Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon is in your sign all day, continuing to put the emphasis on your personal needs, emotions, and independence, dear Aries, but today, it may be a little less pressured. There can be some strain if someone in your life is objecting to the time you’re putting into a project or your personal plans. If there’s any truth to this, try to slow down a little or make some adjustments. There is a lot of energy for work and health programs in the coming weeks, even if today it’s more about the world of feelings. You are gathering big ideas and may feel a strong sense of building excitement for upcoming projects.
Taurus
Excitement is building for creative projects, hobbies, and love relationships for some of you, dear Taurus, with energetic Mars and expansive Jupiter in your creative solar fifth house. As they move towards an alignment in the coming weeks, motivation levels only continue to increase, and you can be filled with ideas and plans. There is promise or a hint of something big to come. Today, a little more privacy, some solitude, and time away from demanding or competitive atmospheres will do you good as the Moon continues to pull your attention to behind the scenes matters.
Gemini
There remains vibrant, independent energy surrounding you today, dear Gemini, and possibly your social life as well. Even so, there is building motivation and excitement surrounding family and home life these days, and it’s only set to increase in the coming weeks. This is a powerful time for redecorating, reorganizing, rearranging, or even moving for some of you, as well as for spending more quality time with family and/or building a home base that inspires you. Today can involve a small dilemma if your social life is interfering with other areas of life. A balance should be sought now.
Cancer
There can be a buzz of excitement surrounding you today, dear Cancer, particularly involving career or life direction and goals. Even so, there is a growing sense that you may need to find a better balance between your personal and professional lives. Commitments may be questioned. Matters revolving around learning, connecting, and communicating are stirring their own excitement, and this is only set to build in the coming weeks. Take note of big ideas and plans, play with them, and see where they lead. It’s not as important to know all the details right now – it’s more about possibilities now, so honor the creative process.
Leo
The Lunar Eclipse last night has likely stirred a real sense of adventure and of possibilities in you, dear Leo, and this excitement continues today. You can feel hungry for new feelings and experiences, and at the same time feel confident that opportunities are opening for you, although there may be some balancing work that needs doing if you’ve overcommitted. There is also building excitement on business and practical fronts as energetic Mars and expansive Jupiter move through your solar sector of finances, resources, and natural talents. These planets are moving towards alignment, exact in a few weeks, and you’re likely to fill with ideas and plans as they do. A sense that you’re moving towards something big is motivating you now.
Virgo
Courage is building these days, dear Virgo, and you can feel truly excited about new possibilities. This energy will be even stronger after the end of Mercury’s retrograde on October 9th and as Mars and Jupiter move towards an alignment in your sign. This is about courage to be yourself and to express yourself creatively and boldly. Today can stimulate a need to tend to money matters, particularly if there’s been some reshuffling of financial sources or new expenses to deal with. Even as independent as you’ve been feeling, this is also an important time for looking around you for others’ talents, input, or resources that can help further your plans.
Libra
Some of you could be feeling pressure to commit or to put more energy into a relationship, dear Libra, but your need for independence is strong as well now. A compromise should be sought. The Lunar Eclipse that occurred last night is a cosmic push to better understand your relationship needs, and now it’s time to sort out your next step. Nevertheless, you’re still encouraged to look at the past for answers. There is building excitement about matters of the past for some of you and private or secret matters for others, and this is only set to increase in the coming weeks.
Scorpio
This can be a day when you feel a little overwhelmed by your commitments, dear Scorpio. Otherwise, there is a sense of building excitement about your social life and future plans. You have good team spirit, but you are also motivated by your peers to improve or up your game. Ideas abound now, and it’s important to let the idea creation process work over the coming weeks, and not worry too much about the details of your plans just yet – these will come later. Right now, let your mind wander a little when you get a chance. Sort out your daily routines and find a better balance of attention between doing and resting.
Sagittarius
Warm and complementary energy is with you now, dear Sagittarius, with the Moon bringing excitement to your creative and romantic worlds, but also some building motivation to your more practical or professional concerns. Strong energy for both work and play should continue for some time. While today you may need to straighten out areas of your life where you’ve overcommitted or poured too much of your energy to the detriment of other life departments, there is nevertheless a sense that you’re going somewhere and that big opportunities are emerging. Let your imagination go when it comes to work or life path goals – the details of plans can be filled in later. Right now, it’s about inspiration.
Capricorn
While home and family life capture your attention now, dear Capricorn, you are also experiencing building excitement for new subjects and interests, and this is only set to expand in the coming weeks. It’s important to let ideas grow and play out in your mind now, as energies with you now are more about inspiration than process. The details and refinements to your plans can come later. Today, it’s a good idea to work on finding balance between personal and professional matters, as areas where you may have overcommitted can seem glaring now. Fortunately, you have loads of energy for making changes and improvements.
Aquarius
There continues to be a buzz of excitement in your life after last night’s Lunar Eclipse, dear Aquarius, and many of you are experiencing a learning or communications breakthrough. Even so, if you’ve overcommitted to the point that your daily life is suffering or you don’t seem to have enough time to grab new opportunities emerging, you’re best off dealing with this now. There is also building excitement in your personal or private life these days, and this is only set to increase over the coming weeks. Opportunities to expand your income are possible for some of you. Emotions can be stirred now that demand some sort of action, and you can be feeling more and more passionate about your plans.
Pisces
If you’ve been putting too much energy into practical and business matters to the detriment of other life departments, dear Pisces, you’ll feel the need to make changes now. Even so, it’s also a time when your emotions are heightened surrounding financial and earning matters. There is a building feeling of excitement when it comes to relationship opportunities and fulfillment through partnerships with you now, and this is only set to increase in the coming weeks. You can feel that you’re growing and improving, and that your relationships are evolving as you do.

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.
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
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 28th:
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).
