Horoscopes
Aries
Morning energy is helpful for getting things done, dear Aries. You have your practical priorities straight, and you may gain the cooperation of a partner or good friend for your pursuits now. Even without, you are quite happy to work on some items on your to-do list. The Moon’s move into your intimacy sector towards midday encourages a deeper focus on your feelings and desires. This can clash to some degree with your urge to take care of business – a focus on complicated emotions can interfere with your productivity when keeping things simple and straightforward tends to serve your practical purposes better. Some of you could be dealing with a disagreement on a money, business, or ownership matter today. If others seem to be disrespecting you, you can take it especially personally.
Taurus
Goals related to health and work are in generally good favor this morning, dear Taurus. Things seem to be clicking into place, and those things that aren’t don’t faze you as you have a strong sense that you have enough time to get to everything you need to do. Emotions stabilize. A plan for better health and habits can come together in the process. However, later today, the mood is less stable. We’re inclined to take things very personally. Mars recently entered your sign, encouraging your independent, pioneering side, but today’s Moon stimulates a strong need for companionship. While there are ways to satisfy both needs, getting to that balance may be challenging. Others can arouse defensiveness or combativeness in you. However, consider that they may be showing a side of yourself or your unmet needs through your interactions. Competitiveness sometimes works in your favor, as it pushes you to exceed your goals.
Gemini
This morning, a strong desire to make things work can lead to a happy settling into a routine, dear Gemini. In a relationship, you’d rather focus on securing happiness in the long-term than relying on quick fixes. Commitment and reliability are attractive right now. A conservative approach works well in the morning, but passions tend to rise as the day advances. You may become aware of a competitor or an obstacle in your path, which can be very frustrating. As much as you’d like to take care of business and get things into order, the things you haven’t done or unsettled matters can interfere. Resentment of others may emerge, and difficulties reaching an agreement are possible.
Cancer
This morning brings favorable energy for improving home, family, and work life, dear Cancer, whether this is about tangible improvements or working hard at making relationships work. Your eye is on functionality, but also long-term security. Organizing and rearranging are favored. However, as the day advances, tensions arise. You may need to rely on others who are not necessarily seeing eye to eye with you, but interactions with others may end up revealing hidden desires. Sensitivity on a social level can lead to quick reactions, but these are unlikely to fix things. Heated discussions can quickly turn passionate, and then angry. When it comes to love and friendship, watch for tempers flaring and too-high expectations. If there have been growing resentments, they’re likely to emerge now. Positively, getting things out into the open can be purging.
Leo
This morning is good for taking on responsibilities or filling your duties, dear Leo, as you feel more secure and mature as you do so. Relationships improve with a show of support. You might make a verbal promise now, or you may simply commit to a communications or creative project. Organizing is favored now, but as the day advances, inner frustrations can be triggered if there has been tension with your larger goals, career, or family. Fortunately, you can use this energy to your advantage – the desire to get over frustrations can motivate you to make changes or put an irritating situation behind you. You might try to avoid making a big show of things now, but do learn from conflicts stimulated now. Pay particular attention to anger that surfaces suddenly and seemingly from nowhere, as Mars in your solar fourth house can pull up all sorts of buried resentments, and you can learn a lot from them.
Virgo
You’re attracted to simple activities and pleasures this morning, dear Virgo. Moderation makes you feel good about yourself now. You see the value of slowing down and doing things thoroughly. Home, family, and money matters can strengthen, or your focus is on making these things work well. As the day advances, however, things can feel a little chaotic. There can be a strong attraction to personal projects or passions, but also a compelling need to get things done. Rushing through your tasks leads to mistakes and disagreements. Get in better touch with your true desires before taking action later today, as a Moon-Mars conflict may result in too-quick words or decisions. It can be quite difficult to relax until you face your frustrations, and this influence ultimately gives you the opportunity.
