Horoscopes
Aries

This is a time for stretching your imagination and taking part in activities that feed your mind and your spirit for adventure, dear Aries. If life feels a little confining, it can help to vary up your routine even in small ways, as you could be hungry for just a little more than the usual today. Higher education pursuits can thrive now. Interactions with others are inspired, so be sure to reach out and connect.
Taurus

With the Moon in your solar eighth house all day, dear Taurus, it’s a good time for finding answers to recent emotional dilemmas, largely because the pipeline to your inner world and deeper needs or desires is open today. For the most part, your imagination is serving you well today, although at times you could be seeing what you want to see. Even if you are keeping to yourself more than usual, there are many ways to express your feelings without having to articulate them directly. Ideally, you find some channels for self-expression that satisfy.
Gemini

There can be a stronger need for a partner or buddy being around as you get things done today, dear Gemini, even if their input is minimal. The Moon in your partnership sector all day tends to stimulate a feeling that life is a little better with two. If circumstances are such that you can’t buddy up, you’re inclined to think of others’ needs and agendas now, or of past relationships. This is a good time to consult with others, whether this is formal or informal, as you tend to come alive through one on one interaction, learning much about yourself through the mirror of relationships.
Cancer

You’re more inclined to see details today that you typically miss on other days, dear Cancer. This makes it an excellent time to focus on problem areas that need fixing, simply because the flaws seem to stand out. Approaching the day with this attitude will serve you well. It’s certainly better than turning a critical eye to areas of your life and letting problems get to you. Organize, re-organize, tidy, edit, and rearrange today. Tighten up daily routines and clear up clutter.
Leo

The Moon has moved into a sign that harmonizes with yours, dear Leo, and that represents “play” and creative or romantic expression in your solar chart. This brings out the natural showman in you, and generally points to good reception around you. Personal appeal is strong. You’re a little more invested in what makes you unique, and whether or not others are seeing you for these things. Thinking up ways to improve the more spontaneous, creative, and entertaining side to your life is appropriate now.
Virgo

The Moon has moved out of your communications sector and into your sector of home and family, dear Virgo, which should calm things down for you a little. With Mercury just recently changing direction and a number of other confusing influences on you, this can come as a nice relief. Look out for your needs to relax, rest, get comfortable, and boost your feeling of security now. We all need times when we self-nurture, and this can be one of these times for you. Familiar activities are attractive now, particularly if recent days have been hectic.
Libra

This is a day for staying open to changes and flexible in your attitude, dear Libra. You are more likely to be multi-tasking rather than focusing on one or two things with the Moon now in your communications sector. It’s important this week to get all of the facts before you jump to a conclusion, so keep this in mind with Mercury retrograde and our position in between eclipses. Your mind can wander today, making it difficult to focus on the tasks at hand, but it’s also quite possible that it takes you to imaginative places. You need days like this that allow for some freeform discovery rather than strict routine.
Scorpio

The Moon has now left your sign and emotions settle down, dear Scorpio. Practical rather than emotional matters tend to capture and engage your attention, more so than in previous days. Even so, there is still a tendency for some pie in the sky thinking, which of course is necessary from time to time, but may not always jibe with your practical mindset today. However, there can also be some inspiration to be found, particularly through a friend, lover, or even a child, that you might apply to a practical goal.
Sagittarius

With the Moon in your sign all day, dear Sagittarius, emotional energy runs high, and others are paying you more attention than usual. Attention to your emotional needs is appropriate now, but taking some moments to remind important people in your life of your care for them can certainly help keep the mood light and positive. Moodiness is a possibility this afternoon with the Moon square your ruler, Jupiter, but you can resolve to act from the heart as opposed to simply reacting to the world around you, and this will keep you in a good place emotionally.
Capricorn

You’re coming to the end of a Moon cycle, dear Capricorn, and this means you can truly use time to yourself to regroup and renew yourself emotionally. Try to take any opportunity you can to pamper yourself through peaceful activities, reflection, down time, meditation, or rest. This is also a time for thinking about those things that are not serving you well any longer, and for considering leaving the unnecessary behind. Circumstances may be such that you are better off functioning behind the scenes just for now.
Aquarius

This is a day for tuning in to goals that feed your need to feel more connected with the world around you, dear Aquarius. Reaching out to others is one way of seeking out more emotional satisfaction, and another way involves focusing on some of the dreams and hopes dearest to your heart. You could find that team work makes things a little easier today. You are looking for things you have in common with others, and you’re more likely to see goals and philosophies that harmonize with yours as a result.
Pisces

You are more aware of your responsibilities and obligations today, dear Pisces, and you might find that you’re under the microscope in some manner, as others tend to hold you more accountable, whether it’s for what you’ve done or haven’t done. You are generally comfortable with the image you are projecting now, and others may be turning to you as a leader. Ambition is stimulated, and you may be inspired to reach for greater heights.

Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqq Ura

There can be confusion, misunderstanding, or some level of chaos and uncertainty. Avoid money transactions or new business initiatives – it can be difficult to think clearly.

This is not an ideal time for publicity, promotion, or legal matters. We can experience injustices. We are less inclined to consider the consequences of over-eating, over-drinking, or overdoing in general. This is a time to show some restraint. Grandiosity is not appreciated right now, and excess doesn’t go over well either. With a little self-control we can learn about what truly makes us happy.
Date & Time: 19 Sep 2015 7:15 pm
Event: Tr-Tr Mon SSq Cer
Description: Transiting Moon SemiSquare Transiting Ceres
Date & Time: 19 Sep 2015 8:58 pm

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.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
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.
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
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
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 19th:
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).
