Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Strong energy is with you for getting a solid sense of what you want from your life, particularly when it comes to family, as well as a stronger feeling of psychological well-being, dear Aries. However, if you are looking for objectivity in yourself and others, this may not be the best time for it! Family matters are sharply in focus. You are likely to feel very hopeful about the future, and happy in the present all at once, which is a rare and wonderful feeling. Spirits run high for home-related activities, or you may want to resolve a personal problem today. It’s a good idea to channel all of the extra energy you’re feeling into something constructive.

Taurus

New interests tend to lead you to new opportunities today, dear Taurus. However, be especially careful that you don’t take on so many new interests or hobbies that you only skim the surface of these things. Diversifying is good, but long-term benefits will only come if you put sincere effort into learning one or a few new skills or interests. Conversations can be especially enthusiastic and passionate right now, and while exciting, they may not carry much weight, so it’s better not to expect too much. There will be plenty of time in the coming days for dealing with the nitty-gritty. You can readily become fired up about your ideas or excited about your plans and projects right now.

Gemini

While cooperation and camaraderie are generally strong right now, dear Gemini, there can be some minor confusion or doubt hanging in the air early today. Aim to put aside matters that require too much detail, and focus instead on big ideas, with the intention to fill in the details when you are in a better frame of mind to do so. Today’s energies can mobilize a brewing matter related to money, respect, or comfort. You’re feeling strongly about what you have in your life and are ready to defend it passionately! You may feel motivated to act on your feelings or make moves to improve your life, especially if you’re craving more security, comfort, and stability.

Cancer

The pace today can be quick, dear Cancer, and you might not always feel that you’re in step with those around you. However, you are self-motivated, and you can accomplish a lot with a bit of patience. Early today, doubts about whether you are performing at your best might get in between you and others, but only if you allow them to take over. You’re paying more attention to your emotional needs, which can work in your favor in many ways and work against you in other ways. You can feel energized by your personal plans, however, whether opportunities open for you or your motivation and enthusiasm for pursuing your goals increase.

Leo

A connection may deepen through the sharing of something personal, private, or previously hidden now, dear Leo. Instead, connecting with your inner world or intuition, whether you share it or not, can be exciting. Even so, it’s not the day for definite answers, but rather for musing, exchanging information, and enjoying the flow rather than the actual outcome. The important thing is that you’re feeling motivated and that you’re forward-looking. Your common sense and intuition are cooperating well today. Watch for impulses that might work against you, considering that a lot is going on inside you now, and you may need more time to process your feelings before acting on them.

Virgo

Your social life can be quite animated today, dear Virgo. Although highly entertaining, you might want to avoid jumping to conclusions or stirring the pot about something that you don’t yet know enough about. Fortunately, you can feel good about boosting someone else up, playing a supportive, listening role. Be a little careful about what you hear now, as it is unlikely to be very objective. Otherwise, aim to tap into the excitement and enthusiasm of the day. You might find yourself enjoying the process of bouncing ideas around and feeling confident about yourself and the future. Your unique vision and creative sense can be brought to the table and can be much appreciated.

Libra

You can be feeling especially passionate about a plan today, dear Libra. Aim to enjoy the moment, but be careful that you also listen to others’ input, as you can be feeling so strongly about your own opinion that you eclipse others’ input in the process. Wonderfully easy energy is with you for expressing your more charming and creative side. You have the confidence that you can turn a bad situation right around if you put your mind to it. As well, strong energy is with you for truly getting things done. You are a tad more assertive and direct, and it’s a good time to connect with what you want without distractions.

Scorpio

You can be filled with good creative ideas today, dear Scorpio, and if some go by the wayside, that’s fine, as you’re more likely to follow through on the ones you settle on. The enthusiasm stirring now can take you far. While there’s a tendency today to focus on everything but the most important thing on your agenda, if you tackle the hard stuff first, the rest will be easier. Today’s energies can mean taking things very personally, as you can be quite passionate about a plan or line of thought, and discussions can become animated. Rushing through things can also be an issue, as you could be missing something important in the process. While objectivity is not likely today, it’s a fine time to tap into enthusiasm and excitement. You can fill in the details later!

Sagittarius

If you have a chance and the desire to hide yourself away in some manner to get back in touch with your “insides”, dear Sagittarius, today’s energies support this process. It’s a great time to observe, but acting on your feelings in some manner can be satisfying as the Moon and Mars meet in your solar eighth house. You might put in the effort to channel this energy constructively by giving extra attention to a pet project, interest, or research. Instead, you could be itching to make things happen with finances or dependencies. As the day progresses, you may discover clever methods or ideas for moving toward your practical goals, whether it’s work, health, or everyday routines.

Capricorn

Others are likely to enjoy your insight into things today, dear Capricorn, and ideas that were only on the drawing board tend to come together now. A more receptive environment may be in place for your ideas, helping you not only get in touch but also stay in touch with your personal muse. While you often prefer to go it alone, in part because you prefer to set your own pace, today’s energies favor working in partnership. Watch for some nervous tension early today, especially around the home. It’s the “little things” that are likely to get to you, but try not to blow them out of proportion. Take a deep breath and use your sensitivity to flaws and problems wisely by solving some problems. Start little! One-on-one relationships or your feelings for someone can be animated, and you might seek inspiration or look to feel more vital through your experiences with others.

Aquarius

Ideas can be tossed around at a fast and furious pace today, dear Aquarius, and if you simply allow yourself to enjoy them instead of expecting any kind of permanence from them, then you’ll be a lot better off. More emotion and attention is brought to your daily life, work, or health today, and you can feel a little impatient about getting as much done as possible. A little patience will go a long way, as you may be able to harness your strong feelings and apply them productively. You are super motivated to get things done, and you can whiz through your day so quickly that you end up wishing there were more hours in a day. It can be a relief to let go of previously buried feelings.

Pisces

Bright and new ways to streamline your life can come to you today, dear Pisces, and these can give you more time in the long run. However, you can feel up and down early today – one minute confident, the next minute unsure. Slow your approach just enough to actually see where you might be making errors. Listen carefully to what your intuition is saying to you, but wait for clarity after you sleep on it tonight. You might bring about a pleasant surprise and delight in making someone happy. People enjoy you more than usual, and you find it easier to connect and learn from one another. Someone might motivate or inspire you to express yourself more courageously or creatively. Your emotions and desire nature are feeding off one another, and you have extra initiative for leisure activities, hobbies, or relationships.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 6th:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).
