Are you feeling drained these days?

Posted on May 17, 2013 by mistressofthemyst

Old Habits Dying Hard

Ch-ch-changes are happening during the month of May

Are you feeling drained these days? Yeah well, you’re not alone. I feel ya…

I’m extremely restless at times because I taste the imminent change in my world. It has a strangely exciting and even dangerous tang … kind of like metal on your tongue.  But if I’m being honest, for most of May I’ve felt exhausted. I don’t want to face the fall out that may accompany such change.

I know, I know. Join the club.

May is quite an unusual month astrologically when you consider that, sandwiched in between two eclipses — May 9 and May 25 — there’s the third of seven exact squares from Uranus to Pluto happening on May 20.

Total eclipse of the heart

Eclipse season alone can be unsettling. This time, we’ve had three eclipses which extends the unstable energy for us. The eclipses on the Scorpio/Taurus axis — April 25 and then May 9 — were really about letting go of our deeply entrenched habits that are based on what we think fulfills our physical security needs. It was about letting go and surrendering to what requires elimination … but we wrestled with this one. The May 9 Taurus Solar Eclipse suggested that we had a shot at something new, if we would only throw out that raggedy old security blanket first.

But that was the problem. Taurus likes security blankets.

Thankfully, Scorpio makes us realize that what Taurus thinks is security is only holding us back from deeper soul growth. Scorpio pointed out every last hole in Taurus’ security blanket. Then, adding insult to injury, he ripped them open even wider.

Believe or not, it gets more complicated with the May 25 Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. The Astrology around this one is downright bewildering. Decisions are confusing and difficult. Yet we remain hopeful about turning the page in our lives because after all, Sagittarius holds fast to faith.

Lurking in the shadow of this Eclipse Season however, is the real astrological riptide … Uranus square Pluto. The fact that we receive an exact square on May 20 suggests that there’s no way we can escape the inevitable change the universe wants us to experience. Uranus to Pluto reminds us that breaking up patterns that are “old and better off dead” really need to happen. And it must happen now.

Ugh. Martini anyone?

It’s not just you

The bottom line is you’re going through it, I’m going through it … and the rest of the world is going through it. The ick factor you may feel will be directly related to any innate resistance to change you might have. And let’s face it … those fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius don’t like change very much. So if you have a strong fixed signature in your chart, the month of May is likely to feel a bit more uncomfortable.

To be honest, I kind of like May’s Astrology. Remember being a kid and going to the doctor for a needle or procedure? Ever have a doctor or nurse tell you something wasn’t going to hurt only to be writhing in pain seconds later? Don’t worry, May isn’t like that. May’s Astrology is telling you point blank that the more you resist the change you need to make, the more it will hurt.

So do yourself a favor. Lean in.

In May old habits must die. It’s up to you whether or not they’ll die hard.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 17th

Posted on May 17, 2013 by mistressofthemyst

To some extent, today is similar to last Sunday when the universe let up on its pressure-cooker approach to human affairs on our beleaguered planet in a solar system 26,000 light-years from the center of our galactic heart center. Instead of a Moon-Jupiter union — that occurred the morning of May 12 — we now have a supportive, 60-degree rapport from the lunar orb in Leo to giant Jupiter in Gemini (9:18AM PDT). Stay active and passionate about literary, publishing, educational and athletic pursuits.  The First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 28 degrees of Taurus and Leo at 9:36PM PDT) is a reminder to cut through apparent obstacles blocking your progress and to manage your business affairs with finesse. However, this solar-lunar square-off also begins a void-of-course uncertainty cycle that lasts until 2:34AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters meticulous Virgo.  In the meantime, start preparing for Monday May 20 when Part 3 (of a 7-Part Series of Uranus-Pluto square patterns) comes into manifestation. Anytime two of the three outer planets interact with one another, intense physical, emotional and mental fireworks are bound to explode around the world.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, May 16th

