Soak in the power of the Super Blood Wolf Moon with one of these simple rituals
Soak in the power of the Super Blood Wolf Moon with one of these simple rituals
If you haven’t already marked your calendar, then you may be unaware that a Super Blood Wolf Moon is on the horizon. Early in the morning on Monday, January 21st, we’ll watch the Full Wolf Moontake to the sky (look out for it on the 20th, as it reaches peak fullness just after midnight on Monday). This full moon is also a supermoon—meaning it will look bigger and brighter to us down here on Earth—andit’s a blood moon, a name given to a moon under the influence of a lunar eclipse, which turns it red due to Earth’s shadow. All this lunar activity is going to be intense, and, if put to good use, the energy available can positively propel us into the year ahead.
We’ve lined up a few rituals you can partake in during the Super Blood Wolf Moon, each designed to encourage you to reap all the rewards present during this lunar party.
You don’t have to be a practicing witch or even a believer in magic to partake in one or more of the below rituals. All you have to believe in is the ability to manifest goals, self-love, and of course, the power of the moon. Gather everything you need, sit under the light of the moon, and get ready to make 2019 the best year yet.
Take the day to be a Leo.
The Super Blood Wolf Moon takes place in Leo, a fire sign with a lot of energy and selfish tendencies. As Llewellyn’s Witches’ Datebook 2019tells us, “[The moon in Leo] draws emphasis to the self, to the central ideas or institutions, away from connections with others and emotional needs.”
Although Leos love to be around others and vibe off others’ energies, the moon rules our instincts and vulnerably, according to author Juliana McCarthy in The Stars Within You. Therefore, this full moon is a good time to turn Leo’s outgoingness inward and regain self-confidence, inner peace and balance, and love for yourself.
Of course, however you decide to give yourself some self-love is up to you. But, to get you brainstorming, we have a couple of ideas. You could first make yourself a Moon in Leo tea, using lemon rind and/or lemon balm, hyssop, and valerian root—all herbs connected to Leo. Or, invest in a Leo-inspired bath bomb. These ones from Etsy seller Little Rubis Magic Bath promote, “vitality, confidence, will power, and the dynamic energy associated with…the sun.”
Remind yourself of your best qualities by making a list in your daily planner or journal (somewhere sacred to you). Repeat a confidence-boosting mantra (I’m strong, beautiful, and worthy of everything positive in my life). Do the one thing that always makes you feel great about yourself—even if it’s just looking in the mirror and thinking, “Wow, I’m hot.”
Ask the moon to give you something you want.
Spells, rituals, and wishes are always more potent during a full moon. And the energy from the lunar eclipse and supermoon combined is really going to amp that potency up to level 10. Get your wishes in a row and get ready for them to come true.
Even if you’ve never cast a spell before, you can still use the moon’s power to help you make a wish. First, ensure you’re in a safe space and get comfortable. Next, some choose to shower before spellwork; however, washing your hands of impurities—both physical and spiritual—will do just fine. Make sure you have your materials with you before you begin, and then envision yourself being bathed in the bright, positive light of the moon (or, get your butt outside and actually bathe yourself in the moon).
Once you’ve established your sacred zone, write your wish on a piece of paper. You can incorporate colored pens and paper into this ritual depending on the wish—money wishes should be written in green, romantic wishes in pink or red, healing in blue, creativity in orange, and happiness in yellow.
As you write, picture the wish coming true. Manifest it in your mind. Sit with your wish for a minute or two and feel the emotions that occur when you think of it happening. Once you’re ready, either burn your wish paper (fire is the element connected with Leo), or keep it under your pillow until the next full moon.
Stitch together a charm bag.
To add fuel to your wish’s fire, work it into a charm. A charm is a magical tool you can create to carry with you throughout your day-to-day. They usually include herbs, crystals, dried flowers, feathers, and sometimes coins or candle wax, all stuffed within a pouch.
Get creative with your charm and keep it with you until your wish comes true, or indefinitely. When you’re crafting your charm, be picky about what you put in it. Choose ingredients that correspond with what the charm is meant to do. You’ll find the appropriate colors, herbs, crystals, etc. to work into your charm to make it potent and viable.
