Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Mercury in awkward aspect to Mars today does suggest some scattering of mental energies, dear Aries, and it may be especially challenging to make clear-cut decisions or to center yourself at times. However, there are fantastic opportunities to be discovered now, and a supportive emotional environment boosts your mood. You’re finding ways to combine responsibility and independence creatively. Tonight, Mercury enters your solar sixth house where it will influence until the 21st, placing further emphasis on daily routines, work, health, and self-care or self-improvement programs. You can be successful at organizing your work and workspace as well as seeking out information that helps you improve your health. Favored now are activities that get your life and your mind tidy and organized.

Taurus

A Mercury-Mars quincunx active today can generate some impatience or carelessness, dear Taurus, as someone may challenge your ideas. It’s better not to take it too personally. Alternatively, the contrast is sharp between your need for familiarity and the allure of the new and unexplored. It can be challenging to decide on any one thing without feeling like you’re missing out somewhere else. Even so, this week brings solid energy, as Pluto and Chiron connect, for finding ways to satisfy both your need for new experiences and your desire to lay low and regenerate. This might mean a restful journey or new activity that refreshes you. Tonight, Mercury enters your solar fifth house and, going forward, there’s a distinct mental or verbal element to your creative and romantic worlds. In strong focus now are activities through which you can have fun, impress, create, and share. Others tend to respond well to your ideas during this cycle that lasts until the 21st.

Gemini

A small hurdle may need clearing in the first half of the day, dear Gemini, as Mercury and Mars meet in an awkward angle shortly before they leave their respective signs. Anxieties may be the root of impatience with others under this influence as you may not be clear about what it is you want to communicate. You can also give off some mixed signals since part of you is feeling quite lighthearted, and another part is deeply invested. Others’ responses may seem a little superficial or insensitive as a result. Mind you, the day also holds wonderful opportunities. This can be a time when you arrive at a comfortable place of intimacy with a friend, or when you see a relationship in a new light. Tonight, Mercury enters your home sector for a stay lasting until the 21st. During this period, you may be thinking about and discussing family, domestic life, your support system, your roots, and the past more often than usual. Activity increases in your home, and this can include work or learning and study.

Cancer

Mercury has spent a longer-than-usual time in your solar second house recently, dear Cancer, giving you an especially practical mindset. It may have often kept you quieter than usual. On its last leg of this transit today, it clashes with Mars, which is also gearing up to change signs (although not as quickly as zippy Mercury). Mars transiting your ninth house encourages a more spontaneous, devil-may-care approach to the world, and would rather you not pay attention to the rules so closely! As these planets conflict today, you could feel divided. There may be a rush job or an unexpected change in plans that serve to mix things up a little but can leave you feeling edgy. You could end up all wound up with no real plan unless you resolve to pick a project and enjoy it without worrying about what you may be missing as you do. Also today, you may be gaining someone’s support or backing for a work or life-path goal, and this feels good. Tonight, Mercury heads into your communications sector and will influence there until the 21st. This brings out your desire to talk, share, learn, and connect. Keeping and getting in touch with others can benefit you. There is more mental activity in your life going forward.

Leo

Mercury has spent more time than usual in your sign recently, dear Leo, and will move on tonight. Before it does, it clashes with Mars, and this combination can lead to quick and perhaps poor choices, so watch for this. You may experience challenges harmonizing your desires and communications, and you may be a little restless as part of you is craving emotional excitement, but you’re unsure how to go about getting it! Also today, a stimulating aspect between Pluto and Chiron can lead to the discovery of clever and novel ways of combining work and adventure, learning, or travel. More developments on this front are yet to come. Tonight, Mercury enters your second house for a stay that lasts until the 21st. During this cycle, you put far more thought than usual into business and finances.

Virgo

Your ruling planet, Mercury, enters your sign tonight, dear Virgo, after a drawn-out stay in your solar twelfth house. Before it does, it forms an awkward aspect to Mars, and this can make things feel as if you need to rush a decision. However, it may not be the best time to do so. You may not easily settle on what to do, and whether you have the time and energy to do it! There can be some minor challenges in partnerships. It’s best to seek clarity before committing to something now. Also today, you a Pluto-Chiron influence that will stick around for some time is exact, and this suggests finding ways to combine fun and intimacy creatively. Tonight, Mercury enters your sign where it will stay until the 21st. This transit encourages you to share more by talking, writing, and connecting with others. This is nevertheless a rather independent time, as you tend to be a self-starter and you often make executive decisions during this cycle. You might benefit from doing some self-teaching during this period. As you go forward, decisions come far more efficiently than they have in recent weeks.

