General overview of the day of September 03, 2024
It’s nearly impossible to know in advance what will happen under today’s stars. Energetic Mars forms a challenging square to watery Neptune at 12:10 a.m. EDT, making it feel like we’re all wading through a swamp. Meanwhile, the Virgo moon will oppose Saturn and then square Jupiter, making it hard to know whether to hit the gas or the brakes. A final lunar quincunx with Chiron will help with healing, but the process could be quite confusing.
Ram
March 21 – April 19
Knowing where you’re going isn’t easy. This cosmic confusion is due to a difficult square between Mars and Neptune, which makes it almost impossible to feel like you’re making real progress. With Mars in your communications sector, you’ll need to be especially careful with your words. Neptune is very present in this picture, blurring your vision of details. You could end up with your foot in it if you’re not careful.
Bull
April 20 – May 20
The urge to give your all is strong today, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best idea. Mars in your money-oriented 2nd house is in opposition to Neptune in your altruistic 11th house. Neptune loves to sacrifice, which could inspire you to make a large donation or even give away a bunch of your belongings to a good cause. It’s certainly admirable, but you might be giving more than is wise, so don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
It’s not your imagination that’s making you feel bad. You have more energy than usual when Mars is in your active sign, but using that energy productively or usefully will be nearly impossible as Mars locks into a confusing square with foggy Neptune in your 10th House of Ambition. Don’t panic if your goals suddenly seem to evaporate or your motivations become much less driving. Things aren’t clear cut with Neptune involved, so avoid overthinking it.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Every sentence may seem punctuated by a question mark. You tend to get a little disoriented when Mars stumbles through your subconscious sector, but things will get even weirder when it does battle with illusory Neptune in your 9th house. You may feel like you’re tumbling down a rabbit hole into Wonderland, only to keep falling with no destination in sight. That’s okay: When it’s this hard to get anywhere meaningful, you have every right to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Lion
July 23 – August 22
Your mind is caught in a game of tug-of-war. Your popularity is undeniable as Mars moves through your social 11th house, but the clash between Mars and Neptune in your deeply private 8th house could make you feel like people expect too much from you. There’s nothing wrong with taking space for yourself, so be prepared to draw a line in the sand if necessary. That said, Neptune can blur boundaries, so it can be difficult to decide where that line should be.
Virgin
August 23 – September 22
You may feel like you have to do everything yourself today. Mars is in your career sector, giving you the push to make a name for yourself, but watch out for the Red Planet clashing with Neptune in your partnership sector! Someone may not live up to your expectations. This can be especially frustrating if you can normally count on this particular person. The more you rely on others right now, the more likely you are to be disappointed in their efforts.
Balance
September 23 – October 22
Your responsibilities aren’t exactly a priority right now. You’re much more eager to go on an adventure or immerse yourself in a good book as Mars makes its way through your 9th House of Growth, but you might feel like you’re missing out when Mars squares Neptune in your 6th House of Practicality. Neptune is a rather confusing planet, though, so even if you try to be as responsible as possible, it’s going to be hard to make progress. Let yourself dream instead.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
It’s hard to know how much of your personality you should share with others, at least under the current stars. You tend to keep your cards to yourself as Mars moves through your focused 8th house, but its square to Neptune in your expressive 5th house could make you feel like the spotlight will find you no matter what. The danger here is sharing too much—especially information that involves other people—because you could reveal a secret without even realizing it. Choose your words carefully.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Someone may be pushing you to the limit without even understanding the impact of their actions. Mars is stirring up your 7th House of Relationships while currently battling mysterious Neptune in your 4th House of Emotions, so be wary of someone who says or does something that leaves you feeling confused. That being said, Neptune can be obscuring the truth, so you may not understand exactly why you’re so upset—or maybe you just don’t know how to respond. There’s no need to force a conclusion.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Don’t be surprised if you can’t seem to get much done right now. You’re more capable than usual as motivator Mars moves through your efficient 6th house, but the red planet will make a difficult alignment with Neptune in your charged 3rd house, which could leave you spinning your wheels aimlessly. Your colleagues or other people in your life could also prove particularly unhelpful or unreliable, so try not to expect too much from anyone right now, including yourself.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Fun can be free, but it can also come at a price. Mars encourages you to have fun as it travels through your 5th House of Pleasure, but you’ll want to be wary of throwing your money out the window when it crashes into Neptune in your income sector. An opportunity could present itself, but it could end up costing much more than expected, or maybe a few small indulgences add up to break the bank. A strict budget is your best friend.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Knowing your mind isn’t always easy, especially on a day like today. Mars in your demonstrative 4th house brings your feelings to a head, which can be cathartic but also heavy. However, you’ll likely struggle to know what to do with all this internal movement when Mars squares Neptune in your sign, casting a veil of confusion and mystery over the inner workings of your soul. Instead of trying to force things, let yourself float in this place of uncertainty. Certainty will come soon enough.
