Zodiac Sign Qualities – Explore the meaning of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs

Zodiac Sign Qualities

Explore the meaning of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs

Tarotcom Staff    Tarotcom Staff on the topics of zodiac, insight, 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.  Each of the qualities is defined by a point within each season: Cardinal signs begin a new season, Fixed signs carry the weight of the season, and Mutable signs conclude the season.

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.

Nightmares of the Zodiac

Nightmares of the Zodiac

What’s your Sun sign’s deepest fear?

Tarotcom Staff  Tarotcom Staff on the topics of halloween, astrology

It’s that time of year again, when Americans like to scare themselves with ghosts, goblins and the rest of Halloween’s spooky tomfoolery. You might call it our annual fear fest, but are these truly our worst fears? Of course not. To find qualms that really make our skin crawl, we need to dig a little deeper.

Take a look at these zodiac sign nightmares and see if they don’t send a shiver up your spine.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You are at the end of a long line hiking up a tall mountain. The group’s leaders are Virgos, arguing about which way to go, while everyone else plods along at a snail’s pace. You’re going to have to push your way to the head of the line and stage a coup … or tear your hair out. Which will it be?

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Wait a minute … whose car is that in your garage? Okay, the one you had was breaking down every other day and you were thinking about replacing it … but it was a comfy jalopy and, besides, you hadn’t finished your research. Now someone has gone and made up your mind for you. That’s not fair!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Can’t someone just change that muzak? If orchestral string covers weren’t bad enough, you work in a room all alone, your iPhone is dead and you can’t even get your browser to load. Communication breakdown … your private version of hell … has finally come true.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As you open your door, your friends shout “surprise!” It’s your birthday and they’ve got an all-you night planned. As you squeeze between co-workers you barely know, they start projecting a PowerPoint featuring your naked baby pictures, every bad hairdo and ugly date you’ve ever had, plus your fat phase.

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)

Amidst booing and hissing, olives and cocktail umbrellas flying through the air … you’re cowering on a karaoke stage after what you thought was a knockout rendition of Wild Thing. Returning to your table, you find your date has bailed and left a napkin note telling you what a complete loser you are.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

You’re behind a counter, facing a long line of angry customers waiting to tell you in detail about everything that’s wrong with the product you designed. That’s right, the one you slaved over for years and were sure would be a best seller. They don’t want exchanges or refunds … they want your head!

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Your partner’s quirks have been gnawing on your last nerve for what seems like eons. You’re about to explode when … sure enough, like clockwork … he/she pulls one more stunt. Arms flailing, screaming at the top of your lungs, you lunge for his/her throat. So much for your famous emotional control, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You trust your new sweetie implicitly, but that doesn’t keep you from indulging in a little snooping while he/she is in the shower. Rummaging through bedside drawers, you discover a set of sexy underwear you’ve never seen before. Two can play at this game, you vow, as you plot your revenge.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The jury has come back with its verdict and you’re guilty. You’ll be spending the next decade of your life in one place. But don’t worry … it’s a minimum-security prison with a lovely view of the freeway. You can still dream about all the places you’ll travel when you get parole.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Who’s that waving his finger in your face? Why, it’s that guy you used to supervise before your job was outsourced. Now you’re wearing stonewashed jeans and sitting at a tiny workstation in a row of cubicles that never ends. What happened to your Gucci suits and private corner office?

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A security guard meets you at the entrance to your new workplace and whisks you away to a room where you undergo a complete makeover. When you’re finally escorted into your new office, you discover everyone looks exactly like you. Next on your newbie schedule … brainwashing!

Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)

You hear a loud knocking on your door and open it to find three IRS men ready to rip into your tax return. They want you to account for every latte expense you listed and are suspicious of your self-employed income, too. Tearfully, you open the shoebox where you shoved your receipts to face the sorting and organizing you dread.

Dating Horrors Through the Zodiac

Dating Horrors Through the Zodiac

Prepare to make your next date thrilling, not chilling

Tarotcom Staff   Tarotcom Staff on the topics of love, halloween, astrology

Often the scariest evenings are not when there’s a creaky floorboard or a ghostly chill, but when you’re curled up with your date watching a movie on TV, or when you’re on your first vacation with each other and you’re about to head to the beach … and then it happens!

