Herbs for Every Sun Sign

Herbs for Every Sun Sign

 

Herbs can be mixed and combined to produce a “recipe” that’s just right for each of us. Since the Sun sign you were born under has such an amazing influence on your health and well-being, using the herbs that correspond with that sign alone can be a tremendous help in times of stress or illness. Here’s a short list of herbs that seem to be tailor-made for each of the signs, due to their associations with both the planetary ruler and the positive qualities of that sign.
Aries – Mars
Allspice, basil, cayenne, garlic, ginger, mustard, onion, pepper.
It’s no secret that Aries is the astrological equivalent of a bullet.
It’s a red-hot burst of energy that’s capable of overcoming any
obstacle by charging straight for it. The ruler of Aries is Mars, the “red”
planet, the ancient god of war who was known for his equally fiery
temperament. No wonder, then, the herbs that correspond with your sign are also a bit “hot” to the taste. Use them in cooking to raise your
endorphins, the substance Mars loves best.

Taurus – Venus
Apple, apricot, blackberry, cherry, heather, hibiscus, raspberry, rose.
Taurus is the sign that’s fondest of the pleasures that life inside
these bodies can provide. Whether it’s a blazing sunset, a symphony by
Mozart, or a delicious meal, you folks are experts at enjoying the
physical delights of the senses. It’s no surprise that the herbs you’ll
enjoy most are the sweet ones, since your planet, Venus, is the
purveyor of sweetness. Use each of them to satisfy that sweet tooth.

Gemini – Mercury
Clover, eye bright, fennel, lemongrass, lemon verbena, marjoram, parsley.Your quick-witted, fleet-footed energy just loves variety – in fact, the expression “variety is the spice of life” was written with you in mind.
Each of these herbs provide a different type of taste, and most can be
combined in a light, aromatic tea you can sip on the run. Use clove or
slippery elm to protect against gossip and to keep your thoughts and
actions grounded.

Cancer – Moon
Aloe, lemon balm, chamomile, mimosa, lavender, lilac. Nurturing is your business, Cancer, and you distribute your soothing touch to one and all. There’s nothing you like better than a home that smells good, too, whether it’s because there’s something wonderful simmering on the stove, a vase of fresh flowers on the dining room table, or a warm, fragrant bubble bath waiting for you upstairs. Each of the herbs listed above are known for their ability to calm, heal, or bring a wonderful aroma to the environment. Use aloe to soothe burns and scrapes and chamomile for a wonderful bedtime tea.

Leo – Sun
Chicory, cinnamon, goldenseal, rosemary, St. John’s Wort, sandalwood.
Your planet is the Sun, Leo, the source of life and warmth that keeps
us all alive and provides us with the energy we need to keep pursuing our life’s quest. It makes perfect sense, then, that the bright, cheerful
sunflower would be the perfect representation of your equally bright
and happy sign. Herbs like golden seal and St. John’s Wort are tailor-made for you, too, since their ability to keep the body resistant to illness and depression are well known. Mix a bit of chicory with your morning coffee to help remove any obstacles that come up.

Virgo – Mercury
Caraway, dill, eyebright, horehound, lily of the valley, marjoram, savory.
Your quick-thinking meticulous sign likes nothing better than a mental
challenge, Virgo, whether it’s organizing a pile of papers at the
office, solving a puzzle, or learning a new skill. The herbs listed
above are all well known for their subtle abilities to strengthen the
mind, and many can be mixed together in teas to give you a boost you
often need at the end of a long day. The lily of the valley seems
perfect for you, too, with its subtle, “clean” scent and delicate flowers.

Libra – Venus
Catnip, passion flower, persimmon, rose, sugar cane, violet.
There’s no sign as fond of pleasing others as yours, Libra, whether it’s
by saying just the right thing to bring warring factions together, or by
using your polite charm to draw the object of your desires closer. Of
course, catnip is famous for its effects on our feline friends, but its
also traditionally used in conjunction with rose petals to bring loving
relationships that last forever. Since you’re ruled by Venus, you’re
capable of being every bit as sweet as the sugar cane – but if you need
a bit of help to attract a beloved, use this potent plant (sugar cane)
that’s long been used to conjure love – sweetly.

Scorpio – Pluto/Mars
Ginseng, dill, patchouli, pomegranate, saffron, vanilla.
As fond as you are of intensity and intimacy, Scorpio, it’s no wonder
the herbs you’ll love best are famous for their use in stirring up
passion. Drink ginseng tea (or offer some to your beloved) to induce a
magnetic physical attraction. Wear patchouli to arouse lust and silently
conjure the magic of the Beltane rituals. Present the object of your
desire with a pomegranate, the fruit traditionally associated with
seductive Pluto, your ruling planet.

