Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Your display of strength of character can open up opportunities for you today, dear Aries, as others recognize your competence and unique qualities. Your energy is appreciated! You’re also quite magnetic. Your desire to make things happen has been active since Mars moved into your sign, and now you benefit from the support of Pluto to make positive changes and improvements. There is also good energy for you to come to the aid of a friend. You may gain an edge in a group, team, or with associates. It’s a great time for making the most of a situation. Later today, a Mercury-Neptune alignment in your sign suggests you’re leading the way with a calm, understanding approach. People are drawn to you and your words or ideas. You are picking up a lot from what’s going on around you, and people may be talking well of you. While this is a creative influence, it’s not particularly grounding. On this day before a New Moon in your sign, aim to reflect and reset.

Taurus

You might decide to take charge of a private, past, or health matter, dear Taurus, as you instinctively zero in on your priorities. Good energy is with you for tackling long-standing problems or work. Working anonymously or from behind the scenes can prove beneficial. It’s a fine time for resolving old issues that have been nagging you in recent months, and you can feel empowered, indeed, as you put something behind you once and for all. Tomorrow’s New Moon will give you a nudge in the right direction. Later today, a Mercury-Neptune alignment encourages an unrushed pace. It can be a time of sudden and possibly golden ideas. What you hear or learn can stir up all sorts of feelings and spark important realizations.

Gemini

Good energy is with you for networking and for feeling that you are part of a team today, dear Gemini. If it means giving up something for the sake of the group, you’re willing to do so. Group work can be exceptionally beneficial, or a friend can build your confidence and convince you to pursue your goals and desires. You’re interested in making significant, long-lasting changes that can involve friendships, group associations, publishing, travel, and belief systems. You see your ambitions and desires exceptionally clearly, cutting through the layers of fluff. Still, as the day advances, your psychic impressions are notable. On this day before a New Moon, consider observing and reflecting. Mercury aligns with Neptune in your social sector, sparking up some wonderful ideas or conversations about/with friends. Mental connections are in focus, and you can feel strongly moved by what you hear or learn. There can be some confusing elements in a friendship, but it may very well be that you don’t need to have all the answers right now. You prefer to see the best in people and situations, at least in your circle. It’s a good time to enjoy the moment rather than entering situations with complicated expectations. Helping someone, even with encouraging words, can be rewarding.

Cancer

With research and analysis, you can solve a complex problem today, dear Cancer, as Mars and Pluto harmonize. It’s an excellent time for strategy, well-considered moves, and happy advances, although on this day before a New Moon, it may be best to wait before taking action. You can gain an edge by waiting for the right moment or passing on something and waiting for something better. Things that have been written off, forgotten about, or set aside may now be of great use to you. As the day progresses, a Mercury-Neptune alignment is excellent for a fine mix of intuition and reason. This can be a time of inspiration as you bring more creativity, color, and imagination to your goals or communications. Don’t be surprised if something you say catches on, perhaps inspiring others.

Leo

Your instincts are excellent for putting your energy into activities that are likely to thrive and leave you feeling accomplished or empowered today, dear Leo. You recognize the benefits and strategic value of working with instead of against someone. You may be teaming up with a significant other to achieve a goal with great success. Partnerships are more reinforcing. As the day advances, a Mercury-Neptune alignment is good for dreaming and visualizing what you want, and the practical side of things may need some attention later. Today is more about catching some inspiration or inspiring others with your perspective or kind words. You’re inclined to express your ideas with more flair. On this day before a New Moon, it’s a good time to rest and reset.

Virgo

Connections and attractions can be serendipitous now, dear Virgo, and it’s a healthy time for forgiving, healing, and understanding. Work performed now, or your efforts in general, can be especially fruitful. You may be able to break down a problem into parts and analyze it until you find a solution — you’re determined! You are willing to make substantial changes and to put the necessary effort into improvements. You’re especially productive, which is satisfying, and fearless when it comes to problem-solving. The discovery of a solution to a problem can come through taking action, or you can turn a negative situation into a positive one quite expertly now. Sharing work with someone can be enjoyable. It can be a fine time for bonding with a significant someone. As the day advances, a Mercury-Neptune alignment further boosts your faith in a relationship or your dreams. Your fantasy world is rich, although there is a chance your imagination can run ahead of itself. You gain tremendous insight into others’ motives and desires, even if they are doing their best to keep these things to themselves. Even so, wishful thinking may come into play and color judgment a little. On this day before a New Moon, aim to reset and detox.

