Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Friendships can be a touchy area early today, dear Aries. There might be a rude awakening, but something that clears your mind as to where you stand, which allows you to make better plans, ultimately. People might be holding on too tightly to their point of view, and power trips may be the reason behind this. This kind of obstinacy doesn’t lead to compromise or learning experiences, only unnecessary stress, so do your best to steer clear of it. Also, today, Venus turns retrograde, and it will last until November 13th. It’s time to review the past and slow down a little in certain areas of your life. Finances, intimate relationships, and partnerships can be areas of your life most affected by this retrograde since Venus is transiting sectors ruling these areas of life. This six-week cycle can be about playing catch-up with your feelings, needs, wants, and values. This is not a time for making firm, definite decisions, but rather for considering problems from different angles and perspectives and gradually coming to new conclusions. You may very well discover that something you’ve been gunning for may no longer be up your alley, or you could revive something from the past that now seems viable again. Reassessing relationship and intimacy needs can figure strongly. Finances, particularly related to debts or taxes, may need a closer look. If you’re waiting for money or a relationship, you could discover new ways to cope that truly benefit you in the process.

Taurus

There can be harsh words or false starts happening early today, dear Taurus. You can be excited about a project or idea, but you might also face opposition for it. If you’re feeling cooped up or unable to express yourself, try not to stir the pot further. Keep emotional excitement high by doing something you love, but don’t overdo it. Also today, your planetary ruler, Venus, turns retrograde, and it will remain in this apparent backward motion until November 13th. This cycle is about getting in better touch with your feelings, sensibilities, tastes, and values. Since Venus is your ruler, its retrograde cycles are often periods of increased introspection. You are given a chance to catch up with those matters that you’ve overlooked, brushed aside, or simply been too busy to address. You may be looking at partnerships, relationships, your work, or your health and daily routines in a different light. Questions about whether you are enjoying yourself enough can be called up now. On the job, from October 25th forward, it’s time to show yourself what you’re worth, and the focus should be on making yourself happy. Until then, the primary focus can be on companionship. Get in touch with what (and who) truly matters to you. This is not a process that should be rushed, and, fortunately, you have some weeks ahead to figure it all out!

Gemini

Interactions with others can be edgy and tense early today, dear Gemini, and things might seem fine until there’s a difference of opinion. You’re likely to discover that people are holding onto their opinions quite fiercely right now, and there is little rationale for it. If you look more closely, however, it’s likely about power and control. Try as much as possible to keep a healthy level of detachment when expressing opinions or engaging in a debate. There is competitive, provocative, and controversial energy around you now. However, it’s important to use whatever you discover today as fuel for letting go of matters that are only dragging you down. Also today, Venus begins its six-week retrograde cycle, turning your attention to the past and to some of your unacknowledged inner needs, wants, and desires. You could be experimenting with your social or love life during this period. Work matters might be on the tricky side until the 25th, while Venus retrograde is in your work and health sector. Review of health programs or work projects may be necessary now, particularly regarding your enjoyment factor. You might seek ways to derive more enjoyment and pleasure from your daily life. From the 25th to November 13th, there may be some lack of clarity in a romantic relationship. Backward-looking energy is with you on a romantic level, and it’s a period of fateful events and encounters. Your powers of attraction are high, but your love life may be complicated. While reminiscing is potentially very helpful right now, try not to get stuck there! Instead, aim to sort out what truly matters to you during the retrograde cycle ahead of you.

Cancer

You could be defending your values, your worth, or even your spending early today, dear Cancer, with a Mars-Pluto opposition. Watch for a tendency to want to prove something, whether it’s in yourself or coming from others. Because of this tendency, you may want to put off major decisions. Also today, Venus turns retrograde, and will remain retrograde until November 13th. As Venus retraces its steps through your solar fifth house in the first part, until October 25th, you’ll be looking at creative projects, romantic matters, relationships with your children, and home or family matters in new ways, perhaps critically at times. This process is not necessarily about putting creative ideas on hold; it’s more likely that you’re refining them before pushing forward, and this can also be the case for romantic relationships. Past lovers may reappear, whether in person or if you’re a little hung up on them emotionally. You may be playing a waiting game, and you could feel in limbo at times during this cycle, although this can lead to new approaches that truly work for you. A current romantic interest may be difficult to read. You may discover you’ve been undervaluing or overvaluing someone during this cycle, and any insight you gain now can be very useful as you move forward. From October 25th to November 13th, Venus retreats into your home and family sector, and you may deal with comfort issues at home or on a personal level.

