Horoscopes
Aries
You are learning a lot by observing rather than jumping into action with the Sun in your solar twelfth these days, dear Aries. Today’s energy can be slightly on the challenging side as you can have a sense that someone is quietly working against you, or you can wrestle with some guilt about a matter that you didn’t handle well in the past. Generally speaking, this is a time for settling your debts and obligations, and for letting go so that you can move forward with less guilt and more freedom. Aim to rid yourself of unnecessary baggage and regrets. The Moon in your adventure sector is encouraging you to move forward and on.
Taurus
Your mood is one part playful and two parts serious today, dear Taurus, which can baffle the people around you and perhaps even confuse yourself! A tendency to stress over little things is with you now. As such, you might want to approach the day with as impartial an attitude that can be mustered up. There can be a feeling of urgency about getting things done, but rushing will not cover the flaws. Slowing down and making refinements will do the trick, and luckily, this is exactly what suits you best. Take things easy, be gentle on yourself, and sort out conflicting feelings today.
Gemini
One-on-one interactions can be a little more emotional than usual today, dear Gemini. While you may be communicating with acquaintances with an easygoing attitude, relations with loved ones can involve some defensiveness or guilt-ridden overtones. Confusion or conflict about where you are headed may be an issue now. Wait for tomorrow if you have to bring up something important to discuss, when energy is smoother. In fact, you may have moved on by then!
Cancer
If you are able to tune out distractions, which admittedly can be difficult to do today, you can accomplish a great deal, dear Cancer. This is a day when your eye for detail can be both a pro and a con, depending on how you handle your discoveries. Your ability to spot flaws increases, and this way you can hone in on exactly the things that need improvement and work on fixing them. Try to avoid seeing the world around you for its flaws and then stressing about it. A good part of you simply wants to enjoy life and avoid the problems, but it can be hard to get to that state of mind right now!
Leo
Find ways to truly unwind on your breaks today, dear Leo, as you’re in need of emotional refreshment. Try to let go of some of the intensity, even if you feel that it helps drive and motivate you, in order to take a load off. Feelings can be conflicting today, but being on a fence can stimulate you to make changes and improvements. While you may want to avoid new financial decisions or initiatives today, your thinking on these levels improve as soon as tomorrow.
Virgo
You could be looking for extra reassurance today, dear Virgo. While relationships are stronger than usual, making executive decisions is not your forte for the moment. Some uncertainty is likely, and you would be wise to use today and tomorrow to get into better touch with your deeper needs. Center yourself, for in the coming weeks, it can be very difficult to discern which desires are truly your own, as you tend to absorb the desires of others as your own. Look within for answers. Surround yourself with familiar people, objects, and situations, as this will help.
Libra
This can be a hectic day, particularly as you may sense that others (or circumstances) are getting in the way of projects, dear Libra. Juggling your own personal interests with your obligations can be difficult as both are compelling. Your daily routine may be more difficult to get through than you’d like. You are especially curious today, but your enthusiasm might be misinterpreted as intrusive, particularly if it doesn’t take place face-to-face, so take a little extra care to get your written message right. Any tension felt today can point you in the right direction for making improvements. Look for ways to simplify your life.
Scorpio
You’re more interested in building on what you have than taking on new things today, dear Scorpio. These days are strong for personal recognition – for your personality, not necessarily your worldly accomplishments. The inner entertainer is to the fore. However, today, you take more comfort in sticking with familiar things and people. Any activity that grounds you and reminds you of your connection to the earth is appropriate now, even if others are encouraging you to do a little more.
Sagittarius
The Moon is in your sign all day today and tomorrow, dear Sagittarius, and this brings buried or shelved emotions to the surface, perhaps even in an urgent fashion. You are more sensitive to the atmosphere around you, and your desires might seem like immediate needs. Before rushing to fulfill them too quickly, try to process your feelings. While it seems as if you know exactly what you need, with a deeper look, you might discover that these sudden desires are about something else altogether. Feelings may seem to block or conflict with your recent plans, which should prompt you to adjust your course rather than abandon ship.
Capricorn
With the Moon in the sign behind yours today and tomorrow, dear Capricorn, this can be a time for tucking yourself away in some manner. Find some quiet time to absorb recent events, even if you are called upon frequently today. Emotionally, you’re not as equipped to deal with pressures and demands, and decision making requires more time than usual. You may be bringing some level of closure to a project or a situation, and possibly even an attitude that has kept you from succeeding. This a time for making assessments and recognizing what should stay and what should go.
Aquarius
There has been a stronger focus on practical matters and the material world these days, dear Aquarius, and today, you’re likely to consider how your larger dreams and visions fit into recently made plans. You might attract people to you who share or enjoy your unique perspective, but it can be hard to know where to put your energy. Any roadblocks encountered now can in fact assist you in the long run, as long as you don’t give up too easily. Make refinements and adjustments that take into account your ideals, as you’re unlikely to be satisfied with any endeavor that you can’t proudly stand behind.
Pisces
Conflicting feelings and desires are likely today with a quarter Moon occurring this evening, dear Pisces, which seem to pit professional and personal interests against one another. You might feel a little lost or off-track today, but this is a temporary feeling, and in fact can help motivate you to make the necessary adjustments to put your plans back into motion. Professional matters are a big concern and interest today, and so are responsibilities. You may feel a little swamped, but if you slow yourself down enough to prioritize, you’ll be able to tackle what really matters first and let the rest fall into place as you go along.

Description: Transiting Moon Sextile Transiting Pallas
There is a good ability to successfully combine logic and intuition, and to understand problems taking into account the human element. There is sensitivity to people’s issues now. Cooperation. Effective, sensitive decision making.

PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
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 (EST) on March 1st:
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).
