Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, September 25th

Aries

Your ruler, Mars, is now transiting your work and health sector, dear Aries, and will continue to animate this area of your solar chart until November 12th. It’s a good time to take on challenging projects that you may have been putting off. Positively, you have more initiative and energy for work projects, and can apply yourself with more vigor. You might also step up or begin a health and fitness program during this cycle. Today, some irritability is likely as plans seem to be thwarted. Your productivity can be undermined by issues that cause you anxiety or guilt, but avoid letting these take over to the point that your interactions with others are tense. A game plan can help you to channel your energy more effectively.

Taurus

Energetic Mars is now moving through your solar fifth house, dear Taurus, and will continue to do so until November 12th. This sector of your chart rules romance, pleasure, self-expression, and entertainment, and these areas of your life are invigorated now. You are more willing to take personal risks, with your heart and your creative impulses, but also possibly with money (watch this last one!). You are more outgoing and generally seize opportunities as they arise during this cycle. Romance can become heated, and this can be stimulating or challenging, depending on how you handle the energy. Today, however, with Mars challenged by Saturn, there can be some frustration if you are trying to push something that needs more time to play out. There may be some stiffness in your interactions or off timing. Remember your watchword: patience. Waiting things out and smoothing out your energy levels makes the most sense now.

Gemini

Energetic Mars has begun its transit your solar fourth house, dear Gemini, and will continue to animate this area of your chart until November 12th. This sector rules home, heart, and family. What you do with the extra energy available to you now will partially determine whether this is simply a period in which you work more heartily on home projects and are more actively involved with family, or if challenges and conflicts ensue on the home front. Watch for a defensive attitude, as this can needlessly provoke conflict. This can be a good time for entertaining in the home, although at times you could find that your home life is a little too busy. Even so, this can be a wonderful period for getting a lot done in your personal life. Today, a relationship may hit a roadblock or an impasse, but it’s temporary. Avoid taking out frustrations on the innocent! Consider ways to better manage both family or your personal life and partnerships.

Cancer

Go-getting, energetic Mars is now moving through your solar third house, dear Cancer, and will continue to do so until November 12th. This brings increased energy, motivation, courage, and initiative to your daily life, communications, and mental pursuits. You may feel especially motivated to make contact, write, speak, and learn during this cycle. Arguments over ideas and opinions could be more frequent now, however, and you should certainly watch for impatience while driving, walking, and getting around. Be careful that you don’t use words as a weapon during this period, although if you need to express your anger in constructive ways, writing about your frustrations in a journal can be especially helpful now. This can be an active and busy time for learning, studies, errand running, and neighborhood involvement. Today, however, Mars forms a square to Saturn, pointing to possible blocks in getting your message across or getting from point A to point B. This can be a reminder to slow down in order to find better ways of getting your work done.

Leo

Energetic and assertive Mars has left your sign and entered Virgo, dear Leo, where it will continue to transit until November 12th. During this cycle, you can experience a stronger desire for financial independence or you can be especially motivated to pursue a larger income and/or take action on money-making ideas. However, it can also bring impulsive energy to your spending habits, as the desire to accumulate objects can be heightened now. You might also be a little more possessive of people in your life during this cycle. Focus now on building rather than exhausting your resources. Feel the increased courage to earn what you need and deserve. This is generally a good time for finding new ways to boost your feelings of security and comfort. Today, however, Mars forms a square to Saturn, pointing to a temporary block, possibly a creative one. Disagreements about money or sharing tasks can sometimes mask deeper problems.

Virgo

Mars has now entered your sign, dear Virgo, where it will transit until November 12th. Over the course of this energetic cycle, you’ll have plenty of chances to assert yourself and seek out what you want from life. Mars is now supplying you with increased personal energy, initiative, courage, motivation, and drive. Angry feelings might also be stimulated during this cycle, and you might want to watch for overly hasty, impulsive, or impatient behavior. Otherwise, you can use this period to heartily pursue personal goals. This can also be a time when support, emotional or material, can more readily come to you, even though you are more independent than you are usually. Today, however, Mars forms a square with Saturn, and while you could be all fired up about pursuing something, others or circumstances are likely standing in your way or they seem to be unsympathetic. Routine domestic tasks can seem harder to take today.