Take on your final werewolf form.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

Super Blood Wolf Moon Webcasts! How to Watch the 2019 Total Lunar Eclipse Online
Update for 3 a.m. EST, Jan. 21: The total lunar eclipse of 2019 has ended. See our full story here!See more photos here!Original Story: The total lunar eclipse of January 2019 promises to be a spectacle to behold, and may be visible to millions across North and South America, weather permitting. But if Mother Nature prevents you from seeing the moon marvel, fear not. You can always tune in to the “blood moon” on your favorite digital devices with some free webcasts.
On the night of Jan. 20, beginning just minutes after 10:30 p.m. EST (7:30 p.m. PST), the moon will noticeably, progressively get darker. The sun, the Earth and the moon will converge in an instance of perfect cosmic alignment to create a total lunar eclipse. The online observatory Slooh will host a free webcast on Slooh.com (you can sign up for a free account). We’ll simulcast that feed on Space.com’s homepage, courtesy of Slooh.
As the sun’s rays pass through Earth’s atmosphere, the light refracts. Blue light, which is visible during the daytime, gets scattered, and the red shades that accompany sunset and sunrise get cast into space. During the full moon phase, the lunar nearside is completely lit by the sun, because the moon passes over or under Earth’s shadow. But occasionally, the moon travels, partially or completely, through the planet’s copper-colored shadow, giving skywatchers a special treat. [Super Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse of 2019: A Complete Guide]
If weather, location or mobility concerns prevent you from watching the eclipse directly under a clear sky, don’t worry: Plenty of webcasts will broadcast the event.
The online telescope service Slooh will begin its coverageat 10:30 p.m. EST (7:30 p.m. PST). “We stream it live so that people from around the world, no matter their geographical location, can witness this phenomenon together,” Slooh’s resident astronomer, Paige Godfrey, said in a press statement. (This webcast will also appear on Space.com’s homepage.)
Godfrey and Slooh astronomer Paul Cox, plus Slooh storyteller Helen Avery, will discuss the science and cultural impact of lunar eclipses during the webcast.
The Exploratorium in San Francisco will provide live lunar eclipse Facebook, and this broadcast, like Slooh’s, will begin at 10:30 p.m. EST (0330 GMT/7:30 p.m. PST) as the moon moves into the darker region of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. “The Exploratorium will broadcast a telescope view of the moon live from Pier 15 on San Francisco’s Embarcadero,” museum representatives announced on the Exploratorium website. The museum will be closed during the broadcast.
The Virtual Telescope Project will work with astrophotographers watching the total lunar eclipse from the United States and Panama to deliver a live feed of the stunning event beginning at 10:30 p.m. EST (0330 GMT/7:30 p.m. PST). That project is a celestial-viewing service managed by Italian astronomer Gianluca Masi.
Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, located on the southern slope of Mount Hollywood, will also broadcast the event here, beginning when the moon rises on the West Coast, at about 8:10 p.m. EST (5:10 p.m. PST).
You can find a global map, interactive material and total lunar eclipse data on TimeandDate.com. The website will feature a livestream of its own, too. Check the Weather Channel app for another livestream, as well.

Here’s the Weather Forecast for the Super Blood Wolf Moon of 2019 Tonight!
Here’s the Weather Forecast for the Super Blood Wolf Moon of 2019 Tonight!
It’s time for the total lunar eclipse of 2019 and if you’re hoping to catch the amazing event, you better check your weather first. The National Weather Forecast for the lunar eclipse tonight (Jan. 20) is basically a coin toss for depending upon where you plan to be.
It appears that about half of the United States will have clear skies which will provide a good backdrop for observing tonight’s total lunar eclipse. For the rest of the nation, cloudiness will vary in degree from providing occasional views of the darkening moon to in other cases a complete shutout from viewing the sky show. Check out the weather map below to see what your conditions might be like. If bad weather prevents a live view, you can watch webcasts of the Super Blood Wolf Moon eclipse online. One webcast from Slooh.com will be simulcast on Space.com beginning at 10:30 p.m. EST (0330 GMT).
