Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Early today, the need to be frugal, a reminder of a responsibility, or a feeling of being limited could temporarily undercut your positive outlook or conversations, dear Aries. This is because Mercury in your intimacy sector forms an awkward aspect to Saturn in your sign. It can be a thoughtful time, and quite excellent for making adjustments, but if your mind frequently wanders off to negative or stressed places, then it would be wise to treat the source of your concerns. Letting go, reflecting, and reviewing are appropriate activities today on this day before a New Moon, in fact. You may be pulled in a new direction or towards a new, enlightened perspective in the coming days. If you need to end a significant project (or even attitude), it’s a good time to do so. However, all-new projects or resolutions are best kept for the weeks after the New Moon. Today is better for coming to peace with yourself and closing projects that have run their course.

Taurus

Early today, dear Taurus, try not to overthink things, but do weigh the pros and cons. Communications may be blocked in some way, and you are less likely than usual to share your ideas, possibly second-guessing them. Try to keep a healthy perspective. Sometimes you get so close to a situation that you worry too much, and that may be the case today with Mercury in an awkward aspect to Saturn. Fortunately, it’s a good time to make adjustments and refinements that will benefit you in the long run. Do your best to take the pressure off today, as we’re just a day shy of a New Moon and we’re better off winding down than up. If you can manage it, take part in enjoyable, quiet, and pressure-free activities as you prepare for an upcoming busy period.

Gemini

There can be a nagging sense that you’re not attending to practical details early today, dear Gemini, with a Mercury-Saturn influence in play. Responsibilities can eat up a lot of your time, even if you’re only thinking about them, and perhaps especially so, as this way, you may be expending more energy worrying about not doing something than it would take to get it done and put it behind you! You may be giving more thought than usual to work and health matters these days, but today, you’re inclined to worry rather than resolve problems. It’s not easy to get clarity on any one thing today, so do your best with what you have and sort things through one step at a time. Weigh pros and cons but avoid overthinking today. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, and you’ll be making improvements to your life that help restore balance in the week ahead. Today, take the time to reflect and finish up projects that may interfere with your New Moon goals.

Cancer

Early today, you might think a lot about an issue but may not be any better off for it after much to-do, dear Cancer, so think twice about overthinking! It may be better to talk it through in your head before saying it out loud. If you still think it’s a good idea after considering all the possibilities, then express it. With the energy of a Mercury-Saturn quincunx active early today and a Moon-Saturn opposition later today, imbalances can be a focal point, but this can keep you in a state of limbo and unrest, so aim to make adjustments. It can be challenging to choose the right words or the right approach to fulfill your needs as well as satisfy someone but try not to fret over simple timing problems. A New Moon will occur tomorrow, and this means we are symbolically in the dark at present. While it’s an intuitive, useful time for putting outworn attitudes, bad habits, and cumbersome projects behind you, today’s not in any way ideal for those initiatives that you want to last, grow, and prosper over time.

Leo

It can be challenging and perhaps exhausting to reach a compromise early today, dear Leo, although not impossible! A difference of opinion may feel too personal now and could even bring you down for a bit, so it makes sense to focus on something else and let it go. This can alternatively be a time when you feel overwhelmed by family or household activities but can’t quite pull yourself away. Aim to work with the energy of today’s Mercury-Saturn quincunx instead of against it by allowing competition or criticism to motivate you to improve. While it can feel like a one step forward, two steps back kind of energy, you are likely gaining more than you realize. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow, it’s best to wait to start brand-new endeavors. Things seem to wind down under a Balsamic Moon, so don’t strain yourself. The New Moon tomorrow is bound to stir up new interests, lines of thought, ideas, and learning experiences in the weeks to come.

Virgo

In the first half of the day, there can be a lot to think about but not necessarily any answers, dear Virgo, making patience a real virtue. In fact, it may be best to weigh options rather than engage in significant decision-making just for now. Try not to harp on issues that need more time to mature so that you can more readily enjoy the spirit of progress that’s in the air. You could find someone a little insensitive or unsympathetic, and communications can be a little off with Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn. Or, you might experience blocks to your plans related to fear, worry, or financial realities. This may very well be a nudge to refine and improve your plans or projects. On this day before a New Moon, it makes sense to wind down. In the coming weeks, with a New Moon set to occur in your solar second house, you can often find great comfort in the world of the five senses. Examine insecurities if they arise, as self-understanding can put you in a stronger position as you move into a new cycle.

