General Description:
The staff of Mercury was given to him by Apollo in exchange for the lyre. The rod was endowed with the remarkable power of deciding all quarrels and bestowing wonderful eloquence upon its possessor. Mercury proved this when he saw two serpents fighting. Placing the rod between them and using his eloquence he reconciled the serpents, who then embraced each other, and becoming attached to the rod formed the caduceus. The pine cone is credited with health giving power, and the wings symbolize speed and the flight of thoughts between friends. This ancient talisman was supposed to be a charm of prosperity, rendering its possessor healthy, wealthy and wise.

If Today is Your Birthday: June 9

You possess considerable personal power, charisma, and determination. You have a magnetic personality with a flair for the dramatic. While sensitive and considerate, you are also very strong-willed and not one to be controlled or directed. It is quite likely that you will achieve financial success.

Famous people born today: Les Paul, Jackie Mason, Michael J. Fox, Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman, Cole Porter.

Your Birthday Year Forecast

The Sun in a waxing sextile to the Moon in your Solar Return chart has a fortunate influence on your year ahead. You can be especially productive this year, as in many ways you are starting fresh, but you have a rather clear vision of what you want to accomplish. Your inner needs tend to be mirrored by external events, and vice versa, which helps to boost your confidence and happiness levels. You more readily accept that challenges are part of the natural cycle in life, which in turn helps you to meet them with confidence and to worry less. You are likely to be on top of your game this year for the most part, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. A comfortable level of personal popularity helps keep conflict to a minimum. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there will be less stress on both your mind and body.

This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.

There are likely to be quite a few doors opening for you this year. Negotiations, marriage, and business partnerships benefit. Artistic talent is emphasized this year, and respected – you can truly shine. You are motivated by the desire to strike a balance in your relationships and in your personal environment. Smooth negotiations with others are sought. You are more diplomatic and gracious this year. This is a good period in your life for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance.

There may be a project, idea, or person that demands much of your attention or occupies much of your thoughts. It’s a strong year for any project or studies that require concentrated effort. You are especially resourceful. You are willing to put in the effort and dedication to a mental interest or project. Business and promotional efforts can thrive. You can experience a strong desire to master a subject or deepen your knowledge and skillset.

However, watch for stress and tension this year. Good energy is with you for energetic mental work, but there can be an argumentative or easy on the trigger quality to you at times during this period that should be watched for. Be careful to avoid cutting words and aggressive driving, and watch for putting ideas into action too quickly.

When it comes to finances or romantic relationships, you may be faced with choices and the need to assess areas of your life that have been neglected or that have become wasteful. There may be some uncertainty in these areas of life at times, and the need to buckle down becomes clear. Spiritual, artistic, or musical endeavors can provide a welcome relief. Disappointments can lead to a stronger sense of reality and purpose.

Your unique manner of expressing and asserting yourself is in focus and appreciated this year. Suppressed anger is more effectively released in creative ways. Physical healing can help inner healing, and vice versa.

Saturn forms an opposition to your Sun in December 2016. Saturn calls upon you to identify the weaker areas of your life, and to fix or strengthen them. Take the time to sort out your life, improve your work, and to become more efficient. Taking a slow and steady approach to life is necessary now. Pushing too hard will likely lead to frustration and setbacks. Take it easy and work on self-improvement. Results are not immediate, but will eventually come and bring healthy rewards.

Relationships are in strong focus this year, and harmonizing with others especially important to you. Your charm and attractiveness can be in the spotlight, and artistic tendencies come to the fore. It is easier than ever to express your individuality in a manner that is true to you. This can be a strong period for business endeavors, gaining new insights, strategy, and powers of persuasion. Communications projects move forward. Love and social matters can be up and down at times and the need to buckle down with finances and schedules becomes clear.

2016 is a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.

2017 will be a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

Zodiac Sign Qualities

Explore the meaning of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs

By Tarot.com Staff

Zodiac, Astrology

 

Ok friends, are you ready to dive a little bit deeper into Astrology? You probably know there are 12 zodiac signs and four elements (Fire, Earth, Air and Water), but have you heard about zodiac sign “qualities?”

Every sign is influenced by one of three qualities: Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable.

Take fall, for example. Fall Equinox falls on September 22, the same day the Sun enters Libra. Because Libra kicks off the fall season, that makes Libra a Cardinal sign. Scorpio takes over in the midst of fall, making it a Fixed sign. And the season concludes with the Sun in Sagittarius, making that a Mutable sign.

Get it? Astrology is all about nuance, so to truly understand a zodiac sign you must explore the quality each is associated with. So now that you understand how the qualities are structured, let’s take a look at each of the three Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable qualities, what they mean and how they shape your personality.

