Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, Jan. 1
Stop, look and listen intently as a New Year dawns. Even though the Moon is in assertive, dynamic and fiery Aries, last night’s Mercury-Mars face-off as well as the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase may be making you see double this morning. While caution was definitely a key watchword in the previous 24 hours, a thaw seems to be in the cards as the Sun forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with beautiful, ringed Saturn (12:19AM PST) while the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie to love-enhancing Venus (7:04AM PST) and the Moon also chimes in by making a mind-expanding parallel to giant Jupiter (10:23AM PST). Literary and educational pursuits look promising tonight – courtesy of a flowing trine of 120-degrees between the Moon and Mercury in fire signs (8:57PM PST). If you are feeling a sense of constraint and limitation and don’t know why, you may want to chalk it up to a close Jupiter-Saturn polarity – from early Taurus to late Libra – that will never reach an exact opposition. For the next two weeks, these two largest planets in our solar system will appear to be approaching a 180-degree connection, but they will fail to do so because Jupiter’s forward speed will start increasing more than Saturn’s pace as the latter slows down and gets ready for a retrograde station on February 7. Nevertheless, Jupiter and Saturn already opposed one another twice in 2010 and once in March 2011. Therefore, the near-miss they are experiencing now is welcome news for all of us.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 31st
The year 2011 is now going to end – not with a whimper, but more likely a bang. The reasons are numerous. First of all, yesterday’s void lunar adventure in watery Pisces ends at 1:49AM PST this morning when the Moon enters fiery, assertive Aries. Thus, this last day of the year carries the essence of independent, forceful Ram-vibrations. Meanwhile, the Moon quickly unites with Uranus (3:29AM PST) – the radical-change agent planet that also stimulates liberation movements, one of the major themes around the globe during the past 12 months. Emotional storms as well as some partnership upheavals can coincide with a Juno-Pluto 45-degree connection (5:30AM PST). Later on, the best alignment today occurs when Mercury in Sagittarius forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Chiron in Pisces (5:16PM PST). Hang on to these healing, revelatory and soulful energies as you may need them during the remaining evening hours. The key challenges tonight – which could short-circuit vital communications and coincide with some psychic meltdowns – come from Mercury squares Mars (10:07PM PST) shortly before the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives (activating 11 degrees of Capricorn and Aries at 10:16PM PST). Realize that a quarter-moon vibration is a square aspect of 90-degrees from Sun to Moon – when you primarily need to cut through obstacles blocking your path. Therefore, this year ends with Mercury-Mars and Sun-Moon squares – both of which are waxing in intensity or increasing in light. There is a clear message here that humanity needs to understand the esoteric message of experiencing Harmony through Conflict – the keynote of one of the seven rays associated with the seven colors of the rainbow linking heaven to earth. When you are making New Year’s resolutions, keep in mind that the first day of 2012 actually carries a much more buoyant and optimistic tone than the last 24-hour time-period of 2011.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Dec. 30th
Learn to roll with the psychic punches as the Moon parallels Uranus (12:05AM PST) while the Moon in Pisces squares Mercury in Sagittarius (1:41AM PST) and the Moon opposes Mars (5:39AM PST). These three aspects may not be the most important ones in the astrological deck, but as a trio, they can shake up the status-quo this morning. In addition, the Moon-Mars polarity starts a fairly long void lunar cycle that lasts until 1:49AM PST tomorrow when the Moon will enter fiery Aries. Therefore, most of today’s activities take place with a Moon in uncertain terrain and meandering in the last sign of the zodiac. This can be helpful if you want to retreat from the maddening crowd and restore your soul-personality alliance via meditation and reflection. Productivity across the board can still rise – thanks to the monthly Moon-Ceres union at 2:31PM PST. This lunar rapport with the largest asteroid doubles as a support for changing your diet along better nutritional lines. Be more nurturing to maternal figures, children and pets in your family circle. Get extra rest tonight as the last day of 2011 appears to be a humdinger and not of the most exalted kind.

