Horoscopes
Aries
The day is suitable for taking part in activities that feed your mind and spirit, dear Aries, with the Moon in your adventure sector all day. Some level of freeform activity or thinking is particularly beneficial now as you need to make room for your intuition to kick in. You’re approaching a new year and a Solar Return as well. The beginning of the new astrological year is defined by the Sun entering your sign, and this event occurs tomorrow morning. It’s bound to stimulate some of your famous pioneering and enterprising instincts. Today can be useful for getting some closure on a matter or for putting something to rest so that you can go forward with less baggage. You might come to a new understanding of a relationship or project, particularly a past one, and you can reach an epiphany now and in the coming few days as well. Breaking with the past in some symbolic way can be appropriate now.
Taurus
Today is strong for arriving at solutions and answers to recent emotional dilemmas, dear Taurus, and for understanding your desires and needs a little more clearly. Your imagination tends to serve you well today, and that is not always the case these days, so enjoy! You may be looking for satisfying ways to express yourself that are indirect or roundabout, as you prefer to keep some things to yourself at the moment. Fortunately, you may be able to channel your energies in satisfying ways now. You are moving into a period of your astrological year in which you need a little extra personal space and time for reflection. Today, there can be experiences with friends that can involve new understanding or some form of resolution to a matter that frees you up and allows you to begin anew.
Gemini
You tend to enjoy company more than usual today, dear Gemini, largely due to the Moon’s presence in your opposite sign. This position can also prompt you to seek out ways to balance your life as you tend to look at your life from someone else’s or an objective perspective. This is a good time to consult with others, whether this is done in a casual or more formal way, as you can learn much from your interactions, particularly related to how you actually feel about a matter. Today is the last day of the astrological year, and letting go of a project that no longer works for you can be natural and wise. It’s also appropriate to consider new goals, particularly related to friendships and community. You have some time to do so in the coming week, so don’t rush things, but don’t dismiss hunches and instincts you have now.
Cancer
You’re emotionally tuned into problem areas today, dear Cancer, and if you work this tendency to your advantage, you can accomplish quite a bit now. It can be of great benefit to see details that you typically overlook and to focus on fixing small problems. However, it’s a good idea not to overthink your mundane affairs – allow some time for freeform thinking or mind-clearing activities, as we’re coming to the end of an astrological and the beginning of a new one (starting tomorrow). It’s a good time for intuiting areas where you’ve been over-attached or hanging on to your detriment. The Sun is about to enter the sector of your solar chart that rules professional matters, responsibilities, and reputation, making it a good time to consider what you’d like to improve in these areas. Wise advice may come from within if you listen to and trust your instincts.
Leo
The Moon is occupying a sign that relates to play and entertainment, as well as creative and romantic expression, in your solar chart, dear Leo, and this influence brings out the natural showman in you. It also boosts your personal appeal, particularly as the Moon harmonizes with both Jupiter and Uranus, both of which are traveling in compatible signs to you. People are receiving you well, and you’re communicating with distinctive flair now. You may be feeling like a free spirit today, and with the Sun about to enter your adventure sector for a month-long stay, you have more of this energy coming your way. This is the last day of the astrological new year, and today, you can benefit greatly from identifying areas of your life that you’ve outgrown or that have been weighing you down. You might find that this process comes quite naturally.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your sector of home and family, dear Virgo, and you tend to seek out familiar faces, places, and activities. Take your needs to relax, rest, get comfortable, and boost your feeling of security more seriously now. We need times for self-nurture now and again, and this often coincides with the Moon’s move through this sector of your chart. Especially if you’ve had some hectic days, you’ll welcome a slower pace. As well, the astrological year winds down today, reinforcing your need for time to reflect. You can feel empowered by letting go of something negative in your life. You are learning that healing begins when you let go of resentment and anger, as these things involve others indirectly controlling your life. Clear your head of distractions and focus on the things that truly mean something to you right now. Year-ahead goals may very well emerge organically as you do so.
