Horoscopes

Aries

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early today heralds a period when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated, dear Aries. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. Circumstances around you can force these matters. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. Over the coming weeks, it’s time to take charge of your health, self-care initiatives, and work. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a difficult work situation or job, then the matter may be forced now. This is also a favorable cycle in which to set up a home office or to organize the home. The urge to sort out little problems, iron out flaws, and eliminate waste or excess is strong, so use this extra energy boost to clear up the clutter.

Taurus

This morning’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your sector of romance, creative self-expression, recreation, children, and hobbies, dear Taurus. Events occurring now and in the coming weeks set you up for new beginnings in one or more of these areas of life. Romantic inclinations are highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others in the coming weeks, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel bolder than usual. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, this is a time for making important changes. You are likely to attract positive attention from others, especially romantically speaking, but this can also happen on a creative level. You may be starting a new hobby or picking up a current one. Creative writing is favored now, and for some, children can be in stronger focus. There might also be a focus on fun and entertainment within the home environment. Communication becomes very important with loved ones, but it’s also important that today and tomorrow you listen closely to your intuition.

Gemini

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early today clears the way for new beginnings, dear Gemini, but it might mean letting something go, particularly a situation that has been holding you back. The weeks ahead are a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, as well as issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. This is due to the fact that this eclipse occurs the bottom of your solar chart, and it’s a cosmic nudge to fill the inner “well”, find your roots, and learn your worth. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is likely now. The coming weeks are ideal for making long-range plans for the future, for any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities. There can be some drama on the domestic front, but this ideally leads to a fresh perspective or new beginning. Family life can be animated today, but this energy might play out in your inner world, with vivid memories, and important discoveries – even breakthroughs. You may be facing up to something that requires attention – a neglected area of your life that now seems quite important to revisit. This can also be a a time of heightened feelings about your income or personal possessions. A Mercury-Neptune connection today really helps you to open up your mind and use your imagination.

Cancer

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early into the day launches a favorable cycle in which to learn something new, make new contacts, and find new ways of communicating, dear Cancer. In the coming weeks and even months, you are likely to find new opportunities for learning and communicating or new avenues for self-expression. In some cases, this is about getting around. This might be prompted by an event that forces the issue. You feel more at ease in social situations, and more in charge of the details of daily life, as well as more effective at developing mental rapport with others. It’s a time when you will be especially aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. The weeks ahead are excellent for taking care of daily tasks with increased and renewed energy, although you could be feeling overwhelmed initially. New modes of transportation could also open up to you. A shake-up or some level of drama can occur now that motivates you to let go of outdated conditions, things, and situations, and this clears the way for new beginnings. Unusual or unexpected events can surround your siblings and neighbors, or learning endeavors. News can come that steers you in a new direction. You might suddenly want to take a course or begin a new project. Good energy is with you for communicating your ideas and feelings – personal influence and powers of persuasion are especially strong. Many Cancers feel the energy of an eclipse on a physical level. Today, take in, feel, and observe.

Leo

A Solar Eclipse occurs early into the day, dear Leo, and while eclipses tend to stir up activity, considering the last New Moon was in your sign, overall this will be a calmer, less visible period for you. Nevertheless, important decisions may be required of you in the next few weeks, particularly revolving around personal finances and business. There is heightened sensitivity to your physical environment. Circumstances are such that you may be starting fresh with finances or in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. You might also be discovering ways to increase your income or your earning potential. It is also a wonderful time for earthy, tactile, and comforting activities that help you to feel more grounded and connected. If you have been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t been serving you well, this is a time when circumstances might force the matter. New beginnings are in order! However, today there can be some disorienting feelings and you are symbolically still in the dark, so that you should take in and observe before taking action.

Virgo

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early into the day is in your sign, dear Virgo, and it helps pave the way towards big personal changes in the coming weeks and even months. This is a time for reinventing yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a powerful impression on others. Circumstances can prompt a rethinking of your general attitude towards new beginnings, bravery, your role as a leader, your independence, and the ways you instinctively defend yourself. This is a time when you can be braver and enjoy new experiences. There can be a tendency to dig in your heels and display your independence now, which may be necessary for personal growth, but care should be taken to stay true to yourself in the process. Get in touch with what you truly want, envision it, and go for it, but wait for the dust to settle. However, for some, there can be some decreased initial energy, and it’s important to take the time to rest up if this is the case. You’ll know more about what changes to make as you go forward.

