The cosmos continues to take a respite from its usual mode of fierce attack on earthlings. Yesterday was akin to a calm summer breeze and today is close to a walk in the park. The Moon in Aries is still void as this Thursday begins and it’s not until 9:23AM PDT that the lunar orb enters its exalted placement in earthy Taurus. Once the Moon enters Taurus, your green thumb begins to throb and the garden calls for attention. Cooking, baking and enjoying Mother Nature’s domain are in all in the cards right now. The area of life to be careful of is primary partnerships since the Sun in Gemini makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Juno in Scorpio (11:55AM PDT). Being pushy and manipulative with loved ones is taboo. Strive to be extra sensitive and respectful rather than critical and brusque. Meanwhile, arts, crafts and hobbies receive the good housekeeping seal of approval – courtesy of the Moon forming a parallel to Ceres (1:57PM PDT). This can be a great day to be productive across the board and add nutritious foods to your daily diet. Your creative imagination takes flight when the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with vision-enhancing Neptune (3:43PM PDT). Enjoy a night on the town with a significant other and let the good times roll!
Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 12
Pent-up tensions are expressed unexpectedly, suddenly changing the direction of our day. The Moon’s shift into excitable Aries at 12:21 am EDT puts us on edge and increases our need for adrenaline. Her stressful alignments with wild Uranus and passionate Pluto intensify our emotions, especially if we’re engaged in any kind of power struggle. Luckily, our flexibility can be the crucial key that turns a difficult time into a positive experience.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Trusting your natural talent to react in the moment without a lot of forethought enables you to turn a complicated situation into one that is beneficial for everyone involved. Just remember to respond to an unexpected change of plans at work without going overboard. There’s no need to convince anyone that you have everything under control, because you don’t. The good news is that no one expects you to have all the answers.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your fantasies are spilling over into your environment, challenging you to separate your real life from your dreams. It’s difficult to make a decision now because everything tends to look better than it actually is. Stop and listen to what others are saying; a reality check is a smart idea today prior to making any significant moves.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Someone can misread your intentions today, reminding you that judging a book by its cover is never a good idea. Your current behavior says one thing yet your heart says something else. Nevertheless, don’t blame others for misunderstanding your message. Trickster Mercury is still twisting your tongue into expressing your truth in a very convoluted manner. Fewer words now are better than too many.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may become drawn into other people’s business today, even if you usually try to avoid drama by keeping to yourself. Helping someone out sometimes is a slippery slope and being aware of your own feelings can prevent you from sliding too far and too fast. Putting up protective boundaries to maintain your emotional security isn’t necessary now. Thankfully, you can still be a friend without losing yourself along the way.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You feel so good about yourself today that you want to say yes to everyone and everything. You make friends quite naturally because your generosity of spirit is contagious. Nevertheless, a bit of self-restraint is necessary or your overconfidence can set you up for disappointment later on. However, demonstrating your responsible outlook on life may not be as much fun at first. Thankfully, setting priorities enables you to accomplish more than you expect.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you’re receiving sufficient support to go ahead with your project now, moving too fast only creates problems. Your friends and associates may be enthusiastic about your plans, encouraging you along your way. However, if you bolt ahead too quickly, you could actually end up at the wrong destination. Even if you’re eager to move forward today, taking your time pays off in ways you cannot yet imagine.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A friend or business partner may promise one thing today and deliver something quite different. You yearn for consistency now and really don’t like it when others lack follow-through. Your natural tendency is to graciously take it in stride, without showing your annoyance or anger. Nevertheless, it might be healthier to express your need for assistance from someone you can rely on. Your desire for harmony is admirable, but you still deserve respect just like everyone else.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Everything seems copasetic on the surface, but you may feel as if you took something one step too far. You can’t retreat; what’s already done is done. Keep in mind, though, that others may not be as judgmental of you as you are of yourself. You might not be able to avoid spinning your inner web of worries today, but remember that you don’t have to reveal your insecurities to anyone else. Things will look much better tomorrow.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