The best views can be found over the Piedmont and the Southeast U.S. coast, including Florida and much of the Deep South, as well as central and eastern Texas and a slice of the central Great Plains, where mainly clear weather is anticipated. [Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse of 2019: Complete Guide]
In the Eastern U.S., a major winter storm will be spinning just off the New England coast. Widespread cloudiness associated with this system will cover much of central and northern New England, as well upstate New York and parts of the Great Ohio Valley and the eastern Great Lakes.
However, a slot of drier and clearing skies will be progressing through the heavily populated “Northeast Corridor,” giving viewers in Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Providence and Boston hope of getting a view of tonight’s free sky show through retreating clouds. [How to Photograph the Super Blood Wolf Moon!]
One drawback for eclipse watchers in the Middle Atlantic and Northeast States will be the blustery, bitter winds and extreme cold that will be settling in behind the New England storm. In many locations at eclipse time the ambient air temperatures will be falling rapidly through the teens and single digits, while wind chill/feels like temperatures, will be in the subzero range. This will make for a rather uncomfortable situation, even if the sky is clear. John Bortle, a well-known and highly respected celestial observer of comets and other sky objects is not looking forward to braving the frigid elements. He writes:
“The prevailing conditions will hardly be conducive to hanging around outside and observing. Each forecast I watch seems to anticipate a lower temperature figure! The latest temperature range for my area is running close to zero degrees. At anything close to that cameras cease to operate and so do observers my age. That, plus the wind here is forecast to gust at 35-45 mph! YUCK!”
Mr. Bortle adds: “The eclipse could prove an event far more memorable for the prevailing weather conditions than the eclipse itself.”
Out West, a series of storms from the Pacific, will produce a large swath of broken-to-overcast skies that will cover much of California, the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains, Southwest Desert and the Northern and Central Great Plains, unfortunately denying a view of the eclipse for tens of millions of people.
To obtain the latest weather forecast, tailored specifically for your hometown, check this National Weather Service website: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/organization.php
You will find links to National Weather Service Forecast Offices across the United States, as well for Puerto Rico and American Samoa. Just locate your region and click on the weather office nearest to your location; you be able to get the latest weather outlook.
Where you plan to be, good luck and clear skies!

Why does moon in total eclipse look red?
Why does moon in total eclipse look red?
If Earth didn’t have an atmosphere, the moon would be dark – perhaps even invisible – when entirely eclipsed within Earth’s shadow.
During a lunar eclipse, you’ll see the Earth’s shadow creeping across the moon’s face. The shadow will appear dark, like a bite taken out of a cookie, until the shadow completely covers the moon. Then, during the breathtaking time of totality, the shadow on the moon’s face often suddenly changes. Instead of dark, it appears red. Why?
The reason stems from the air we breathe. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth lies directly between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth to cast its shadow on the moon. If Earth didn’t have an atmosphere, then, when the moon was entirely within Earth’s shadow, the moon would would appear black, perhaps even invisible.
Thanks to Earth’s atmosphere, what actually happens is much more subtle and beautiful.
Earth’s atmosphere extends about 50 miles (80 km) above Earth’s surface. During a total lunar eclipse, when the moon is submerged in Earth’s shadow, there is a circular ring around Earth – the ring of our atmosphere – through which the sun’s rays pass.
Sunlight is composed of a range of frequencies. As sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the green to violet portion of the light spectrum is, essentially, filtered out. This same effect, by the way, is what makes our sky blue during the day. Meanwhile, the reddish portion of the spectrum is least affected.
What’s more, when this reddish light first entered the atmosphere, it was bent (refracted) toward the Earth’s surface. It’s bent again when it exits on the other side of Earth. This double bending sends the reddish light onto the moon during a total lunar eclipse.
Depending on the conditions of our atmosphere at the time of the eclipse (dust, humidity, temperature and so on can all make a difference), the surviving light will illuminate the moon with a color that ranges from copper-colored to deep red.
In December 1992, not long after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, there was so much dust in Earth’s atmosphere that the totally eclipsed moon could barely be seen.
Can anyone know in advance how red the moon will appear during a total lunar eclipse? Not precisely. Before an eclipse takes place, you’ll often hear people speculating about it. That uncertainty is part of the fun of eclipses, so enjoy! And watch for the red moon during a lunar eclipse.
