Your Horoscopes for Saturday, September 1

It’s hard to know what to think as the tug-of-war between reality and fantasy continues. The illusory Pisces Moon draws us into the realms of imagination. However, communication grows even murkier when rational Mercury opposes spacey Neptune this afternoon. It’s difficult to stay logical when we are immersed in the stuff of dreams. Relationships can get tricky now because there’s a fine line between sharing idealist visions and enabling delusions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You must find ways to express what’s in your imagination today with the surreal Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Fantasy. However, your current desire to escape reality also makes it difficult to follow through with your chores because you would rather be daydreaming than anything else. It can be quite a challenge to channel this slippery energy as material from your subconscious comes to the surface. Thankfully, fulfilling your obligations first frees you up to explore more interesting activities later on.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your life may appear quite differently to your friends than it does to you. Oddly enough, the more you try to unveil the truth of your feelings today, the more you confuse everyone else. Fortunately, if you can rise above your need to set the record straight, you could be an inspiration to others. It’s more important to cooperate with your cohorts now than it is to be right.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

A lack of clarity may cloud your thinking, but you should be able to make the most of your day anyhow if you pay attention to the potential pitfalls. You are ultra-sensitive now and irrational feelings are flooding into your thoughts. Even your sensory impressions can be overwhelming and confusing. Forget about balancing your checkbook or planning the rest of your life; write poetry, listen to music, and dream about your future, instead.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have fantasies about cutting loose and doing something special. If you haven’t had a real vacation in a while, maybe it’s time to start planning your next getaway. However, you must balance your dreams with a bit of realism if you want them to come true. But don’t be too hard on yourself if you cannot figure out all the logistics today. Let your vision grow unencumbered by facts for a while; there will be time later on to fill in the details.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Be careful because you may be easily misled today by someone you trust. Keep in mind that no one is out to purposefully trick you, but others can inadvertently confuse you if they don’t check all their facts. Furthermore, your logic is blurred by a sudden attraction to fame or fortune. But don’t be distracted by the possibility of your name in lights. Forget about ego concerns and concentrate on taking care of business.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ruling planet Mercury is stressed by its opposition to nebulous Neptune today. Your analytical thinking may not be as sharp as it normally is. In fact, reality could be just slightly out of your grasp now, with your mind working overtime in the realms of fantasy. This isn’t necessarily detrimental as long as you remember the difference between fact and fiction.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s quite a dreamy day with the Moon traveling through psychic Pisces, which should lighten up nearly any situation, especially if you can find a way to work off some of your excess energy. Your fantasies are so convincing now that it’s difficult to discern the truth. It’s not a great time to trust your own logical thoughts because they are more subjective than you might realize. Your antidote is to do something that allows you to physically engage in fun and return to the real work tomorrow.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your romantic landscape can become foggy and fraught with traps of misunderstanding today. Do your best to be clear in all your communications with others, without necessarily being overly aggressive about it. You could even fall in love with something or someone if you let your guard down. It’s probably safer to seek pleasure from the creative arts now than from relationships, for nothing is quite as it seems.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are already on your way to doing something exciting and daring today. You carry an air of spontaneity about you now — even more so than usual. Although your idealism might attract interesting people, it’s hard to find someone who shares your perspective. Don’t worry if you need to say no to a current offer. Limiting your options helps you to accomplish more in the long run than you thought possible.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It might be disconcerting if you cannot finish everything you want to do now. You have your sights aimed high, but you may be so unrealistic that you end up missing your mark completely. You could grow frustrated if you think you should be more practical. Just move forward slowly, because patience really is a virtue to strive for today.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might have some explaining to do today, but the more you ramble on, the less convincing you sound. Even if you prefer not to say anything at all, you may be enticed into spilling all the beans. Your words don’t quite paint the picture that you see now, so keep reminding yourself to craft your message carefully, make your point succinctly, and then stop talking while you’re ahead.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re carrying your feelings close to the surface now, but keeping up appearances just enough so that others aren’t aware of your emotional turbulence. Your guarded behavior is actually an effective tactic, but be careful not to send out too many mixed messages today. Postpone your most important decisions until your clarity returns later this week.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 31

