Horoscopes
Aries
Slow-moving Pluto retrogrades for several months every year, dear Aries, and today, it turns direct. Career, financial, and intimacy matters begin to move forward or “unblock” over the next weeks and months. Even so, this can be an intense time for happenings in your career and your personal life. Extremes of feeling are likely as the shift occurs. Going forward, good energy is with you for making necessary changes in relationships with a parent or boss. If there is a negative attitude or bad habit that you need to kick, this is the time to do so. Today’s Leo Moon can help lighten the mood, however, as it stimulates your more playful, romantic side. Mars spends its final day in your adventure sector and will move to the top of your solar chart tomorrow, boosting your ambition.
Taurus
Slow-moving Pluto retrogrades for several months every year, dear Taurus, and today, it turns direct and ends its retrograde period. Problems with a partner or close friend that have been brewing under the surface of things or put on a shelf are likely to make themselves known. You can no longer fall back on quick fixes for problems. While the shift occurs today, people may be more emotionally reactive and possibly quick on the trigger. However, going forward, you’ll be clearer on how a relationship stands, and travel, educational, legal, and promotional matters might also straighten out. Faith in a system or conviction for a particular belief could return, and your desire to explore the world increases with Pluto’s change in direction. Today’s Leo Moon keeps you clinging to the familiar just for now, however. You’ll prefer the company of familiar people or time alone to do your own thing.
Gemini
Slow-moving Pluto retrogrades for several months every year, dear Gemini, and today, it ends its retrograde period by turning direct. The unrest that you’ve been feeling in past months is coming to the point of resolution. This week, you finally begin to feel more confident about recent changes, particularly in your work, daily habits, health, and finances. You are less concerned about having made the right choices in the past. Instead, you are focusing on your current path and the future. This is a strong time for identifying unnecessary elements in your routine or attitudes, making it easier to streamline. You may be actively doing research, and you can apply yourself with focus and dedication now. Results may be realized this week. The Moon in your communications sector keeps things lively, and your disposition is especially curious.
Cancer
Now and in the coming weeks, more clarity comes to your love relationships and partnerships, dear Cancer, with Pluto turning direct after several months of retrograde motion (since April). This shift occurs every year and points to some unblocking of feelings or forward movement in a relationship. You begin to pursue your hobbies, pleasurable pastimes, and romance with more energy and enthusiasm. This week is one of discovery. Meeting someone who stimulates you to think in new ways is possible, or you notice forward movement and more clarity in a relationship. Particular attention to your practical affairs is in order today, and you’re in a good position to make improvements, although you may need to work out some tension before being able to focus on details.
Leo
This week brings truly exciting insights into how you can better manage your domestic life and work, dear Leo. This is due to Pluto’s direct move – a yearly occurrence that stimulates a need to make changes. Motivation to pursue a new or previously shelved health program can return. You are feeling on the ball and ready to rise to any challenge. Details that you’ve previously overlooked need some attention now. Nevertheless, today and tomorrow with the shift occurring, thinking can be in extremes. Take your time coming to definite conclusions. The Moon is in your sign all day, and things seem to be playing in your favor, although emotions are heightened.
Virgo
Slow-moving Pluto turns direct today after its yearly, several-month retrograde period, dear Virgo. Enthusiasm increases for intellectual interests, hobbies, learning, and creative projects this week. You’ve likely gained new insights into your romantic life or your deeper feelings in recent months but haven’t yet truly applied them. Going forward, you’re ready to make necessary changes, particularly in attitude. Today during the shift, emotions can be exaggerated or seem overwhelming, but this will subside as you adjust to the changes. Save critical decision making for another day to be safe. The Moon is in your soul sector all day, encouraging some form of emotional retreat so that you can heal, rest, reflect, and renew.
Libra
For many months every year, slow-moving Pluto is retrograde. Today, Pluto turns direct, dear Libra. A sense of moving forward emerges, although there might be a little chaos today before things truly begin to take off for you in the areas of finances and domestic matters. Relationships with family and family roles are changing, and your determination to resolve challenges is building. It’s not the time to stubbornly hold on to things as they were. Rather, it’s time to acknowledge the need to make changes and your resolve increases. Financial and business projects can move forward. The Moon in your social sector all day encourages you to reach out and connect. Happiness goals come into stronger focus today.
Scorpio
For many months every year, slow-moving Pluto, your ruler, is retrograde. Today, Pluto turns direct after its retrograde period that lasted since April, dear Scorpio. This is good news for you, as your life becomes a little clearer, even if today can be a little chaotic. Personal goals come into focus now. Take care not to jump into action without thinking of the consequences. Take the leap on the inside first and see how it feels before taking action. More clarity is likely to come to your communications, and issues that have been buried or swept under the carpet might emerge now for your attention. You are likely to feel very well-equipped to handle them. The Moon at the top of your solar chart all day keeps you on your toes and particularly aware of your responsibilities and performance.
Sagittarius
Fears about not having enough money or resources may have been subtly driving your behavior in recent months while Pluto was retrograde in your solar second house, dear Sagittarius. Now that Pluto is direct, slowly but surely, you will be moving forward. You have a greater feeling that you are in charge, even if at times you worry too much. It’s a good period for proving what you are worth in the work you do. You are now recognizing that you have been freeing yourself from past conditioning, automatic behaviors that have not served you well, and relationships that were unhealthy. You are looking forward now and feeling confident about the future. Today, worries can intensify before you make more sense of the shifting energies. It’s better to put off big decisions. Today’s Moon in Leo, however, helps stir your adventurous side and lightens up the mood a little.
Capricorn
Pluto in your sign can be intense at times, and with Pluto turning direct today, dear Capricorn, you’re less likely to brood over problems and more likely to take charge of your life and your impulses, and to make necessary changes. There can be opportunities to make long-lasting friendships or to make changes to your friendships and group associations that benefit you for some time to come. Income from business might increase, or money can come in after a long wait. Today, you are in a contemplative mood. Tomorrow, Mars moves into your sign after an extended stay in your soul sector. This shift will have the effect of reenergizing you. The weeks ahead are keen for action, energy, and self-assertion, but you could be a little short on patience.
Aquarius
Energy is rather intense today, dear Aquarius, and the tendency to dwell on recent hurts or slights is strong. However, in the coming weeks, you’re less likely to brood and more willing (and equipped) to make changes towards improvement with Pluto turning direct – a yearly event. Projects that you have been working on behind the scenes or that you’ve left unfinished might be revived. Repairing relationships with a parent or boss can figure strongly now. You may need to employ some caution with regards to elements from your past, but overall, there is a sense of moving forward and doing so in a positive, growth-oriented way. The Moon is in your opposing sign all day, turning your attention to relationships today. You prefer company right now.
Pisces
Slow-moving Pluto retrogrades for several months every year and then turns direct, dear Pisces, as it does today. It’s necessary now to tune into your inner rhythms so that you act rather than react. Today and this week, you’re better able to rely on your intellect and belief systems. Uncertainties clear up. Friendships may be intense but instead of brooding over problem areas, you’re motivated to make necessary changes that bring you closer to the resolution of long-standing problems. Small changes made now can impact the future in significant ways. New ideas and approaches to your social life can emerge and empower you. Educational, travel, or publishing matters might move forward or otherwise unblock. Today’s Moon keeps you focused on work and routines.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 26th:
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).