Libra
This morning is good for getting your point across, speaking as an authority, or getting organized, dear Libra, as the Moon in your sign harmonizes with serious Saturn in your communications sector. Small accomplishments please you now — and they add up! This is a good time for studies or skills development. Structured activity can thrive now. As the day advances, tensions can build, however. Any resentments you’ve been nursing towards others, whether it’s about boundaries, respect, money, or power dynamics, you may reach a boiling point. Physical and emotional attractions can be intense today, but it can be difficult to satisfy your desires without feeling badly, and your feelings without sensing you may be missing out. It can be a little tricky getting to the point of compromise, but it’s certainly not out of reach.
Scorpio
This morning, you can enjoy a bit of a time-out or work in relative solitude, dear Scorpio, with the Moon in the sign behind yours harmonizing with Saturn. You can have success working behind the scenes or taking care of personal matters. Look for ways to bring resolve to unsettled affairs now. Approaching things in an organized, structured way works best in the first half of the day. The Moon moves into your sign towards midday, and this brings out your desire to connect with the world around you after a couple of days of contentment with laying low. However, moods can be up and down this evening especially with a temperamental Moon-Mars influence. Others may seem like instigators or may be pushing their agendas. Even so, you have something to learn about yourself through conflicts occurring now. If resentments have been building in a partnership or close friendship, they might emerge now, and you can get over this hump.
Sagittarius
Working solidly towards a personal happiness goal can be rewarding this morning, dear Sagittarius. You see the value of pacing yourself and making preparations or reparations rather than pushing forward. It’s a great time for strengthening yourself and the systems around you, whether these are relationships or ventures. The practical side of your relationships is emphasized now. Later today, however, there can be volatile feelings, and if so, this can be a symptom of being out of touch with true needs and wants. You may meet resistance to your plans or become aware of a competitor. As much as you’d like to escape your duties right now, you also recognize that your work or tasks will be waiting for you when you get back. Avoid overdoing either end of the spectrum.
Capricorn
This morning’s energies play very much in your favor, dear Capricorn. The Moon is in your solar tenth house (the house your sign is associated with) and is in harmony with Saturn, your ruler. You are known for your common sense and realistic approach, and these traits are appreciated and valued now. Work you’ve done behind the scenes can come in handy now. However, as the day advances, resentments or frustrations that have been building, particularly in your romantic or social life, can reach a boiling point. While you should wait out final decisions, acknowledge whatever feelings are coming to the surface today, even if they seem to be irrational, but keep in mind that you don’t have to act on them yet. Don’t allow others to push or goad you, but address problem areas bravely.
Aquarius
Take advantage of this morning’s practical energies, dear Aquarius, by working at something that’s precious to you or that can use some of your focused attention. Decision making is solid as you see your capabilities clearly right now. A moderate approach to your life is favored and can make you feel more confident and satisfied. However, as the day progresses, tensions can rise, particularly if you’ve been nursing a resentment. A Moon-Mars opposition tends to stimulate conflicts and pull up anger that’s been working under the surface of things. This helps you finally deal with a problem area, but getting to this point can be disruptive if you’re not aware of what’s happening. The results of conflicts can be exciting and stimulating, but possibly less than satisfying in the moment. Seek out a compromise.
Pisces
This morning encourages emotional maturity, dear Pisces, related to responsibilities and duties. You see the value of preparation, and your ambition is pleasantly stimulated. There can be an agreement or cooperation with a parent or boss that helps you feel supported and confident. As practical as the energies can be this morning, as the day advances, passions rise. The areas where you’ve been feeling frustrated or where you’ve been growing resentful can be triggered, and conflicts can result. Differences in opinion may figure strongly now. Feeling overloaded or impatient can lead to mistakes if you rush things. Tame tendencies towards stubbornness, as this gets you nowhere. Look instead for ways to make positive changes.

Decisions about family, health, or nutrition may need to be made now.

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 15th:
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).