Your Horoscope New Year’s Resolutions
Your Horoscope New Year’s Resolutions
- Annie B. Bond
‘Tis the season to make New Year resolutions–and to break them just as quickly, at least partly because the very language of most resolutions (“I will lose weight! I will stop smoking!”) is punitive and belittling to the soul. But our horoscope sun-sign can point the way to a life-affirming resolution your spirit can really get behind.
These resolutions speak a powerful, positive language that our spiritual selves respond to, in accordance with what is best in us, and working hand in hand with our deeper purpose in life. Find out the affirming resolution for your sun-sign, here:
Aries, March 21-April 19: I will allow my courage to blaze new trails in my life.
Taurus, April 20-May 21: I will focus on my inner garden, growing what I truly need.
Gemini, May 22-June 20: I will share my ideas with ease, finding playmates of the spirit with every word I speak.
Cancer, June 21-July 22: I will trust that my sensitive heart is continually nourished by pleasant memories and creativity.
Leo, July 23- Aug 22: I will know that my vital imagination is the fiery force that can change my life for the better.
Virgo, Aug 23-Sept 22: I will give thought to the messages of healing my body is sending me, and the ways I can give my body what it needs.
Libra, Sept 23-Oct 22: I will create something beautiful today out of my deep love for Beauty.
Scorpio, Oct 23-Nov 21: I will rise up again and again, filled with the power of renewal.
Sagittarius, Nov 22-Dec 21: I will speak the ideals of my heart clearly and with compassion for my self and others.
Capricorn, Dec 22-Jan 19: I will begin behaving as if my most important responsibility is to express my true nature.
Aquarius, Jan 20-Feb 18: I will be open to fresh new ideas that help me strengthen the bonds of community.
Pisces, Feb 19-March 20: I will believe that my deep intuition is a benefit to all my relations.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, December 27th

Although you might bump into resistance when sharing your plan today, your thoughts could be so intense that you end up revealing more than is necessary. It’s not that your ideas are too controversial to talk about; it’s just that you would be better off taking more time to develop them before involving others. Fortunately, waiting until you’re ready will improve the chances of getting others to support your plan.

Your good intentions should carry you far today, but reaching for the stars isn’t enough to ensure that you’ll get there. You are eager to meet your obligations, but things could get complicated if you ignore important details. Don’t just push your way forward without a sound plan; paying careful attention to how all the little pieces fit together enables you to accomplish more than you expect.

Your enthusiasm can fuel a conversation today, enabling it to go off in many exciting directions. You are eager to participate in dialogues that explore the possibilities before you, but it will take more than dynamic interactions to make the best ideas take shape. In fact, too much talking might be a tricky way to avoid the reality of how much work you must do. Don’t let your overactive mind hijack your day; manage your obligations so you have time for physical activities, too.

You aren’t sure of how much you need to divulge today because you don’t want to scare off your best allies. Although your story could be compelling, it may be too intense for some of your colleagues to handle. Don’t just make a one-size-fits-all announcement; instead interact with each person on a one-to-one basis. It’s more sensible not to say any more than what is necessary. Be cautious and save the full disclosure for when you’re sure that the time is right.

Someone can teach you something very important now, yet it’s challenging to let the message come through if you believe you already have the answers you need. You could miss an opportunity to make a breakthrough in a relationship if you’re unwilling to be vulnerable. Fortunately, today’s lesson will likely be gift-wrapped and sugar coated because the Moon joins sweet Venus in your 7th House of Others. If you become aware of your own resistance, consciously soften your stance when engaged in a conversation.

Your ruling planet Mercury is in the spotlight today, prompting opinionated interactions with colleagues. A relationship that has been limited to the workplace may cross over the line and begin to transform into a real friendship. Don’t put up artificial barriers; just allow the conversation to flow naturally and deal with any emotional issues as they arise.

It’s not easy to express yourself spontaneously today, especially if your role at work requires you to keep your personal feelings to yourself. Fortunately, you may discover that you can share your inner process with an acquaintance, but you need to be selective or you’ll end up wishing that you didn’t say anything at all. Don’t expect too much at first or you’ll be discouraged. If you are committed to sharing what’s in your heart, things should get better once your workday is done.

You may be feeling very private today about your future plans, so it’s wise to keep thinking about what you want to do before sharing your thoughts with anyone else. It isn’t that you’re afraid of what someone might say; it’s just that you still need time to contemplate until you know how you truly feel. Don’t allow others to talk you into disclosing anything before you’re ready.

You may be too eager to adjust your schedule if something comes up that seems important. However, canceling an existing appointment at the last minute could create problems, rather than solve them. It’s not wise to act impulsively if your decision involves others. Before you decide on a new course of action, consider the impact your behavior will have on everyone else. If it still seems urgent, go ahead with the necessary changes.

You may be unclear about your current financial picture, which could lead you to make a bad decision today. You might have made a mistake while calculating an account balance or, perhaps, underestimated the cost of a large purchase. Confront the issue promptly by getting all your facts straight first. It doesn’t matter if a money problem is big or small; it will be more difficult to handle if you don’t take care of it now.

You may have an exciting vision that you want to share with your co-workers or friends today. You assume they will hear you out and support you as you strive to fulfill your dreams. However, it’s important to realize that your current disclosure needs to be an all-or-nothing one; you won’t be able to get away with sharing only part of your idea. There’s no room for secrets now, so make sure you have all the data necessary to tell your whole story.