Libra

Mercury is changing signs tonight, dear Libra, after a lengthy stay in your sector of hopes and wishes. Before it does, it forms a clashing aspect with Mars, pointing to the possibility of rushed decisions or communications today. This may even be about not readily communicating or interpreting the right intentions behind others’ words. You may feel impatient with a situation and want to put it behind you. Even so, partnership and family matters combine in pleasing, creative ways now, which feels reinforcing. The second half of the day plays more in your favor. Tonight, Mercury begins its transit of your privacy sector where it will influence until the 21st. Decision-making can be more solitary as you’re inclined to do more ruminating than usual. You are more prone to keep secrets or spend more time in your own little world.

Scorpio

You may have been doing a lot of thinking about your performance, responsibilities, long-term plants, and business in the past while with Mercury in your solar tenth house for an extended stay, dear Scorpio. Today, Mercury moves on, but before it does, it clashes with Mars, and there can be some competitiveness, edge, or impatience in communications. As well, timing can be a little off, and you may be torn between strong needs for both work and play. Also today, however, Pluto and Chiron form a smart connection, and while this influence will stick with you much longer than just today, it’s strong now. It’s brilliant for finding the perfect project or pursuit, and even your calling for some of you. A personal interest might transform into a vocation or work can be more pleasurable, which brings out your desire to do your best. Creative writing or expression can be healing and refreshing. With Mercury entering your solar eleventh house tonight, group activities and friendships can pick up pace or involve you more frequently until the 21st.

Sagittarius

Mercury has spent a more extended period than usual in your adventure sector, dear Sagittarius, and moves to the top of your solar chart tonight. Before so doing, Mercury forms a challenging aspect to Mars, and this can generate some annoying indecision or restlessness. What you think you should do can clash with what you want to do, and your interests feel too divided for comfort. Aim not to stay in a state of limbo, but don’t rush decisions, either, as much pressure there seems to be to do so. Tonight, Mercury begins its transit of your tenth house of career and reputation, turning your thoughts more frequently to your responsibilities, plans, work, and reputation. You’re more accountable for what you communicate, and you may take the lead in a particular field or with a unique project. There could be new goals or lifestyle changes entertained during this cycle that lasts until the 21st.

Capricorn

Mercury is set to move out of your solar eighth house and into the ninth, dear Capricorn, and this puts Mercury in a harmonious position related to your sign until the 21st. Before it does today, Mercury challenges Mars, and there can be some frustration with a choice or decision. You’ve been seeking out more depth in your projects and with your thoughts and conversations, but Mars in your sign much prefers to jump into action and think later! This discrepancy can weigh on you today. However, life seems to untangle as the day advances. You may have the chance to seriously enhance a family relationship or home life and living conditions now and going forward, so take full advantage. You’re seeking a style of living that genuinely represents you, and you’re likely to find it! Mercury’s new transit starting tonight eases self-expression and smooths out communications for the coming two weeks. It’s nice to be understood!

Aquarius

Mercury has spent more than the usual time in your opposing sign, dear Aquarius, and will move on tonight. However, before doing so, it forms a clash with Mars, complicating communications, thoughts, and decision-making. Conversations that should be simple can quickly become complicated and frustrating today. The desire to bounce ideas off others may clash with your desire to go your own way or keep to yourself now. A subtle urge to shake things up, or a desire for emotional stimulation can be present. Tonight, Mercury heads into your intimacy sector where it will influence until the 21st. This transit brings even further interest in, and attention to, the hidden elements of your life. You are picking up a lot more from your environment than usual, and seeing motives, subtleties, and power dynamics acutely. You might have less patience for conversation, information, or learning that is superficial.

Pisces

Mercury’s extended stay in your work and health sector comes to an end tonight, dear Pisces. Before moving on, though, Mercury clashes with Mars, and mental energy can be tricky to channel constructively. The desire to go your own way and do your own thing conflicts with your current need to analyze all the details of a plan. Spontaneity is lacking with this kind of approach, but you do have a point! Inner conflict is possible now, but this can also lead to tensions with others or miscommunication. Also today, though, you’re finding unique ways to combine traditional and progressive methods in your personal ventures. Money-making ideas can be golden now. Tonight, Mercury enters your partnership sector where it will stay until the 21st. This transit brings a stronger tendency to seek out others for ideas and decisions, as well as to attract talkative people into your life.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

CANCER STRONG

Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.

VIRGO STRONG

Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.

CAPRICORN STRONG

Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.

Today’s Elemental Balance

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

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. 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.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL STRONG

The Cardinal signs are: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.

Today’s 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 5th:

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 the Moon 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).
