Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With today’s New Moon, dear Aries, your desire to be productive, useful, and helpful motivates you to start fresh. Increased work, chores, and attention to your daily affairs and mundane tasks can be in the cards, but also bring a sense of accomplishment and stronger confidence. You seek to improve your well-being and routines and can be motivated to bring creative, happy energy to your work in the week ahead. A new health program or fitness routine could be implemented in the coming days, or you could do a top-to-bottom reorganization of your workspace. Keep in mind that while there is an opportunity to start fresh, your goals should be gently challenging and reasonable enough that you don’t psyche yourself out before even starting. Pace yourself! You’ll need to battle divided attention and an urge to do it all–try not to run ahead of yourself. With an impending Mars-Neptune square, there can be some confusing or disorienting energy. You may not know where to begin regarding tackling projects, or you could experience a temporary questioning of what you’re doing or where you’re headed. Desires can be sudden or unusual, distracting you from your path, and they may be more about procrastinating than filling a deep need, so do your best to tune out distractions. However, if you have been ignoring your needs to escape, rest, or indulge your imagination, this aspect may serve as a reminder to do so, acknowledging the importance of these needs in your life.Taurus
Today’s New Moon can open doors for you on romantic and creative fronts in the coming weeks, dear Taurus. It’s good for reorienting yourself in a new direction on an emotional level. You want to start fresh on creative or romantic matters, and expressing and enjoying yourself more fully can be a goal. There may be some concerns about money or comfort issues, but it’s a good time for a new and improved approach to leisure, love, dating, pleasure, or pastimes. In the coming days, you might start a new hobby or find new avenues for entertainment and creative expression. This lunation encourages you to explore your passions and creativity more heartfully. Aim to pace yourself and allow the process to unfold–it’s never a good idea to rush things around New Moons. It’s a time for turning over a new leaf, mindfully, and current events can bring out your feelings, romantic inclinations, and creative urges. We’re heading toward a Mars-Neptune square, and there can be some ups and downs or confusion related to friends and resources. You may temporarily feel a little lacking in direction, guidance, or support. It can be tempting to assert yourself if someone is overstepping your boundaries, evasive, or absent when you need them most. Think of this aspect as a checkpoint when you’re assessing whether you have all the right supplies and fuels before pushing forward with your pursuits.Gemini
The New Moon occurs at the bottom of your solar chart today, dear Gemini, and it can inspire you to focus more heartfully on your home and family life. New beginnings in the week ahead likely relate to home, family, comfort, safety, familiarity, and long-term business ventures. You can feel excited about starting fresh or approaching these life departments in novel ways. Future goals can be redecorating your home or establishing greater peace and comfort with your loved ones. It can be the time for a domestic makeover! A sense of mission is building regarding your domestic world or living conditions or arrangements. However, we’re approaching a Mars-Neptune square, and there can be a temporary dip in motivation levels as you are unsure of your ultimate destination. You don’t have to have a far-reaching goal or end game to make some progress. Set small challenges or goals and work towards them in the meantime, and eventually, the bigger picture will fill in. Watch that you’re taking actions that serve you well and avoid those things that seem to alienate others, particularly bosses, parents, or the like, or that might steer your reputation off course. This transit can feel deflating but is more like a checkpoint for your expectations.Cancer
After today’s New Moon, new beginnings related to communications, mobility, and commuting are in the works for you, dear Cancer. You’ve recently awakened to a stronger desire to reach out, learn, connect, and share your ideas, and with this New Moon, you’ll feel more directed and in charge. Launching new projects and implementing ideas will get the green light, but do consider that objectivity is not yet with you. Take a bit of time to form a plan. It’s best not to push things. Learning new or improving current skills, making new acquaintances, or connecting with others more meaningfully can figure strongly. You’re making a difference with what you say or how you connect with others. Today’s New Moon is about starting fresh mentally. Aim to engage your more creative or spiritual needs today rather than taking on too many projects or commitments, with a Mars-Neptune square in the works. It can indicate temporary deflation or discouragement. There can be some dashed hopes or moodiness to manage.Leo
