Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Playing in your favor is the move of Mars into a supportive angle to your sign today, dear Aries, after an extended stay in your home and family sector. You tend to embrace your creativity and romantic side during this cycle that lasts until June 17th. Your energy levels are good, and you tend to assert yourself relatively easily. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Watch for an inclination to gamble. Otherwise, the coming weeks can be especially lively on creative, expressive, and romantic levels. This transit may have been a long time coming, as Mars, your ruler, has traveled at an incompatible angle to your sign since January 6th. Now, you feel more natural and energetic.

Taurus

Mars enters your home and family sector today, dear Taurus. Mars spent some time here in November and December before moving back into your communications sector in early January. This can be a time for returning to unfinished projects, particularly related to home and family, with renewed energy and motivation. This cycle that runs until June 17th brings much energy to your personal world and domestic circle. Positively, you can have more energy at your disposal for projects on or around the home and examine and put past problems to rest. This extra energy undirected (or misdirected) can produce tension with family and within. This influence stirs your desire to do something about difficult conditions or relationships, and also to fix, improve, and otherwise renovate your life from the ground up.

Gemini

After an extended stay in your solar second house, dear Gemini, Mars moves into your communications sector today, where it will visit until June 17th. You can express yourself with more vigor and throw yourself into learning and personal interests with more passion in the period ahead. Communications, transportation, and learning step up their pace. Watch for a tendency to be impatient or impulsive while performing manual tasks. Otherwise, enjoy this transit’s courage and take-charge energy. It’s a strong influence for spirited connecting, learning, and getting out and about. Your energy and motivation levels for personal interests and studies are increasing, and if you had started these things but put them on a shelf last November or December, you may now feel motivated to renew them.

Cancer

Mars has spent an unusually long time in your sign, dear Cancer, but today, it moves on, into your resources sector. During this cycle, your major focus pulls away from me-oriented towards security-minded, and it’s a great time for working on self-esteem issues. You can be more confident about pursuing money during this stage, but you could also be prone to impulsive buying. Mars spent some time in this sector of your solar chart in November and December. In the coming weeks, you might renew or revisit projects left unfinished from that time. In the two months ahead, Mars goes to work for you in the world of finances, business, and resources. It’s a strong cycle for pursuing financial and business interests and developing natural talents. You’re motivated to pursue increased security and comfort–building for the future is a driving force now.

Leo

Mars transited your sign in November and December, dear Leo, and then retreated into your privacy sector due to its retrograde motion. This influence has likely stimulated discoveries of buried matter, such as anger or emotional slush, but hasn’t always allowed you to release these things directly and straightforwardly. You may have even felt confined on some level during this cycle, such as through illness, injury, or simply fatigue that has urged you to reflect upon your goals. Today, Mars moves back into your sign, where it will transit until June 17th, bringing fire, stamina, and dynamism to your personality and energy levels. It can be very easy to get you all fired up, and this, of course, can have both positive and negative ramifications! You want to leave your mark on the world in some way – however big or small – and you are more able to make an impression than usual in the two months ahead. It’s a period for a more direct focus on your personal plans and independence. Some of the challenges or delays you faced in recent months can now be ironed out.

Virgo

Mars begins its journey through your privacy and soul sector today, dear Virgo, where it will transit until June 17th. This is a cycle for researching and reflecting upon your goals. If some plans or projects need to end, now can be the time to put them to rest. It can also be a period when past actions catch up with you. You are channeling more energy into private matters during this period. On a more overt level, Mars here can also encourage you to take it easy! You have a strong need for extra rest and time to yourself. You will be mulling over recent events, relationship developments, and desires over the coming two months, and this is a necessary process as you decide what is serving your best interests and what you need to improve or cut out of your life. With the Moon moving into your creative sector today, however, you can be in the mood to connect, share, and enjoy and express yourself.

Libra

Mars begins its transit of your solar eleventh house today, dear Libra, where it will visit until June 17th. Smoother energy is with you for pursuing your desires and goals – you’re less likely to encounter obstacles or opposition now. Working with a team can be successful, although you’ll want to take the lead. You have more energy and desire to organize projects or manage others, and stronger courage to chase your goals. This transit is restarting–it began in November but later retreated due to a retrograde cycle. Similarly, you could feel your motivation levels increasing and renewing. With Mars now energizing your sector of friendship, community, hopes, and wishes, it’s a great time to consider what you’re doing to keep yourself happy, connected, and engaged. But while Mars is encouraging a more detached approach to the world around you, tomorrow, the Sun will begin to promote profound experiences, but it keeps life spicy!

Scorpio

Mars moves to the top of your solar chart today, dear Scorpio, where it will visit until June 17th. When Mars spent some time in this area of your solar chart in November and December, some projects or initiatives you started may have faced some obstacles. Now and as you advance, you’re in a stronger position for moving forward. You can feel a compelling desire to take action when it comes to fulfilling your responsibilities and pushing your professional interests ahead after much focus on other interests. Ambitions are stirring! Your motivation levels are strong and strengthening. Your desire to advance and reach (or surpass) your goals is strong. You need some clear goals in sight so that if you don’t already have a plan, you’re likely to draw one up now. Your enterprising spirit is powerful now.

