Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You can see the best of the traditional and progressive worlds and apply these things to your work, career, health, and partnerships, dear Aries. Communications, particularly with friends, are more rewarding and useful than usual, and they might even lead to a solution to a problem or another form of advance. Mental rapport with others can be satisfying and inspiring now. Otherwise, it can be a fine time to gain insight into your social needs, a friendship, or a long-term goal. There can be a good sense that working with others or sharing ideas with someone can be productive. Emotionally, you’re pulling up deep feelings about performance, ambitions, and goals today, motivating you to do your very best.

Taurus

You have strong influences working for you today for communicating and strategizing, dear Taurus. It’s more effortless than usual to combine teaching and learning or work and play with great success, and ideas can emerge that help you have more fun while getting the practical things done. You are using your resources intelligently and planning effectively. It can be a good time to discover information that gives you an “in” where you thought there wasn’t any. It’s a time to honor freedom of spirit and uniqueness. Discussions can be rousing and inspiring–you might interact with people who stimulate you to do your best. Opportunities to explore new topics can be emotional refreshment.

Gemini

This is a potentially excellent day for understanding the perspective of someone significant to you, dear Gemini. There can be significant thoughts, ideas, or discussions related to an educational or relationship matter now. You seek a little more intensity or depth in your activities again today with the Moon transiting your solar eighth house. You’re likely to find creative ways to express your feelings. You can be quite determined to get somewhere with a project, business goal, or a close relationship. You’re willing to put in the extra effort to study a matter further, do a little strategic thinking, or spend quality time researching. You’re in the background, but there’s quite a bit of power in this position.

Cancer

Conversations can be highly motivating today, dear Cancer, or strategizing and planning on your own can be satisfying and successful. Seeing a new layer of a situation can figure strongly. A missing puzzle piece of information about a financial, work, or intimate matter can emerge, helping you put something behind you or wrap things up. You are more sensitive than usual to a partner, special friend, or someone very close to you today. The Moon transits your opposite sign again today, and the opportunity to see things through another’s eyes can be eye-opening. There can be a meaningful exchange that ultimately motivates you to make improvements.

Leo

You’re in good shape for helpful conversations or joint decision-making today, dear Leo. Decisions related to creative projects and hobbies tend to be sound, and collaboration is highly favored. It’s a strong day for learning something significant about a partner, partnership, or creative matter. The Moon spends another day in your sector of habits and routines, stimulating a real need to set things straight. Cluttered or unfinished matters can be difficult to tolerate now. This transit continues to kindle your desire to work or perform and be productive. You might discover new ways to manage, organize, and improve your everyday affairs.

Virgo

This can be a strong day for arriving at new insight with home, work, or health matters, dear Virgo. Cooperation with co-workers or family can be most helpful, and collaboration can have good results. Improvements in your relationships or home life can be on your mind and might involve getting rid of stuff you no longer need. On a mental or emotional level, you may be doing a similar inventory. The Moon spends another day in your sector of leisure, creative expression, and heartfelt pursuits, and you’re more invested in or sensitive to the state of your personal projects, hobbies, or relationships. Acknowledging and processing complex emotions can figure strongly now and can be very useful.

Libra

You benefit from a transit that puts you in a great position to collaborate, get an edge in a personal interest or hobby, or gain an advantage with new information today, dear Libra. Conversations and musings can lead to fabulous ideas or might even spark interest in a significant project with long-term potential. You can get your message across to a receptive audience if you so wish. Communications and learning endeavors can be especially successful. The Moon spends another day in your home sector, pointing to a genuine need for familiarity, security, and comfort at this time in the lunar month.

Scorpio

Today’s energies are good for getting to the heart of a matter, mainly related to money, security, and family, dear Scorpio. A conversation can help clarify an important topic, or new ideas for making improvements can come in handy now. You seem to zero in on the most valuable details of an issue now. You might gain new insight into a family or financial matter, and you see the value of mapping out a plan. Today is good for promoting your ideas and intuiting your next move with a project. It can be an excellent time to pour your energy into constructive projects that refresh you emotionally.

Sagittarius

Today’s transits favor networking or the formation of interesting and unique friendships, particularly related to your work or business, dear Sagittarius. Sharpening your mind or exploring new interests can figure strongly. You can have some interesting epiphanies, particularly about matters revolving around communications, studies, transportation, and acquaintances. Still, your practical affairs take prominence with the Moon once again in your resources sector all day. It’s a time of the lunar month to spend more time on your needs for comfort, security, and predictability.

Capricorn

You’re in a particularly good position to clarify your thoughts today, dear Capricorn. You seem especially able to get to the heart of a matter or identify the most important elements of a situation. Ideas are especially notable now. Today is strong for inspiration and intuition, particularly on business or financial lines. It can be a great time to develop plans and strategies or schedules, map out a game plan, and research or investigate options. The Moon spends another day in your sign, and acknowledging your emotional needs can be most handy at this time in the lunar month.

Aquarius

Transits today help you connect with people who are truly helpful, supportive, or otherwise in your corner, dear Aquarius. Teamwork can be especially fun and prosperous now, or you can come to important realizations about your friendship needs. Sharing ideas and news can be most rewarding. There can be creative vision and inspiration now. The Moon spends another day in your privacy sector, and emotional replenishment is necessary. Aim to process and digest recent events and feelings before coming to big decisions or turning points. Try to tame temptations to “do it all” and give yourself a well-earned break.

Pisces

You might experience a strong desire to finish up a project today, dear Pisces, and you’re in an excellent position to gain insight into what you may need to cut out to go forward in a freer, lighter way. Information surfacing now tends to be helpful and purging. There can be breakthrough thinking, particularly related to your career or long-term plans, as well as projects that belong in the past. The Moon spends another day in your social sector, encouraging you to think more deeply about your happiness goals, connections, and special causes or pet projects.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on March 8th:

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).