We dream about reaching beyond our five senses today as the sensitive Pisces Full Moon at 9:58 am EDT lures us into the deep waters of cosmic consciousness. We are tempted to spiritualize our feelings and use fantasy as a navigational tool. But we fear losing touch with reality since the Moon’s opposition to the practical Virgo Sun tugs us back to our perceptions. Fact wins over fiction after logical Mercury slips into Virgo later this evening.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A stressful situation at work may activate old memories of past hurts, even if the current circumstances aren’t exactly the same. But your subconscious mind isn’t focused on the differences, creating a cascade of fantasies that bring up uncertainty or even fear. Thankfully, the Pisces Full Moon lights up your 12th House of Spirituality, helping to dissipate negativity and allowing you to be more fully present in what’s happening right now.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you need more attention from others today as the Pisces Full Moon illuminates your 11th House of Friends and Associates. However, you would be wise to depend less on everyone else and just do something extra nice for yourself now. Your feelings are on a rollercoaster ride and anything that you can do to help settle them down is a good idea. Being creative in your pursuit of pleasure is the key to your satisfaction.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

A confusing situation that develops on the job may have you ready to hide out at home as the Pisces Full Moon shines in your 10th House of Career. But you cannot just skip out on your work today, even if you’re feeling stressed. Instead of wishing you could retreat, change your attitude. Don’t try to second-guess what others want. Do what makes the most sense rather than trying to live up to other people’s expectations.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re particularly sensitive to the imaginative Pisces Full Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas because it stirs up visions of journeys to far-off places and distant times. Whether you’re experiencing sweet nostalgia for the past or a deep yearning for the future, today’s dreams are not about the present moment. However, these fantasies can shed light on your current feelings if you take time to explore the symbolism arising from your subconscious.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel the emotional stress associated with today’s watery Pisces Full Moon flooding your 8th House of Transformation. Unfortunately, you might not be ready to evolve in ways that are now being required of you. Intuitively, you know that the old road is changing as new paths appear. This could be a difficult transition, but keep in mind that your future happiness depends on your ability to let go of the past.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

With the Sun in your sign, today’s Pisces Full Moon occupies your 7th House of Partnerships, making it difficult to understand what’s happening in a relationship. Everything might not go exactly as planned. Your mind is illuminated with sparks of awareness that electrify your feelings. Once awakened by the truth, it isn’t easy to go back to sleep. If you need to make changes in a relationship, at least remember to be kind in the process.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A co-worker might be working to undermine your efforts today with the Pisces Full Moon influencing your 6th House of Employment, yet it’s difficult to uncover the details of who or why. Something unexpected may occur on the job that suddenly brings a new awareness to the current situation, but everything doesn’t necessarily come to the surface. Focus on what is already on your plate. Don’t waste your precious energy trying to fight an unknown enemy.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

People you know are coming out of the hidden corners of your life, bringing light and energy to you. The imaginative Pisces Full Moon brightens your 5th House of Fun and Games today, offering a sense of spontaneity that is charging up these supportive relationships as they add excitement to your sometimes quite-serious world. Forget about being in control now; let go and have a good time.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you’re obsessing about long-term objectives, your career can have a negative impact on your home life today. However, the Pisces Full Moon occupies your 4th House of Domestic Conditions, highlighting family issues that may require you to readjust your priorities. If you are too focused on your work and your role out in the community, this is a fantastic time to make changes to bring your life back into a healthier balance.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The visionary Pisces Full Moon in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment reminds you to push beyond the social constraints that often make you feel safe. However, comfort is not the answer. You are pushing the edges of the envelope and opening to new and exciting experiences. This isn’t because you want to right now, it’s because you have to. Let go of old memories so they can no longer prevent you from feeling free and happy.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may struggle with a financial decision today as the elusive Pisces Full Moon floods your 2nd House of Resources. You might need to rethink your strategy if you discover that your facts are wrong. But instead of isolating yourself with your worries, lean on someone you trust. Others could come through with the exact information you need now to make the right choice.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s extremely difficult to hold back the flow of feelings now as the Full Moon shines in your 1st House of Personality. You are probably displaying your emotions, whether you intend to or not. The problem is that your moods can fluctuate faster than greased lightning, so what you say may not reflect your needs just an hour or two later. Thankfully, you don’t need to justify yourself every time you change your mind.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Aug. 31 – Sept. 2

