, you’re likely to feel that a lot of the recent pressures on you are subsiding, and that’s a good thing because a New Moon will occur tomorrow, and it’s best to wind yourself down before you begin a brand new cycle.

Pisces

With Venus in your intimacy sector clashing with Mars in your friendship sector today, dear Pisces, there can be inner conflicts to deal with or clashes with someone in your life. Someone may be giving too much and getting too little in return. Frustrations may have been building lately and reach a head today. Issues of how someone approaches you can be irritating, and people can be brusque or impatient with you, stepping on your feelings in the process. Try not to take these things to heart, but if you need to get things out of your system, you might find you have the courage to do so now. Recognize that for the time being it can be difficult to satisfy both yourself and someone close to you. Compromise or letting things blow over may be the best solution now. Keep in mind that tomorrow is a New Moon, which can redirect you on a new path.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

 

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

 

VIRGO STRONG

Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.

CAPRICORN STRONG

Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.

 

Today’s Elemental Balance

 

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.

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. 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.

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

 

FIXED WEAK

We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.

MUTABLE STRONG

The Mutable signs are: Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini and Virgo. We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

 

Today’s Lunar Phase

 

LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC

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 8th:

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, Aspect, & Degree

 

THE MOON

THE MOON IN VIRGO

We have an emotional need for order with the Moon in Virgo. Diet, nutrition, health matters, work, and routines are in stronger focus. If we’re feeling out of sorts emotionally, we might also experience symptoms on a physical level now.
