Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
Today’s transits help you find ways to be productive and accomplish things in novel ways, dear Aries. Instead, you might rediscover the fun or exciting elements of a routine. The Sun in your sign these days puts you in the spotlight, while Venus in your privacy sector points to some withdrawal, indecision, or holding back regarding your affections. While you can usually manage these differing drives quite expertly, they seem to clash today, and you can be giving off mixed signals or feeling a little torn. Indecision is likely but temporary. And, with your ruler, Mars, about to change signs tomorrow, it’s a good idea to wait and see.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon continues its transit of your creative sector, dear Taurus, and you crave attention and interaction. Venus in your social sector these days is strong for your enjoyment of activities that make you happy or that give you a sense of connection to others. Mars will move into this same area of your solar chart tomorrow, enlivening these things further. Venus and the Sun form a minor challenging aspect today, however, which can complicate your feelings about a friend or a pursuit. Part of you may prefer to keep to yourself or work under the radar, and another side of you wants to get involved. Indecision now is temporary, and it may even delay a decision that should wait for best results.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Today’s energies favor quiet activities and projects that focus on building and developing, dear Gemini. There can be quite a fair amount of weighing pros and cons, negotiations, and discussions. However, as much as you might enjoy the mental exercise, be aware that it’s hard to know what’s in your heart today, possibly leading to misunderstandings. Generally, with Venus in your solar tenth house these days, you come across well, particularly with bosses, elders, and the like. Today, Venus encounters a minor challenge, pointing to some indecision or hesitation. While you may wrestle with mixed feelings, it’s likely more satisfying to work towards a tangible goal than to give in to whims and cravings.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
Today’s transits tend to favor self-expression, communicating, networking, and friendships, dear Cancer. You might gain a pleasant, helpful perspective through an acquaintance or new information that comes your way. However, do watch for coming across as more lighthearted than you are actually feeling. You might also be a little torn between work and pleasure today, or even work and learning, as the Sun and Venus form a minor challenging aspect, highlighting different drives. You’re motivated to produce, perform, and accomplish something solid on the one hand. On the other, you’re excited about learning something new. You don’t seem to have enough time to do all you want to do. Aim to avoid answering to whims, and you’ll find that you enjoy yourself more. A bit of self-discipline works wonders now.

Leo
Leo
Leo
A prime motivator today might be to feel more independent, dear Leo. You’re in good shape for assessing your resources, money, and capabilities, and your choices and decisions improve as you do so. Still, you can feel somewhat torn between expressing yourself and keeping your observations to yourself. This can keep or put you in a state of limbo temporarily. It might also lead to overindulgence. Be on the lookout for this, but be sure you don’t overlook the other opportunities of the day, mostly on practical levels.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Today’s transits encourage self-expression, progress, and constructive change, dear Virgo. The Moon is in your sign all day, bringing emotions to the surface. With today’s Sun-Venus minor challenge, part of you wants to keep things light and airy, while the other side is taking things a little more seriously. This can lead to indecision or perhaps tense interactions, with misunderstandings more likely than usual. However, the vague discontent you may feel due to all of this is temporary, and from it, you may very well discover new ideas or interests.

Libra
Libra
Libra
You can draw a lot of energy from your reflections and deeper thought today, dear Libra, and you can quietly accomplish much. You prefer to move about with few distractions and happily in your own world. Even though you’re often preoccupied today, you’re very aware of others. In the first half of the day, you can feel torn between business and pleasure with a Sun-Venus semi-square in play. Watch for agreeing to something just to make a problem go away temporarily. It’s tempting, but keep in mind that, by doing so, you’re borrowing from your future. Your attention is divided — either your relationships distract you from your work or chores, or you’re not entirely present in your relationships because you’re thinking about your duties! In truth, the drive towards either area of life is strong these days, and you have all the tools to do both well.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
There can be some indecision in the first half of the day, dear Scorpio, but things feel more natural as the day advances. The Sun in your sector of work and routines in recent weeks asks you to meet your responsibilities and improve your efficiency. On the other hand, you have Venus in your sector of creativity, love, and play, encouraging you to let your hair down and enjoy yourself! Most of the time, you can compartmentalize or combine the two without a problem, but these drives clash now, leaving you feeling a little tense. Ideally, this discontent motivates you to find creative solutions. On a different level, today can bring a sense of relief or release through friends or a partnership. Socially, there can be greater freedom and more effortless expression.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
In the first half of the day, there can be some indecision or a feeling of limbo, dear Sagittarius. The Sun is currently transiting your sector of joy and pleasure, while Venus moves through the sector of home and family in your solar chart. On the one hand, you’re enjoying quiet times, and on the other, you’re seeking more interaction, spontaneity, and feedback. These drives can clash right now, leaving you feeling a little divided and undecided or possibly tense. However, today’s transits are excellent for improved methods and innovative approaches, especially as the day advances. You might bring new ideas and twists to ideas with great success. You’re particularly aware of your responsibilities and longer-term goals today. While you’re in a practical mindset, you’re also forward-looking.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
You are enthusiastic today, dear Capricorn, but you may not be paying much attention to important details. You’re running more on intuition. The Sun and Venus form a minor challenge, influencing the first half of today, and you can feel a little torn between your drive to take things easy and your curiosity encouraging you to take on projects and activities. This aspect can also lead to some misunderstandings with others. You might aim to do your best to divide your time well, which involves going all in with whatever you’re doing.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
With the Sun and Venus in a minor clash, dear Aquarius, you can feel torn between your genuine desire to keep things simple and safe and your strong curiosity that urges you to explore your options. Watch for a sweet tooth, impulsive purchases, sudden cravings, or other manifestations of discontent in the first half of the day. Aim to find more creative ways to satisfy your varied needs. With today’s Moon, working behind the scenes can be beneficial today. As such, you can benefit greatly from peaceful, healing, and renewing activities.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
These days, the Sun’s transit of your resources sector encourages you to attend to your practical affairs, dear Pisces, pulling up a desire for some predictability in your life. On the other hand, Venus in your sign encourages you to express yourself and enjoy a more spontaneous approach to your life. Of course, these different drives can sometimes clash, as you may see more clearly in the first half of today. A symptom of discontent may be a sudden craving or impulsive choices that should probably be tamed. However, there can be small but significant breakthroughs happening, and you gravitate to activities that feed your desire to feel connected to the world around you. Others’ input might clarify your own position, even if you’re not in agreement–it simply gets you thinking.

Today’s Lunar Phase

 

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.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 13th:

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).