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

The Calm Before The Storm

August 31 – 2

 

Feelings flow freely with a Full Moon in dreamy Pisces setting the tone on Friday morning. This lunar opposition to the Sun in realistic Virgo represents a potential conflict between emotions and obligations. Make the time to take care of business so that it doesn’t get in the way when you’re ready to play. Imaginative Pisces can spur romantic feelings that flourish in a fantasy world. Getting away from ordinary activities to tap into the magic of music, art, and nature help us let go of stress, drop resentment or anger, and connect in uncomplicated ways. The Moon’s dynamic square with enthusiastic Jupiter adds optimism to Friday evening, encouraging adventurous behavior.

We can float through Saturday on the wings of imagination before a late night lunar entry into fiery Aries kicks into gear. We’re out of the clouds and into a world of immediate and strong reactions. This may be exciting, but it’s unlikely to be calm or peaceful. Breaking ground by connecting with someone new or pushing the social envelop has its risks.

Sunday’s especially complex with the Moon’s stressful midday aspects to provocative Pluto and rebellious Uranus pushing us to extremes. Freedom needs rise along with restlessness that’s best met by exploring different kinds of people and experiences

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 29

Intense passion drives us to accomplish more as the willful Sun harmoniously trines powerful Pluto. However, we’re not likely to run around and waste energy doing many things. Instead, clever Mercury’s cooperative sextile to taskmaster Saturn enables us to focus our intentions with great precision to make something dramatic happen. Meanwhile, today’s intelligent Aquarius Moon encourages us to take an innovative approach to all that we do.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are committed to getting ahead at work today and not much will stand in your way. Although your enthusiasm inspires you, you’re able to balance your confidence with a grounded sense of reality. You would be smart to get busy now while you have a practical outlook on what you need to accomplish. Don’t wait for others to jump in to support you; the sooner you start, the faster you’ll reach your destination.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your romantic urges are strong now and there’s not much to hold you back from expressing what’s in your heart. You’re attracted to the idea of romance, yet you have a very pragmatic approach to a relationship that you want to enliven with meaning. Exploring the possibilities in your imagination is exciting, but it’s not enough. Finding a way to turn your desires into reality is what really counts.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your loyalty to your home and family may come to the forefront today as circumstances require you to supply a shoulder for someone to lean on. But every little thing you do now has more consequences than you expect. Think first before you respond so you can accurately express your deepest convictions. Others will appreciate you more when you take the time to show that you really care.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be ready to deepen a commitment today, something is telling you to wait. Of course, you won’t likely listen to this cautionary voice of reason because you are feeling self-confident now. Even if you believe that you know exactly what steps to take next, there’s still a part of you that just wants to have fun. Remain open to events as they develop and remember you might have to change your plans along the way.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be choosing to wear that generous heart of yours on your sleeve where everyone can see how much you have to give. They can also tell how much you need to be appreciated and loved. Your openness is a double-edged sword now. Strong desires motivate you to take action right away, but you must moderate your behavior. Pay attention to others so you don’t inadvertently hurt anyone as you seek emotional and sensual fulfillment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Sometimes intense emotions tempt you to act defensively so no one realizes how strongly you’re feeling today. The basic problem with this strategy is that your deeply rooted passions may get buried in the process. Letting others know your feelings can seem like risky business because you don’t want to appear inappropriate. Nevertheless, it’s safer than you think to be vulnerable now, so listen to your heart and do what it says.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are a champion at lightening up the atmosphere when a discussion gets down and dirty. It’s not because you don’t find meaning from the mysterious hidden places — it’s natural for you to try to balance the energies. Nevertheless, you’re being pulled into a powerful tidal current of complex feelings — and you might not be able to swim your way around it today. Flow with the emotions and keep breathing. You’ll emerge with a new perspective if you stick with the process.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The radiant Sun harmonizes with your key planet Pluto today, shining a light on that which is hidden. Passionate Pluto symbolizes the dark mysteries that might be scary because of ignorance. However, it’s time to muster up an extra dose of courage and head down into the darkness of your own subconscious mind. Once you know the truth your reality grows brighter.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not be feeling as optimistic as you wish today, but you can rely on your strong inner resolve no matter what’s happening in your outer life now. Your core beliefs are changing for reasons that you might not yet fully understand. Let go of those things that have already begun to slip away. Don’t attempt to stop the process because room is being made for new opportunities that will soon enter your life.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have the endurance to hold your own position, even in these stormy seas of change. You can feel the instability all around you. But there isn’t anything coming at you that is necessarily harmful. Be ready to dance with the unknown, for if you try to ignore the music, it will play louder and louder until you cannot shut it out. Ultimately, your willingness to experience what’s happening in the present moment will enable you to move gracefully into the future.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel waves of emotions wash over you in a very unpredictable way today. Your feelings are often quirky anyway, but now you’re getting strange emotional reactions that are unlike your regular feelings that come and go. All emotions rise and fall like the tides, but this could seem more like a tsunami. Nevertheless, it’s wise to go with the flow for a few days until the energy settles back down.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s a smart idea to pull back from the maddening crowd today; however, it’s difficult to escape because you may be in over your head with unfulfilled promises. But if you can’t go on a retreat now, at least cultivate a spiritually conducive atmosphere wherever you are. Religious or spiritual ritual can enhance your day, so make time for quiet meditation or get outside in a natural setting that is good for your soul.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 28