Libra

There may be a concern that brings you back to reality today, dear Libra, or a challenging choice as Mercury and the Moon form challenging aspects to Saturn. There can be a lot to think about, mainly related to money and valuables or relationship matters, and it’s best to weigh your options rather than force major decisions on these matters. Negotiations may not fully satisfy you and could make things worse right now. A significant other may seem a little distant, unsympathetic, or disapproving temporarily, particularly if they perceive you as frivolous or carefree. Overthinking today can lead you to spend too much time on matters that are moot or need more time to unfold, so try not to waste your time on irrelevant issues now. Today, especially as the day advances, it’s important to seek self-understanding. Do what you can to reflect and muse about what you want for yourself. Avoid new beginnings until after the New Moon tomorrow. Concentrate on ridding yourself of attitudes that have been holding you back from personal success.

Scorpio

It’s best not to rush decisions today, dear Scorpio. In truth, it may be best to focus on making adjustments rather than bold moves. Watch for spending too much time on issues that you can’t change, that are not yet fully developed, or that won’t be a concern for very long. With Mercury in your sign, you are more inclined to live in the head, but today, an awkward aspect can lead you to dwell on the negative. There can be concerns related to energy levels, work, routines, or health that weigh on your mind. Today is the day before the New Moon, making it most appropriate to process instead of push yourself forward.

Sagittarius

You may encounter a need to improve or adjust something you thought was already complete today, dear Sagittarius, or there could be vague disappointments or waning motivation for something you’ve been working on/towards. Try not to overthink things, though it can be a real tendency now with Mercury forming an awkward angle to Saturn. As well, try to avoid getting too worked up about what others are doing or thinking, and keep a lower profile than usual. Obligations can eat up a lot of your day, so it makes sense to clear up your duties rather than avoid them, since they tend to hang in your aura anyway. It’s not a time for bold moves, but the day is fine for weighing pros and cons. On this day before a New Moon, it’s a time for reflecting rather than jumping into action. In fact, in the coming days and weeks, your interests are likely to change. You are moving in a new direction with less concern about your performance and status and more interest in your personal happiness and the people around you.

Capricorn

Early today, dear Capricorn, there can be some interference to manage. It’s not an ideal time for decision-making, as worries and fears may undermine the process with Mercury forming an awkward angle to Saturn. Later today, the Moon opposes Saturn, and family obligations or the expectations of loved ones can weigh on your mind. If you let them assume too much importance, it can be difficult to relax and enjoy yourself. Consider whether you’re putting far too much pressure on yourself. With today’s Moon, you have more impact on others than usual, so use this time in the spotlight well. On this day before the New Moon, it’s better to think about what needs to end or attitudes to leave behind than to begin all-new endeavors.

Aquarius

Early today is less than ideal for finding open channels for expressing yourself, dear Aquarius. In fact, you may find yourself in between others’ dilemmas, whether this is about mediating or overthinking problems. Make a plan to attend to your responsibilities so you can rest easier, but watch out for speaking about a matter prematurely. The Moon is Balsamic today, with a New Moon tomorrow, and while you don’t need to pause your current projects or plans, it’s not an ideal time to start brand-new endeavors. However, it’s a fine time to let go of an unhealthy attachment. The coming weeks are likely to find you very outgoing and adventurous. Opportunities to try or learn new things can emerge.

Pisces

Early today, there may be a situation requiring cutting your losses and moving forward, dear Pisces, or you may be focusing on a matter that hasn’t developed enough to warrant so much attention. There can be a part of you (Mercury in your solar ninth house) that is feeling especially free and happy today, wanting to focus on the positive, new, and untried. Another part (Saturn in the second) may be worried, feeling guilty, and concerned with practicalities or traditions. It’s a good time to recognize the need for adjustments and make edits and refinements. The Moon is in its Balsamic phase today as we close in on the New Moon, which is exact tomorrow. This is a better time for tying up loose ends, meditating and reflecting on recent events, and letting go of what’s run its course and now needs to end. However, it’s not the best time for beginning a whole new project.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 9th:

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).