Bottom line: The moon can look red during a total lunar eclipse because of sunlight that’s filtered and refracted by Earth’s atmosphere.

The challenge of The Hermit card is to be able to recognize a teacher in a humble disguise. This font of mysterious knowledge will not make it easy for the student to acquire his wisdom, as it takes time and long contemplation to fathom what he knows. He often speaks wordlessly, or in ancient and barbaric tongues, communicating with the elements, animals, and nature herself.
While an hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit Tarot cards, more modern cards have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with nature.

Welcome to the week of January 21! Each week a card will be pulled for your zodiac sign, offering the guidance and insight needed to maximize your opportunities and avoid any obstacles headed your way. Reveal the message the Tarot has for YOU now!
Aries Tarotscope (March 21 – April 19)
Your card for the week: The High Priestess
The High Priestess is primarily a card about intuition. This week, you’re being called to work on your perceptive skills, so that you can fine-tune your ability to hear your inner voice and receive messages from your unconscious mind. Have you been out of balance in a certain area of your life? Are you unsure if you’re on the right path regarding a specific situation? This card is encouraging you connect with your internal wisdom, because the answer you’re seeking is already inside of you.
Taurus Tarotscope (April 20 – May 20)
Your card for the week: 10 of Swords
The 10 of Swords acknowledges you are going through a painful time right now. Perhaps you’ve been betrayed, or it could be you’re experiencing a period of things crashing down on you. These types of experiences are never pleasant to go through, but this week you’re being called to focus on the new beginning that this ending can make way for. Even though you may feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, take solace in the fact that there’s nowhere else to go but up. Remember, obstacles can be opportunities in disguise.
Gemini Tarotscope (May 21 – June 20)
Your card for the week: 5 of Cups
The 5 of Cups indicates you’ve been allowing yourself to wade in a sea of regret and disappointment. While the pain you’re feeling is very real and shouldn’t be minimized, it isn’t a free pass to stay stuck in this mode forever. By choosing to focus on your perceived failures or mistakes, you can’t see the positive things right in front of you, nor can you move on toward greener pastures. There’s still hope, and it’s important this week that you find where that hope is and shift your attention to that.
Cancer Tarotscope (June 21 – July 22)
Your card for the week: The Hermit
It’s time to take a break from your everyday life! The Hermit is indicating that you may have a need to withdraw and reflect this week. It could be that you’ve been immersed in many new experiences or spent much of your time recently socializing. Now it is necessary to go for a walk in the forest, take a long bath, book a weekend getaway, or anything else that helps you disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with your inner world. Recharging your spiritual batteries will help you reemerge with a renewed perspective.
Leo Tarotscope (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Your card for the week: Queen of Swords
Get ready to sit high upon your throne this week! The Queen of Swords is incredibly perceptive, embodying an intellectual sharpness and maturity that helps her tune out the noise of emotion and outside opinion. You could be facing a decision now or in the near future, and this card is serving as a reminder to rely on your logic and to look at all the facts before proceeding. You have an abundance of experience and wisdom that you can draw upon, so make sure to utilize it.
Virgo Tarotscope (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Your card for the week: 8 of Cups
This week you’re being called to separate yourself from a disappointing situation or unfulfilling relationship in your life. The 8 of Cups acknowledges that this split will be painful, especially since you’ve devoted so much time and energy into it. In fact, this could be one of the reasons you haven’t moved on already. Rather than focusing on what the situation could have been or hoping things will change, accept it for what it is. Remember, leaving will hurt you temporarily but staying could hurt you more in the long run.
Libra Tarotscope (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Your card for the week: 6 of Swords
This could be the week you finally release something that has been hanging over you for far too long. The 6 of Swords serves as a reminder that, although it may be difficult, sometimes we have no choice but to move on from a challenging situation. What have you been holding onto that has prevented you from creating a brighter future for yourself? Now is the time to let this go once and for all. This won’t be an easy task, but ultimately, it is the right thing to do.
