Horoscopes
Aries
This is a good day for sticking to what you know and getting your work done, dear Aries. It’s better to follow the rules just for now, as there is a general tendency to misjudge matters, partly due to temporary lack of confidence and partly because it can be difficult to think clearly today. If you are uncertain about something important, save it for a later date. There may be some confusion related to learning, educational, communication, or transportation matters. Nobody can push you into doing anything today – they will have to wait until you say go. If you’re feeling hesitant about a project or presentation/idea, take a little more time to get things right.
Taurus
Adjustments may need to be made today, dear Taurus. You may have misjudged the time required to finish a task, or the resources you needed. Decision making is difficult today, but it may very well be for good reason. You may be especially sensitive to what others are saying or doing, but try not to over-react. With today’s planetary arrangements, it’s difficult to see things clearly. Financial matters may also need attention, and it will be important to avoid lending or borrowing just for now. There can be a disagreement or misunderstanding about money with a partner or friend today. More creative and imaginative activities are likely to fare a lot better now.
Gemini
You may feel guilty if you pursue your desires today, dear Gemini, as reminders of what you should be doing seem to be everywhere. Changes of plans can be frustrating, but you might want to channel your energy into clearing up what has to be done. Don’t waste time on anger and frustration today. As well, there can be an unintentional tendency to be indiscreet. You may dramatize a situation that you will later regret when you’re more clear-headed. It can also be hard to see professional or reputation matters clearly. Use your imagination constructively by tossing out any negative scenarios that come to mind in favor of focusing on positive possible outcomes.
Cancer
Tasks that require mental concentration, spontaneity, or direct action may not fare well today, dear Cancer. It may be better to focus on what you do well and what you know just for now, as there is tricky energy with us until late afternoon. Try not to invest yourself emotionally in what you hear or see that’s out of the ordinary today, as it may only be temporary or an illusion of sorts, and avoid sharing a secret. If you can, take a break or schedule activities that are not very demanding or competitive. This can be a good time for imaginative pursuits, particularly in the latter part of the day. Tomorrow, energetic Mars enters your sign, and you’ll begin to feel far more directed and decisive shortly after.
Leo
It may be better to keep your own counsel today, dear Leo, as there can be confusing and stumping energy with us now. Some plans or projects may need reworking or review, but even so, there can be a lack of clear direction now so that you might leave making solid changes and commitments for a better, more confident time. Boundaries may blur in a friendship, and you and/or someone important to you can feel a little confused. You may be feeling ready to take on the world one minute, and cautious the next. Try not to let this lack of direction discourage you. Instead, try to welcome a pause or break from pushing ahead.
Virgo
You could have some difficulty following closely to a schedule or routine, dear Virgo, and dealing with routine matters. There can be some misjudgment now, as wishful or fearful thinking can interfere with perceptions. You could be feeling a little set back when it comes to work or a project, as you become aware of a delay or the need to put more energy into it than you had estimated. If possible, reflect and make edits rather than pushing ahead now.
Libra
Where you stand with others may be a point of confusion today, dear Libra. Try not to overthink things now, and aim to be as fair and kind to yourself as you typically are with others. You may be wrestling with whether to pursue your desires or to remain cautious. Take things slowly but surely, and if you can, entertain your need to feed your imagination. Avoid making solid commitments and decisions, and aim to take nothing at face value just for the time being, and this is especially the case when it comes to health and work matters.
Scorpio
Others may seem a little pushy or undisciplined now, dear Scorpio, and you’d prefer to keep things simple and responsible. Complicating matters is a confusing influence that interferes with clear perceptions today. You could lack a game plan, or might discover that you underestimated the amount of time or resources you needed to complete a project. In love relationships, signals can be so mixed that it’s hard to clearly read a person or a situation, even with your considerable perceptive powers. Imagination can take you to a place of self-deception, or it can be channeled more constructively, such as into a creative pursuit.
Sagittarius
Focusing on the past mistakes or failures is a tendency today, dear Sagittarius, or guilt can crop up when you least expect it. Aim to change your perspective and treat these things as stepping stones in your growth process. Examine unusual thoughts that emerge now, but you may want to save discussion of these things for a time when you and others are thinking more clearly. When it comes to conversations with a significant other, you might end up missing the mark or misunderstanding one another just for now. Rhythms and patterns in relationships may be off, and signals are mixed. Try not to take this as a sign of something bigger than it is.
Capricorn
It’s best to take a break from pushing plans forward today, dear Capricorn. Your goals or visions may be clouded over temporarily. As a result, non-competitive and undemanding activities are better for you today. You may be feeling just a little out of step, as if you can’t quite express yourself with confidence or smoothness. It’s a better day for making adjustments and refinements rather than concrete decisions. Dream up the possibilities now, but you may want to wait to put things into action, particularly related to contracts, health, and work matters.
Aquarius
There can be some emotional see-sawing today, dear Aquarius, and with this much inner uncertainty, it’s best not to do battle with the outside world quite yet. Take your time coming to conclusions, as today’s energies tend to confuse more than empower. However, the adjustments you make now can lead to a stronger position. Leave important matters for a clearer day and avoid investing too much emotional energy into what you’re seeing now. Anxiety or guilt may interfere with productivity. Try not to let this energy seep into your personal interactions, as arguments now can reach stalemates. Sticking with what you do well can be helpful now. As the day advances, goals become clearer. You can also feel supported by a partner or friend.
Pisces
Relax, enjoy good company, or work on making adjustments and edits today, dear Pisces, if possible. The day is less than ideal for confident decision making or for pushing a plan forward. Try not to worry about a missed opportunity from the past, as this can only serve to frustrate. Resolve to be more prepared in the future. There is a defensive and self-protective vibe around you, whether this is coming from others or from within you (or both!). This can interfere with healthy interactions, and people can be self-conscious and not very spontaneous. Guidance and clarity may not seem readily available right now, but will return soon enough. Dream and imagine today, and save important conclusions for a better day.

Date & Time: 23 Jun 2015 2:35 pm
Event: Tr-Tr Mar Qnx Sat
Description: Transiting Mars Quincunx Transiting Saturn
We can be hesitant now, uncertain about whether to pursue our desires or fill our responsibilities. Enthusiasm can wane temporarily. Delays are possible, but might lead to important edits and adjustments.
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.

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 June 23rd:
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 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 life time).
