Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 10th

Aries

This is a potentially strong day for taking care of business, as well as others, dear Aries. It’s a good time for family or interactions with people you can count on. You may be taking on a nurturing role now, and you are especially able to communicate to others your acceptance and care. You are also more creative and/or able to express your ideas in ways that others more fully appreciate. The Moon’s move into your sector of work and health this morning encourage attention to daily routines and important details.

Taurus

The Moon’s move into your playful solar fifth house this morning can cure any recent blues, dear Taurus, and a nice connection between the Sun and Ceres tends to encourage contentment with your current lot in life – you’re seeing things for their value and looking at your world with enthusiasm. This is a strong time for showing your care and concern or expressing your feelings in real, measurable ways. Your creative muse is alive and well today. Healing through play, pleasure, and positivity can be in strong focus now.

Gemini

This is a strong time for reaching out to others, dear Gemini. You’ll find people are very much in your corner now, and you can be taking the initiative with friends and networking or in group settings. Your own creativity or contributions can be especially appreciated. Someone may be expressing their affection for you today. It’s a good time for cooperating and enjoying time with others. The Moon’s move into your sector of home and family this morning is a somewhat retiring one, but this is more about settling in and enjoying quieter, comforting times than about needing to be on your own.

Cancer

This is a strong day for communicating and connecting, dear Cancer, but also for emotional contentment. Relationships with family members can prosper, and it’s also a good day for finance–even for relationships with financial advisers and bankers as well as people you do business with. Ideas for making money working from home or involving home and family-related products and services can be rich today. The Moon’s move into your solar third house this morning encourages you to connect and stimulates your curiosity and desire to learn and research ideas.

Leo

This is a potentially standout day for furthering creative goals and ambitions, dear Leo, and for sharing ideas that are received especially well. Recreational activities with friends can be especially appreciated and bonding now. There can be rich ideas about improving your vitality or energy levels circulating now, and a friend can be especially helpful or a source of interesting information. The Moon moves out of your sign later morning, and this tends to settle the emotions, making it a little easier to focus on your practical affairs.

Virgo

You may begin the day quite inconspicuously, dear Virgo, but with the Moon’s move into your sign later morning, you’ll begin to both attract and crave connection with the world around you, or at least some acknowledgement of your feelings. Emotional needs that you’ve put to the side recently now beg for expression. There is also strong energy for business today. You can get good support and backing from others in ways that improve your career prospects or reputation. Ideas are particularly rich when it comes to sensing what people want, benefiting both intimate and professional relationships.

Libra

Your sign is known for enjoying company, particularly of the one-on-one variety, more than most, dear Libra. However, when the Moon spends time in your solar twelfth house for a couple of days a month, you tend to prefer your own company a little more often. From morning forward, the Moon’s transit of this private area of your solar chart inclines you to be quite preoccupied with important thoughts or secrets. It’s a good time to benefit from giving yourself some emotional space. Even so, today is good for sharing some broader ideas with someone special. You can feel quite supported when someone reinforces and understands your perspective.

Scorpio

While you often rely on yourself when dealing with problems, dear Scorpio, today is strong for sharing ideas and dilemmas with others, as you’re likely to get some real support. Collaboration tends to go well now. The Moon moves into your sector of friends, associates, dreams, causes, and wishes later morning, making it an especially good time to take a load off. The focus is on letting go of pressures to perform. Even so, this can be a rich time for making headway with organizing efforts, work, or research. You might discover that finding the information you need comes more easily than usual today.

Sagittarius

While this can be a wonderfully rich day for creative and romantic expression, dear Sagittarius, the Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart also serves to fire up your ambitions. You become more aware of what you should and shouldn’t be doing, and you might find that others are holding you a little more accountable as well. Be the shining light now instead of fretting over what others might be thinking of you. This is a time for taking on a responsibility that will truly improve your life. Sharing your load with others can be rewarding today.

Capricorn

This is a strong day for taking the lead on a household or family matter, dear Capricorn, and efforts to improve your work or health can also be quite fruitful now. A healthy Sun-Ceres connection between your home and work sectors can also point to creative ways to get work done in or on your home, as well as more cooperation with family and co-workers. Even so, the Moon moves into your adventure sector later morning, and this pumps up any latent desires to get out and about, which will continue tomorrow and the next. If you can’t find big ways to express your desire to wander, you might consider mixing up your routine or trying out something new – small efforts to spice up your life can work quite well now.