Today’s New Moon occurs in the sector of your solar chart that rules your earning power, comfort, and security, dear Leo. It can be a time for new approaches to your finances, income, personal resources, valuables, and self-worth. It’s time for a fresh start to how you deal with matters of usefulness, respect, and stability, and you’re likely to feel encouraged, inspired, and determined to make positive changes. A take-charge attitude can emerge from a feeling of lack, a dream, or sudden fear that you’re not on top of things–even from an event that reminds you of who or what you value most. Sometimes, feeling temporarily insecure about your situation is enough to motivate you to strengthen your position. While money management can be in focus with this lunation, it’s also a fantastic time to enjoy earthy and grounding activities. Be sure to ease into new beginnings. You may need to accommodate a distraction, delay, or disappointment before pushing forward as Mars and Neptune approach a square. It’s temporary, and it might very well redirect you. The desire to escape or enjoy a change of pace is strong, and if you’ve been hard on yourself energetically in recent days, you can feel a little disoriented just for now. There can be confusing or bothersome boundary issues to sort or wait out in a friendship. This transit ultimately encourages you to slow down to avoid depletion.Virgo
With today’s New Moon in your sign, dear Virgo, it’s a time to set your intentions for the year ahead related to your personality, independence, personal image, and effectiveness. It’s one of the best times to consider making personal changes that empower you. However, it’s essential to avoid going over the top with self-assertion now, as you are inclined to make your point quite dramatically. Watch for a feeling of urgency to fill your desires, as the more you push, the more you meet with resistance. Rushing and impatience tend to exacerbate or create problems now. It’s a time of personal reinvention, but it’s best to take some time with new beginnings. Later, you might experiment with new ways of presenting yourself and approaching the world. Make plans to pay more attention to your own needs and happiness during this period when healthy self-focus is especially appropriate. The chances are good that you’ve been feeling ready for a reboot or restart. Following a routine, instructions, or a schedule can be difficult later today as we approach a Mars-Neptune square. You can experience a strong need for something new or different. Vision may be off when it comes to a significant other or partner, and your imagination can take you on a swing ride, as you can imagine the best one minute, and the worst the next. You are a little more sensitive to imbalances with this transit in play. While you’ve recently regained some motivation for career endeavors or big plans, today can be confusing and even deflating. If appointments are canceled or plans are changed, try to treat your freed-up time as a positive, as it can very well be.Libra
Today’s New Moon has the power to push you on a new path of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, dear Libra. This can come in handy for when the Sun begins its transit of your sign on September 22nd. The need to gain a better understanding of past events becomes evident now. Circumstances prompt much-needed downtime and introspection. In the coming days, you can be particularly motivated to improve or pay special attention to your private life, mental health, and spiritual life. Getting comfortable with your inner needs and desires should come first for best results, and understanding recent events is part of this. Eliminating unnecessary material things can be helpful, and so can weeding out problematic thinking or attitudes that are not doing you any favors. Think of this New Moon as a gentle push to put the past behind you with plans, actions, or even symbolic actions. You’re tying up loose ends or dealing with secrets, private matters, and karma. With a Mars-Neptune square in play today, misreading situations tends to be about feeding wishful thinking or fearful thinking. If you’ve fallen behind on taking care of some of your most essential needs, now’s the time you can be wearing down. There may be the need to back something up with facts and details, but you feel a little disorganized, or opportunities seem impossible for the same reason. Aim to keep your personal life in its place for now with this transit distorting the lens. It won’t be long before the wind returns to your sails.Scorpio
The New Moon today points to a new take on a friendship or project, dear Scorpio. New beginnings in the week ahead relate to friends, networking, community, causes, and happiness goals. It’s time for a fresh start or a new approach! Fortunately, you’re looking forward to new and exciting projects or other happiness goals, and it’s highly motivating. You’re learning to pay more attention to your dreams and wishes, and it’s a good time for improving your connection to others or your community and, in the process, the quality of your life. However, you should take your time with your new beginnings. Aim to pace yourself. If you’ve been dissatisfied with particular associations or find yourself lacking in your social life, the coming weeks are the time to take charge and make changes. Later today, if you’re feeling exhausted or especially sensitive to imbalances, prioritize treating yourself with kindness and gentleness, both physically and emotionally. With a Mars-Neptune square, you may need to get over a temporary spell of deflated feelings. Aim to explore the areas where you might need some more discipline.Sagittarius
