Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon in your playful and creative solar fifth house encourages you to find joy in your life and in your relationships today, dear Aries. In many ways, the day plays in your favor, although it can be a little difficult to buckle down and get work done. Dissatisfaction has a way of making itself known, however, and this can be especially true if you stray from your duties or focus. Fears of commitment if they exist can be stimulated with people close to you, or in yourself, with the energy of the day. However, if you keep things light and give everyone, including yourself. some emotional space, it can be an enjoyable time. Take the time to review your feelings, but don’t let them distract you from your current path.
Taurus
Good energy is with you for family matters today, dear Taurus, as well as practical affairs. Later today, with the Sun in difficult aspect with your ruler, Venus, you could be feeling a tad underappreciated or even upstaged. If you can manage your emotions and exercise patience, this is likely to be a minor disturbance only. Even if you are not feeling totally in sync with others, this is a temporary thing. Your ruler, Venus, is about to enter a more expressive and romantic sector of your chart after a few months in an introspective sector. This will occur tomorrow and stays with you for a month, opening up channels for expressing love and inviting love into your life.
Gemini
The first half of the day can find you especially expressive and playful, dear Gemini. The desire to reach out to others is strong now, but keep in mind that if responses are not exactly as you wish them to be, this is likely due to today’s slightly awkward energy. Later today,you could be feeling a little uncertain, doubtful, or sensitive, particularly about words expressed and love relationships. Try not to decide that something is wrong simply because a person’s behavior has changed or due to an off our out of sync day. Sometimes we’re simply out of step and timing is off, and this is natural. It’s only when a pattern persists that a theme that needs attention emerges. There is good energy with you today for seeing problems in a new light.
Cancer
Even with the possibility of misunderstandings, this should be a fairly breezy day for you, dear Cancer. You could find easy energy for family affairs and a tendency to cling to familiar things, people, and situations, and this can be very helpful from time to time, as it allows you to reconnect with yourself and your needs. If hidden problems or other tensions surface with people close to you, try not to make too much of this. It’s in fact helpful to know about problems before they grow further. After spending an extended period in your finance sector, Venus will move to a more sociable part of your chart tomorrow, and this will bring generally easier energy for connecting with others.
Leo
While there is generally decent energy for connecting with others today, dear Leo, you’re likely to want to take things easy now. It can be difficult really getting yourself going today on any one thing, largely due to distractions and emotional states. A conversation tonight could be eye-opening. Mercury will be moving out of retrograde in just two days, but with the station occurring, you could be dealing with some miscommunications in the next few days. Keep this in mind today when you are a little more sensitive than usual. Intentions are likely good, but words chosen may not be perfect now.
Virgo
You are inclined to want a little more privacy or possibly even anonymity today, dear Virgo, with the Moon in your privacy sector all day. However, you’re still taking note of what others are doing. Later today, people can be more sensitive than usual with the Sun and Venus in minor challenging aspect with one another. This generally points to minor issues surfacing in our relationships, especially those we thought were over with or that have been operating in a hidden way. You may be feeling a little out of step socially. Venus is about to enter your sign (tomorrow) after spending many months in your privacy sector. This upcoming month-long transit awakens others to your natural charm, and you can expect to receive quite a bit of attention.
Libra
With the Sun in your sign in minor challenging aspect with your ruler, Venus, you could be feeling extra sensitive, dear Libra, especially when it comes to how much or how little attention they’re receiving. Your emotions can be up and down today if you pay too much attention to how others are responding to you. You might be especially sensitive and easily offended right now. In order to send out a positive message that receives positive attention, get into touch with your needs and desires, as you may not know exactly what it is you are striving towards. Also keep in mind that some off timing is normal here and there, and it’s typically very temporary.
Scorpio
It can be a little challenging to be productive today, dear Scorpio, or to truly know what you want. The Sun and Venus in difficult aspect tends to throw light on wants and needs that are inconsistent with what you feel you should do. At the same time, you are sensitive to imbalances as well, particularly in your relationships, and this may also play out on professional levels with Venus in your career sector for its final full day of this cycle. This aspect can act to pull up all sorts of unmet needs. It’s temporary and may be eye-opening as well. Venus is finishing up its transit of your career sector after a lengthy stay there, entering your social sector tomorrow, bringing friendly energy to your life for a month.
Sagittarius
While there can be some nice exchanges with friends or associates today, dear Sagittarius, there can be some issues with communicating what you mean or your inner message today. Certainly with Mercury’s direct turn in your friends sector on the 9th will help establish easier energy for communications going forward, for now it’s a good idea to aim to take some social awkwardness or miscommunications in stride. Differences of opinion can end up meaning something more. Reconsider whether it’s truly important to be understood on a matter before persistently pursuing it, or wait to present your ideas for a day when people are less self-centered.
Capricorn
You may be drawing upon your enormous powers of perception for the work you do or for understanding where you’re headed, dear Capricorn, and this can be very helpful. Your desires may rule later today, but pinpointing them can be difficult. You may be especially sensitive to situations that suggest you are unsupported by others, although you may need to adjust your expectations. Venus is coming to the end of a lengthy transit of your intimacy sector. Tomorrow, Venus enters Virgo, a fellow Earth sign, subtly enhancing your natural charm and style for the upcoming month.
Aquarius
Take a rest from pushing your plans ahead if this is possible today, dear Aquarius. This is a good time to collect yourself, although there can be some social ups and downs to deal with. Watch for hypersensitivity to others’ opinions of you or differences of opinion in general, which you may take too personally. Dissatisfaction in relationships can stimulate restlessness if you’re not dealing with the true cause. However, consider that miscommunication and misunderstanding of our own needs may be at the root of interpersonal problems. Off timing is temporary and unlikely to amount to much. There can be eye-opening understanding of past problems today, however, and this can give you valuable insight to move forward with.
Pisces
It can take more energy or time to complete usual tasks today, dear Pisces, simply because your emotions need some attention. You can be especially sensitive if people are not recognizing your efforts or services. Venus is coming to the end of a long transit of your work and health sector, and will enter your partnership sector tomorrow. This month-long transit will pull you up and out of your shell, and you’re likely to attract friendlier people and situations into your life. Today, tend to odds and ends left hanging on the work front, or with your routines and daily life.

Date & Time: 7 Oct 2015 3:43 am
Event: Tr-Tr Nep Pll Ves
Description: Transiting Neptune Parallel Transiting Vesta
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
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 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.
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
The modes are balanced.
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 (EDT) on October 7th:
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).
