Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

ARIES STRONG

Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.

GEMINI STRONG

Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.

PISCES STRONG

Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.

Today’s Elemental Balance

EARTH WEAK

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding  practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.

WATER STRONG

Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.

Today’s Modal Balance

FIXED WEAK

We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.

MUTABLE STRONG

The Mutable signs are Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo. We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

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.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 3rd:

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).
