Horoscopes
Aries

This is a potentially strong time for talking through problems, dear Aries. Two heads are better than one today, particularly when it comes to research, work, or health matters. You might also team up to handle a financial problem. Mars has spent a lot of time in your adventure sector and now moves to the top of your solar chart. Until November 9th, Mars transits your solar tenth house, igniting ambitions and putting you into the position to take charge and take the lead. You’ll want to do things your way, which can stir up opposition at times. You are self-motivated and prefer to be your own boss right now.
Taurus

This is a promising day for communications, particularly with partners or about relationships. You’ll find that people are open to reason and willing to see the other side of the situation. Mars has spent an unusually long time in your intimacy sector and finally moves into a new sign and area of your solar chart today. Until November 9th, Mars plays a more supportive role to your sign, helping to motivate and energize you. This is a good cycle for moving about more freely and independently with less in the way of resistance or opposition from others. With the right attitude, some obstacles drop away as well, or you are readier than you have been to take on a challenge. This can also be a time of greater interest in, or passion for, your ideas, beliefs, and projects.
Gemini

Your communication skills are known, dear Gemini, and today, your ability to listen and make anyone feel interesting and at ease is even stronger than usual. It’s a fine time for solving problems, bonding through supportive conversations, and coming to a better understanding of a work or home project. You might find out some truly useful information today. Mars enters your solar eighth house today after a lengthy stay in your partnership sector. This transit, lasting until November 9th, introduces some introspective moments in your life. It’s a good time for working behind the scenes, doing research, developing plans, and considering strategies. It’s important, however, that you don’t push yourself too hard. Know your limits!
Cancer

Mars moves into your partnership zone today, dear Cancer, where it will stay until November 9th. Mars has spent a longer than usual time in your sector of work and health, and you’ve been focusing on the details of your life, sometimes to excess! In this new cycle, you’re more active socially or in a partnership. This can be a lively time for a partnership or collaboration, but can also be a competitive period when you’re drawn to others but often get in one another’s way. Problems that haven’t been addressed directly in your relationships may now surface for your attention. Today, you’re in a good position to solve problems related to work and career, as well as for coming up with creative ideas. Communications can be playful, romantic, and useful as well.
Leo

This is a good time for talking through problems, or working with others to solve problems, dear Leo. You might gain knowledge that helps your financial picture today. Ideas for combining business and travel or money-making through publishing can come to you now. Mars moves into your solar sixth house today after a lengthy stay in your romantic and creative fifth house. This signals stronger attention to daily routines, organization, health, and work. Until November 9th, you’re especially motivated to take care of your daily affairs and get your house in order. Work can be demanding, particularly if you are not in the position to take the lead or work independently. If you can set your own pace, it should be far easier to progress and thrive. You are likely to establish clear goals for yourself, and you’re ready to accept challenges during this cycle.
Virgo

Mars moves into your sector of play, entertainment, romance, and creativity today, dear Virgo. This cycle that lasts until November 9th brings a competitive spirit to your creative projects, relationships, and leisure time. You are more enthusiastic and confident about your goals. You may be putting a more creative spin on your work and projects, but you could find dull work that much harder to do. You are ready to take some personal risks in your social life but could be a little impatient with others who may not be moving at the same speed as you. Today is very strong for communications. You could come across information that benefits you greatly. Ideas are inventive. One-on-one conversations seem to be the most productive now.
Libra

Mars moves into your solar fourth house today, dear Libra, after a lengthy stay in your communications sector. This launches a cycle, lasting until November 9th, that enlivens your personal or home life. This can be a self-protective time, but also a period in which you may be defending or especially active caring for loved ones. Home renovations are in focus for some, and family activities or increased activity in and around the home for others. This is not the ideal position for Mars, as you may feel blocked or limited when it comes to going after your desires or asserting yourself directly at times during this cycle. However, it can be a good time for taking charge of your domestic world. Today, new information can put you ahead along business or economic lines. You may have an ace up your sleeve or excellent instincts when it comes to money and value.
Scorpio

Mars moves out of your resources sector today, dear Scorpio, after an extended stay there, and into your communications sector. This launches an especially busy, engaged cycle that keeps you on your toes. You could find increased motivation to pursue personal interests, projects, and studies, although you could also be a little more impatient in your speech and movements. You are inclined to call it as you see it, speak your mind, and get to the point, and you can quickly become frustrated if others are not matching your speed or straightforward approach. While there can be some competitiveness now, it’s a great time for connecting with others and enjoyment of learning. Lively exchanges are likely. Even so, today is good for cooperative efforts, especially where it concerns communications.
Sagittarius

Mars has spent more than its usual time in your sign in recent months, dear Sagittarius, but moves on today. This relieves tension to push yourself, although it does redirect some of your energies to pursuing emotional security and building projects and finances. Until November 9th, you’re especially motivated to receive what you feel you’re worth. You may be seeking more control over your possessions now. You could also focus on developing your skills and talents. Competitive feelings may be behind some of this drive to better your position. Today, however, cooperation brings the most rewards. You may be privy to information that others don’t know about, and this gives you an ace up your sleeve.
Capricorn

Mars has spent a longer than usual time hovering behind your sign in recent months, dear Capricorn, and in many ways, you may have been feeling as if you’re in limbo. Ideally, however, you’ve had more time to reflect upon goals, relationships, and projects, and you’re now ready to start anew. Mars enters your sign today and will stay in Capricorn until November 9th. During this cycle, you have added energy – perhaps too much at times. You are enthusiastic and tend to approach life head-on. This stimulates your desire to come in first, to get ahead, to begin new projects, and to strike out on your own. You can be particularly headstrong, however. Today is good for exchanging ideas and information. Problem-solving is highly favored.
Aquarius

Mars moves into your soul sector today, dear Aquarius, where it will transit until November 9th. This is a more private, reflective time for you. It’s a great period for reassessing the viability of recent projects and endeavors, and for coming up with plans about future initiatives as well. For now, you’re looking behind you in order to eventually discover where you’re headed. There can be a lot of activity behind the scenes or in your private life now, as well as some hesitancy about taking direct or straightforward action in other areas of life. You are relationship-focused today. It’s a good time for healthy conversations, particularly about goals and strategies.
Pisces

Mars enters your solar eleventh house today, dear Pisces, after an extended stay in your ambition zone. This move takes some of the pressure off of performance and achievement, although Saturn remains in this sector to keep you on the straight and narrow. Until November 9th, you seek out activities with friends or the community, make dreams happen, and take care of the social side of your life. This can be a good time for innovative thinking. Today, you look for ways to keep yourself busy. Even so, it’s a fine time for conversations. In fact, you might repair a relationship by talking things through, or you may work with someone to solve a problem.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 27th:
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).
