Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 16th

The early trine of the Moon in Pisces to Jupiter in Cancer (12:16AM) sounds delightful and has an exuberant nature built into it. In addition, it creates a Grand Triangle in water signs since the Moon is coming from a similar trine to Mercury in Scorpio several hours earlier.  However, this unique geometric formation in the sky may not easily materialize into magnificence due to the start of a void-of-course lunar cycle as the Moon-Jupiter contact becomes exact (12:16AM). This lunar uncertainty time-period lasts for 18 hours until 6:19PM when the Moon darts into fiery Aries. Completing odd jobs and old projects is the right thing to do during an extensive void lunar cycle — especially when the Moon is transiting through the last sign of the zodiac.  During the void time-span, Venus becomes the active planetary player in our solar system by forming a square to Chiron (7:30AM) and a trine to Uranus (3:05PM). The Venus square to Chiron is a reminder to keep studying matters related to holistic healing while the trine to Uranus opens the gates of genius in arts and crafts.  Once the Moon enters Aries (6:19PM), it is an opportune time of the month to strengthen your leadership skills and tap into your assertive demeanor. Start tuning into the potent Full Moon that occurs on Friday. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 15th

Pursuing our dreams seems like the most intelligent course of action since the surreal Pisces Moon confuses us by softening the boundaries between fact and fancy. However, fantasies slip away once enterprising Mars shifts into practical Virgo, where it stays until December 7. During this seven-week phase, it’s helpful to analyze all the options before we act. We must move forward without offending the delicate sensibilities of those around us.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

No matter how scattered you feel today, it’s time to ground yourself in your daily routine. Your key planet Mars, now in earthy Virgo, encourages you to pay attention to the details of your own life; however, this tricky transit can also be rather annoying. Although you are more apt to initiate action first and work out a plan as you go along, it’s helpful to move in a methodical manner in order to lessen your frustration and increase your productivity.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Over the next several weeks you have an opportunity to express yourself in more creative ways, but there is a catch. You must treat your playful expressions as if they were part of your daily routine. This doesn’t mean you can drop your responsibilities to go off and make music or write poetry. Instead, just set aside a little time every day to focus on more artistic endeavors. What begins as a distraction gradually gains in importance over the days ahead.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re usually open to receiving input wherever it comes from. However, you must be selective now that Mars in Virgo tells you to utilize only the most reliable data. Be careful about what you say and be sure to reference your sources if you are quoting someone else. And, most importantly, consider the overall usefulness of whatever you intend to do — before doing it.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Surround yourself with your best friends and don’t be afraid to lose yourself into the spontaneous activities of the day. And although you must still be discreet about what you say, it’s probably better to share what you’re feeling today than keeping it bottled up any longer. It will actually feel good to be a part of any communication process when you are in the company of people you can trust