Cardinal signs

There are four Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Because these signs each start a new season, the quality of their energy is full of initiative. Cardinal signs are impulsive and dynamic, and they push strongly to start new things. In general, people with Cardinal signs in their birth charts generate more new ideas and projects, while those lacking Cardinal energy are more passive.

Fixed signs

There are four Fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. These signs carry the weight of each season, which gives them a sturdy quality. Fixed signs are capable of great endurance, and generally people with much Fixed energy in their birth charts are stable and focused, whereas those lacking Fixed energy may not have much sticktoitiveness or perseverance.

Mutable signs

There are four Mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Because these signs fall at the conclusion of each season, their energy anticipates movement and change. People with Mutable signs in their birth charts tend to be more flexible and adaptable to the changing world around them, while those lacking Mutable energy may be stubborn and inflexible or have a difficult time adjusting to new situations.

How qualities are used

When you’re learning Astrology, you’ll discover that every person has a mix of different zodiac signs, elements and qualities in their birth charts. Once you understand the energy of each quality and combine that information with what you know of each zodiac sign and element, a more complete picture will begin to develop.

For example, the Aries zodiac sign is the element of Fire and the quality is Cardinal. This “Cardinal Fire” combination is very bold, so the more Aries energy a person has in their birth chart, the more brazen they will be. On the other hand, Taurus is an Earth sign with a Fixed quality, so it would be called “Fixed Earth” and its overall energy is very slow and grounded.

Knowing how much of each quality you have in your birth chart is very important. These astrological nuances are what shape us as individuals, so going beyond your Sun sign is key when it comes to understanding Astrology.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, June 9th

 

Aries

People can be on edge in the first half of the day, dear Aries, as recent tensions can reach a head. There can be a tendency to nitpick. Matters of ownership can be an especially heavy issue for you today, and it’s a less than ideal time to lend out money or possessions, or even to collect on loans. The debts of a partner can frustrate you now, or you might find that a partner is restricting you from spending on things you really want. There can be money tensions, but it’s best not to jump into action until you’re in a more reasonable frame of mind. As the day advances you’re likely to wind down. It can be a creative time for you. People begin to focus less on differences of opinion and more on ways to harmonize.

Taurus

You can feel criticized or talked over today, dear Taurus, and it can be frustrating. Mercury in your sign opposes Mars today, and it’s difficult not to take things very personally. Recent worries or frustrations can take their toll or reach a head now. Others may seem invasive. You could be annoyed by impatient people who seem to find fault in whatever you do. It’s important to watch for impulsive speech, as your words have far more impact than usual. Try not to jump to conclusions or jump to express yourself if you’re already feeling angry or tense. In the latter half of the day, however, tempers soothe, and hearts open. You’re more interested in experiencing harmony and peace than proving your point, and others are less inclined to rush or prod you.

Gemini

You may be a little fearful of changes or tense about recent developments, dear Gemini, and this can reach a head now as your ruler, Mercury, opposes Mars. There can be an accelerated daily pace, looming deadlines, health concerns, or scheduling issues to deal with. Watch for speaking too quickly or prematurely. Early morning tensions are likely to stem from worries about the things you haven’t done. You could be feeling a little scattered, with far too much to do, and at a loss as to where to begin. You might also have a strong feeling that work and daily routines are weighing you down when you’d much rather take part in more free-form activities. You might be feeling under-valued, particularly when it comes to work or the contribution you make on a daily basis – the “unseen” things that you do. As the day advances, you’re less likely to worry about the details and more likely to seek out peace and harmony.

Cancer

Tensions may get the better of you today, dear Cancer, but if handled well, they can also motivate you to make important changes and adjustments. In the first half of the day, you may not be feeling especially emotionally generous and could be frustrated with what seem to be blocks in your social life. There can be some drama with friends now. A child or love interest might be acting out, or you could be acting tense with them. You could get totally fired up over an issue that on another day you’d simply overlook or rise above. It can be too easy to fly off the handle. However, as the day progresses, you’re far more interested in harmonizing or taking a load off. The mental tension of the day, once released, can in fact result in important epiphanies. At the very least, it can alert you to the need to reduce stress levels or address issues as they arise.

Leo

Tensions related to home life, family, and work-life balance can emerge or come to a head today, dear Leo. Distractions are plenty right now, and you can temporarily feel as if your home or family life is unsettled. Watch how you express yourself if you’re feeling stressed, as a Mercury-Mars opposition can point to rash commentary or actions. Impatience can be costly now, as it can serve to distract you and possibly trip you up. Remember that “haste makes waste”. Balancing your personal and professional lives can be tricky these days, and you might often feel like escaping difficult atmospheres on the home front or with family. It may not be easy to get your way today. However, you come into your own as the day advances. Patience returns and you can find better outlets for releasing tension.