There is so much happening in your life now that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with every little detail. People around you may begin to annoy you, even if they are your friends. Try to look beyond your irritation, since you might be overreacting about something relatively insignificant. When in doubt today, express your thoughts by offering a positive perspective instead of venting your concerns. If your uncertainty lingers overnight, then find the right person to share your fears with tomorrow.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may feel as if you are being thrust forward like a rocket ship today, and you’re already way outside of your element. You really don’t want to do something if you aren’t ready, but you might not have the luxury now of saying no. Luckily, you can accept the challenges of new assignments without losing your footing. You are capable of reaching the stars even if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It’s so easy to fall in love these days that you might do it more than once. But allowing yourself to indulge in a romantic fantasy doesn’t necessarily mean that you must bring it out into the open. Your dreams are intense now, so pay extra attention to what’s happening to minimize confusion. There’s no need to express your desires to anyone else unless you truly feel ready to do so. Channeling your passion into a creative outlet will produce lasting results.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are hearing conflicting messages today from your own inner guidance system. Keep in mind that you are more sensitive now than usual and could also be picking up subtle signals from those around you. Even if you don’t have a clear plan in place, choose your next project wisely and get started. You can always make necessary modifications when you are further along in the process.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Today you will realize that it seems quite impossible to make any sense out of life, especially when you consider what life must be like in Nebraska.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Today someone will accuse you of spending too much time with your computer. The way to handle that is to say you’ve got “lots of work to do.” (And don’t let them spot you fondly caressing it.)
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Excellent day to do something new with bean curd.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
While poring over some old historical documents, you will discover that the Norman invasion was actually supposed to be the “Bob” invasion, but Norman stole the credit for it. Sadly, it will turn out to be too late to change it now.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You will soon accidentally discover why it is that so many things “taste like chicken.” It’s because they ARE chickens, in clever disguises.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Excellent day to shuffle your feet. Remember: it’s OK to shuffle your feet or to shuffle your cards, but you should never shuffle your nose.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Between now and the vernal equinox, trust anyone with freckles. After that, trust no one.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
The world will be dim and grey, and cold. Carrion crows will caw at you from the edges of the world, and deep cold water will rush by in rivers without names. Ahead, on the peak of a mountain, is a glimmering golden light. Either that, or you’ll get gum stuck to your shoe. (Sometimes these things are hard to read.)
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
People are starting to take you a bit too seriously. Try wearing your bunny slippers to work.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Excellent time to start a new company, making software to help people with mental problems. You will call it SchizoSoft. Your motto: “Who Do You Want To Be Today?”
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Someone who you really dislike, who is arrogance personified…will be nice to you. This is a good time to be afraid.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your requests are being ignored. Often you can get people to pay attention by simply adding a few words to the end of your request, such as “Pick up your socks, dear, or die screaming.”

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of June 11th
The weekend gets off to a mellow start with the mood-setting Moon traveling through easygoing Taurus on Friday and Saturday. Simple activities that calm the nerves and please the senses invite closeness. There is, though, a stubborn side to the Bull, making flexibility hard to find. The energy changes dramatically after the Moon shifts into airy and adaptable Gemini in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Keeping things light and breezy allows you to connect with others without going too deep.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Take a deep breath and slow everything down if you want to catch the love train this weekend. The Moon is moseying along in placid Taurus on Friday and Saturday when patience will be highly appreciated. Enjoy the sweet moments of life as if you have all the time in the world. Sensual activities like massage and music should be particularly satisfying, especially when shared with the right person. The pace picks up considerably after the evocative Moon moves into flirtatious Gemini early on Sunday morning.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Set work aside to indulge in pleasure during this delicious weekend. The Moon is shining in your sensual sign on Friday and Saturday to remind you of how desirable you can be when you’re not trying to make an impression. Delighting in nature, music, art or some good food with someone special enriches any type of relationship. It’s time to mingle if you’re single; celebrating the joy of being yourself is likely to attract plenty of interesting company. The Moon’s shift into flirty Gemini on Sunday morning won’t give you much time to rest. Put on your party shoes and dance!