We attempt to keep the lid on reality today with the Moon in conservative Capricorn, but things get strange when she shifts into eccentric Aquarius at 1:38 pm EDT. Meanwhile, shocking Uranus is activated by Mercury, Venus and Mars, triggering new ideas, as if lightning is striking within our brains. Still, it’s difficult to stay emotionally detached, even if we try to maintain objectivity. More is happening than meets the watchful eye.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your life seems to grow crazier today, as if everything hasn’t been weird enough already. You have a lot to do now, but others may not realize exactly how much you have on your plate. The good news is that you can compress time and accomplish a lot, especially when the pressure builds. Try to set a manageable pace for yourself, even if it’s difficult to stick with your original plan.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in a stressful frame of mind today and things that are usually fun and easy may become the source of anxiety. You might do better if you are willing to let go of your preconceived agenda and roll with the incoming waves of emotional intensity. An unexpected event could be a signal that something is off-kilter. If anything goes wrong now try to understand the deeper message. Staying open to change allows you to make the most of the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Circumstances grow more intense as you are pulled in multiple directions. You want to keep your attention on a specific task today, but chances are that you might be easily distracted. However, you may not be able to resist the temptation. Just remember to put yourself back on track as soon as you realize what has happened. Making the necessary adjustments throughout the day enables you to rise above the noise and reach your goals.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have an innate sense of knowing when the emotional tides are changing. You can feel it in your stomach; you just know something’s going on. Although your tendency now may be to say too much rather than too little, there are things that must be brought out into the light of day. Speak as kindly and respectfully as possible. Playing the guilt card won’t improve the situation.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are experiencing a metaphorical changing of the guard; one phase is over yet the next one hasn’t yet begun. In this time of being in between worlds, you have an opportunity to react to the circumstances as they unfold, without being anchored down by your own emotional baggage. Take the developments in your life slowly, for they are important ones and you really need to respond in a thoughtful manner.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Things seem to be getting better today, but the final outcome depends totally upon you. It’s good news if you’re willing to let go of people or things that no longer serve a meaningful purpose. It’s also time to say goodbye to those aspects of your personality that impede your progress. Bring whatever makes you feel tense to the surface so you can deal with it out in the open once and for all.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If someone seems erratic to you today, remember that you’re the one being zapped by unpredictable Uranus. Anything that happens out of the blue now is pointing the way to hidden stress that needs to be released. Even if things seem crazy, it’s time to take a serious look at your personal and professional relationships. Don’t stand in the way of change. Be bold and stir up anything that feels stuck so that you can break free from old patterns.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your nervous system is buzzing today. You may feel as if you’re trying to choose between wanting to participate in a group project and needing your personal freedom. However, it’s exciting to be involved with something larger than your individual interests. Allow yourself to experience the energy of sudden change rather than attempting to avoid it. You will feel revitalized when the edginess settles down tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unexpected romantic conflict might surface today and have impact on other areas of your life. If there are relationship tensions brewing now, this is a time when they may suddenly blast into your awareness. But you aren’t eager to show your vulnerability. Although this emotional exposure could be unpleasant at first, it’s catalytic and certainly can lead to positive change. Clearing the air opens the doors for amazing opportunities to follow.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are attracted to a wide variety of new ideas during this topsy-turvy time. Something that you might have judged negatively during another period in your life now makes total sense. You are becoming more aware of innovative concepts that are normally outside of your comfort zone. If you allow yourself to entertain intellectual possibilities today, exciting experiences could follow. Let yourself experience the buzz, even if you choose not to act on it.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You feed off of the energy of a group, but you don’t actually feel as if you’re part of it. Sometimes, when others are stressed you are just excited about the potential. You need to stay open to big changes now because things will only grow more unstable if you try to hold on to the safety of old habits and structures. Let go of those things that are holding you back to make the upcoming transition as smooth as possible.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to expect the unexpected, even if you are comfortably settled into a relationship. Of course, knowing how to second-guess what’s around the corner remains a mystery. Your need for freedom of expression is strong now, so anything can happen. If you have tied your future to a narrow band of expectations, then you could be in for an abrupt surprise. But if you remain open to new possibilities, today’s awakening can carry you along toward your destination in life.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 27

