Horoscopes
Aries
While the mood is mostly playful and pleasant today, dear Aries, there is a tendency towards excess that may need to be tamed. In fact, it’s a good time to pull back, let go, and process recent events. The Moon is entering your privacy zone this morning, and a Solar Eclipse will occur in this zone just before the Moon leaves it and enters your sign on the 20th. That’s a lot of power behind closed doors and beneath the surface of things for Aries! You may be in an escapist mode today. Avoid putting too much off, but do take extra time to center yourself. This is another day of serendipity. Chance meetings or events that trigger important memories are likely now.
Taurus
Take steps to find ways to loosen up and relax, dear Taurus, with a Solar Eclipse just two days away and a stronger need for less pressure to perform. If this means removing yourself from tense or competitive situations, do so. It’s a good idea to center yourself so that decisions made in the coming days are from your heart. Unusual connections may be made now, and what’s communicated today can stir up all sorts of ideas or put you in touch with desires you never knew you had. For some, friendships are downright confusing, but do consider that you may not need to have all the answers for now. Try to enjoy the moment.
Gemini
Today and the next can be powerful for igniting your imagination, dear Gemini. A Solar Eclipse will occur in your career and life direction sector on the 20th, and it’s likely to clear the path for new beginnings and fresh energy on these fronts. For now, it’s better to take in and observe than to take action or start something new. Center yourself so that decisions made in the coming weeks are empowered ones. Today, there can be some tendency towards extravagance, and possibly speaking too much or too soon about a matter.
Cancer
Your energy levels are elevated today, but they’re also subject to fluctuation as you are more sensitive to the moods of people and the atmosphere around you, dear Cancer. Practical considerations tend to be thrown to the side in favor of visions and dreams. Although it’s definitely a strong time for thinking in big terms and visualizing what you want, the practical side of things do need some attention. Think and dream in a big way now, and leave the important details for a day when you’re in a more realistic frame of mind.
Leo
The day can bring up all sorts of interesting ideas and desires, dear Leo. Overdoing can be an issue later today, and this can be overspending, overstating, overeating, and so forth! There is a tendency to stretch yourself, but if it’s too far, then you’re sure to snap. The problem can be that you feel so capable and confident that you assume you can manage more than you actually can. Living in the moment can be a good thing, but there should be some mindfulness of the future. Today and tomorrow are excellent, however, for looking at recent events in a new way and for processing feelings. You may be on the verge of a big change.
Virgo
Feelings are unusual, intriguing, and swirling today when it comes to a close relationship or relationship needs, dear Virgo. Interactions may leave a lot to the imagination, and perhaps much that is up in the air. Your sweet tooth is also stimulated today, and this doesn’t only apply to food. In fact, your appetite for pleasure, whatever that means to you, is strong. You may be craving some pampering now, and this can manifest in a variety of different ways. There can be a pleasant feeling of dependence just now. Important changes are on the horizon that will alter your perspective about close relationships. For now, get to know what is in your heart.
Libra
You may be drawing upon your powers of observation and your intuition when it comes to making things work and solving problems, dear Libra. For some of you, an irritating issue somehow and mysteriously fixes itself, which leads to relief. Later today, there may be ego issues to deal with, or a sense that you’re not being appreciated for all that you do. Even so, you tend to want to solve the problem by doing more for others, and this won’t do you any good right now. Try not to overextend yourself or overdo things now, as is the tendency. You may be aiming a little higher for a connection or opportunity, and this can be a good thing.
Scorpio
Generally speaking, you are more comfortable with your role in life, your responsibilities, or your profession, dear Scorpio. As others see this ease and comfort, opportunities can come your way. Even so, ego issues may interfere with this a little, or you could be overshooting and timing is off. Otherwise, the day is intense for creative and possibly romantic affairs. While it’s not a time for getting definite answers, there is a lot of activity, interest, and intrigue going on that you can’t help but enjoy yourself. Uncertainty about a particular creative project or path will soon be a thing of the past. A Solar Eclipse in just two days is likely to clear the way.
Sagittarius
While this can be an interesting day for all things family and home, dear Sagittarius, and your imagination is stirred, later today, you may be feeling rather restless. Uncertainty about whether to get out there and enjoy yourself or stick around home or with familiar routes and situations can leave you on a fence. Be sure that you don’t end up provoking others with frustrating or frustrated behavior. As well, try to get to the heart of the matter rather than attempting to fill a void with things that won’t truly satisfy. Enjoy your stronger connection to your intuition today.
Capricorn
This is a generally good day for bringing a splash of imagination to your work and/or your communications, dear Capricorn. If you need to look at a problem from a different perspective, today is strong for it. Conversations can be easy or totally vague, depending on how connected you are to the person you’re conversing with! You may be forgetting things right now, so be a little more vigilant if possible, but do enjoy a freeform, creative approach to your mental world today. Even so, it’s important not to go over the top when broaching tricky subjects with a partner today. You may be feeling that anything goes with the mood you’re in, but pushing it too far can lead you into difficult situations.
Aquarius
Even though you can be feeling quite enthusiastic about recent projects and plans, particularly financial or business related ones, it’s likely that your plans need some dusting off or some extra attention before moving forward. With a Solar Eclipse set to occur in your personal resources/finances sector early on the 20th, this is a time for taking in and processing rather than pushing forward. Take things easy and let your intuition work for you. Today can be a little complicated with a partner or significant person in your life. You could be at cross-purposes now over spending or basic values and issues of respect.
Pisces
The Moon moves into your sign this morning, dear Pisces, and while this can bring your emotions very close to the surface, you’re likely to feel a little more focused on fun ideas and creative musings right now than your neglected personal needs. You might get a very wonderful idea, or receive news, that helps you to feel better about your life today. Family may be on the same page with you, or they could have your back right now. This day can be a tad restless, however, and if you don’t know where you’re headed next, this could drain you of energy. In fact, it’s important to take things easy with a Solar Eclipse about to occur in your own sign (on the 20th).

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 18th:
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).
