Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, September 21

 

Aries

The Moon moves into your career and reputation sector this morning, dear Aries, and emotional focus is on performance as well as matters of responsibility and integrity. Mars in your creative sector is challenged by Pluto today, and you are challenged to get in touch with what it is you truly want and desire, as well as with those things that might bring you the most joy. You may not be able to move forward as quickly as you’d like, but if you do so step by step, then you’re more likely to do it successfully. Try to tame a desire to control things today, as it can get you into hot water. Avoid controversy. Look for more creative or fulfilling ways to do your work. Sometimes even small changes can lead to far improved motivation.

Taurus

Recreation is in order today – avoid doing the same old, same old – particularly if you’re feeling caged in or restricted, dear Taurus. Watch for a suspicious or possibly even controlling attitude in relationships now, particularly with family. While jealousies or resentments can be operating close to the surface right now, you can choose whether to accept and understand them, or to let them control you. Memories and daydreams tend to emerge that pull you into reminiscing about past events. The Moon’s move into your adventure sector can raise your spirits and keep you from worrying too much about the smaller problems in your life.

Gemini

There can be many distractions today, dear Gemini, even though you’re finding good motivation to work on certain projects. Be a little more cautious about how you express yourself, as there is a tendency to make controversy out of small misunderstandings and you’re better off outside of this kind of drama. Tomorrow, you’re likely to be feeling freer about how you express yourself. The Moon moves into your intimacy sector this morning, making it a good time for processing and digesting recent events, as well as observing rather than leaping forward.

Cancer

With the Moon moving into your partnership sector this morning, dear Cancer, you can be feeling the need for company more than usual. With Mars and Pluto in challenging aspect today, you could be feeling a little possessive of people and things today if others seem to be moving into your territory or pushing your personal limits. You may not see the direct route to satisfying your needs or asserting yourself. Challenges may be coming from the outside, but what truly matters now is the response. It may be better to keep some things to yourself for now, but manage stress through constructive channels, which may be especially easy to find now.

Leo

The Moon moving into your work and health sector this morning is helpful, dear Leo, as it puts you in a stronger position to find and see problem areas in your life, and today’s energies supply you with the energy to fix them. With Mars in your sign in dynamic aspect to Pluto, the will to get things done is strong, but it’s important not to get lost in unexpressed anger or resentment. It’s also best to try to work at your own pace and/or independently, as you tend to be a little more particular about how you want to get things done. Try not to hold on to frustrations and resentments, but when expressing them, be careful that you do so without bulldozing others! Good energy is with you for wrapping your mind around a complex problem and working on it until it’s solved.

Virgo

There can be some tension today revolving around memories or reminders of a frustrating past matter, likely a relationship, dear Virgo, but this can stimulate you to do something about it, motivating you to make changes that allow you to move forward freer and lighter. Make a point to get involved in activities that further your goals and ambitions. Work can be inspiring and fascinating now. Offer clear explanations of your motivations to important people in your life if you are dedicating more of your energy to personal pursuits and goals, but allow yourself some extra privacy or the right to keep certain things to yourself.

Libra

The Moon moves into your home and family sector this morning, dear Libra. This is a time for reconnecting with yourself and your inner needs, and for feeding the need for a feeling of belonging. This is a good day for planning and strategizing, as well as for examining emotional “slush” that has been accumulating if you’ve been keeping things to yourself. It can be relatively easy to trigger frustrations, but this also allows you to see what needs purging. It may be difficult to get things out into the open in your relationships, but with some determination, you’ll be more able to see problem areas that require fixing. Conflicts with a friend likely have to do with over-identification with beliefs or systems of doing things.

Scorpio

There may be some hardheadedness today, dear Scorpio, with assertive Mars running into your ruler, Pluto. You may be wanting to do it your way now, particularly in terms of work, so that it would be a good idea to work independently if you can choose to do so now. There is a slight tendency to stir up controversy today. Otherwise, you can feel especially motivated and determined to get things done. Energy is such that backing off and detaching yourself a little from your relationships actually helps enhance them – people are in need of some breathing room at the moment.

Sagittarius

Defensiveness can easily be triggered today, dear Sagittarius, with Mars and Pluto in difficult aspect. However, if we observe before acting, there is a better chance of seeing vulnerable areas and learning from them. In fact, this is a great time to find motivation, possibly through frustration, to go after what you truly want and need! Avoid others’ head games if possible today. This morning, the Moon moves into your solar second house, which turns your emotional attention to building and developing, and this can only add to a nice level of productivity today.

Capricorn

With Mars and Pluto in challenging aspect today, dear Capricorn, there can be a strong desire to do things your way or to oversee a project rather than feel at others’ mercy. This can light a fire under you to get things done, and frustrations may in fact motivate you to go after what you want and need. The Moon moves into your sign this morning, bringing emotions to the surface and stimulating your need to feel connected and reinforced by the world around you. You’re certainly more noticeable now, and others tend to follow your lead.

Aquarius

With the Moon moving into your privacy sector this morning, dear Aquarius, you may very well need a little more anonymity or time to yourself.  If you’re having trouble getting in touch with your intuition, removing yourself from ambitious, chaotic, or demanding atmospheres will do the trick, if possible. A Mars-Pluto aspect today may stimulate some tension, particularly on the level of wills in your closest relationships, or involving unresolved matters from the past. The larger purpose of this aspect is to get you into better touch with your true needs and desires, and small frustrations ignited today can motivate you to go after what you want.

Pisces

With Mars and Pluto in challenging aspect today, dear Pisces, frustrations at not feeling in control of your life can stimulate a strong desire to better your situation and seek out a higher level of well-being. You are inclined to read between the lines and play detective today. Motivation to work harder or to improve your health can be strong now. Even so, you’re likely to be craving less pressure in your life, particularly socially, and with the Moon moving into your social sector this morning, you are tuning in to the need to be around true friends who accept you for who you are.