What we do now has consequences in the future, and the ambitious Capricorn Moon reminds us that the most reliable way to ensure success now is to work hard until it pays off. Although the Moon symbolizes our fluctuating moods, we try to gain stability by building and reinforcing structures in our lives that don’t change. Meanwhile, our assumptions are challenged today as logical Mercury aligns with evolutionary Pluto and revolutionary Uranus.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a lot to do today, but your responsible attitude goes beyond the normal business hours. Your top priority is to finish your chores, so make a list of all your tasks and stay focused until you have made a serious dent in your work. Put your stress to use by pushing extra hard to tie up any loose ends now. Don’t delay because your reservoir of energy could dissipate later in the week.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you are meeting resistance wherever you go when you would much rather be spending quality time with a close friend or partner. But others might seem emotionally cooler now as they set up roadblocks to delay your possible satisfaction. Try not to get too worked up over the stress. Instead, concentrate on the love that is in your life; celebrate the cup being half-full instead of complaining that it’s half-empty.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your greatest concern now is that you can’t pursue every curiosity that pops up in your life. Your time and energy are limited by circumstances beyond your control, and your current situation may prevent you from being as footloose and fancy free as you prefer. Yet, behind the apparent frustrations, important changes are occurring in your private inner world, so don’t stand in the way of progress.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional neediness could prevent you from finding happiness now, for it is not likely that others will meet your expectations. This is not as bad as it might sound since the real lesson here is about learning what you can give yourself. Use your time wisely to clearly define what you want from a relationship. If you are already in a close partnership of any kind, you may need to back off a bit to allow everyone involved more breathing room.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It seems as if your life is going to settle down now, but this may be a premature judgment. Even if you see solid movement in your career, there are unexpected twists and turns in the path you have chosen. Be smart and prepare for whatever you might find once you get around the next bend in the road. Your ability to analyze the facts and decide what is most important will help you through this difficult phase.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Some people mistakenly think that creativity originates only from the wellsprings of inspiration. However, the source of your creative streak may be triggered from your desire to finish a project now. You know what you want and you have the ability to transform your professional ambitions and romantic urges into serious practical manifestations. Whatever you do today, be certain that it is done with a greater purpose in mind.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Tension finds its way to the surface today, even if you are trying to maintain stability at home or in your relationships with your family. But a disruption to your routine might not be such a bad thing if it puts you in touch with repressed emotions. Don’t resist your feelings now, even if they make you uncomfortable. Increased awareness facilitates positive change that may already be overdue.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be facing two very different issues now. On one hand, you are redefining your own boundaries — and this can lead to increased isolation for a while. On the other hand, a parade of amazing revelations prevents you from slipping into self-pity. Ultimately, you’re amused by the soap opera that is your life. This is a very healthy attitude since personal growth is possible if you reduce the drama by cultivating some emotional detachment.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although self-criticism can be a powerful motivation at certain times in your life, it just slows you down now. If your typically high self-esteem is presently faltering, make a deal with yourself to travel the depths of your subconscious. Decide what’s most valuable and then come back up to the surface refreshed and ready to work for what you want.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Waves of intense feelings wash over you, but your tendency is to strengthen your tide walls so you can shut off the flow of emotions. You may be afraid that if you allow these feelings to rise to the surface, they will destabilize your personal world in ways that are not easy to manage. However, the more you try to hold back your irrational emotions, the greater the possibility of unwanted changes. Relax your resistance; you can learn what you need to know by trusting your inner wisdom.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone may be trying to control your behavior today, yet you don’t seem to have enough information at your disposal to resist with confidence. There are hidden pieces to the puzzle now and it’s difficult to fight an unseen enemy. Rather than actively arguing point by point, it’s more productive to hold on to familiar routines for a while longer. The truth becomes clear soon enough, and there will still be time enough to act when it does.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are being prohibited from expressing yourself as freely as you would like today, yet this restraint ironically works in your favor. If you say whatever is on your mind now, you could inadvertently offend the people that mean the most to you. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Patience is your best friend; proceed slowly and with great intent.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for August 27

