Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

The Hourglass

The Hourglass is a gentle reminder that time passes and with it goes opportunity.

The Hourglass urges us to make every second of our lives as rich and fulfilling as we possibly can.

As a daily card, The Hourglass suggest you may be allowing opportunities to pass you by. If you’ve been procrastinating or putting too much of your precious time into activities with no lasting value to you, now is the time for you redirect your energies into actions that will enrich your life.

 

 

Today’s Tarot Card for September 24 is The Chariot

The Chariot

This Tarot Deck: Art Nouveau

 

General Meaning:  Traditionally, the card usually entitled the Chariot points to a triumphal feeling of freedom, as if the charioteer is being paraded through the streets as a hero (or heroine). The card reflects congratulations for high achievement, and serves as a sign of empowerment.

Huge wheels and frisky steeds speed the rate at which the driver’s willpower can be realized. This kind of charge makes more of the world accessible to anyone ambitious enough to seize the Chariot’s reins. But there is danger in this feeling of freedom, because of the increased rate of change and its power to magnify mistakes in judgment. As a seasoned warrior, the Charioteer is called upon to be extra attentive to the way ahead.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, September 24

We start the day with specific goals and realistic plans to reach them, but everything seems to take longer than expected. We are willing to work harder for what we want now that the ambitious Capricorn Moon forms a dynamic square with taskmaster Saturn. Although our nerves may be on edge, patience is exactly what we need until the Moon shifts into ingenious Aquarius at 7:32 pm EDT, revealing inventive solutions to lingering problems.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This is quite a busy week for you, making it crucial to focus on the tasks you need to finish. But even if you try to keep your blinders on until you have made a dent in your list of things to do, other more disruptive forces are at work now. Accepting the distractions with a sense of humor reduces the stress. Nevertheless, extra concentration is needed today to keep you on track.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if someone is not being cooperative today, possibly with respect to your romantic inclinations. If you are in a relationship, your partner might seem distant, as if he or she is setting up roadblocks to intimacy. Don’t get too worked up about it; celebrate your cup being half full instead of complaining that it’s half empty. Ironically, the resistance could dissipate once you stop trying so hard to make everything perfect.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are concerned that you can’t pursue all the intriguing curiosities popping up in your life now because your time and efforts are limited by circumstances beyond your control. A demanding situation at work may prevent you from being as independent as you wish. Surprisingly, your calendar could open up once you resign yourself to meeting your current obligations.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your unfulfilled needs stand in the way of your satisfaction now, for it’s unlikely that others will give you everything that you want. If you are already in a close partnership, you may have to negotiate before you are taken seriously. But this isn’t as bad as it sounds because the real lesson is to learn what you can give to yourself. Clearly defining what you want from a relationship is a good start, but knowing how to fill in the gaps on your own is necessary.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It might appear as if your life is going to settle down for a bit, but this may be a premature hopeful conclusion. Although you see progress at work, there are unexpected twists and turns in the path ahead of you this week. Use your time wisely now to get ready for whatever you might run into later on. And, if others offer their assistance today, don’t let your pride get in the way of accepting help. Being gracious works well both in giving and receiving.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your current creativity probably originates from your desire to achieve and get ahead rather than bubbling up from the wellsprings of inspiration. You know what you want to accomplish and, luckily, you have the ability to transform your playful or romantic urges into serious practical manifestations. Whatever you do today, make sure that it’s done with a greater purpose in mind.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