Sagittarius – Jupiter
Anise, clove, fig, hyssop, mugwort, myrtle, nutmeg, rosemary, sage.
There’s no sign that hangs on to youth with more fervency and
determination than yours Sagittarius. To keep that youthful appearance
and disposition going as you travel the world in search of yet another
experience, drink a tea made of anise, rosemary, and Vervain. To aid in
making your dreams more prophetic than they already are, use mugwort. Burn clove incense to attract the wealth you’ll need to pay for your travels.

Capricorn – Saturn
comfrey, horsetail, mint, poppy, sassafras, woodruff. You’ve always been described as a very “focused” sign, Capricorn, intent on self-sufficiency and material success. The influence of your planet, Saturn, gives you the ambition and self-discipline to attain those goals, and to ensure success and prosperity in business matters, too. Each of the herbs mentioned above are known for their ability to attract that success, and most can be mixed together in a tea.

Aquarius – Uranus/Saturn
Anise, bittersweet, citron, dandelion, lemon verbena, rosemary, sage.
Your sign is a cerebral one, Aquarius, and your ability to turn “odd” or
eccentric ideas into strokes of genius is well known. Since
communication (and mass communication in particular) is your specialty, the herbs above are all associated with the air principle, which rules the intellectual side of life. To increase your already powerful
intuition, use citron, clover, or rosemary. Above all else, listen to
that intuition. It will seldom prove to be wrong.

Pisces – Neptune/Jupiter
Aloe, bay, cotton, eucalyptus, lavender, Norfolk Island pine, rue.
As the most sensitive and psychic of all signs, Pisces, yours is the one
that requires help to ward off the adverse thoughts and intentions of
others. Since you have no boundaries to keep you separate from others,
you also need protection against negative influences. To that end, use
rue, a powerful herb known to ward off ills of every kind. To stay
positive and healthy keep a lavender plant growing either outside or
inside your home.

Star Trails above Table Mountain

Explanation: Stars trail above and urban lights sprawl below in this moonlit nightscape from Cape Town, South Africa, planet Earth. The looming form of Table Mountain almost seems to hold terrestrial lights at bay while the stars circle the planet’s South Celestial Pole. This modern perspective on the natural night sky was captured in June 2014, the scene composed of over nine hundred, stacked 30 second exposures. The stunning result was chosen as the winner in the Against the Lights category, a selection from over 800 entries in The World at Night’s 2015 International Earth and Sky Photo Contest.

Daily Planet Tracker: Saturn in Scorpio, Now Until Sept., 17, 2015

 

 

Planet Tracker

Saturn in Scorpio

Now Until Sept 17, 2015

Saturn is the last planet visible to the naked eye. For millennia, it represented the limits of the solar system and came to symbolize time, structure and order. Saturn takes about 29 years to orbit the Sun, spending about two and a half years in each sign of the zodiac.

Saturn is the planet that says “no” but means “yes.” The no comes from Saturn showing us what isn’t working, sometimes in the form of frustrating blockages or delays. But these help us see where we need to put in effort to make concrete changes. Saturn says “yes” as the planet of crystallization that brings energy into matter. Saturn’s presence in a sign of the zodiac shows us where we are likely to meet limits and how to construct something useful.

Serious Saturn in survivalist Scorpio forces us to face the bottom line. Life and death, sex, power and our economic well being can be pushed to the limits during this two-year transit. Concentrating our efforts where they are most needed may require eliminating ideas, activities, objects or individuals that distract us from these essential tasks.

Take account of your desires, even the inappropriate ones. Knowing what you want helps you become a better negotiator in relationships. Being nice is, well, nice but doesn’t touch the depth of emotion associated with Scorpio. Partnerships grow when they are rooted in honesty, especially with ourselves. We can compromise in pursuit of our desires but if we don’t even know what they are, all we’re left with are manipulation and chance.

Getting the most out of our resources is another expression of Saturn in Scorpio. Scarcity could be a collective problem but, ideally, will lead to more efficient systems of production and distribution. Cleaning up toxins in the environment and within our bodies and minds are other healthy expressions of this transit.