Sagittarius

Mars moves into your adventure sector, dear Sagittarius, where it will transit until June 17th. This transit brings smoother, easier energy to your world and encourages a more outgoing, spirited approach. It’s a good cycle for doing something that requires new bravery or courage, as this influence tends to release some of your inhibitions. It’s an excellent influence for competitive activities on both physical and intellectual levels. Projects that began in November and December may be relaunched or reassessed. You’ve been focusing much of your energy inward, and you’re now starting a more outgoing and adventurous cycle. In the coming weeks, asserting yourself will be easier without stepping on others’ toes. Still, the Sun will move into your work and health sector tomorrow, and you’ll be diversifying, juggling both the routine and non-routine elements of your life.

Capricorn

The Moon moves into your sign today, dear Capricorn, animating your emotions and stirring a desire to start fresh on a feeling level. Also today, Mars moves into your intimacy and sharing sector, where it will transit until June 17th. Mars was in this same sector in November and December but turned retrograde and moved back into your partnership sector. You may now be revisiting projects and plans you started then. Your intimate life is likely to heat up during this cycle. You are less inclined to go after what you want directly, preferring a subtle approach. Watch for arguments with a partner over money and power when Mars is under strain in this sector. Otherwise, use this time to explore your hidden desires. This transit encourages an inward focus, positioning you well to observe and strategize your next moves.

Aquarius

Mars enters your partnership sector today, dear Aquarius, where it will visit until June 17th, stirring much activity in the relationship department. Work pressures and health complaints tend to ease after its extended stay in your solar sixth house. Partnerships are animated, sometimes in disruptive ways, in the two months ahead. In fact, if it feels bad, it’s a short-term thing, as something needs to surface so that you can deal with it and move on. Mars is now encouraging a more sociable phase; you’ll no longer sweep relationship problems or stagnation under the rug, or important players in your life can be more assertive. Today, your intuition is trying to tell you something, and if you can find some peaceful moments to really listen to it, you’ll do well for yourself.

Pisces

Mars has spent many months in your romance, creativity, children, and recreation sector, dear Pisces, bringing excitement but also some volatility to some or even all of these areas of life. This ends today as Mars moves into your work and health sector, where it will transit until June 17th. You had a taste of this energy in November and December, and you might now revisit some of the goals and projects that you started then. You have more energy for work, fitness, and daily routines now. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. You may be interested in picking up or stepping up a health and physical activity program, but avoid pushing too hard for the best results. You’ll have extra energy at your disposal for work, organization, fitness, nutrition, research, and self-care programs. This is a time for special attention to your daily affairs. You must do your own thing at your own pace during this period.

The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The element of 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.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

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.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING

Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.

Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 18th:

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).

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

THE MOON

THE MOON IN CAPRICORN

ASPECTS OF THE MOON

TRINE THE SUN Orb 2°03′ Separating

We are supportive, cooperative, open, genuine, and more relaxed than usual.

SQUARE VENUS Orb 5°41′ Separating

There could be clashes between the desire for familiarity and the need for pleasure. Overindulgence or overspending possible.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN

We are more competitive than cooperative at this time.

SQUARE PLUTO Orb 4°53′ Applying

We may be tempted to control or manipulate events and people, and can have difficulty reaching a compromise. We might need to reevaluate expectations, face our fears, manage power struggles, and deal with urges to control others and situations.

CONJUNCTION CHIRON Orb 5°30′ Separating

You are wounded, either physically or emotionally. You are scared to express yourself because you are so sensitive to pain. At some stage in your early life you have suffered and this contributes to your adult fear of pain. You have a compassionate nature as you have the ability to understand other people’s hurts.

MERCURY

CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE Orb 1°06′ Separating

You have an imaginative mind, although at times you speak in a vague fashion. You are sensitive to the thoughts and ideas of other people. You are creative.

You like relationships which offer you the opportunity to express your individuality.

CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE Orb 5°27′ Applying

You yearn for romance within your personal relationships. You are seeking an ideal and perfect partner, who only exists in fairy tales. You become disillusioned with the imperfections of relationships and seek solace in a fantasy world. You need to face the realities and imperfections of yourself and others. Then you will be able to share beauty, art and creative pursuits with your partners.

CONJUNCTION THE NORTH NODE Orb 1°40′ Applying

Your destiny is linked with the need to develop harmonious and balanced relationships. Relationships will play an important role in your accomplishments. You need to make sure that your need to keep the peace does not hinder decisive action.

URANUS

URANUS IN TAURUS

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. 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. Therefore the interpretation of Neptune in the Sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This generation have the potential to be spiritual pioneers. They take risks in exploring the mystical realms. This generation may also boast many pioneers in the arts.

You are on a spiritual quest, and your destiny is linked with expressing your artistic and creative talents. Your challenge is to discover your highest potential and intuition. You may express your talents through spiritual or artistic groups.

PLUTO

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

(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. Therefore the interpretation of Pluto in its sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. This is the generation of worldwide co-operation. People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed. (Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