Libra

You are beginning a cycle that focuses on replenishment and rest, dear Libra, although you’ve been feeling some of this energy already in recent weeks. The Solar Eclipse that occurs very early today launches a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual or emotional batteries. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of others’ needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find emotional peace of mind is marked. You may be feeling like you’ve done the rounds, so to speak, and need more time to yourself, or with yourself! If you’ve been neglecting your psychic, spiritual, or emotional needs, then circumstances can force you to pay attention to your inner world now. Your imagination and dreaming mind are very rich and active now, and it’s important to nurture these things. There can be a flooding of energies today which can be a little disorienting, but going forward, you’ll get a stronger sense of what changes need to be made. If you require more solitude, then you’ll find ways to get it. If there have been toxic connections to your past, then you’ll be figuring out how to break ties. This can also be an important time for discovering emotions about your career, public standing, and reputation.

Scorpio

There is a Solar Eclipse that occurs early today, dear Scorpio, that places strong focus on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense over the coming weeks and even months. Events and circumstances are such that they serve to clear the path for new beginnings, particularly related to how you fit in with friends and the community. You become more acutely aware of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus during this cycle that begins today. Some level of drama may be present now, as it serves to shake up your social life in order to pave the way for important changes. Friends can enter or leave your life. Group or team work and activities can be in strong focus. Reflect on how you’d like to steer your life in the coming weeks, particularly in terms of your “place” in the social side of your life. This is a good time for formulating goals that have to do with future, long-term happiness and those that give you a stronger sense of mission or purpose, aligning yourself with important causes. For many of you, there can be emotional excitement and discoveries surrounding education, learning, publishing, and travel.

Sagittarius

The Solar Eclipse that occurs early today brings heightened awareness and sensitivity to your standing in society and your professional goals, dear Sagittarius. There can be feelings of excitement or uneasiness, depending on how you handle change, surrounding career, reputation, and life path matters now. Going forward, it will be a good time for developing new business plans and goals. A sense of renewal and re-invigoration with regards to your career goals is on the horizon. Changes in work, bosses, authority figures, reputation, or your own authority and influence can occur now and in the coming few months. It’s a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting as a professional and to society, with an eye on improvement. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. You can become strongly aware of the need to bring more structure or rules into your life, or you might decide you need to improve your performance and general practices in order to better follow certain rules. This is a phase in which you are especially busy with career and/or public responsibilities. Emotions are strong over financial and intimate matters for some of you. Drama or commotion stirred now paves the way to new approaches and new beginnings. You might have more courage now to ask for a raise or for a better position. Try not to be hasty, however, and avoid falling back on old, outdated behaviors – a fresh approach is required now.

Capricorn

A Solar Eclipse occurring early today falls in the sector of your solar chart that rules your spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in your life, dear Capricorn. This can bring surprising events into your life that serve to jolt you out of your usual routine. You are making a break from the past in some manner, which will help clear the path for future growth and development. Avoid making important decisions just for now. Instead, take in and draw upon your intuition, which can serve you exceptionally well while the dust settles. However, a pleasing change of pace is in your near future. There may be opportunities to broaden your horizons through travel, education, or other form of adventure and life experience. There could be chances to publish or promote your work. Meeting important people through these experiences is possible. Transportation issues can also be in focus, with new avenues opening up for getting out and about. This eclipse might also bring some of you into contact with lawyers, professors, or publicists. It’s also a good time for exploring the world, or new perspectives, with a partner. Today is powerful for imagination, but new action should be delayed until emotions settle.

Aquarius

With a Solar Eclipse bringing powerful energy to your intimacy sector early today, dear Aquarius, this is a time of empowerment and discovery. You have a chance to see your own inner workings in new, important ways. If you’ve been too dependent on others, or the opposite, too proud to ask for help, then you’ll see and feel it now and you’ll want to make changes. The period ahead is good for focusing on issues of intimacy and sharing, as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others as well as your own internal motivations in the coming months. Intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a relationship or a financial arrangement, then this is a time for coming to terms with the dependency. It’s a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened, but so are suspicions, so watch for this. Use this positive blast of energy to sort out financial support issues or emotional entanglements as you go forward. It’s also good for quitting bad habits, especially dependencies, or altering unhealthy ones. As well, if you’ve been going it alone, this can also be an important cycle for reaching out and finding the support you need.

Pisces

With a Solar Eclipse bringing powerful energy to your partnership sector early today, dear Pisces, negotiations and one-to-one relationships are highlighted now and over the coming weeks. This is a time for beginning new relationships or re-defining existing ones in important ways. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. You become increasingly aware of the need for someone significant to rely upon, or for the need to balance and improve your relationships. The coming weeks and months are strong for making contacts and for making something public. If you have been holding on too tightly to a difficult relationship, then circumstances now will push the matter. Romance is well starred during this cycle with the Moon forcing attention to feelings about people in your life. When a Solar Eclipse happens, we are still symbolically in the dark, so that today and the next few are good for paying attention to news coming in and feelings emerging, but taking new action should wait at least a few days. Today’s Mercury-Neptune parallel stimulates your imagination and can create a greater need for expressing yourself.

VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS

EARTH STRONG
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
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: 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 September 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).