He or she takes off their mask to reveal who they really are, and you’ll meet the Mr. (or Ms.!) Hyde you didn’t even know you were dating! Or check your sign below for the worst case scenario for the sign you’re dating.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

The werewolf effect with Aries is that they’ll transform into self-centered, big-headed monsters that would die before missing an opportunity to talk about themselves. With any and every event that happens to them or even to you, they’ll use it as a cue to brag, whine or worry about what’s going on in their lives. If you’re not smart enough to realize at this point that your relationship is over, you’ll be consumed by their one-person ogre show until they find someone else bored, stupid or naïve enough to listen.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

There’s a glazed look that can come over a Taurean’s face where you just know that you’re no longer a lover to them, or even a person. You’ve become something far less … a piece of cake, a tuft of grass, a shank of lamb, or their favorite down pillow with a 3,000 thread count sham and pillow cover. You’ve become a real object of desire and comfort, rather than your own person.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The change for Gemini starts with their eyes getting shiftier, and then the transformation quickly moves to their extremities. Suddenly, their eyes are everywhere — except on you — and their hands are reaching for the ever-ringing cell phone, the Blackberry, the laptop, the fax machine and a cab door all at once. You’re either left waiting at the curb, running to catch up or holding the line on the other side of the phone — alone.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer loves to take care of their lovers. It sounds nice, but sometimes when Cancer wants to take care of you, it can almost feel like the mafia’s way of “taking care of you” before they tie the concrete block around your foot. You’re being stuffed to the nostrils with food, attention, chocolate, gifts, messages, massages, kisses, cards, e-cards, flowers, photos, brownies and cakes until … you … can’t … breathe.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

When Leo does his or her fright show, they chew up the scenery with real melodrama and loud relish. This means that when you address a dating issue with a Lion — whether it be petty or only somewhat important — your date may act as if you’ve plunged a wooden stake deep into their hearts and they’ll wail, wallow and thrash as to let the whole world know of your betrayal and treachery.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

The Virgo spook-fest almost always starts small. At first, your date may only casually and infrequently critique how you’re dressed or make a suggestion about your grammar. But as things progress, you might come to feel as if you’ve been teleported back in time to the one-room schoolhouse of a chronically constipated 19th-century school master, or you’ve landed on the couch of Sigmund Freud himself and your whole life is subject to psychoanalytic review.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

No sign struggles more with the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome like Libra. A Libran will smile bright enough to light a cave while making you feel like a heap of toilet paper in a flooded trench. You won’t know whether to run from them or kiss ’em for their sado-masochistic charm. Ultimately, they’re just indecisive and can’t make up their minds about whether to pull you closer or flit off to torture someone else. So they just keep on hangin’ on until you bribe them to leave you alone, or they get a better offer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

When the sea-monster that swims around the whirlpool of a Scorpio’s heart is aroused over some perceived or actual wrong, it wants nothing but complete, blood-dripping and annihilating revenge on his or her former beloved. Any secrets and tidbits of information that you innocently handed over to your Scorpio date before you roused the Beast can and will be used against you in the courtroom, where Scorpio serves as prosecutor, defender, judge, jury and executioner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

The Centaur’s love of sport, adventure and philosophy can turn into a real scary movie when he or she mistakes your heart for a soccer ball. It’s not that they intend to be malicious when they never introduce you as their girlfriend or boyfriend (as to avoid commitment); or when they wax poetically and philosophically about your need for more intimacy (without giving it); or when they book a week-long vacation to Australia (without you). As they might say, “Stuff just happens.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Creepicorn is what happens when your Capricorn’s blood temperature drops and decides that your best use is as a tool for some plot du jour cooked up in their brains. This sign’s fears can go deep and long, so they can turn on you, because they “thought” you might not be up to any good, without any conclusive evidence. So without warning or provocation, the Cap might tell you that your whole dating experience was his or her way to get back at an ex from 20 years ago, without remorse or regret.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

The creep fest with Aquarius is at least a crowded experience. As they love their friends so, Aquarians may never show or let you know how you’re different or more special than the gaggle of derelicts, nuts and geeks who masquerade as his or her friends and who seem to follow them at every turn. If you’re looking for intimacy at a restaurant or even your own couch, you’d better be prepared to share your date with his or her network at a moment’s notice.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

