Dating your own zodiac sign can be tricky, as the other person will mirror both your best and worst traits back to you.
For example, Cancers are as cozy together as two bugs in a rug, but can also drive each other crazy with their moodiness. Aquarians may be the best of friends, but could remain so detached that true passion never quite catches fire. And Leos? Heaven forbid you should both want to be the center of attention at the same time! Look up your zodiac sign below to see how dating your own sign might work for you…
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
This can be a tough match. You’re both hot-headed, want your way, and tend to blame the other person when things go wrong. On the other hand, you spark each other’s passionate nature, and will have lots of active fun together. Fighting fairly is the key to your success … as there will be fights! “Never go to bed angry” should be your mantra.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The Bull is stubborn, with a one-track mind. If you’re on the same track, great! If not, you’ll both need to expand your comfort zones — not an easy task for either one of you. You’re both passionate about your own ideas and opinions, so if one of you is conservative and the other liberal, you’re in for trouble. Sports and sensual enjoyment can keep you together.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Twins never bore each other. In fact, there may be too much unpredictability in this match. One of you will have to become the “stable one” and cultivate a home life, or you may not stay together long enough or go deep enough emotionally to put down roots. At least you can talk through whatever comes up, and enjoy a diverse social life.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This is one of the best same-sign matches. You’re both nurturing and love to snuggle up at home. So what if you don’t go out much? The biggest drawback, once you learn to tolerate each other’s moods (and not take them personally!), is that your tendency to mother each other can smother the sexual spark. You make great parents, though.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
This is a volatile match! You both need a lot of attention, and tend to pout if you don’t get it — so you’ll need to trade off making the other person feel special. Passions run high, which is great for sex, but take care you don’t say or do something in the heat of a fight that fatally damages the relationship. Mutual respect is the key to this union.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
If you’re both dedicated to the higher goals of health and service, this could be a match made in heaven. Just don’t try to improve the other person or criticize their behavior — which kills the passion. Overanalyzing the relationship can also make it wither on the vine. Plant a garden or do yoga together and you’ll bring out the best in each other.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
This can be a lovely union — you’re both attuned to pleasing the other person and cultivating balance and fairness. The danger, though, is that you’ll stay too superficial — projecting a beautiful image of love while resentments seethe below the surface. You’ll have to be willing to rock the boat a bit so this match can come into its full potential.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Passion, danger, intrigue … two Scorpios have it all! Maybe too much so. Trust is the crucial ingredient that makes this match work. If one or both partners are suspicious or jealous, you’re in for a rocky ride. It’s essential to share your deepest feelings in this union, but don’t bonk the other person over the head with them, or you’ll spur resentment.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Here’s a fun match! You’ll be kayaking and motorcycling together to your hearts’ content. Your strong opinions can lead to spirited discussions, but you’re both okay with that. Real trouble looms when one of you wants a commitment and the other prefers to stay footloose. A higher spiritual purpose can keep you together.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
You might not think this would be a great romantic match, since both of you are hard-headed realists. Yet that very practical nature lets you appreciate who the other person really is, devoid of illusions. You can be yourself in this relationship. Just don’t let your worldly ambitions or need for status take precedence over a nurturing home life.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Aquarians are very open-minded, and can tolerate (or even enjoy!) each other’s eccentricities. And, you make the best of friends. However, the emotional realm is not your forte — so you both may shy away from declaring your feelings and taking things into deeper waters. To cultivate passion, you’ll have to venture out of your comfort zone.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
You’re both dreamers — which works both for you and against you. Two Fish can float around endlessly in a lovely fantasy, never casting anchor into a secure reality. You tend to wear rose-colored glasses, and that means your sweetheart can do no wrong — which is great, unless that person has serious problems. Get a third party to handle your finances.
It’s easy for you to win people over through your words these days, dear Aries, and today, this possibility is pronounced. Your wit and charm are noticed and appreciated. A new way of getting around or connecting can open up. There can be good news, conversations that inspire good feelings and optimism, or a surprise meeting with a friend. A small change in your look or surroundings can be very favorable now, lifting your spirits in large ways. An aloof and independent, yet friendly, manner wins admirers right now. Mercury moves into your communications sector today, where the Sun and Venus are already influencing. This transit lasts until the 29th and gives your communications more oomph. It’s easier to convince and persuade others, and people can be quite attracted to your natural wit and intelligence.
