Horoscopes

Aries

Venus continues to transit your sign in retrograde motion, dear Aries, and is now halfway through the retrograde cycle. Even so, in just over a week, Venus will move back into the sign of Pisces. Today’s energies are on the impulsive side, but it’s important to wind down rather than wind yourself up. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector this morning can help with this – it’s a transit that encourages you to lay low and regain emotional strength. You are in a pleasure-seeking frame of mind today. Avoid a tendency to act spoiled, but allow yourself some extra rewards.

Taurus

This can be a good day for seeing a relationship in a new light, dear Taurus, or for understanding your feelings about someone or a project. It’s a good time for coming to a friend’s aid, even if this is on a mental or emotional level. Someone may be showing you a special kindness, or you could be seeing a person in a more sympathetic light. A lot is going on beneath the surface of things or behind closed doors this week. Even so, the Moon moves into your social sector this morning and either you seek out like-minded people, or they seek you!

Gemini

You may be seeing a past friendship or group matter/problem in a new light, dear Gemini, and this can be disruptive or exciting, depending on how you approach it! Either way, you’re growing from the experience. You are less interested in traditional or conventional friendships now, and keen to reach out into new social “territory.” Some of you could reconnect with an old friend. The Moon’s move into your career and reputation sector today brings a stronger focus on your responsibilities and emotional investment in your image or career. Today and tomorrow are excellent for taking care of unfinished business.

Cancer

Stimulating experiences on the job or new insight into your reputation can occur today, dear Cancer. You can feel the need to make a few changes in the way you approach your work or working relationships. Love is complicated now, but it may be part of the appeal! The Moon’s move into your sector of spirit and adventure this morning encourages you to rise above the common elements of your life and enjoy a new perspective. This transit stimulates optimism and hope. Today and tomorrow are strong for brushing up on knowledge and doing some big-picture thinking. It’s best to tie up loose ends now with a New Moon occurring in just two days.

Leo

You’re particularly interested in what’s going on in your relationships today, dear Leo. You’re also prouder than usual of your connections and your role in them. There can be a mind-opening experience gained today through exchanging ideas with others, travel, or simply looking at your life from a broader perspective. You’re likely to attract romantic attention or some devoted admirers now. The Moon’s move into your solar eighth house this morning can pull you into yourself or a close relationship to some degree, however. You’re more interested in observing than acting on plans, and this serves you particularly well as we approach a New Moon on the 27th. Winding down is a good idea now.

Virgo

You’re likely to put far more effort into your relationships than usual today, dear Virgo. For one, the Moon moves into your partnership zone this morning, which is a very accommodating position. You tend to seek out companionship during this two-day transit every month. For another, the Sun and Venus align this morning, calling your strong attention to a relationship, power dynamics, and your attachments to others. You might experience unusual desires and attractions. Relationships are on the complicated side at times these days, but you’re also feeling a little less attached than you usually are, and this allows you the chance to assess things more objectively. Watch for impulsive moves, but do listen to what your impulses are telling you! Today and tomorrow are strong for coming to a fairer balance in a relationship.

Libra

Venus is retrograde in your partnership sector and is now halfway through its retrograde cycle, dear Libra. While it’s important to avoid an overly analytical approach with others, it’s nevertheless interesting to observe your connections from this perspective. Some level of detachment is likely now, and this helps you see things you don’t always see. Personal magnetism is strong today, even if you’re not so easy to get! Watch for glossing over matters with others so that you can keep the outward peace, as this can backfire on you later. The Moon moves into your work and health sector this morning, and both today and tomorrow are stellar for tying up loose ends in these areas of life. You have a good sense of what to keep and what to let go.

Scorpio

You are learning new things about old problems again today, dear Scorpio, and you’re also anxious to start fresh. Fortunately, good energy is with you for a new start this week, mainly related to partnership, work, and health efforts. An unusual meeting or friendship can occur today, particularly through daily routines, work, or the pursuit of health goals. The desire to be productive, useful, and helpful is strong but not very likely to happen as your social life and emotions can distract you. Allow for more time to get things done or take a lighter schedule. Today and tomorrow are good for clearing your mind through entertaining or creative projects and hobbies as you gear up for a busy period ahead.

Sagittarius

Continuing today, a new light shines on past relationships and projects, dear Sagittarius. You can feel rather anxious for a fresh start or new direction either romantically or creatively, and the opportunity is likely to emerge in the coming week. However, it’s important to take your time on this as we wind down a cycle. A general tendency to move forward impulsively or to chase superficial desires can be a theme now, but the best thing to do is to wait things out. The Moon moves into your home and family sector this morning. Today and tomorrow are strong for tying up loose ends in your personal life. You’re likely to do some withdrawing and resting now.

Capricorn

You may be feeling a little more detached than usual in your personal life, dear Capricorn, and this gives you a chance to see your attachments more objectively. This is a powerful week for gaining new insights and for new beginnings. You are inclined to spoil yourself a little now, as pleasure sounds good! You’re looking for some diversions from the usual routine. You are amenable and in the mood to spoil someone you care about as well. With family and friends, looking to the past can still be in focus, and while love can be complicated, you may very well find it appealing this way for the time being.

Aquarius

Continuing today, you’re looking at relationships and projects from a different perspective, dear Aquarius. A reconnection with people from the past or the rediscovery of an old interest can spark this. Interesting coincidences can be part of the picture now. Your personal magnetism is extraordinary today! While there is a general air of detachment, you can find yourself in demand. This can be a pleasant time for chatting or enjoying shared activities. It’s not the best time for concentrated efforts. The Moon moves out of your sign and into your solar second house this morning, reinforcing your desire to get comfortable and enjoy yourself.

Pisces

Again today, you may be seeing your money, attachments, and business matters in a new way, dear Pisces. It’s a good time to let go of those things that you no longer need as the energy of today is pleasantly detached! Desires can be illuminated today with the Sun conjunct retrograde Venus in your solar second house. Watch for impulsive moves, but do listen to what your impulses are telling you. Try to avoid making firm plans today and tomorrow with a New Moon set to occur on the 27th. The Moon enters your sign in the morning, and previously buried emotions tend to rise to the surface, demanding attention. It’s a good time to wrap up personal plans.

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.
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

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.

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 25th:

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).

THE MOON

THE MOON IN PISCES
A time to observe, feel, and process. We may pay special attention to our dreams, both of the night and day variety, and the subtle areas of our lives.
