Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
In many ways, you’re in a good position to slow down and enjoy the moment today, dear Aries, with the Moon in your resources sector all day. Even so, you may do some battle with restlessness or indecision, as part of you might feel you should be more involved than you are. Priorities may be hard to decide upon, but if you scrutinize things, you’ll see what’s the best choice. Excess spending or borrowing can be an issue now. Take steps to wind down, which becomes more natural as the day progresses. A Vesta-Uranus influence suggests a hard-working attitude works for you as you lead the way. Your ideas are unusual and innovative yet also marketable. Progressive methods in your work can be successful. Do keep in mind, however, that Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow, and brand new initiatives are not advised for now.
Taurus
You’re in good shape for attention to (and understanding of) your inner world, feelings, and close relationships now, dear Taurus. You’re willing to put in the work if it means you’re handling problems related to your emotional attachments, financial intricacies, or power dynamics in your relationships. Keep in mind that Mercury is about to turn retrograde, and work on projects already in progress makes the most sense now. The Moon is in your sign all day, and you may feel like pampering yourself. While you can feel some restlessness as the Moon opposes Jupiter, it’s best to avoid the temptation to overdo or overindulge. Excess has a price even if the payment is deferred. You’re better off keeping things even and smooth now so that you don’t start off at a disadvantage later.
Gemini
The Moon continues to spend time in the sign just behind yours, dear Gemini, pointing to a need for reflection and a bit of anonymity before busier days ahead. Tomorrow, the Moon will enter Gemini, and you’ll be excited to pull out of your shell. Today is best used to unwind, take things easy, and release tension. Circumstances may seem to point to the need to balance your life, particularly when it comes to working and resting, or attending to physical needs and paying attention to your emotional needs. Despite your requirement for downtime, today is potentially excellent for connecting with a friend or partner and getting something valuable done. Depending on someone, or coming through for someone, can be in focus and satisfying today.
Cancer
A Uranus-Vesta aspect influencing the day is excellent for progress with your work, chores, or duties, dear Cancer. It’s a time of updates rather than big changes, and this suits you well! You’re willing to put in the effort now. The Moon spends the day in your sector of dreams, wishes, causes, happiness, and friendship, and highlights the need for lighthearted activities. Relationships also deserve a light touch, although there may be a bit of drama in your social life today. Creative solutions to any problems that might emerge now are ripe for the picking. Mercury retrogrades tomorrow, and it makes sense to defer big decisions for later.
Leo
Today’s Moon in Taurus encourages and rewards simplicity, dear Leo. The Moon’s opposition to Jupiter this afternoon, though, can tempt you into thinking you should “do it all.” Instead, consider musing about your goals and keeping your responsibilities in mind as you take it easy. Avoid pushing yourself or projects. This is particularly important with Mercury heading towards its retrograde station tomorrow. You’ll be in the best shape if you take time to relax and center yourself now and pursue your ambitions later. Mercury’s retrograde starts tomorrow and lasts until mid-April, and while it’s a useful time for editing and reviewing, the shift itself can be disorienting.
Virgo
A Uranus-Vesta aspect influences the day, dear Virgo, and is excellent for motivation to make improvements in your life, particularly regarding your relationships, emotional growth, living conditions, and home. It’s a fine time for domestic developments as well as a supportive atmosphere at home or with family. The Moon spends all day in your sector of adventure and spirit, which harmonizes with your sign. The Taurus Moon tends to reward simplicity and patience. Try not to fall prey to the idea that you should force a decision on a matter. As well, watch for getting lost in a sea of information with so many choices that you forget your priorities. Tomorrow, Mercury turns retrograde, and with the shift, there can be some confusion or mixed signals to deal with.
Libra
Mercury will turn retrograde tomorrow, dear Libra, and the weeks ahead are better used for review and editing work in a general sense. Today’s Uranus-Vesta influence can help fuel your desire to make improvements, particularly regarding your relationships, studies, and projects. Collaboration with others can be successful now, but it’s better not to make bold statements since signals may be crossing today and tomorrow. Today’s Moon-Jupiter opposition can tempt you to overspend or overdo indulgences. However, for much of the day, the Moon in Taurus encourages and possibly even rewards simplifying your life in crucial ways, particularly on emotional levels. In truth, if you want to treat yourself, streamlining is the route to take since it comes with less guilt and consequences.
Scorpio
Today, the Moon is in your opposing sign, dear Scorpio, and after opposing Jupiter in your sign, is void. While you can be tempted to push your agenda, it’s better not to push yourself, anyone, or anything. Instead, letting your imagination lead the way makes sense, and paying extra attention to a significant someone’s plans or needs can be rewarding. Mercury is about to turn retrograde, and this is another sign that taking it easy is best. The retrograde period, spanning from tomorrow to mid-April, is good for returning to past projects and for editing and review work, but the shift itself can be a little disorienting. Fortunately today, a Uranus-Vesta aspect fuels your motivation to make updates and changes, mainly related to your health, work, and financial affairs.
Sagittarius
Vesta in your sign forms an energizing aspect to Uranus today, dear Sagittarius, motivating you to pour your considerable energies into interesting projects and endeavors. Mercury is turning retrograde tomorrow, and what’s begun today may not have staying power, so aim to focus on in-progress or older projects. You’re in great shape for demonstrating your unique qualities, talents, and commitment now. You are balancing responsibility and recreation evenly, or combining them in creative ways. The Moon in Taurus today encourages simplifying your life in crucial ways, particularly related to your work and health pursuits. If you try to push things, you’re sure to feel some resistance. You can be highly motivated to shine in your routines, work, or daily affairs, but the need to strike a balance is real.
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in the sign of Taurus and in harmony with your sign, dear Capricorn. This also means the Moon is transiting the area of your solar chart that rules entertainment, self-expression, joy, and creativity, and your needs for these things are highlighted. There is a somewhat stubborn quality to the day’s energies regardless, and you may have trouble adapting or deciding on which path to take or which urge to follow. It may be best to enjoy some release of ambitions, tension, or pressure now. With Mercury about to turn retrograde (its retrograde cycle begins tomorrow and spans until mid-April), you benefit from taking things slowly and cautiously. As well, you’re in good shape for seeing areas that can stand improving, mainly related to home life.
Aquarius
The Moon spends another day at the bottom of your solar chart, dear Aquarius, and you’re in good shape for concentrating on your home life or inner world. The Moon does brief battle with Jupiter, and Jupiter seems to be tempting you to go big. While the draw can be substantial, the Moon is void for the second half of the day and Mercury is moving into a retrograde station, and these things make it difficult for new pursuits to get off the ground. Play things safe today for best results. However, you can also tap into a Vesta-Uranus influence that motivates you to work on projects and pursuits that you love. Others appreciate your commitment or work ethic now.
Pisces
Today is better for rest and comforting, emotionally centering activities, dear Pisces. While your ideas are fabulous, particularly regarding practical affairs like business, money, and work, it’s best to let things set in before running with them. Applying yourself to your work comes more naturally to you now, and your ideas find satisfying outlets, but pushing things forward is not productive at the moment. Mercury will turn retrograde tomorrow, and while the retrograde period is excellent for rethinking certain endeavors and making improvements, the shift itself today and tomorrow can generate some confusion. Observe and reserve judgment.

Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
Today’s Elemental Balance
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 STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
Today’s Modal Balance
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
Today’s Lunar Phase
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 March 21st:
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).
