Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
The Moon spends the day in your solar fifth house, harmonizing with the Sun in your sign, dear Aries. You could feel smitten with someone or something and enjoy spreading love and happiness today. It’s a great time to refresh and rejuvenate yourself through activities you genuinely enjoy. You radiate natural energy and confidence. Later today, there can be an air of impatience surrounding issues related to finances, family, or home life due to a Venus-Mars minor challenging transit. Instead, there can be minor disagreements with others as your perspectives seem to clash. Consider that the roots of problems are likely feelings of being ego-drained or overlooked.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon is in your home and family sector, dear Taurus, and is in good shape, favoring familiar relationships and domestic activities. It’s a good time for getting over a hump emotionally. You’re likely to feel stronger and more positive. Emotions tend to settle, especially if you find a project or cause that excites you. Still, later today, a Venus-Mars minor challenging aspect can stir the pot just a little! Someone may not be responding to you as you wish, or your words come across as harsher than you intend. Irritations, poor timing, or social awkwardness are temporary, and it’s best not to read too much into them.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Connections with friends or your connection to your dreams and wishes can inspire you today, dear Gemini. You’re in good shape for enjoying personal interests, and a laid-back approach seems to work best. It can serve as a nice break, and it may indirectly lead to more productivity later. You’re putting out mental feelers now, making it a great time to pick up interesting ideas and tidbits. Socially, there can be some missteps later today. Needs and desires are clashing, and neither side wants to compromise! You can spend time working through this or decide it’s best to back off and let everyone come around. Either way, it’s best to be gently honest now to avoid misunderstandings. Also, think twice about making purchases, particularly if you feel pressured or impatient. Judgment can be off under duress.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
Your heart is in making things work today, dear Cancer. Taking care of finances, personal things, and comfort matters comes naturally with the Moon in your resources sector all day. It’s a find day to clarify your goals. Your emotions are steady, and you look for predictability in your world. There’s some tendency for people to misunderstand a competitive spirit later today, however. While it shouldn’t deter you from your path, it may slow you down a little as you adjust to make minor accommodations and deal with distractions. Disconnects now are likely to be impactful or long-lasting.

Leo
Leo
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Leo, and a positive mindset comes readily, even if you’re dealing with minor annoyances. If there’s something you want to make up for or catch up on, now is a good time. The day’s energies favor personal influence. You could have flashes of inspiration that help you solve problems. Later today, it may not be easy to get onto the same page with others. Differences in taste, method, and style can be slightly more noticeable and grating than usual. They can also lead to missteps or misunderstandings. Fortunately, these are not likely to be genuine problems, although annoying. It may be best to “agree to disagree” and move on. It’s particularly important to avoid speaking too soon on a matter in a public way or professionally.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
The day’s Moon-Sun connection in your hidden sectors favors getting rest and time for reflection or deep thought, dear Virgo. You can feel a sense of renewal regarding your feelings about a matter, admitting to feelings you’ve been avoiding, or understanding yourself just a little better. Even so, mixed emotions and signals are likely later today, with a Venus-Mars minor challenging aspect coming into play. This transit can generate a sense of urgency, which may be helpful to get you moving, but impatience can lead to minor problems. Asserting yourself with friends can be fine and even necessary sometimes, but it can also be misunderstood, so you might aim to take special care that some humility shines through.

Libra
Libra
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your friendship sector, dear Libra, encouraging you to seek out like-minded people or those who accept you for who you are. You have good channels for self-expression, especially through relationships. It’s a good time to give others room to be themselves without any pressure to perform or to measure up–and to take the same liberties. You’ll find it natural to connect with your dreams and ideals. Later today, as much as you may want to pour your energy into reaching your goals, there can be some distractions, likely of a social or emotional nature. It’s temporary, so try not to fret about it, keeping in mind that impatience can trip you up in little ways.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
Someone can recognize how practical and valuable you can be today, dear Scorpio. Work, duties, or routines can thrive due to your increased motivation. You’re more visible today, whether you’ve chosen to be or not, and people may expect you to take the lead. Getting things done is more satisfying than usual as the Moon harmonizes with the Sun in your work and health sector. New interests and studies can be exciting these days, but later today, it may be challenging to focus or to find the time to spare. Personal interactions can be tense in spots as there can be some impatience to manage. Watch for a tendency to want to score intellectual points when a sensitive approach is better.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
You are unafraid to show your uniqueness today, dear Sagittarius, and you’ll find you have an appreciative audience. You take more pride in your creations, and your ability to attract people and things into your life is strong. It’s a good time to take a break to refresh and rejuvenate yourself through hearty pastimes or entertainment. Later today, as we head toward a Venus-Mars minor challenge, there can be disagreements on methods and impulsiveness to manage. A false lead can be frustrating. Romantic sensibilities could clash with desires, and the timing can be slightly off. It’s temporary, but better not to push a sensitive topic or matter.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
You’re in particularly good shape for family matters, domestic activities, and financial affairs today, dear Capricorn. Loved ones are cooperative, and your attentiveness can be at the root of good experiences now. You are more perceptive than usual, as you can quickly cut through the fluff to motivations. You’re tuning in to the hidden layers, and getting to the bottom of a situation is easier than usual. Later today, timing can be a little off. When someone requires a gentle approach, the other is too direct, and it’s better to aim to meet one another halfway. Try not to worry too much about minor periods of incompatibility.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Light conversation can work wonders today, dear Aquarius, whether or not it leads to concrete places. You enjoy coming to others’ aid, particularly on a mental or knowledge level. You’re in an exceptionally companionable mood with the Moon in your solar seventh house all day. Partnering up or gaining perspective through a different viewpoint can figure strongly. Later today, impatience can get in the way of smart assessments with a Venus-Mars aspect in play. Work and home life can feel as if they’re competing against one another. You could feel driven to accomplish particular work or health goals, which can be behind the tension. Aim to make minor adjustments and resolve to manage your time more efficiently.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
You can feel a little more confident in your resources, work, or routines today, dear Pisces. You gravitate to the right methods, or you’re able to sniff out good deals and useful products. The Moon transits your work and health sector all day, and you can be super productive, feeling more emotionally satisfied after handling your duties and attending to your duties or health pursuits. Later today, there’s some tendency to rush through things that require more patience. It may be best to channel excess energy into something positive, but you may want to avoid projects and activities with multiple rules and steps just for now. There can be minor disagreements about styles: when someone is diplomatic, the other wants a more direct approach.

ARIES STRONG

Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.

TAURUS STRONG

Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

Today’s Elemental Balance

 

FIRE STRONG

The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The element of 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.

 

Today’s Modal Balance

 

MUTABLE WEAK

We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.

 

Today’s Lunar Phase

 

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun. 

We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on March 31st:

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).

URANUS IN TAURUS

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

PLUTO

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

(1777 – 1799) It is important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 to 32 years in each sign. Therefore the interpretation of Pluto in its sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This is the generation of worldwide co-operation. People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed.

1ST DEGREE OF AQUARIUS

Part of Body: Right tibial nerve 

Sabian Symbol: An old adobe mission.
