Horoscopes
Aries

People tend to be stuck in their own issues right now as Venus changes gears today, dear Aries. Venus turning direct this morning marks the beginning of the end of ambiguous relations and feelings, but during the shift, it can be very difficult to read others’ signals. Today and in the coming weeks, you’ll gain some clarity in partnership, love relationships, matters surrounding children, creative projects, and personal finances. A creative project that has been in the works but delayed will move forward for some of you. As these areas of life clear up, you gain more confidence about where you stand, how you feel, who and what you value, and what brings satisfaction to your life. There are some details about the past that need clearing up, and this is likely to happen naturally and gradually over the coming month, but focus is now on moving ahead with more confidence.
Taurus

With your ruler, Venus, turning direct this morning after a six-week retrograde cycle, dear Taurus, you’re likely to begin feeling more clear-headed and decisive in the days ahead. With its station today, however, there can be some ambiguity, particularly when it comes to boundaries in relationships and perception of value. You may be over- or under-valuing a person, thing, or situation just for now. In the coming weeks, you’re more likely to know what’s most important to you, who and what you value, and where you stand on a family or home issue that had been left hanging or delayed. You will be regaining your confidence and relationships get back on track. You are less likely to be looking behind you and more likely looking ahead.
Gemini

In many ways, the day can feel a little confusing and signals may be crossing, dear Gemini. This is largely due to Venus’ station as it shifts gears from retrograde to direct. Changes are in the works, and they’re very positive ones, but the shift itself can blur perceptions. Over the coming weeks you’ll find more satisfaction in your work or a project, communications, or transportation matter that’s been delayed resumes and straightens out. Some communication mix-ups or computer problems can come to resolution as well, although Mercury’s retrograde beginning the 17th could bring other delays. Romantic and creative matters can move forward and feel lighter or more satisfying. The focus is less on the past and more about where you’re headed.
Cancer

After six weeks of retrograde motion, Venus turns direct today, dear Cancer. Financial problems, delayed income or projects, and confusion over property can clear themselves up in the coming days and weeks. A home or family matter reaches a turning point for some of you. Relationships tend to be more predictable. Even so, the change itself can intensify problems temporarily, or at least we perceive things in this vein, and relationships can be tricky. It’s better to avoid making big purchases or depending on verbal agreements about money. The Moon moves out of your privacy sector and into your sign this afternoon, and emotions color many of your choices.
Leo

Venus has spent the last six weeks in retrograde motion, and the last five weeks retrograde in your sign, dear Leo. This morning, Venus turns direct and in the coming month will move over the same degrees it did while retrograde, offering you second chances and new perspectives. Personal matters that have challenged you in recent weeks may resolve themselves, and stuck areas of your life can unclog and move forward. You can become clearer about which projects you should advance and which may have run their course. Misunderstandings or complicated relationship matters may also clear up, and you have a better understanding of what and who you want. Even so, confusion is likely as the shift happens today. Avoid making or breaking commitments until the fog clears.
Virgo

With Venus turning direct today, dear Virgo, complicated relationships or feelings may begin to make sense and the road ahead seems to be a little more certain. In the coming weeks, educational or travel plans become clearer and financial delays or issues sort themselves out. Matters that have left you on the fence or that seem stalled or stuck begin to iron out and are nudged forward. A decision about a matter of the past now may seem easier to make or it may even become a moot point. Feelings of being stuck in the past or hung up on a matter or relationship that is no longer viable might resolve. For now, however, there can be some confusion as the shift happens, as with all stations, whether it’s a shift to retrograde or direct. Save very important decisions for a clearer time.
Libra

Venus has been retrograde for the last six weeks, dear Libra, and today begins to move forward. As your natural ruler, you may have felt to be in limbo at times during the retrograde, and perhaps a little misunderstood. Changes are in the air, and they are positive ones, but your perceptions are unclear as the shift occurs, so take your time before coming to any concrete conclusions. With an upcoming retrograde of Mercury in your sign beginning on the 17th, you’ll be doing more review and reflection. However, in the coming weeks, emotional entanglements or complicated friendships are likely to begin to clear up. There can be significant improvements or clarity in relationships, both platonic and romantic.
Scorpio

Venus ends its six-week retrograde period this morning and begins moving direct, dear Scorpio, which can slowly bring more clarity and spontaneity to your relationships and career or public image. However, on the days of and surrounding stations, like today, there can be some confusion or disorientation, making it especially important to avoid making sweeping (especially public) statements or life-changing decisions. Keep a low profile. Boundaries in relationships and perception of value can be confused now. In the coming weeks, you’ll be enjoying more clarity in a partnership, to a partner’s frame of mind, in your reputation, with career, and to your faith in your own powers of perception. People you work with or for tend to be more amenable and warmer. Love relationships are on the mend. The tendency to look back instead of forward is leaving you. Nevertheless, as Venus retraces its steps in the coming weeks, you might be sorting through recent events and coming to more definite conclusions about them.
Sagittarius

This morning, Venus ends its six-week retrograde cycle and turns direct, dear Sagittarius. Slowly but surely in the coming weeks, there is likely to be more clarity in your life, particularly related to friends, relationships with co-workers, pleasure through travel, and education. Friendships can get back on track, and so can long-term plans. However, for now, important conversations, meetings, or connections are best left for another day when things are steadier. Take your time when it comes to forming and voicing your stronger opinions, as well as with affairs of the heart. As well today, the need to tune out distractions so that you can get something important to you done can become obvious. You can bring something especially creative to work or practical affairs now.
Capricorn

Venus shifts gears this morning, dear Capricorn, ending a six-week retrograde cycle. The shift itself can distort perceptions, but in the coming weeks, more clarity is coming to personal relationships, money, and career matters. Love relationships grow warmer or affection is more explicit, so that the signals you’re reading are sounding loud and clear. A new feeling of clarity and forward motion will come to your love life and financial status. If you’ve been procrastinating on settling your finances, you’ll be more inclined to tackle them. Today may still involve some fog or uncertainty. Take your time drawing conclusions. Watch for excesses and wait for a clearer time to make big decisions.
Aquarius

There can be some ambiguity in your relationships today, dear Aquarius, with Venus stationing. However, as Venus is now turning direct after a six-week retrograde cycle, what you want will become progressively clearer as you move forward. This is especially the case in a partnership with Venus spending most of its retrograde in your partnership sector, but you are also likely to see improvements in your general mood and family or home life. Home projects move forward. Stalling on making a commitment may end.There can be some clogging in the airwaves just for now, so it’s best to save very important decision making for another day. Otherwise, there is good energy for creative activities, especially writing. Research can uncover important and helpful information.
Pisces

Today’s interactions can be a little confusing, dear Pisces, as boundaries seem to be blurred, particularly with co-workers and friends. Try not to make (or break) any commitments that you might later regret, as things are not especially clear at the moment. However, with Venus direct and as it gains speed over the coming days and weeks, love and pleasure become more straightforward. You’ll find it easier to increase intimacy in a relationship than it has been recently. Financial matters that have been confused of late (particularly regarding boundaries and responsibilities with shared or joint money and possessions) begin to tidy up. If you’ve been questioning how satisfied you are with your daily life or work in the past weeks, you’ll begin to see solutions going forward.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS

BALANCE OF MODES

LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 6th:
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).
