Horoscopes
Aries
There can be a growing feeling of being on top of work and practical affairs moving forward, dear Aries, with the Sun warming your work and health sector reaching out to Ceres in your career sector. Ceres has just recently turned direct in this house of your solar chart, and Pluto will do the same in only a week. These influences can point to forward motion in a career-related matter or project. One-to-one relationships are also in strong focus today, and you’re looking to create a stronger sense of equality with a partner or special friend. A fortunate connection might be made now.
Taurus
Issues of equality and fairness can emerge on the job now, and in some respects, in the coming weeks, dear Taurus. You could find yourself in the position of mediator. In your relationships, a sense of adventure is building, and you could find that you bond more deeply with a special person by sharing activities, or even ideas, beyond the routine or ordinary. There can be a growing sense of excitement about what you might do in the near future. You might feel “on the same page” with, or approval from, a lover or significant friend, particularly about creative visions, personal philosophies, and happiness goals.
Gemini
Now or in the coming weeks, you may see an intimate relationship move forward, or support, financial or otherwise, coming through, dear Gemini. Today is strong for strength in family or in relationships with people who are “like family” to you as well. Exchanges in close relationships are helpful and rewarding. When it comes to romantic relationships, you can be more invested in fairness, harmony, and cooperation, and also more sensitive to imbalances if there are any. You may be working on a creative project or reviving an old hobby, and feeling empowered as you do. Today is strong for organizing or reorganizing an area of your life.
Cancer
Faith in a relationship or partner can be increasing now, dear Cancer, and this can be strengthening. There can be a nice theme of support in primary relationships, and for some of you, a newfound interest or studies can be pleasantly absorbing. This is also a good time for renewed interest in an old subject or project, and for brushing up your knowledge. A partner may provide valuable feedback, and there is creativity and fertility in your exchanges now. You can be especially sensitive to imbalances in your home life now, whether they are about family dynamics or atmosphere and environment of the home. This is pronounced today, but is also a theme in coming weeks. Matters of comfort, security, and harmony in your domestic life are in strong focus.
Leo
Work projects and/or health or fitness programs can begin to move forward, dear Leo, and motivation to get back on track is increasing. Today is strong for feeling effective, engaged, and in control. When it comes to learning and communicating, you can be a little more sensitive to imbalances, people with pushy opinions, and lack of harmony with peers. However, this is a strong period for catching up with acquaintances or siblings, refreshing your knowledge of a subject, and rekindling an interest in topics or projects that you’ve set aside for whatever reason in the past. Research can bring nice rewards now, and you may stumble upon old books, files, materials, and other treasures from the past that deserve a second look.
Virgo
Signs that a creative project, or romance for some of you, is moving forward can be with you now, dear Virgo. You might experience a renewed interest in a hobby or creative pursuit that leaves you feeling especially engaged and motivated. The need to create or to express yourself in your unique way can fill you with a stronger feeling of purpose. Today, and in many ways the coming weeks, you have a strong desire to take charge of money and business matters that you’ve let slide or didn’t have the time for. You are especially sensitive to imbalances now, and you may come to the conclusion that feeling on top of your practical affairs will improve your mood in general. This is a good time to go through past records and receipts and reorganize. You may discover hidden resources or find lost items in the process.
Libra
You could be feeling an increased desire to work on home projects or to bond with family now with Ceres direct in your solar fourth house, dear Libra, and in just a week’s time, Pluto moving direct here as well. Projects or endeavors on the domestic front that you may have lost some interest in or that stalled can now pick up steam again. A nesting urge is strong and growing. Today, you take more pride in your relationships but also your ability to take the lead. A desire to reinvent yourself in some way is with you, and this is only set to increase. You may be paying more attention to your manner, appearance, or image now and in the coming weeks. You can be especially sensitive to any hint that you are not valued for your individuality and who you are (rather than what you do).
Scorpio
This is a strong day for guiding and supporting friends, dear Scorpio, or for receiving a nice boost from others. Ideas generated now are particularly fertile and creative, but it’s the process of exchange that is most interesting to you now. Today and in the coming weeks, you could find that you’re rekindling an interest in old projects, topics, and mental interests, and this can really get you up in the morning, so to speak. Follow-through may be a question at the moment, simply because there is part of you that feels in limbo or at crossroads. In the next while, you may be especially productive in activities behind the scenes, and you may seek out some silence or time to yourself in order to do your work. The Moon is in your sign up until the last hour of the day, and emotions are heightened.
Sagittarius
Business and money matters are beginning to move forward, dear Sagittarius, and you’re likely to be feeling more and more effective when it comes to practical affairs. You’re also being recognized for your usefulness, and this motivates you to guide, help, and support even further. There can be a building desire to nurture and grow a business, project, or even an idea. This will be even more apparent after Pluto’s direct station a week from now. Today, you can be especially invested in your friendships and sensitive to any power dynamics that seem to be off. This can continue on some level for several weeks, but you can turn this into a big positive by paying special attention to building peace and harmony with friends and associates. It’s a good time to follow up on your connections and reconnect with people from your past.
Capricorn
With Ceres in your sign now in direct motion, dear Capricorn, you might find that you’re more frequently attracting attention from others, and that you have increased personal presence. You are projecting an especially wise or nurturing quality, and others can be drawn to you looking for guidance or support. Next week, Pluto in your sign turns direct as well, reinforcing a feeling that you’re moving forward. You could be reconnecting with people from your past in the weeks ahead. Today, you are taking special pride in your ability to handle your responsibilities and obligations. You can be especially sensitive to imbalances of power with a boss, parent, or other authority figure, but fortunately, others are tending to recognize you as a leader.
Aquarius
You could be feeling a little sensitive today, finding it difficult to detach yourself from frustrating opinions expressed by others, dear Aquarius. However, you’re also in a strong position for learning and you are likely to be reconnecting with topics, ideas, and studies that you enjoyed in the past. This can be exciting and motivating. Going back over materials in order to strengthen your understanding of an area of interest, study, or work can be especially rewarding and effective now. You’ll find that your ability to recall and absorb information is strong in the weeks ahead. Intuition is strong today, serving you exceptionally well.
Pisces
You are likely to feel increasing motivation to draw up plans for the future, share ideas with others, and connect with friends now and this week, dear Pisces, and this can lead to a stronger feeling of purpose and meaningfulness. Projects that have stalled or that were shelved can move forward or seem more doable now. Today is strong for research of virtually any kind, but it’s also a good day for your social life and close relationships. People in your life seem to be supportive, or at the very least, they give you space to do your own things.

AIR WEAK

LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 18th:
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).