Today’s New Moon occurs in your career and reputation sector, dear Sagittarius, and you may need a fresh start, redo, or new commitment to life path goals. Opportunities for improving your image or reputation can emerge. The week ahead is for redefining your objectives and committing to a plan or responsibility. There can be the need to follow the rules or straighten out an area of your life. It’s a time of year when you’re more aware of your impact on others, but answering to yourself and your needs and capabilities is also part of your success story. Finding a balance between responsibilities and desires can be challenging but rewarding. Think about what you want to accomplish down the road, and avoid pushing something too fast right now, as it may be premature. Pace yourself for the very best results. Today, it may be best to consider visualizing your next move before actually making it. This goes double with a Mars-Neptune square coming into play that requires some reorientation. You can be uncertain about your options temporarily, or something or someone is draining you, and you need to take a step back to catch your breath or reimagine your plans.Capricorn
Today’s New Moon occurs in your sector of spirit, higher learning, and perspective, dear Capricorn, stirring your worldview and need for different activities and learning experiences. The coming week is a time of increased bravery and spontaneity and a period for gaining new knowledge or fleshing out your knowledge of particular subjects. You’ll be building your faith and understanding where you stand and what you believe. This New Moon acts as a charge, sending you in a new direction as you ride on a feeling of renewal due to a new perspective on your life. Sharing your experiences with others, publishing, marketing, or studies can be in stronger focus. It’s an excellent time for a stronger sense of purpose or meaning. Still, some self-reflection is appropriate so that you can get in better touch with your true desires. Today, you may need to get over a motivation hump as Mars heads toward a square with Neptune. Your goals may seem more challenging to reach or unclear under this influence, but it’s temporary. This effect may be the result of overdoing things or pushing yourself too hard, and taking some time to reorient yourself makes a lot of sense, or it may just be a time for a needed checkpoint as you realign your path.Aquarius
With a New Moon occurring in your solar eighth house today, dear Aquarius, intimate relationships or passion projects can benefit from a new start or vision. You may be interested in developing a relationship or project further. Instead, this can be about a new direction, approach, or beginning related to power dynamics, money, or support. A pursuit that requires dedication and concentration can be in focus. Alternatively, something occurring around now can open your eyes to the need to handle debts or manage support and sharing of responsibilities more effectively. Today, a solid plan is incomplete, and you could feel restless without knowing where you’re heading. Take your time and let inspiration come to you! There’s no rush. As well, a Mars-Neptune square comes into play now, indicating the need for spiritual or emotional replenishment. While you might want to push forward with your endeavors, you should make some time for rest or reflection before doing so. Watch for desires and whims that distract you from your goals, though, as these may be a form of procrastination.Pisces
The New Moon today occurs in your solar seventh house, dear Pisces, and it prompts a need to start fresh in a partnership or with a relationship. Your vision for your relationship needs will soon bloom and fill out, and someone can inspire you to pursue a dream. The desire–or need–to cooperate and merge with someone is strong and motivating. Starting fresh in a relationship can involve taking on a new attitude or gathering the courage to make something happen. The week ahead is powerful for your connections, whether these unions are platonic, business, or romantic. This influence challenges you to find the right balance between partnership and independence. For now, it’s best to ease into new initiatives–there’s no need to rush or push things. While there can be some feeling of a letdown that fuels you now, you’re excited to change things up and approach matters in novel ways. Today is also influenced by a Mars-Neptune square, and energy levels may be up and down or unreliable. You might crave guidance, a sign, or a feeling of direction, but finding it can be challenging. Ideally, this state of mind nudges you to get in better touch with your inner guide or intuition. Watch for procrastination in its many distracting forms.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
