Horoscopes
Aries
A relationship can be pleasantly surprising or open today, dear Aries, or you could simply be especially open to new experiences and attracting opportunities to you through this positive attitude. You have more courage to do something different, creative, and unique. Letting go of unhealthy expectations of others comes easily today, and you may be feeling fresh and free as a result. For some, a surprise attraction may be part of your day; or a partner could bring a pleasant surprise into your life. People are attracted to your unique and progressive qualities. Some of you could be interested in trying on a new style or other update to your appearance, and others may be discovering new ways to express your more playful and creative side.
Taurus
This is a strong day for emotional breakthroughs or happy energy that opens you up on an emotional level, dear Taurus. Family relations can be improved, particularly with an open attitude. As well, there can be creative problem solving in your domestic world. Emotional blocks free up. There can be a pleasant memory or connection made with someone, a sudden attraction, and unusual or progressive tastes and ideas. Getting rid of clutter in your home can be especially helpful for improving your outlook, as you can feel lighter and freer. Of course, this can also play out on an emotional level – letting go of emotional or spiritual “clutter” can help you move forward and embrace new opportunities rather than cling to things you no longer need.
Gemini
There is a pleasing need for change today, dear Gemini, and even small change can improve your outlook. You are attracting, and attracted to, different people and experiences. This is a day for feeling freer and for getting over recent emotional hurdles. The desire for something new can stimulate you to push boundaries in a gentle, pleasant way, especially with friends or in your communications. This can lead to nice opportunities. With Venus and Uranus in harmonious aspect, we are slightly detached emotionally, and this makes it easier to forget problems temporarily and can also build courage to try different things. There could be opportunities to reconnect with old friends or classmates, and possibly neighbors for some of you.
Cancer
An open and progressive attitude towards your practical affairs, including money and career, brings rewards today, dear Cancer. You could be updating technology or methods in order to improve your life today, and you’re certainly attracted to new or different products and solutions to problems. Thinking in terms of change, growth, and progress makes the most sense, and you may in fact feel a little more courageous about trying new methods and perhaps leaving outmoded ones behind. Social contacts may lead to new business ideas, and shopping for some of you could turn up something fun and inspired. There can be surprise elements involved with work or reputation matters that are quite pleasant. Less baggage may lead to more confidence today, so think in terms of what might be better off left behind.
Leo
Venus in your sign is in harmony with Uranus today, dear Leo, and this can stimulate a freer, more breezy attitude or outlook that attracts others to you. You’re especially charming now as you ease your way around, although you are also a little noncommittal at the moment. This is one of the easier days for naturally expressing affection since Venus’ retrograde, which occurred mostly in your sign. You seem less weighed down or burdened. This is a time for improvising and enjoying yourself as you do. Loosen up, let things flow along, and embrace new experiences and small changes. Your desires can be unusual and different today, leading you along new paths.
Virgo
While you’re still a little withdrawn these days, dear Virgo, there is strong energy today for making connections. However, much is going on under the covers now, and it’s a great time for discovering new feelings, desires, and needs. Today is good for freeing yourself from negative thinking or from attachments that no longer serve you well. Your attitude towards taboo or private matters tends to be lighter. You can be feeling very open, spirited, and in the mood to give of yourself now, even if it is in private or even anonymous ways. Your awareness of the more hidden elements of any given situation is strong today, but you are less sensitive or private about these things so that they are easier for you to acknowledge, and possibly even to share. For some of you, there may be a release from an old obligation that makes you feel a little lighter.
Libra
The desire for change can propel you forward today, dear Libra. You are looking forward and willing to leave something you no longer need behind in order to welcome new energy into your life. Liberation is possible in some small yet meaningful way with your ruler, Venus, in harmony with Uranus. You, a partner, or a friend are bringing elements of surprise into relationships now. The major key to enjoying this energy is to drop unhealthy expectations and to accept others as they are. Teaming up can bring rewards. New interactions can be exciting and even slightly unnerving but in a good way, and new life can be breathed into current connections.
Scorpio
Today brings especially fresh energy into your life, dear Scorpio. You are looking for company with people who don’t burden you with expectations with detached Uranus connecting with Venus, your partnership ruler. There is good energy with you today for stimulating conversations and social pleasure, but also for professional and personal networking. The general atmosphere is friendly and progressive, as well as a little detached. For best results today, be open to new ideas, approaches, and methods. This is especially so for work, health, and daily routines, but can also help your close relationships. You are more interested in making creative changes and applying new ideas than climbing the ladder, which ends up turning heads anyway.
Sagittarius
Your friendships assume more importance in your life now, dear Sagittarius, and today you’re bringing something new to the table. Relationships are easier, lighter, or less burdened today, and you can feel quite inspired by others now. Your tastes are a little exotic now. Opening up adds to enjoyment, and creativity can blossom. Unexpected pleasures and enjoyment can be part of your day. A change of pace is in order, and can lead to positive new experiences. It’s quite natural to let go of recent frustrations and pressures, and to move forward. Your personal appeal is enhanced today.
Capricorn
There can be pleasant changes on the home front, or a sudden desire to change up your immediate environment today, dear Capricorn, as you’re in need of a refreshing change of pace. Energy is light and free, and you could be inspired to let go of negative thinking or relating patterns. There can be a feeling of emotional liberation, release, or relief. There can be a discovery about a relationship or an emotional breakthrough, and for some, a new way of relating that opens up your mind and heart. A relationship can reach a new level of intimacy, or you could understand your own inner workings better.
Aquarius
When it comes to your personal relationships, dear Aquarius, you are now focusing on the future and your vision is much broader. Today is strong for thinking outside the box, projects revolving around technology or New Age topics, and for teaming or partnering up. There can be pleasant surprises in your conversations or in your news feed. Your unique style and way of thinking are appreciated right now, and you thoroughly enjoy the forward-looking, open energy around you. There can be a new understanding or awareness about a person or your own needs, and this has a calming, happy effect on you. Be open to new ways of thinking, relating, and connecting.
Pisces
The chance to feel a little lighter or freer emerges today, dear Pisces, perhaps through a new method or opening, or a burden that leaves you. Relating to one another is easier minus the loaded expectations, and an open mind leaves a chance that a new and improved approach can enter it. You can come up with clever ideas on the job or revolving around practical affairs, such as money-making ideas. Letting go of fear can open up creativity and improve your health. There can be excitement about a new work project or health and wellness program today, and a sense that your life will improve as a result.

CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
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: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 22nd:
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).
