Horoscopes
Aries
You have extra energy with you today, dear Aries, as your ruler, Mars, aligns with Mercury. If you feel cooped up, this can stimulate restlessness or impatience that can get you into conflicts, particularly verbal arguments. Constructive channels for this energy are likely related to home life or brand new projects that require a good foundation. Family and home life can be animated, or a whole lot is going on in your mind now. While there can be a strong internal focus, you can be particularly productive if you have a project you’re excited about now. Tonight, worries about money may be useful if they prompt you to make adjustments. Otherwise, you are wasting your time!
Taurus
Mentally, you’re unusually energetic these days, and particularly so today, dear Taurus. It’s important to watch for too hasty decisions or communications now, as you may be jumping ahead of yourself and not considering your more heart or feelings in the process. Debates can be fun and motivating, and ideas are exciting, but with a Mercury-Mars aspect influencing the day, taking things too personally can lead to problems and you may need to battle distractions. Consider that you may be too impatient to employ strategy, preferring to dive right in, Later today, there can be some awkward choices or decisions related to relationships and boundaries or money and ownership. Somebody may be a little withholding now. Try to be patient if the timing is off with someone in your life. Casual relationships tend to fare better today than committed ones, just for the moment.
Gemini
You can be anxious to get something started now, dear Gemini, most notably a project or venture that’s long-term and related to improving your money situation or sense of security. Your mind is sharp, and you can be very productive, but the same influence that motivates you to put ideas into motion today can lead you to argue if you’re not careful. Decisions made now tend to be quick, and hopefully not too hasty. You might also feel the need to defend your values today. You can very quickly feel defensive and frustrated if your opinion or idea isn’t catching on today and tomorrow, but if you avoid riling yourself up, you can channel all this mental energy into a major project. Later today, you could feel that timing is off and you might discover that the best approach is to move forward, back off, and then try again.
Cancer
You are filled with energy and vision today, dear Cancer, so do your best not to waste it on arguing a point as Mercury and Mars align in your sign. You are exceptionally sharp and on the ball but you could speak ahead of yourself if you’re not careful. The chances of blurting something out are high. You can be a little impatient today since everyone seems to be moving at a slower pace than you. Be careful that you don’t push something to a breaking point — or push yourself too hard. Apply your tremendous mental energy to something productive and useful. This week is powerful for self-improvement efforts, and also for coming into your own. Today, there can be a competitive feel, and it may very well be coming from within. There can be an idea or project that excites and motivates you now. Focus on improving or bettering a personal best, and you will do very well. Later today, patience is necessary to muster up. You get what you give, but not always instantly!
Leo
Mercury and Mars come together in your solar twelfth house, animating your thoughts about the past and your inner landscape today, dear Leo. It can be a day of vivid dreams and memories. Instead of allowing your mind to race, consider channeling all of this extra mental energy into something productive, creative, and positive. Be sure to gather all your facts before blurting something out now. There may be gossip to deal with or a sense that others know something you don’t, but try not to let this make you tense. A lot is going on under the surface and behind the scenes, and there may be some exciting developments in your private life. Try not to poke around too much in the past or into private matters, as you may not be ready for certain discoveries! Later today, people may seem a little distant or cool, but this can be due to anxiety and is unlikely to be a reflection of real feelings.
Virgo
The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Virgo, pulling emotions right up to the surface. As well, your ruler, Mercury, aligns with assertive, energetic Mars today, revving you up on a mental level. It can be a day in which new visions of your future motivate and inspire you, and the key to working well with this energy is to avoid pushing things too far. You might feel more confident about speaking your mind now. Friendships can be demanding, exciting, or simply more active and productive than usual. You may be engaging in intensive talks or debates now. For some, a rude awakening or frank discussion can catapult you in a new direction, or it might motivate you to make positive changes. Later today, there can be some see-sawing between the desire to stick with what always works and the desire to try something non-routine, new, and unfamiliar, as both choices seem equally attractive right now!