How money is handled, especially involving insurance and debt, grows in importance with Saturn in Scorpio. There may be even more abuses in the financial world but that could be what it takes to make some significant reforms. Borrowing for well-defined purposes and with a realistic repayment schedule is an appropriate way to use this cycle.

Sexual repression is a dark side of Saturn in Scorpio. The AIDS epidemic was at a very high level in the early 80s, the last time this transit occurred. Responsibility for erotic inclinations doesn’t mean that they should be suppressed but rather that we deepen our understanding of them. Tantra, a form of sacred sexuality, teaches us about intimacy that is not possible when we deny this essential part of ourselves.

bw-othala

bw-othalaYour Rune For Today
Othala

Othala represents a solid, immovable home, prosperity and safety. Good fortune based on your heritage and character is yours to enjoy.

 

Additional information about Today’s Rune, Othala

 

OþILA: property

 

Phonetic equivalent: o

 

 

DIVINATORY MEANINGS: property, land, inheritance, home, permanence, legacy, synthesis, sense of belonging

 

MAGICAL USES: for acquiring land or property, to complete a project, to strengthen family ties

 

ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES: the nine worlds of Yggdrasil

 

ANALYSIS: In oþila, we find ourselves back in the seemingly mundane realm of wealth and property, just like the first rune, fehu. However, while cattle represented a more movable, transitory form of wealth, the land (as Mr. O’Hara said) is the only thing that lasts. It can be passed on as a legacy, but more importantly, it defines who we are by defining where we are. It is, ultimately, our home.

 

This rune brings us to the seventh cardinal point, which is the centre. It is the meeting place between Midgard and Asgard; between our Gods and us. It is the axis around which our lives revolve. The idea of land or property is only a symbol – we must all find our own “centre” (or, as Joseph Campbell termed it, our “bliss”) to give our lives meaning, and this is really the ultimate goal of the runic journey. Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we discover that after all our travels and adventures, we all eventually end up going home. But this doesn’t mean that the travels and adventures are pointless. On the contrary, it is only through those explorations that our ‘home’ or spiritual centre can have any real meaning for us. “There’s no place like home” of will have no power to send us there unless we come to truly understand what and where our home is to us. Conversely, none of lessons learned along the way can be of any real use to us unless we actively integrate them into our ‘mundane’ lives and find that centre point to anchor them to. Oþila not only completes the smaller cycle of the third aett, but also brings us back to the beginning of the fuþark itself, only on a higher level. We may now begin the grand cycle of the runic journey again.

Tarot 101: The Basics

Tarot 101: The Basics

A beginner’s guide to Tarot cards and how to use them

Tarotcom Staff

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of tarot, insight

So you want to explore Tarot, but you don’t know where to begin? You’re not alone. Many Tarot newbies find they are confused and intimidated when first learning the art of Tarot cards. With so many cards featuring such complex illustrations and mysterious interpretations, it’s not uncommon for beginners to feel a little frustrated. How does it work, and what the heck does it all mean? We’re here to help.

What is Tarot?

Like many forms of divination, Tarot cards are a tool to help you tap into your own intuition and the wisdom of the universal energy that guides your life. Tarot, which has origins in 14th century Europe, is not a form of fortune telling. It’s more like a mirror that reflects what is happening in your life at the moment. Tarot is able to tap into hidden thoughts, feelings and truths and bring them to the surface so you can use that information to make decisions about life, love, emotions, health, career and more.

About Tarot card decks

Most Tarot card decks consist of 78 Tarot cards broken into a Major Arcana (22 cards) and a Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards typically represent significant life events on a large scale, while the Minor Arcana cards deal with day-to-day life. The Minor Arcana includes four “suits” that each has a theme. Each suit is numbered one through 10, with four additional Court cards (Page, Knight, Queen and King).

Pentacles — Also referred to as “Disks” or “Coins,” cards in the Pentacles suit pertain to things in the material and physical world. Pentacles cards often indicate money matters, career and success, but they also can indicate levels of emotional and spiritual prosperity, too.

Wands — Sometimes called “Staffs,” the suit of Wands is more spiritual and is used to illustrate the energy of movement, growth and new beginnings. Wands represent ideas and innovation. They are often related to your career or your sense of purpose in the world, but they can deliver strong love messages, too. »

Cups — The suit of Cups is connected to our emotions and to our relationships, and to matters of the soul. Cups cards can reveal how we truly feel — and how others truly feel about us. They also speak of our emotional well-being.

