Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

A Solar Eclipse occurs in your sign today, dear Aries, and it can push you to start anew in some significant manner, particularly regarding your personality, image, and confidence. This is a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. You are getting noticed and making a strong personal impression on others. While the energy of the eclipse can be a little disorienting at first, ultimately, you can be more adventurous, seeking out new experiences, and even if you aren’t consciously trying to find them, experiences will find you! Get in touch with what you truly want, envision it, and go for it. However, keep in mind that while your personal plans and initiatives are in strong focus and necessarily so, maintaining some balance in your life when it comes to paying relationships their due attention will go a long way towards success. The Sun and Chiron align in your sign today, and this annual conjunction assumes particular importance this year because it’s tied to the eclipse. The spotlight is on your more unique qualities, but it’s also a beautiful time for self-honesty.

Taurus

Today’s total Solar Eclipse is designed to shake up an area of your life that needs awakening, dear Taurus! In your case, this is about attention to rest, replenishment, as well as spiritual, mental, and emotional health. This is one of a series of eclipses falling along your work and service axis that began a year ago and will continue until March 2025. The coming weeks are vital for soul-searching. Much is going on under the hood, and if you’ve been overdoing your attention to work and duties, you’ll now get a potent reminder that your emotional life needs some managing. As much as you’d love to shine and excel on the work and physical health fronts, pushing yourself too hard is not the answer. This is an important time for reassessing your priorities and considering ways to arrive at a better work-rest balance. The Sun aligns with Chiron in Pisces today, and this annual conjunction offers a beautiful window into your vulnerabilities. Because it happens around the time of the eclipse this year, it’s an especially potent influence. Strong energy is with you now for releasing yourself from something from the past or for understanding a problematic matter from the past in a new way.

Gemini

Today’s total Solar Eclipse occurs in your social sector, dear Gemini, bringing your attention to your friendships, social life, and sense of belonging in your community or group settings. This eclipse first happened approximately a year ago, prompting a review of your friendships, networking efforts, and connections. Now, you are getting another push towards establishing your life in these areas. In the coming weeks, there can be a stronger focus on making contacts and reaching out to others, as well as new beginnings and goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group activity, and nurturing goodwill. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to difficult people or situations, circumstances could force the matter so that you can move forward. A bit of loneliness could prompt new plans to reach out. If your attention to personal projects or romantic affairs is at the expense of friendships, then you’ll feel the need to strike a balance now. Emotional honesty, sharing your feelings with friends, and willingness to recognize others as integral to your success and fulfillment — all of these things help improve existing friendships and possibly bring you new allies. The Sun and Chiron form their annual alignment today, and because this event happens so close to the eclipse, it’s an influence that has more potency than usual. Someone special or memories of people from your past can spur you on or motivate you to pursue a dream.

Cancer

Today’s total Solar Eclipse calls your attention to career and life-plan goals, dear Cancer. You are especially sensitive to your “place” in the world, and circumstances now can push you to set goals, make plans, and take charge. Getting the balance right between worldly and personal goals has been a big theme since last April and will continue to be a strong focus until March 2025. This is about defining who you are, what you do, and how you contribute. If your reputation or professional image needs some work, it’s a powerful time for making some important changes and edits. In the coming weeks, you are likely to be working towards new goals for self-mastery and self-discipline. For now, there can be some initial drama or a bit of chaos to deal with that pushes the matter. You may be feeling a little overwhelmed, but all in all, this is about finding the motivation to get your life back on track. The Sun-Chiron alignment also occurs today, and it has more power because it happens around this eclipse. It’s time to discover and embrace your unique approach to taking the lead or managing others, and as you learn to do so, you’ll find that people more readily see your value. Any insecurities you may have about taking charge of your life and responsibilities may be in the spotlight. While they can be trigger points, it’s a powerful time for acknowledging fears honestly.