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Try not to overload your schedule or exhaust your mind with too many plans and activities this weekend. The Moon is hanging out in tranquil Taurus and your 12th House of Privacy on Friday and Saturday, which is ideal for spending time alone or relaxing with an easygoing individual. You will attract more than your share of attention once the Moon enters your sociable sign on Sunday morning. But until then playing the strong and silent type is your best strategy.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
The company of supportive friends is especially welcome this Friday and Saturday with the dependable Taurus Moon occupying your 11th House of Groups. Participating in a community project or doing volunteer work is a wonderful way to meet someone new or to put your current relationship in a healthier place. Sunday’s lunar shift into your 12th House of Solitude is perfect for scheduling some quiet time alone or with one undemanding person.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
People are relying on you to be steady and responsible with the Moon’s presence in earthy Taurus and your 10th House of Authority on Friday and Saturday. Taking the initiative in organizing social activities puts you in a good light as long as you’re not too pushy in your approach. Keeping plans simple so you can enjoy yourself without having to worry about minor details shows off both your reliable and playful sides. Sunday’s Gemini Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups, indicating that the party is just getting started. Work can feel like play if you are mixing with the right crowd.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The sensual Taurus Moon is traveling through your 9th House of Beliefs and Faraway Places on Friday and Saturday. People and experiences from different cultures can provide a sense of adventure in a safe situation. Connecting with someone through a school function or religious event might also ignite sparks now. Sunday’s energy is different, though, with the jittery Gemini Moon hanging out at the top of your chart, inspiring your curiosity and overloading you with obligations.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Dealing with a stubborn partner could be a tricky issue on Friday and Saturday. The Moon in slow-to-change Taurus occupies your 8th House of Deep Sharing, which can indicate a difference of opinions over values, desires, sex or money. Luckily, patience and practicality are the keys that can open the door to intimacy. Avoid a direct challenge as a more subtle approach now will bring a much sweeter outcome. The air clears on Sunday morning when the Moon shifts into friendly Gemini and your 9th House of Adventure. Free your mind and the rest will follow.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Relationships are rocking this weekend, starting with the Moon in loyal Taurus and your 7th House of Partners on Friday. Projecting a calm sense of authority is irresistible to others, kicking a current alliance into a higher gear or attracting the attention of someone new. Practicing patience pays big dividends now so don’t put pressure on yourself or anyone else to make the magic happen. Committing to any one plan is tricky business once the Moon enters fickle Gemini and your 8th House of Intimacy on Sunday morning.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The earthy Taurus Moon in your 6th House of Service is not the ideal cosmic alignment for cultivating romance this weekend. Still, you could enhance your relationship life by effectively collaborating with someone on a project. Forget about making big promises, when sticking to the little ones is enough to make a positive impression. Sunday’s great for connecting with those you love since an early morning lunar transit into talkative Gemini and your 7th House of Partners gets the conversational ball rolling.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Clear your calendar of responsibilities so that you have plenty of free time to play this weekend. The sensual Taurus Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday is an invitation to open your heart and have some fun. You don’t have to do anything elaborate to attract the attention of someone new or to arouse interest from your current partner. Indulging in simple pleasures can be a special bonding experience. The Moon’s move into busy Gemini and your 6th House of Details early on Sunday morning gently reminds you to attend to practical matters.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might want to stick close to home on Friday and Saturday with the Moon sinking into your 4th House of Roots. A quiet retreat is likely to be more fulfilling now than being out and about in a noisy crowd. Entertaining at your place, though, could create some emotional magic. Sunday’s another story as flirtatious behavior comes naturally and you attract plenty of attention with the chatty Gemini Moon lighting up your playful 5th house.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
If you’ve been waiting for the right time for an important conversation, Friday or Saturday might do the trick. The Moon is in calm and reasonable Taurus and your 3rd House of Communication, giving you an excellent opportunity to express yourself clearly. Yet even a casual chat could lead to a deeper connection if you take the time to share what’s on your mind. Shaking things up at home helps make Sunday a stimulating and memorable day.
Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, June 10
We’re able to perceive very subtle messages today that we might otherwise miss, but being so sensitive can also create problems. The psychic Pisces Moon makes it difficult to tell if we are imagining something or if it is real. We may feel socially awkward as the Moon’s midday square with sensual Venus magnifies our desires. Nevertheless, we’re still inclined to act before we think as clever Mercury forms a magical quintile with impulsive Mars.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You had your heart set on doing something fun with your friends today, but as the time draws near, you might feel like bailing on your plans and taking some quiet time to contemplate your future. However, the universe encourages you to be more socially active now. Whatever happens, don’t get caught up in someone else’s drama. You can still find peace of mind as long as you pay attention to your own feelings, even in the midst of a noisy party.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may resist sharing your feelings because you don’t want your friends to think that you’re being negative. Maybe you’ve been waiting for the right moment to tell everyone what’s on your mind, yet it never seems like a good time. You might be annoyed today that you haven’t spoken your truth, and it is tempting to blame an outsider. Instead, take full responsibility for your emotions and express them without pointing your finger at anyone else. Others will appreciate your integrity once you’ve cleared the air.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are extremely susceptible to whatever your friends and family tell you now. Although your desires can be quite different from other people’s expectations, you don’t want to create a scene over a petty disagreement. However, your frustration may turn to anger if you decide to do what someone else wants rather than following your own instincts. It’s certainly smarter to get your feelings out into the open than to let them stew in resentment. The sooner you share what’s in your heart, the better.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your dreams are too big to keep hidden now and you might continue feeding them with your fantasies all day long. Unfortunately, your vision is too idealistic to integrate into your everyday life in a practical way. Nevertheless, your mental meanderings serve a definite purpose, encouraging you to explore all of the possibilities before you and all of the magic within. Allow your imagination to wander today; you never know where it will take you.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You seem to know exactly what to say and your words have a positive effect on others today. But even if you have a solid plan, you are likely to ignore it once a conversation starts. Stay in the present moment now rather than trying to follow a particular script. Step boldly into unknown territory, but beware that you probably won’t end up where you expected.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s challenging to concentrate on the details in order to make certain that what you’re working on today doesn’t fall apart. But you might be trying to exert too much control over things that just don’t matter in the long run. Instead of wasting time attempting to control external events, you’re free to focus your attention anywhere you want. Establishing sensible priorities now enables you to make progress more than anything else.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your overly dramatic attempts to convince your friends how efficient you are might backfire if you try too hard today. You are more likely to make an error in judgment now if you act under pressure. Adopt a more laid-back approach so you don’t appear desperate. Give yourself more time to finish your work and don’t worry so much about what others think.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It’s nearly impossible to know how you will react if a close friend brings a complex problem to you today. You really want to be supportive, but might discover that your eagerness to help quickly turns into resentment. Process your frustrations before they manifest negative consequences. Trust your instincts; you are more brilliant now than you realize.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may want a quiet day at home, away from your regular responsibilities. However, even if you attempt to schedule your weekend so that you have plenty of downtime, don’t be surprised if you end up taking on more than you planned. Compassion, rather than ambition, motivates you to help a family member, friend or even someone you don’t know. The more you give, the more you get.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your sixth sense is highly active today and it can be startling at first if you suddenly realize something that you haven’t yet been told. Remember that your regular rational approach won’t work now because you may not be able to explain your current insights. Instead of putting up defenses because you feel uncomfortable, stay open to the waves of intuition flooding your awareness. Don’t question this magical process; instead, act on a hunch as if you believe it’s true.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may be annoyed with someone who doubts the wisdom of your choices because it feels as if your core values are being questioned. Normally, you can stand up for yourself, but words seem to fail you now. The harder you try to make your point, the more flustered you are today. Take a few steps backward so you can regroup and then state your case. Defend your decision and let your performance stand on its own merit.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might be happier today if you don’t have too many prior commitments on your calendar. Naturally, you won’t be able to avoid certain responsibilities, but the less you have on your schedule now, the better. Just remember this isn’t about being lazy; it’s about staying attuned to your own internal clock rather than conforming to everyone else’s agendas.

Sunday, June 10, 2012
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Today you will realize that it’s impossible to truly “control” anything, even yourself, and that the best you can hope for is to have some “influence” over yourself and your surroundings. This will make you feel better, before the pink slip arrives.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
You’ve heard that when economists use the word “nice”, they’re actually saying that something is homoscedastic and nonautoregressive. Today you will find out what they mean when they say something is “like, totally kewl.”
