Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You are in a particularly good position to make plans related to business and money now, dear Aries, but as the day advances, things turn around you. In fact, your judgment of what you truly value –or what is valuable — can be off with a Venus-Saturn square temporarily skewing your perceptions. A responsibility, critique, or obligation may surface, putting a damper on your enthusiasm for personal plans and activities, or it ties you down or holds you back. Obstacles present themselves, perhaps at just the wrong moment, but this is only a temporary setback and can absolutely be a blessing in disguise, as slowdowns related to challenging Saturn aspects so often are. Fortunately, you’re feeling emotionally empowered and strong overall, particularly with a Sun-Jupiter transit in the works.
Taurus
There can be bonding moments with others in the first half of the day, dear Taurus, particularly through shared ideas and viewpoints. In fact, these things are more important to you than usual. There is some tendency for blocks in the natural flow of things as the day progresses, however, as your ruler, Venus, forms a square to Saturn. Under this influence, it can be all too easy for defensiveness to get the best of you. There may be some feelings of resentment of others who seem less interested or supportive. People may be wrapped up in their own problems and are not readily intuiting your needs. Look for the lesson if things are slowing down or not going as planned, after which focusing on what IS working in your life is appropriate.
Gemini
The morning is strong for gaining a better understanding of your deeper feelings about a matter, dear Gemini. Your thinking is strategic, and this benefits you greatly, as planning can be useful now. Later today, we head towards a Venus-Saturn square, and there can be complications or blocks to your enthusiasm related to relationships. As much as you’re enjoying your friendships or projects, something or someone may be holding you back temporarily. Because you and others tend to be more self-protective now, it’s not an ideal time to grow a bond or express your feelings, but it is a signal to perhaps slow down and avoid pushing something that needs more time to evolve and develop on its own.
Cancer
You’re in a strong place for considering the long view related to happiness goals and your relationships, dear Cancer. Networking efforts can have excellent results. Gunning for a cherished goal, dream, or cause may be in focus now, and it can be intensely rewarding. However, the day advances towards a Venus-Saturn square which can pull up obstacles or restrictions. Fears can be stimulated, particularly related to long-term goals, career, and partnership. Try not to expect negative responses from others, as this can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. A significant other may be disapproving or not quite sharing your enthusiasm for your plans. There is no need to accept others’ disapproval, but do a self-check, as sometimes a bit of criticism, as frustrating as it seems in the moment, can lead to useful adjustments.
Leo
This morning is strong for considering the long view related to work, reputation, career, or health, dear Leo. Making plans can be exciting and motivating now. You may have an ace up your sleeve today. There is a good, healthy focus on your work or services. As the day advances, though, a Venus-Saturn square comes into influence, and it can point to a block, reality check, criticism, or other break in the flow of your enthusiasm, mainly for personal interests, studies, or adventurous experiences. Avoid pushing things if they’re not developing at the speed you’d like right now, and be patient for best results. If you’re feeling unfulfilled or disillusioned, don’t allow these feelings to rule decisions, as they’re temporary. Duties and responsibilities to work or matters related to health tend to keep you grounded for the time being.
Virgo
This morning is excellent for feeling a sense of purpose or deep enjoyment related to a project or pursuit, dear Virgo. Valuable insight into educational, promotional, publishing, work, or travel matters is possible now, as well. Bonding or vibing with someone on mental levels now can motivate you. As the day advances, a Venus-Saturn square comes into play. This can come in the form of blockage, a reality check, disapproval, or even self-defeating thoughts. Differences in tastes, styles, or attitudes with people close to you may seem more disruptive now, but they’re unlikely to be game changers. Confused signals in a relationship are possible until you sort out which of your feelings come from your instincts and which are merely fear-driven.
Libra
There is good, supportive energy in the first half of the day for research or an in-depth probe into your psyche. You can discover something valuable about your personal goals or deeper desires and motivations. You seem to instinctively know how to best use your resources. There is a sense that you know your next step regarding support. Long-term ventures designed to secure you down the road can be strong in your mind now. As the day progresses, your ruler, Venus, moves towards a square to Saturn, suggesting blockages or delays, whether these are literal or emotional. You can be especially sensitive to criticism and perceived slights. There could be someone who acts as a downer or who bursts your bubble about a relationship, but in all likelihood, it’s more about a need to slow down and get into better touch with your feelings.
Scorpio
You can be feeling empowered this morning, dear Scorpio, possibly as the result of a significant person in your life or new insight into a project. Talking about your plans with someone you trust can be rewarding. There can be some truly brilliant ideas building now. Even so, there is a hump to get over in the form of a Venus-Saturn square that comes into influence as the day progresses and into tomorrow. This can relate to a reality check, some disapproval, or perhaps some problems with overload and time restrictions. Try not to let any of this push you back. Watch how you express yourself, as you may be coming across in a self-effacing way that might lead to missed opportunities, or on the other side, a critical way that interferes with your chances of getting ahead.
Sagittarius
You are looking at the long view when it comes to your health, work, or money now, dear Sagittarius, and this helps you see these things from a different and useful perspective. Decisions this morning are good as a result of this depth of vision. It can come to you in a rush how to deal with a challenging situation and put it behind you. As the day advances, insecurities or frustrations can interfere with perceptions. There can be complications to giving or receiving love today or early tomorrow, but keep in mind that these may be self-imposed. Passion and creative energy may meet with some level of frustration or blockage. Obstacles may be financially-related on the surface of things, but they can also relate to emotional reservations or fears of unworthiness. Keep in mind that blocks are temporary, but there are also valuable lessons to absorb while you wait.
Capricorn
Creatively speaking, you’re in great form this morning, dear Capricorn. You’re in good shape for cultivating and enhancing connections through conversation. You may be excited about advancing a hobby or creative project. While there can be very supportive energy now, as the day progresses, you can be particularly sensitive with Saturn in your sign forming a square to Venus in a personal area of your solar chart. You can be touchy now, and you may read rejection when the situation is unlikely to be dire. Love is complicated, mainly because you’re in need of some self-nurturing. There are opportunities today, but some lousy timing or reservations seem to interfere. Do a self-check now, as it’s possible that you are limiting yourself through self-defeating attitudes. Otherwise, consider that it’s time to slow down and that it’s merely a checkpoint, not a permanent condition.
Aquarius
The morning is excellent for your vision regarding long-term projects, dear Aquarius, particularly those that help secure you in a significant way. You might see patterns or make insightful discoveries regarding the past, family or private life as well. The power of a good attitude or perspective on problems becomes obvious now. Decisions are well-backed in the morning, but lose quality as the day progresses. Later today, the Moon enters your sign and enlivens you. Even so, a Venus-Saturn square exact tomorrow morning comes into influence, and there may be a reality to face or a block/delay to deal with. You may feel excited about something, but you can be holding yourself back from sharing it. The need to censor yourself can overcome you now. Timing can be off as it’s hard to judge the value of things in your life just for the moment, and if it’s possible to do so, you may want to put off decisions.
Pisces
Energies active this morning continue to remind you of the need to focus rather than scatter your energies, dear Pisces. You have a comforting feeling that you’re learning a lot from your recent experiences. Later today, a Venus-Saturn square comes into influence and suggests some need to rein things in if you’re overdoing. There may be a social or emotional issue that nags at you and prevents you from expressing yourself freely. A disagreement related to values or respect is possible now, or you could experience a small reality check concerning a friend or finances. It’s important to get to a state of realism now, but keep in mind that with Saturn challenges, the first look at a situation can seem far glummer than it really is.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
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.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 12th:
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).
