Aries

This is a potentially strong day for a feeling of purpose, dear Aries. You are cutting through the fluff and getting to the root of issues. Entirely new viewpoints and perspectives gained through your interactions can introduce you to new interests or help reignite old ones. Healing and positive reinforcement are themes today, and relationships can get a nice enhancement boost. Your patience brings in good vibes and encouraging attention. It’s an excellent time to bond through the sharing of your visions and ideals.

Taurus

Today’s energies are strong for devising strategies and making plans, dear Taurus. You’re in top shape for healing, recuperation, and regeneration if you can manage it. Focusing on forgiveness can do wonders for you today. You’d also do well to focus on something (or someone) special and putting in more of your loving attention. Attractions are complex, and a secret love may reveal itself. Even if only in a list for your eyes only, verbalizing plans can be beneficial right now. You may find that you’re a better judge of an idea if you see it in real terms.

Gemini

This is a potentially strong day for cooperation, gaining support, and even solving a problem, dear Gemini. Today’s energies encourage you to get in touch with your inner power and use it to help others or to let them know they’re important to you. Your discretion and understanding are appreciated. With a sincere interest in one another, your relationships get a nice boost. Mutual respect, compassion, and inner courage are in the spotlight. You’re in great shape for personal appeal with friends, partners, or groups. You are a little more courageous about seeking out the people you value most. You might decide to plan a retreat of sorts for refreshing and reclaiming personal energy.

Cancer

This can be a perfect time for problem-solving and improving home life, daily routines, and family relationships, dear Cancer. With work, routines, and even health, you have a magic touch today, and you’re ready to transform things for the better. It’s also a good time to improve your reputation, particularly as you’re clearer in your value, both to the world and individuals. A sense of purpose comes forth, and your love for what you’re doing reflects well in your work. Recognizing the essential details of a project or plan can be satisfying now. People seem to be taking your word for it today.

Leo

The motivation to work hard at learning, creative, or mental tasks today can bring rewards down the road, dear Leo. Today’s energies tend to help give you a boost, perhaps to gain an edge or advantage through communications, creative pursuits, personality, and career matters. It’s a great time to focus on something in which you take pride. Current relationships are a little spicier, or you might inspire somebody with an idea or a unique perspective on a matter. A financial boost or a special gift can figure strongly, and you can get a good sense of what’s viable. Sorting, planning, and listing can be satisfying, helping you organize your thoughts.

Virgo

Finding ways to improve your life, particularly in your home or with money, can be in focus today, dear Virgo. Gaining a better understanding of your money situation, family relationships, and expectations can figure strongly. If you need to strengthen a relationship, transits today help you do so. You might build stronger alliances or secure a loan or other form of support. An intimate relationship can thrive, or the relationship you have with yourself improves as you acknowledge and accept some of your deeper feelings. Making plans and focusing on practical details come naturally to you generally, but particularly today.

Libra

You are ready to take on new challenges or improve what you have going today, dear Libra. The focus is on improvement, and your genuine interest in others can boost your relationships. You might gain some confidence in pursuing a relationship or making amends. As you radiate positive energy, you seem to attract the right people, resources, or situations to you right now. You might gain a greater understanding of an important person in your life. Negotiations can figure strongly and can very much go your way. You may enjoy bringing form to an idea, and you’re drawing on your common sense and a strong sense of knowing what’s workable and doable.

Scorpio

You could feel you have the right tools available to you for solving problems today, dear Scorpio. You’re also communicating your needs more effectively than usual, attracting the proper support or cooperation today. Narrowing your focus can be useful just for now. There can be good advice or meaningful conversations standing out. Seeing and dealing with details, housework, organizing, or maintaining order in your life may be on the agenda–you’re gluing the pieces together, and it’s gratifying. You enjoy supporting others, which can lead to rewards. Common sense seems to rule, and problems feel manageable as a result.

Sagittarius

Energies active today remind you of the need to focus from time to time rather than scatter your energies, dear Sagittarius. You can enjoy a good sense of inner power and self-reliance, but you can also benefit significantly from collaborating with others. It can be a time of healing and positive interactions with people that feed your good mood and confidence. New avenues for expressing yourself and entertainment can open up. At the same time, today’s transits help you fill in the blanks and see crucial details. Drawing up and talking about plans on the lines of work, long-term goals, your environment, and health can be beneficial.

Capricorn

You’re in great shape for planning and strategizing today, dear Capricorn. Tomorrow’s energies tend to find us throwing plans out the window in some areas, but today, looking for details can be most beneficial. The day also holds the potential for feeling a sense of inner peace and balance. You might get the chance to talk about complicated emotional matters successfully and even painlessly. There can be opportunities to enhance, build, and strengthen relationships with family or yourself. You might receive clarity or confirmation of a matter.

Aquarius

Your conviction or insight can attract support and cooperation from others today, dear Aquarius. You are thinking of ways to improve your life, and you’re not afraid to take on a challenge. As you utilize different methods of approaching people in your life or change up the ways you interact in your relationships, a nice buzz of newness takes hold. Idea exchanges can be helpful, leading to more informed decisions. Others seem more appreciative of the unique things you bring to the table. Researching the information you need can pull up satisfying results. Clarity or confirmation can come to your personal or private life.

Pisces

This can be a good day for clearing up a tricky matter, dear Pisces, as you are more inclined to face issues than to procrastinate and leave them for another day. An opportunity to gain someone’s support or a special edge can emerge now. Still, you’re also in fine shape for dreaming up new strategies that you can apply to improve your life down the road. As you meet your responsibilities, you feel more empowered and capable. Attending to your practical affairs or reconnecting with the natural world comes instinctively. Your interactions with others today tend to have a pleasant buzz of excitement and positivity to them. Making plans and dealing with details are in favor.

TAURUS STRONG

Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

LEO STRONG

Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.

Today’s Elemental Balance

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

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 WEAK

This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.

FIXED STRONG

The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.

We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 21st:

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).
