Horoscopes
Aries
The Sun and Mercury meet in your privacy sector today, dear Aries, making it a good time to analyze and process recent experiences and events, perhaps coming to some important conclusions. Clarity can arrive now, likely to do with a career matter or a goal. New ideas coming to fruition can be significant ones. You may be seeing things that you’ve missed in the past, perhaps due to emotions or wishful thinking, or there can be a conversation that reveals something critical to coming to a decision. Information surfacing today points you in the right direction when it comes to putting something that you no longer need behind you or related to your career. You might reawaken a topic from the past today, or have new insight into an old issue. There can be a feeling of purging or release involved with bringing something to light or letting go of a no longer viable fantasy.
Taurus
An idea that you’ve been toying with can take form today, dear Taurus, as new information arrives that clarifies your position. Some of you could gain clarity about or through friendship, and involving education, learning, and possibly travel or legal matters. Typically when the Sun and Mercury form a superior conjunction as they do today, a clearing of the air works well. This may very well occur now, but Venus’ retrograde could interfere with communicating your intentions clearly. This is a powerful time for connecting, networking, and community involvement. Friends have something important to contribute or tell you right now, and opportunities related to home and family can emerge. There can be better self-expression today, new insight, and sudden ideas or realizations that have you feeling hopeful and possibly quite excited.
Gemini
This is a time for seeing career goals, responsibilities, and professional matters more clearly, dear Gemini, with the Sun and Mercury aligned at the top of your solar chart today. There can be an epiphany, or an idea can take bloom now that is significant. You see things in a balanced, logical way, not quite as emotionally, and this gives you the opportunity to draw some conclusions or make decisions. Talking about or writing your thoughts out can be critical for better understanding. Problem-solving skills are super now. Today brings good energy for getting over things that you need to leave behind, living in the present, and looking forward to the future, rather than dwelling on the past. New insights into your career path, work project, or life-plan goals can emerge today. Connect, negotiate, and share successfully.
Cancer
Today is strong for gaining perspective on a matter, dear Cancer, and conversations that occur or news that arrives now tend to help you come to conclusions and solve problems. Issues related to money, learning, travel, or adventure-seeking can come together now and reach a turning point. There can be a clearing of the air or an important discovery or connection made. You can feel a stronger desire to express your opinion or share your ideas and plans. You express yourself with more enthusiasm, and perhaps more importantly, with more faith, and this goes over very well with others. Conversations, news, and thoughts occur now that help you to come to conclusions, solve problems, and clear up misconceptions.
Leo
The Sun and Mercury align in your sector of sharing and intimacy in your solar chart today, dear Leo. There can be a lot of thought given to a personal matter, or there can be a desire or opportunity to talk about something personal with someone. The information you come across now, or the conclusions you make, can be significant ones. You may be clearing the air and feeling some form of release as a result. You can reach meaningful conclusions about a relationship or yourself, as you see things more clearly. Writing about your feelings can also be highly useful, leading to significant realizations. Some of you may reach a turning point or a point of clarity about an intimate relationship or financial matter. Recent ideas can now make more sense, or details can be filled in, mainly related to health and work goals.
Virgo
Your ruler, Mercury, and the Sun meet today in your opposite sign, dear Virgo. Today is strong for taking a step back emotionally and taking a good, objective look at a situation, particularly related to a partnership or creative matter. It can be a day when a missing puzzle piece of information is discovered, or when especially meaningful conversations and conclusions happen. There can be strong mental rapport or engagement with someone today – a clearing of the air or a discussion that needed to happen for some time. Let others lead the conversations now, and listen carefully. Whether you are contributing ideas or playing a supportive role as you bring new light to a problem or good advice to the table, it’s a day for getting places mentally. Some emotional detachment can, in fact, do you a world of good today, and allowing others to lead a conversation or letting them express themselves fully can be helpful right now.
Libra
The Sun and Mercury meet in your solar sector of work and health today, dear Libra. This energy is very useful for analyzing things or approaching matters a little more objectively than usual. There can be new information, a revealing conversation, or a turning point regarding a work or health issue now. An idea or plan related to the home or family can blossom, with details now filling in. In fact, details are of particular importance today – this is a good time to flesh out a plan. Making plans, particularly along health or work lines, editing, refining, making lists, and talking things through, are in focus and useful to you now. There can be an epiphany or realization about a health issue or solution to a work or service matter. The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart this morning, and you’re emotionally geared to set important goals and take care of business.
Scorpio
The Sun and Mercury come together in your solar fifth house today, dear Scorpio, and an overdue conversation, clearing of the air, news, or sudden insight can occur. This is likely to do with love, children, entertainment, creativity, or a heartfelt project. You might learn new information that helps you flesh out a plan, or that brings a recent idea you had to life. You are exceptionally articulate and possibly dramatic today, entertaining others with your conversation or wit. There can be a new sense of clarity surrounding a relationship or project. You are taking a rather objective, reasonable, and logical approach to your life today, and it benefits you greatly.
Sagittarius
The Sun and Mercury align in your sector of home and family today, dear Sagittarius. This influence can serve to stimulate sudden awareness of important issues that help you make better decisions, and can also encourage meaningful ideas and conversations. There may be a clearing of the air or news coming in now that solves a major problem or sets up a new direction or path for you to take. This may very well relate to domestic or money matters. Some of you could be clearing the air about a long-standing problem and seeing opportunities to put the negative elements of the past behind you. You can benefit greatly from conversations about or with family today. Intellectualizing or analyzing emotional matters isn’t always productive, but today it certainly can be.
Capricorn
This can be an important day for paying particular attention to news, details, and ideas presented to you or around you, dear Capricorn, with the Sun and Mercury coming together in your communications sector. It’s a powerful combination for solving problems, fleshing out plans with relevant details, sorting things out, and clearing the air. You or your know-how and ideas can be in high demand. You might also gain significant clarity on your studies or projects now, helping you make wise decisions. This can be a good time for engaging in helpful conversations and learning new ways to approach old problems. There can be a significant discovery, epiphany, or conversation occurring now.
Aquarius
Mainly related to practical matters, energy is strong today for solving problems, learning important details, and reaching a critical turning point, dear Aquarius. Even so, emotional concerns can benefit from today’s added dose of logic and rationality. There can be real benefits to considering details, fleshing out plans with more specifics, and taking a closer look at your money or business situation. Helpful information can come your way, or may already be in place – things simply need to be processed, organized, and sorted. You are likely to see an issue surrounding values, respect, money, talents, or possessions with more objectivity and clarity.
Pisces
You are noticed for what you communicate today, dear Pisces, with the Sun and Mercury aligned in your sign. There can be substantial realizations, epiphanies, and clarifications occurring now, and these are likely to revolve around friendships and fresh ideas for long-term projects. It’s time to verbalize your desires, express your thoughts, and make an impact. You may be driven to express yourself or to communicate with someone, and you may be turned to for advice or asked to speak. Your need to be heard is significant right now, and you can count on others listening. You are especially articulate or clear, and your ideas or advice can be significant. This can also be a good time for work and partnership opportunities.

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.
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
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: 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.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on March 6th:
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).