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
You will be tickled without mercy, today. Oddly, you will not be able to see your assailant.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
You will try to alleviate the boredom you feel by making something creative with twine. Fortunately, it will work, but you’ll need a lot of twine.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
Good day to avoid pickled herring.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
It was a simple mistake, which anyone could have made. What’s more, now you know better. I think, though, that the expression is too widespread for you to actually get it changed to “never look a gift horse in either end.”
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Someone who you really dislike, who is arrogance personified…will be nice to you. This is a good time to be afraid.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
What fun! You’ll be called in to a special meeting at work soon, where someone will have a “pink slip.” Sounds like party attire to me!
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
You will go into business making those little sugar packets that restaurants use, and make a fortune. The restaurants will have to use fewer of yours than anyone else’s. Is it due to the pictures on the packets, of really fat people? Who knows.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
You will walk into a door frame today, and people will smirk. Remember though, they’re smirking with you, not at you.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You are about to have an unfortunate episode involving insects, grape Kool-Aide, and a revolving door.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Relationships are a lot like tables. One leg is love, one is trust, one is shared pleasures, and one is shared dreams. Lasting relationships need all four legs for balance, to hold up the burden of your troubles. In your case, though, you’ll never get rid of that irritating wobble.
Herbs For Every Sign
Herbs can be mixed and allbined to produce a “recipe” that’s just right for each of us. Since the Sun sign you were born under has such an amazing influence on your health and
well-being, using the herbs that correspond with that sign alone can be a tremendous help in
times of stress or illness. Here’s a short list of herbs that seem to be tailor-made for each of the
signs, due to their associations with both the planetary ruler and the positive qualities of that sign.
Aries – Mars
Allspice, basil, cayenne, garlic, ginger, mustard, onion, pepper.
It’s no secret that Aries is the astrological equivalent of a bullet.
It’s a red-hot burst of energy that’s capable of ove alling any
obstacle by charging straight for it. The ruler of Aries is Mars, the “red”
planet, the ancient god of war who was known for his equally fiery
temperament. No wonder, then, the herbs that correspond with your sign
are also a bit “hot” to the taste. Use them in cooking to raise your
endorphins, the substance Mars loves best.
Taurus – Venus
Apple, apricot, blackberry, cherry, heather, hibiscus, raspberry, rose.
Taurus is the sign that’s fondest of the pleasures that life inside
these bodies can provide. Whether it’s a blazing sunset, a symphony by
Mozart, or a delicious meal, you folks are experts at enjoying the
physical delights of the senses. It’s no surprise that the herbs you’ll
enjoy most are the sweet ones, since your planet, Venus, is the
purveyor of sweetness. Use each of them to satisfy that sweet tooth.
Gemini – Mercury
Clover, eyebright, fennel, lemongrass, lemon verbena, marjoram, parsley.
Your quick-witted, fleet-footed energy just loves variety – in fact, the
expression “variety is the spice of life” was written with you in mind.
Each of these herbs provide a different type of taste, and most can be
allbined in a light, aromatic tea you can sip on the run. Use clove or
slippery elm to protect against gossip and to keep your thoughts and
actions grounded.
Cancer – Moon
Aloe, lemon balm, chamomile, mimosa, lavender, lilac.
Nurturing is your business, Cancer, and you distribute your soothing
touch to one and all. There’s nothing you like better than a home that
smells good, too, whether it’s because there’s something wonderful
simmering on the stove, a vase of fresh flowers on the dining room
table, or a warm, fragrant bubble bath waiting for you upstairs. Each
of the herbs listed above are known for their ability to calm, heal, or
bring a wonderful aroma to the environment. Use aloe to soothe burns
and scrapes and chamomile for a wonderful bedtime tea.
Leo – Sun
Chicory, cinnamon, goldenseal, rosemary, St. John’s Wort, sandalwood.
