Horoscopes
Aries
This is a good day for bringing an open mind and heart into your close personal relationships, dear Aries. It’s a time for doing something you truly enjoy, and applying yourself. Support tends to be there when you need it most, possibly from an unusual or hidden source, although you’re in an especially independent mood. You are likely to feel quite brave today, particularly when it comes to expressing your ideas. You are ready to take the lead and to take on a challenge. In fact, you may seek out a challenge today.
Taurus
People are letting you do your own thing today, dear Taurus, and admiring you for going after what you want without apology. Your ability to use strategy successfully is enhanced right now. Relationships tend to be a little more passionate and ardent right now, and your personal appeal is especially strong. An intense discussion about your past or about private matters may be part of the picture. It’s an excellent time for cutting through appearances and uncovering something previously unknown or hidden.
Gemini
This is a strong day for getting things accomplished, dear Gemini, particularly with a partner or team. The more you open your heart and the more you accept the need for others, the better life gets. A love relationship can be enhanced by your willingness to communicate and allow someone to be themselves. You can experience intense, but pleasant, attractions today, and you may get a chance to repair or enhance relationships with authority figures and business associates. Work problems can be tackled with ease and motivation now, and ironed out quite efficiently. It’s a powerful day for research of almost any kind – there are treasures to be found, and help is available.
Cancer
Today is strong for pursuit of romance, dear Cancer, but also for all work-related matters – you can really apply yourself with purpose and intent. Putting your practical affairs together can come especially easy to you. Your stamina level is strong and you might find it easier to get the job done without having to waste extra energy. Show your integrity, faithfulness, and reliability. Others are appreciating these qualities right now, and fortunately, these are quite natural for you. It’s a generally good time for connecting or re-connecting, with a special someone.
Leo
You are especially spirited and self-expressive today, dear Leo, with your ruler, the Sun, in harmony with energetic Mars. You might embark on a little adventure of sorts that gets some adrenaline pumping. Romantic prospects are good, although in the coming weeks, you might be refining your approach to getting what (and who) you want with Mars soon turning retrograde. For the time being, a direct approach is favored. A decision to travel or to take up studies could be made quite suddenly. This is also a strong time for money matters – you can come up with a solution to sticky problems. The trick now is to share, as it’s time to build strong alliances. It’s also an excellent day for researching, editing, or otherwise going over business, health, and financial matters.
Virgo
People can be helpful today when it comes to sorting out a family or personal matter, dear Virgo. Work on or around the house can be especially productive, as matters seem to flow naturally and interference is minimal. Motivation is also strong, which of course is especially helpful. Allow yourself some time off from too much thinking, if at all possible, and instead follow your instincts. You can impress others today, and someone is likely to impress you as well. You can subtly improve a relationship by demonstrating your steadfastness – something that already come naturally to you.
Libra
Your mood is upbeat and positive today, dear Libra. Every problem has a resolution – that’s your attitude today. You can come to a very happy position if you collaborate with someone special. The enthusiasm stirred up now can take you far. The desire now is to truly live life, to feel alive and vital, through other special people. You’re coming across with subtle personal magnetism. Socializing on the job, or making connections through work, can bring opportunities into your life now.
Scorpio
There is a strong desire and drive to be efficient today, dear Scorpio. You can blaze your way through difficult problems or challenges. While you are perfectly content and in fact feel better off working independently with work and practical matters, your relationship needs are strong. It’s quite likely that you feel supported and secure, and this gives you the sense that you can rise above difficulties and manage your life well. Your own personal energies tend to harmonize with outside circumstances, making it easy to get a whole lot accomplished. You can feel on the same page with a partner, and one-on-one relations thrive with more focus.
Sagittarius
Your spirit for adventure is strong today, dear Sagittarius, even if part of you would prefer to keep to yourself. Efforts put forth now can somehow leave you with more energy than what you started with, simply because you’re feeling hopeful. Your ideas are genuinely creative right now, and you are both motivated and confident. There is a dramatic and competitive touch to everything you do today. If you are engaging in a competition of sorts, physical or mental, you are more likely to come out a winner. In coming weeks, you may be reevaluating your desires, with Mars’ retrograde. However, for now, a direct approach works wonders.
Capricorn
This can be an excellent time for being active, taking care of business, and learning good stress management techniques, dear Capricorn. Efforts taken around the home, with domestic projects, and concerning activities with family can lead to nice advances. Conversations with others today tend to be refreshingly frank yet also quite considerate. You could receive anticipated and positive word on a matter. Your energy flows naturally with minimal interruption. Feelings should be acknowledged now instead of pushed to the side, although you may very well feel the need to push for something you have let slide.
Aquarius
You can be feeling refreshed and a little braver or interested in seeing results than usual today, dear Aquarius. Use your natural smarts to maximize your capacity for healthy communication, as reaching out and connecting can bring unexpected opportunities right now. Financial planning and tending to your resources are both favored today as well. Look for ways to reduce waste, build alliances, and employ strategy when it comes to practical affairs, but trust your instincts of the moment on a social level today.
Pisces
Your enthusiasm is strong today, dear Pisces. Your potential to lead is powerful right now, and nothing needs to be forced – others seem to naturally follow. You might naturally take the lead on an important matter. Creative problem solving comes easily now, particularly when you apply your thinking to practical and professional matters. Today is also very strong for love matters and for comfortable intensity in your interactions with others.

PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
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.

.
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 26th:
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).
