Easy does it! You are moving from an evening last night that contained the explosive charge of Uranus square Pluto into a daytime on this Wednesday when the Moon parallels Mars (12:18PM PDT) as well as unites with the red planet (1:34PM PDT). I often refer to Mars as a shadowy and provocative planet that is usually behind a lot of earthly mayhem, accidents, inflammatory situations and angry expressions by ego-driven individuals. However, Mars strong can also symbolize bravery by our soldiers as well as citizens who rise to the occasion in a crisis. The red planet — when operating on a high level — can also signify advances in surgery, understanding the human blood stream, superlative achievements in athletics, leadership training, and building up your muscles via fitness routines. However, forewarned is forearmed, and this astrological adage is always a wise saying when Mars is extra potent — as it is today. Be aware that in the early hours, Pallas in Aries makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Jupiter in Gemini (2:50AM PDT). Ingenious ideas are eager to flow into your intellectual Fortress of Solitude. Stay tuned on to higher frequencies in order to absorb truths coming from invisible dimensions of consciousness.

Your Late Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, Sept. 16
It’s difficult to know our limits today because enthusiasm overrides common sense as energetic Mars forms an unsettling quincunx to buoyant Jupiter. Following our instincts enables us to accomplish extraordinary things, yet blind optimism can lead us into unstable territory. Meanwhile, the Moon’s shift into objective Libra at 8:55 am EDT, followed by rational Mercury this evening, helps to balance our emotions with clear thinking.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Although you want to shout your plans from a mountaintop today, everyone seems too distracted to hear you. Their lack of interest may be annoying and can even make you angry enough to prompt unnecessary risks as warrior Mars aligns with bombastic Jupiter. However, your hot temper could interfere with an otherwise workable solution. You are better off remaining silent until your feelings settle down. Channeling your enthusiasm into direct action is your best strategy for now.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Confronting an overly intense situation head-on today sounds like a smart idea, but you could make matters worse by coming on too strong. Although it’s wise to turn down your volume, it’s not helpful to just let the issue slide. However, if you’re overbearing in your approach you might complicate things by projecting your anger onto the current situation. Instead, be gentle but firm as you share your concerns. A little diplomacy goes a long way.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may be feeling insecure about your job today, prompting you to overcompensate and try to take on too much extra work. Displaying your competence is a wise strategy as long as you don’t overdo it. However, putting on a show without substance won’t solve anything because others will see through your facade. Even if you try to hide your worries, you still have to face the music in your own head. Performing to the best of your abilities is the simplest solution now.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may have to perform in the spotlight today even if you prefer working behind the scenes. You would like a chance to express your deeper feelings, but in a more private setting. The problem is that you don’t want to bury your emotions by putting a positive spin on everything. Thankfully, you don’t have to deceive anyone if you are working for a higher cause. Instead of wasting energy trying to hide now, imagine what can happen when you shine your truth for all to see.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You’re really busy, but it doesn’t seem as if you’re getting much accomplished today. Your frustration could provoke risky behavior as you attempt to plow through the resistance that seems to be preventing your progress. But impulsive actions won’t be rewarded now; it’s better to keep your rebellious attitude under wraps and adopt a steadier pace for the next couple of days. Find a healthy physical outlet to work off any extra stress.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You could push yourself too hard today as you attempt to reach a lofty goal. But finishing what you start may be less important than doing your best, even if it feels as if you’re running in circles. It’s crucial to stay on course; veering off track might be rather confusing because the closer you get to the finish line, the farther away it seems. Relax; you have more time than you think.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Relationships seem too intense for you today, especially if you get into a serious disagreement with someone. Your nerves are on edge now and you may quickly grow annoyed by comments that you would normally just let pass by. There’s no need to struggle, even if you get hooked by your own drama. Don’t exhaust yourself by overextending your energy worrying about things you can’t control. Spending time on your own gives you a chance to gather your thoughts and listen to your heart.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are ready to begin a new project as optimistic Jupiter aligns with enterprising Mars in your sign. However, you may not be able to convert your intentions into direct action as quickly as you wish. Unfortunately, your chances for success will diminish if you try too hard at this time. You might be better off retreating now in order to make your final preparations. Even if your imagination is racing ahead, taking a more methodical approach is your best bet.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You might feel as if you are driving through a minefield as action-hero Mars energizes your key planet Jupiter. You want to slow down but Mars revs up your engine and takes you for a wild ride. You may realize that you’re moving too fast and talking too loudly with no solutions in sight. In order to make the journey successfully, you must figure out how to decrease your speed and tone down your rhetoric. Apply the brakes gently and listen to the advice of someone you trust.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s a challenge to stick with your regular routines these days as adventurous Jupiter moves through your 6th House of Habits. However, once you are sure that your recent changes are really improvements, be ready to explore new territory. Don’t try to spin your wheels too fast because you are already doing better than you realize. Fortunately, your cool competence enables your talents to shine wherever you choose to go next.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It’s a very busy day as action-hero Mars aligns with your key planet Uranus. Career-related pressures are already motivating you to think about next week. But you also crave the sense of adventure that comes from going on a long trip, engaging in a course of study or committing to a spiritual practice. You may reach a point today where you think you’re ready to jump over the edge. Instead of visualizing your future, get busy and make it happen.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You have been in a long-term planning mode for a while — more concerned with next year than with tomorrow. Fortunately, you have the determination to succeed even if there’s a long way to go to reach your goals. Nevertheless, a sense of urgency may overtake everything else now, requiring you to deal with an immediate crisis. It’s time for you to swim in the pond of the present moment. Trust your intuition to lead you in the right direction.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 10 (You can see if what was suppose to happened, happened!)
