Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Feeling on edge can be a difficult state to turn into a positive, dear Aries, but it’s also entirely possible with determination. With some tense aspects today, try not to act on a matter that you don’t yet understand fully. Nevertheless, there can be tensions brewing if you’ve been feeling tied down or taken for granted. Money, ownership, power dynamics, and responsibility can also be hot topics. This can apply to actual material goods and resources, but also to non-material, emotional, or spiritual matters. Injustice may be part of the mix of emotions experienced today. A tricky subject is coming to light now, and although it’s meant to emerge so you can finally deal with it, you may feel a tad irritable, perhaps even offended. Ride it out. While there can be a sense that things are up in the air now, ultimately what you’re dealing with now leads to stronger feelings of self-worth, value, security, and comfort. Once you’ve made sense of the emotions that emerge today, you may discover needs and wants you were previously avoiding or too busy to notice. Good stuff! Aim to learn about vulnerable areas that seem to be easily triggered today. It’s possible that a power struggle occurs now. Mars is about to oppose Pluto, which often produces frustrating energies where nobody budges or truly wins.

Taurus

With today’s impulsive energies, dear Taurus, it’s best to avoid jumping into action before getting all the facts. Though you’re gathering up motivation, today can be tense in spots. Family matters can be challenging now, especially if people are expressing themselves coarsely or insensitively. Try not to take this to heart. Another theme weaving itself through the day is a possible obsession with an idea, problem, or line of thought. Try your best to get over attitudes or thought patterns that are too negative to do you any good. You may struggle between personal and professional responsibilities, and finding a better balance will be especially helpful now. Learning about your deeper needs, desires, and ambitions can help clarify your long-term and career goals. Power struggles within the family circle or buried problems can emerge with Mars moving into opposition with Pluto, and it can be difficult to relinquish control even if you know it’s for the best. You may recognize you’ve been clinging too tightly to your objectives, and relaxing them just a little may help bring you back to a better work-life balance.

Gemini

Something previously hidden or secret can reveal itself, or a blast from the past can slow you down and make you think, dear Gemini. Make changes gently now. Avoid obsessive thinking as much as possible, and you’ll feel more in sync with your intuition. Try not to make decisions under pressure. Wait until you have more facts and more patience! Today, things that trigger insecurities or fears about losing someone’s admiration, or bring up fears about making changes. Holding onto an idea too tightly now will prevent you from going forward, growing, and moving on. The best thing you can do for yourself today is to aim to let something go or to release it and get over a hump, as resentment can rob you of happiness. Mars is heading into opposition with Pluto across your communications sector, and differences of opinion can feel loaded because they represent something deeper. Something may hit a nerve about a deeper issue, or you may feel frustrated if someone doesn’t see your viewpoint. Provocative energy is likely, and you might want to sidestep confrontations. But observing and learning from frustrations and their trigger points today and tomorrow is wise.

Cancer

Tension today can temporarily interfere with good decision-making and healthy relating, dear Cancer. You might experience a need for closeness along with a fear of being restricted. Relations can be a little strained, or it can be an impulsive or combative time. Pluto’s influence today and tomorrow can tempt you to think of the worst-case scenario. A veil of suspicion or mistrust may hang over parts of the day. However, there is something to learn from the tension generated now. People may be misinterpreting your intentions and actions or may be defensive and trying to prove themselves. Arguments over ownership, money, core values, or boundaries can emerge with Mars about to oppose Pluto. Money or support problems that may have been weighing you down could reach a turning point, but conflicts over money or possessions may disguise deeper issues. If you’ve been feeling undervalued, frustrations can come to a head now. Keep in mind that compromise is ideal, but getting there means giving a little, so be willing if the other side is ready to meet you halfway.

Leo

Dissatisfaction with the status quo can be at the heart of restlessness today, dear Leo, but take your time on a plan of action that will get you out of a rut. Mars transiting your sign is angling toward an opposition with Pluto, and the temptation to push a matter or to jump into action before getting all the facts is strong but is probably unwise. Power plays can be an issue today with family or partners, but avoid them if you can, as nothing works when people are not respecting one another’s point of view. Embrace change, but don’t throw something out on a whim. Certainly, buried frustrations may erupt or come to a head now, particularly about your independence or freedom. You have no patience for being controlled, manipulated, or coerced. It can be a little tricky, but bringing something that seems dark into the light may very well be a surprising relief. Touchiness is likely, but if you’re willing to get through it and learn something in the process, it can be a highly revealing time.

Virgo

Ideally, today’s nervous energy is motivating if you need a push to step up your game, dear Virgo, but it can be frustrating if pressure builds and you feel the need to make a hasty decision. Today’s energies are charged, and it’s best that you avoid making moves that are too abrupt or startling, but change is vital! Insecurities in relationships today likely stem from a lack of clear communication in the past. Today’s transits can point to seeing the worst in situations, but if you harness the energy carefully, you might be able to uncover the answer to a mystery that’s been weighing you down or stumping you. There can be an agitated quality to parts of the day that leads to unnecessary arguments, so aim to slow yourself down. As the day advances, and Mars approaches its opposition to Pluto, stubbornness is likely to frustrate, and ego wars or power contests can be part of the picture. Minor issues can irritate you more than usual, but the real problems are likely to run more deeply. Keep in mind that confrontations can be messier than usual today. A Mars-Pluto transit has a way of bringing buried matters out into the open. It would help if you had a chance to think and rest outside of the routine, but strong ambitions can make it hard to unwind. Avoid allowing over-attachment to your methods to hijack your day. Instead, plan improvements to your routines and workload so you can unplug and shut things off from time to time.

