Horoscopes
Aries
There is strong energy with you today for cultivating relationships, dear Aries, particularly with friends and networks, but also for bringing a pleasant element of surprise to a partnership or love relationship. There is a good spirit of openness, adventure, and progress. This can also be a strong time for inventive new ideas, dreams, wishes, plans, and possibilities. Look to friends and group activities for opportunities to mingle with someone special. Inviting energy is with you for all things romantic and social, but also for shopping and finances. You are attracted to new-fangled, improved, and progressive objects, people, and ideas today!
Taurus
There is an open, progressive spirit to the day, dear Taurus, and to your personality as well, particularly in your professional or public life. You are in the position to charm superiors, and perhaps a few people in your personal life as well. There can be an opportunity to draw upon your inner wisdom in order to solve a problem. You’re bringing inventiveness and unique insight to the day, and you may very well get credit for it. You are not one who is known to easily part with traditions and tried-and-true methods, but today holds just enough detachment that you’re going in that direction – not abandoning these things, but trying out something new – and it’s working for you.
Gemini
This is a strong “people” day for you, dear Gemini. You are especially willing to see the other side of the story, and this is endearing to others. Personal appeal is strong today, largely as you’re expressing your unique qualities. Experimenting with ideas can bring you opportunities, and so can networking. Learning, sharing, promoting, and publishing can be in good form today. You seem to intuitively know future trends, enabling inventive, timely ideas and solutions. New friendships are possible for some of you, and refreshing or renewing current connections can be in focus for others. This can be a fine day for business efforts, particularly those that involve promotion.
Cancer
Negotiations can be successful and compromises can be reached quite easily today, dear Cancer. People around you seem to be willing to move past problems. There can be a happy intimate connection, a financial advance, or a workplace improvement that puts you in a fine mood now. People on the job may be seeing and appreciating you for your unique input. Problems might be solved, not necessarily through great effort or focus, but through a general willingness to let things go and put things behind you. Freedom from an obligation might be experienced by some, which comes as a nice relief!
Leo
There is strong energy for moving a relationship forward, and connecting with others who inspire you mentally, dear Leo. There can be a mind-expanding experience today. Relationships are enlivened and refreshed with an especially open approach to one another. You may be attracted to someone with an interesting mind, and attracting others to you who appreciate your unique way of thinking. Interactions with others and the ideas that are generated can be exciting and inspiring. Some of you could be partnering up for business purposes, or finding that sharing activities leads to better use of your time.
Virgo
There is an especially positive, progressive approach to practical matters today, dear Virgo, that benefits you greatly. Solutions to problems are unlikely to be traditional ones, or they aren’t arrived at from a conservative mindset. Positive vibes while pursuing your daily routines or in your work are likely now, and quite possibly, social opportunities can result. You may have new ideas, or discover alternative methods, regarding health, nutrition, or fitness. Relationships benefit from an open, accepting approach to desires and needs. Cooperation is natural now. The Moon continues to transit your domestic sector all day, and while there can be some early-day worries to deal with, your good mood pulls you out of a funk.
Libra
There is wonderful spirit to the day that suits you well, dear Libra. Creatively speaking, you’re in good form, and others are drawn to your quirkier, more unique qualities, which you’re happy to share. There can be good exchanges with a love interest, friend, or child. Whether the topic is typically taboo or dull, you are able to turn it around with an open-minded, fun approach. It’s a good day to extend an invite, although you might be on the receiving end. You are in some way breaking the chains that have bound you to past, restrictive behaviors in the ways you deal with others, and while this is true in a general sense with long-term guest Uranus in your partnership sector, today it feels especially freeing and positive.
Scorpio
This is a good day for coming to agreements with others, dear Scorpio. You have added panache in your dealings, and know exactly how to approach situations. Family, home, and work matters can move forward pleasantly – you are open to new ideas for improving your situation as well as trying out new and improved ways of relating. You can approach domestic matters and routines or work in a new way. Alternative methods or approaches to health and wellness deserve a second look today. Mixing things up at home can be fun now, and you may very well discover a new interest that excites you. If you want to extend an invite, today is strong for doing so. It’s also good for moving past a grudge, resentment, or insecurity.
Sagittarius
Socially, you’re in wonderful form today, dear Sagittarius. The Moon is in your sign all day, harmonizing with Venus and Uranus, which happen to be connecting in a pleasing way in sociable, communicative sectors in your chart. This is a good day for romantic matters, learning, sharing, and connecting in general. You feel freer and more spontaneous than usual. There can be interesting things to learn through a sibling, classmate, or friend. There can be much enjoyment derived through learning endeavors. Updated technology or new gadgetry can open up a new channel of communication for you, or you may discover a new friend now. Be sure to mingle today.
Capricorn
You are especially open to new ways of doing the usual things today, dear Capricorn, and you can have some fun in the process. It’s generally good for financial matters and even for shopping or acquiring new things. You might even discover a new taste or interest. Home improvement efforts can be successful now. You are a little more daring and willing to experiment with designs, ideas, and ways of relating to others. Practical, business, and financial affairs can benefit from some fresh thinking. Inventive solutions to problems are yours to discover. Romantic matters can move forward, and on a social level, things speed up just enough that you’re feeling more at ease with others and a little flirtatious as well.
Aquarius
There is easygoing energy with you today for relationships, dear Aquarius, with the Sun and Juno connecting by parallel boosting your connections with business and money people, and Venus in your sign in harmony with your ruler, Uranus, increasing your powers of attraction. People are appreciating your special qualities more than usual. There can be good news received, but it’s also quite possible that something you communicate, or how you deliver your message, is helping you achieve what you desire. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests can work well for you now. Communications and learning are favored. This can be a strong day both personally and professionally.
Pisces
The month ahead is a big one for you, dear Pisces – one in which a personal re-invention of sorts is not out of the question. It starts off with fresh energy – the kind that allows you to let go of some of your inhibitions in order to pursue your desires. Some of you could come across interesting news or even a revelation. This is a time for growing and improving situations, relationships, attitudes, and projects through a spirit of openness and a progressive approach. With increased freedom and respect, relationships flourish now.

Description: Transiting Venus Sextile Transiting Uranus
This is a good time for experimenting and improvising, as well as trying on new ways of expressing ourselves and relating.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
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: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on March 2nd:
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).
