• General Horoscope

  With a Full Moon in Sagittarius on Saturday, it’s possible that you’ll gain new perspective on what’s really important to you in life and love. As Mercury turns direct on Sunday, you’ll slowly gain the ability to convey your most practical thoughts to your mate. The problem on Sunday however, is that the Sun will oppose Mars. There could be a battle of wills between you and your lover that goes nowhere fast.

• Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

  With the Moon in relationship-sign Libra on Monday through Wednesday, it’s likely that you’ll feel more of a need to connect with your partner. There will be a greater emotional bond possible between the two of you since you’ll both be more sensitive to each other’s moods. Nurture what’s good, and for this week at least, decide to shelve any disputes you may have. You’ll be glad you did.

• Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

  There will be a highlight on the resources you share with your mate this week. Although you’ll gain a new perspective about where you stand financially, there might be some full disclosure that leads to great frustration. If your partner has not been as responsible as you with handling money, this will be more of a problem. In fact, it could be a deal-breaker. Emotions run high, but don’t make any firm decisions just yet.

• Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

  The keen awareness you gain about a relationship situation this week probably won’t make dealing with it any easier. In fact, sometimes the more you know, the harder it is to decide what to do about it. Figuring out where to go from here with your partner might not happen all at once, but the good news is that you’ll be motivated to keep moving forward even if you don’t have a sound plan. Sometimes, that’s enough.

• Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

  The Moon will be in your true love sector all day on Thursday and Friday. As a result, you will find it easier to wear your heart on your sleeve and show your sweetheart more of your vulnerable side. Once Mercury turns direct on Sunday, you’ll gain clarity about a situation between you and a pal. If your friend has been offering misguided advice about your love life, you’ll be able to pick it apart. Take what’s valuable and discard the rest.

• Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

  A Full Moon in your romance sector this weekend might offer fulfillment in the love department. If you’re dating someone, it’s possible that you’ll realize you’ve fallen head over heels in love. If you’re single however, you might feel tempted to date someone just for the sake of dating. Resist. Remember that you’re more sensitive than usual in matters of the heart right now and as a result, you might leap into something that is less than you deserve.

• Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

  Family drama might leave little room this week for romance. It appears that someone in your clan will have news to share that’s emotionally charged. What’s more, it might affect your family dynamic for some time. Another possibility is that you and your partner will be in the middle of a domestic transition together. A move is possible. Or, one of your parents might be under the weather and need your help more than usual.

• Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

  If there’s a decision you need to make with your partner connected to investments, joint finances, or budgeting, wait it out this week. On Sunday, Mercury will turn direct in the area of your chart that rules shared resources. Once Mercury regulates his orbit, you and your love will realize that you see eye-to-eye on what really matters. Compromise will be much easier as the common ground between you will reveal itself once more.

• Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

  If you and your partner have been stumbling on your words to each other lately, take heart: things are about to get much better. On Sunday, Mercury will turn direct in your relationship sector after having been retrograde since April 28. Soon, you’ll notice how much easier it is to make decisions together and have conversations that finally get somewhere. Until then, patience will be required.

• Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

  A Full Moon in your sign this Saturday signals that emotions are out in the open. If there’s anything your partner needs to know, he or she will just feel your vibes without you having to say a word. There might be a hint of an argument brewing between you on Sunday if you start to feel you’re not getting your way. If this happens, take a step back and consider whether or not you’re overreacting. There’s a good chance you are!

• Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

  If your love life has been in shambles lately, Mercury Retrograde might be the culprit. Since April 28, he has been out of phase in your romance sector. As a result, you might have endured miscommunication with your lover, or mixed signals from someone you have a crush on. Another possibility is that an ex reached out to you asking for a second chance. Hold off on a firm decision until after Sunday when Mercury turns direct. Then, clarity will resume.

• Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

  If you haven’t been paying much attention to your love life, this week that might change. On Friday the Sun will move into your romance sector, shining a light on all things that give you joy — including matters of the heart. Your passions might be aroused by someone you meet with whom you have a clear mental connection. The only potential trouble is that your friends might begin to offer unwanted guidance. Tell them to back off!

• Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

  Communication might be unsteady this week in all areas of your life — including romance. Mercury will continue to travel retrograde in your message sector until Sunday. As a result, if you have a significant decision to make about your love life, it’ll be best to put it off until next week. Same goes if you and your lover need to have a vital conversation. Minds can’t be made up until Mercury is back on track. Be patient.

Moon in Libra

The Moon is the astrological metaphor which symbolizes an individual’s inner, feeling-based personality. The Moon travels through the entire Zodiac every month, changing signs roughly every two and a half days.

The Zodiac sign the Moon occupies as it travels through the sky will help set the “emotional tone” for the day. The aspects it forms … the angles it makes to other planets in the sky as it moves … show periods of cooperation and conflict between various needs and personal agendas — and will be reflected in the moods and general climate of concerns in real life.

Libra is an Air Sign. Air Signs are concerned with issues of communication, information handling, data gathering and management, invention and innovation, and the practical applications of knowledge, When there is Air Sign energy in the sky, or when a person has Air Sign energy in his Natal Chart, these qualities and attitudes will be on display somehow. The Air Signs of the Zodiac are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Libra is also a Cardinal Sign. The Cardinal Signs of the Zodiac are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The Cardinal signs are direct, decisive, ambitious, opportunistic, and motivated. The one thing you cannot fault them for is their talent for making things happen!! When they’re inspired or uncomfortable … they work to somehow initiate change in their circumstances. When there is Cardinal Sign energy in the sky, these attitudes and qualities will also be prominent in the events and experiences people meet.

Phases of the Moon and Their Psychic Associations

SECOND QUARTER

(waxing half moon to the full moon)

During this lunar phase, your emotions and senses get turned up to “high.” (Think of it as riding a psychic wave of sorts: it builds as the full moon gets closer, peaks, and then you start to ride downward.) Precognitive dreaming is more likely to happen during this particular lunar phase. At the full moon phase itself, you will probably notice everything in a more detailed and magickal way, so work with it when it hits. Intuition and clairvoyance abilities will peak as the moon waxes to full. Employ your favorite divinatory tools now to see the past, present, and future.
