Horoscopes
Aries
This is a day in which you may be itching to do, feel, or experience something new today, dear Aries, with the Moon in your adventure sector aligning with Mars. You might also feed a hunger for knowledge, but you can be especially desirous of taking action, so you could be learning through experience or meditating in motion. You could find it easier than usual to go after what you want today, and it’s likely that few if any will interfere. You might get fired up about a belief or idea today. You’re a natural leader, making it an opportune time to take the initiative.
Taurus
Emotions can be inflamed but internalized today, dear Taurus. This can be an especially passionate time, and possibly an exciting day on intimate or emotional levels. Daydreaming of intense or passionate experiences can figure strongly for some of you. This can also be a good time for productivity, research, and analysis. The need for more glamor, mystery, or emotional excitement in your life is strong. Matters of ownership can also be a big issue now. You may be more sensitive to imbalances of power or to inequalities today.
Gemini
The Moon aligns with Mars in your opposite sign today, dear Gemini, which can point to more demands placed on you from other people or animated interactions and feelings in your relationships. For some, a significant encounter might occur. Important players in your life may be demanding attention or holding the power now, at the very least over your attention. The truth is, you’ll get a fuller picture of your own issues if you take another’s point of view into account. Any conflict stirred now may be more about what you’re not accepting in yourself than about other people or outside circumstances. Although overly hasty or rash actions taken now could rebound on you, some healthy risk-taking could simply help you to break the routine and get you out of a rut.
Cancer
This can be an especially productive time for work, health, and practical affairs, dear Cancer. You’re focusing on the flaws, problems, and details, and completely ready to take action to correct and manage issues with the Moon in alignment with Mars in your work and routine sector today. This can be a great time for taking action on a health or work matter, although some of you might be a little too impulsive now. There can be a strong desire or sudden need to become more organized and efficient. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively.
Leo
The Moon transits your sector of entertainment and romance, dear Leo, and aligns with Mars there, firing up your passions in a mostly pleasant way. Your desire nature and your emotions are cooperating beautifully just now, which increases your resourcefulness and independence. You can more confidently rely on your instincts now, and you react well to competition, although there can be some impatience or impulsiveness to deal with. Not much can get in your way today, except perhaps concerns about finances, so take advantage. There can be a stronger need for applause or approval, and you are quite likely to receive the attention you seek.
Virgo
You are especially hungry for nurturing, support, and comfort today, dear Virgo, and especially willing to work for it or to go out of your way for these experiences. You can feel particularly motivated to make personal improvements. Your senses are working overtime now. Your feelings are all fired up today, and your need for action is stirred, although you may not know exactly where to direct excess energy. It could also be a rather passionate time, simply because, for the time being, you tend to be ruled by your passions. Seek out ways to improve your home life or enjoy family activities if possible today.
Libra
There can be a busy, buzzing theme to the day, dear Libra, as the Moon and Mars line up in your communications sector. There can be many projects and activities that you are juggling now. There can be more spontaneity in your communications, which can be a good thing if you can benefit from some courage to express yourself, but could also lead to impulsive speech or responses. There can be a nice feeling of camaraderie with a partner or friend. Working on a communications project with someone can be especially successful right now. You are more in tune with your natural impulses, and less inclined to think things through before taking action.
Scorpio
This can be a strong day for feeling comfortable in the world of the five senses, dear Scorpio, for tending to prized personal possessions, and for producing in work and career. A business or money matter may now grab your attention, and you may be especially interested in taking action on a problem area. This can be a very resourceful time when you are inclined to make the most of what you have. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others today, so that conflicts might arise surrounding issues or respect or ownership. However, you’re also very concerned about quick resolutions.
Sagittarius
Today is strong for taking the initiative, dear Sagittarius. It’s an emotionally courageous day with the Moon in your sign and aligning with Mars, also in your sign, and perhaps a little impatient at times as well. You have the self-confidence and backbone to go after what you want, generally without backlash or interference from others. You are more resourceful and less demanding of people around you, and others respect your boundaries and independence now. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize or oversee projects, to take the lead, particularly on creative levels, and to pursue your desires, such as romantic ones. Your emotions intensify and you instinctively desire change and adventure.
Capricorn
With Mars and the Moon aligning in your privacy sector today, dear Capricorn, much of your energy is channeled into private matters, and a lot can be going on behind the scenes! You may not be content to only think about the past, but you might also want to take action on a matter that has been brewing for some time. Emotional energy must never be underestimated, as it can impact physical energy tremendously, up or down. Use this time well by focusing on renewal, regeneration, and healing. Much of your energy is channeled into private, family, and home matters.
Aquarius
You may be itching to do something new and unusual today, dear Aquarius, and to take the initiative. While you tend to be quite independent-minded today, group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals at the moment. You could be in the position to defend someone or a cherished ideal. You might benefit from sharing some of your knowledge or expertise with associates. Your insights are progressive, and others can appreciate your input. Take the time to do little favors for others that boost their spirits. New ideas abound now.
Pisces
This is a day for feeling large and in charge, dear Pisces. You can have a rush of desire to take action on a business goal or responsibility, and can feel especially strong and content once you’ve accomplished something practical. The Moon is in your career and reputation sector and aligns with Mars, and if you feel things heating up in your career or feel a strong desire to set some long-term goals, you’re very much in tune. Feeling as if all eyes are on you can in fact give you a jump-start or wake-up call to areas of your life in which you’ve been a little slack. For the most part, you can do well under pressure today.

ARIES STRONG

SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.

Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper-sensitive, gullible.

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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES

We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE STRONG

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 (EDT) on March 28th:
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).
