Horoscope For Today: Wednesday, September 3, 2025

The day begins with the sun and moon in a loose trine between earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn, respectively.

At 8:50 AM EST the moon in Capricorn opposes Jupiter at 18° Cancer, intensifying our emotional need for safety and familiarity and creating the perfect storm of astro weather for a paranoid crash-out. No matter your political bent, this is a strongly traditionalist energy that demands attention and enforces rules that not everyone is going to be comfortable with.

Jupiter is a major player today and one of its significant aspects sets the tone for much of the day. That is to say, as Jupiter in Cancer trines the North Node at 18° Pisces, we are unable to ignore the spiritual aspect of our cultural and national identities.

Up until now, the fervor has been predominantly nationalistic in nature. Today, however, marks a turning point. There is the sense of an impending holy war that none of us can sit out.

What cultural and ethical values are you willing to die for? Many of our deeply held convictions will be shaken as we are forced to acknowledge that courage often comes at a very high price.

More challenging energy abounds today on the collective level, so take precautions if you work in a profession that requires a particular level of nuance when communicating ideas.

While Mercury is now exalted in Virgo, enhancing our collective attention to detail and precision, the whole day it is sitting at a difficult square with Uranus at 1° Gemini.

The energy might feel a little bit reminiscent of Mercury retrograde, even though the messenger planet is actually direct and in the best possible placement! The unpredictability of Uranus throws a proverbial wrench in the best-laid plans, especially since it is also making its own trine to retrograde Pluto at 1° Aquarius.

What can you expect as you go about your day? For a generalized individual forecast, read on—but remember, you should be reading for your rising sign, not sun sign, for the most accuracy.

Aries.

This morning the moon in your tenth house comes into opposition with Jupiter in your fourth, reflecting tension between your professional and personal lives, respectively. You’re going to feel driven towards emotional satisfaction through your career accomplishments today, but you might miss the true blessings right within your own home unless you take time to look for them. As Jupiter trines the North Node in your twelfth house, you’re encouraged to look inward and spend time away from external noise to better understand yourself and your family’s needs. Meanwhile, all day Mercury in your sixth house is in an uncomfortable square with Uranus in your third, bringing unexpected and potentially disruptive communication from your coworkers. In turn, Uranus is making a trine to retrograde Pluto in your eleventh, drastically transforming the way you share your ideas—and ideals—with your wider network of friends and colleagues.

Taurus.

This morning, as the moon in your ninth house faces off with Jupiter in your third, you are torn between your deep desire to travel or drop everything to move abroad—all while your local community is expanding faster than you can believe. A sibling or cousin might literally be giving birth and growing your extended family, giving you a reason to stick around for a few years longer, or you might get a local job offer that provides you with everything you could possibly dream of right in your own backyard. Jupiter’s trine with the North Node in your eleventh house, too, brings idealistic friends and likeminded dreamers into your midst. Meanwhile, all day long, Mercury in your fifth house sits at an awkward square to Uranus in your second, radically disrupting your finances as they relate to a specific creative project or romantic experience. At the same time, Uranus is forming a trine to retrograde Pluto in your tenth, promising massive changes to the way you earn money in the public eye.

Gemini.

In the morning the moon in your eighth house opposes Jupiter in your second, catalyzing your strong work ethic and bringing you possible glimpses of prosperity that you never knew were possible. It’s a day to dream big, but also to be realistic; when Jupiter trines the North Node in your tenth house, you are almost guaranteed to be visible in the public in some way, and if you haven’t been entirely honest about your financial situation, it’s about to be everyone’s business. On the other hand, if you’ve been doing everything right, you could be elevated to new heights in your professional life—and celebrated for your great achievements. Meanwhile, for the whole day Mercury in your fourth house is forming a square to Uranus in your first, ensuring that everyone in your family is going to have a strong opinion on your changing identity. Uranus, additionally, is making a trine to retrograde Pluto in your ninth house, bringing large-scale, sweeping changes to your belief system, which in turn determine the way you show up in the world. The new version of you might be shocking to some people you’ve known and loved for a long time, but those who choose to come with you on this new journey are the real deal.

Cancer.

This morning, when the moon in your seventh house faces off against Jupiter in your first, you can expect to feel conflict between the emotional needs of your partner and the potential abundance being offered to you as an individual. Others find you particularly inspiring right now, and you are capable of birthing very significant creative ideas—or literally conceiving, if that is something you and your partner have been discussing. Either way, it’s a very fertile day for you to begin something new and reap the rewards, whether they come in the form of spiritual satisfaction or financial prosperity. When Jupiter, in turn, trines the North Node in your ninth house, you may find yourself drawn back to the faith of your childhood or filled with divine inspiration. Meanwhile, as Mercury hangs out in your third house all day making a tense square to Uranus in your twelfth, you will likely feel the need to isolate yourself from your extended family, whose voices and opinions are undoubtedly going to feel intrusive and unwanted at this time. With Uranus’ additional trine to retrograde Pluto in your eighth house, you’re preparing for a drastic transformation to your finances, debts, and relationship to your own mortality—and in all likelihood, this is a journey you’re going to have to undertake on your own.

Leo.