Taurus
Taurus
Your thinking along practical lines is especially original today, dear Taurus. You can also be quite attracted to new things and situations now. Solutions arrived at now are inventive and can involve seeking out hidden or previously unknown sources. You are open today, and this improves your personal attractiveness. It’s a good time to bring a little change or surprise into a relationship. There may be a small turnaround in a relationship – a positive one. You might make a surprising ally. Mercury leaves your sign today and enters your sector of personal resources, where it will transit until June 29th. New ideas can be applied to business and money during this useful cycle. Natural talents are highlighted – you can find more practical use for what you do best. Agreements and contracts can be made/signed, or there may be a lot of discussion about practical affairs.
Gemini
Gemini
You might be the center of attention today in some way, dear Gemini, with attractive Venus in your sign and in positive aspect to Uranus. Your unique qualities are subtly enhanced or more noticeable, and well-liked. It’s a good time for personal magnetism, especially in social situations, so mingle, connect, and network. Remember that Venus doesn’t push, it attracts, and that’s your best approach now. Whether this comes naturally or not, consider ways to improve your image and experiment with your style. Mercury enters your sign today and will continue to transit Gemini until the 29th. This brings more clarity to your life – you might jump off the fence about a matter, for example, or decide to speak about something that you were keeping to yourself. You have a stronger “voice” and more of an impact as a communicator during this period. You can be more communicative and “present” with others.
Cancer
Cancer
This is a great day for enjoying private moments and thoughts, dear Cancer, with Venus in your privacy sector forming a happy aspect with Uranus. You are finding beauty in hidden or not very obvious places. There is an open and spirited mood even if you are not being especially forthright with your affections. You readily give of yourself on the level of support, help, and service, but you keep a bit of a distance emotionally. There is a real sensitivity to and appreciation for private or hidden elements in every situation you encounter today. There could be an opportunity to understand someone, or love/feelings, on a spiritual level. Venus and the Sun are already in your soul and privacy sector, and today, Mercury joins them. During this cycle that lasts until the 29th, private matters and past issues can be a strong mental focus. You could be (or should be) doing more contemplative or meditative activities, research, and reflection. Know limits when it comes to crossing the line from analyzing the past to obsessing over things that you can’t change or redo. There can be more secretiveness or indecision in your life as you sort things through.
Leo
Leo
This is a good time for loosening up, enjoying yourself, and trying new things, dear Leo. Interesting people and ideas can figure strongly today. This can be a good day for making connections, boosting a friendship, and communications in general. There can also be especially easy and happy relations with a partner or love interest. There can be a spiritual awakening of sorts now, wherein people you meet can learn a lot from you, and you from them. Conversations tend to spark sudden awareness and eureka moments. Enjoy yourself today, mingle, and don’t hide yourself away, as new approaches and ideas can be explored now. Mercury moves into your solar eleventh house today, where it will stay until the 29th. Your mind is more inventive and open during this cycle. You can also be quite focused on happiness goals, dreams, wishes, and hopes. Sharing your thoughts is a strong interest and your input and conversations are well-received. Group activities, friendships, and community events can be in focus. You can also be quite technical, business-minded, and progressive now.
Virgo
Virgo
Respect comes your way very easily today, dear Virgo, and relations with those in authority, such as parents or bosses, can be improved, perhaps in surprising ways. This is a time for pleasant surprises and advances, particularly related to life path goals. You’re looked upon well, so take advantage. Connections might be made that prove to be especially favorable over time. Someone might sponsor you or give you support. Mercury begins transiting your career and reputation sector today after a longer stay than usual in your adventure sector. This signals more career or goal-oriented thinking. This influence that is with you until the 29th stimulates interest in, and thought to, career and business affairs. Your work may very well require or demand more communicating, mixing, and connecting on your part. You speak with more awareness of your audience, and also with more authority. For some, there is more public or professional attention to your ideas.
Libra
Libra
There is beautiful energy available to you today for making nice with a lover or partner, dear Libra. Charm is on your side, and this is increasing day by day. Openness to new ideas is a major factor in your attraction. Surprising pleasures, good news, or stimulating ideas can be part of the picture now. There can be a refreshing change of pace and an uplifting of spirits now. Mercury begins its transit of your adventure sector after a long stay in your deep solar eighth house. Symbolically, your thoughts are lifted up and out. Until the 29th, you are thinking in broader terms and entertaining big ideas. While this is not the best time for practical implementation, you are able to expand your thinking and gain new perspective on matters during this period. You are a little braver when it comes to expressing your opinions and sharing your ideas.