Your planet is the Sun, Leo, the source of life and warmth that keeps
us all alive and provides us with the energy we need to keep pursuing our
life’s quest. It makes perfect sense, then, that the bright, cheerful
sunflower would be the perfect representation of your equally bright
and happy sign. Herbs like goldenseal and St. John’s Wort are tailor-made
for you, too, since their ability to keep the body resistant to illness
and depression are well known. Mix a bit of chicory with your morning
coffee to help remove any obstacles that up.
Virgo – Mercury
Caraway, dill, eyebright, horehound, lily of the valley, marjoram, savory.
Your quick-thinking meticulous sign likes nothing better than a mental
challenge, Virgo, whether it’s_mysticmagicspells.organizing a pile of papers at the
office, solving a puzzle, or learning a new skill. The herbs listed
above are all well known for their subtle abilities to strengthen the
mind, and many can be mixed together in teas to give you a boost you
often need at the end of a long day. The lily of the valley seems
perfect for you, too, with its subtle, “clean” scent and delicate flowers.
Libra – Venus
Catnip, passion flower, persimmon, rose, sugar cane, violet.
There’s no sign as fond of pleasing others as yours, Libra, whether it’s
by saying just the right thing to bring warring factions together, or by
using your polite charm to draw the object of your desires closer. Of
course, catnip is famous for its effects on our feline friends, but its
also traditionally used in conjunction with rose petals to bring loving
relationships that last forever. Since you’re ruled by Venus, you’re
capable of being every bit as sweet as the sugar cane – but if you need
a bit of help to attract a beloved, use this potent plant (sugar cane)
that’s long been used to conjure love – sweetly.
Scorpio – Pluto/Mars
Ginseng, dill, patchouli, pomegranate, saffron, vanilla.
As fond as you are of intensity and intimacy, Scorpio, it’s no wonder
the herbs you’ll love best are famous for their use in stirring up
passion. Drink ginseng tea (or offer some to your beloved) to induce a
magnetic physical attraction. Wear patchouli to arouse lust and silently
conjure the magic of the Beltane rituals. Present the object of your
desire with a pomegranate, the fruit traditionally associated with
seductive Pluto, your ruling planet.
Sagittarius – Jupiter
Anise, clove, fig, hyssop, mugwort, myrtle, nutmeg, rosemary, sage.
There’s no sign that hangs on to youth with more fervency and
determination than yours Sagittarius. To keep that youthful appearance
and disposition going as you travel the world in search of yet another
experience, drink a tea made of anise, rosemary, and Vervain. To aid in
making your dreams more prophetic than they already are, use mugwort.
Burn clove incense to attract the wealth you’ll need to pay for your travels.
Capricorn – Saturn
allfrey, horsetail, mint, poppy, sassafras, woodruff.
You’ve always been described as a very “focused” sign, Capricorn, intent
on self-sufficiency and material success. The influence of your planet,
Saturn, gives you the ambition and self-discipline to attain those
goals, and to ensure success and prosperity in business matters, too.
Each of the herbs mentioned above are known for their ability to attract
that success, and most can be mixed together in a tea.
Aquarius – Uranus/Saturn
Anise, bittersweet, citron, dandelion, lemon verbena, rosemary, sage.
Your sign is a cerebral one, Aquarius, and your ability to turn “odd” or
eccentric ideas into strokes of genius is well known. Since
allmunication (and mass allmunication in particular) is your specialty,
the herbs above are all associated with the air principle, which rules
the intellectual side of life. To increase your already powerful
intuition, use citron, clover, or rosemary. Above all else, listen to
that intuition. It will seldom prove to be wrong.
Pisces – Neptune/Jupiter
Aloe, bay, cotton, eucalyptus, lavender, Norfolk Island pine, rue.