In the dance between intellect and emotion feelings come out on top this weekend. Friday’s Full Moon in imaginative Pisces overwhelms logical thinking with desires to connect with others and to escape the world of work and reason. Yet allowing dreams to overcome reality can lead to an abrupt awakening with disruptive lunar aspects on Sunday adding a bit of shock value to our lives.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may spend much of the weekend feeling like an outsider with the mysterious Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Obscurity until late Saturday night. Time spent alone or with one inspirational person provides the quiet and contemplative space you need. Then the Moon blasts into your incendiary sign to pump you up with excitement. However, tough lunar aspects with outer planets Pluto and Uranus can expose secrets and spring surprises on Sunday.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Misreading the intentions of others is possible on Friday with a hypersensitive Pisces Full Moon and an edgy aspect involving your romantic ruling planet Venus. Her semisquare with the willful Sun represents wounded pride if you take critical comments to heart. But this is more about proving your worth to yourself than seeking external approval. Treating yourself with tenderness is the best way to get everyone else to do the same.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

A major breakthrough in relationships is possible with Friday’s Pisces Full Moon illuminating your 7th House of Partners. What you may realize is that feelings count more than facts and that you shouldn’t let petty issues get in the way of your instincts. Forgive and forget if that’s what it takes to let go of an old wound. Imagination will inspire you to get closer with the one you’re with or allow you to connect with a kind and creative new person.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You need a little love and tenderness this weekend with Friday’s delicate Pisces Full Moon occurring in your 7th House of Partners. Don’t sweat the small stuff since there may be more important issues at stake. Overlooking petty differences creates a magical connection but it can be easily broken by unnecessary criticism.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationship action gets hot and heavy on Saturday night when the Moon fires into irrepressible Aries and your 7th House of Partnerships. You could be more impulsive than usual or connect with individuals who lack patience. The line between flirting and fighting grows very thin now, turning attraction into aggression if you take things too far. Still, it’s better to make waves by standing up for yourself than accepting unkind treatment. Loving yourself enables others to love you too.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your sex appeal is off the charts with Friday’s hypnotic Pisces Full Moon lighting up your 5th House of Romance. You can create your own fantasy world and attract companions to play with you in it. Coming across in an easygoing way makes you especially desirable. Demonstrating your generosity and being undemanding is a great way to gain trust. Don’t focus so hard on your own desires that you fail to recognize what others want.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Laying low until late Saturday night gives you a chance to grab plenty of rest to prepare for the action to come. Once the Moon fires into spontaneous Aries and your 5th House of Romance let the fun and games begin, especially when they involve new people or activities. You can grab attention in an instant but if you aren’t careful, you might kick up some opposition with tense lunar aspects to rebellious Pluto and Uranus on Sunday. Stop and think before you overreact.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Conversations rooted in compassion where you listen with your heart are the keys to making romance happen this week. The spiritual Pisces Full Moon brightens your communicative 3rd House on Friday, warming you with tenderness. Read between the lines to get the real meaning of what’s being said instead of skimming the surface. Being fully present with your eyes and ears creates deeper connections that go beyond words.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon traveling through your sign from Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon brings your feelings to the surface. But simply putting them out there might not get the desired response. Tense planetary patterns encourage unvarnished honesty, which isn’t easy for others to take in. If you consider the impact of what you’re about to say, you can find gracious ways to express yourself that are more likely to be understood and appreciated.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s no keeping your emotions out of sight on Friday with an expressive Full Moon in your super-sensitive sign. If you’re in a good place now, this vulnerability can make you especially enchanting to others. However, self-pity is not going to help your cause, so work out the hard stuff privately instead of displaying it to the world. Besides, the highest potential of this Full Moon is found in recognizing that you need to take responsibility for your feelings. Your happiness is found in your own heart.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 24

