This is one of those days when there are a wide variety of alignments and you hope to get through the 24-hour time-period relatively unscathed. Venus square to Saturn (12:45AM PDT) followed by Mercury in a contra-parallel formation with Neptune (2:06AM PDT) do not sound very auspicious if you are involved with business, trade and investments. A Mars-Pluto sextile of 60-degrees (4:06AM PDT) is a more welcome vitality booster. However, the Sun and Saturn attempt to crash that party when they link up in a frictional, 45-degree connection (7:44AM PDT). All is not lost since Mars makes another favorable tie — this time a harmonious trine with Chiron in water signs (8:13AM PDT). Healing forces are back on the march. Love vibrations increase in frequency and fashion-style-beauty factors are enhanced when Venus trines Juno in water signs as well (2:24PM PDT). Everything seems to be changing toward the positive end of the astro-psychic spectrum when Mars in Scorpio presses its luck by forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link with shock-master Uranus in Aries (10:42PM PDT). Mars and Uranus in challenging aspects almost always have the capacity to equate with explosive and volatile conditions. Rash acts and shoot-from-the-hip behavior patterns are taboo. Egocentric moves will backfire. Be the picture of human kindness as Monday night morphs into Tuesday morning.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 2
We are ready to blast ahead today as we leave the previous emotional cycle in the past. The Moon stomps into spontaneous Aries at 1:37 am EDT, encouraging us to look ahead and engage new feelings rather than processing recent experiences. The Moon’s dynamic aspects to unrelenting Pluto and progressive Uranus push us forward. Nevertheless, we would still benefit from looking back over the previous month before impulsively jumping into the future.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It’s a day of contrary cosmic messages as the Moon in your sign motivates you to take charge. Meanwhile, confusion from the past few days still lingers, holding you back and preventing you from swinging into action. It’s challenging to find a way to honor both sets of feelings. Go ahead and drive into new territory, but move slowly to allow time for your emotions to catch up with your intentions.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your fantasies take on new colors now and the symbols are different from what they once were. Nevertheless you are not ready to let go of your familiar thoughts and feelings. Don’t be too hard on yourself; you don’t need to move any faster than what feels right. It isn’t necessary to justify your actions — or lack of them — to anyone at this time. Just trust the timing of the universe and accept that you are right on schedule.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You feel restless today, yet you still can play the role of a quiet observer who is carefully taking notes and considering your alternatives. Your inner strategist takes charge now, making you less concerned with the hectic pace of life. Cultivate this inner voice as it works to create the most efficient path possible through the stormy seas that rage around you.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You want to be seen in public now with the extroverted Aries Moon traveling through your 10th House of Status. Although your feelings are strong today, they may still be in dynamic conflict with the logic that you’ve wrapped around yourself for protection. Thankfully, you understand that the emotional tides are in constant flux. Ride out this wave and you’ll feel better soon enough.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Even if you are still a bit uncertain about what’s most important now, you’re probably feeling more optimistic than you did yesterday. The path is clearing and you have become, at least temporarily, aware of your destiny. You can grow frustrated if you believe you need to reach your goals right away. This is going to take time to unfold. Grant yourself the luxury of getting excited, but don’t strive for goals that are so unreachable that you set yourself up for disappointment.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You need to do the right thing, whatever the emotional cost. You might have recently retreated for a while to make sure that your feelings were real. Now that you have thoroughly analyzed the situation, you’re eager to set your plan into motion today, but this may not be as easy as you think. Go ahead, but remember you are in pursuit of long-term happiness and not immediate gratification.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You’ve been playing out your situation with style and grace, even if you recently had to face a high level of uncertainty. However, you can actually improve the outcome of a tricky situation with a proper attitude today. Thankfully, you just might snatch success from the jaws of defeat if you work in partnership now. Remember that you are building foundations and you’ll have plenty of time for fun and games later on.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
There is a dark side to the power of Scorpio that adds to your mystique. But this isn’t an evil force; it’s merely a portion of reality that hides in the shadows. You’re aware that something is lurking unseen nearly all the time, but if you can see it now, you can deal with it. Watch for signs of suppressed possessiveness, resentment or jealousy. Facing difficult issues with fierce determination ensures that you will emerge stronger and brighter in the near future.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are in love with life itself and are ready for a very special surprise. But something is in the way, preventing you from fully expressing your usual happy-go-lucky optimism. Don’t look at the current situation as an obstacle that stands between you and your happiness. Instead, be thankful that your search for meaning is slowing you down so that you can learn what you need to know from emotional interactions along the way.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You tend to restrain from expressing your first reactions, yet you may feel even more conservative today than usual. This is not about national politics; it’s your emotional politics you’re concerned with now and your personal relationships are strongly impacted by your caution. You would rather settle for a little less excitement, love, or money than gamble on the possibility of losing it all. Remember, nothing ventured; nothing gained. A small risk is better than none at all.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your interplanetary radio is playing private requests today, but the cosmos seems to be broadcasting tunes with conflicting messages. You may not be able to decide whether to follow your initial impulse to be with people or your current desire to be alone. Remember, whatever happens now, things will change. Staying flexible enables you to handle the contradictions with grace as you experience them.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might feel that you’re not receiving enough emotional support now from those closest to you. You may get a bit discouraged today, but being down on yourself or others is not an effective use of your time. The best thing you can do is analyze the situation clearly, isolate the source of your negativity and share your feelings about it. Initiate a new pattern in your life; even if it doesn’t start off smoothly, stirring things up can bring about positive changes down the road.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 2
Always appreciate these kind of days when the universe is relatively quiescent since the next 72 hours after today is filled with an explosion of stellar aspects that can create an enormous wave of discord around the globe. Right now the main energy-field is focused on the Moon in the first sign of the zodiac — fiery Aries — and uniting with Uranus (1:00PM PDT) and Pallas (1:49PM PDT). These two celestial bodies have a lot in common in that they both stimulate the human capacity for genius and mental brilliance. They already united in Aries back in May and will do so again on September 5 and then in late January 2013. If you have a rebellious streak, desire to do things outside the box or in an eccentric manner, then today’s cosmic set-up may be highly stimulating. Board, card and word games can be a blast. Problem-solving, strategy sessions and advanced research in the fields of science and metaphysics are highlighted. Stop trying to change others or make the world a different place; lift up your own consciousness or simply live more fully in the moment to discover your oneness to divinity.