An unexpected twist on the relationship path may not be such a problem now, since it’s probably helpful to release hidden tensions. However, you would prefer to sidestep a sticky issue in order to keep the peace. But even if you are trying to maintain stability, conflict could work its way into the picture. Nevertheless, don’t avoid an important discussion because honest communication is one of the primary ingredients of healthy change.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Two separate issues could arise now. First, you are redefining your own boundaries, even if this means a bit of self-imposed isolation. Secondly, a stream of revelations prevents you from feeling sorry for yourself. You may even be amused by the melodramatic soap opera of your life these days. This healthy attitude gives you the necessary detachment so you can withdraw for a while to facilitate your continued personal growth.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you are feeling critical of your friends today, examine your own behavior prior to making any false accusations. You may be uncharacteristically traditional now as you compare your values with those closest to you. But there’s no reason to judge anyone else, even if someone acts in an apparently irresponsible manner. Let others know where you stand, but don’t try to change them. Simply decide what’s valuable to you and then work for what you want.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A wave of uncertainty washes over you today but your tendency is to reinforce your walls to shut off the flow of the unknown. You could be scared that your whole world may be quickly destabilized if you acknowledge your lack of control. Just remember, the more you engage your irrational fears and express them to someone you trust, the greater the potential for positive change.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel as if someone is secretly trying to influence your behavior, and it’s difficult to know the best way to react to the situation. There are unknown pieces to the puzzle today and you cannot effectively fight an unseen enemy. Instead of lighting the fuse and picking up the pieces afterward, try holding on to familiar healthy routines now. The truth will come out soon enough, still leaving you with enough time to act once it does.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It seems like you’re being restrained from expressing yourself as freely as you wish today, yet this is likely more constructive than you realize. If you just say whatever is on your mind, you could end up offending someone who means a lot to you. Patience is your best friend now. Don’t make any sudden changes; move slowly and with great intent if you feel certain about someone or something special.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of September 24th

The heat is on this Thursday as amorous Venus in romantic Leo forms an energizing square with passionate Mars in Scorpio. This cosmic intensity can provoke risky behavior, especially with the impetuous Aries Full Moon occurring on Saturday night. Expect the unexpected; radical changes in relationships are almost impossible to avoid. Keep your heart open and embrace the unknown.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This dramatic week peaks with the Full Moon illuminating your independent and impulsive sign on Saturday night. Revolutionary Uranus adds a shocking flavor to this lunation which may spur you to act recklessly. This spontaneity might work well if you’re open to experimentation or want to break free of old habits. Restlessness and rebellion, though, can kick up explosive feelings that trigger dramatic changes in a partnership. Be honest and flexible in your approach so you can enjoy new experiences without being destructive in the process.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Surprises may come out of the blue with Saturday’s explosive Aries Full Moon lighting up your secretive 12th House of Privacy. Complicated feelings that you’ve hidden from others, maybe even from yourself, might suddenly surface. People seem unreliable now as attitudes and plans could change in an instant. Yet putting pressure on anyone is likely to backfire. Instead, allow yourself to accept strange emotional territory as if you were visiting a foreign country. Keep an open mind and be respectful to everyone you meet.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Friends could entice you to do some unusual things on Saturday with an adventuresome Aries Full Moon landing in your 11th House of Groups. If you’re not normally into joining organizations, though, this might be the time to see what one can do for your personal life. However, your desire to explain your experiences could be difficult to fulfill. It’s better to let loose and accept a little weirdness than to force yourself to make sense of emotions and people that don’t fit your usual reality.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Saturday’s Full Moon in impatient Aries is wired with hard aspects to volatile Uranus and provocative Pluto. This cosmic electricity occurs in your 10th House of Public Responsibility, making you feel like you have to put everything in order immediately. It’s healthier, though, to temporarily let go of your obligations than to try to control the behavior of others. If you can relax and enjoy the chaos, you might be surprised with how much fun it is to just go with the flow.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your weekend could be wild with an irrepressible Aries Full Moon shining in your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday. You may be restless and ready to run with radical Uranus opposing the radiant Sun. Whether you need to get away from the predictability of your current relationship or are single and seeking to stretch your horizons, breaking social rules and exploring unfamiliar territory is very appealing. Just remember this escapade is a test drive rather than a long-term commitment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Saturday’s fiery Aries Full Moon shocks your 8th House of Intimacy and rattles relationships in surprising ways. This may include a sudden attraction to someone who is far from your usual type. It might also indicate a breakthrough with your current partner that leads to a new kind of connection. Basically, it’s time to free yourself from worrying about what others think, allowing you more space to explore emotionally and physically.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