The squirm-n-scream appeal of Pisces will at least make you feel like a movie star. It’s just that no one told you it was a horror flick. The Pisces will spend an exorbitant amount of time, money (if they have it) or attention on building the perfect set for the movie that is your relationship. As they’re especially romantic, they’ll even create a musical score. You’ll feel wonderful and special. Then, suddenly and most likely through some third party — like a text message, email, voice mail or gossip columnist — you’ll learn you’ve been cut out of the movie and your part has even been re-written. The explanation will be lame, so don’t try to make sense of it. You won’t be invited to the wedding, where your Pisces will again spend an exorbitant amount of time, money…

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 18th

We are motivated to take initiative today, especially in the context of relationship issues. A spontaneous Aries Full Moon eclipse occurs at 7:37 pm EDT, precipitating change and escalating the emotional intensity. Although it’s crucial to stay in touch with our dreams, living in the present moment releases us from unrealistic expectations. Our fluctuating moods need plenty of room to roam before we try to channel them in any one direction.

Aries Horoscope

 

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re looking forward to the weekend, even if you have to handle complicated relationship dynamics. The Aries Full Moon eclipse stirs emotional change, but it also instills you with a sense of quiet power. Find peace by setting a sustainable pace that gives you time to improvise. Thankfully, you don’t need to stand on your desk and shout; others can tell that you are on to something big. Just remember to keep the energy moving forward no matter what happens

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Hidden feelings are brought to the surface today and can trigger an uneasy response when they are released. You may actually breathe a sigh of relief that others hear as the energy of the excitable Aries Full Moon eclipse shakes up your 12th House of Privacy. If they ask you what’s going on, go ahead and tell them. But don’t waste too many words, as you have more important things to do now than justifying your emotions.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Rather weird events involving your friends seem to be veering out of control today. Actually, your calendar may be the furthest thing from your mind with the spontaneous Aries Full Moon eclipse occurring in your 11th House of Social Networking. It’s not that you’re in denial; it’s just that you’re missing the clues that indicate there’s more going on than meets the eye. You could be having too much fun playing the role of a diplomat. Ultimately, it’s better to attend to your own business now than attempting to make things easier for someone else.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A temporary crisis at work may alter your plans for the weekend. But don’t let big changes stop you from scheduling some fun with your friends or associates. However, circumstances might require you to set firm boundaries. Take care of your own needs for fellowship and make time to hang out with like-minded people. Don’t be overly concerned about whether you can afford the time or the expense to treat yourself nicely. You are certainly worth it.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Normally, you act out your feelings, but it may be better to talk things out now before swinging into action. But don’t get lost in the details; the Aries Full Moon eclipse activates your 9th House of Big Ideas. Be bold in your thinking; leave no stone unturned when considering your current options. There’s no reason to hold back; stretch your mind and reach for new horizons. Today’s dreams can become tomorrow’s reality

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be high on life today, but your current confidence about your future is tempered by concerns about the past. You are being drawn into deeper emotional realms, which often makes you uncomfortable. However, you might actually be enthusiastic about exploring the shadows of your own subconscious now since the Aries Full Moon eclipse energizes your 8th House of Intimacy. The passions that rise to the surface will settle back down once you understand how they fit into the larger picture.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationship issues that you are avoiding come crashing out of the closet now. And although everything doesn’t necessarily go your way, you can sense that you’ve made it through the thick of it by the end of the day. Today’s Aries Full Moon eclipse falls in your 7th House of Companions, so stay with your emotional process even if you run into resistance from someone else. Don’t retreat if communication is challenging; establishing common ground is possible if you are patient and persistent

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You refuse to be bored today as you navigate your way through your demanding schedule. Although today’s Aries Full Moon eclipse rattles your 6th House of Routine, try to get in some rest and relaxation since next week may even be busier than last week. Don’t be afraid to redefine your boundaries and set new expectations based upon the unfolding events and how they impact your work.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your enthusiastic intentions are magnified by the Aries Full Moon eclipse that shines in your 5th House of Spontaneity today. Although you are looking toward the future with great anticipation, you’re also grateful to be living in the moment. However, you might be feeling more emotional than usual and may want to address these issues with a close friend or lover. Charm is on your side; just remember to use it wisely.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be experiencing unsettling flashes of uncertainty now, but this intense emotional weather might be exactly what you need in this moment. Your reactions are swift and self-protective as the impulsive Aries Full Moon eclipse lands in your 4th House of Inner Security. Meanwhile, others are depending on you in the workplace, and this motivates you to take on even more responsibility. Surprisingly, you become more determined throughout the day to stir up issues that can create positive change