Leo

Today’s total Solar Eclipse stirs your desire for greater, more enriching life experience beyond your normal bounds, dear Leo. It’s a time to initiate a change of pace in your life, whether through trips, learning, publishing, sharing, or other forms of adventure. Opportunities to broaden your horizons can present themselves in the coming weeks. Transportation issues can also be in focus, with new avenues for getting out and about opening up. This eclipse might also bring some of you into contact with lawyers, professors, or publicists. Since last year, you have been making important changes in making connections, learning, promoting yourself, and getting around. It’s helpful to keep the bigger picture in mind as you pursue your dreams and visions, and to aim for more balance in your life. As much as you’d like to do, experience, and grow, there are the limits of time and energy to consider. An alignment between the Sun and Chiron today further opens you to experiencing new things and taking a few personal risks. Look for people, places, and ideas to stimulate and inspire you. You might intuitively arrive at an idea or plan that points you in an exciting new direction.

Virgo

Today’s total Solar Eclipse can serve as a cosmic push towards taking better care of your resources, relationships, and intimate life, dear Virgo. The first eclipse in this set occurred approximately a year ago, and the last will happen in March 2025. This period is strong for putting your financial affairs in order and dealing with dependencies. Leading a more empowered life does not necessarily mean fewer dependencies, but it does mean eliminating unhealthy support systems. The focus now should be on making meaningful choices, dealing with bad habits, and managing money, particularly debts and shared resources. Matters of trust can also be in the spotlight, especially if you are spending too much time and energy on these issues. If you have been holding on too tightly to a relationship or a financial arrangement, this is a time to come to terms with the dependency. The emotional and spiritual side of your relationships and interactions is in stronger focus, and people and situations that are healing seem to draw you in. A yearly Sun-Chiron alignment occurs now, and because it’s tied to the eclipse, it has increased influence. You are more open and willing to understand power dynamics, and you stand to learn much about your inner motives with the Sun shining a light on these things today.

Libra

This can be a time to gain a new perspective on your life through the eyes of someone else, dear Libra. A total Solar Eclipse that occurred last year launched an eclipse set that will continue until March 2025, and its theme is discovering your need for others while exploring your independence. Today, a total Solar Eclipse occurs in your partnership sector, which pushes you towards developing, enhancing, and improving a close relationship. Certainly, it can be about ending or starting a partnership, redefining an existing one, or defining what you do and don’t want/need from others. The weeks ahead are strong for making contacts, making something public, or starting a new partnership. If you have been holding on too tightly to a complicated relationship, then circumstances now might push the matter. You may be struggling with your own substantial needs for personal freedom and, ideally, heading towards a better balance. Honoring others in your life or exploring relationship goals seems a vital route to fulfillment and success these days. A Sun-Chiron alignment today is powerful for healing a relationship or your attitude towards relating. Because it’s tied to the eclipse, this annual conjunction is more potent and far-reaching than usual. You are especially willing to learn from and with others, and there can be significant realizations about your relationships or relationship needs today and this week. There is more self-honesty now, and while it could possibly be a little uncomfortable, it can open doors to healing and growing.

Scorpio

Last year, a total Solar Eclipse occurred in your work and health sector, dear Scorpio, and this kicked off an important cycle for taking charge of your physical and mental health. Today, a total Solar Eclipse occurs in the same sector of your solar chart, giving you another boost or cosmic push towards improving health routines and setting new goals and plans for your work and health. It’s about starting fresh, and it may involve letting go of certain services, goals, and habits that no longer work for you. Critical thinking peaks, and you’re focusing on the important details that drive your bigger goals and projects. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out and to be useful. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a difficult situation, the matter may be forced now. As well, if you have been spending a little too much time avoiding responsibilities or neglecting personal health and daily duties, you’ll now feel the push to take charge and get yourself back on track. The Sun and Chiron reach their annual alignment, and because it occurs so close to the eclipse, it packs more punch than usual! This is a time for allowing for human imperfection and giving permission to yourself to be a little vulnerable. You can bring exceptionally creative and inspired touches to the work you do, or you could be intuitively drawn to a new path of healing or a work method that serves you especially well.

