Horoscopes
Aries
With a total Lunar Eclipse occurring in your sign tonight, dear Aries, today and surrounding days (and possibly even weeks) can involve big epiphanies, personal triumphs, and wonderful discoveries about your life plan, body, and attitude/outlook. This can also be a time when a close relationship makes headlines in your life. Some of you may be putting an attachment behind you and embracing the joy of independence. If you’re in need of an attitude makeover, this is the time. Even with inner contradictions, this is a time for recognizing a need for positive change. We may be asking controversial questions or coming up with especially unusual ideas. While ideas can be a little disjointed or disorganized, there is much in the way of creative power today, so don’t dismiss epiphanies occurring now.
Taurus
With a Lunar Eclipse occurring in your privacy sector, there could be hidden things and secrets coming to light, dear Taurus, perhaps uncomfortable discoveries or sudden epiphanies about your true feelings. Whatever does surface can in fact set you on a more authentic path. We all want to get over issues that are bringing us down, but the first step is to clearly identify the problem, and that is what is going on in your life these days – getting in touch with what’s bothering you or what’s missing from your life. Lunar eclipses such as the one occurring tonight tend to force an issue, bring illumination to something that’s been hidden, or mark a turning point in our lives. For you, it could be feelings about a past matter that become undeniable, or a previously hidden or secret matter reveals itself. This is a time for making the decision to either embrace or let go of a situation, relationship, or powerful feeling. Put fears aside and deal with whatever comes your way with self-honesty, as it’s the only thing that will help you to move forward in the way that serves you best. Be careful not to speak of something too soon, however.
Gemini
The Lunar Eclipse occurring tonight brings a situation to a head or to light, dear Gemini, and new goals can come to you, or old ones can suddenly take hold. There can be drama in your social life now. Love affairs, children, friends, and group associations are areas of life that can involve revelations, unveilings, and important discoveries. Watch carefully, however, for stretched truths and exaggerated information coming in. Keep in mind that Mercury is still retrograde and all the necessary information you need may not be available yet. Otherwise, use the courage of this eclipse in the bold sign of Aries to express yourself proudly. Be careful that you are not holding onto someone or something because you’re afraid to let go or to let people down. This eclipse is about being true to yourself and to others by extension.
Cancer
A Lunar Eclipse can expose something that was previously hidden, dear Cancer, and with it occurring in your public sector this time, you are in a position to be noticed more than usual. While it’s wise to protect your interests and privacy, this can also be about a reward, award, or culmination of a project that brings you recognition. This can be a strong time for past efforts being rewarded. Emotions are heightened today, and feelings that may have been brewing under the surface for some time can suddenly emerge. For some of you, there can even be talk of a new career path or life direction. Something buried from the past is coming up for inspection, and it’s time to handle it once and for all.
Leo
The Lunar Eclipse occurring tonight can stimulate a confrontation with previously buried, important issues in your life, dear Leo. This lunation generates a lot of energy, and for you, mental energy. Take your time to process and digest new information coming your way now, as well as the feelings stimulated now because they can be exaggerated in the moment. Take in now and take action later once everything has been processed. Epiphanies can be significant enough to change your perspective or even your life path. Announcements, awards, or completed projects can generate quite a bit of attention. Publishing is often associated with this position. Commitments to travel or educational and learning endeavors may come up for inspection.
Virgo
Energy today is powerful creatively but also a little scattered, dear Virgo. A total Lunar Eclipse occurring tonight can shake up areas of our lives where we need to awaken. For you, the cosmos wants to awaken you to matters surrounding sharing, give and take, power dynamics, ownership, intimacy, and finances. There can be epiphanies about financial and emotional support – and dependencies. Settling debt, receiving money or credit, a shuffling of money sources, or a surprising relationship matter are possibilities now. Taking a good look at where you stand in terms of power and sharing in your closest relationships may be in order. Ideas emerging and epiphanies occurring now are important and can lead to important changes in your life.