In the morning, the moon in your sixth house comes into opposition with Jupiter in your twelfth, reminding you to balance your mental and physical wellness needs. They work in tandem, not on separate axes; the body keeps the score, after all. Jupiter’s trine with the North Node in your eighth house, however, forces you to confront some of your deeper psychological wounds surrounding sexuality, mortality, and shared resources. Meanwhile, throughout the course of the day, Mercury will be in your second house squaring Uranus in your eleventh, encouraging honest communication with your closest friends about your financial goals and how to realistically achieve them over the long term. Furthermore, as Uranus trines retrograde Pluto in your seventh house, your broader network is changing so dramatically that you may not recognize yourself—or your partner—by the end of it. This is a time to keep your friends close as you weather the storm within your marriage or committed partnership.

Virgo.

This morning the moon in your fifth house opposes Jupiter in your eleventh, creating the right climate for you to achieve your artistic ambitions, as long as you are open to letting go of some dreams in order to make room for the new. You may just find yourself in the right place at the right time and meet someone highly significant to your creative or spiritual journey. Plus, when Jupiter trines the North Node in your seventh house, there is a strong possibility for the fated beginning of a serious, long-term romantic partnership. Meanwhile, with Mercury in your first house all day making a square to Uranus in your tenth, your gift for language influences your career in surprising and unexpected ways, opening doors you never thought possible. Uranus’ simultaneous trine to retrograde Pluto in your sixth house promises that the landscape of your work environment is about to undergo unfathomable shifts. Be wary of burnout and physical exhaustion, too, as your workaholism can easily catch up to you at this time and manifest as a physical illness.

Libra.

This morning’s opposition between the moon in your fourth house and Jupiter in your tenth reflects momentary tension between your family life and your career; the former is where you’d prefer to place all of your emotional energy, but the latter brings the promise of security and abundance. Find a reasonable balance, and acknowledge that sometimes you need to step outside the comforts of your home in order to ensure that all of your loved ones are taken care of. If you’re a parent, this is the type of transit that often manifests as “mom guilt.” Jupiter’s trine to the North Node in your sixth house provides you with an overwhelming amount of good fortune in your career. Meanwhile, as Mercury hangs out in your twelfth house all day, squaring Uranus in your ninth, you may find it difficult to express your true beliefs due to your own indecision and uncertainty. If you don’t know what you stand for right now, that’s okay. You’re allowed to simply sit with the discomfort. At the same time, Uranus is trine retrograde Pluto in your fifth house, ensuring that your cultural, religious, and ideological beliefs are radically influencing your creative output—and putting an end to short-lived flings that feel emotionally and intellectually dissatisfying.

Scorpio.

This morning, as the moon in your third house opposes Jupiter in your ninth, your loyalty to your extended family is tested as the potential for a new and enlightening adventure presents itself. Whether your new era comes in the form of a study-abroad program, a cross-country move, or a religious conversion, you’re going to have to ignore some unsolicited opinions in order to accomplish what you really want in life. When Jupiter trines the North Node in your fifth house, you’re likely to feel invigorated creatively as you attempt to infuse everything you’ve been learning into your work. Meanwhile, all day Mercury in your eleventh house will be making a square to Uranus in your eighth, catalyzing uncomfortable but necessary dialogue with your friends about the darker topics in life: sex, money, death, and everything in between. Use this astrological weather as a chance to divulge the secrets that have been keeping you sick, and offer a listening ear to any of your friends who may be struggling, too. There’s also the trine between Uranus and retrograde Pluto in your fourth house, which is stirring up drama in your home and family life—and forcing you to reflect on your memories with aging relatives, deal with matters surrounding inheritance, and confront your own fears about getting older.

Sagittarius.

Today, in the morning, the moon in your second house comes into an opposition with Jupiter in your eighth, ramping up the tension you’ve been feeling regarding your finances. If you’ve been fighting legal battles with Grandma’s executor or a mysterious great-aunt left you a fortune in her will, you’ll be pleased to know that everything is likely to work out in your favor—and when Jupiter trines the North Node in your fourth house, you might learn you’ve inherited property. At the very least, due to your luck surrounding other people’s resources right now, you’ll be able to comfortably expand your living situation and enjoy some of the finer things in life. Meanwhile, for the whole day Mercury in your tenth house will square off against Uranus in your seventh, giving you the confidence to speak out publicly—whether at work or on social media—and invite an unexpected new relationship into your life. If you’ve sworn off dating or you made a vow to yourself never to enter into an office romance, you could end up eating your words by the end of the day. The simultaneous trine between Uranus and retrograde Pluto in your third house all but guarantees changes in your relationship with your siblings, cousins, and other extended family. They might not approve of your new whirlwind romance, but it’s up to you to decide whether to pursue it anyway.

Capricorn.

This morning the moon in your first house faces off against Jupiter in your seventh, placing you in the spotlight even as your relationship demands increasingly more of your attention. For those of you in the early stages of wedding planning, this is a time to delegate and slow down. Otherwise, you’re going to get burnt out before the big day even arrives. Jupiter’s trine to the North Node in your third house brings a pleasant camaraderie as you integrate your partner into your family of origin; it’s a good time to move back to your hometown, if you’ve had the creeping suspicion that you might prefer to ditch the city life and return to small-town America to be close to your family. Meanwhile, all day long Mercury is situated in your ninth house and forming a tense square to Uranus in your sixth, suggesting that you may face challenges when trying to convey your values and beliefs to your coworkers. If you’re starting to feel misaligned at work, it might be time to start looking around for a position that allows you to show up as your full self, not a censored or watered-down version. Then there’s the trine between Uranus and retrograde Pluto in your second house, triggering explosive and shocking changes to your net worth. If you’ve been putting in the work, you could stand to gain a whole lot. If you’ve been ambitious at the expense of your own morals, this might be a more humbling experience, to say the least.

Aquarius.