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This is a time for you Lions to do things in a very basic and practical manner. It’s essential to focus on building your own self-worth, both financially and psychologically. However, your fires of inspiration may be dying down today as Mars leaves lively Leo to enter efficient Virgo. It’s not the end of the road, but rather a transition into a time when considered actions have more impact than the obvious and noisy ones.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your energy level skyrockets now, giving you more oomph, zest and pizzazz in everything you do. Your adrenaline shoots through your system as Mars rushes into your sign for a seven-week visit. But because you are burning somewhat hotter than usual, you could come across as more aggressive than others expect. If you aren’t watchful, this can lead to petty ego disputes or conflicts. Focus on putting the power of Mars to work toward accomplishing your goals.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your energy may be hidden from others, but it runs deep over these next few weeks and this can present some problems. You might not be able to express your anger directly, so others can’t tell what’s really going on for you. You tend to avoid direct confrontations more than usual now; you could even feel like going on a retreat. Don’t let your ego run the show, for your happiness doesn’t depend upon recognition. Do the hard work behind the scenes and get ready for what comes next.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You receive much-needed support from your friends now, allowing you to focus your attention on what is important rather than being distracted by the noise of circumstances. Don’t take your eyes off your goals, for your long-term success depends upon consistent concentration at this time. Keep moving in the same direction, for even if it seems as if you’re not gaining ground, you really are.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel like your ambitious plans are being thwarted as aggressive Mars begins his seven-week tour of duty in detail-oriented Virgo. However, don’t take any setback too personally. This transit is less about you than it is about the conflict between expansive Sagittarius and concentrated Virgo — the classic “big” versus “little” dilemma. Your frustration may rise, but if you can hold back your horses while attending to the details, success will be yours.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re entering into a highly focused phase when your ability to diligently apply yourself at work is at its peak. Even if you don’t have one specific task you must finish, you’re now able to get more things done. The danger is that you can become so enamored with your work that you lose track of the lighter side of your life. Set aside time for plain old fun; you’ll actually accomplish more if you do.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is an intense period as you delve into the mysteries of your emotions. These might not be familiar energies to you and you may resist the journey if other people’s agendas conflict with yours. There really isn’t much you can do about these annoyances except to keep them in your awareness. Your discomfort will likely pass without ill effect, unless you make it into something bigger than necessary. Don’t push these experiences away, the treasures you encounter now make your life richer.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have more reason than ever to sort out your relationship tangles. It’s easier to cooperate with others now, especially if you are working toward a common goal. But don’t try to do it alone, even if there is an interpersonal conflict brewing. If you do find yourself in a disagreement today, make sure it isn’t just a silly misunderstanding. Working out the surface differences enables you to meet on common ground.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, October 15th

The little things in life can either help you click on all cylinders or block your forward progress. Ponder on that concept as Mars leaves free-wheeling Leo for meticulous Virgo (4:06AM) — a cycle that lasts until December 7. Small is beautiful can become your motto. Put extra oomph into clean-up campaigns, weeding the lawn and garden, organizational efforts and repair work.  The monthly union of the Moon with Chiron in Pisces (6:49AM) can flood your mind with insights coming from higher realms of consciousness. Deja vu experiences and flashes of genius often occur when the wounded-healer archetypes related to Chiron are energized by the Moon’s psychic presence. Learn more about advances in the fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine.  Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly disenfranchised as the Moon trines Mercury in water signs (7:05PM). Immerse yourself in a bestseller or film classic. Maintain an optimistic, exuberant mind-set overnight as a Moon-Jupiter trine (12:16AM tomorrow) transforms the earlier Moon-Mercury connection into a Grand Triangle in the heavens. Write down revelations that can be utilized at an auspicious time in the future. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Oct. 14th

We start the day wearing practical shoes and trade them in for a pair of swim fins when the Moon swims into watery Pisces at 5:05 pm EDT. We may be motivated to demonstrate how efficiently we work because energetic Mars hooks up with pragmatic Saturn while the Moon is still in inventive Aquarius. However, answers are not difficult to find if we are inspired to reach beyond our normal conceptual limits and into the far reaches of our imaginations.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re wary of trusting your feelings now, since a rational approach to life makes the most sense. You might even try to rebel against what you already know in your heart. It’s not that you don’t want a more emotionally charged life, it’s just that you aren’t interested in giving up on your dream of stability. Nevertheless, you won’t be able to deny your desires, so stop trying to justify your inaction because you’re afraid of losing control. Indulge your heart without going too far.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be quite confident now as you gain momentum on a project that was recently set aside. Perhaps each moment has you dreaming about making your life more pleasant. However, caution is advised, since you could push hard only to find that you’re reaching for the wrong star. But if you take a deep breath and pay careful attention to what you’re feeling in your gut, you could actually catch a glimpse of your new direction.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Something shifts energetically today and suddenly you just know what you need to do. Unfortunately, your moment of awareness doesn’t necessarily translate into sustainable action. Although you may be back at work or school now, you might not feel very motivated. Try to avoid becoming too indifferent about what you want, for it is your passion that will ultimately bring you closer to your dreams.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Anticipating a change of direction means that you must also shift the focus of your thoughts. You might think that you’re ready for new adventures, but you could also inadvertently push them away out of fear. It feels as if your entire life is moving too fast now, and that the pace is just beyond your control. You won’t be able to keep up with everything if you continue to hold onto the past. Fortunately, it’s much easier to handle the current intensity once you let go and embrace the future.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your emotions grow more extreme throughout the day and there appears to be no way to escape the looming storm. Thankfully, you won’t be scared off by a little relationship drama if it helps you to recall something very important from your forgotten past. Remembering an old story can boost your current motivation and inspire you to make an overdue change. There’s no time like the present to take charge of your life.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are rejuvenated by a fresh surge of energy that washes through your life today. Unfortunately, it can be quite a challenge to figure out which way to turn. Seeking counsel from your friends or associates may not help you make a decision because your agenda is so different from theirs. Nevertheless, someone else’s perspective still gives you a different way to look at the same old thing. At least, another point of view provides an objective frame of reference

