Horoscopes
Aries
You’ll be seeking out more order in your life today, dear Aries. Disorganization and imbalance are disruptive to your mood right now, and the best way to take care of this is to focus on “righting” things one step at a time. Avoid the state of being overwhelmed, not knowing where to begin, and doing nothing but fret. Instead, aim to keep yourself busy, but don’t expect too much of yourself. You can’t resolve everything in one day! Be reasonable with yourself. This is one of those days when if you’re not feeling too well, emotional unrest can be at the root. However, feeling secure finds you at your best today. This is not the best time for executive decisions, but it’s very useful for tuning into areas of your life that you normally overlook, but that need some extra attention.
Taurus
This is a good day for entertainment, play, and big feelings, dear Taurus, and less powerful for work productivity. That’s quite alright, as you there will be a lot of emphasis on work, health, and the practical side of your world in the weeks ahead. A New Moon will occur in two days and interests or direction can change. It’s bound to help you define new goals. Today, there is a need for games, fun, and creative expression. Your romantic inclinations are stronger than usual, as well. You appreciate an audience right now.
Gemini
There is a homebody attitude today that is distinctive, dear Gemini, and your tendency to stick with familiar people, situations, and things, in fact, fills a current need. This is the time of the lunar month when checking in with your innermost needs makes the most sense, and when family relationships can be in stronger focus. You are seeking more security and comfort, and this can prepare you well for a more outgoing period to come. In two days, a New Moon will occur in your creative and romantic sector. For now, you’d be wise to get in touch with what’s in your heart.
Cancer
There is an increasing focus on home and personal life, dear Cancer, and the need for more down time as well. However, today and tomorrow you are likely to crave some excitement or, at the very least, a busy pace. You are curious and connected. At times, you may feel a little too connected, however, as people may be up and down with their communications. As well, you are sensitive to the news. Your own moods are up and down right now, and your mind can change in an instant. Others may see this as being fickle, which is not your usual state, not by a long stretch. However, it may be that you are not especially in touch with your deeper emotions just for now.
Leo
This is a day for settling in, dear Leo. Although there may be some concerns or ups and downs with money and personal possessions, overall, you’re in a positive frame of mind and don’t like to linger on problem areas unless you have the tools to make changes. You are seeking out emotional security today, and it’s unlikely a day in which you go out on a limb or take major risks. You need this right now, and earthy, grounding activities can benefit you greatly at this time of the lunar month. As well, with only two days before the New Moon, it’s a better time for reflection than new initiatives.
Virgo
It’s not easy to hide what you’re feeling today, dear Virgo, with the Moon in your sign all day. Even if you’re not verbally expressing them, they are written on your face! There can be a moody, fickle side to you expressed now, as emotions tend to trump logic just for now. You’re in an excellent position to discover feelings you may have buried or brushed aside, but keep in mind that they may be larger than life right now. Today and tomorrow are good for reflecting and observing rather than starting brand-new projects.
Libra
This is a day in which you’re a little more sensitive to the emotional atmosphere around you, dear Libra. Today and tomorrow are important for getting in closer touch with your intuition. A New Moon will occur in your sign in two days, and you can start fresh. For now, think about tying up loose ends. You have a greater need for moments of quiet and solitude so that you can regroup. You tend to want to stay in the background or avoid the spotlight just for now. This gives you the chance to center yourself and connect with your innermost feelings and aspirations.
Scorpio
You’re most at home in the world of your social life or networking today, dear Scorpio. You may be looking to friends for nurturance or to cherished dreams and goals for inspiration. This is a better day for cooperative or solo activities than competitive ones. It’s not the best time for chores or responsibilities, which may weigh on your conscience to some degree but you’re not interested in going that route right now. You might also do a lot more thinking and planning than “doing” today, but this is probably best as the Moon cycle is nearing an end and reflective activities are better than new beginnings.
Sagittarius
Your ambitions are stimulated today, dear Sagittarius, although there can be distractions that interfere with accomplishing all that you set out to do. Try not to let this bother you too much. You’re harder on yourself than you typically are, and while this is fine in moderation from time to time in order to motivate you to fill your responsibilities, it’s important to keep this tendency in check. Keep your sense of humor and fun, and you’ll end up being far more productive. Brand new beginnings should wait until after the New Moon on Friday.
Capricorn
You may be longing for some fresh air, more freedom, and open spaces today, dear Capricorn. This is not the time for dull routines, and if you’re stuck in them, it will be important to take extra breaks or find creative ways to enliven your day. Your curiosity and appetite for the exotic are big today. Fresh points of view, people, and experiences are attractive now. There is special interest in sharing ideas and knowledge. Today and tomorrow are better for freestyling than for substantial new beginnings with a New Moon set to occur on Friday.
Aquarius
There is increasing focus on connecting and sharing in your life these days, dear Aquarius, and this theme will be with you for some time longer. However, today and tomorrow you’re in an observant, introspective frame of mind. You are attracted to mysteries and puzzles, as well as the deeper layers of people and life in general. You might relish a little time to yourself, hidden away. Your intuitive faculties are in great form now, so take advantage and learn more about what you need and want. This way, after the New Moon and new cycle beginning in two days, you’ll be in a better position to dream up plans that truly inspire you. There can be some worry or uncertainty over money today, however. Fret only if you are willing to work on a plan to change things; otherwise, you are wasting valuable energy.
Pisces
This is a time of the lunar month when you’re more dependent than usual, dear Pisces, as you tend to seek out company, collaboration, and input or feedback. There are stronger emotions surrounding relationships today. Interaction is vital to emotional satisfaction right now with the Moon in your partnership sector. It can also be revealing as you discover more about yourself through your dealings with others. You are likely to feel a stronger desire for harmony, peace, and balance than usual, although getting to these places can involve some disruption!

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
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 28th:
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).