We can get a lot accomplished today, especially if mental work is involved. Our ability to concentrate is supported by brainy Mercury’s conjunction with the Sun in critical Virgo. Even if we have been all over the map recently, we need to set new priorities now, rethink our plans and apply what we know as efficiently as possible. Thankfully, the cautious Cancer Moon harmoniously trines assertive Mars, giving us the energy to finish what we start.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’re eager to share your thoughts about working in a more productive environment, even if you aren’t usually very methodical. Unfortunately, your unconventional approach may create conflict between you and your co-workers. Engaging in an honest dialogue today might ultimately lead you to see that your assumptions might not be correct. Thankfully, a lesson learned now empowers you to work more closely with others without sacrificing your independence.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
It’s difficult to be yourself while also living up to someone else’s expectations. However, your interpretation of what’s happening might be slightly off now. It isn’t anyone else’s judgment that’s causing you to worry; it’s your own beliefs that are problematic today. Instead of assuming that you know what others want, ask them. Be specific with your questions before jumping to any erroneous conclusions.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are trying your best to focus your attention today, but may feel scattered anyway. It’s difficult to get much done because you want to do everything just right. Acknowledging your lack of concentration is helpful now even if you don’t want to admit that it’s hard to settle down. Talking about your frustrations enables you to figure out what you must do next. Don’t delay since the window of opportunity won’t remain open for long. Find a sympathetic friend and start sharing your story.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may be pulled in a variety of directions today, and it’s OK if you can’t decide which feelings to act on. Fortunately, your need to choose a path becomes less pressing as the day unfolds because circumstances make your choice pretty obvious. But don’t turn your life upside down yet; waiting for a better time to assert your will increases your chances for success.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You might think that communications are clear now, only to discover that someone heard something quite different from what you said. Instead of trying to go back to untangle the misunderstanding, focus on the present moment and go forward. Although you still may run into a detour that temporarily derails your progress today, something valuable can be gained in the process.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Don’t just assume that everyone knows what you want now, even if it seems totally obvious to you. Keep in mind that others cannot really read your mind and they will jump to an erroneous conclusion if you don’t say anything at all. It’s up to you; taking the time to share your thoughts today should help diffuse a conflict before it ever gets off the ground.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may become the center of attention today in spite of criticism from friends or associates who are concerned about your participation with the group. Of course you have the right to withdraw if you desire, but ignoring your workmates might be even more difficult. Either way, you have some explaining to do, and clearly stating your intentions can greatly simplify the situation. A little light goes a long way to alleviate the dark.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Get right to the point today because others are listening carefully to what you say and will take your message to heart. But don’t be overly dramatic because this could alienate those who already support you. In fact, if you let your feelings run amok, your message could get lost or turned around so that you are misunderstood. Success is likely when you contain your emotions while still communicating with conviction.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your unconventional thoughts about beauty could take others for an adventurous ride today, but just because your ideas are far out doesn’t automatically make them better. Instead of going on and on, spinning tales of far-off lands, try to keep your thinking process closer to home. Talking about your feelings and your needs will encourage intimacy between you and your loved ones instead of increasing the distance.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Although you may think that what you have to say is important, don’t turn it into a major drama today. Some things are best talked about with a quiet respect. When it comes to the hidden mysteries of your soul and the inclinations of your heart, your words will have more impact now if you speak softly and keep an open mind at the response.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may be overwhelmed by something that you hear now, and you need some time by yourself to process your feelings. Unfortunately, you might not be able to escape the current situation. Don’t waste your energy resisting, for an intense conversation you have today could teach you something significant about your core values. There will be time later to sort everything out.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may get so caught up in the minute details of your plan that you can’t convey it to anyone else. This communication breakdown can be quite exasperating, especially if you have something important to say. Part of your problem stems from talking too much when you are excited. Being prepared helps; write down your main thoughts and use this as an outline to help you stay on track.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 10
Some days there is one major alignment that deserves most of the attention. Today we have that situation when the Sun and Mercury form their Superior Conjunction — aligning at 19 degrees of Virgo (5:45AM PDT). The reality is that the Earth, the Sun and Mercury — moving quickly and on the far side of the Sun — are lined up in the solar system. Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar, two of the most eminent astrologers of the 20th century, would have called this a Full Mercury, when cosmic seed-ideas are attempting to blossom in the minds, hearts and souls of human beings. Stop worrying about things you can’t change. Focus attention on excelling in your literary, verbal, artistic and musical forms of communicating. Athletics and fitness routines are accentuated — thanks to a flowing trine in water signs from the Moon in Cancer to Mars in Scorpio (9:06AM PDT). Because the day and afternoon build up to a supportive, 60-degree link from the Sun to the Moon (10:55PM PDT), you can take advantage of many streams of creative expression to find fulfillment. The love boat enters exotic ports of call overnight as the Moon approaches a parallel to Venus (forming exactly at 3:21AM PDT tomorrow). If you are flying solo, be an artistic whirlwind or reach out to give a friend a helping hand.
Emotions run strong today, yet they may hit a wall. We might feel alone and separated from someone we love as Venus, the planet of desire, aligns with Saturn, the planet of resistance. We reach out, but fall short of satisfaction. Thankfully, action-hero Mars forms a harmonious trine with healer Chiron, enabling us to overcome some of the obstacles to pleasure. Additionally, the impulsive Aries Moon encourages us to push our feelings to the edge.