Libra

With today’s Mars-Pluto transit, you’re in a focused and deliberate frame of mind, dear Libra. Productive activities with a significant person in your life can be in the cards. You seek more intensity and passion in a relationship or project, and you’re likely to find it now. It’s also a time when you can become pleasantly carried away with, or absorbed in, a project or even a person. A bit of strategy goes a long way. With a Mercury-Neptune alignment later today, even though there can be something very much up in the air, you’re likely to accept the mystery. This comes at a good time–when letting go before tomorrow’s New Moon makes sense. You might reach a happy agreement with someone, spoken or unspoken. This can be a time of intriguing conversations or inspiring thoughts and fantasies, enhanced by letting your imagination loose.

Scorpio

If you tune in to a Mars-Pluto transit today, dear Scorpio, you can barrel through tasks that usually would take much longer to complete. Concentration and commitment are the keys right now. This is a great time to get a leg up on household, work, or health routines. While you’re determined, you’re also expending energy intelligently. With your heart engaged, you can move mountains. Because it’s the day before a New Moon, it’s best to observe and plan rather than begin anew. The Mercury-Neptune alignment later today can remind you of the benefits and rewards of your efforts and routines. Duties can be fun if you are allowed some room for creativity. Helping others find the information they need can be satisfying. You’re making full use of your unique intelligence, insight, or creativity. A frustrating problem can iron out or resolve itself, and relief follows.

Sagittarius

Others can be more dependable than usual, dear Sagittarius, and channeling your energy into creative or productive pursuits is most successful as Mars and Pluto harmonize. With this motivation and tomorrow’s New Moon energy, it will soon be a great time to begin a new project or apply yourself to important works in progress. You have more influence and persuasive power than usual. There’s quite a bit of punch to your words, creations, and personal impact, and others are appreciating your particular brand of energy. Later today, bonding with someone is likely to take place on a mental level. While it’s not a time for getting definite answers, there is so much activity, interest, and intrigue going on that you can’t help but enjoy yourself. Some uncertainty might even add to the appeal just for now. Healthy escapes can help refresh your thoughts, and interesting ideas can emerge.

Capricorn

Today’s Mars-Pluto aspect is good for strategy, dear Capricorn. Reorganization in your domestic world may be in order. You get a real sense of how you can better use your resources. You’re using new energy on old issues, and quite successfully. With this transit and tomorrow’s New Moon, you could be considering starting a new project, as you have the foresight and patience to devise a long-term strategy. As the day advances, energies are good for cooperation. Something or someone can stir your imagination. You may reminisce about the past and perhaps romanticize or glorify it a little. Leaving things open to interpretation is best now as Mercury meets Neptune. A creative idea or realization comes to you, and it’s been a long time coming!

Aquarius

Motivation levels are good today, dear Aquarius, and you can be pleasantly focused on your learning and researching activities, personal interests, and projects. It’s a strong time for personal influence, impact, and magnetism. Your energy reserves are healthy, and you could be considering a new project or a new commitment to a current one. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow, take your time, as it’s a time to wind down and reset before you push ahead. As the day advances, communications and thoughts can be especially inspired as Mercury and Neptune meet in your solar third house. With this transit, you can sell your ideas more easily and seek unique ways to express yourself. If you need to look at a problem from a different perspective, you’ll find it an excellent time for doing so. An idea that’s been forming for a long time or on the tip of your tongue now blossoms. Conversations can be easy and dreamy if your connection with someone is strong, and perhaps on the confusing side with someone with whom you don’t have that kind of understanding!

Pisces

Focused energy and determination can help you turn around a financial or emotional matter this week, dear Pisces, and it’s in the works today. Satisfaction comes from a job well done. You have good insight into what is excessive or what is weighing you down, making it easier to lighten your load. Motivation, along with your smart sense of priorities, can help you further practical or business goals and feel quite accomplished as you do. You can also see value in what you already have rather than reaching for something new. Sometimes, advantages come from what you pass over. As the day progresses, it’s a strong time for taking an unusual approach to absorbing and sharing information. Mercury and Neptune meet, encouraging you to tap into your intuition and make it work for you. It’s not something that can be pushed, and you may very well need an easy, natural pace to get things to flow. You seem to have a way with the resources you already have that brings them to a like-new state. A significant person in your life can be in agreement with you, or otherwise in your corner. On this day before a New Moon, take the time to reflect and reset.

We are less inclined to consider the consequences of over-eating, over-drinking, or overdoing in general. This is a time to show some restraint.

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.

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL STRONG

The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 16th:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).

We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

NEPTUNE

NEPTUNE IN ARIES

(1861/62 – 1874/75) It is important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign.

(1777 – 1799) It is important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 to 32 years in each sign.