Swords — The Swords cards are most associated with conflict and strife, which can refer to internal conflict, as well. Swords cut to the heart of a matter, revealing our greatest challenges. They can tell of illness, heartbreak, war, loss and death, but they can also reveal truths we need to face in order to move forward, which ultimately is a positive thing.

About Tarot spreads

Tarot cards are shuffled and laid out in any number of Tarot spreads. The best known spread is the 11-card Celtic Cross, but there are countless other Tarot spreads you can choose depending on what type of question you want to ask and how many cards you wish to draw.  If you want to start out very simply, you can draw just one card about a specific person or situation. In fact, your question doesn’t even need to be a question! It’s called an “open reading” when you simply think about a person or situation instead of asking a direct question — the cards will still provide insight.

Each position in a Tarot spread has its own significant meaning, just as every card has its own meaning. For example, your spread may feature positions for “past,” “present” and “future,” or for “possible outcome,” so it’s important to pay attention to the position in which each card turns up. A card speaking of heartbreak would surely mean something different if it turned up in the past instead of the future, right?

Laying out your Tarot cards

Once you’ve determined your Tarot spread, it’s customary to shuffle all 78 cards in the Tarot deck and cut the cards as many times as you like while thinking about your question. This allows your energy to interact with the energy of the cards to achieve the best results. It also helps if you do your reading in a peaceful and relaxed environment.

When you are done shuffling and feel the moment is right, speak your question out loud, then pull your first card from anywhere in the deck and lay it on the first position of your spread in the upright position. Do the same for the remaining cards until every card is in place. Now comes the hardest (and most fun!) part — figuring out how to interpret your Tarot reading.

How to read Tarot cards

Tarot beginners will likely need to refer to Tarot.com or to a Tarot reference book to find the meaning of each card in their spread. The illustrations on each card depict archetypes of the human experience, but they can also take on personal meaning for you.

Let’s take The Fool card, for example. This card features a happy young man gazing into the distance. He’s about to step off a cliff into the unknown as the Sun rises behind him, and he has a small knapsack of supplies. Now think about how this literal description of The Fool might be translated into an insightful message. The classic interpretation is that of a person at the beginning of something new — perhaps a new relationship or a life-changing adventure — and they should be feeling positive about it because they have everything they need to succeed.

See, doesn’t that make sense? Now you try. Begin by studying each card and the position it is in, write down notes about how the card makes you think and feel based on its imagery and symbolism, then look up the classic meaning and make a note about that, too. Once you have done this for all the cards in your spread, you’ll start to see a story developing — a story that’s all about you!

Cat Astrology: Traits by Zodiac Sign

Find your cat’s sign and learn more about their personality…

Tarotcom Staff

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of zodiac, astrology

 

Do you have a pretty kitty or a downright fat cat? Trust us, the cosmos affect your kitties’ personalities and moods just as much as they affects ours.

Look to your cat’s zodiac sign for clues to why your little beastie might be a lover … or a biter.

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Active Aries kitties love to chase and stalk prey, fired up by that go-go-go Aries energy. Naturally aggressive, Aries cats ain’t the cuddling type — but they will show affection by delivering you little “gifts” they’ve chased down. Reward them with some extra attention and playtime, and they may get so tuckered out they’ll actually sit on your lap for a spell!

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This kitty sure can haz cheeseburger! Pleasure loving Taurus cats are all about being indulged. They’ll eat every bit of kibble you put out — the stinky, wet kind is best — and then they’ll beg for your human scraps, too. When and if your Taurus kitty is full, they’ll plop their chubby little bodies on your lap for a purring and petting session that won’t be over until they meow it’s over, which might be never. Rub their full tummies, they’ll love it!

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Do you think you have just one cat? Not if it’s a Gemini, you don’t. Twin kitties pack personality for two, and they may well be responsilble for the reputation cats have of being super spazzy. After all, spring is baby kitten season, so more cats are Gemini than any other zodiac sign. Expect your Gemini cat to communicate with you well — they’ll have an entire language of meows to let you know when they’re hungry, when they want to play or when they want you to wake up and entertain them at, like, 4 a.m. Active, curious and mischievous, don’t be surprised if your Gemini kitty steals your jewelry or takes things out of your purse just for the fun of it, then looks at you innocently with a meow that’s says “What?”

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

When you hear of “scaredy cats,” they’re most likely talking about sensitive Cancer felines. Sweet, quiet and affectionate Cancer cats prefer a serene environment, and noise rattles their nerves. Cancer cats are most protective of their family — whether it’s their kittens or YOU — and they’ll follow you around lovingly just waiting to be pet or to give you a little lick. If you can’t find your Cancer kitty when he or she isn’t following you around, look under the bed or in the closet — sometimes they just need to hide away for some peace and quiet, but they’ll crawl back out for lovin’ soon enough.