Posted on May 16, 2013 by mistressofthemyst

We may say what we feel today without taking the time to think about the consequences as the dramatic Leo Moon brings our emotions to the surface. Meanwhile, an anxious aspect from the stubborn Taurus Sun to shocking Uranus encourages impulsive decisions. However, the Sun also tensely aligns with relentless Pluto this evening, setting the stage for conflict. Honest communication brings original solutions, but not necessarily the ones we expect.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This isn’t a day for staying out of the spotlight. You might think that you will quietly play a supportive role for a loved one today, yet you won’t likely be able to contain your excitement long enough to complete your mission. There’s no need to apologize for being yourself … just be as kind as possible while still expressing your enthusiasm. Showing sensitivity to others makes it difficult for anyone to stay mad at you for very long.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Someone close to you may expect you to set aside your needs today so you can assist your family or friends. Unfortunately, other people’s expectations are annoying because you can’t really see what you have to contribute and don’t want to be burdened with the extra responsibilities. Taking care of yourself is crucial, but try not to let anyone down more than necessary. Coming through for a loved one now could prove to be more rewarding than you expect.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

A minor move on your part today could be very significant to someone else. Others may misinterpret your behavior because of their own expectations and assumptions. Or, perhaps, your actions are actually misleading because you don’t want anyone to know what you’re really up to now. It’s wise to be honest about your boundaries up front so you don’t unintentionally alienate your allies. A simple explanation might be all that’s needed to clear the air.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might believe that clarity is returning because you’re ready to take initiative today, especially if you have been waiting for the right time. Unfortunately, something is lurking just beyond your perceptions and you can’t bring it into awareness. Nevertheless, following your heart makes much more sense than analyzing your next move. Don’t try to explain yourself — your actions will be enough to tell your story.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today may be an extremely social day, yet paradoxically you won’t likely be the center of attention. You are more interested in loving others now, rather than wanting to be loved. However, if you try to get recognition today, your scheme could backfire, causing you to regret a hastily executed plan. Nevertheless, being generous in spirit lets others shine and ultimately casts you in a favorable light.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are more effective working behind the scenes, but you might say something today that stirs the pot and puts you in the middle of a controversy. The problem is that you could accidentally reveal feelings that you meant to keep secret. There’s no need to be overly self-protective now because hiding your intentions only draws the spotlight closer to you. Find a way to express what’s on your mind without crossing any lines.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Life may become more exciting today, especially if others choose not to follow your script. Surprisingly, when someone acts in an unexpected manner, it frees you up and gives you room to be more creative. Instead of planning your day based on preconceived outcomes, make up scenarios where anything can happen. Your out-of-the-box approach could bring pleasing results if you just give it a chance.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You cannot escape from your life today, even if you just want to relax in solitude. You must get out and socialize with others, either for work or play. However, you won’t be satisfied with simple distractions … you want interactions with depth and meaning. Real happiness is within your reach now if you participate in activities that allow you to passionately engage life in a creative manner.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Visiting an old familiar haunt with a friend may sound like a good time today, but you’ll probably wander into uncharted territory pretty quickly. Discovering new places is particularly enticing now if you can share an adventure with a special companion. Pushing boundaries and stretching outside of your ordinary routine brings out your highest potential even if you’re on your own.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might attempt to withdraw from the noisy distractions at work today to focus on improving your health. Pay extra attention to your personal routine because whatever you do now has more consequences than you realize. If you have been considering a new exercise program, don’t wait a moment longer. Start immediately so you can feel better about yourself sooner than later.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Being physically active rejuvenates your body and mind. But it’s not enough just to think about doing something today … you have to actually get up and do it. Your anxiety could increase in the coming days as you face additional stress, so it’s wise to find playful ways to work off your excess energy now, before it reaches a tipping point. Having fun isn’t just an escape — it’s a proactive way to improve your health.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There is a lot more happening in your life than anyone can see, but this is, in part, a result of how well you hide the truth today. Your current scheming isn’t about lying or even attempting to misrepresent the facts … it’s simply that you want more privacy now. There is nothing wrong with redefining boundaries if that is what you must do in order to feel secure at this time. Establishing a solid foundation is more important than worrying about how others might react

