Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
A Venus-Saturn influence this morning points to the need to slow down or get past an obstacle, dear Aries. There may be a delay or block to contend with that throws a wrench in your plans. Personal freedom and responsibilities are in focus, and probably not mixing well. An obligation could emerge that ties you down or holds you back. However, as the day advances, you are in an excellent position for support, new insight into old problems, and private matters, in general. Benefits may come from a surprising or hidden source, and if it’s possible, this is a good time for a retreat or other refreshing change of pace. An intimate relationship or the pipeline to your deeper self might open up now.
Taurus
With a Venus-Saturn square this morning, dear Taurus, watch for defensiveness or self-protectiveness that gets in the way of opportunities, particularly as the day promises much. It can be difficult to state what you need or want, and criticism or fear of criticism can wear you down a little. As the day advances, a Sun-Jupiter trine opens your heart and mind wide, and is particularly good for building up your confidence and faith in your relationships. Generosity is the key to social success right now. Be open and generous with your support and time for best results now. You’re looking forward now.
Gemini
A Venus-Saturn square is active this morning, dear Gemini, and there may be some complications with relationships, and possibly finances or ownership matters as well. The desire to enjoy friendships and independence is active now, but something or someone may seem to hold you back or block you. However, this can also be a time for putting a dysfunctional part of your life behind you. As the day advances, you’re in particularly good shape for being with people as well as for gaining the inspiration to pursue your ambitions. Career matters can be especially fruitful now, and you may feel motivated about reaching a goal. Expressing optimism, warmth, and generosity is helpful for maximum benefit from a Sun-Jupiter aspect occurring now.
Cancer
Worries and concerns regarding career, long-term goals, life direction, and partnership may emerge this morning with a Venus-Saturn challenge, dear Cancer. Even if you’re positive with others, there may be some negative feedback, but this doesn’t have to be a problem if you aim to deal with it as maturely as possible. As the day advances, you’re in a great position to refresh or rejuvenate yourself through engaging and fun activities. A Sun-Jupiter trine encourages you to do things that advance your interests and support growth and improvement. It’s a potentially excellent day for creative inspiration, and you might revive a friendship or endeavor. Very warm and positive energy is with you for sharing viewpoints, spending time with others, creative expression, romance, and learning. Non-routine experiences tend to favor you most right now. Confidence and faith bring benefits and opportunities to you.
Leo
A Venus-Saturn square occurs this morning, dear Leo, and you can experience a feeling of being blocked or limited from pursuing your dreams and personal interests. This is a time for realism, and the more you resist this, the more uncomfortable this period may be! It’s briefly uncomfortable, but recognizing limits helps you make constructive changes. While there is somewhat serious energy with us this morning, today is potentially excellent for family connections or an intimate relationship. You’re thinking ahead and focused on growing, changing, and making improvements. There can be a feeling of restored or increased faith and optimism, and a general sense of harmony with the important people in your emotional life–or with yourself!
Virgo
There may be some confused signals in a relationship this morning, dear Virgo, or there can be predicaments related to relationships or with projects. Differences in outlook or levels of commitment can be glaring. Look for ways to adjust expectations if this will get you to a better frame of mind. As the day advances, your optimism and enthusiasm build. It’s a time of increased hope and improved spirits, as well as excitement about a relationship or venture. You have the chance to enjoy people in your life more fully. Openness and generosity lead to new levels of understanding. You can experience a stronger sense of well-being which, in turn, inspires you to do your best.
Libra
There can be heightened sensitivity this morning, dear Libra, as Venus and Saturn perfect their square aspect. Family members or responsibilities to the home can feel burdensome or restricting, particularly when it comes to your relationships and social life. Toning something down now may lead to improvements in the long run. As the day advances, we benefit from a Sun-Jupiter trine that encourages positivity and optimism. Opportunities to grow your finances or career (or both) can emerge now. You’re taking a step in the right direction. You might learn something new about a health or work matter that puts you in a good mood, or you can see and feel forward progress in current projects. Cooperation on the job helps your outlook. It helps you to be clearer about your goals and to feel good about what you do and about your contributions.
Scorpio
Saturn’s influence on Venus casts a somewhat serious tone to this morning, dear Scorpio. This can be about disapproval, blockages, self-defeating attitudes, or time constraints, but whatever it is, there can be the need to redo or retry rather than move plans forward. Try to pay attention to how you express yourself, whether you’re not asking for enough or if you’re coming across as critical. It may be that you’re not giving yourself enough credit, and this is interfering with your ability to attract the resources you need. As the day advances, you benefit from an aspect between the Sun and Jupiter in your sign. You’re in particularly good shape for creative self-expression and relating well. You may be establishing trust with others. Something opens up for you, perhaps a new channel for expressing yourself, and this can feel empowering. A surge of enthusiasm brightens your day and your vision of the future.
Sagittarius
A Venus-Saturn influence this morning can find you holding back from enjoying yourself, dear Sagittarius. Whether this is due to the unresponsiveness of others around you or lack of resources, something’s coming up short, and you need to slow down. As the day advances, though, the Sun forms a lovely aspect with your ruler, Jupiter, and you’re in excellent shape for turning things around. While it remains an important time for centering yourself, you’re feeling much more confident about things. It’s a robust time for tapping into your intuition. Radiating an expectation of success with people you love does wonders for you now. Relaxing, recreational activities can appeal and can even be a little therapeutic now. Introspection does some wonderful good for you.
Capricorn
This morning, passions are strong, but love is complicated, dear Capricorn, especially since you are in need of some self-nurturing these days, which can seem to conflict with your personal ambitions at the moment. Giving up a pleasure to take care of an obligation or duty may not sound like fun now, but will benefit you in the long run. As the day advances, a Sun-Jupiter trine comes into influence and points to wonderful success with communications, networking, personal interests, and friendships. Conversations are generous, open, and meaningful. This is a time for thinking in bigger terms than your norm, particularly about long-term plans for happiness and your social life.
Aquarius
Venus forms a square to Saturn this morning, dear Aquarius, and this is a signal that slowing down is appropriate now, and is a better strategy than going all out. Even so, as the day advances, you can feel quite hungry to grow something, and you’ll find reliable cosmic support for doing so. While your inner critic can emerge early today, temporarily holding you back from expressing yourself or even enjoying what you’re doing, you come into your own as the day progresses. Money and work matters can improve. Others may be noticing your efforts, talents, or accomplishments. You may draw in the right people or resources to advance your goals. Widen your comfort zone, help others, and make the first move now.
Pisces
It can be challenging to express your feelings this morning, dear Pisces, and perhaps even to understand them as Venus and Saturn reach a square aspect. A project or pursuit may reach a block or a standstill, but there are likely workarounds. As the day advances, you find it easy to relax. The Sun in your sign harmonizes with Jupiter, and you are especially at ease with others (and yourself). There can be some wonderful opportunities to enjoy yourself. Educational, travel, and other mind-expanding activities can be in focus and can thrive, or opportunities for these things can present themselves. There is a strong desire to distinguish yourself from others, to take the high road, and to do right. You are holding yourself well and getting your message across powerfully now.

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.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
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.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 13th:
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).