Scorpio Tarotscope (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Your card for the week: 4 of Cups
The 4 of Cups signals that you have been feeling unfulfilled and craving some kind of change in your life. Perhaps you are looking around and seeing what others have, longing for those things that aren’t a part of your own life. It might also be that you feel unmotivated in your present circumstances. While it’s nice to aspire, it’s easy to get caught up in an unhealthy cycle of desire. This week try to address the root cause of these feelings. Is the grass really greener on the other side, or do you just need to spend time watering your own grass?
Sagittarius Tarotscope (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Your card for the week: 5 of Wands
Chaos, and conflict, and confusion … oh my! The 5 of Wands indicates you’ve been trying to work toward some type of goal but are being met with challenges that get in the way of your progress. Perhaps you feel as though your point of view is being challenged, or it could be you’re finding it difficult to work with a specific person. Either way, you’re being challenged this week to truly listen to others’ opinions. You might find that what initially seemed like criticism was actually constructive feedback that will help you in the long run.
Capricorn Tarotscope (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Your card for the week: 4 of Swords
Rest, reflect, and recover. That is the message the 4 of Swords has for you this week. You may have faced a difficult situation recently, such as the loss of a job, the ending of a relationship, or issues related to money. This matter took a lot out of you, and now you might be feeling mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually drained. Take some time to recuperate and recharge. It’s important to give yourself this opportunity to reactivate yourself — it helps you go back into the world with a rejuvenated spirit and a new perspective.
Aquarius Tarotscope (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Your card for the week: Ace of Swords
Your breakthrough moment has arrived! The Ace of Swords signals that the fog is lifting, and you have greater mental clarity this week. It may feel as though you’re viewing the world through a brand-new lens, one that helps you cut through the noise and get to the truth of the matter. Is a situation not what it seems? Has someone been deceiving you? Have you been deceiving yourself? You’re being handed an opportunity to clear the air and get to the heart of the matter.
Pisces Tarotscope (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Your card for the week: Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups indicates emotional maturity, compassion, and a nurturing spirit. This week you are being called to express this energy in some way. Perhaps a friend approaches you with relationship troubles, or it could be that a colleague is coming to you for support with a problem they’re facing. When this happens, listen from the heart as they speak but remain emotionally separated from the issue. While it may be tempting to dive head-first into the situation with them, understand that only they can work themselves out of their predicament.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 8 PM to 11 PM EST today (5 PM to 8 PM PST ). After that, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
What a difference a day makes! To make this a spectacular day, you might travel somewhere exciting. If you cannot travel, you can explore your own city or perhaps you can expand your world through learning something new?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Business and commerce are favoured today. You will benefit from the wealth of others because they will do favours for you or give you gifts or even money – obviously, this is an excellent day to ask a bank for a loan or mortgage. (Plus romance is hot!)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a lovely day for dealing with members of the public and hanging out with good friends and partners because everyone wants to see your face. They love you! Fair Venus and lucky Jupiter are lined up directly opposite your sign.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is an excellent day at work or for any task that you set yourself today. You feel strong and vigourous. What makes things really perfect is that you will get praise from coworkers and bosses today. In fact, some of you might get a raise. Oh yeah.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
When a fun, playful day! Make plans to party with people you love. Take a long lunch or perhaps play hooky? Join the gang for Happy Hour. Enjoy sports events, playful activities with children and anything to do with the arts and the entertainment world. Great day for a romantic date.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a fabulous day for real-estate negotiations. It’s also great day to entertain at home and enjoy warm relations with family. A relative might be generous to you today. Perhaps they will give you a gift or treat you to good food and drink. A truly feel-good day!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others because you are in a positive frame of mind and ironically, almost everyone you meet is likewise feeling friendly and upbeat. “Hail fellow, well met!” Great day for short trips and those who sell, promote, teach, act and write.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is an excellent day for business, commerce and finance. Look for ways to boost your income. Look for ways to make money. It’s true you might be a tad too optimistic; nevertheless, the gods are blessing you when it comes to money today! Ka-ching!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a lucky day! You might experience a sudden windfall or an unexpected advantage. Feel free to indulge yourself spend on something lavish and beautiful because your ruler Jupiter and Venus are lined up in your sign. People will seek out your company.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You have a warm feeling in your tummy today because life feels good. You are happy to be alive and grateful for who you are what you have. (Think of millions of people in this world who are suffering. It’s a sobering realization.) Gratitude is important.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
What a wonderful day to enjoy the company of others. Have fun with your best friends! You will also enjoy your interactions with clubs, groups and organizations because they will benefit you in some way. For some, a friend might become a lover. Oh my.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You look fabulous in the eyes of bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Anyone in a position of power will admire you today. You appear confident, successful and affluent (even if you’re broke). This gives you influence in the world! Use it!
