Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Perceptions are coming back to earth today, dear Aries, but you’re also feeling enthusiastic. Today’s Mercury-Saturn aspect reminds you of the benefits of keeping on top of things and getting organized. You’re in excellent shape to concentrate. Your cool mentality and organizational skills help you get things done with minimal interference. Paying more attention to the nitty gritty details or practical angle of a project can figure strongly. Your tastes are traditional today, and the Moon’s move into your home and family sector reinforces this theme. You’ll find it easier than usual to organize and sort through details, plans, and ideas.

Taurus

Today’s energies are excellent for thinking and processing, dear Taurus, and especially strong for drawing upon experience and wisdom to apply it to a current problem. You’re likely to find it easier to focus on your priorities more attentively today. Quiet study or work can be beneficial with Mercury in harmony with Saturn. It’s a great time to notice and handle details. Dealing with responsibilities rather than hiding from them can be satisfying with this transit in play. Some of this positively-focused mental energy will stick with you tomorrow as well. You may want to take action on an idea or new information about a matter from the past. It can be a time for resolving a problem that has been weighing you down.

Gemini

Today’s Mercury-Saturn aspect is a good influence for communications projects, publishing, and smart thinking, dear Gemini. Committing yourself to a goal or pet project can bring you down to earth, and it feels good. Making lists or writing out intentions can also help you sort out mind clutter. You can find real, reliable solutions to problems. Others can give you much food for thought at this time, and your own ideas can be more impactful. People pull through for you, and this kind of support is just what you need at the moment. Another grounding influence with you today is the Moon’s move into your resources sector. Some predictability and an emphasis on settling in and getting comfortable can be in order.

Cancer

Today’s Mercury-Saturn transit supports work on a project or venture designed to last, dear Cancer. This transit helps you focus or sort something out. It’s an excellent time to put in extra effort to learn, study, or perfect a project or craft. Attending to formal communications or your duties could be in order. There are reminders of your commitments, and career planning efforts can be worthwhile now. You might decide to discipline yourself to concentrate on practical priorities. As the day advances, you can feel more spirited. The Moon heads into your sign, and your emotional needs become more insistent. This transit can bring a pleasant rush of energy to your life and a desire to begin anew or enjoy a new experience.

Leo

You can make satisfying progress in your practical affairs today, dear Leo. Work and problem-solving are in favor with a Mercury-Saturn sextile. It’s excellent for dissecting and digging for answers, which can be incredibly satisfying. Conversations can be fruitful, and a commitment to make improvements comes readily. It’s a good idea to put in the extra effort. Rewards may not be instant, but they can be great down the road. A friend or partner might come through for you now. As well, a more traditional approach to learning, thinking, sharing, and communicating makes sense with today’s influences. The Moon heads into the sign just behind yours, and you’re in need of some rest or refreshment.

Virgo

Quiet study or research can produce the answers you need today, dear Virgo. Today’s Mercury-Saturn transit helps you ground your thoughts. Getting organized in a particular area of your life can steady and comfort you, reducing the tendency to feel overwhelmed. In the process, you may very well discover methods that allow you to tighten up your work or routines. Focusing on something absorbing and pouring a lot of energy into a project you care about can boost your sense of purpose. Methods that help you tighten up your work or routines can emerge. At the same time, you see time wasters for what they are today.

Libra

You’re interested in long-term results with today’s aspect between Mercury and responsible Saturn, dear Libra. There’s a stronger focus on collaboration or partnering these days, and this inclination can be particularly constructive today. You see certain things in your life more clearly if you take a partner’s viewpoint into account. Transits are good for making plans and realistically assessing matters today and tomorrow. You might successfully talk through a problem or devise a strategy with someone. It’s also a good time to team up to accomplish something important or practical. Your maturity is showing today, and it becomes you! Others might ask you for advice. The Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart is another reason to take care of business.

Scorpio

With today’s Mercury-Saturn, dear Scorpio, you’ll find it easier than usual to put things in order. Taking things one step at a time can be the most successful approach right now. This aspect grounds you, particularly with efforts to improve work, home life, and health. You can feel good about committing to something specific and making measurable progress. Putting a responsibility behind you can be satisfying. You have the power of increased mental energy with you today and tomorrow. A pet project and something to focus your attention on can add to your feelings of purpose and direction.

Sagittarius

You now see the details you may have missed in recent days, dear Sagittarius, making this an excellent time to pay more attention to a special area of interest. Memories are more accessible. You can make satisfying progress in a creative or communications project or studies. It helps to think about matters and how they’ll develop in the long-term rather than immediate rewards. The Moon heads into your intimacy sector today, and you gravitate toward absorbing, heady, or involving activities. You’re up for a challenge on a mental level, and you’re rather fearless on an emotional level.

Capricorn

Problem-solving is especially favored today and tomorrow, dear Capricorn, with Mercury harmonizing with Saturn today and Mars tomorrow. You are not as easily distractable, improving your focus. A patient and orderly approach works well right now, helping alleviate stress at the least and make some progress at best. Focusing on personal, family, or practical pursuits can be a strong draw. You more easily recall and deal with details that may have eluded you recently. You’re in great shape for taking care of business. As the day advances, the Moon moves into your partnership sector, and you’re more people-oriented. Feedback becomes more important to you.

Aquarius

Steadying energies in the first half of the day can be grounding and useful, dear Aquarius. You feel most accomplished if you pay special attention to details or chores you’ve let slide in the past. You’re making smart decisions and seeing your priorities clearly. A thorough approach works best with Mercury and Saturn in harmony. As the day advances, the Moon moves into your work and health sector, extending this theme further. You feel good about getting your chores and responsibilities handled first and foremost. Mercury in your communications sector is in good shape today and tomorrow, and you’re in a great position to talk things through. For best results, don’t skip steps — be thorough.

Pisces

In the first half of the day, dear Pisces, you’re inclined to want (or need) to take care of business, sort something out, or get organized, and you’re pretty successful at it. A Mercury-Saturn transit brings reasonable and stable energy, which can be refreshing if you need some grounding, particularly in your thinking. Your practicality and willingness to draw upon common sense help you lock something down. You have a wonderful sense of which of your plans is most feasible. You’re in great shape for sorting your thoughts and things, which can help you feel less overwhelmed or scattered. It’s a good time to focus on the details rather than the bigger picture, which can come in handy. Increased clarity feels good, and it helps you solve problems.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 7th:

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).