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, May 13th

Posted on May 13, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

If you tuned into this calendar yesterday, you know that the cosmos is very active right now. First of all, the long void lunar cycle in Gemini — that began on Sunday morning — ends at 2:58AM PDT when the Moon enters the sign of its natural abode, watery Cancer. Home and family issues are front and center. Residential clean-up campaigns are highlighted over the next 2+ days.  Think clearly to pad your bank account and insure your financial future as Vesta trines Saturn in water signs (3:53AM PDT). Another reason to have your mind operating logically and sensibly is that Mercury makes four alignments — an inspirational, 72-degree liaison to Chiron (10:03AM PDT), a frictional, 45-degree aspect to its higher-guardian planet Uranus (4:55PM PDT), and then two contacts with underworld-ruling Pluto, a contra-parallel and intense, 135-degree tie at 5:15PM PDT and 9:27PM PDT, respectively. Under these mercurial conditions, it is wise to expect the unexpected while also studying psychology and metaphysics to your heart’s content.  Your emotional state can rise or fall as Mars forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Neptune (10:44AM PDT) while Venus makes an abrasive square with the ancient, trident-armored God of the Seas (1:48PM PDT). Since many professional astrologers believe Neptune is the higher-guardian planet to Venus, their 90-degree encounter today can pack a wallop in the realms of feelings, artistic endeavors, and primary partnerships.  Come down from Cloud 9 in regard to a love or romantic interest. Be pragmatic concerning business pursuits, crafts and hobbies. Gardening, cooking and baking are in style.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, May 6th

Posted on May 6, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

We feel as if we must make a choice now, whether or not we are ready. Although the spontaneous Aries Moon provokes immediate action, we could choose unwisely if we forget to take our time before making promises we can’t keep. Additionally, the Moon’s harsh alignments with wild Uranus and passionate Pluto set us on an emotional roller coaster. It’s hard to settle our feelings down since needy Venus in stubborn Taurus stirs up even more stress.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s tempting to get swept up in a whirlwind of activity today because the impetuous Aries Moon kicks up a storm of energy. You might actually think you can do everything, but you cannot. Pay careful attention to your choices and scale back your agenda as needed or you’ll end up exhausting yourself. Be sensible — schedule your time in advance to prevent an unpleasant surprise later in the day. Following your heart can be exhilarating as long as you don’t go to extremes.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Unexpected events might upset your sense of reality, challenging you to maintain a pragmatic approach today. You are capable of making intelligent decisions, but you may have trouble keeping up with everything that’s happening. Prioritizing your goals is much easier if you take time to make a list. However, you still must be willing to modify your strategy as situations evolve. Taking a calculated risk now should bring positive results if you weigh all your options in advance.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may want to have fun with your coworkers and friends today, but you should stand back and reevaluate your priorities before making any promises. Don’t ignore your responsibilities for the sake of pleasure, even if you are pulled in opposite directions. Take the high road now instead of trying to rationalize reckless behavior. Rather than chasing a fleeting moment of excitement, consider the possibilities from a spiritual perspective before you decide what to do next.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s climb into your 10th House of Status encourages you to take care of business by nurturing others, but an inner voice demands more from you now. Although you want to feel the adrenaline rush, even if it comes from conflict, extreme emotional reactions aren’t what you need. Nevertheless, you’re tempted to take a chance, anyhow. Find a way to express your excitement without placing anyone in danger, including yourself. In fact, putting your passion into your work is the fastest way to achieve success.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your 9th House of Big Ideas prompts you to make plans that are larger than life. Although you must balance your lofty goals with earthly concerns, you don’t have to rein yourself in. Go ahead and reach out beyond your comfort zone. However, you’ll probably be disappointed if you expect a miracle to happen in one day. Stretching past your usual limits today produces positive results, giving you a much-needed boost of confidence.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Normally, you’re an expert at making small adjustments to your life, but now you are being called on to make a larger change. Your need for perfection may be totally aggravating if the desired goal remains elusive. One simple solution to your anxiety stems from a willingness to graciously relinquish control. You can overcome the frustration and begin to relax once you accept the current circumstances. Transformation is possible if you choose to embrace the unknown.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re on a journey to restore balance in your world and today might bring the birth of your new purpose. Unfortunately, the current uncertainties are not letting your mind rest. You could blast forward into something completely new, yet you still struggle to let down your protective walls. Harmony continues to be elusive, but you feel better now if you simply moderate the extremes. Take time out for a walk in nature or a quiet meditation at home. Creating a peaceful state of mind is the first step to opening your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are excited by a potential shake-up to your regular work routine and might be eager to jump in with full force. Unfortunately, you may end up wishing that you hadn’t moved so fast. However, there’s no way to go back now if you already committed to a project. Still, you could try and remember to take the next one a little slower. Ultimately, you are in control and can alter the pace of your day in a creative way that works to your advantage.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Waves of excitement inspire you to do something crazy since the energetic Aries Moon fires you up for something extraordinary. However, you’re also feeling a bit cautious because you don’t want to jeopardize your recent gains. You’re best served today by exercising a touch of self-restraint. Making proper preparations at the beginning of your journey increases your chances of reaching your destination in record time.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You intend to demonstrate your maturity, but you might not be able to deny your impulse to break free today. You can’t bear the idea of having to work while being excluded from an exhilarating activity. Go ahead and throw caution to the wind and do what sounds exciting. Follow your heart while you can; thankfully, your temporary rebellion won’t delay success. Most likely you’ll still need to change your plans again when the instability of the moment passes.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are tempted by new and different activities that can break you out of the drudgery of your daily routine. The feisty Aries Moon hooks up with radical Uranus today, daring you to go over the edge to prove your independence. If you maintain the status quo, you’ll probably end up wishing that you had the courage to give up control. But if you surrender to your urges, you might regret your foolish behavior. Whatever you choose, accept your current decision as the best one you could make in this moment.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are eager to begin a new project today, but it’s more constructive to concentrate on something you already started. Nevertheless, it’s challenging to find a rhythm that enables you to sustain your current effort. Although your irregular pace could annoy others, you might do better if you alter your speed throughout the day. Don’t worry about public opinion. Just focus on being as productive as possible and the rest will follow.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 6th

