General Horoscope
Love planet Venus enters discerning Virgo on Thursday, where she’ll remain until November 8. You’ll realize that love isn’t only about hearts, flowers and grand gestures of affection. Real love is found in the everyday boring stuff too. Things like your loved one scrubbing the stove after cooking you a lovely meal, or rubbing your feet after a stressful day at the office. Still, you might have to get through some romantic insecurity on Saturday when Venus squares off with Saturn. Perhaps you’ll try a little too hard to “earn your keep” in matters of the heart. Also, on Friday, Mercury will turn direct in partnership Libra. It’ll take a few days but you’ll soon realize that clarity is on the horizon regarding a relationship situation. Ah, at last!

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
You and your spouse or partner might have to overcome a difficult situation on Saturday that has to do with your domestic life. Perhaps the two of you can’t agree on a living arrangement. Or, it’s possible that one of your relatives is putting a wet blanket over your romance. You’ll have to address it. If single, after Friday you’ll have more support to initiate productive conversations with prospective dates. More important, you’ll be able to trust your judgment in matters of the heart.

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
Your love life will become more of a private affair after Thursday. Venus will enter the most hidden part of your chart — the 12th house — and remains there until November 8. During this stretch you might enjoy spending more time alone with your sweetheart rather than out and about in social events. Or, it’s possible that you’ll need to retreat away from everything in order to figure out what to do next in a romantic situation. Trust your gut. On Friday, Mercury turns direct in your sign and you’ll also be able to trust your decisions.

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
If you and a friend have an unspoken attraction for one another, after Thursday, it might become more difficult to ignore. The two of you may decide it’s time to be friends and lovers.

Conversations might occur behind the scenes between you and someone out in order to help clarify your feelings first. Then, by next week you’ll be ready to express all of those unspoken words to your pal.

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
You might not have been able to count on a friend’s advice lately when it comes to sorting out your love life. In fact, one of your pal’s might have only added to your confusion. If you have struggled with listening to your heart because it seems to scream the exact opposite of what a friend’s voice of reason has to say, this week that will change. Although well meaning, your friend shouldn’t have as much say in the outcome of your love life as he or she has had in the past.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
If you’re single, it’s possible that after Thursday, you’ll have an opportunity to explore a romantic connection with someone you feel a deep spiritual bond with. This person might also have a background that is quite different than your own. He or she may be from another country, or a different ethnicity than yourself. It’s also possible that this new love interest has religious or philosophical beliefs that fascinate you. You’ll want to expand your horizons and open your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
If you’re in a relationship, after Thursday, you and your partner might notice exciting developments connected to your joint finances. One of you might receive a wonderful bonus check or raise. It’s also possible that you’ll discover that an investment has paid off nicely and the two of you will be ready to celebrate your good fortune. Hold off on major expenditures though until after Saturday. You’ll be glad you did.

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
If you’re in a relationship then you can expect oodles of happiness! First, on Thursday, love planet Venus will enter your partnership sector where she’ll remain until November 8. You and someone close might make a commitment to one another, much to your delight. If you’re already hitched, you and your mate will enjoy an especially harmonious phase in your love connection. Then, on Friday, Mercury turns direct in the area of your chart ruling shared finances. If you and your partner have not been able to agree on a financial decision, a breakthrough is now possible.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 6th

Aries

Decisions can be difficult to make today, dear Aries. With dreamy Neptune in challenging aspect to your direct and assertive ruler, Mars, in general you could find that others are not exactly “getting” you, and energy levels can be up and down. This is largely about motivation. It can be quite difficult to stick to routine, including diet, as motivation seems lacking temporarily. Thinking can be foggy when it comes to practical matters, making it a poor day for business deals. Some of you could be feeling taken advantage of for all the services or support you provide others, and in definite need of time to yourself. If you’re stuck dealing with routine, add some creativity to the mix, and you’re likely to enjoy yourself more. Imaginative conversations can be rewarding as long as you’re not trying to lock something down; getting facts across clearly can be challenging right now.

Taurus

Energetically, the day can be up and down, dear Taurus, both on practical and social levels. There may be some form of disappointment on social or romantic levels, or you could be feeling temporarily demotivated or devitalized, finding it difficult to decide your next step in a relationship. It can be easy to both mislead and to be misled now, largely due to general indecision and possible errors of omission. Some of you could experience conflicting desires and urges, or a conflict between a personal and social pursuit. Because you’re a little more vulnerable and sensitive than usual, the dramas of others in your life could get to you, but you might also choose to be a mediator today, helping others make sense of confusing energies.

Gemini

Your ability to stick to monotonous jobs or tasks can decrease today, dear Gemini. If this is the case, it’s an important signal from the cosmos that you are in need of some time for recuperation on an emotional level. You could be dealing with social disillusionment today, as you could feel let down by a friend or colleague. A home project or family matter can hit a snag, and you can feel uninspired just for the time being. Whether to pursue a personal interest or a professional responsibility can be an issue today. Feeling less confident about your plans, goals, or ambitions is temporary but very real right now, and this is yet another sign that you need to refresh yourself. Find healthy ways to rest, escape, and renew your spirit.

Cancer

The Moon leaves your sign early morning, dear Cancer, and this tends to take away the urgency of filling emotional needs. Nevertheless, there may be some confusion surrounding your communications, or a new idea can be an issue that gnaws away at your steady mood. It can be hard to know what to believe, or you may feel temporarily uninspired about a recent project or endeavor. For some, there can be a feeling of being overwhelmed with what you need to learn or understand at this time, but it’s not a time for shrinking from a challenge, but rather to take a break and make some changes to your plans. If you have some doubts, ride them out and then make adjustments if need be, particularly on creative and imaginative levels, which now should be considered vital.