Sagittarius

With today’s total Solar Eclipse, new beginnings are in the works, dear Sagittarius, particularly related to your creative and romantic worlds. It’s a strong time for setting goals related to celebratory, playful, creative, loving, and expressive activities and endeavors. Romantic power is strong, and so is your ability to make something new of your talents and hobbies. You are exceptionally aware of and sensitive to feedback from others, as well as how you and your creativity impact others. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, this is a time for making important changes. Attention to your personal and social lives is strong, but it’s also essential to keep the bigger picture in mind on these fronts — overdoing either will lead to stretching yourself thin and a feeling of being overwhelmed, so aim for a better balance. An honest and compassionate look at your needs, mainly related to self-expression, leisure, children, and romance, can pull up opportunities to heal, grow, and improve. The Sun forms its annual alignment in your solar fifth house today, and because it happens so close to the eclipse, its power of influence increases. It’s a good time to attract someone who truly appreciates you for your more unique qualities.

Capricorn

Today’s Solar Eclipse helps clear the way for new beginnings, dear Capricorn, particularly on emotional levels and regarding your domestic life, living situation, and family. The coming weeks can involve shuffling your priorities and reorganizing schedules. This is about your support system, as well as how you nurture and support others and yourself. It’s a good time for setting goals and intentions for long-range plans towards more security and for making improvements to your home and home environment. There can be some drama on the domestic front, but this ideally leads to a fresh perspective or a new beginning. Keep in mind the larger picture of what this particular eclipse set that began last year and will continue until March 2025 means for you. You are striving for a better balance between your personal and professional responsibilities, so avoid overdoing either one or the other, or you will feel overwhelmed. It’s a time to give extra attention to your loved ones and home and domestic routines, and it’s strong for seeing and confronting your vulnerabilities and needs.

Aquarius

Today’s Solar Eclipse can prompt setting goals and intentions, dear Aquarius, particularly related to communications, learning, and connecting. It activates an axis of your chart that rules how you make connections, learn about the world around you, get out and about, and reach out to others. A learning path or project, a style of communication, or even a method of transportation, can end in order to make way for a new beginning. You have the energy to make improvements to your methods of communicating and commuting. A shake-up or some level of drama can occur now that motivates you to let go of outdated conditions, things, and situations so that you can move to the next level of growth. While there can be wonderful new opportunities to advance and shine, be careful that you don’t take on so much that you spread yourself thin. The Sun forms its annual alignment with Chiron, and since it’s tied to the eclipse, it has a little extra power this year. You might find new channels or platforms for self-expression, and these can be more imaginative, creative, and ultimately, more fulfilling. You have a more vital awareness of what’s good for you, which can draw you in a new direction.

Pisces

Today’s total Solar Eclipse is part of a set of eclipses that have you reworking how you are managing your money and talents, your intimate life, and your dependencies and support systems, dear Pisces. In the coming weeks, there can be a strong focus on what you own, materially speaking, and the level of your natural talents or what you have to offer others. It’s a time to explore your sense of value and worthiness and how this affects your life. Aim to set realistic financial goals and discover ways to increase your income or earning potential. If you’ve held too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t served you well, this is a time when circumstances could force the matter. While this can be a time to shine and grow, it’s also important that you take your time to take action since there’s more to the story. This is also a powerful time for taking an honest look at your needs and vulnerabilities surrounding money, income, and your talents. The Sun aligns with Chiron as it does once a year, and its power is more substantial this year because it’s tied to this eclipse. You may be confronting fears or insecurities about your talents or earnings, but this opens new ways to heal, improve, and grow.

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.

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.

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: BALSAMIC

Moon is less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 8th:

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).

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).

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).