Scorpio
Scorpio
This is a great day for addressing unusual, taboo, or complicated matters, dear Scorpio, with a very open mind and rather detached emotional state. People in your life can be pleasantly surprising, bringing light and fun into your life. There may be a good turn on a financial or business level. People are backing you up, and this feels good. Today and until the 29th, Mercury transits your solar eighth house after a rather long and sometimes challenging stay in your partnership sector. This is a period for picking up all sorts of information and cues that are overlooked at different stages. You are a person who tends to read between the lines more frequently than others, and this trait is pronounced now. Financial strategy and planning, research, analysis, and investigation can be especially successful under this influence, particularly when Mercury forms strong aspects. In your personal life, you are bringing more logic and objectivity to matters that are not as rational, whether it’s because they are sensitive, intimate, or taboo. When Mercury is challenged, however, you could be overthinking things.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Giving your time to someone, or allowing a person to shine in their own way as they take the lead, can be very rewarding for both of you today, dear Sagittarius. You may be in a wonderful position to seek or give advice, and leaning on someone can be fun as it’s not excessive right now. This is a fine time for meeting people, and you are feeling especially open and receptive. There is a spirit of freedom and acceptance today that is key to good feelings and enhancing bonds. Make peace now, with both friends and enemies. Mercury begins transiting your opposite sign today, and will do so until the 29th. This brings your ideas out of hiding and thoughts become more social. During this cycle, you tend to need catalysts to jumpstart your own thinking. You might crave one-on-one conversation, advice, or simply a little input in order to eventually come to your own opinions. You might naturally attract intelligent people into your life, or seek out people who are willing to converse and listen.Negotiations and compromises can figure strongly now.
Capricorn
Capricorn
This is a good time for seeing your life in positive, progressive ways, dear Capricorn, and for solving problems or ironing out differences. Personal and practical matters improve. It’s a good day for sharing your plans for the future with others you trust. Work benefits from openness to new methods or teamwork. When it comes to love relationships, there is a sense that you’re growing, moving forward, and improving. Generally speaking, this is not about making commitments but rather exploring options. Home and personal updates can be quite successful now – even small improvements can feel wonderful now. Mercury enters your solar sixth house today, where it will transit until the 29th, stimulating more attention to detail. This is not a time for really being “out there” when it comes to communicating — you’re more likely to enjoy some tidying up in the background. Your work or daily routines can be especially busy. You could also be working on improving your skills.
Aquarius
Aquarius
This is a day when upgrading and updating figure strongly, dear Aquarius, and this can involve equipment and material things, but can also take place on a mental level – new ideas, perspectives, and experiences are in focus. You could learn of something exciting, get good news, or simply have positive communications now. Your personal appeal is strong today. “Being yourself” is always encouraged, but today you’ll see instant proof of why this is so. Use this time to break from a bad situation. Mercury moves into your solar fifth house after a long stay in your home and family sector. This turns your thinking outward. You’ll be tapping into your more creative or playful side during this cycle that lasts until the 29th. Your ideas are more popular, your conversations more playful and friendly, and your thoughts often very creative.
Pisces
Pisces
This is a generally good time for bringing more harmony, balance, and style to the home, as well as for boosting family bonds, dear Pisces. Even little improvements and advances can feel big and exciting. Today is good for resolving problems and ironing out differences. You are learning a little about letting go of some sentimentality towards your personal possessions, either making room for things that improve your life, or getting rid of excess. While this is an ongoing process that is sometimes on the difficult side, today it feels good to unburden. The key now is to offer freedom and space to the people you care about. Mercury enters your sector of home and family today, and while this is not the most verbose or articulate cycle, it’s a good time to bring some objectivity and productive conversations to your home life. This Mercury cycle continues until the 29th.
Living now can be unsettling and exciting at the same time. With so much in flux on our planet, it can feel intense and uncertain – yet the wise part of you knows something wonderful is in the making.
Divine Changemakers Role
On those days when you feel stressed or just on overload from the plethora of incoming information, take a time out to remember the wonderful new world being birthed. As a divine changemaker you are an instrumental part of this birthing!
Clarity in House of Mirrors
On some days, you may feel like you’re living in a house of mirrors. So much is being reflected back to you from so many places and dimensions. It can be mind boggling to get perspective on all you are experiencing, and to know what to believe about the reality you are witnessing.
By now you’ve heard countless times that life itself is your mirror and that each relationship you have helps reflect back to you something you need to see or understand.