Libra

With today’s agitating transits, try not to give in to the pressure to make decisions or to take action before due time, dear Libra, particularly with values, money, or questions of ownership. Watch that you don’t jump to conclusions, and avoid falling into this kind of thinking if others seem headed down that road. Managing your own energy, anger, and resources effectively is truly the best way to handle tensions. Still, as we approach a Mars-Pluto opposition, there can be misunderstandings and misgivings. If you aim to learn from what emerges now, these things can ultimately improve understanding. Buried problems seem to appear, often disruptively today. Consider whether you’re holding onto something so tightly that it can’t breathe, and remind yourself that this can only serve to keep you stagnant and stuck. The goal now should be to empower yourself. People can demand a lot from you, but if you look more closely, it’s really about their insecurities and fear, which likely drive their desire to control. You don’t need to prove yourself in the face of unreasonable demands–calm reassurance is best.

Scorpio

Today’s Mercury-Mars-Pluto challenge can breed some tension, dear Scorpio. Mercury is currently in your sign, and Mars is in your sector of career, authority, and rules. It would be wise to check yourself for words you may later regret. Do what you can to take short breaks so that you can center yourself if you start to feel worn down, since mental energy runs high. The negative potentials of the day lie in extremes, so do your best to keep your cool. Whatever stance you take, you can expect someone to oppose it or rebel against it now. While this can be annoying, if you take a step back, you can learn something important. Disputes today tend to be about who has the upper hand. As Mars and Pluto approach an opposition, a fear of being caught off guard may seem to drive decisions. Buried frustrations that have been simmering just below the surface can emerge. Aim to unload rather than dig in your heels and resist learning and growing.

Sagittarius

You can feel quite a bit of pressure to draw conclusions or take the next step, dear Sagittarius. Others seem to be a little more demanding or impatient than usual. Watch for being too adamant yourself, especially about your beliefs, or for pushing an idea that others may not be ready for. Impulsive decision-making can be a real problem now. Think before you speak, as there is a general tendency to express ourselves curtly and insensitively later today, and you’d be wise to keep some observations to yourself for now. You might also consciously choose to avoid rushing matters. While there can be some level of chaos at the moment, what comes to light or finally transpires is ultimately supportive and steadying. Focus on ways to improve your productivity. As the day advances, a Mars-Pluto opposition can pull up buried problems. Fear of change or being in the dark on a matter is likely at the root of disagreements or tensions. Conversations or exposure to different or new ideas, opinions, and methods challenge you to grow today. They help you reframe your thinking rather than hold onto an idea or belief for dear life. When it’s this easy for people to touch upon your sore spots, you’ll find it just as easy to learn about your vulnerabilities and deeper desires.

Capricorn

With today’s sometimes tense aspects, dear Capricorn, avoid pushing something that needs more time to fully understand. While the day can have its ups and downs, obstacles can motivate you to improve your life in crucial ways. Watch for pushiness today. People can be obsessed with their own points of view, and interactions can be challenging, too intense, and at times unhealthy, but you want to move forward, so make plans to improve rather than dwell on past mistakes. Especially as the day advances, there can be competing feelings in a relationship, with Mars moving into opposition with Pluto. Releasing yourself from excessive attachments can figure strongly and can be rewarding, although challenging at the same time. It’s best to avoid impulsive moves or words. Ownership or sharing of power and duties can lead to a tug of war situation with no winners. Money, resources, and relationships can be a little more sensitive to ups and downs. Under tense aspects, it’s all too easy to choose poorly, and it makes sense to second-guess things or wait out bigger decisions. While it can be a fine time to dream up new ideas, it’s not ideal for discovering concrete answers or commitments.

Aquarius

Disagreements tend to happen due to rushing and impatience today, dear Aquarius, so make a point of slowing down and do your best not to jump to conclusions. It also makes sense to watch for rushed decision-making. Partnerships can suffer from irritability if you’re unsure where to direct excess energy. A partner may be a little too impatient or even aggressive in stance today, and then brood or withhold later today! Of course, somewhere in between would be ideal, but a little difficult to get there with today’s tense influences. Nevertheless, you can also choose to use frustrations as motivators to work on something on your own or to set your own pace, and you might find you thoroughly enjoy the time you take to do so. Communications are loaded, and you might feel under investigation. You can also feel quite frustrated with people who seem to have an ulterior motive or an agenda. While you can’t control others, use your own intensity for constructive projects.

Pisces

Keep in mind that there’s something to learn from your interactions with others right now, dear Pisces, because through opposition or obstacles, you might come to a state of stronger knowledge or conviction. Still, tensions are possible, and challenging aspects tend to trigger fears of being out of the loop. Frustrations about schedules, duties, obligations, and lack of time to yourself can reach a head. It’s all too easy to dwell on old hurts, and it’s best not to take this too far. Aim to learn from what seems to irritate you today and work on a plan to tackle it gradually rather than succumb to pressures to deal with things immediately. Long-term problems often require long-term solutions! Be open to learning about your hidden desires if jealousies emerge. Today’s transits are fine for thinking about possibilities, but it’s better to wait before making big decisions, particularly related to matters of the heart and financial affairs.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 2nd:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).
