Horoscopes
Aries
There can be some feelings that you need to rush through things early today, dear Aries, with your ruler, Mars, in minor challenging aspect to Uranus. Take the space you need and allow moods to settle before taking on important work. Consider allowing a partner or good friend to help you out now, even though your first instinct tends to be to rely on only yourself. Watch for abruptness in speech and movement. The Moon moves into your communications sector this afternoon, and while the pace is unlikely to let up, you may be feeling a little more on top of things.
Taurus
Watch for hastiness in the morning, dear Taurus, when you might feel some pressure to get something done quickly. This is especially important with people in your life. Watch for misunderstandings. The Moon continues to transit your sign until late afternoon, and emotions are intensified and hard to ignore, after which feelings tend to settle. Even so, there can be a sense that you’re on your own on a matter or there can be some money concerns. Good counsel may be available, however, in the latter part of the day about work or health and habits.
Gemini
The Moon continues to move in the background of your solar chart until late afternoon, dear Gemini, after which you tend to come alive emotionally, craving more stimulation and recognition. Watch for impatience this morning, when the temptation to push something is premature. You could feel rushed or pressured, and could feel conflicted between tending to personal or family needs and dealing with social needs. Try to listen to your own rhythms and natural energy levels. The month ahead may begin a little slowly, but is likely to draw many opportunities to you, particularly on personal and emotional levels.
Cancer
The month ahead is filled with opportunities, dear Cancer, but is most fortunate for your own motivation levels. It’s a fabulous time for cultivating mental interests, learning, and connecting. This morning, watch for impatience in movement and speech. You may want to answer to your own natural rhythms and pace, but you could be pressured into feeling you need to force an issue or move more quickly on something you’re not yet prepared for. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector late afternoon can stimulate a real need for more time to yourself.
Leo
October is set to put any feeling of stagnation behind you, dear Leo. Opportunities on business and creative levels are likely to emerge now, and enthusiasm levels skyrocket. This morning, watch for impatience. If you’re feeling restless, listen to any signals that you need a change of pace and make it happen. It can be difficult to deal with anything that feels especially restrictive or stodgy now. The Moon’s move into your social sector late afternoon is a happy one, although you may feel a little guilty initially if you’re no longer as interested in putting effort into your work or current projects.
Virgo
Mars in your sign these days, continuing throughout October and into November, can certainly give you a shot of energy, dear Virgo. Today, Mars is challenged by a minor aspect with Uranus, and you can feel this as restlessness. This morning you have low tolerance for situations that feel restrictive. Others may be introducing changes that don’t sit well with you, as you’re intent on following your own personal rhythms and don’t much like answering to others’ demands just for now. Avoid taking on too much, too quickly now. The Moon’s move into Gemini late afternoon brings on a stronger need to buckle down and get things done.
Libra
It can be easy for others to hit a nerve with you this morning, dear Libra, with a Mars-Uranus aspect affecting your privacy and partnership sectors. Past frustrations can be triggered by someone’s behavior, an issue of inequality, or outside pressures to get something done more quickly than there is reasonable time for. The Moon’s move into your adventure and spirit sector late afternoon is a helpful one, even if your desire for a change of scenery is delayed. Avoid scattering your forces and, as much as possible, answer to your own instincts and rhythms.
Scorpio
The morning’s pace can feel a little rushed, dear Scorpio, as Mars and Uranus clash in your social and work sectors. You could have a difficult time taking directions, preferring to answer to your own authority. Avoid shortcuts which can be costly. Find ways to set your own pace, as you can be feeling temporarily out of sync with others’ energy levels. The month ahead is powerful for opportunities, particularly on social and communications levels, and in centered moments today, you are likely to feel rising enthusiasm about upcoming projects.
Sagittarius
You are at your happiest and most adjusted today if you are able to do something creative, interesting, and perhaps a little bold, dear Sagittarius. However, you’re also feeling a little “under watch” and some pressure to follow some rules. Try not to let this discrepancy drive your behavior or keep you in a state of restlessness. Focus on what needs doing, and resolve to spend more time doing your own thing when it’s truly possible. Centering yourself can in fact bring you to inventive places. The Moon’s move into your partnership sector late afternoon can pull you out of a state of mind that pushes productivity. You may be seeking out social stimulation or companionship now.
Capricorn
This morning, watch that emotional restlessness doesn’t drive your behavior, dear Capricorn. Mars and Uranus are in minor conflict, and this can stir up feelings of frustration with restrictive circumstances and people. Haste truly makes waste right now. Aim to take things easy and remind yourself that you have time! Give others space and do the same for yourself, if it’s possible. The month ahead can be a breakthrough one with Pluto, a long-time visitor of your sign, moving into beautiful aspect with lucky Jupiter, creative and loving Venus, and energetic Mars. You are likely to be feeling a growing sense of excitement and invigoration.
Aquarius
You are likely to be craving mental stimulation today, dear Aquarius, and this morning, could be feeling a little underwhelmed in this department. Watch that inner restlessness doesn’t lead to impatience or the taking of shortcuts that may eventually cost you time and energy. As well, be a little more guarded with what you say or how you express yourself, as impatience with things can be translated as impatience with people. As well, it can trip you up, either physically or figuratively. As the day advances, you’re likely to feel less sensitive to what you can and cannot do, and more in tune with your own desires. The Moon moves into your sector of play and creativity late afternoon, and your mood tends to lighten.
Pisces
The month ahead can be a breakthrough one when it comes to motivation and a sense of really moving forward with a purpose, dear Pisces, particularly in the relationship department. This morning, however, there can be some nagging feelings that you’re not stimulated enough. Watch that restlessness doesn’t lead to wastefulness, particularly with money. The Moon’s move into your sector of home and family late afternoon can certainly bring on a craving for more familiarity and cure any tendency to wanderlust. This is a time of the lunar month for reconnecting with places, people, and situations or feelings that are comfortable and familiar.

LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS

We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

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 October 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 life time).