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t want everyone to notice you today, yet, paradoxically, you may be thinking about what you want to share with others. Unexpressed fear isn’t the only thing holding you back now. You also need to establish a daily routine so that doing your chores or homework won’t stand between you and your greater aspirations. Even if you are unsure of your destination, practice trusting your intuition. Your inner voice won’t let you down.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Being your same-old reliable self today is challenging if your daydreams distract you from what you must do. It’s not that you’re incapable of hard work; it’s just that you might have lost your edge as your motivation dwindled. It’s wise to push yourself now by getting others involved in your cause. Setting up a few appointments or meetings makes it harder for you to procrastinate. Once you’re finished with your tasks, give yourself permission to spend some time with your dreams.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not be ready to return to work today. If you’re feeling restless, you may even want to hightail it out of the office and take some time off. Although you have a lot on your plate now, you could talk yourself into believing that your co-workers can, somehow, get the job done without you. Unfortunately, nothing much is accomplished without your effort and expertise, so find a healthy balance between productivity and relaxation to make everyone happy.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t want to sit still today because you’re jumping up and down with an excitement that just won’t settle down. You might be tempted to hide your enthusiasm because you’re not interested in destabilizing your life. But your aversion to risky behavior that shows your vulnerability can actually block your intent to get closer to someone you admire now. Take advantage of your energetic buzz and let your guard down.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Settling back into an old relationship dynamic might seem like a great idea today. However, it’s still wiser to try to push through the resistance and make the necessary changes in your plans for the future. You could try to justify your overall safe approach to life right now, but tense aspects won’t likely let you get away with taking the easy way out. Make up your mind to move forward and then get busy creating the future you want.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want everyone to know how you are feeling today because you think that being transparent will make you less lonely. Ironically, you may be scared to reveal too much about yourself. However, the Moon’s visit to your sign draws your emotions up toward the surface where you can’t help but wear them on your sleeve. The choice is yours; you could make someone else unhappy with your sad song or you could make it better by changing your tune.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 14th