As the most sensitive and psychic of all signs, Pisces, yours is the one
that requires help to ward off the adverse thoughts and intentions of
others. Since you have no boundaries to keep you separate from others,
you also need protection against negative influences. To that end, use
rue, a powerful herb known to ward off ills of every kind. To stay
positive and healthy keep a lavender plant growing either outside or
inside your home.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, June 9
We know what we want, yet our clarity fades as the Moon leaves futuristic Aquarius and slips into slippery Pisces at 3:21 pm EDT. We are confused, even by simple problems, especially when the Moon joins nebulous Neptune this afternoon. We are lured further away from the facts when we’re tempted to tell stories and share fantasies. Meanwhile a complex septile between bombastic Jupiter and electric Uranus reveals a surprising twist of fate.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You think that you have a handle on the events of the day, but you’re viewing reality through a very optimistic lens. Your certainty is misleading to others who take your words at face value. Be fair to all involved by acknowledging your disorientation today before creating additional trouble. Your happiness depends on your ability to be honest with everyone, especially yourself.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You’re currently concerned about losing your practical approach to finances or misplacing your good judgment about meeting responsibilities. Although you realize that your perspective is a bit off today, you still might not make the best choices. Ultimately, fuzzy thinking can weaken your position, so steer clear of unnecessary debates for a while. Putting off significant decisions for a few days is wise because you need additional time to clarify your goals.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your vivid imagination is in overdrive today as every separate event sparks cascades of unconventional fantasies. Enjoy the show, but be careful of becoming so entranced by the distractions that you begin to think that your flights of fancy are real. You might not want to stop daydreaming, but you can simplify your life by keeping the visions to yourself for now.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You might mistakenly assume that your plan is worthwhile as long as you’re receiving approval from someone else. A close friend may complicate your life by trying to change your mind while you’re in the middle of resolving an emotional dilemma. Unfortunately, others cannot understand how deep your feelings really run, especially if you don’t usually share your innermost process. Keep your best ideas quiet for another day or two until you’re more confident about where you stand. Evaluate your own priorities by listening to your heart.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Everyone seems a bit out of it today, but their vagueness says more about you than others. Although you are working harder these days to gain more clarity in your life, the truth still seems elusive. You tend to overcompensate by limiting your delusional thinking, reducing your own creativity in the process. There’s no need to be too judgmental. When you become more accepting of yourself, everything else will appear more positive, too.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may be feeling befuddled as you go about your chores today, but you’re struggling because you aren’t sure of your current role. Even if you have enduring routines, things are changing in ways that are difficult to understand. Instead of wasting time listing all the pros and cons of your situation, drop the analysis for now. Just show up and do what’s expected of you; set aside the major decisions until you’re more certain about where you want to go.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Although you might have a specific agenda when you wake up today, you’re likely to shift directions as the day unfolds. Trying to hold your focus grows increasingly complicated and can lead to frustration unless you’re willing to reconsider your goals and reinvent your strategy. However, even if you’re able to see into the future now, wait a few days until your feet are back on the ground before implementing anything new.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are happy to remain in motion today, yet you’re secretly unsure that you will have a place to stop and rest later. However, your best friends might not even notice your anxiety, especially if you believe that you’re doing others a favor by keeping your needs quiet. After all, sharing your feelings now would only complicate your life. But don’t blame anyone else for a lack of support unless you’re willing to disclose more of your emotional process. Confiding in someone you trust might ease your mind more than you think.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be quite sentimental about your memories today as a current experience reminds you of a forgotten past event. Unfortunately, nostalgia isn’t emotionally fulfilling now, so you might look forward to the big changes ahead. Think before you speak, and be careful that your outspoken approach doesn’t hurt an old friend or lover. Ultimately, letting go of the past allows you to move freely into the future.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A discussion with a close friend can be very fulfilling today. Normally, you’re attracted to practical conversations that can help you along on your journey through life. But now you’re more interested in sharing your fantasies with someone who won’t judge everything you say. There’s no reason to feel guilty about your desire to escape from reality. If you can let yourself go, you will return to your chores refreshed and ready to work.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It’s difficult to express yourself clearly today because your desires are bouncing all over the place. Unfortunately, once you start talking, you quickly display a wide range of emotions, challenging others to keep up with your mood swings. Nevertheless, a more thoughtful approach enables you to minimize any uncertainty that arises from a breakdown in communication. Exploring your feelings by writing in a journal is a sensible way to ground yourself before sharing your feelings.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The Moon’s shift into your dreamy sign increases your awareness today, allowing you to be even more intuitive than usual. But another person’s inability to comprehend your irrational approach to life might make you feel insecure now. It’s not necessary to respond to criticism or accusations; instead, be proud of your natural creativity, sensitivity and compassion.