Your enthusiasm about your career can be quite contagious today, but you could alienate others if you get too carried away by all the possibilities. Thankfully, your clear communication is able to bring out the best in others now. However, there’s a fine line between the power of positive thought and the danger of blind optimism. Tempering your rosy outlook with realism should be enough to prevent problems in the next few days.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 26th

Rest up on Friday night while the Moon is visiting your sleepy 12th house, because it’s firing into your sign early on Saturday morning and turning up the heat in your personal life. You’re hungry for new experiences and are not likely to be thrilled by a traditional and totally predictable New Year’s Eve. Do your best to avoid pushing reluctant individuals to make changes, because they might push back even harder. A less aggressive approach allows others to compromise and meet you halfway.

Friends can warm your heart on Thursday and Friday with the sweet and tender Pisces Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups. But you may either be too tired, shy or disinterested to be a hardy partier during the rest of the weekend. A lunar transit in your ultra-private 12th house could have you sitting on the sidelines, or you may simply decide that quiet time with a few trusted people is the best way to ring in the New Year.

Fast talking is fun this weekend, but there’s a risk of rubbing someone the wrong way on Saturday night. Your chatty planet Mercury crashes into a stressful square with combative Mars, which can turn a minor difference of perspective into a major fight. If you’re irritated or impatient, take a break and consider whether you want to argue about a petty detail that can make the night memorable in the wrong way. Your best move might be to smile and shake it off or, if that’s not possible, simply walk away.

You can cuddle up in the comfort of sweet feelings on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday with the Moon swimming in sister Water sign Pisces. But the mood and tempo change on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into impetuous Aries. If you’re ready for a raucous time, you will love the high intensity atmosphere. But if you don’t like to be rushed in the pursuit of pleasure, seek out the company of quieter folks who are happy to slip away to someplace more private.

The Moon rockets into rambunctious Aries on Saturday to put some passion into your weekend. You’re looking for a lively partner and exciting experiences to ring in the new year. Sticking to the usual routine is not likely to be your idea of fun, so make this a time to experiment. Just don’t let unnecessary impatience, a petty disagreement or elaborate plans dowse the fires of discovery that are driving you. Maintaining your generosity of spirit and wicked sense of humor enables you to shine as the life of the party.

Relationships might be especially complicated this week. The Moon’s presence in peaceful Pisces and your 7th House of Partners brings some tender moments and spurs romantic dreams on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday. But then a lunar transit into impatient Aries and your 8th House of Deep Sharing on Saturday morning can detonate some emotional bombs. This could be amazing if you’re ready for passion, yet it requires your willingness to take risks to fully enjoy it.

Things are heating up just in time to celebrate the New Year. The mood-setting Moon enters fiery Aries and your 7th House of Partners on Saturday morning to provoke excitement and increase your readiness for new experiences. It helps to have a dynamic partner who is ready for anything to join you in riding this rising wave of passion. Whether you’re into it for one night or for eternity, there are few limits to how far you’re willing to go. Have fun exploring new territory, but don’t get too close to the edge.

You could have a delicious time this week with the imaginative Pisces Moon’s visit to your 5th House of Romance on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday. It seems like you can turn fantasies into reality, giving you the surreal feeling that you’re starring in a movie. Promises made and expectations raised encounter a stiff dose of reality starting on Saturday morning. If you’re disappointed over the weekend, don’t allow it to lead to a petty fight. It’s wiser to let go and head in a new direction than to get dragged into a conflict where no one wins.

The Moon blazes into incendiary Aries on Saturday morning to raise your emotional temperature for the weekend. This lunar transit could ignite instant fires of passion in your 5th House of Romance. Falling in love with someone new can happen in an instant, but your need for fresh experiences might put some pressure on an ongoing relationship. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner or friends, incorporating elements of surprise could do the trick. Work your magic and create some new rituals for the New Year that everyone will enjoy.

Entertaining within your comfort zone might be your best bet for New Year’s Eve while the independent Aries Moon visits your 4th House of Roots. Whether this means celebrating with old pals at your favorite watering hole or having people party at your house, it’s important that you feel comfortable. If you’ve been the host in the past, try making the event a little different this year by adding some surprising elements. In fact, a quiet evening alone enjoying some rest and relaxation might sound like the best idea of all.

Don’t let your head get in the way of your heart this weekend. Although this is a time to cut loose and have fun, your analytical mind could get stuck on a subject that becomes contentious. Word games are fun and you enjoy playfully sparring with clever people. Just be smart enough to notice when you or someone else is getting close to the edge of discomfort. Your “live and let live” attitude is an antidote to this potential for conflict. However, a bit of sensitivity keeps the emphasis on fun.