Posted on May 6, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

The first work-oriented Monday of the month may have a few tricks up its sleeve. Venus being so active yesterday could have given you a false sense of security that a soothing calm was on its way. However, while Venus is usually — in its own, inherent nature a beneficial celestial force — its intense aspects with other planets can equate with a rising tide of emotional stress.  On Sunday, Venus formed two favorable and two challenging alignments. Now this traditional planet of love, romance, beauty and attraction (including monetary resources) is in league with sometimes unscrupulous, underworld-ruling Pluto via an intense, 135-degree tie (10:44AM PDT). Pushing any ambiguous or self-centered business plan is likely to fail.  Be ready for surprises and the unknown coming out of left field as the Moon makes its monthly union with Uranus in Aries (1:58PM PDT). While this lunar connection with revolutionary Uranus may be hard to handle, it can also encourage you to study advances in the realms of science, astrology, and metaphysics.  Productivity in your main fields of expertise can soar this evening — courtesy of a supportive, 60-degree alliance from Mercury to Ceres (7:00PM PDT) and a harmonious trine from Mercury to Pluto in earth signs (11:35PM PDT).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 5th

Posted on May 5, 2013 by ladyoftheabyss

Like yesterday, this first Sunday in May has a checkered reality — part auspicious and part discordant. Pressing your luck or forcing anyone to do your bidding will boomerang early on as Mercury forms its annual opposition to Saturn (4:14AM PDT). Drop business worries like a hot potato.  Fortunately, there is a window for opportunity in the arts, healing realm and concerning feminine issues as Venus forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Chiron (7:18AM PDT) followed by a supportive, 60-degree liaison from the Moon in Pisces with Venus in Taurus (9:01AM PDT). However, this is likely to be short-term hoopla and rejoicing since this latter Moon-Venus rapport starts a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 6:04PM PDT.  If your productivity I.Q. feels stagnant, chalk it up to an abrasive square between Ceres and unpredictable Uranus (11:31AM PDT). Despite the unsettled nature of any void Moon time-span, welcome physical and emotional vitality — coming from a flowing trine in earth signs by Mars and Pluto (2:30PM PDT). Moderate activity in sports and games is highlighted. Uncertainty is still on the march when Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Uranus (5:24PM PDT). Strive to keep your primary partnerships serene and tranquil.  The Moon leaves void status in Pisces when it enters the fire essence of zodiacal Aries (6:04PM PDT). This lunar entry immediately places developing your leadership credentials as a central theme over the next 2+ days. Really commune with the birds, trees and sky as you tweak a Venus-Ceres 45-degree aspect (7:38PM PDT) into surrendering its cryptic message about the magic of Mother Nature.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Apri 20t