Example: you engage with a loved one who has fallen in love and sees the world through “new love” eyes. This may remind you of a time when you felt exactly the same way and help you remember the feeling of being loved without preconditions. This may make you smile.
These are not ordinary times, to be sure. During a typical day, you have lots to focus on and the constant challenge of prioritizing things. You as a being are synthesizing incoming images and data nonstop, even while you are at rest.
In these moments, we indeed have so much changing so fast that internalizing it and making sense of it can be quite a challenge. Many things you will encounter in your house of mirrors can be a combination of truth and fiction.
How do you get clarity? With wisdom you learn to avoid taking things you see literally and you master the art of inquiry. You question what you see, hear, and feel. Rather than simply rejecting what might appear as crazy or even dangerous – you reflect on the mirror of what’s being presented. You ask for a higher view to better understand the larger picture.
Factoring in Cosmic Energies – Neptune Retrograde
It’s helpful to factor in current cosmic energies while responding to events, people, and your own next steps.
Example: Neptune the planet of illusions,visions, fantasy, and the ability to tell fact from fiction, goes retrograde June 13 until November 19 after the US elections. During that time frame it’s vital to apply even more discernment. Something may look like a very good thing or a very bad thing, but the mirror showing it to you may have distortions.
Similarly, you may get strong intuitive guidance to move a new direction, yet something about that choice may be slightly off – like timing or some other detail. Therefore, question things with more scrutiny. Don’t put your life on hold but act sensibly.
In your external world, if news about politics or other issues seems too silly to even bother with, ask within for a higher perspective. Nothing is all good or all bad. Look fearlessly at what you see so you are informed. Walk the middle path of staying conscious as you encounter what a mirror is showing you.
Big Shifts are in the Making
Under the surface of things is percolating an amazing development in humanity’s evolution. You know this at your core. Your heart knows this. You understand intuitively that big shifts are in the making, even if world events illustrate the opposite. Your soul wants you to be here now for these mega transformations of life on Earth – not only to witness them but to actively engage in creating them.
Walk gently the next several months. Be kind to yourself and others as things play out. Watch the fireworks without taking them personally or getting burned by them. Receive the joy and blessings of being the light being that you are, without insisting on knowing all the details.
Apply this daily mantra: “I now let go and trust the universe supports me.”
The First Quarter Moon phase occurs when the Moon is 90 degrees after the Sun.
This is a time of action. We become aware of differences, and this can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of great energy, motivation, and growth. We may be feeling especially ambitious and competitive. Things are beginning to take off or to turn a corner. This is a time when we want to get something going, but we may not know the next step or the exact direction we want it/us to take. Most suitable activities now include taking action, pushing forward, making offers, researching more options, meeting new people, and gathering new/additional supplies you may need to further a project. Watch for overconfidence or overshooting the mark. Use the stress generated now to make changes.
The Moon today is in a First Quarter phase. This phase occurs roughly 7 days after the New Moon when the Moon is one quarter of the way through it’s orbit around the earth. Exactly half the moon will be illuminated and half dark. On the day of the First Quarter phase the moon is high overhead at sunset and is visible until mid-night when it sets in the west. The First Quarter phase is a one day event and in the following days enters a Waxing Gibbous phase becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.

Still a popular event, the Korean Rice Festival ensures an abundant rice harvest. The custom of washing one’s hair in a stream on this day is believed to dispel bad luck and ward off evil. The traditional meal for this festival is one of fresh fish, steamed rice, and greens.
The Latin term for Sunday, our first day of the week, is Dies Solis (“sun’s day”). In ancient Greek, it was called Hemera Heliou. In the Old English language, it was known as Sunnandaeg; in Middle English, Sonenday. All of these titles mean the same thing: the day of the sun.
What do you think of when you feel the sun shine down on you? What sorts of enchantments and energies do you think would be complementary to a day named after our closest star? Sunday brings those bright solar energies into your life and has the magickal correspondences of success, promotion, leadership, pride, light, generosity, warmth, fitness, and personal growth. Astrologically, the sun symbolizes the conscious self and rules the zodiac sign of Leo.
The charms and spells that would complement this magickal day of the sun are ones for personal achievements of any kind-such as if you are seeking fame and wealth, working for that much-deserved promotion at work, or being acknowledged for a job well done. Health issues, increasing personal power, or simply sticking to your diet and being proud of what you have accomplished all fall under the sun’s golden influence.

