Horoscopes
Aries
You may feel that you need to make quite a few adjustments today in order to get back to a state of strong confidence in what you’re doing, dear Aries. These likely have to do with your thoughts or mindset, as there can be some worries or fears that are preventing you from feeling at your best. For best results, work on improving your ability to concentrate, plan ahead, and organize your thoughts. Keeping exciting goals in mind can help tremendously, as tedious work without something to work towards may only serve to bring you further down. Remember that doubts are temporary and, if modest, can help you get to a better place.
Taurus
While the Moon in your spirit sector usually helps you gain important perspective on your life, dear Taurus, today you may be feeling a little tense, worried, or concerned about what lies ahead for you. With the Moon’s intense aspects this morning, fears can magnify, and tensions can overwhelm you. Uncertainty is difficult for a Taurus, but it’s important to avoid overcompensating today – attempts to control people and situations around you won’t lead to resolution of the underlying issue. The trick now is to relax your mind and build your confidence in your ability to manage whatever comes your way. Doubts can be temporary but do pay attention to those that linger and erode your confidence – these are areas that need work!
Gemini
Your attachments or obligations to others can be in focus today, dear Gemini, and perhaps a little complicated. You may be wrestling with expectations, or you may be swinging between trust and suspicion. It can be difficult coming to an agreement about where you’re headed or long-term goals right now. Do your best to let go of things that you can’t truly control, as today and the next few days are important for letting go and winding down rather than taking on more. Mental pressure can be a problem today and tomorrow, however, and while you should do what you can to avoid undue stress, it’s important to stretch your thinking and understand your fears. This is a time for making adjustments.
Cancer
You might experience a dip in confidence or a lull with your thinking today, dear Cancer. This can slow you down, which isn’t a bad thing at this time in the last quarter of the Moon phase. In fact, it’s appropriate to let go and wind down today and in the next few days. Today, doubts or fears about a relationship, venture, or project can magnify. This can be more pronounced the more overwhelmed you feel. While you should watch for worrying too much and be a little more vigilant about what you communicate now, it’s also a good idea to pay attention to areas of your life where you feel vulnerable or to things that need some strengthening. Tighten your plans rather than push things forward.
Leo
If you feel overwhelmed or tense today, dear Leo, it may very well be that you’re a little too scattered or that you’ve been overreaching, attempting to do more than what’s good for you. Your interests are plenty, and you have a lot on your plate now, but if things are falling into disarray, you won’t be in the right frame of mind to accomplish much of anything. The desire to be on top of your health and daily affairs is powerful, but you’ll need to battle distractions. Consider ways to tidy up your life, get organized, make plans and lists, and minimize diversions and distractions. The time spent on doing these things will be returned to you many times over.
Virgo
The Moon in your creative sector most of the day encourages a focus on the more playful, pleasurable, and satisfying elements of your life, dear Virgo. This can serve as a nice boost, although it may leave you a little moody if you’re not getting the feedback you crave or if others seem to be less enthused than you. The energies of today and the next two days can stimulate a bit of paranoia, suspiciousness, or fearful thinking, and this can affect your conversations and decisions. However, if you watch out for this tendency, you may very well find ways to rise above it and learn from it. This is an important period for releasing and letting go of attitudes that no longer serve you well.
Libra
This morning can be a little tense, dear Libra, with the Moon pulling you into yourself and Jupiter encouraging you to go your own way and keep your options open. Whether to play it safe or take a chance may be a question now. There is more intensity than usual in your personal or home life, so your desire to withdraw and enjoy downtime may not fulfill right now, and your personal plans may not take off even if you throw yourself into them, as you might face blocks or opposition. Excess energy can be tapped and channeled into a useful project or satisfying activity if you’re determined, however. Look for ways to lighten your load.
Scorpio
Be aware of a tendency to read too much into situations today, dear Scorpio, particularly if you sense it’s not going to serve you well. There is a tendency to worry too much today and in the coming two days. However, stretching your mind to consider all sorts of possibilities can be useful once you’ve returned to a more reasonable frame of mind, as you have a window into which areas of your life could use some strengthening. You may not feel particularly confident about your creative abilities today, or you may worry that others are not catching on to your work or ideas. This is temporary and can also lead to a substantial edit or refinement that ultimately improves your life.
Sagittarius
You may be doing battle with your expectations today, dear Sagittarius. While the Moon in your solar second house is a generally stable influence, it’s facing some competition, and you can feel a little unsettled in the morning. Fears are likely to be overblown now, but if you examine them, you may get to a position of better understanding. Wherever your mind leads today, look for something to learn from your explorations. As the day advances, Saturn in your sign approaches a square with Pallas, and you may struggle with expecting the worst or feeling overwhelmed when it comes to making decisions. Your tendency is to shoulder all the worry or to manage things on your own, and this can be overwhelming. Consider sharing some of the burdens of decision making.
Capricorn
Your enemy is rigidity today, dear Capricorn, with the Moon in your sign in alliance with Pluto and battling with Jupiter and Uranus. Making some concessions may be necessary now. Taking on far too much can weigh on you these days, and relations with family or those in authority can be tense if you’re feeling overburdened. While it may feel that others are putting too much pressure on you now, consider the possibility that some of the pressure you’re feeling is coming from within. Today and the next few days are important for letting go of excess or unrealistic expectations, although you’re likely to wind up before you get to the point of calm.
Aquarius
The Moon spends most of the day in the sign behind yours, dear Aquarius, and you may be laying low, craving some anonymity or release from overstimulation. As much as you’d like to relax today, life keeps calling you out. Some of this is about excess – you may have too much on your plate, and even though these things are likely highly enjoyable, too much is still too much! If you’re jumping ahead of yourself or if you’re finding it hard to turn your brain off long enough to rest and relax, then it’s time to make changes. It’s particularly important in the next few days to clear your mind of unnecessary tension.
Pisces
While you can feel quite emotionally invested in friends today, dear Pisces, relationships can be complicated. Obligations to others can be tricky. Especially important now is to avoid waiting for others to sense your needs and wants. It’s best to state what you want without too much further ado. Worries about underperforming in the work you do or letting someone down can affect decision-making now. Be aware of the tendency to blow things out of proportion, as doubts are temporary and may even help you make useful edits. Today and the next few days are, generally speaking, a time for winding down and letting go of those things that have weighed you down or overburdened you in the past weeks, making it necessary to avoid taking on additional tasks or commitments.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
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.
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.
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.
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.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
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 22nd:
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).