Aquarius

This can be a strong day for creative ideas as well as bonding with others through pleasure and play, dear Aquarius. Ideas are rich and cooperation comes more easily than usual. Someone may be expressing their affection for you, and reaching out to others can be beneficial as well. Even so, the Moon moves into your intimacy sector late morning, and this brings about a stronger need for deeper connections to others, the world around you, and yourself as well. You’re looking for more meaning now. You could be a little more demanding than you usually are, but you are also giving more and this tends to balance things out.

Pisces

You’re inclined to pull your head out of your work and personal research now as the Moon moves into your partnership sector late morning, dear Pisces, and you seek out some companionship. In fact, today and the next couple of days are strong for connecting with, and learning from, others. The focus can be on the needs or agenda of a partner or good friend now, and you’ll find that compromising comes far more easily than usual today. Family and home-related goals can prosper, and ideas for making or saving money can emerge now.

June 2016 – April 2017: Eris Conjunct Uranus

a message from Sarah Varcas

Revolution Within and Without

9^th June 2016 sees the first exact conjunction between Eris and Uranus in the 24^th degree of Aries. In it we meet the untamed feminine: wild and radical, owned by no one, shaped by nothing and prepared to do what it takes to expose the enduring lies that diminish and debilitate humanity. She points the finger without hesitation, names the oppressor and fights to the death of all falsity presented as truth. Eris is our power – men and women, one and all – to take a stand; to face the unpalatable facts of our sterile life; to honour the deep, gutsy knowing in our very bowels that life itself is raw, passionate and cannot be tamed. Her alliance with Uranus affords her ever greater influence, instilling within those who join her crusade the power to shake awake even those most deeply asleep in this world on the brink.

Unlike Mars who will fight to impose, Eris fights to expose. She refuses to accept the social mores of conformity used to keep us down. Eris unflinchingly illuminates millennia of denial and degradation of the feminine, highlighting equally its trademark oppression of women and girls, alongside its brutalisation of boys and men. Currently aligned to Mars, the archetypal masculine, we see these two forces in intense dialogue, negotiating a settlement and positive way forward which honours both polarities in us all.

At a planetary level Eris conjunct Uranus will shake things up like never before. Revolution is in the air and we ain’t seen nothin’ yet! She is a warrior goddess for Mother Nature mobilised to protect her at any cost. Taking no prisoners she stands beside those who honour our great mother, confronting those who exploit her. Unsentimental to her core, she will do what’s necessary to protect the beating heart of Gaia and asks of us a similarly gutsy attitude which stands firm in the face of intimidation and refuses to swallow the lies we’re so readily fed. Eris resists the imposition of another’s agenda and urges we do the same. It is time to decide for ourselves what happens next and why. Time to rise up and change the agenda to one that serves this planet and all life upon her, not exploits it to destruction.

Many fear Eris and all she stands for. We balk at acknowledging our share of the fierce mother who will both kill to protect or devour her young depending on situation and circumstance. We do not want to see in ourselves the forces of nature that destroy rather than nurture. Eris doesn’t fit neatly into a spiritual narrative that says we’re all love and light and rage has no place in the awakened heart. She tells us everything has a place, otherwise it isn’t awakened, for awakening knows all things intimately. It doesn’t pick and choose.

This cosmic conjunction, aligned also with Mercury and Chiron, highlights the power of emotion and the untapped potential of humanity, inviting fulfilment of our destiny as multi-dimensional beings. It alerts us to the lie that life is a competition in which we are forever protecting something we could lose at any time. In truth we simply cannot lose what really matters for it is our very essence, the defining substance from which our being is shaped. All else is an illusion created as we struggle to acknowledge our core divinity. Were we all to know without doubt our divine essence wars would end overnight, starvation disappear, the equitable distribution of resources implemented and our blessed Mother Earth honoured as the breathtakingly beautiful being she is.

Needless to say the human race is not there yet! Our default settings tell us we have reputations to protect, battles to fight, honour to defend and worth to prove. Eris reminds us just how deeply we are programmed to polarise the world and then fight ‘the other side’, no matter who or what it may be. In her alignment with Uranus we encounter the unpredictable nature of such a world view. When we create an ‘other’ out there, it takes on a life of its own. We cannot control how it shapes its own individuality, responds to our challenges or fashions its own destiny. Our present moment perceptions can change the future irretrievably. If we see a world full of enemies, enemies are born. If we see a world full of allies, allies are born. And if we simply see a world full of one, the One is born and any notion of enemy or ally becomes redundant in the glorious merging of All That Is.

