What happens when several alignments — challenging and encouraging — occur during an extensive void lunar cycle in Taurus? That’s what you will discover during most of today as the Moon in the second sign of the zodiac is somewhat out of sorts and in void condition until 9:11PM PDT when the Moon will enter airy Gemini. Opportunities for forward progress certainly seem to be manifesting concerning healing matters and love bonds early on when Chiron makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pluto (2:25AM PDT) followed quickly by the Moon bring parallel to Venus (2:28AM PDT). However, with the Moon being void, perhaps the Chiron-Pluto and Moon-Venus aspects will be less effective than normal. Several hours later, Vesta makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Uranus (7:05AM PDT) — an alignment that should help you to increase the value of your investments and assets. Nevertheless, the presence of the void Moon could water down that energy-field. Venus shifts from Cancer to Leo (7:49AM PDT) — a cycle that lasts until October 3. Another fairly strong alignment — Venus moving 45-degrees to Jupiter (10:47AM PDT) — occurs under the void lunar aegis, and could influence it one way or another, toward building up good fortune or warning human souls not to overdo a good thing. Eventually, the guessing games will stop at 9:11PM PDT when the void cycle ends and Gemini Moon begins — emphasizing reading, writing, arts, crafts and hobbies over the next 2+ day lunar dispensation in the third sign of the zodiac. Hit the history or biography books later on when Mercury makes a 45-degree link with Saturn (9:45PM PDT). It makes sense to learn from your mentors and teachers.

Finally, Daily Horoscopes for September 3
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.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may try to avoid fulfilling your obligations on the home front. However, you won’t be able to escape from doing your part no matter how much you struggle. You might not be pleased with those who make demands on you, but you don’t need to isolate yourself from everyone else. Instead of building walls around your heart, try meeting others halfway. Finding a healthy balance between dependence and freedom is your best route to healthier relationships.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Someone at work may get on your case today about something you consider trivial. You might not intend any harm, but what you say now can inadvertently hurt a person you care about. Try to maintain a high level of compassion and tenderness. If you open your heart a deeper friendship will have a chance to blossom, even if it doesn’t happen overnight.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You might be dealing with issues of low self-esteem today, making you doubt your every move. Problems may surface within a relationship if you withdraw to address your concerns. This detachment could make the other person uncomfortable with the emotional distance. Keep the communication channels as clear as possible to avoid any trouble. Try not to take yourself or others too seriously now since the energy will warm up again in a few days.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Loving Venus in your sign squares austere Saturn, stimulating feelings of dissatisfaction. You might not even want to try to bridge the gulf between your emotions and the circumstances of your life. Be courageous and face the current issues, even if it doesn’t seem like it’s worth the effort. Considering the options, do whatever is required to give it your best shot. You may not feel satisfied with your accomplishments today, yet the rewards will follow if you simply do the work.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Today is one of those days when it is difficult to motivate yourself to do much of anything. It’s easy to come up with reasons to lay low, yet it is important that you take immediate action. Methodical and careful movement can help you make progress to your goals. But if you leap before you look you will have to go back to the beginning and start all over again.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You have social obligations that you prefer to avoid now as sobering Saturn stresses gracious Venus in your 11th House of Friends and Community. Unfortunately, you still have to deliver on your previous commitments, even if you want to stay home. It’s easier to justify attending a function if you consider it to be business related. Just show up without expectations and it will probably end up being more fun than you anticipated.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your key planet Venus squares conservative Saturn today and this dynamic could work in one of two ways. On one hand, you may feel like pulling back from your interactions with others as you attempt to establish clear boundaries for yourself. On the other hand, you can apply your talents in practical ways now. Even if you don’t feel as creative as usual, your artistic or technical skills could still be put to good use. Overcome any discouragement or self-doubt you might face and push steadily toward your goals.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Although you’re aware of your feelings, you don’t necessarily want to make them available for public consumption. You aren’t saying what’s on your mind now and others probably realize that you’re keeping something private. Nevertheless, they cannot figure out what to do about your silence. Don’t be overly concerned about what others think. Put all your energy into choosing what to do next.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You could be caught up in a complicated dilemma that pushes you right up against the edges of your own comfort zone. But it’s really not so bad now, even if you are more anxious in the emotional realms than you are in the world of actions and ideas. Don’t try to control your feelings since that never works as well as you think. Instead, observe what makes you uncomfortable today. Awareness can be the most effective catalyst for change all by itself.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may be required to choose responsibility over fun as your key planet Saturn forms a stressful square with pleasurable Venus. Your life seems to be controlled by circumstances now rather than your desires and it grates on your nerves. However, you are learning about a higher truth, so push through whatever is holding you back. Delaying gratification seems like a sacrifice, but could lead to a deeper sense of contentment in the long run.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Although you may face your normal routine today, it’s important to also take time to think about your emotional needs. Even if this self-reflection seems out of character, you stand to make real gains if you can isolate what you require for your own happiness. You might try to apply logic to the situation, but it won’t work now. Leave the rational world behind while you explore the realms of your imagination and heart.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You can create a bubble of happiness around you if you accept the present limitations now. Unfortunately, there may not be room enough in the bubble for others, so you might experience a temporary sense of isolation. However, pushing beyond the apparent boundaries allows you to stay connected with those you love no matter what.