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Jennifer Spence (1977) shares your birthday today. You are a multitalented person who is loving, caring and generous. You stand up for what is right! This is your year of harvest and major achievements because you are reaping the benefits of the last decade. You will taste power and leadership in all your relationships. Get going. Make it happen! It’s time to think success, power and money!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, January 21
Moon Alert
We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Supermoon in Leo peaks at 0:16 AM EST.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Yikes! Although the Moon is in your fellow Fire sign, which is good news; however, your ruler fiery Mars is at odds with stern Saturn. This means you feel blocked by bosses and parents. In fact, their comments might embody your worst fears about yourself. (Aaggghh!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
It’s very easy to question yourself today because you have a sense of internal inadequacy. (“I’m navel lint.”) It isn’t true. Lots of people feel this way today because of some tough energy. On top of which, the supermoon amps everyone’s feelings. Oy!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Tread carefully when dealing with friends and members of groups today because whatever you propose will probably be shot down. People feel cautious and careful today and today’s unusual Full Moon can amplify these feelings of fear. But this is just an illusion. (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You might find yourself at loggerheads when dealing with parents and bosses today. No matter what you suggest, they don’t approve. “Talk to the hand!” Knowing this ahead of time, fold your tent like the Arabs and wait for another day to make your pitch.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because they will go South in a New York minute. People are easily annoyed. They feel irritable and combative – if provoked. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Relax and enjoy this supermoon in your sign!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Squabbles about shared property or inheritances might arise today. For sure this is a poor day to have discussions about these matters including taxes, debt and insurance issues. Personalities will clash. Furthermore, authority figures will shut you down.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Be patient with partners and close friends today because squabbles will arise. You might chalk it up to the energy of the supermoon, but my money is on the fact that Mars and Saturn are at odds. Mars is aggressive and Saturn is immovable. Classic clash.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don’t make a big deal about things when dealing with coworkers today, especially if they make mistakes. So what? Big deal. You make mistakes, too – we all do. But today, people are so touchy, if you criticize them they will react! Your confidence might be shaky as well.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Squabbles with kids and lover’s quarrels are par for the course today. The way to deal with this is to smile and be patient. Patience is the antidote to anger. It doesn’t address the cause but it does address the symptom. Patience is your best friend today.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Avoid family quarrels today because they will likely occur. Steer clear of this possibility, especially with an authority figure in the family. Don’t even go there. Nevertheless, financial matters and dealings with shared property will come to a head today. Cope as best you can.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’re ready for bear today, which is why some people might run away from you. Be careful that you’re not coming on too strong or being too aggressive. Lighten up! Today the Full Moon is opposite your sign, which is an indication of tension with others. Stay mellow.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Squabbles about money or possessions are likely today. Avoid these if possible. It’s a strong Full Moon day, which means people are more excitable and more emotional about everything. Ideally, you want to keep a low profile. Chill out.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Singer/songwriter Emma Bunton (1976) shares your birthday today. You are an original thinker and a great communicator. Personally, you are fun-loving. This is your year of teaching and learning. What you learn this year will be crucial for your progress and success next year. This is an excellent year to explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are.

There’s no place like home! You are craving something extra comfy and cozy during this Lunar Eclipse in your 4th House of Home and Family.