How you approach sex and the way you achieve sensual gratification is about to change. This Tuesday, Mars will enter Virgo and your libido will take on a more earthly, lusty, yet discerning palate until December 7. What was once just fine in between the sheets might now feel less than desirable. You’ll want to work more on your technique, and will certainly demand that your lover do the same. Try to resist the urge to critique your mate so much that you wind up shutting him or her down altogether. If you turn making love into a “how-to” session, you’ll suck the romance right out of your life.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This Wednesday, your love life will sizzle beyond all expectation! Not only will you enjoy reaching new heights with someone who takes your breath away, but you’re more likely to appreciate everything about your lover that’s out of the ordinary. By Friday, a Lunar Eclipse in your sign may be the catalyst towards profound changes in your personal life. You might be ready for a commitment to someone you thought would threaten your independence. Now, you’ll come to realize the only one in the way of your happiness all this time has been you.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Are you ready to have more fun in bed? To enjoy thrilling, romantic date nights with someone who makes your heart beat faster? Well, you’re in luck, because the cosmic sky will certainly cooperate. Sexy Mars will be in a once-in-every-two-years position to help you enjoy the pleasures of life more as he tours your romance sector from Tuesday until December 7. On Saturday, you might feel confused about how to fulfill your sexual fantasies, but if you allow your imagination to take over, you’ll surely find a way.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Simpatico between you and your partner will have a lot to do with your social life this week. Perhaps you want to explore a new, unusual interest and would prefer that your love join you in this survey. Luckily, you’ll have an easy time convincing him or her to do so — especially if you act around Wednesday. In fact, you might discover that keeping company with new, fascinating friends adds excitement to your relationship. If you’re single, a scintillating moment with a pal might leave you grappling with newfound feelings that go way beyond platonic.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This week, it’s time to talk about sex. In fact, you’ll feel more compelled to express your desires to your mate from Tuesday through December 7. Talking about what you like and how you like it will undoubtedly help improve your romantic life, but remember to approach these conversations with more tact and a less demanding tone. Otherwise, you’ll alienate your lover instead of exciting him or her. On Saturday, you might share one of your deeper carnal fantasies. With a little planning, it just might become reality.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you’re single, this week it’s possible you’ll meet someone you find stimulating, fascinating and oh so sexy! A first date scheduled near Wednesday will take an unexpected, but positive, turn. If you’re already dating someone special, you’ll still enjoy the benefits of this energy. Expect sparks to fly or to reignite if they’ve been lost over time. Thinking about making travel plans with your mate? This is the week to press ahead. A getaway to someplace exotic will surely put the sizzle back into your love life!

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your sex appeal is about to go through the roof. On Tuesday, Mars, the planet that rules assertive energy and your libido, will enter your sign. This once-in-every-two-years event will be yours to enjoy until December 7, so be sure to maximize the charisma it’ll offer you. Although this Saturday you might feel as if your partner is sending mixed messages when it comes to sex, if you can navigate past the weekend’s bewilderment, the two of you will find your way back to mutual chemistry in no time.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Expect a major shake-up in your love life this week. On Wednesday, a conversation between you and your partner might open the door to a newfound mutual understanding and awareness that previously eluded you. Then, Friday’s Lunar Eclipse in your 7th House of Commitment will bring things to a crashing climax. A relationship turning point is imminent, and whichever way you go there will be no turning back. Will it be an ending or a new beginning? Wednesday’s dialogue might give you the answer.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you’re married or in a committed relationship, it’s possible that this week your partner may offer you a personal — and lasting — financial benefit. You might even decide to work with your mate on a new freelance project or business endeavor. Whatever this is, it’s sure to bring extra cash your way. If you’re dating someone casually, on Saturday a confusing run in between your sweetheart and a pal might make you think twice about the loyalty you receive from one of these alliances.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your love life is on fire! With Venus in your sign, you’re not only gorgeous — you’re irresistible. On Wednesday, Venus will make a brilliant link to Uranus, now in your romance sector. Stimulating possibilities are yours when it comes to romance and a chance meeting with someone special might make your knees weak. On Friday, a potent Lunar Eclipse in the same area of your chart will either end a casual affair or open the door to the realization that you’re in love with someone you’ve been dating. Wow!

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Changes on the home front are likely to distract you from romance this week. What might be happening, however, are changes at home that directly affect your love life. You and someone close might decide to move in together if things are going well. This might be a sudden conversation — one that comes up this week, in fact. While this could be a positive shift, be wary of rushing into any life-changing resolution if at all possible. Facts will not be clear and it’s possible that you’ll second guess yourself.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Love is about feelings, but for you it may also seem more like it’s all about choices this week. On Wednesday, a conversation with one of your pals might lead to the nugget of enlightenment you’ve been searching for concerning a relationship matter. Then, on Friday, a powerful Lunar Eclipse in your 3rd House of Communication will prompt you to have a vital conversation with your partner. Are you concerned that your mate is hiding something about finances from you? Your anxiety might be confirmed this Saturday. If you make the choice to ignore it, you’ll only be fooling yourself.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This week, it’ll be abundantly clear that the only way to move past any conflict with your partner is to accept it, and then to address it head on. Warrior planet Mars will enter your relationship sector on Tuesday, and it will remain in this part of your chart until December 7. During this time you’ll notice that peace and harmony seems to elude you when it comes to your closest relationships. While it might add excitement and spice, on Saturday in particular it will only feel confusing. You might not even know what you’re fighting over.