You might want to celebrate the New Year early with the Moon’s presence in your magical sign on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday. Your emotions may be strong, but your compassion and imagination make this a special time. A lunar shift into impulsive Aries on Saturday intensifies the rest of the weekend with an edge of excitement and a sense of danger in the air. Unless you’re in a risk-taking mood, seek out the safety net of reliable people and predictable places to find your fun.

Your Horoscope Story
Your Horoscope Story
- Annie B. Bond
Most of us know the image associated with our astrological sign: the crab for Cancer, the archer for Sagittarius, the scales for Libra.
But do you know the story behind those images? What does Scorpio have to do with the hunter Orion? Who is the Virgin in Virgo? Why does the goat in Capricorn often have a fish tail? Find out the answer to these questions and more: behind each horoscope sign there is a fascinating myth.
Find out the story behind your sun sign, and what it reveals about your inner nature, here.
Aries, March 21-April 19: One ancient Greek story about the constellation of the ram says that the wine god Dionysus and his retinue were wandering in arid Libya, and found themselves without food or drink. The god caused a miraculous ram to appear alongside a spring and the beast was later placed in the vault of the heavens, near watery Pisces. The ram was also the disguise of the god Pan when he courted the moon goddess Selene. Lively, enthusiastic, fearless, stubborn. Confidence, forward movement.
Taurus, April 20-May 21: The god Zeus took on the form of a bull in order to seduce and abduct the Phoenician princess Europa. Ancient Egyptians revered the bull for bearing the body of Osiris. Faithful, thoughtful, loving, persevering. Determined, loyal, practical.
Gemini, May 22-June 20: When Leda, the Queen of Sparta, was seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan, she laid two eggs. In one were the twins Castor and Polydeuces. These boys amazed everyone with their goodness and valor. One was born immortal, the other mortal: they preferred ultimately to be united together in death rather than be separated so they were placed together in the heavens as stars. Talent, intelligence, humor, eloquence. Strength, bravery, flair.
Cancer, June 21-July 22: The goddess-queen Hera sent a crab to harass the hero Hercules as he was struggling with a monster. The little creature was crushed to death in the struggle, but the queen of the gods set the crab, in appreciation, among the stars of the heavens. Home-loving, emotional, private, creative, complicated. Sensitive, intuitive.
Leo, July 23- Aug 22: This lion–the Nemean Lion–was the miraculous offspring of the Moon Goddess, Selene, and Zeus. It fell to the earth from the moon, and was so tough that no weapon could pierce its pelt. After defeating it with main force, the hero Hercules ever after wore its skin. Grandeur, ambition, pride, power, generosity, expansive, dignified, successful.
Virgo, Aug 23-Sept 22: This sign is related to the divine star maiden, Astrea, who bestowed her blessings on humankind. The gods rewarded her sweetness by placing her in the night sky as Virgo. Exacting, intelligent, honorable.
Libra, Sept 23-Oct 22: Libra is the night house of Venus. It is related to the constellation of the Scales, which represent divine justice, particularly in the person of Themis, who was a Titaness and aunt of the Olympians. Interestingly, though, the earliest Greeks called this constellation “the claws.” Equilibrium and balance. Fair mindedness, balance, optimism, kindness.
Scorpio, Oct 23-Nov 21: The goddess Artemis sent a scorpion to sting the hunter Orion in punishment for importuning her. Both hunter and scorpion were placed in opposite sides of the night sky; thus Orion fades when Scorpio shines. In ancient Egypt, the constellation was associated with the benign scorpion goddess Selket, who presided over the important mysteries of marriage for the living, and over the embalming of the dead. Confidence, intensity, sensuality, forcefulness, secretiveness, deep thinking.
Sagittarius, Nov 22-Dec 21: Sagittarius is a centaur, half-horse, half-man. The centaur Chiron was the wisest and noblest of creatures, who taught many great heroes. A poisoned arrow accidentally wounded him, and his memory was honored by the gods by placing him among the stars. Forthrightness, vigor, prudence, wisdom, courtesy.
Capricorn, Dec 22-Jan 19: The goat-footed god Pan took the goat as his symbol and turned himself into a goat-fish to escape the monster Typhon. Capricorn was also the female goat Amalthea, who nourished the infant Zeus. Determined, distinguished, serious, headstrong. Ambition, practicality, reserve.
Aquarius, Jan 20-Feb 18: This sign is associated by the ancient Greeks with the young Trojan prince, Ganymede, who was kidnapped by the king of the gods and became a sort of servant, pouring water at the gods’ feasts. Innovation, spontaneity, creativity, scientific curiosity, altruism, idealism. Open mind and open heart.
Pisces, Feb 19-March 20: The image for Pisces often shows two fish connected by a cord. These are Aphrodite and her son Eros, who changed into fish in order to swim away from an attack by the monster Typhon. Sensitive, emotional, fluid, and relaxed, intelligent and intuitive.