Libra
Your ability to adapt to minor changes helps you today, dear Libra. There can be a nice and easy flow now, particularly in your friendships and connections. Communications are smoother than usual. You tend to multi-task today with the Moon in your solar third house. However, it’s a good idea to slow down just enough to reflect on recent developments in your life as this is the last day of the astrological year. Allow for some freeform thinking and activity and aim to go with the flow. If your intuition tells you to let something go, it’s probably right on, as it’s a natural time for shedding outworn attachments and attitudes. Prepare for the astrological new year that begins tomorrow morning by clearing your head. Companionship will take on even more importance in your life in the coming weeks, making it an appropriate time for considering your needs and wants in the relationship department.
Scorpio
Practical rather than emotional matters tend to take up more space in your mind today, dear Scorpio. Even so, you are also thinking in progressive, forward-looking terms. There is imagination in the mix, and you’re not afraid to draw on your intuition as you focus on your work or practical affairs. This is the last day of the astrological year, and you may be wrapping up a creative, heartfelt project or a matter related to a relationship, and this frees you to move forward a little lighter. You are moving towards a more work-centric phase when routines and practical issues receive more of your focus and attention. Getting into shape is likely to be one of your primary goals going forward. It would do you well today to consider what you’ve accomplished and learned in the past few weeks, and to identify which plans or attitudes that need to go so that you can bring the best version of yourself into the next cycle that begins tomorrow.
Sagittarius
Emotional energy runs very high today, dear Sagittarius. The Moon in your sign all day encourages self-expression, and you have good planetary support for this. Attention to your emotional needs is appropriate now. However, the astrological year is winding to a close today, and it’s appropriate to consider things you may want to put to rest before you move forward. Shortly after today ends, the astrological new year begins, and exciting developments are in store in the coming weeks, particularly related to creative projects, children, romance, and hobbies or entertainment. Use today for considering the attitudes and projects that may need to be set aside to go forward with lighter emotional baggage. A family member may be integral to pointing you in the right direction, or there can be a personal or domestic matter that settles, freeing you to begin anew. Reflection on what you’ve accomplished in the past few weeks can be helpful now.
Capricorn
You are approaching the end of a Moon cycle with the Moon spending the day in your solar twelfth house, dear Capricorn. This suggests that you can use some extra time to yourself for regrouping on an emotional level. You can benefit greatly from peaceful, healing, and renewing activities now. This is particularly useful as the astrological year comes to an end. Consider which things are no longer serving you well and consider leaving them behind as you begin new cycles. Working behind the scenes can be beneficial today. Life has been busier than usual lately, and while this has worked to your benefit to some degree, you may be feeling a little scattered. You are now moving into a more comfortable phase – a cycle during which familiarity is more attractive than variety. There may be communication or news today that brings closure to a matter or acts as a turning point for a transition to a quieter phase.
Aquarius
You gravitate towards activities that feed your desire to feel connected to the world around you today, dear Aquarius, whether you’re focusing on dreams or plans that are close to your heart or connecting with others. You may be seeking out commonalities with others now, and you could find that teamwork makes things a little easier today. This is the last day of the astrological year, and you’ll be moving into a busier, more engaging period tomorrow when the Sun moves into Aries and your communications sector, joining Mercury and Venus there. The coming weeks are active for new interests and idea. If you’re anxious to move a new project forward, however, you may want to wait a little longer. In all likelihood, instinctively you know to hold on, or circumstances are temporarily holding you back from moving forward. Use today for letting go of things that are no longer serving you well.
Pisces
You’re particularly aware of your responsibilities and longer-term goals today, dear Pisces, with the Moon at the top of your chart all day. While others are certainly watching, you can feel quite comfortable with the image you’re projecting at the moment. Your mindset is practical but also progressive today – a great combination. Something can inspire you to reach for greater heights. Even so, as this is the last day of the astrological year and the final full day that the Sun transits your sign this year, it’s an important day for reflection. The Sun will leave your sign tomorrow morning, when it enters your solar second house, signaling an up and coming building phase. Consider new goals related to security, finances, self-worth, and the development of your talents.

BALANCE OF MODES

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 19th:
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).