Current Moon Phase for Oct. 14th – Second Quarter

Second Quarter Moon

(waxing/72% illumination)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

Your Charm for October 13th is Leo – The Lion

Your Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:    

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is generous, warm-hearted, creative, enthusiastic, broad-minded, expansive, faithful and loving. This person is most likely a relative.

General Description:      

Fifth sign of the Zodiac, July 23rd to Aug. 23rd. Ruled by the Sun; correct metal, Gold. Those born under the influence of Leo were believed to be enthusiastic, high spirited, affable, generous, strong, quick tempered, artistic, inventive, generally successful and proverbially lucky. The Leo stones are the Peridot and Onyx, also Amber. The Peridot was in former times valued more than the Diamond. In Rome it was worn as a charm to drive away evil spirits, despondency and illusions. Peridot amulets enjoyed a great reputation in the Middle Ages for inspiring wisdom and eloquence. Many medicinal properties were attributed to Amber, and its supposed virtues are still relied on in the East.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, October 13th

We could feel a bit out of sorts today because it can be challenging to stay present with the Moon traveling through futuristic Aquarius. Fortunately, we are quite adept at fitting together all the pieces of a complex puzzle, even if we feel inept while trying to manage a simple social interaction. However, the Moon’s dynamic squares to stabilizing Saturn and rational Mercury help us determine the best way through a tricky set of circumstances.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are willing to take on new responsibilities today, even if you might be happier doing something else. Fortunately, you can manage a few days of hard work by holding on to a memory of a recent experience that made you feel good. Although you aren’t likely to live in the past, replaying recollections of previous pleasures eases your current frustrations and allows you to be more productive in the process.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s one thing to raise issues from the past when they pertain to a current situation, but it’s quite different to obsess about something that just doesn’t resonate in the present moment. If you can’t get a painful memory out of your head, avoidance and suppression will only strengthen it. However, it’s not wise to arbitrarily share your story with just anyone. Choose someone you trust before you open your heart and release your fears.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might feel as if someone is attempting to sell you a piece of imaginary blue sky today as he or she puts an optimistic spin on a complex situation. Accept what you are told at face value without necessarily committing to further involvement on your part. Recognizing your limitations is important, but acting on what’s in your heart is crucial for your growth. Trusting your instincts will lead you in the right direction.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may have a breakthrough idea about a project at work now, but self-doubt prevents you from telling anyone what you are thinking. Perhaps you recall a different time when you took on more than you could handle. Nevertheless, your current anxiety might be unfounded. Sharing your thoughts is easier if you are honest about your strengths and weaknesses. Ask for help up front instead of promising more than you can possibly deliver. Sometimes an objective opinion is all you need to set your plans back on track.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Someone you trust may inadvertently hurt your feelings today by bringing up a relationship issue that you thought was ancient history. Don’t take it personally even if it involves you because this is probably more about the other person’s residual feelings than your reaction. Choosing to travel the emotional high road is essential or you might become mired in the past instead of happily moving into the future.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Since you are usually very conscientious when making commitments, it’s surprising to others if you agree to something today and then turn around and rescind your promise. Your cooperation initially stems from your eagerness to please those you respect. But once you know the entire situation, you might want to repair your error in judgment. Remember, we all make mistakes; the quicker you can set it right, the better it will be for all involved.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are often the one who graciously hides your emotions to make everyone else feel better about an unchangeable set of circumstances. However, your patience may run thin as you react impulsively now, without giving yourself enough time to monitor the tone of your words or consider the impact of your behavior. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you upset someone in the process. Taking care of your own needs is more critical today than keeping the peace.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are tempted to sidestep a financial issue today, but it’s much wiser to deal with the situation before it gets any worse. It may be as simple as paying a bill that is overdue or untangling an accounting problem. Whatever it is, don’t allow your resistance to an unpleasant money matter stand in the way of handling business while it’s still easily manageable. A stitch in time saves nine.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your perceptions are quite accurate today and your vision is strong enough to believe that what you see is the truth. Uncharacteristically, you can easily pick up on the emotions of others and this heightened empathy encourages you to share your revelations with them. Your openness is admirable, but don’t assume that you know what is best for another person. Your way of handling adversity may work well for you, but it’s not necessarily the path to happiness for everyone else. Be a supportive friend without telling anyone what to do.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your creative genius can take over today by showing you multiple solutions to a current problem. Unfortunately, you might not be able to discern which one is the best course of action. Although you may want to go with the very first idea that comes to mind, this isn’t necessarily your most effective move. Take your time and methodically follow each option through to its logical conclusion before making your final decision.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your chances for success are strengthened by today’s intelligent Aquarius Moon. But even if you know how to fix a difficult situation, moving slowly and deliberately still works to your advantage now. A hurried plan reveals your weaknesses while a cool and calm approach helps you gain the power you need to make your plans happen. Additionally, this thoughtful strategy allows others to connect with you in more meaningful ways.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Acting in a self-assured manner today throws others off course so your insecurities aren’t apparent. Ironically, a veneer of confidence might get in your way because expressing your self-doubt now shows your strength of character. Don’t shy away from speaking the truth. Ultimately, your position is stronger if you are completely honest about your feelings. Being your authentic self earns you the respect and admiration you deserve.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 13th