We are just as easily misled by our own perceptions as we are by someone else now that the Sun opposes illusory Neptune. We could convince ourselves of almost anything we want to believe. Although we grow more creative as our imaginations run wild, it’s tricky discerning fact from fiction. But we don’t have to seek an escape route today; it will find us. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon reminds us that we can journey to places that offer us hope.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to negotiate for the common good today, but you’re not ready to set aside your personal needs. You know all about your financial bottom line and may be afraid of reaching it. But don’t worry; things are not as grim as they appear. Try not to make too many impulsive judgments until you have all of the facts. Acting too soon might lead you into trouble you can simply avoid by planning in advance.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The adventurous Sagittarius Moon is fueling your emotional renewal, yet there’s also another influence bubbling up today. Nebulous Neptune brings a highly spiritual kind of love to your relationships, even if your friends confuse you with their actions. Fortunately, you should be able to draw on your common sense to get some perspective. But don’t pretend you know exactly what’s going on now; stay in touch with your uncertainty, even if it makes you uneasy. There’s magic to be found if you can surrender to the unknown.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may find yourself swinging back and forth between the largest possible view of life and the most specific details. Your imagination soars today, allowing you to see every issue from a global perspective. But it’s difficult for you to act on a grandiose vision. Bringing your mental meandering back down to earth will be rewarded now. Find small ways to move toward the big picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as resistant to change as your co-workers think. After all, the Crab’s daily rhythms are intimately connected with the constantly shifting tides. But today, as emotional currents finally shift, it may be challenging to tell which way the waters will ultimately be flowing. Hold on to your current position for now. Wait a few days until the confusion clears before taking action.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If a close friend or partner is hard to read, it may be that your own confusion is broadcasting mixed messages which now echo back to you. If you are uncertain about a relationship, don’t fall into the trap of pretending that everything is OK. By covering up your feelings today, you are setting the stage for more misunderstandings to surface later on. Be honest about what you need while also imagining the best possible outcome.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your spiritual energy is growing stronger and metaphysical interests may take on greater significance these days. Subtle changes are occurring now, even if their effects aren’t yet visible. Although there are big shifts on the horizon, they are already being activated in your subconscious. Quit worrying about the details today to fully benefit from what’s happening in your imagination.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are the uncontested champion of the balancing act, yet today you’re feeling unsettled as the cosmic conflict between the willful Sun and confusing Neptune now pulls you in two directions. Part of you is ascending into the spiritual realm as another part handles the very real limitations of the material world. You may idealize the situation, yet it is crucial to try to see things as they truly are. Honoring both sides — the invisible and the tangible — ensures that you’ll be ready for whatever happens next.