Horoscopes
Aries
Today and the next couple of days are powerful for setting up new goals, intentions, and resolutions, dear Aries, with a New Moon in your sign about to occur on the 27th and retrograde Venus aligning with the Sun in your sign. You have the opportunity to start anew, especially since you may have recently seen yourself, your relationships, and your experiences in a whole new light. You may be redefining what you want and need from your relationships. It’s also a time for a personal reinvention of sorts – you might decide to remake your image. This morning, however, it can be difficult agreeing with a partner. Even so, through your interactions now, you may arrive at an improved perspective – relationships have a lot to teach you.
Taurus
Recent revelations can fuel new resolutions today and in the next few days, dear Taurus. It’s an excellent time for putting dysfunctional attachments or attitudes behind you, especially those related to relationships. Even so, you’re still in a phase in which you’re reevaluating your feelings, taking your time, and perhaps reconsidering some projects. Even though things feel new and fresh, you need time to process before moving forward. This morning, you can be blowing up with ideas and your enthusiasm is incredible. Take notes rather than jump into action. Rest and reflect now.
Gemini
In the next few days, you’ll be coming to a better understanding of your friendship and love needs, dear Gemini, and a fresh take on long-term projects is on the horizon as well. Recent revelations about the past are bringing you to a point where you are more able to see which patterns you don’t want to repeat in the future. There can be new energy and motivation to go forward with different expectations and demands in these areas. In the coming weeks, there can be a chance to start fresh in a relationship or begin a new one. You might return to your past regarding a friend before moving forward, however. This morning, don’t worry if you don’t see eye to eye with a friend or lover – the back and forth can help you get to your own truth.
Cancer
You’re in an excellent position to better understand your needs by looking back before moving forward, dear Cancer. Recent revelations can now motivate you to begin fresh, and this is especially true when it comes to money, business, family matters, public image, and relationships. You have a window into the past, and you can now see more clearly where you’ve chased the wrong things or steered in a direction that took you further from yourself. Based on this insight, you are likely to redefine your goals and values in the coming weeks. It’s time to seek a more authentic path. This morning, be especially aware if a joke is taken too far. Even so, it’s a great day for reaching out to others.
Leo
Today and the next few days are powerful for making peace with the past and starting fresh, dear Leo. Motivation and energy build to approach your life and your relationships with a new and improved attitude and more realistic expectations. A new perspective on the past can lead to a redefining of some of your beliefs, ideals, goals, and dreams. You might also more clearly see what approaches or expectations you had in the past that sent you along the wrong path. Take some time to set up new intentions now that you know your heart better. Today is strong for reaching out and connecting with people you care about. You’re seen in a very favorable light.
Virgo
Today and tomorrow are quite powerful days for personal revelations, dear Virgo, particularly about past relationships and projects. You can be in the position to put something behind you once and for all and to begin anew on the level of feelings. You see your relationships and attachments in an all-new light, and this can prompt a new plan of action. Your redefined needs can lead to a brand-new approach going after what you want in life on financial and emotional levels. Intimate relationships can benefit from a new start or vision going forward. You have the power to put a limiting attachment behind you now.
Libra
You’ve been looking to the past when it comes to relationships these days, dear Libra, and some might even stay you’ve been stuck there. Unresolved issues may have been a fixation. However, you’re now at a point where you can learn from past mistakes and put unhealthy attachments behind you. Motivation is building to do something about recent revelations. A plan of action hasn’t yet formed, but you’re getting there! Set intentions and goals now that better reflect your newly defined wants and needs, as well as your expectations of others. Energies are powerful for a fresh start or turning point. This morning, failing to come to an agreement with someone may be a lesson in disguise.
Scorpio
This is a time for gaining insight into unresolved matters from the past, dear Scorpio. There are some things you may never know, but you still benefit from putting them behind you. There is powerful energy for doing so now. Today and in the next few days, you are turning over a new leaf, particularly related to work, health, and relationship matters. Motivation builds to make changes or to pursue a new path that improves your life. This can be as simple as an attitude change in light of recent revelations as you now see more clearly where you tripped up or chased the wrong things in the past. Resolutions to change these patterns might be made now, and you have extra support from the cosmos.
Sagittarius
Today and the next few days is a period that offers you a window into the past with an eye on the future, dear Sagittarius. The Sun shines its light on past romantic relationships or opportunities gone by, and you can feel especially motivated to make things better as you go forward. This is a powerful time for reorienting yourself in a new direction. New light could shine on old problems, and now you’re going forward with a new set of expectations and redefined needs. This is not the most self-aware time just yet – you have more thinking and considering to do. However, on an emotional level, you are reaching a turning point. This morning, watch for overstating your case. Otherwise, enjoy the day’s social energies.
Capricorn
You’ve been looking at your family life and career matters from a new perspective these days, dear Capricorn, and now you have powerful energy with you for putting the negative behind you and going forward with a new lease on life. Today and the next few days are about wiping the slate clean and starting fresh. This is a time for discovering information that was previously hidden to you, or for looking at something from an entirely different perspective, particularly related to family relationships, living arrangements, career goals, and finances. You can come to realizations regarding what you truly value and need in these areas of your life, and this reorients you along a new path. This morning, watch for making sweeping statements. Otherwise, it’s a fine day for enjoying big ideas and drawing up exciting plans.
Aquarius
Today and the next few days are powerful for putting outgrown attitudes, situations, and interests behind you, dear Aquarius. In recent weeks, you may have been drawn to old interests and connections, and you’re now seeing them from a new perspective. You’re beginning to see what you truly value and want, and you’re ready to take this knowledge with you and draw up brand new plans. You may be seeing past relationships and expectations in a different light and redefining what it is you want and need from your connections. New information can surface that shines some light on a past matter, or there can be a connection made with someone from your past. Either way, you can feel as if you’re starting fresh. Today, overstating your case can be regrettable. However, you have much to learn from the feedback you receive now.
Pisces
You can be looking at money matters from a new and helpful perspective today and in the coming few days, dear Pisces. Motivation to turn over a new leaf regarding finances, work, health, and relationship expectations can build. Needs and values are illuminated today with the Sun approaching a conjunction to retrograde Venus in your solar second house. Where you may have tripped up in the past regarding business and money matters can become very apparent, and this can be a sudden hunch or discovery. Insight gained now helps you begin anew and clears the slate for newly defined goals. You might find it easier than usual to let go of personal possessions or other attachments that are cluttering your life, both literally and figuratively speaking.

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.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
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.
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.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
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 24th:
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).
