Horoscopes
Aries
Family activities, home life, and endeavors that remind you of the need for comfort and familiarity are in focus today and much of tomorrow, dear Aries, and after busy days, this can be a welcome change. However, making some contact can be beneficial as well! You may be meeting up with people who make you feel good about yourself or who encourage you to express your more affectionate, romantic, or creative side. You’re likely to enjoy advances in the areas of creativity, romance, or hobbies today and tomorrow. Connections might be made that promote your interests, and especially the more heartfelt ones, whether they’re for work or play. Even with some excitement to the day, a fair-sized part of you needs to settle in, relax, and enjoy the familiarity of people you love or home surroundings.
Taurus
With the Moon in your solar third house until tomorrow night, dear Taurus, you’re likely to be busy although not especially focused! That’s just fine, however, because the purpose of this Moon transit is for you to put your feelers out and collect information rather than hunker down. Emotional satisfaction comes from mental stimulation, reaching out and connecting with others, and learning new things. You seem to need change, movement, and variety today. There is one area that grabs your attention more than most, however, and that is family or home matters, as you can feel inspired as you make plans for the future in these areas. New information or contacts can motivate you to make improvements and positive changes.
Gemini
You’ll find it rather easy to gain the cooperation and support of others today and tomorrow, Gemini, which is a welcome change now. However, you’re also in the position where settling and relaxing is very seductive on an emotional level! The Moon is in your resources sector turning your attention to some of the more practical details of your plans, as well. The day holds much promise when it comes to making connections with others, particularly mental ones. You are communicating in a particularly positive manner, and others are taking note of what you say. People you meet or news you read today can help point you in the direction of positive growth and change related to transportation, learning, and studies. Things that keep you connected, such as phones, computers, or even bicycles and cars, can also figure strongly or enjoy improvements now.
Cancer
The Moon is in your sign until tomorrow night, Cancer, and this brings your emotions out of hiding and into the light. Your craving for a feeling of connectedness with others does leave you a little more emotionally vulnerable than usual, but you’re also braver about going after what you want. You can feel inspired by your dreams, visions, and plans related to travel, spiritual, or educational matters. Plans may come together with finances, work, or other practical matters today, or you meet people and connect with information that furthers your goals along these lines. Advice about money or business can be valuable today.
Leo
The Moon spends time in the sign just behind yours today until tomorrow night, dear Leo, and this transit encourages some extra time for emotional healing and renewal. Taking a timeout from a busy pace or demanding situations can be in order now as the current lunar cycle draws to a close. This way, when you do emerge as the Moon enters Leo, you’re in the right frame of mind, possessing a strong understanding of your needs. Even so, today and tomorrow hold incredible promise for positive experiences and connections with others, so don’t hide away completely. Your personality shines, and others may especially enjoy being around you. You may be guiding or steering others in the right direction through the sharing of helpful information or advice.
Virgo
The need to feel connected to a group, friend, or cause is high today and tomorrow with the Moon in your solar eleventh house, Virgo, but a lot is going on under the hood, so it’s best to divide your time. Supporting others with helpful advice or specialized knowledge can be enjoyed now. You’re looking within, but you’re also staying in touch, and this balanced approach will serve you well. This is a good time for seeing the benefits of putting certain bad habits behind you, as well as for healing and efforts to renew mental health and energy. You’ll benefit from some time to get in touch with your intuition and your true feelings about matters. You might connect with the right people or information — or your inner wisdom — giving you ideas about how to resolve long-standing problems that have been dragging you down.
Libra
You are more emotionally invested in your reputation, status, career, or performance than usual today, dear Libra, and this will continue until tomorrow night. If you’re feeling secure, this transit gives you a gentle push to do your best, but if you’re not, you could be wavering or anxious at times today. Be productive, but avoid setting expectations of yourself that are too high. With Venus and the North Node of the Moon joining in your sector of friends and groups today, a fortunate connection may be made now. Positive energy is with you for networking, communicating and sharing ideas, and learning from others and your experiences. Something or someone could inspire you to move forward on a personal goal, dream, or plan, and you are beginning to see that these things are doable.
Scorpio
Your idealistic side emerges strongly today and tomorrow, Scorpio, and you can feel inspired to dream, plan for the future, and think in broad terms. You are in need of some level of escape from the mundane or ordinary now, as these things could make you feel caged or boxed in. A breath of fresh air is important for your emotional well-being. Even so, you can make a meaningful connection — with a person or information — that aids the pursuit of your more worldly goals. People in high places may be looking on you especially favorably today. Fortunate connections could be made, particularly through business. Work may be more pleasurable now.
Sagittarius
You’re a little more introspective today, Sagittarius, and interested in getting to a place of better understanding about yourself, close relationships, and your current path. Your powers to observe are through the roof now, and you’re likely to gain important insight or intel today and tomorrow. Although in many ways you are living inside yourself today, this is also a good day for connecting with others and the information you need. You can be quite excellent at teaching, guiding, and sharing ideas with people right now. There can be good feelings stimulated by individuals in your life who encourage your new ideas and beliefs or a positive attitude.
Capricorn
Until tomorrow night, the Moon moves through your solar seventh house, Capricorn, and it’s a good time for leaning on someone or putting more energy and heart into your relationships. This can also be a time of the month for some wheeling and dealing, as well. You’re in greater need of peace and harmony now, but don’t allow this to compromise your principles. Today can bring you the right information at the right time as Venus connects with the North Node. This is a good time to make contacts who contribute something valuable to your life. You may be able to draw upon resources you never knew you had. Some of you could be bringing a deeper level of intimacy into your relationships or attracting people who open you up to new ways of relating.
Aquarius
You’re in the frame of mind for taking care of business today, dear Aquarius. Prioritizing practical matters is a rather useful thing from time to time, and handling necessary details now can lead to a stronger sense of emotional satisfaction. Be sure to come up for air from time to time as connections with others can be supportive and meaningful, as well as a rich source of ideas. Collaborating with others or partnering up can be very productive now. With Venus in your relationship sector in alignment with the Moon’s Node, you may attract loving people into your experience or enhance an existing bond. People or information you come into contact with tend to point you in the direction of growth and improvement.
Pisces
Until tomorrow night, the Moon harmonizes with your sign, Pisces, providing easier channels for expressing your feelings. It’s a good day for creating, sharing, and enjoying yourself. You’re a little more playful, which is great energy after some tense or inhibited days. You’re likely to feel more positive, confident, active, and forward-focused. This can be a good day for finding exactly the information you need or bumping into the right person that helps you further your work or health interests. Or, you might get the opportunity to meet someone through the pursuit of your health and work or daily routines.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
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.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
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 14th:
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).