 

 

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

I am kitty, hear me roar! Your loving little Leos are the most attention demanding cats of the zodiac, and as such they need to be pampered and lavished with lots of love and toys or they will turn on you fast. Living with a Leo cat is highly dramatic — they’ll prance around the house looking for attention, and the rest of the time they’ll lounge about waiting for you to turn up to serve them like royalty. And if you don’t pay enough attention, watch out — little Leo will punish you by peeing on the bed or clawing your new sofa. Then you’ll be the one roaring!

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Cats who are finnicky are most likely Virgos, and you’ve got your hands full trying to please them. If you don’t, they’ll wimper and bite and hiss to let you know they’re mad. But it’s actually not that difficult to make a Virgo kitty happy. Just be sure to buy their favorite food every time, and keep their litter box and dishes clean. They’ll reward you by doing the same — they’re very tidy eaters and love to keep themselves clean — so if you like a tidy home then Virgo cat’s for you!

 

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Hello, pretty kitty! Ruled by Venus, planet of beauty, your Libra kitty likely has the prettiest eyes and gorgeous, silkly fur. Libra kitty will spend lots of time preening, and even more time socializing — so be sure your Libra kitty isn’t an only cat. Libra kitties need companionship, so adopt another cat (preferably a compatible Gemini kitty) that can keep them company as they play, wrestle and preen each other when you’re not home. And when you are home, go ahead and invite lots of people over. Libra kitty will greet them all, and loves the attention from your guests.

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You know that black cat that shows up on Halloween, following the witch and sneaking around in the night? That’s your typical dark, mysterious Scorpio cat, for sure. Scorpio kitty is intense — fiesty, unpredictable and vengeful, especially if you make them jealous by petting another cat. Scorpio kitty can be full of love one minute, then quick to hiss the next — and sometimes you won’t even know why. Secretive Scorpio cats love to hide from you when you call almost as much as they love hiding things from you — like burying a dead mouse in the back of your closet or stealing your keys so you can’t leave them alone at home.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

You know those cats who disappear for days, then turn up again looking slightly worse for the wear? That’s your typical Sagittarius adventure cat, always wandering around looking for excitement. Sag kitties love to roam and explore, even if it puts them in harm’s way — so perhaps finding a safe outdoor enclosure for your kitty would be the best compromise for their sense of adventure and safety. It’ll also help keep your house cleaner, as Sagittarius cats are known for recklessly knocking things over and leaving a mess of toys in their wake.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Capricorn kitty knows who’s boss. Shy and serious, your Cap cat will express devotion to you and demand the same in return. Capricats won’t take no for an answer, either. They are diligent and determined to achieve their goals, so if you lock them out of the bedroom at night and they want to get in, you can expect to hear yowling and scratching at the door all night until you cave to their demands. And you will, cuz Cap kitty is persuasive like that.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Got yourself a quirky cat? You know, one of those crazy furballs who’s always getting tangled up in things or who has a strange taste for food that no other cat would eat? Well your kitty is probably an Aquarius, and all those crazy adventures are driven by Aquakitty’s combination of intelligence, independence and eccentricity. Aquarian cats can’t stand to feel bored, so you’ll want to keep them entertained. If you don’t, their natural curiosity could lead to trouble — um, you know what they say about curiosity and cats. Instead, try teaching them tricks, like how to fetch or jump on command. People say you can’t herd cats, but you could if they were all Aquarian.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Imaginative Pisces cats are an owner’s dream! Affectionate and happy, Pisces cats are usually a calm and peaceful influence in any household. They don’t demand too much attention because they have a vast internal world to keep them amused at all times, and they love to sleep a lot so they can chase mice and bugs in their dreams. Pisces cats also have the most psychic abilities, so when you’re having a rough day your Pisces kitty will intuitively understand and give you a great big love cuddle until you feel better.

Generally, you don’t feel very comfortable when things around you are scattered or up in the air, even if you’re feeling restless and in need of more mental stimulation than usual. As such, the steadier energy of the day is likely to suit you well. This can be a time when there is a pleasant clearing of the air, or an answer to a question that makes you feel stronger and more confident.