Leo

Early today, you may find that sharing your thoughts, ideas, plans, and passions meets obstinacy or disapproval from others, dear Leo. Be kind to yourself and avoid pushing something too hard. Also today, Venus begins its six-week retrograde cycle. While the retrograde period extends until November 13th, the first leg (until October 25th) finds Venus retracing its steps in your family and home sector, and you may be dealing with uncomfortable conditions in the home or with family, or you could be revisiting old personal or domestic problems. The trick is to learn to rely on yourself during leaner times more confidently. However, this is also a time for understanding problems and for reassessing your values and needs. From October 25th to November 13th, communications and your daily life are up for review. You may be thinking about, analyzing, or talking about old relationships and matters or projects and pleasures, perhaps feeling a little stuck in the past at times until you’ve done the processing work. In fact, you can learn a lot about what you want, who you love, and what you value during this retrograde, but important, significant decisions should probably wait until later — all of this processing takes time! Social graces may not be up to par, and it’s essential to avoid taking social faux pas too seriously, particularly around the station today.

Virgo

Arguments entered into early today can reach stalemates, dear Virgo. If you need to discuss something close to your heart, you might wait for a more open and accepting atmosphere to do so. You might also discover that keeping a project or idea to yourself is useful just for now. Pay attention to what emerges today, what seems to push your buttons now, as these can be very revealing. Use restraint today and be patient. Also today, Venus begins its six-week retrograde cycle, and in the first leg until October 25th, will retrace its steps in your communications sector. From October 25th to November 13th, Venus will transit your sector of resources, finances, and self-worth, and you’ll be reviewing these and related matters. You are likely to have meaningful conversations about the past and possibly love during this time. You may be reassessing a course of study or waiting on an application. You could feel in limbo with plans that are not quite finalized, and while you wait for answers, you can do some major rethinking. Returning to old interests, projects, and learning endeavors can be fruitful during this cycle. Later, money management becomes a big topic. You may be playing a waiting game with money. However, when this happens, you may very well discover new sources of income as you are forced to get creative about making a living, so keep in mind that all is not lost, even if it sometimes feels like you’re stuck or moving backward. It’s an excellent period for reviewing finances and collecting financial information, as well as re-budgeting, but not ideal for buying new big-ticket items. If you are good at spotting deals, however, you could find some unusually good ones.

Libra

A romantic relationship or feelings and concerns about someone can become heated early today, dear Libra, but it’s all very complicated! You may need to unravel and explore your emotions before you get to the heart of a matter. People or circumstances can challenge you to confront important, perhaps previously buried issues in your life. Also today, your ruling planet, Venus, begins its six-week retrograde cycle, starting off in your finance sector but then ending up in your sign. The entire cycle lasts until November 13th, and you’re inclined to perceive things a little differently, mainly related to finances, comfort issues, possessions and valuables, and self-worth or value. You may be better off not making life-changing decisions about these matters until you’ve had time to think things through. You might be learning to make do with less, or it may be a time for reviewing your attachments, finances, budgeting, and collecting financial information. These are not ideal days for buying new big-ticket items, but if you have an eye for good deals, you may find that people are parting with things they wouldn’t unload under normal conditions! While you may not always feel confident and sure about your feelings during this cycle, it’s an excellent period for considering how your approach to attracting what you want has served you in the past, and what can improve going forward. Taking extra time to figure out what you want feels natural now.

Scorpio

Old, buried hurts can jump up at you early today, dear Scorpio. Secrets might be revealed, or previously hidden matters can come to light now that might be uncomfortable at first, but in the long run will push you towards the light. Stalemates can occur, so avoid pushing matters for your own mental health! Also today, the ruler of your partnership sector, Venus, turns retrograde, launching a six-week cycle that begins in your sign. As such, it’s personal to you! Venus has been traveling through your sign since September 10th, and you may have been receiving some special attention and perhaps attracting a few admirers. While retrograde, Venus will retrace its steps through Scorpio until October 25th, when it will retreat into your privacy sector for the remainder of the cycle (until November 13th). While your attractive powers don’t wane, you could be a little withdrawn and hesitant about pushing forward in matters of the heart. This is a time to look into your heart and understand your needs more intimately. In the weeks ahead, you’re likely to do a lot of reviewing, reassessing, and perhaps experimenting with your personal image, looks, manner, finances, and close relationships. Take your time with major decision-making! With the shift occurring today, you may experience some indecision.

