Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Moon heads into your spirit sector, encouraging you to enjoy an optimistic perspective, dear Aries. A change of pace can be most welcome at this time of the lunar month. While you crave more freedom and space with this transit, today’s Moon-Saturn connection encourages you to take things step by step. Feeling organized or having a plan can boost your mood. Relationships feel a little stronger now. Still, you’re inclined to assess certain beliefs, projects, learning paths, or interests, wondering if they’re genuinely benefiting and representing you.

Taurus

You know the value of getting practical things done today, dear Taurus. The Moon heads into your intimacy sector for a couple of days, and you’re looking to focus or specialize. Good energy is with you for resourcefulness, and you can do some satisfying and meaningful work, whether this is related to a job or a personal endeavor. You might uncover a resource that helps you tremendously. You’re a little more serious than usual, and focusing on your priorities figures strongly now. A nice feeling of equilibrium contributes to an even mood today.

Gemini

With the Moon’s move into your partnership sector today, you’re focusing on your social life or relationships, dear Gemini, or you’re less inclined to want to go things alone. Nevertheless, you know the value of accomplishing practical things as the Moon interacts with Saturn–you simply want to pair up with someone to do so, or you seek feedback. You can be especially interested in doing your best–your performance matters more to you than usual. You have a good sense of what to expect from yourself and others today, helping to keep things reasonable and fair. You may recognize that letting someone else take the lead in some way can help you out. Your mood is optimistic, helping you bring projects to completion and connect more confidently with others.

Cancer

You may gain some helpful insight into a friend’s situation today, dear Cancer. The Moon heads into your work and health sector, and for a couple of days, you’re paying more attention to getting your daily affairs in order. You want to do your best today, and your performance matters more to you than usual. You can be happy to make improvements, and you might benefit significantly from investigation or research. Looking into health and wellness programs or ideas, and exploring what you might do to make the most of these things and your work can be successful. Even so, you might be questioning some of the things you do for work or in service to others. It could come to light that it’s better to slim down your duties to focus on the most important ones.

Leo

With the Moon’s move into your sector of joy for a couple of days, dear Leo, you might especially enjoy activities that allow you to create, compete, or play. Constructive conversations or activities with someone special can figure strongly. Someone or a relationship might motivate you to better yourself or do your best. While today’s energies are fun, they’re even better if you can apply structure and assign meaning to your pleasures, such as to a creative pursuit. The reason for this is the harmony between the Moon and Saturn, encouraging you to make the most of your time. There is some tendency to fall back on your personal life rather than reach out, however, when a better balance may be better for you.

Virgo

You are more intensely aware of your need to feel secure today, dear Virgo, so taking steps toward your security goals seems natural now. You might also feel a strong desire to settle down or settle in as the Moon moves into your home and family sector, where it will stay for a couple of days. With the Moon reaching out to Saturn, you’re also in a wonderful position to gain an advantage in your work. You’re more likely to follow the rules and stick with traditional or tried-and-true methods. Fortunately, you have both practicality and intuition working for you now, opening you up to learn from mistakes. There is a practical cleverness to you that draws others to you.

Libra

You’re feeling out your needs for pursuing your mental interests today, dear Libra. Staying busy and active comes naturally now. With the Moon’s harmonious angle to Saturn, you can arrive at some meaningful conclusions. A practical mental focus can be helpful, and it’s an excellent time to learn something constructive. Your own advice could be in demand now. Fortunately, you have both practicality and intuition working for you. You might enjoy applying yourself to creative projects or adding an artistic touch to your routines. Gaining an edge in your craft, hobbies, or work can figure strongly.

Scorpio

You can feel prompts to get a good handle on your money, valuables, or resources today, dear Scorpio. You’re especially aware of those things that ground you, make you feel secure, and keep you focused on the moment. The Moon leaves your sign and moves into your resources sector, harmonizing with Saturn. You may gain a special edge related to family, home, or finances. Circumstances may lead you to recognize the need to let go of particular possessions or even attitudes towards business and money matters to move forward.

Sagittarius

The Moon moves into your sign today, dear Sagittarius, and you’re projecting warm but determined energy. You’re in a naturally positive frame of mind. Feeling a surge of emotional energy now, you want to express yourself and perhaps improve and advance. The need to connect with others can emerge. With the Moon in harmony with Saturn, constructive interactions can arise, and a focus on personal interests or projects can develop. You’re also quite prepared to take care of business, and you may be working hard and enjoying the process.

Capricorn

Today, you begin to need extra time to and for yourself, dear Capricorn. The Moon moves into your privacy sector, and you can find more support and warmth by listening to your own heart and deeper needs. You may feel as if the cosmos want you to keep a low profile for a couple of days. Still, the Moon harmonizes with Saturn today, bringing good energy for sorting and organizing. It’s a fine time to take care of loose ends on a financial or business matter. Whether you’re doing catch-up work or taking a break, it’s about winding down a lunar month. Aim to connect with your feelings but also stay anchored, perhaps expressing yourself through practical activities.

Aquarius

You want to be useful and productive today, dear Aquarius, but you also need to have a bit of fun with the Moon’s move into your social sector and its connection with Saturn in your sign. Someone may be leaning on you for support or strength. You might team up with someone to get something important done or pursue a cause or personal interest with particular dedication. You’re getting a solid sense of your capabilities, which leads to good choices. There is grounding energy with you now. Still, your motivation builds as you have a stronger sense of where you’re heading.

Pisces

You have good executive ability and the intuition to back things up today, dear Pisces, thanks to a Moon-Saturn connection. Being responsible or in the position of responsibility becomes you and perhaps fulfills you as well. Today is also strong for strategizing and focusing on solid ideas and plans. You have the chance to take care of outstanding problems and loose ends. The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart, reminding you of the need for structure, organization, and practical solutions to problems. Your desire to triumph is strong, and your sense of what to do next is on point.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 12th:

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).
