Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

This can be a day of inspired practicality, dear Aries, and it’s also strong for personal appeal. There is more patience in your approach to the world than usual today, and if channeled well, you can get a lot done. Solving practical problems or attending to the details of daily existence is natural and easy today. A sense of accomplishment comes from getting a handle on your life in small ways that make a significant difference. Others appreciate your warm confidence, and your judgment of what’s valuable is on point.

Taurus

It’s a strong time to let go of bad habits and start anew, dear Taurus. You might now be thinking of a game plan in this respect. Energy levels should be good, and your confidence is realistic. There’s playfulness in your manner, and it’s getting you attention! Relationships thrive with openness and willingness to listen, observe, and learn from one another. You’re in a unique position to innovate and break ground, and you could find that it’s easier and more natural to express yourself freely and in new ways.

Gemini

Today’s transits are excellent for decompressing or letting go of something for your own good, dear Gemini. Freeing yourself from limiting attitudes can be a huge relief. There is a strong and pleasant focus on the familiarity of home or comfortable situations and people today. It’s a good time to bring a bit of imagination to your home and family life. However, it’s also a strong time for connecting and reaching out. An acquaintance can hold you in high esteem, and their admiration can motivate you to be your best. You’re a good judge of character right now.

Cancer

You are in an especially cooperative mood, dear Cancer, and how you handle social situations makes you stand out successfully. You might bridge gaps with others through thoughtful gestures that tell people they mean a lot to you. Fulfilling duties can make you feel good. It’s also a time to map out a long-term game plan — a flexible one! You have a good sense of which projects or paths are the most worth your time and effort, which makes decision-making much improved.

Leo

Your emotions tend to stabilize today, dear Leo, but you’re not inclined to do all the same things or get stuck in a rut or routine. It’s a particularly strong day for money instincts and bringing some imagination into your routine affairs. You could be taking the lead, putting aside personal matters, and taking care of business. Yet you’re also in good shape for connecting with others in easy, natural, and pleasant ways. Sharing ideas is working almost magically. There’s more smoothness to your interactions, as the tendency is more to listen and understand than to make a point. The Moon in your solar second house today is good for grounding you.

Virgo

You’re in good shape to balance your emotions and express yourself today, dear Virgo. You are marching to the beat of your inner drummer. Self-directed activities fare the best right now. You’re feeling more exuberant, and you tend to see more opportunities. You want to let out any recent pent-up feelings and find some way to pamper yourself! You could be seeking validation for your emotions. There may also be a need to buckle down with your studies or writings or back up recent opinions and findings. Today’s energies are good for more openness in close relationships, particularly as the day progresses.

Libra

It makes sense to find time for yourself today, dear Libra, and doing so can be emotionally cleansing. Private and emotional matters are in focus and thrive right now. You’re drawing energy from your dreams and reflections and can quietly accomplish much. Your powers of intuition run very high. Someone could lean on you for support, or you might give of yourself anonymously and derive much emotional satisfaction in the process. Relationships are more open than usual, and you can get closer to someone today. Instincts for money are on the mark.

Scorpio

Strong energy is with you today for self-expression, dear Scorpio. You gravitate to lively exchanges. This could be a socially powerful day for you. There is something in how you meet the world that is very appealing and draws people to you. Friends and associates hold you in high esteem today. It’s a particularly good time for making connections through your work or the pursuit of your routine goals. You’re a good judge of what will work well in the long term and where to put your attention. A new method that helps you in your daily life can be in focus.

Sagittarius

It’s a strong day to pursue goals, feel pleasantly ambitious, and make interesting connections, dear Sagittarius. A sense of mission or purpose drives you to success. There can be recognition for your more unique ideas and methods. Fulfilling responsibilities, contributing, and feeling useful fill an emotional need. It’s also a good day for pleasing energy with a love interest or friend–your appreciation of someone goes a long way toward bonding. In turn, a feeling that others are either cooperating or letting you do your thing helps your productivity.

Capricorn

You’re discovering mind-expanding experiences that broaden your horizons, dear Capricorn. You seek to be free in your communications and actions, and you enjoy sharing a vision, belief, or idea. Your unique perspective on matters can fuel your appeal and magnetism. Being direct and open comes easily and is appreciated by others. Creative juices flow so naturally that you hardly notice it, but don’t let opportunities to put your unique creative “stamp” on things pass you by. Taking a detour from the usual routine can be emotionally refreshing, but you also enjoy peace and cooperation in comfortable surroundings.

Aquarius

You’re in great shape for tackling problems or facing fears today, dear Aquarius, and even if these seem to stimulate excitement or conflict, you enjoy a sense of peace. This is a good day for accessing your inner wisdom and using your powers of observation. You’re especially aware of what motivates you, and you should take advantage of this greater understanding of your inner workings. Emotional cleansing can come via honest conversations about personal matters. There can be a healthy flow and understanding with someone special today. Relationships get a boost through openness and willingness to be vulnerable.

Pisces

You can feel in sync and supported in a relationship today, dear Pisces. It’s a good time for cooperation, and energies are strong for personal appeal, particularly because you are very willing to listen to important people in your life. Success seems to come more easily today when you pair up. Others tend to support you, and you quickly return the favor. Getting what you give and giving what you get — this primary energy works well now. Try not to place too much emphasis on protocol and responsibility for best results today.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

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).

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

THE MOON

THE MOON IN VIRGO

We have an emotional need for order with the Moon in Virgo. Diet, nutrition, health matters, work, and routines are in stronger focus. If we’re feeling out of sorts emotionally, we might also experience symptoms on a physical level now.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON

OPPOSITION MERCURY Orb 0°11′ Separating

There can be disagreement between logic and feeling, the heart and the head. Relationships can be somewhat strained as responses to one another can be too intellectual/logical or too emotional, swinging between the two. Nervous energy, hypersensitivity.

OPPOSITION SATURN Orb 6°49′ Separating

There could be a realization that is disappointing or depressing, a feeling of limitation, or an experience of being blocked or thwarted now. There could be a lack of warmth and sensitivity experienced now, and self-protectiveness.

16TH DEGREE OF PISCES

Part of Body: Cruciate ligaments of the right foot

Sabian Symbol: In a quiet moment, the flow of inspiration.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN

CONJUNCTION MERCURY Orb 9°20′ Applying

SQUARE MARS Orb 5°36′ Applying

Circumstances spur us into action. Aggressiveness and conflicts are possible now, and we may be coming across as more aggressive or combative than we know. As long as we channel the excess energy constructively, instead of wasting our time arguing, we can accomplish much. Watch for impulsiveness and premature action. We are more competitive than cooperative at this time.

SEXTILE URANUS Orb 0°07′ Separating

You will have the opportunity to express your individuality and unique talents.

CONJUNCTION CHIRON Orb 3°27′ Separating

You have a childlike innocence in your personal relationships, which makes you vulnerable to emotional pain. You fear commitment and rejection. You may experience pain in early relationships, but this pain is usually healed giving you insight and wisdom in later personal relationships. You see the beauty in people who have been cast aside by others, and develop the ability to be a teacher or healer in intimate relationships.

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).