Libra

Assertive, energetic Mars is now retreating into your privacy sector, dear Libra, and will continue to transit this part of your solar chart until November 12th. This points to a period of reassessing your goals, needs, and desires. It’s not the most decisive or energetic of periods in your life. Instead, you tend to find more comfort in private moments, and require a little more rest than usual. If you don’t recognize this need, you could encounter circumstances that force you to rest more often! For some of you, this can be a quiet or more private time for relationships. It’s an important time for discovering what you truly desire, and which pursuits may not be as worthwhile for you. Today, however, with Mars in a square aspect to Saturn, uncertainty about whether you should or shouldn’t take action on a matter can cause some mental distress, and it’s probably better to wait for a more confident time to move ahead, particularly since others may be unsympathetic or distant temporarily. It can be difficult to find the chance to express yourself just for now.

Scorpio

Energetic and assertive Mars is now moving through your solar eleventh house, dear Scorpio, and will continue its lively transit until November 12th. This points to a sociable period in which you could find yourself in high demand, particularly with friends. For some, however, this can be a time of preferring to take the lead in group settings. More invites could come your way now, and you could be actively collaborating with others in group or team efforts during this period. The tendency to take the lead comes naturally to you now, but leaving your ego at the door will help ensure that relationships with friends and associates run more smoothly. Today, however, Mars in this sector of your chart is challenged by Saturn. Concerns about money, resources, talents, or earnings could surface. Consider ways to strengthen these areas of life. Restructuring, organizing, and budgeting may be in order now.

Sagittarius

Fiery, energetic Mars is now enlivening your sector of career and reputation, dear Sagittarius, and will continue to do so until November 12th. This is a period in which you may be pumping yourself up professionally, taking the lead and initiative more often, and pursuing your ambitions directly and with vigor, but also with special attention to detail. Sometimes it points to strife on the job or with authority figures, or to challenges with your reputation, but toning down your manner can do wonders to prevent these things from happening. Today, you may feel that you’re left to your own resources. It’s not the best time to take a stand, so try to concentrate on what you’re doing, what makes you happy, and what works for you rather than concerning yourself with what others are or aren’t doing.

Capricorn

Mars, the planet of action and energy, is now energizing your solar ninth house, dear Capricorn, and will continue to do so until November 12th. This is a good, harmonious position for Mars in relation to your own sign. You’ll find it natural to assert yourself and to pursue your desires without too many obstacles standing in your way. You’ll also be braver and more courageous than usual, so that you are especially willing to seek out new adventures and experiences. Today, however, there is a hurdle to jump as Mars forms a challenging aspect with your own ruler, Saturn. Timing might be off as you struggle with whether to go forward with a project or pursue a desire. Feelings of guilt or the need to take care of others can prevent you from doing what you want to do, and while you’re itching to experience new things, a private matter or a self-limiting attitude can keep you on the fence. Slow down, but avoid becoming discouraged by a very temporary block.

Aquarius

Mars, the planet of action and energy, is energizing your solar eighth house until November 12th, dear Aquarius. During this cycle, you are less inclined to act on impulse, as you tend to employ strategy when it comes to moving your plans forward. This can be a time in which power politics can be stimulated in a close one-to-one relationship, and it’s best to try to clear the air as soon as possible if this is the case. Desires run more deeply than usual, or seem a little more complicated. Some of you could be meeting with stronger personalities during this time, and the confrontations that result are learning experiences for you, or meant to draw out your own passions and desires. Today, there can be some tension if you attempt to push something forward that needs more time to develop. What you might feel is a slight from a friend today may simply be a miscommunication.

Pisces

Energetic, assertive Mars is now activating your opposite sign and partnership house, dear Pisces, animating close relationships until November 12th. Problems that have been festering have a way of surfacing during this cycle, and seem to demand immediate attention! It can also be a time in which you have more courage to pursue a relationship. Watch that you don’t pass the buck during this cycle – own and acknowledge your role in conflicts or strife that might emerge now. Today can be a little challenging with Mars moving into a challenging position with Saturn. Timing can be off in your interactions – one is hot and the other cold, for example. You could get a sobering reminder of rules or limits, but this also gives you the time to make important edits and adjustments.