Libra
Revelations and epiphanies are likely now with a Lunar Eclipse occurring in your opposing sign (Aries), dear Libra, and they could seem new when in fact they’re about things that have already been brewing, buried, or hidden. These could have been a very long time coming, and ultimately help you to break free from difficult and negative patterns in your life. Something about you or a relationship could be unmasked or exposed now. Tonight’s Lunar Eclipse can stimulate big discoveries or epiphanies about your own feelings or about a close relationship. There could be new clients, invitations, and sudden interest in your services or simply your company! There could be an announcement or commitment made. Give off good vibes, and allow things and people to come to you. Epiphanies about an important relationship can lead to changes – a partner may be needing more from you. Don’t resist too strongly if part of you knows that what you’re clinging to is no longer serving you well.
Scorpio
Try to be as flexible as possible when it comes to changes, especially with your routines and work, dear Scorpio, as this will make transitions much easier. Allow them to happen, or better yet, make them happen. Knowing your heart about a matter will always help, and that’s what tonight’s Lunar Eclipse will help reveal. There could be an ending or culmination of an important project occurring now for some of you. Desires can come on with great force right now, and while you should certainly listen to them, take your time with their pursuit, as emotions are heightened now and it can be difficult to be objective. Dwelling on the past is fruitless, but looking at the past from a different angle can serve you well. This is a time for health matters, deadlines, and scheduling or time management issues reach a head or turning point. Listen to your body’s signals now.
Sagittarius
You might be making important discoveries related to hobbies, creative pursuits, children, and long-term happiness goals this week, dear Sagittarius, with a Lunar Eclipse occurring tonight and shaking up the status quo. A friend could push you in the right direction in terms of finding good outlets for your creativity and self-expression, travel, education, or even romance. A romantic or creative affair can be illuminated. Whatever emerges now is about learning to clear the air and to be more honest with ourselves. A big turning point can happen in your social life, or with a creative project. With Lunar eclipses, new information or emotions about old matters or pre-existing issues comes to light. They’re not usually about new beginnings, but more about settling matters and seeking balance.
Capricorn
Lunar Eclipses tend to mark turning points in our lives, as we make emotional discoveries of issues that were hidden or buried, dear Capricorn. The one occurring tonight brings illumination to family, home, and personal matters for you. Once we face those things that we’ve ignored or brushed aside, we have a greater chance of moving on and forward. This can mean house repairs, family drama, and possibly even career changes that affect home life. If you’ve been focusing too much on your responsibilities to career and the outside world, then you’ll get the message that you need to find a balance with more quality attention to your personal life. This is the final eclipse in your solar fourth house for many years to come, so that the push to resolve an ongoing problem can be felt strongly now.
Aquarius
Feelings that have been swept under the carpet can emerge this week with tonight’s Lunar Eclipse, dear Aquarius, and they can surprise you with their force, and possibly their truth! This is a time for releasing, purging, and making changes once you’ve digested this “new” information. This Lunar Eclipse occurs in the bold, assertive sign of Aries and in your transportation and communications sector. You can experience a revelation of sorts, but you may want to avoid being too impulsive with sharing it. A writing or learning project can come to completion, there can be publicity or promotion playing a significant role in your life now, or stress over a looming deadline. Try not to be too hasty, both in movement and with communications. There is certainly a tendency toward emotional extremes today, but also good energy for doing something constructive with new insights.
Pisces
Revelations and unveilings are likely now and this week with a Lunar Eclipse occurring tonight, dear Pisces, and for you, these can be centered around money, ownership, valuables, values, talents, sharing of responsibilities, and power dynamics. Lunar Eclipses tend to mark important turning points in our lives and stimulate epiphanies. There can be new discoveries or, more likely, illumination of matters that were brushed aside or left hidden. Whether it’s an important revelation about business or a situation that calls for standing up for yourself, this is a time that demands important changes and adjustments. Watch for incomplete information, but listen to your instincts as well. Look for clues that give you a new perspective on an old issue. Today, questions are raised, leading to new discoveries.

LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 27th:
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).