If you’re searching for the one, be ready to receive someone new now! You’ve got a way with words and will be especially charming now, so your chances of finding that special someone are high.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
There’s nothing you appreciate more than some genuine love and support. When your loved ones aren’t offering to carry their share of the emotional weight, it can make you, well … crabby. While your job and money situation may be shining now, your partner may not be there to celebrate and support you in the way you expected. Or you may find you’re so caught up in new work opportunities that you’re blind to any love prospects who might try to approach you. Remember that there’s more to life than work. Don’t forget to nurture your loving relationships now, too.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Everyone around you better duck because your heart is about to burst open! This Lunar Eclipse in your sign has you eager to express your feelings to someone special — and, lucky for you, the feelings are mutual! Any fears you’ve had about shifting from an “I” to a “we” will melt away now. Whether you’re in a happily committed relationship or are on the hunt for that partner-to-be, you’ll be completely ready to commit and claim this identity. Things are coming together in a beautiful way now — and you deserve it.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Up and at ’em! This Lunar Eclipse will be a time of awakening for you. Experiencing a breakthrough, negative or positive, is rarely easy, so prepare yourself for the ground shaking energy that lies ahead. You’ll likely be ready to close a chapter in your life now. Whether you decide to say goodbye to a stage in your relationship, leave your partner completely, or move beyond your bachelor or bachelorette life in hopes of finding the one, this lunation will be a heavy hitter for you. Remember to focus on yourself, your desires, and what’s best for your future. Once you become the priority, any necessary changes won’t seem quite so scary.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Being the social butterfly that you are, this Lunar Eclipse in your 11th House of Friendship is bringing you just what you need! You’ll be acutely aware of your connections with others during this time. Take note of who you’re connecting with, who gives you butterflies, and who brings you down. It may be time to walk away from someone who doesn’t enrich your life. Or, you may find that your current relationship has started to look more like a business alliance. Don’t walk away, just make time for some frivolous fun together to reignite a playful spark! Single and feeling a sudden attraction to a friend? It may finally be time to explore something more…
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
You’ve been putting in long hours at the office and working overtime to climb that ladder of success. It’s been exhausting, but the reward will be so sweet. No, we’re not just talking about money and promotions. If you’re in a relationship, you’re about to get the support, praise, and celebration you deserve! Your honey has noticed your hard work wants you to feel recognized. Get ready for a nice dinner, bubble bath, or massage to relax and thank you. If you’re single, get out on the town! Not only do you deserve to celebrate your achievements, but you’ll have an air of authority and accomplishment around you that will be magnetic to any interested takers.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
You better sit down for this news. This lunation will be an eye-opening experiencing for you, and you might not like what you see. The thing that you value most in the world, your freedom, may seem like it’s shrinking away. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship or you’re still trying to find your soulmate, you’ll begin to realize the sacrifice you need to make in order to make your honey happy and build a healthy, functional relationship. While you might have a super cool partner who gives you your space, during this time you’ll understand that this person could be around … forever. Take this time to see why it’s so important to find someone you genuinely love and could cling to for eternity.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
It’s getting HOT in here! If you’ve been searching for a spark in your love life, this is your moment. This Lunar Eclipse in fiery Leo lands in your 8th House of Intimacy. If you’ve been struggling with intimacy in your partnership, this lunation can help get things back on track — or make you finally realize you two just don’t connect deeply. For those wanting to up their efforts: take your significant other out on a hot date, enjoy some deep conversation, light some candles, then take it to the bedroom and enjoy a night of passion! If you’re single and on the prowl, you are likely to have a strong, magnetic connection with someone now. While this can make for an incredible moment, it may be too much too soon and not built to last.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
This Lunar Eclipse is happening in your 7th House of Relationships, and it’s going to bring some major changes to your love life. If you’re teetering on the edge of a romantic shift already, then you might be able to predict what’s to come. For the rest of you, this jolt to may be incredibly positive or negative… Some of you will meet someone who makes your knees weak, or decide to go from casual to committed, or feel a sudden awakening with your partner. Unfortunately, others will feel the sting of rejection or separation. Allow hope and optimism to fill your heart now. Keep your chin up, but be prepared for anything.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
You’re getting tired. Love has been particularly exhausting lately, and during this Lunar Eclipse, you might just run out of romantic energy. For those of you in a relationship, you’ll be forced to analyze the balance of your partnership. Are you giving more than you’re taking? If the answer is yes, you’ll likely need to confront your partner and either work through it together or come to a conclusion. If you’re single, reaching the end of your rope could mean cutting off your efforts toward a specific object of your affection and turning your attention somewhere new. Regardless, make sure you’re prioritizing your health and happiness when it comes to love.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 21
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 21
Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer
From The Astrology Room
With the sun moving into analytical Aquarius and instigating a stunning full moon in Leo, we can begin to see beyond the depths of winter to the gradual increase in daylight and the romantic change we seek.