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Tension develops on the home front as you feel real pressure to come through with your end of the deal. Perhaps you promised too much, but you’ll probably be able to get away with pulling back a little at work while you take care of personal matters. Today’s Aries Full Moon eclipse creates static in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, but don’t make the mistake of withdrawing from communication with others now; staying present is more than half the battle.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current priority is to plant your feet more firmly on the ground and claim your authenticity. Take advantage of today’s powerful Aries Full Moon eclipse in your 2nd House of Values by letting others know what really matters most to you these days. Concentrate on clarifying your core beliefs instead of compromising to keep the peace. Say exactly what’s on your mind now and everyone will respect your position and appreciate your honesty.

Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for Oct. 18th – 20th

Weekend Love Horoscopes

October 18-20: Identity Crisis

Maria DeSimone    Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

This weekend it’s all about the Lunar Eclipse in Aries. On Friday, this Eclipse will crash into your world and force you to confront the all-important theme of “Me versus We.”

You may feel emotionally out of sorts with this Eclipse if you’re not in touch with who you really are. When it comes to love, if you’ve been hiding in a relationship that really doesn’t fit with your deeper self you can expect the covers to come off now.

Alternatively, if you’ve been going out of your way to maintain independence at the cost of relationship, you might feel as if something important is missing. Are you ready to let love in? Or are you still worried that it’ll cost you yourself?

On Saturday, the Moon enters Taurus and throughout Sunday sensual comforts will help take the sting out of this emotionally-charged dilemma. Mars will oppose Neptune on Saturday, helping you to lose yourself in a sexual fantasy. Or fulfilling one.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 18th

Golden opportunities for success and achievement across the board are moving into place as the monthly Full Moon approaches (forming exactly at 4:39PM and activating 26 degrees of Libra and Aries). All the hours before this time provide a build-up of dynamic support for your most important tasks and plans.  A subtle and yet still mentally-expansive, 30-degree liaison from Pallas to Jupiter (3:23PM) gives this month’s solar-lunar high-tide cycle some extra pizzazz. Individual and group meditations are always recommended during a Full Moon — in order to receive and transmit the lofty divine vibrations to humanity hungry for enlightenment.  Once the Full Moon reaches its peak at 4:39PM, a void lunar twilight zone enters the scene and lasts until 12:28AM tomorrow. It is appropriate to keep sending out healing thoughts and prayers to friends, relatives and the kingdoms of nature.  Strive to keep your productivity going strong in favorite arts, crafts or hobbies as the Sun makes a contra-parallel to Ceres (8:20PM) and the Moon parallels Mars (11:36PM). Get ready to put ideas into practice once the Moon shifts from fiery Aries into earthy Taurus at 12:28AM on Saturday. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Superstitions of the Zodiac

Superstitions of the Zodiac

Learn the worst fears of every zodiac sign

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of insight, halloween, astrology

Black cats, ladders, Friday the 13th and Halloween traditionally get a bad rap among the superstitious. And of course, Astrology itself is a superstition to some people, too, isn’t it? What-ever.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Ever the pioneer, Aries loves to be first and hates having his or her view blocked by anyone. Sitting behind another person in a theater might be considered bad luck or, perhaps, getting caught on the slow line at the supermarket. When you see someone bolting out of the store rather than wait five minutes for a cashier, it’s probably an Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

