Horoscopes
Aries
Now and in the coming three months, you’re in a great position to stand out for your unique viewpoint or creative ideas, dear Aries. Others tend to take particular note of your intelligence and insight. Your approach is a little more confident than usual, and this will be more prominent after Venus returns to your sign in direct motion (from April 28th forward). You are quick to assert opinions and share ideas. This morning, your ideas are particularly well-received. Contacts made now can be quite fruitful and may expand your perspective on a matter in a delightful way. There can be creative inspiration and good feedback on your projects.
Taurus
You’re likely to find people to be particularly reasonable and ready to talk through problems today, dear Taurus. Conversations may be animated but also very useful. The day can be very helpful for finding the right resources to resolve a conflict or a personal problem. Attention to the mental or emotional side of health is important today and can lead you to important discoveries. Now and in the coming few months, you’re in a great position to boost up your relationship with yourself – you’ll find time alone very productive – and with your private life. The Moon is in your solar second house all day, reminding you of your need for predictability and comfort. You’ll want to keep things simple today.
Gemini
In the coming few months, you’re likely to come in contact with especially interesting and unusual groups and people, dear Gemini. It’s a time for entertaining new friendships and ideas. You are attracted to nontraditional ideas and plans, or you may be experimenting with them. You’re likely to enjoy the designing and planning stages of projects now. This morning can be an excellent time for connecting and bonding with friends. With retrograde Venus in alignment with Pallas in your social sector, this is a time for reconnecting with old friends, seeing your relationships in a new light, and considering friendships with unlikely people. Cooperation comes easily today. Talking through tricky areas and topics, such as balance of power, can be helpful. The Moon is in your sign all day, and you need extra personal time.
Cancer
Now and in the coming three months, dear Cancer, you can thoroughly enjoy and benefit from making plans for your future, particularly along professional lines. Your work may involve more planning and design. This is a good cycle in which to cultivate good working relationships or business partnerships. This morning, this theme is in strong focus, and it’s an excellent time for formulating goals, connecting with people who can advance your goals, and good relations on the job or with people in high positions. With the Moon in your privacy sector all day, it makes good sense to slow down a little and build your strength. You would do best under the radar just for now.
Leo
This morning is excellent for learning, sharing, and guiding others, dear Leo, particularly through sharing ideas and viewpoints or experiences. In fact, you may be attempting to build bridges in this way. Now and in the next few months, you can enjoy new topics of interest and explorations that truly excite and motivate you. You can discover creative ways to combine duller tasks with more adventurous or spirited pursuits. You are better able to help people understand your point of view today, and the major key to this success is breaking out of outdated or automatic relating patterns and trying something new.
Virgo
Now and in the coming months, you’re in a particularly good position to resolve conflicts with others, dear Virgo, particularly about boundaries, intimacy, and differences in values. This morning is particularly useful for this, as well as for breaking through a barrier, although it’s important to note that with Venus retrograde until the 15th, there can be some diplomacy missing. Certainly, it’s a time for experimenting with ways you relate to others. You might be learning a lot from past experiences and bringing this new insight into current relationships. The Moon is at the top of your solar chart today, and you can feel more accountable than usual. In fact, sometimes this position involves a call-out, but other times it’s about reward or praise.
Libra
The coming three months are particularly strong for coming to a better balance or sense of fairness in a relationship, dear Libra. While this can take a lot of thought and discussion, it’s likely to be very worth your time. It’s a great period for problem-solving that gets results, particularly with others or through debate, consultation, or brainstorming. The first half of the day is a powerful time for connecting with others. Making peace with someone from your past or present can be in focus – the key is to break out of outdated relating patterns. Personal and social needs blend well now. The Moon in your spirit sector all day stimulates your desire for a little more freedom than usual from the routine.
Scorpio
Now and in the next three months, you are in a particularly strong position for organizing, planning, and sorting, dear Scorpio. You might thoroughly enjoy getting your daily life into better shape. You are also seeking out more balance and fairness in your work environment or working relationships. This is also a strong period for learning new skills and keeping abreast of new developments and methods that will help you improve your work or services. Today can be ideal for the enjoyment of the work you do or helping someone out. There can be a pleasant blend of social and work elements now. You have powerful energy at your disposal for problem-solving in the areas of work and health.
Sagittarius
You have nice energy with you now and in the coming few months for creative pursuits, dear Sagittarius, as your sense of harmony and balance is powerful. This theme is emphasized today, and there is also lucky energy with you for friendships. The practical side of creativity can be in good stead now, and you are particularly skilled at design or mapping out long-term plans. Others are attracted to your vision or your unique ideas. Talking through old problems with a new spin can be very useful now, particularly in relationships with children, friends, or lovers. This morning is excellent for doing design or creative work. Unusual people or attractions can figure strongly now.
Capricorn
Now and in the coming few months, you’re in a better position for strengthened family relationships and a more smooth-functioning home life, dear Capricorn. You also see real value in making peace with people and bringing more harmony to your personal environment. While this is true in a general sense for the next three months, it’s particularly prominent today, and you could feel a compelling urge to beautify your home or to restore peace in a relationship. You have a strong sense of design and feel for patterns and color, and this can also work in your favor on an emotional level as you can see past patterns of relating more clearly. This helps you make better choices in the present. Today, the Moon in your work and health sector encourages attention to detail and bringing order to your daily life.
Aquarius
Now and in the next three months, you have wonderful energy with you for organizing your daily affairs, studies, and projects, dear Aquarius. Much of the time, solving problems is in focus – and a particular joy! You are expressing yourself with great appeal. Learning projects or studies that give you room to create can be exciting now, but you’re also interested in structuring and organizing your mind so that a balance would be ideal. Presenting your unique ideas is easier if you take the time to order your thoughts, and this influence helps you do just that. This morning is good for smoothing over differences with others by approaching matters in a new way rather than rehashing old problems.
Pisces
Good energy is with you for problem-solving with business, financial, and practical affairs now and in the coming three months, dear Pisces. Today is particularly excellent for seeing old problems in a new light, leading to pragmatic solutions. You’ll be focused on building up your resources and motivated to put yourself in a more secure or grounded position in the weeks ahead. You’re more confident about expressing and sharing your talents, and people are catching on, although they’ll be even more interested after mid-month. You are tuned into the right cues on practical levels during this cycle, leading to better decisions (and this is also better after mid-April). The Moon at the bottom of your chart all day points to some need for extra rest or attention to personal needs and/or family.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
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
The modes are balanced.
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 April 1st:
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 the Moon 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 lifetime).