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not know where you are going these days, yet your role in the outer world is still very important to you. You wonder if you should pursue your career or place more attention on the spiritual dimensions of your soul. There are no quick and easy answers to this existential dilemma. Simplify the issues as much as you can and then let yourself feel what it’s like to linger in your own uncertainty. The longer you sustain the mystery, the easier the resolution will be when clarity finally arrives.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often drawn toward the grandest ideas, since you enjoy living your life in a big way. You may not always attend to all the details, and sometimes they can come back to haunt you. You don’t have the inclination to return from your current dreams yet if you’re wandering on the outer edges of the universe. However, you might not have a choice if the hard cold truth requires you to pay close attention. Take your cues from reality and do the responsible thing.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The inspirational Sagittarius Moon tends to pull you away from more practical realms. It may be more difficult to keep both feet on the ground now with magical Neptune lifting you into the clouds of illusion. You might be required to solve complicated problems involving your relationships with friends or co-workers. Stick to the facts because there is great potential to misunderstand each other’s basic values. Listening with your heart helps to keep you on track.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

One-on-one relationships are a source of confusion today, especially if you don’t listen to what others are saying. It takes extra effort to hear the truth because your words can get in the way of the message. But don’t force your perspective on anyone else. The solution to the current tension comes from recognizing multiple points of view and allowing them to exist side by side now without panicking.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are quite wise to attend to the rigorous demands of your life by taking concrete action and checking off each item on your list of things to do. The truth is that you may find it very challenging to maintain focus today as the Sun opposes your key planet Neptune. You would rather spend time daydreaming, reading a book or going to a movie. Finish your work first; you can fully enjoy guilt-free time afterward to activate your imagination.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 24

Recall that a void lunar uncertainty zone in Scorpio started early yesterday and lasts until the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius (3:51AM PDT). Before the lunar entry into the adventure-seeking, ninth sign of the zodiac, the cosmos wants you to get back on track with investments since Mercury forms a 60-degree rapport with Vesta (2:11AM PDT). It is best to utilize the constructive features of this Moon-Vesta connection after the Moon sets foot into Sagittarian territory.  After the Moon is firmly in Sagittarius, you may feel the urge to solve problems and conduct strategy sessions with respected teachers, mentors or friends as Ceres makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (4:12AM PDT). Some of the hoopla, enthusiasm and joy present in Sagittarius Moon become temporarily stifled during the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 2 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius at 6:55AM PDT). Your present goal is to cut through apparent obstacles in your physical and emotional realms. Manage your business affairs with greater finesse.  Some additional worries can catch you napping around 4:39PM PDT when Venus makes a frictional, 135-degree link to dreamy Neptune. Be more sensible in romance and concerning money-making ventures under this somewhat uncomfortable Venus-Neptune interaction.  Meanwhile, your intuition and ingenious mind are fired up as the Moon makes a flowing trine to Uranus in Aries (5:13PM PDT). If you add on tomorrow morning’s Moon trine to Mercury in Leo, then a Grand Triangle is developing in fire signs overnight that can give your psychic batteries a healthy recharge.
