Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Your need to create and express yourself uniquely is strong these days, dear Aries, and today’s Moon highlights this energy. You may be discovering new avenues of self-expression through a hobby or creative pastime, or you could be experiencing the excitement of romantic expression. You might find that you’re more fulfilled when you can bring something special to the world. There can be unique hopefulness and creative openness today. While the mood is playful and pleasant today, you’re also in a good position for work and career-related efforts, your reputation, and status. Recognition for your efforts can be forthcoming. Transits today support your work and health goals, particularly mentally and around incoming information, news, ideas, and plans. You might learn something useful for healing and improving wellness.

Taurus

Even casual conversations have a lot to teach you about your relationships and yourself today, dear Taurus. You can be in a good position to gain new insight into your life and the people you care about. You’re attracting others through your confidence, ideas and beliefs, or unique viewpoint/style. Still, your nesting urges are alive and well today, and the helpful and nurturing side of your nature is being called upon now. You may reconcile with a family member, or grow a close relationship now. Feeling good about your home life is a theme, and if you’re feeling discontented, you’re especially motivated to make changes and improvements.

Gemini

Your practical affairs get a boost today, dear Gemini, even through the most casual browsing, researching, and conversing. Connections with people closest to you may improve through a particularly open and honest exchange. Insight into your inner workings, personal psychology, past, and attachments may be in the spotlight. It’s a good time to gain the support of others, or inner confidence, to pursue your goals. Today’s energies are also strong for bringing others together successfully. You want to be heard today, and fortunately, people are attracted to your ideas and your intelligence.

Cancer

Collaboration and problem-solving figure strongly today, dear Cancer. You stand to gain some fascinating insight into people and projects. Consulting or counseling efforts can be particularly fruitful now. Your increased generosity towards others is pronounced now. The day brings emotions to the point of settling, and more calm to your demeanor as the Moon and Jupiter come together in your resources sector. This is a time to enjoy yourself and settle in, as well as connect with the practical affairs of your life.

Leo

Energies for your work and practical matters are particularly empowering for you right now, dear Leo. You can gain an edge or advantage with a real feel for what others want and confidence in what you’re doing. Ideas are golden, especially if you let them develop slowly this week. You are likely to feel quite secure and content at the moment, and this natural confidence is radiated to others, giving you a healing, warm aura. You might solve an emotional dilemma quite quickly today with the Moon aligning with Jupiter in your sign, ensuring an emotionally stimulating time. This transit brings out a desire to express yourself or to do something fun and exciting. This is not a time for dwelling on the past, as you are focused quite determinedly on what can be accomplished now and in the future.

Virgo

There can be good opportunities to talk about or play with ideas related to creative projects or love relationships today, dear Virgo. You may be sharing news or information with others and enjoying the process. Discussions are open and useful. It can also be a fine time to look at a matter from the past in a more positive light, which might involve forgiving a past wrongdoing or giving up an attitude that’s been working against you recently, which is a wonderful gift to yourself. Much strength is coming from within right now, even if it sometimes feels like you’re a little fragile emotionally.

Libra

Good energy is with you for personal or domestic matters today, dear Libra, but you’re also in fine shape on social levels. You’re feeling more inner courage and confidence, and support is easy to find and give. Living conditions may be improving, which boosts your mood. You’re willing to go deep, and others are particularly open. Today is also excellent for nurturing a friendship or a partnership with tolerance and acceptance. Benefits come from reaching out to others. Today’s Moon-Jupiter alignment is a warm one, and it’s loaded with potential, particularly when it comes to birthing new ideas, hopes, and dreams.

Scorpio

The Moon aligns with Jupiter at the top of your solar chart today, dear Scorpio, and there can be a boost to your reputation, public life, or career. You could feel more appreciated for the work you do or for your ability to take the lead, and with the feedback positive, you are motivated to do even better. You tend to be more visible, more well-known, and more likable now. You may be in a position to shine through meeting a responsibility, or simply to enjoy recent successes today. The day’s energies are also strong for communicating, connecting, and networking. You might gain an advantage through information, news, or an important project now, or you might form or enhance a mutually beneficial relationship.

Sagittarius

Constructive and respectful conversations and shared activities can figure strongly today, dear Sagittarius, and they can feel great. Transits boost your analytical powers related to finances, business, and practical goals. It’s a good time for strategic planning and thinking. Also today, your perception of the world opens up and broadens, as the Moon aligns with Jupiter. Your need to expand your horizons on a personal level is strong right now. You might have a pleasant conversation, hear news, or read something that makes you feel hopeful or inspires a new idea or interest.

Capricorn

Good energy is with you for personal appeal and gaining respect, admiration, or support, dear Capricorn. People appreciate your advice, opinion, and mind right now. It’s also a good time to exchange ideas, information, and positive news. You may also feel a strong urge to open up emotionally, and it’s a great time to do so with someone you trust. Sharing can bring benefits. You’re thinking in terms of great possibilities and potentials today with the Moon in alignment with Jupiter. New insights into a partner, a relationship, or even your own behavior can arrive now, and they’re especially valuable.

Aquarius

You can get to the very heart of a problem today, dear Aquarius, and you thrive when formulating strategies. You can gain insight into a past problem now. Your analytical powers increase today, and conversations shift toward serious or informative topics, yet remain fun. You might see your inner needs and desires more clearly. With today’s Moon, you’re projecting especially loving and supportive qualities. You can readily and naturally guide others towards understanding and resolution through your own stories and actions. You can be feeling quite emotionally generous, or you’re attracting generous, supportive, and happy situations into your life.

Pisces

Today’s transits are strong for communicating what you mean, dear Pisces, and for two-way conversations that satisfy and inform. It’s an excellent time to build bridges and to feel back on track overall. You may make connections that are truly useful and beneficial to you. You may also find extra pleasure in your work or routines, or in going out of your way to help and support others. You’re taking pride in your usefulness and perhaps enjoying working on a particular project or your work. You might advance practical, work, or health goals, or it’s a good time for discovering ways to heal or improve health. Business affairs tend to work naturally and instinctively.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on September 8th:

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).