Expect a busy bouncy weekend with the Moon moving through your energetic sign on Friday and Saturday.

Speak your truth, but deliver your message gently so it has the best chance to be received and appreciated for its true intentions.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Maintaining focus and staying emotionally present might prove to be difficult on Friday and Saturday. The flirtatious Gemini Moon pulls your attention in several directions at once.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Too much of a good thing is not necessarily healthy for you this weekend. The busy bee Gemini Moon joins exuberant Jupiter on Saturday, which can overwhelm you with activities. Taking on additional responsibilities isn’t wise now since you could be so impressive in a leadership role that no one else steps up. You have a right to have fun just like everyone else. Put down the load you’re carrying for others so you can lighten up and join the party.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Support may come from unexpected sources this week when the Sun aligns with propitious Jupiter on Friday. Acquiring information from a friend or ally is likely to open your eyes about relationships if you haven’t been seeing the whole picture. Whether single and searching or content with your current partner, you have more options than you think. Speaking freely about your feelings and listening objectively to the feedback you receive can put you on a happier emotional track.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re an excellent emotional poker player because you don’t show your hand until you’re absolutely ready to play. But the game is changing this week with captivating Venus moving into outgoing Leo and your very public 10th House on Thursday. This is about pulling down the curtains and revealing your feelings more openly. Putting yourself out there isn’t always easy, but taking risks can actually be fun if you just trust your instincts. Sharing your heart invites others in to get to know the real you.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be gifted with an embarrassment of social riches this weekend with the diverse Gemini Moon occupying your 7th House of Partners on Friday and Saturday. Striking up conversations with new people or spicing up a current relationship by taking it in a different direction makes your personal life much more interesting. Save Sunday for hanging out with a person you trust so much that you don’t even have to talk to feel connected.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You might be more scattered than usual on Friday and Saturday. Stop trying to stick to a strict schedule or follow a preconceived plan, since circumstances and moods can shift in an instant.

But if you find a way to adapt without losing your cool, you may be rewarded with a relaxing Sunday that’s safe and warm with cozy companionship.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Friday and Saturday are perfect for playing any role that you want. The flexible Gemini Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Creativity and Romance makes you a delight to those lucky enough to be around you.

You can lift their spirits by simply keeping your heart incredibly open and accessible.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your desire to be inclusive is one of your most endearing traits and entertaining at your place this weekend is an easy way to demonstrate your generosity. The chatty Gemini Moon is hanging out in your 4th House of Roots on Friday and Saturday, inspiring you to make friends and family feel like they belong. Yet spreading yourself too thin among a group may not bring the closeness you need. Save Sunday for spending quality time with just one special person who deserves all your attention
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 3
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.