This may be a key week in your relationship life. Saturday’s electrifying Aries Full Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners and opposes the willful Sun in your sign. This volatility could attract unpredictable behavior by others, which can either be exciting or too weird for your taste. It’s better, though, for you to be the one who takes the initiative to break patterns and surprise people with a bolder and brasher approach to getting what and who you want.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Thursday and Friday are both sweet and sassy with high potential in the romance department. The spiritual and sensitive Pisces Moon occupies your amorous 5th House, inspiring fantasies about love. The best part is that you have the ability to make these dreams real now. Bold Venus in Leo tangles with passionate Mars in Scorpio on Thursday, making almost anything sound slightly seductive. Set aside time to make the most pleasurable use of these persuasive powers while you have the chance.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Saturday’s scintillating Aries Full Moon sets your 5th House of Romance on fire with desire. You’re itching for excitement and hungry for fresh forms of fun. Variety is the spice of your life so use your imagination to create new ways to play. You might shock some people with strange ideas or by coming on too strong. It may be hard to pace yourself now when you’ve got love on the brain, but a tiny bit of patience will help your cause in the long run.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your approach to love is often mature and tempered by common sense and practicality. However, that kind of rational reasoning may not work well this week. A Venus-Mars square on Thursday steams up relationships with a complex mix of mistrust and desire. The intensity grows stronger with Saturday’s explosive Aries Full Moon, making the ground tremble in your 4th House of Roots. Letting go of the past is the best way to ride this cosmic wave of change into a more exciting future.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The impulsive Aries Full Moon meets up with your revolutionary ruling planet Uranus on Saturday, triggering some unpredictable behavior and inspiring some weird conversations. You’re no stranger to unusual ideas and might find it amusing to hear some new outrageous ones, but it can be unsettling when the cautious folks start talking crazy. If it’s amusing, join the party but if it’s not that funny, just slip away to clear your mind.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon in your psychically sensitive sign gets feelings flowing on Thursday and Friday. It’s natural to be tender when you’re a Fish, yet a manipulative person might undermine your trust in relationships now. Recognizing the difference between sex and love can help you determine how far you’re willing to go to gain the affection of another. Just because you find it easy to sacrifice your interests for someone else’s pleasure doesn’t mean that you should do it. Being true to yourself is the first step to figuring out what to do next.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 24

Accomplish a lot of practical work under the logic-bearing aegis of Capricorn Moon. You can be a goodwill ambassador to friends and loved ones — thanks to a supportive, 60-degree tie from the Sun to Juno (9:25AM PDT). This favorable aspect can double in its urge to send you on a possible shopping spree since Juno’s archetypal presence links strongly with elegance, style and fashion.  Be on the lookout for the short void lunar uncertainty zone in Capricorn that occurs from 2:20PM PDT to 4:34PM PDT when the Moon enters service-oriented Aquarius. Group projects and team sports are always highlighted with the Moon transiting through the eleventh sign of the zodiac.  Your problem-solving skills and ability to strategize are enhanced with a fairly rare Sun-Pallas polarity from Libra to Aries (7:40PM PDT). Just a little over an hour later, you can crow to your heart’s content, in any of the arts, as the Moon makes a flowing trine to the Sun in air signs (8:58PM PDT).  Then — shortly thereafter and seemingly without warning (except for this mention in the Cosmic Calendar) — Mars comes back on the warpath by forming a frictional, 135-degree link with radical-change agent Uranus (11:44PM PDT). Mars interacting with Uranus in an aspect like this can equate with rapidly rising tensions, battles of the will, brash or egocentric behavior. Your job is to stay above the fray and be a force for calm and peaceful resolution of any and all conflicts