Virgo

Mercury and Mars oppose one another across your communications and transportation sectors today, dear Virgo, and this can stimulate tensions, impatience, and impulsiveness, particularly related to communications and commuting. Avoid jumping to express yourself if you’re already tense, as much as you might feel the need to speak. Remember the old adage “haste makes waste”, which applies strongly to you now. The challenges faced in the first half of the day are generally about keeping pace and feeling in sync. Others may be irritable, there can be frustrating differences of opinion, and you could be quite impatient with mechanical things. Frustrations with errands, paper work, and other daily life activities can figure strongly now. As the day progresses, you are able to lift yourself above the clatter of everyday matters. It becomes less about living in the mind and worrying, and more about harmonizing and moving on.

Libra

There can be some defensiveness and tension surrounding recent problem areas in your life, dear Libra, and especially revolving around money and possessions or matters of value, talent, and respect. You might be feeling especially possessive due to fears that something will be taken away from you. Tensions revolving around money, intimacy, or power can reach a head in the first half of the day. Basic values may be challenged, or how a partner is treating you or spending money can be a point of frustration. News about a financial matter could temporarily throw you off center. Watch for aggressive words that you might later regret, as well as impatience in general. As the day progresses, however, you are more interested in harmonizing than being right or proving a point. Pay attention to what emerges today and then take steps to reduce stress or release tension.

Scorpio

Mars in your sign opposes Mercury today, dear Scorpio, and this can point to frustrations dealing with others, particularly about matters of opinion and freedom, which can put you in the position where you feel you must defend yourself. Be especially aware of your manner and how you go about getting what you want out of life in the first half of the day, as there can be some impatience and if you observe your actions carefully, you may see a rather self-destructive way of shooting yourself in the foot. You’re in the best shape today if you keep some emotional distance. Contribute something to a greater cause. Consider ways in which you may be holding yourself back that have to do with how you present yourself to others. Tensions early in the day tend to subside as the day advances, and you have every opportunity to end the day with a feeling of empowerment. You are able to rise above the smaller issues.

Sagittarius

Pressures can force an issue today, dear Sagittarius, as Mercury and Mars form an opposition and bring a matter of tension or frustration to a head, particularly about work, responsibilities, and service. People around you may be running hot and cold, as there is a tendency to be very easily annoyed by vagueness today, and to want things to happen stat. As you are likely to feel especially sensitive to any matter that involves a real imbalance of power today, it is better to avoid situations that are potentially very tricky or competitive. This is not an ideal time for gaining an edge, as you are likely to feel that if you push too hard, you wind up at square one, or worse. However, you do have a chance to strengthen relationships later today, and as tensions subside, you might consider strategies for reducing stress or dealing with problem areas so that they don’t fester.

Capricorn

Your social life or love relationships can be especially animated and possibly tense today, dear Capricorn. People can seem a little combative or their communications can be hasty and rough around the edges. Impulsive speech and actions can be pronounced now, and possibly quite disruptive. People around you could be quite self-righteous or self-involved, making it difficult to get a word in edgewise, let alone have a healthy conversation. There can be a lot of impatience and resulting tension in the first half of the day, but as the day advances, there can be a real turnaround as anger tends to subside, hearts open, and the desire to harmonize and/or move on dominates. Look for ways to reduce stress.

Aquarius

Tensions can run high today, particularly with career matters and/or conflicts with those in authority, dear Aquarius. Controversy might be stirred now. You may be tempted to say or do something out of character. While you might learn where you stand with others now, the picture isn’t entirely complete because of a tendency to take things too personally. You can find it challenging to stay in the here-and-now, largely because people around you seem to be nervous, aggressive, or too focused on right and wrong. Strive to be clear, direct, and honest in your communications. Watch for getting too worked up about things that truly don’t matter in the long run. As the day moves forward, rough edges soften, and quite dramatically. Focusing on repairing and healing can be successful. Strategies to reduce stress should be devised now.

Pisces

Tensions that have been working under the surface of things can reach a head today, dear Pisces, as Mercury and Mars form an opposition. Nervous energy is likely now, and possibly quite excessive. Try your best to avoid getting too worked up over a difference of opinion. You may be feeling overburdened and under-appreciated. Others don’t seem to be giving you the support or feedback you desire right now. Delays getting from point A to point B or mixed up schedules can especially grate on your nerves. There may be frustrating issues surrounding transportation and mobility to contend with. With concentration and desire, you can lift yourself above these things and focus on the bigger picture. While there can be too much emphasis on what people think is right or wrong in the first half of the day, as the day moves forward, a strong desire to harmonize and move on is with us.