No one likes life’s sensual delights more than a Taurus. This sign’s dominant superstition involves the need to have ice cream in the freezer at all times. A lack of chocolate might be particularly terrifying, motivating even the most laid-back Bull to get off the couch, rush out of the house and buy some premium creamy dessert to avoid catastrophe.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Many chatty Geminis are convinced that if they don’t use up all their cell phone minutes every month, they will be struck with terribly bad luck. Rollover plans are definitely a no-no as they can encourage a lax attitude when it comes to calling friends, family members and new acquaintances to discuss last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancers are the great collectors of the zodiac. They keep objects from childhood that most people would have tossed decades earlier. It’s bad luck, a good number of them might presume, to let go of your junior high school sweatshirt even though it’s full of holes and the building was torn down way back in 1975.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Leos love to be noticed … and remembered … and revered. It’s not only considered bad form to forget one’s name, even though you met them for two minutes at a convention of 10,000 people, but considered to be very bad luck for the Leo. Most Lions do whatever it takes to burn their name in your brain to avoid this danger.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Virgos are specialists in superstition, although they usually claim that they’re just being practical. An interruption in their carefully calibrated routine can ruin a day. If items aren’t put away in exactly the right place or if their hair or clothes aren’t perfect, this is no mere inconvenience, it can turn the most logical Virgo into an illogical mess.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Librans require peace and harmony and will sometimes short-change themselves (especially in relationships) to keep others happy. Many of them are convinced that if they get even the tiniest extra bit of love, attention, money, food or fun than their partner that they are doomed and will be punished severely for three lifetimes.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Scorpios are the sheriffs of superstition — the marshals of metaphysics — and they know that everything counts and will either work for you or against you. The shadow of a flying bird seen against a house, driving behind a 1983 Buick convertible or even catching the same Will and Grace rerun on two different channels can all be dangerous.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Sagittarians love to take risks, but they might be the most superstitious sign of all. They often have a string of them, like no petting of dogs on big days, no wearing green on weekends, or never checking luggage on trips to Hawaii. Of course, stuffing ginormous carry-on bags is considered perfectly normal and good luck, too.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Capricorns don’t have time for the foolishness of superstitions. In fact, they think it’s bad luck to be with a superstitious person and will do their best to avoid them. Unhappily for them, most of them marry Pisces, who turn their homes into something that looks like a cross between St. Peter’s Cathedral and a Buddhist temple.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Aquarians think that following rules is bad luck. If they’re in the “10 item or less” line with nine items, they’ll seek out two more things and return with 11 things. It’s clear that filing income taxes, going to the dentist more than once a year or carrying ID when driving is only going to get them into some serious trouble.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Pisces are superstitious about rainy days … and sunny ones, about stepping on cracks in the sidewalk or stepping between them. Consistency is the biggest danger of all, so changing their superstitions according to the phases of the Moon, local barometric pressure or the PH of their bathroom water is common.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, October 16th

Caution and uncertainty discourage us from initiating action early in the day, but the cosmic landscape changes, prompting impulsive behavior later on. Our irrepressible desires urge us to defy social convention as pleasure-seeking Venus aligns with radical Uranus. We’re even more willing to take a risk and express our feelings after the Moon shifts into spontaneous Aries at 9:17 pm EDT. Luckily, stepping outside of the box is rewarded now.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re quite determined to fulfill your heart’s desire, but you may be thwarted each time you make a move toward your goal. Fortunately, you are not so quick to give in to negativity now. Pick yourself up as often as necessary and start all over again. Your persistence will play out in your favor today if you have everyone’s best interests in mind.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your friends and coworkers might witness your stubborn side today, even if you aren’t expressing the real power of your desires. Perhaps you believe that what you really want is so far outside the range of acceptability that you refrain from telling them anything at all. Unfortunately, your discretion can make you feel disconnected from others. It’s not an all-or-nothing matter. Taking small risks will be rewarded if you’re willing to be patient.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are feeling a bit scattered as you jump into your chores with a whole new way of looking at them today. You’re not satisfied by just doing the same old thing in the same old way. Innovation is your game, but too much originality now might send you back to the drawing board. Try transforming your unconventional approach into a slightly more conservative one for the best results.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be drawn out of your self-protective shell today, you still could have mixed feelings about it. You are eager to engage with others as you share your deepest feelings, yet simultaneously wish you had more privacy. Even if you find it difficult to let go of your fear of being judged, this is a great opportunity to stretch outside of your comfort zone. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be feeling even more reclusive than others realize today. Everyone else thinks you are fully engaged, but you are actually keeping your most passionate emotions hidden. There is no need to satisfy anyone else’s expectations of you now. Be true to yourself and take whatever personal time you need. Sometimes you just have to work things out on your own.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tricky to keep your emotions in check today. Logically, you know what to do, but something motivates you to take a different course of action that brings you dangerously close to the edge of rebellion. Don’t waste too much energy doubting yourself now. Instead, speak up and surprise someone by asking for something you really want, even if it’s out of character for you. Be brave and let the words fall out.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A simple relationship issue is intensified today when someone lays his or her values on the line and then impatiently waits for your response. However, you are of mixed emotions now; although your key planet Venus is activating non-conformist Uranus, you’re still feeling some self-restraint. Your indecision may be insurmountable, so it might be wise to let the other person decide for you both. Choosing compromise over conflict is often your best instinct.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone might be pushing you into a situation against your will and you don’t like it one tiny bit. Events are unfolding too quickly and you resent being coerced. Although you seem willing to go along with the plan today, you may be cooking up your own resistance so you can plant your feet when the time is right. Don’t react too quickly, for your position will only increase in strength if you delay your response a little while longer.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may feel like a playday today, but behind the excitement lurks a more serious tone. Nevertheless, delicious Venus in your fun-loving sign is zapped by electrical Uranus, drawing your attention away from work and toward social pleasures. But you’re also quite aware that you have obligations that need to be taken care of before you go out and enjoy yourself. Normally, you are the one who tells others to lighten up and have fun, but now you should remind yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be caught between two opposing ways of responding to your current circumstances. On one hand, you want to reward yourself for your hard work. There are treats already waiting for you and it would be very easy to take advantage of what’s being offered. On the other hand, you may not be able to forget about your responsibilities, even if you have completed your chores. Indulge yourself for a change; you can always tie up any loose ends tomorrow.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Nearly everyone will find you more sociable and charming today, and you can use this secret weapon to move closer to your goals. Your key planet Uranus electrifies sweet Venus, putting a high-frequency buzz into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, someone might try to prevent you from having the fun you know you deserve. Acknowledge the resistance you perceive from others and take their feelings into consideration before charging ahead with your unconventional activities. The pleasure may still be well worth the consequences.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Take a leap of faith today and risk exposing your dreams to the outer world; your timing couldn’t be better. But don’t give up if you also receive a strong reality check in the process. Keep in mind that some of your fantasies may be better left unrealized. Nevertheless, others are unusually receptive to your ideas now, so move forward with your plans while you can. Step out of your imagination and into your future.