This mystical edge of unity-consciousness is also the sharp edge of reality against which we are wounded as we strive to shape our own destiny. It’s entirely up to us how all this plays out: war or peace; division or unity; ignorance or wisdom. Nothing is ‘written in the stars’, but across our hearts and minds instead, for this cosmic alliance is within and without: unpredictable and divisive or awakening and unifying. The choice is ours and so is the task, but one thing’s for sure: the time for exponential change has arrived.

Day 27

To Be Left Alone

For those days when you just need a little peace and quiet.
Peace and quiet and solitude I need,
To be left alone, I have decreed.
To be a recluse, just for a day
A barrier surrounds me and keeps others at bay.

The Beginning of Duir (Oak Month)

According to Celtic tradition, this is the beginning of Duir, the month of the oak. The oak is the most scared tree of the Druids and a symbol of life at its peak. This is time of empowerment, as Duir signifies the door of the year that opens to admit all good things. This is a good time to hug a tree in appreciation for the abundance of light and life Mother Earth has provided.

The Moon In Virgo

The Moon sets the emotional tone as it transits through the Zodiac signs. It changes signs every 2 1/2 days. You can work with this rhythm to “go with the flow” of the Moon. You can use it to know the general feeling tone to expect.

In mutable earth sign Virgo, the mood is geared toward busy productivity and adjusting with minor tweaks here and there. It favors clearing, refining, purging, detox-ing and organizing. It favors launching self-improvement schemes. Your steps may be more purposeful, and this helps you with tasks that require patience and focus on details. You can get into a zen-like groove of action, so mundane tasks like cleaning don’t seem so laborious. You want to be working and seeing signs of tangible effort.

The Moon in Virgo favors big tasks that are time-consuming and require concentration. Activities like gardening (especially weeding and pruning), de-cluttering, cleaning closets and other storage areas and catching up on chores.

Mental puzzles, games and reading satisfy the active mind under a Virgo Moon. Conversations are full of everyday analysis of events and people, sometimes critical or fault-finding. Practical solutions come now, and it’s easier to break goals down into steps.

This fleeting transit puts health on the radar, and is a good time to look at your daily routine. It favors refinements to diet or exercise, so that the body system functions better.

Some power actions under a Moon in Virgo: drink lots of water, fast, stretch, walk or jog, volunteer, add finishing touches, write or edit, give and take some constructive criticism, encourage a loved one to keep trying, de-toxify your home or work space, bring order to chaos, use discernment, refine your routine.

The Pagan’s Friday

Friday is traditionally considered the sixth day of the week, falling between Thursday and Saturday, as it does in countries that adopt a Sunday-first convention (see Days of the week for more on the different conventions). In countries adopting the Monday-first, and, in work-based conventions, it is the fifth day of the week.

The name Friday comes from the Old English frigedæg, meaning the day of Frige the Anglo-Saxon form of Frigg, the Germanic goddess of beauty. In most Germanic languages it is named after Freyja—such as Freitag in Modern German, vrijdag in Dutch, fredag in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish—but Freyja and Frigg are frequently identified with each other. The word for Friday in most Romance languages is derived from the name of Venus such as vendredi in French, venerdì in Italian, viernes in Spanish, and vineri in Romanian. In Hindi, Friday is Shukravar, named for Shukra, the Sanskrit name of the planet Venus. Russian uses an ordinal number for this day of the week– piatnítsa, meaning “fifth.” Similarly, the Portuguese is sexta-feira.

The modern reason why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky is said to come from Friday October the 13th, 1307. On this date, the Pope of the church in Rome in conjunction with the King of France, carried out a secret death warrant Against “the Knights Templar”. The Templars were terminated as heretics, never again to hold the power that they had held for so long. The Grand Master, Jacques DeMolay, was arrested and before he was killed, was tortured and crucified. The destruction of the Templar Knights was so complete and terrible that it will always be remembered as an unlucky day.

Astrology
In astrology Friday is connected with the planet Venus. This associates Friday with love, peace, and relaxation, as well as, with emotional intensity and quashed dreams. And also is connected with the Astrological sign Libra.