Leo

The Moon’s entry into your sign early today generally helps with emotional clarity, dear Leo, although it can also fuel your emotions, making things seem more challenging than they actually are, and today’s energies are tricky. Be especially vigilant if handling money today. You can be so passionate about moving forward on a project that you may be tempted to borrow from your future now, which may be cause for regret later on. It’s also a time to watch that you don’t become so distracted that you leave a bag behind while shopping or misplace an important item, as your head may be in the clouds right now. There may be some confusing signals with an intimate partner, or boundaries could be crossed now and you’re not sure how to deal with the situation. Allowing yourself a healthy escape from the routine can be appropriate and helpful now.

Virgo

The Moon enters your privacy sector, and the need to withdraw and rest up is strong. This is especially important with tricky aspects occurring today that reinforce a need for healthy forms of escape. It can be exhausting for you now as you try to discern between fact and fancy. Finding a middle ground is the key, but can be difficult today when all of the energy you’ve been feeling seems to evaporate and you feel sluggish. This is likely due to a feeling that you don’t know what or who to believe. Others can seem quite elusive. You may need to let go of the desire for others to be clear about their intentions, just for the time being. You may need to soften your approach or back off/down and step back a little, especially with a partner. In some cases, you may need to temporarily put your plans on hold in order to tend to someone else.

Libra

We’re likely to meet with ambiguous situations today, dear Libra, and there can be some uncertainty to deal with in both your work and social worlds. Even so, there can be new insight into an old problem, but overall, the day can challenge you in terms of goals and desires. It’s better not to make a big splash or jump to big conclusions today, as we can be so sensitive that we don’t see all the facts. There could be waning enthusiasm for a particular project, perhaps because you feel a little overwhelmed and lacking in direction, but this likely only means that you need to take a small break or find new sources of inspiration in the project. Aim for moderation today, as errors tend to be in the extremes right now.

Scorpio

It can be all too easy for a friend to rattle your cage these days, Scorpio, and perhaps especially so today. Imagination is powerful and maybe going a little too far at the moment. Someone could be trying to pull the wool over your eyes, but it is equally possible that you are seeing only what you want to see. Whichever the case, it’s important not to invest too much into what transpires today, as people in general may not be fully in touch with what they want, and mixed signals can be the result. A lover could do a temporary disappearing act, or there can be a lack of clarity in a relationship. Some of you could feel a little overwhelmed with a project, but it’s not the time to abandon something – it’s simply time for a rest and the chance to get into better touch with your true desires and needs.

Sagittarius

There can be some ambiguity surrounding work or family today, dear Sagittarius. Work matters can be somewhat stressful as you temporarily lose motivation or interest in what you’re doing, or you are hit with some feelings of insecurity and uncertainty. You may be discouraged if you haven’t come as far as you’d like in the pursuit of a particular goal. Even if you feel like you are only going through the motions, it’s important to keep to the task, as clarity is likely to come soon enough, and you don’t need to be dealing with lost time at that point. When duties are complete, find healthy escape routes. Consider ways to inject more imagination into your projects or goals and deal with issues surrounding the home or family life that are leaving you feeling insecure or guilty. A partner or friend can be the source of comfort and support today.

Capricorn

Confusing circumstances could surround communications today, dear Capricorn, as people don’t seem to be saying what they mean, or meaning what they say. While evasiveness can be frustrating, it might be better to avoid attempts to pin something down or to get a solid answer. There might be a struggle between a belief and the facts before you. Some of you could be feeling a little overwhelmed with a recent project or endeavor that you’ve taken on. This is a better day for finding healthy escape routes that feed a need for fantasy, adventure, and idealistic thinking, rather than for concentrating on more practical matters. Avoid putting hopes into information coming to you now, as you may not be seeing clearly, or there could be critical details missing. Instead, find alternate sources of enjoyment and inspiration temporarily until you regain your momentum. This is in fact a strong day for seeing a predicament in a new way, and perhaps for finding a lost item or the missing puzzle piece.

Aquarius

You crave peace and quiet today, dear Aquarius, and you might take special pleasure in your relationships and pleasing those closest to you with the Moon moving out of a practical sector and into your partnership zone this morning. Even so, there is considerably more sensitivity felt today, particularly to imbalances in your relationships, and this can lead to a desire for escape or it can be a real distraction from what you’re doing. Be more vigilant with money and sharing on all levels right now, as it’s hard to see things very clearly and boundaries can easily be crossed. Take care of your valuables, and consider ways to improve your life and relationships through more imagination, romance, and gentleness.

Pisces

You could be feeling pushed into a corner by a significant other in your life today, Pisces. Pushiness or aggression in others might be experienced now, and someone’s behavior or a relationship matter can be quite confusing. Of course, don’t put up with bullying, but do aim to be clear with your own intentions now, as your passivity or evasiveness might be stimulating conflict. Watch that you don’t go along with something just because it’s hard to say no. Also be careful not to hook yourself to something unless your heart is truly into it. However, when it comes to rethinking a business matter today, you can be quite on point. You seem to be much clearer on practical levels than you are on emotional/relationship matters today, but it’s still a good idea to wait until after Mercury’s retrograde (after the 9th) before making big commitments.