Libra
With the Moon in your privacy sector all day, dear Libra, you may need some extra moments to yourself for rebuilding your energy. Aim to let go of those things that are draining you emotionally. Despite this increased need for privacy and rest, a Mercury-Mars alignment occurring at the top of your solar chart today demands quite a bit of mental engagement and attention. You may have extra energy or courage to speak out, but it’s important not to talk too ahead of yourself as your heart may not be in the equation. A fresh approach or perspective is required in your work or regarding your goals. You may be wanting to push the limits, and this can work to some degree today, but knowing when to stop is important for your own sake. Later today, Venus and Saturn form an awkward angle, and it can be difficult to know how to approach a matter or conversation. If you miss the mark, try not fret or take it too personally since timing is off right now. You may need a little more time for self-understanding before you can deal with a problem with confidence.
Scorpio
The Moon in your social sector all day suggests a need to feel connected and in the loop today, dear Scorpio. A Mercury-Mars alignment indicates mental sharpness and alertness. While conversations can be exciting and interesting, some sensitivity or an emotional element may be missing, and this is something to watch for. As well, while competitiveness can lead to improvements and new thinking, it might also stimulate arguments and unnecessary tension. You’ll feel it if you’re living too much in the mind now since it’s an unnatural state for you! You can be quick to point out an inconsistency in another’s argument or to express an opinion now. Discussions can be refreshingly frank or downright cutting. Later today, a Venus-Saturn quincunx makes it a little difficult to cozy up to someone or even to an idea or project. Material limitations may make themselves known now, or there can be an irritating inability to agree with someone close to you.
Sagittarius
This is a day for high levels of mental energy, dear Sagittarius. You feel motivated to do things that you’ve been letting slide. An important conversation occurs, or news can arrive on financial matters that gets you going or puts a plan or idea into motion today. Use this real blast of energy to sort out financial support issues. An intimate conversation can be very revealing now. However, there can be competing feelings when it comes to the need for freedom and independence, and for increased intimacy. As well, there can be a decided emphasis on the mind rather than the heart, so watch for this. However, the day may give you added courage to express yourself, and this can be useful. If you find yourself trying hard to get to the truth of a matter, be sure to respect your own and others’ limits and boundaries. Later today, a Venus-Saturn aspect can get in the way of closeness with someone. It’s time to review the balance of work and play in your life so that you can feel better about your life — and your relationships.
Capricorn
A partner may have a lot to say today, dear Capricorn, or the need to make a decision or take action arises now. For some, aggravation or an assertion from a partner can figure strongly now. It’s very easy to get yourself into an argument, even if you are not doing so intentionally, and you could be attracting a disagreement or conflict. Try not to go into the day prepared for battle. Channel the extra energy you have into truly productive activities or fitness. You can experience today’s energy through a partner or significant friend, as someone may be very intent on getting under your skin or could be trying to turn you on to an idea or plan. Later today, a Venus-Saturn aspect can interfere with your frame of mind, as insecurities may keep you from enjoying yourself or expressing yourself naturally. If others seem a little distant, recognize that they may be a little self-absorbed and let things play out as they may.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your intimacy sector, dear Aquarius, and this tends to promote a rather contemplative mood. You’re more inclined to observe than to jump into action. However, a Mercury-Mars aspect today can rile you up mentally. You may not be content with simply thinking about things — you’ll want to put something into motion. The energy you invest in your work or important projects right now will return on itself, generating even more enthusiasm and passion for what you’re doing. The pace can pick up surrounding your daily affairs or work. The desire to sort out problems and iron out flaws can be intense, possibly to extreme levels. Avoid sharp words if you notice that people around you are not as incensed about problem-solving as you are. You’re inclined to cut to the chase and quickly get to the heart or root of a problem.
Pisces
You are particularly into your creative, romantic, or leisure time these days, dear Pisces, and today, you’re anxious to get things going. Decisions made now are sharp and quick, but not necessarily reflective of your feelings, so watch for making commitments you may later regret. There is a tremendous amount of mental energy to the day, and as long as you watch for impulsive or excessively competitive behavior, you’ll enjoy extraordinary courage to express yourself or get an extra push to get a project going. Certainly, you are more in the mood for play than work these days, you’re also motivated to get something done. Later today, you might question your instincts. While indecision can be uncomfortable now, it’s better than making poor decisions.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and you can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK

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 June 28th:
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).