Moon Sign Compatibility

When it comes to finding love, look to the Moon

Tarotcom Staff   Tarotcom Staff on the topics of moon, love, astrology

When it comes to love, your Moon sign can help you meet your perfect match! After all, the Moon represents your true  emotional  side and the way you react to others in your relationships.

Your Moon sign is determined by the presence of the  Moon  in a particular zodiac sign at the time of your birth.

Astrology’s four elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) greatly help to determine your  Moon sign  compatibility, as the qualities within each element help  define the  person you are today and what you may be looking for in a  partner.

Moon in Aries

For you, it’s  all about “cut to the chase.” Quick-thinking and  straight-to-the-point,  you exude confidence while taking an active  stance in almost any  situation — Aries is a pure Fire sign  through-and-through! According  to Moon Astrology, you are your closest  match! Yes, a fellow Aries  would suit you well, as the two of you could  find romance while  playfully competing with one another. Bold and  strong-minded Fire sign  Leo also makes a match, while more sensitive  Moon signs Cancer or  Scorpio, do not.

Moon in Taurus

Taurus is known  for its stubborn nature, making it difficult to cut  through your  strong-will … especially in romance. But beyond that,  there’s a lover  of luxury and comfort (love goddess Venus rules over  you, after all).  If you can find another Taurus who shares in your  indulgences, that  would be great (and fun, too!) — but you could also  butt heads where  it really counts. Those with precise Virgo and  Capricorn Moons would be  a match — but a Libra Moon would find it most  difficult to carry on  its diplomacy through your more bullish  tendencies.

Moon in Gemini

Chatty Gemini  Moons are always moving from place to place, love interest  to love  interest! Your ruling planet — communicative Mercury — would  find  much fulfillment in Air signs Aquarius or Libra, feeding into your   desire to talk up a storm about high-minded topics at almost any given   moment. The more serious Capricorn or Scorpio Moon signs may pose a  challenge, and while dating a Pisces could be nice, both your flirty and   flighty similarities may equal just a fling.

Moon in Cancer

The Moon rules  over Cancer, making you one of (if not the most)  emotionally-charged  signs. Tapping into your feelings and the feelings  of those around you  is second nature, and so dating a fellow Cancer  Moon would create a  lifetime of a very nurturing, caring partnership.  Dreamy Pisces and  more inward Scorpio also makes a match, while brazen  Leo – even with  its brazen approach to self-expression — may prove too  much to  emotionally bear.