Gemini

Gemini

You are likely to be feeling playful but not necessarily very focused in the first half of the day, dear Gemini, after which you do a one-eighty. Perhaps you find your passion or become intensely involved in solving a problem now. It’s a strong time for finding solid answers where things have been unclear or up in the air, and this feels good. Concentration improves, although there is some tendency to focus more on flaws than on what’s working properly. Feeling on top of your practical affairs frees you up emotionally. It’s a good idea to clearly separate work and play now so that you can enjoy both more fully.

Cancer

Cancer

With both Mars and the Sun in your sign now, dear Cancer, you are likely to feel especially interested in making things happen, but without a focus, you can feel a little restless and possibly even aggravated at times. Today, however, conditions are generally supportive for your ability to concentrate and channel any excess energy into productive, satisfying activities. You could be in the position to support or defend people you care about today, or you might find that people in your life are stepping out of your way in order to let you take charge and get things done. Either way, you have a stronger sense of direction and purpose now.

Leo

Leo

People are especially aware of your competency and performance today, dear Leo, and the feedback is good, which motivates you to do even better. You could find that conditions are supportive for increased concentration, and that you’re especially disciplined. There can also be a feeling of general rapport with the people closest to you, or a sense that you’re on top of your domestic chores, which helps you to feel more confident about pursuing your own interests with fewer emotional distractions.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

There is steadiness to the day that is appealing to you right now, dear Virgo. There can also be a practical focus, even when you are socializing or in your leisure time, and you are likely to feel more purposeful and engaged as a result. Pay attention to what others are saying and sharing today, as there is a strong chance that you’ll learn of helpful ways to solve a problem in your life. Your responsibility and reliability can be appreciated and acknowledged now, and this serves to fuel your enthusiasm to be useful and helpful even further.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

The Moon finishes its transit of your sign early afternoon, dear Libra, after which emotions tend to settle. It’s easier to focus on your practical affairs as a result. This can in fact be a wonderful day for solving a problem on a practical, financial, or business level or for taking important steps towards fulfilling a responsibility that leaves you feeling more self-assured. You are noticing details that others may be overlooking.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

This can be a strong day for getting along with those in authority, dear Scorpio, or to be turned to as an authority on a matter. There can be support and encouragement for your efforts or insight, and others may appreciate you for your help or responsible attitude. Positive feedback and an unpressured sense that there is always room for improvement can leave you feeling pleasantly motivated and competent. There can be a book, idea, or other creative medium that inspires you and possibly even redirects you in a positive way.

Sagittarius 

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

While you may start off the day wanting to feel connected with others, dear Sagittarius, as the day progresses, there can be some desire to withdraw a little or work/function on your own. In fact, there is very good energy with you today for concentration, focus, and productivity, particularly through some level of solitude, as others may not be on the same wavelength and can very well slow you down. Even so, this is also a good time to have deeper, more probing conversations, or to look into a matter and research a topic more closely.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

This is a good day for seeking out answers to problems, dear Capricorn, as you’re quite likely to find very clever ones. Partnering can be successful and rewarding now. You might feel supported or recognized for your contributions or insight today. There can be a nice agreement made about a financial matter, or you could be feeling good about sharing values and visions with someone close to you today. Shortly after midday, you’re more inclined to seek out activities and people who make you feel relaxed and accepted, as the need to perform and achieve begins to wane.

Aquarius

Aquarius

You could be feeling more in charge, vital, and confident today, dear Aquarius, with a stronger sense of your goals and what you wish to accomplish. You are going your own way in your work or with your routines right now, and while you tend to have the support of others energetically speaking, you are more inclined to want to go about your business at your own pace. This can be a good day for solving a problem or coming up with a clever business or mechanical idea.

Pisces

Pisces

There can be a tendency to keep to yourself in the first half of the day, Pisces, after which you are feeling braver and more adventurous. You have a stronger need to express yourself and to experience life in a new way, however big or small that may be. Even so, you might consider working on a creative project or pursuing an adventure in a structured way, even if there is a craving for more freeform activities now, as there is strong energy for really making progress today. You may experience a healthy feeling of competition today – something or someone motivates you to push a little harder.

If You Were Born Today, June 25

You have an unusually strong, and to some, uncanny, sense of the needs or problems of others. You are an observer, and although very much a people lover, you frequently need your “space” in order to regroup. You often don’t speak about something until you’re quite certain you know what you’re going to say. Your intuition is outstanding – you need only learn to trust it. Famous people born today: Carly Simon, George Michael, George Orwell, Phyllis George, Chloe Webb.