Posted on April 20, 2013 by mistressofthemyst

Hurry up and slow down are the contradictory cosmic messages we receive today. Chatty Mercury joins shocking Uranus, encouraging us to speak before we have a plan. The Sun and Mars form anxious aspects with optimistic Jupiter in jumpy Gemini. But pushy Mars moves into plodding Taurus, motivating us to make steady progress instead of racing ahead of the pack. Additionally, the Moon shifts from expressive Leo into practical Virgo at 9:08 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You really don’t want to wait for others to catch up with you because yesterday’s anticipation has turned into today’s impatience. Although practicing self-restraint would ultimately work in your favor, quicksilver Mercury joins unpredictable Uranus in your sign … prompting you to announce that you’re ready to take the next step right away. Thankfully, your bark may be bigger than your bite. Sit tight for a few more days; taking the additional time to fine-tune your strategy greatly increases your chances for success.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You prefer to make a plan and stick to it, but now you’re likely to change your mind at the very last minute. You could receive an invitation to a social event that you might normally consider skipping. However, you’re eager for new experiences today and may agree to participate in festivities that are outside of your comfort zone. Enjoy the change of pace without having to justify any of your decisions.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet, Mercury, hooks up with brilliant Uranus in your 11th House of Dreams … provoking you to think about your future in a whole new light. You’re suddenly inspired to head off in an entirely different direction. But instead of completely tossing aside your previous plan, demonstrate your true genius by applying your innovative insights toward your established goals. Minimizing disruption now prevents complications from hijacking your day.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel anxious now because it’s difficult to stop thinking about the plethora of possible paths in front of you. There’s so much going on within your head that you can’t filter through all the noise to hear what’s really being said. However, the mental distractions can be a lot of fun if you’re willing to engage others in a playful manner. Trusting that your life is on track enables you to let go of control and fully enjoy each moment as it comes.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You probably think that your friends are acting weird today when they speak without considering the consequences of their words. Previously supportive allies could let you down because their indecisiveness leaves you in a difficult position. There’s no need to feel desperate now, so don’t overreact and lose your temper. Taking an unnecessary risk may not be as wise as it seems — be smart and concentrate on becoming more self-sufficient.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re itching to experiment with unconventional methods today, but a friend or partner may resist your efforts. Some of your outrageous ideas lead you on wild goose chases, but one brilliant thought might result in a real breakthrough now. Unfortunately, you cannot be certain that your plan will work until you test it, which could take quite a bit of time and energy. Thankfully, you don’t have to invent a better mousetrap because you can feel fulfilled by simply being more unorthodox in your approach to your daily routine.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t want any discord in your life, but believing that everything is perfect today could leave you feeling detached from reality. It may appear like everyone is having a lovely time, but this is not the entire picture now as anger lurks beneath a tranquil surface. It might be your turn to stir things up for a change. Don’t be afraid to express what you’re thinking. There’s no reason to say everything the same way you did yesterday as long as you remain kind.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Finally, you’re able to get back to the research that you recently had to set aside. Your mind is like a sharply honed razor today and your intuition is working like a finely tuned sonar. Don’t settle for traditional methods to locate the information you seek. Trust your inner voice, but don’t overreact to what you learn now. Although an extraordinary breakthrough can be temporarily unsettling, you’ll gain a sharper perspective on your future over the days ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Others often want to play with you because they know that you are usually up for an adventure. Although you’re looking forward to having fun, you may still find it difficult to kick back and relax as high-frequency static interferes with your senses today. It’s not easy to let down your guard now if you are also worrying about more serious global issues. Moderate your intensity by balancing the political picture with your individual needs so you can celebrate in the present moment.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You know that something significant is happening, yet you’re distracted by weird ideas that you can’t get out of your head. It’s easy to slip into an obsessive pattern by resisting the stream of radical thoughts that flow through your mind. But struggling against the mental currents is futile now and only amplifies the noise. Stop fighting with yourself and enjoy the ride, even if you are afraid of being too impractical. You can experience a new sense of freedom by simply letting go.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Inventive ideas are popping into your consciousness so fast that you may not be able to keep up with them. Your originality soars now as your key planet electric Uranus connects with clever Mercury. Don’t be overly concerned if loose ends are unraveling all over the place. Coloring outside of the lines is a symptom of your wild inspiration. You will have plenty of time in the next few weeks to clean up the mess and polish your plans.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s ingenious Mercury-Uranus conjunction strikes in your 2nd House of Resources, but it’s challenging to make practical use of your current brilliance. Nevertheless, new concepts wake you up in such a way that you begin to see everything in a different light. But don’t expect anyone else to rush in and support your unconventional plans right away. Your allies will come around to appreciate your point of view once they see lasting results.
