I think we will deal with a little folklore today. I run across some that are very fascinating. I hope you enjoy them, the way I do!

 You Are Getting old when…

You know you’re getting older when…

Everything that works hurts, and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work.

You feel like the morning after, and you haven’t been anywhere.

Your little black book only contains names ending in M.D.

Your children are beginning to look middle-aged.

Your mind makes contracts your body can’t keep.

You look forward to a dull evening.

Your knees buckle and your belt won’t.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.

You know all the answers, but nobody asks the questions.

Aha! Jokes

We aren’t very sentimental today as the Moon’s visit to earthy Capricorn encourages us to control our feelings. Our emotional experiences are less important now than our social and cultural worlds since Capricorn’s ambitious nature doesn’t have time for nostalgia. We can’t remain inactive because a powerful Moon-Mars square motivates us to get ahead. We become less attached to what happens after the Moon shifts into airy Aquarius at 6:38 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are caught between two different ways to manage the energy of your day. On one hand, you have work that must be completed and others are depending on you to follow through on your promises. On the other hand, you have your own desires that cannot be easily suppressed. Instead of trying to ignore your needs, do a balancing act between the two extremes. Don’t blow off your responsibilities, but be sure to schedule some time to explore your dreams, too.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You want meaningful connections with your peers now that the Moon is traveling through your 9th House of Higher Truth. However, it might help to find someone special who shares your goals. In spite of your high hopes, it’s not easy to let go of your relationship concerns, which could place unnecessary boundaries between you and a friend. Instead of allowing your fears to get in the way, be willing to talk about your feelings. Once the ice is broken, take the path that opens up in front of you.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Unchangeable circumstances prevent you from sharing everything that’s in your heart today, even if you want to take a relationship to the next level. Unfortunately, you must watch what you say now or you could create an uncomfortable situation. Keep in mind that there’s more time than you think to deliver your message. If you sense any awkward energy, just let it rest for a day or two before reactivating any kind of romantic pursuit. Timing is everything when it comes to matters of the heart.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Figuring out what to do is challenging today because your natural rhythms are disrupted by something that’s completely out of your control. Naturally, your self-confidence empowers you to find your way, but you must settle for less comfort than you normally prefer. Keep in mind that whatever occurs now is a small part of the larger shift that continues to unfold during the months ahead. Your positive attitude is key to your success.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if you’re sure you know what you want today, it’s still not easy to determine the most reliable way to get it. Your thoughts may be stuck on sweet pleasures that are hard to come by at this time. You might believe that everything will ultimately be okay in spite of your insecurities about how to proceed in your pursuit of happiness. Don’t be distracted by external circumstances now; instead, seek joy from within.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel pleased with your cautious approach to self-expression today. Your current obligations actually give you a solid framework of safety, establishing limits that are already being placed upon your time. Even if you long for something more spontaneous, it’s still easy to settle back into the emotional security of your predetermined schedule. It’s okay to wait until you are ready; there’s no need to rush the inevitable. Trust your intuition to tell you when the moment is right.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel as if you are on an emotional see-saw and are weary of the extremes that exist in your life. Obtaining what you want is fraught with delays these days as Mars continues its retrograde dance in your diplomatic sign. Unfortunately, jumping off a ride while it’s still in motion is significantly trickier than getting on it in the first place. Do everything necessary to keep your hopes and dreams alive, but proceed carefully so you don’t upset the current balance.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have ideas about what is possible now, but there are still so many hurdles to jump over before winning the race. You might actually succeed if you focus on your destination rather than taking a shortcut to avoid an unstable situation. Remember, setting ambitious goals is not problematic as long as you make certain that they are sufficiently supported by verifiable facts. It’s great to dream big but you still must do the work to make the magic happen.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The truth could precipitate a storm today, yet if it does, the results probably won’t be as bad as you think. Actually, this clearing of the air may be your big chance to see things as they are, rather than as you wish them to be. When your dreams diverge from reality, it’s crucial to know the details so you can make intelligent decisions. Pay extra attention to the little signs as you search for clues about what to do next.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Change is in the air, especially with the moody Moon back in your productive sign; however, circumstances beyond your control still make you nervous. Of course you want to stabilize your feelings, but there’s too many unrelated events happening simultaneously today. Instead of trying to do the impossible, take a deep breath and step back from the chaos. The energy will become more manageable once you give up the idea of being in charge of everything.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might wish you had more time to relax or meditate today but your busy schedule probably won’t allow it. You’re unable to stop your mind from spinning around and around in circles, leaving you with little time for anything else. Unfortunately, there is just too much going on now for you to ignore your responsibilities. Don’t be so hard on yourself if you can’t do everything; after all, you’re only human. Practicing self-acceptance is your best path to inner peace.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are eager to put your best foot forward today, but you continue to fall short of your own high expectations because you keep getting caught up in everyone else’s dramas. If you attempt to retreat, your friends grow concerned about your well-being — which, in turn, adds to the intensity you’re already trying to avoid. It’s tricky walking the fine line between feeling compassion for others and taking care of your own needs. Thankfully, a deeper stability is beginning to emerge if you simply let it happen.