Sunday corresponds to the sun, our closest star. This day is full of wonder and all sorts of magical potential for success, wealth, and fame. Sundays are for personal achievements of any kind such as working towards a promotion at your job, seeking fame and wealth, or being acknowledged for a job well done. All of these goals fall under the golden influence of the sun. Some suggestions for Sunday enchantments would include:
•Sitting outside at sunrise and calling on the goddess Brigid for illumination and inspiration
•Wearing gold jewelry or clothing that is gold or sunshine yellow to pull some color magic into your life
•Arranging a few sunflowers in a vase and empowering these “flowers of the sun” for fame and ambition
•Gathering up the common marigold flower and scattering it’s petals about to encourage prosperity
•Baking up a batch of cinnamon rolls for the family and enchanting them for health and success
•Snacking on a solar fruit, the orange, and enjoying the magical boost it brings to your life
Herbs/Plants: Marigold, Heliotrope, Sunflower, Buttercup, Cedar, Beech, Oak
Stones: Carnelian, Citrine, Tiger’s Eye, Amber, Clear Quartz and Red Agate
Oil: (Sun) Cedar, Frankincense, Neroli, Rosemary
The first day of the week is ruled by the Sun. It is an excellent time to work efforts involving business partnerships, work promotions, business ventures, and professional success. Spells where friendships, mental or physical health, or bringing joy back into life are an issue work well on this day, too.

Personality Profile:
Those with the Moon in Libra have a breezy elegance that makes them sought-after companions. Their aesthetic standards are high, and they can’t help but turn their homes into showplaces, since they have such an eye for decorative harmony. This often translates into a tranquil domestic life as well, since they also know how to create an atmosphere of peaceful balance.
There’s a light, airy quality to the Libra Moon nature that can be refreshing, especially in times when they’re forced to put their nimble diplomacy into action.
They know that there are two sides to every story, and they’re experts at finding a workable compromise. People often sense their innate fairness, and this leads them to win the trust of many.
It’s natural for the Libra Moon to share, whether in a business relationship or in romance. They are happiest when part of a twosome, but sometimes this leads to a stifling dependence. If faced with a separation of any kind, they could act as if they’re very existence is threatened. That’s because more than any other Moon sign, their emotional identity is shaped by their relationships with others.
The Libra Moon can claim to be a true “people person” because they often use the mirror of others to understand their own natures. But Libra is an air sign, and inhabiting the Moon, it often leads with the head, rather than the heart.
To hear them talk about a potential mate might sound like they’re interviewing for a job. But a focus on the lifestyle, appearance and manner of a person ranks high for someone looking for a pleasing overall package. They’re searching for someone they can glide with through life in glorious tandem while looking as polished and put-together as they are – in a word, perfection both inside and out.
Sunday is associated with the colors yellow and gold, which shouldn’t be surprising – it’s the day of the sun, right? Because of this planetary association, this is a day that’s also connected to solar deities like Helios and Ra. Interestingly, in some Celtic traditions, Brighid’s day is Sunday as well.
When it comes to crystal use, Sunday is related to quartz crystals and diamonds, as well as the yellowish hues of carnelian and amber. For herbs and plants in magical workings, use marigolds, sunflowers or cinnamon.
What kind of magic is best performed on Sunday? Well, it’s a day that generally has a number of associations – agriculture, beauty, hope, victory, self-expression and creativity are all connected to this particular day. Plant or harvest something new (not just material crops, but metaphysical ones as well), create something from nothing, and prepare to win at everything.
Those ambitious, successful spells and charms will be heightened by working on the day of the week that has the planetary influence of the sun. So light those sunny candles, wear some luminous colors, and break out the gold jewelry! Bake up some cinnamon rolls or low-fat cinnamon muffins for an enchanting family breakfast. Take an orange with you to eat at lunch today. Try using a little magickal aromatherapy and burn some cinnamon-scented incense to encourage success and wealth today. Make the talisman to keep your solar magick with you. Sprinkle some dried marigold petals around your house-or across the threshold-to pull triumph and protection toward you and your family.
Get outside and tip up your face to the sun. Take a walk outside, and soak up some sunshine! Acknowledge the power of Sunna or Helios as they blaze across the sky and bring courage and motivation into your life. Sit outside at sunrise on a Sunday morning and bask in its warm, rosy-golden glow Acknowledge Brigid as the inner, creative spark of imagination and inspiration. She can help these gifts burn brightly within your own soul. Use your imagination and create your own brand of witchery and magick. Here comes the sun, and it’s your turn to shine!

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.
On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.