Sagittarius

There is confrontational energy with us that can lead to a significant release early today, dear Sagittarius, but try to be mindful of what you say and how you say it for best results. No one wins arguments that don’t offer growth potential. Also today, Venus turns retrograde. Romantic matters or your feelings can be on the complicated side these days with Venus in your privacy sector since September 10th. Dealing with past relationships, love triangles, or sacrifices made for a lover can figure strongly in your life now and in the coming weeks with this six-week Venus retrograde cycle beginning today, effectively extending this transit. Secrets or new information may surface, prompting you to rethink current plans and possibly even alliances. Friendships can enter tricky territory later in the cycle (from October 25th to November 13th), when Venus returns to your social sector. Resurfacing of issues and perhaps people from your past may figure strongly. Pleasant surprises, meeting up with past friends, and shows of support can also happen during this cycle. It’s a time to reassess your needs and wants and to rethink current plans. Putting a matter behind you once and for all, getting closure, or reorienting your love life or leisure time and pleasures can be in focus in the weeks ahead.

Capricorn

Be convincing, but don’t be heavy-handed about it early today, dear Capricorn. With a Mars-Pluto opposition, interactions can be tricky, especially when it comes to values and issues of sharing. If something feels very unfair, then you need to talk about it, but your choice of words and tone will be especially important now, so keep it light, as it’s just that kind of energy when people can take things entirely the wrong way. You might uncover a secret or pursue a line of research doggedly, but it’s important to be kind to yourself as well and try not to overdo it. Also today, Venus begins its six-week retrograde cycle, and retraces its steps through your social sector in the first weeks of the cycle (until October 25th). You may feel in limbo about a friendship or your social life during this period, perhaps waiting on someone or for a project to progress. This can certainly give you the chance to think about what and who you genuinely value, even if it’s a source of some frustration. From October 25th to November 13th, career and reputation matters can be areas that require a second look, and throughout the six-week period, romantic issues can be on the complicated side. Let things flow and observe how things are unfolding with as much patience as you can muster. This is a time to explore your unacknowledged inner needs, wants, and desires, and the process can be rewarding.

Aquarius

Others can push your buttons early today, dear Aquarius. It’s a little too easy to get involved in an argument or standoff, as you tend to speak too quickly or harshly and can be a little insensitive or stubborn. You might be acting provocatively, pushing others’ buttons as well, perhaps to see what kind of effect or hold you have on them. Because relationship dynamics can be complex today, it may be best to wait and see or observe the atmosphere around you before addressing sensitive topics or making risky moves. Also today, Venus begins its six-week retrograde cycle, and you’ll do well to review recent events to understand your needs and values more fully. This cycle affects your professional goals or reputation most significantly until October 25th as Venus retraces its steps in your solar tenth house. You may be returning to old problems, or questioning whether you’re enjoying what you’re doing and seeking more fulfillment. There can be complicated relationships on the work front, or you may be waiting for a decision or plan to unfold. From October 25th to November 13th, Venus retreats into your adventure sector, and while some of your plans may require redoing or rethinking, you’ll have the opportunity to see things in a new way, and this can work to your advantage in the long run. It can also be a time to process recent events and catch up with your feelings. When you’re too busy doing, you may not always process what’s going on inside, and now you get the chance.

Pisces

Early today, avoid overloading your plate or taking small flaws and problems too much to heart, dear Pisces. What emerges now is revealing and can point you in the right direction for healing. Also today, Venus stations and turns retrograde for six weeks, beginning in your spirit and adventure sector and retracing its steps here until October 25th. Later, from October 25th to November 13th, Venus retreats into your intimacy sector. Your attention may turn to the past as you catch up on your feelings about relationships, attachments, finances, personal interests, and studies. A communications project may need some refinement. Review, revise, and redo if necessary! If you’re in limbo, keep on doing what feels right rather than let delays discourage you. Most importantly, as you approach these matters from a different angle, get in touch with what you truly value and enjoy. Travel, legal, or educational plans may not be moving forward at the speed you’d like, but delays can stimulate different approaches that prove to be very beneficial. You might revive an old interest or course of study during this cycle. Try to leave important deal-clinching for a later date. Relationships may not be straightforward in the weeks ahead, but it’s a fine time to process feelings and affections.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 3rd:

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).

URANUS

URANUS IN GEMINI

(1942 – 1949) It is important to note that Uranus spends a long time in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual.

Original and inventive ideas may spring to life.

Your generation is full of ideals for a better society. You accept social change and work to bring it about. You will fight against injustice.

NEPTUNE

NEPTUNE IN ARIES

(1861/62 – 1874/75) It is important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign. Therefore the interpretation of Neptune in the Sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This generation have the potential to be spiritual pioneers. They take risks in exploring the mystical realms. This generation may also boast many pioneers in the arts.

3RD DEGREE OF ARIES

Part of Body: Cerebellum

Sabian Symbol: A cameo profile of a man in the outline of his country.

ASPECTS OF NEPTUNE

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. 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. (Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
