Horoscopes
Aries
Quite a bit of restlessness can be stimulated today, dear Aries, particularly when it comes to getting a job done or dealing with details. Tension is possible surrounding work problems and minor but irritating challenges with your daily affairs. Concentration levels can be very poor. This may be a sign that you’re in need of a project that challenges you in bigger ways. Try not to expect to see both the details and the bigger picture at once right now. Conversations and exchanges may not be entirely satisfying now, but it’s less to do with insincerity or the company you keep and more about not being in synch just for the time being. Be as flexible as possible, and watch for displays of ego if you clash with someone over an opinion.
Taurus
People, including you, can be a little restless and temperamental today, dear Taurus, as the Sun and Mars challenge one another. People can be quick to snap at each other, and egos may be at the root. Putting too much energy into satisfying sudden desires can be counterproductive and will fail to satisfy. A part of you could be attracting, or attracted to, some level of drama if you are not in touch with what it is that is actually upsetting your equilibrium. Remind yourself that drama does not lead to happiness. Watch for impulsive spending or risk taking today. In your love life, you may be jumping into our out of something too quickly. Check the ego!
Gemini
Tensions can rise today, dear Gemini, particularly with family or a partner. Someone could be passive-aggressive now, and you can be impatient for an answer. You may be torn between going it alone and taking along a companion, or you may be clashing with someone about how to approach a situation. You crave cooperation, but others tend to be competitive. You may be seeing people as too aggressive for your taste right now. Conflicts may occur, but consider that they might be reflecting your own ambivalence. While tensions can surface, possible solutions might emerge as well, so don’t shy away entirely from a challenge. However, change course if you are getting nowhere.
Cancer
There can be quite a bit of energy surrounding work and routines today, dear Cancer, and possibly an excessive amount. Try to channel this energy intelligently rather than scattering it around. There can be frustration and impatience if things are not moving at a good speed. You might also have to deal with bruised egos in the people around you, especially at work or while pursuing your daily routines. Be a little more vigilant when it comes to situations that could lead to accidents, as there is a tendency to want to rush through things. You seem to have energy to spare, but if you do not take on an active role today, the influences of the day can too easily turn around on you.
Leo
While a Sun-Mars confrontation encourages you to be direct today, dear Leo, this may be taken too far. People can be tense, insensitive, and impatient if they don’t have something productive to do. Love can be difficult today, as there is a tendency for others to be crude or pushy. Risk-taking in love or with money, as tempting as this may be, is not advised. It won’t lead to happiness or satisfaction. If you can direct excess energy constructively, such as through physical activity, and let your intuition engage, you can come to some interesting conclusions along business lines. Watch for conflicts in which high ego drives take over – these go nowhere positive.
Virgo
Stress is necessary and can be a healthy driving force, but stress that sticks with you for too long or pressures you to act too soon is destructive. Today, a Sun-Mars square can stimulate the latter, dear Virgo, and a feeling of being blocked can emerge. This is less about others or circumstances limiting you than it is about your own lack of agenda. You might find that you’re only spinning your wheels today – pumped up about something but unable to do much about it. If you feel caught in the middle of an argument, try to back out of it as gracefully as possible, as it’s likely to be a no-win situation. Aim for moderation and nurture your own ambitions rather than worry too much about what others are doing.
Libra
Watch for impatient moves and communications today, dear Libra, as you have a tendency to rush through things that require more patience, speak before thinking, and come across as tense in your dealings with others. You may be wrestling with indecision or guilt – two things that can stir up restlessness. You may have little patience with mechanical things, driving, and getting around in general, and should exercise more caution than usual. People around you may be on edge and less likely to overlook minor challenges than they are on another day, making arguments and standoffs likely. If you find yourself in a similar boat, consider writing a journal or expressing yourself through safe, productive channels.
Scorpio
Try to tame impulses to overdo, overspend, and push today, dear Scorpio, as there is a small possibility that impatience could lead to damage, loss, or disadvantage. It’s best not to indulge every passing whim. Foresight may be lacking. There might also be conflicts with others over money, values, and matters of respect. Friendships could be a little strained, and it’s important to recognize when ego issues are taking over and spoiling the day. You may become obsessed with something that’s just out of reach. Creatively speaking, however, it’s a powerful day if you can center yourself, relax, and get in touch with your intuition.
Sagittarius
Energy levels get a big boost today dear Sagittarius, but perhaps a little too much. Excess energy can quickly lead to aggravation if you can’t find a good outlet for it. Impatience can trip you up. It’s easier to bruise your ego than usual, and for you to grate on others’ nerves as well. You have a harder time overlooking small frustrations right now. As you pursue your goals, you might unintentionally step on someone’s toes. Conflicts with those in authority can occur now, or you may feel overwhelmed with responsibilities and personal goals, finding little time in the day to get everything done. Do your best not to act out. Try instead to concentrate on what actually matters.
Capricorn
Don’t let sudden impulses and complicated feelings control you today, dear Capricorn, even if circumstances seem to have you focusing on frustrations. You may be wanting to move too fast, or you may very well need a chance to work at your own pace. Restlessness can also take over as you consider all the things you’d like to do, but another part of you is not quite ready to partake. Recent frustrations can emerge now, possibly in a disruptive manner. However, pay attention to what does come up to the surface, as you can learn quite a bit about what you might have pushed to the side and left unresolved. Otherwise, you’ll be meeting up with the same issues over and over again outside of yourself.
Aquarius
The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Aquarius, and this encourages you to take note of pressing emotional needs. While this is generally a good time to put you and your needs first, a Sun-Mars square today can act as a real instigator. The more immature side of the influence can emerge as a result, unless you’re conscious of it and try to rise above it. Don’t allow sudden impulses to control your day, and don’t confuse drama with happiness in your social or love life. Avoid beginning an entirely new project today because it may very well be too hasty, but do recognize your very real need to put your personal stamp on a project.
Pisces
Frustrations on the job or with responsibilities and business matters today are very likely due to a tendency to want to rush through things, dear Pisces, are to be the pioneer. While you should definitely recognize your ambitions and your enterprising, competitive side, you’ll need more time to draw up a plan of action. Haste makes waste today. Instant results, if they are possible, are rarely gratifying. Be sensitive in your dealings today, particularly with a person in authority, a colleague, and a partner. It can be difficult to find the right outlets to express your frustration right now, but if you can direct excess energy into something productive, you’ll be in a good place.

WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 13th:
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 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).