Moon in Leo

Your Fire sign is  also ruled by the Sun — the perfect recipe for one  self-assured Moon  sign! You want to be a leader, you want to make the  most out of any  given opportunity and you want your partner to take note  and appreciate  your strengths. An action-oriented Aries and optimistic  Sagittarius  make ideal partners who have enough confidence themselves to  keep up  with you, while stubborn Taurus or protective Scorpio do not  make the  best match.

Moon in Virgo

With  communication planet Mercury ruling over your Moon sign, you are   constantly critiquing and analyzing almost every situation and   conversation, and you love perfection — this desire for clean and   clear-cut may carry over in your relationships especially. A fellow Virgo or down-to-business Capricorn make good matches for you, while you may struggle with an Aquarius or Sagittarius Moon’s more light-hearted  and free-flowing approach to life and love.

Moon in Libra

Fair and balanced is your biggest relationship rule, as you are always  the diplomatic  lover, ruled by love goddess Venus. Aquarius and Gemini  Moons would  appreciate your harmonious requirements, still keeping with  your airy  and creative mentality. Aries, on the other hand, would not be   compatible with you, as the strong survival instincts of the Aries Moon   may find either of your running away in the face difficult times.

Moon in Scorpio

Deep and private  by nature, the Scorpio Moon is a motivated Moon with a  knack for sussing out information and details taking place under the  surface.  Your partner should think twice before pulling one over on you!  An  intimate Taurus or intelligent Virgo Moon would make a good match, appreciating and reciprocating your drive and desire, while an  independent Aquarius Moon may not appreciate your often suspicious ways.

Moon in Sagittarius

You love to  find joy, pleasure and enthusiasm in all of your endeavors,  and you  truly put your faith into matters of the heart. An open-minded  Gemini  or Aquarius Moon would suit your optimistic outlook in  relationships,  but an overly sensitive Cancer or stubborn Taurus Moon  could simply  bring you down.

Moon in Capricorn

Always  climbing, always reaching and always striving for the best … as  strict  Saturn rules over your Capricorn Moon, a more serious Taurus or  Virgo  Moon could understand and entertain your need to master your  endeavors.  At the same time, you may also appreciate a Cancer Moon’s  more  nurturing take on a disciplined home life. However, a Libra Moon  may pressure you to too much to come down from your mountain and meet in  the middle.

Moon in Aquarius

You are  calm, cool and collected — and you know how to handle  situations both  independently and by working together for a common  cause. A more  spontaneous and courageous Leo Moon could serve you well  by boosting  your strengths and supporting your individuality, while a  stubborn  Taurus or impatient Aries may not make the best match as you  continue  on your own personal search for revolution.

Moon in Pisces

Since you’re a  big dreamer and gentle by nature, the Pisces Moon will  not fare well  with another Moon sign as submissive and docile as you —  that rules  out a Sagittarius or Libra Moon. However, an intense Scorpio  or  efficient Virgo could be just the sign to snap you out of your dreams   and visions and bring you back to reality.

All About The Libra Personality

All About The Libra Personality

by Tarotcom Staff

Beautiful inside and out, Libra is the sign of partnership, ruled by the love planet Venus and symbolized by the Scales. Ever gracious, fair and balanced, Libra is an Air sign and among the most social and popular of the zodiac.

Libra’s popularity comes from their firm stance in the middle of the road, their ability to put people at ease, and a gift for sensing what others need before they even ask for it. In fact, Libra often sacrifices his or her own needs to please others.

Intellectual and diplomatic, Libra is a seeker of knowledge and an easygoing friend to all.

What we love about Libra

Libra is charming, graceful and fair, and their strong sense of right and wrong makes them popular with almost everyone.

Why Libra drives us nuts

Because Libra sees both sides of every situation, they have trouble making up their minds and can waffle when it comes to decision making.

Libra advice

We know how much you love to please others, but don’t forget to fulfill your own needs once in a while, too!

Most compatible matches

Balanced and breezy Libra is most compatible with equally independent and intellectual Air signs, including Gemini, Aquarius and fellow Libras.

Least compatible matches

Loving Libra seeks balance and harmony, which makes them least compatible with aggressive Aries, rigid Capricorn and moody Cancer.
