Steady energy is with you today for getting things done, dear Taurus, and this can come as a pleasant relief, as you’re likely to enjoy a quiet, normally paced day. You are seeing the value of small efforts, a step by step pace, and patience for long-term success. Good things can take time, and you are instinctively tuning into this today. This is a good day for making plans, particularly related to work or health, and fine-tuning details. Find an area of your life that can do with some organization and focus on it. You can quickly become pleasantly absorbed in a project or pursuit, especially if research is involved.
Gemini
This is a strong day for applying yourself, dear Gemini, especially to communications and creative pursuits. There is a nice air of competency and reliability surrounding you now, particularly in the way you communicate. You can be especially focused on coming to a balance in a relationship, and negotiations are fair and successful. The secret to happiness today is balance and patience. Today’s energies favor working in partnership and on a partnership. Romantic relationships can be strengthened today by shows of reliability and security.
Cancer
This is a good day for dealing with nagging issues around the home or with work and your daily life, dear Cancer, as you’re more inclined not only to see details that need sorting, but also to do something about it. A practical bent serves you well today. For some of you, there could be improvements or insights into health and habits. Efforts to shape up can be productive now. People can appreciate you for your logical mind right now, or you are putting it to full use in the work you do. Mental discipline pays off today.
Leo
There is strong energy with you today for mental persistence and clarity, dear Leo. It’s a fine time to focus on a pet or creative project and really make progress. You’re more able to see what’s truly worth pursuing, and what may not lead to much. This is not necessarily the most sociable days, but it’s a time when you can make a special, quality connection. A project or endeavor you took up in the last week of August might now get a second look. You could be interested in pursuing a course of study or fine-tuning skills. Making a mutually beneficial connection is possible today. Creative projects that require discipline can really benefit at this time.
Virgo
You have a special eye for details today, dear Virgo, making it ideal for getting your affairs into order, particularly related to home, family, money, and security. This is also a good day for constructive conversations with or about family. Others may be appreciating your spiritual maturity and logical insight. Emotional habits that hold you back may become clearer to you now. You could be focusing on organizing and straightening your home environment, and this can also lead to improved inner clarity.
Libra
You have a no-nonsense approach to your life today, dear Libra, and this can certainly work to your advantage. Focus on those things that truly need doing. You can be full of good advice now, and others could be turning to you for your insight. Agreements and commitments might be made now. You can have serious thoughts today, but overall these are unlikely to weigh you down. In fact, you can feel quite satisfied to handle business or to sort some things out in your life.
Scorpio
This is a good time to sort out money or personal possessions, dear Scorpio. On an emotional level, you’re in a strong position to take stock of the resources you have at your disposal. You have a clearer vision of what’s truly valuable and worthwhile, and your resourcefulness can lead you to important conclusions. You are able to think ahead rather than concern yourself with immediate gratification. Avoid simply focusing on what you don’t have at the moment.
Sagittarius
There can be good, supportive rapport with others today, dear Sagittarius. Someone might be coming through for you. Socializing can be helpful and rewarding. You’re looking for reliability or loyalty more than anything in a friend at the moment. A moderate approach to people, and to your goals, is ideal for today’s energies. Working on yourself through self-improvement programs can be attractive at the moment, as you’re going through some restructuring inside with Saturn in your sign (until 2017), and with Mercury connecting harmoniously with Saturn today, you’re tapping into patience and self-discipline and making these things work for you.
Capricorn
Conversations today can be useful ones, dear Capricorn, with the planet of communications, Mercury, at the top of your solar chart and harmonizing with your ruler, Saturn. You are likely to be leaned upon or admired from afar, particularly for your sound mind and trustworthiness. Focus on tasks, if you can, that require discipline and order, or a narrow, precise focus, as you are more suited to these things at the moment. Tie up loose ends and tidy up areas of your life that may be causing you guilt or even fear/dread.
Aquarius
This is a good day for reassessing recent ideas or projects, dear Aquarius, with a clearer head and a stronger sense of what makes sense and what may not be quite as valuable. It’s also a fine time for solid work, beginning a long-term project, and cementing a business alliance or connection with an associate. Good news may arrive today through the mail or email, which can be school or studies-related, and possibly regarding travel. People tend to be a little more reliable than usual, and you generally have your priorities straight today.
Pisces
You could be brainstorming with someone today, dear Pisces, and coming up with some very workable ideas and plans. You are especially concerned with the details and practical side of conversations and projects or tasks now, and you may be reassessing or fine-tuning recent plans. Expressing your more responsible and competent or mature side can have tremendous benefits for you right now. You quite readily become absorbed in what you’re doing, and research or digging deeper into a topic or idea is especially attractive.

We can be feeling good about our work, obligations, and commitments, which are seen not as burdens, but rather as purposeful activities. Independent work is favored. We are more disciplined and efficient.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG

LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 13th:
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).
