Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Today and tomorrow are powerful for connecting with others in creative ways, dear Aries, and for finding and pulling up more enthusiasm and spark from within. Your appeal is excellent. Venus, currently transiting your sign, harmonizes with your ruler, Mars. You can be charmingly forthright, sincere, and straightforward with your requests and communications. People are falling in love with your unique style, and you manage to be both assertive and charming. The desire to connect or create something beautiful or unique is strong. The Moon heads into your social sector today, further spotlighting social ease.

Taurus

You have extra appeal today and tomorrow, dear Taurus. You have more competition, fire, and energy in your feeling nature, and your love life can mirror this. Money-making ideas can be especially creative now. Business proposals arising now can be most interesting, and you may have the opportunity to make impressive progress with a project, talent, or business idea. Releasing stress through physical or creative activities can be excellent for you. While you’re taking your time with your affections, you’re nevertheless turning some heads, and the mystery involved can perhaps only serve to boost your appeal further.

Gemini

You might seek special attention, cooperation, or camaraderie today and tomorrow, dear Gemini. Reaching out to others and taking the lead or initiative brings rewards now. You may form a special connection through a group, friend, or networking. Instead, a friend’s appreciation can motivate you to go after what you want, spurring you on. Friendships and love relationships can strengthen or enliven –you are giving off warm and stimulating vibes. There can be invitations or increased desire to follow up on connections made. It’s a creative time that seems to highlight you in attractive ways.

Cancer

Your charisma turns up a notch today and tomorrow, dear Cancer, and this energy is with you both personally and professionally. Holding back little can work to your advantage right now–you don’t need to reveal everything when it comes to a plan, and in fact, might benefit from keeping some air of mystery around you. A Venus-Mars transit stimulates your need for more dynamism and creative expression in your work and possibly your private life as well. You are glowing on a professional level, and others tend to follow your lead or flock to you for advice. You can be pouring a lot of energy and passion into a favorite project or cause. A connection with someone may reach new heights, lifting your spirits, and a sense of mission emerges.

Leo

The need for good company and interesting experiences can motivate you into action today and tomorrow, dear Leo. There could be opportunities to interact with special people through long-distance communications, cultural interests, higher education, acquaintances, or groups, or you can find pleasure and inspiration through these things. You’re inclined to express your feelings straightforwardly now, and this forthcoming approach truly works in your favor. Conversations with friends can be inspiring and stimulating, and creative ideas can emerge. Some gently motivating competition can get you going.

Virgo

Transits now tend to boost an intimate relationship, your relationship, or a career prospect, dear Virgo. You might get professional support or backing. Try not to fret if there’s competition right now, as it’s the kind that nudges you to improve. A Venus-Mars connection active today and tomorrow can motivate you to make a connection or find channels to satisfy a burning desire. Investigation or seeking out hidden answers or resources can be successful. You might see progress, improvement, or excitement in your intimate life. A buzz of excitement and a boost of charisma on the job are both possible. Look for opportunities to get ahead down the road, not only in the moment.

Libra

This can be a good time for pairing up to get something significant accomplished, dear Libra, or it’s a fine time for business partnership and getting an edge over competitors. Give your mind a rest today as much as possible. You can feel supported, peaceful, and yet pleasantly stimulated today. You are more focused on healing energy, positive reinforcement, and healthy competition. There is a strong urge to create or build something special, and finding the right channel to express it is key. You could find yourself on the same page as a significant someone, and personal appeal is great. A bit of competition or an exciting possibility can motivate you to give a little more. This can also be an exciting time for learning something new or for the sparking of a new interest.

Scorpio

There is special ease or a natural, warm feel to intimate matters today, dear Scorpio. Your sense of peace and acceptance is attractive. Providing a service or volunteering your help to someone can be enormously rewarding, as Venus in your service sector connects with Mars. You can feel a strong urge to make something beautiful, to create, and to bring more harmony into your world, and you’re likely to give a little more in whatever you do. You’re harmonizing especially well with people in your daily environment, or there can be social opportunities arising from your work or chores. There can be positive channels opening up to you for healing and health-building pursuits.

Sagittarius

Interactions can be inspired and inspiring, dear Sagittarius. There is a pleasant feel to your relationships today and tomorrow, but there is some spiciness involved as well. Hints of something exciting can stir and motivate you. People are interested in what you have to say and the person behind the ideas, as well! A Venus-Mars connection occurring in your love and relationship sectors suggests you’ll benefit greatly from your interactions–feedback from others can be motivating. Your appeal is powerful today, and others may pull you into activities or inspire you to action. It might also be an excellent time for creative work or pleasure-seeking activities.

Capricorn

The Moon moves out of your sign today and moves into your resources sector for a couple of days, dear Capricorn. The desire to settle in and enjoy yourself is strong with this transit. You can feel stronger through another person today, yet you’re in great shape for independent actions. You’ll find that interactions are a little spicy and quite dynamic, and they may very well boost your spirits and confidence. Action around the house or with your work can be therapeutic. You might make special connections through your work or pursuit of health and wellness. You’re interested in putting a little more of yourself into any task you take on now, and it shows in the final product. Friendly competition is also stimulating. The ability to show what you mean through your actions is with you right now.

Aquarius

The Moon moves into your sign for a couple of days, dear Aquarius, bringing more color to your emotions. You are more spontaneous than usual today and tomorrow, not only due to this Moon transit but also because of a Venus-Mars influence. You’re likely to find that creative self-expression comes easily and naturally. Interactions are especially warm and fun. People energize you today–and you them. You might turn to physical activities or games to release built-up tension. You could feel inspired or motivated to up your game, and you’re communicating with more punch. Actively showing you care, helping out, and boosting people up can be rewarding.

Pisces

Your interests have been quite personal and possibly quite practical in recent days, dear Pisces, but there’s now a stronger awareness of a need for making connections. Today and tomorrow, your drive to taste life and appreciate it is strong. You’re feeling quite creative and a little more confident about pursuing your needs and wants. This is a good time for magnetizing people and perhaps things to you, and circumstances seem to showcase your natural talents. A creative business idea may come together now. Personal comfort, artistry, aesthetics, decoration and prized possessions can be in high focus. Ideas for improving your finances, comfort levels, and home life stand out as special.

We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 5th:

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).
