All twelve signs on September 11, 2026
Aries — 6th house
Work, routine and the body's upkeep set the day's terms, with the Moon in your sixth house. The Moon in Virgo notices the flaw before the whole, and cannot unsee it. For Aries that lands in work, routine, health and the small maintenance of a life. The Sun is in your sixth house this month, which keeps work, routine, health and the small maintenance of a life lit for another few weeks. Sextiles like this one between the Sun and Mars are opportunities in the plain sense: conditional on somebody taking them. Counted from Aries that runs between your 6th and 4th houses. The trine holding Mercury and Pluto is comfortable, and comfortable aspects pass unnoticed rather more often than they are used. Counted from Aries that runs between your 7th and 11th houses. Rising and setting with the Sun, the new Moon keeps the same hours as daylight and stays out of sight. That part of the cycle is passing through your 6th house.
Love. Venus is in your eighth house today, which places affection near shared money, debt, intimacy and what is not said out loud. Work. Mercury in your seventh house puts the day's thinking on partners, opponents and anyone you deal with one to one.
Taurus — 5th house
There is an unguarded quality to the Moon in your fifth house that suits romance, children and the amateur version of a craft.

The Sun is in your fifth house this month, which keeps play, romance, children and anything you make for its own sake lit for another few weeks. The Sun sextile Mars is an easy angle, but an easy angle only helps if something is already in motion. Counted from Taurus that runs between your 5th and 3rd houses. Nothing obstructs Mercury and Pluto at this angle, though an unobstructed path is only worth something with a journey already begun. Counted from Taurus that runs between your 6th and 10th houses. Because the cycle restarts here, comparisons with last week are less useful than they will be in a fortnight. That part of the cycle is passing through your 5th house.
Love. Venus in your seventh house connects the day's warmth to partners, opponents and anyone you deal with one to one. Work. Mercury in your sixth house puts the day's thinking on work, routine, health and the small maintenance of a life.
Gemini — 4th house
With the Moon in your fourth house, home and family occupy more of the day's attention than the schedule allows for. The Moon in Virgo turns feeling into a list of things to correct. For Gemini that lands in home, family, roots and private ground. For this stretch of the year the Sun sits in your fourth house, so home, family, roots and private ground is where the light falls. The Sun and Mars at a sextile make the connection between their two areas simpler than usual. Counted from Gemini that runs between your 4th and 2nd houses. Mercury trine Pluto is the smoothest angle there is, which also makes it easy to waste. Counted from Gemini that runs between your 5th and 9th houses. This is day zero of a twenty-nine-and-a-half-day sequence, and day zero is mostly preparation. That part of the cycle is passing through your 4th house.

For Cancer that lands in conversation, short trips, siblings and daily information. The Sun is in your third house this month, which keeps conversation, short trips, siblings and daily information lit for another few weeks. Mars at sixty degrees from the Sun is a mild aspect, easy to overlook precisely because it creates no friction at all. Counted from Cancer that runs between your 3rd and 1st houses. Where Mercury and Pluto are trine, their two areas cooperate by default, which is pleasant and very easily squandered. Counted from Cancer that runs between your 4th and 8th houses. Astronomers call it the dark of the Moon, a two-or-three-day window when the lunar disc is lost in solar glare. That part of the cycle is passing through your 3rd house.

Leo — 2nd house

For Leo that lands in money, possessions and what you consider yours. The Sun moving through your second house puts money, possessions and what you consider yours at the centre of the current month.

For Virgo that lands in your own bearing, appearance and the first move. With the Sun in your first house, your own bearing, appearance and the first move is the season's standing subject rather than today's.

Mercury trine Pluto spans a third of the circle, and a third of the circle is the one distance at which nothing catches. Counted from Virgo that runs between your 2nd and 6th houses.

Mercury trine Pluto is the smoothest angle there is, which also makes it easy to waste. Counted from Scorpio that runs between your 12th and 4th houses.