But not all of us like change, nor seek it. Some, usually the more cautious, so-called ‘fixed’ signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, prefer to stick to the tried and trusted. They require order in their life, or need to control or be sure the steps they are taking are the right ones. So this week, if you are one of those signs, or your partner or lover is, remember that changing your attitude to change itself is the best remedy right now for getting exactly what you want, when you want it.
ARIES
Right now, anything can be sorted out, within reason, particularly personal goals. But it’s hardly surprising you feel pressured by other people’s stress. With an enterprising attitude to your own lifestyle and the way you’re going to live it from now on, focus on your love goals, say no to compromise, and say yes to a boost of self-worth.
TAURUS
You have a renewed passion for all you’re about to achieve. In fact, you’ve become totally aware of your talents and ready to unleash them on loved ones. Remember, whoever we are, whatever we think ourselves to be, we can never escape ourselves. Right now, the cosmic energy is giving you a very clear mirror of who you really are.
GEMINI
For a long time now, something inside you has been saying, ‘anything for an easy life,’ but there’s a teeny bit of you which longs for more excitement or just someone to smile at you in ’that special way’. So this week, it’s time to make a wish. A wish that you know will change your life for the better. Remember, what comes true is usually that which we truly believe in.
CANCER
Those things we long for are actually the very things we can learn to develop in our own love life. For example, if you envy those who appear to have stable relationships, it’s likely that deep down inside, you need to unleash your sensible side. Time to bravely change your attitude and you change your relationship for the better.
LEO
With the full moon in your own sign, and with so much focus on making new decisions, you’re ready to be more expressive to loved ones than you’ve ever been before. One minute you want to give more of your time to your career, then, the next minute, you feel ready to settle down in the countryside. It’s time to be true to your desires and make the right choice.
VIRGO
Dreaming about what you can do in a love relationship is one thing, but you’ve also realised you have to communicate it all too. You may feel regrets from the past overcoming you again, and you may sort of feel as if you just don’t seem to get your message across. But from the end of this week, you can. Then it’s time to be a bit of a brave and true heart and discuss your feelings openly.
LIBRA
With the sun moving into fellow air-sign, Aquarius, it’s hardly surprising you’re fired up for all kinds of romantic action. Just take care you don’t miss out on new love, or the revival of an extraordinary affair. Re-open the intuitive channels, tune into the moods around you, and make a very life-enhancing choice.
SCORPIO
Fixed sign or not, deep down in your soul, you know that if your life gets too routine, you’ll only end up rebelling. So get out and about with your lover or partner, plan future changes, travel or new projects. Now’s the time to get out of a rut fast, especially when the sensual side of you seeks liberation.
SAGITTARIUS
Think carefully about what you are feeling now. Are you ready to leap into new action, or to take a romantic opportunity that comes you way? And if so, are you happy to pay the price? It could be an expensive few months ahead, but the investment will soon be worthwhile.
CAPRICORN
There is a side to you which yearns for an unconventional love life, or maybe total independence. But there is also a part of you which needs to live like others too. Whether single or attached, this is giving you much food for thought. Drop the ideals, it’s time to trust in the kind of love that brings you back to reality.
AQUARIUS
With the sun in your sign and a full moon in your love angle, it’s hardly surprising you’re in the mood for romance. Use this empowering creative force to strengthen your own sense of identity and make something real in your love life. Then you can be loved for the truly reliable person you actually are.
PISCES
How can you maintain a love relationship and still honour your personal freedom? Living together makes sense financially, and, of course, there are many other benefits. But the desire for a little more independence is getting to you. This week, you will be tested in your loyalty and desires, but in the weeks to come, you will know where your true path lies.