Once you get through a caution-producing Mars-Saturn contra-parallel (1:40AM), you should be in the clear to accomplish most tasks on your to-do list. The Moon in Aquarius is once again your psychic and emotional guiding light to this 24-hour time-period. Add entries to your social calendar and widen your circle of friends. Put your heart and soul into global causes that synchronize with your philosophy of life.  Start gearing up for Mercury’s three-week retrograde cycle that begins 8 days from now on October 21. The Messenger of the Gods planet — ruling general health, communication and transportation themes — is beginning to slow down its daily speed until it becomes virtually motionless in Scorpio next weekend.  Soar like an eagle this evening in metaphysical studies, the arts and sciences as the Moon in Aquarius trines the Sun in Libra (10:47PM). Stop worrying about small potatoes and things you cannot control. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Your Charm for October 12th is Pisces the Fishes

Your Charm for Today

Pisces the Fishes

Today’s Meaning:

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive and sympathetic. This person could be merely an acquaintance who has influence with people in your circle.

General Description:

Twelfth sign of the Zodiac, Feb 19th to March 20th. Ruled by the planet Jupiter; correct metal, Tin. Those born under the influence of Pisces were believed to be highly emotional, imaginative, observant, artistic, musical, precise and prudent. The gem for Pisces is the Amethyst, whose occult properties were firmly believed in by the ancients. The Egyptians wore these stones as amulets against witchcraft, and for success in their undertakings. The Amethyst is also called The Bishops Stone from its supposed soothing influence, imparting a pious calm in time of danger. The stone was believed to confer happiness on the newly married.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 12th

Promising more than we can deliver today leads to trouble as the willful Sun dynamically squares overconfident Jupiter. We are prone to exaggerate our expectations and might assume that we will accomplish far more than we can actually reach now. And although the evocative Moon’s shift into futuristic Aquarius at 1:59 pm EDT reminds us that our beliefs shape the road ahead as much as anything else, she also encourages us to overextend ourselves

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might think that everyone wants to do something with you today, making it difficult to focus on your previous commitments. Your popularity is running high and you want to grab every opportunity you can to have fun. But it’s not a great idea to say yes just because you’re afraid of being left out of the action. Balancing your approach to work and play allows you to get the most out of your day.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be extremely excited about all the wonderful things that are happening now because you believe that the current opportunities will lead to greater success. Although you are hopeful about what you can manage today, your expectations are probably out of proportion with reality. Rather than setting yourself up for a fall, avoid the temptation of taking on too much. Surely it’s better to do an admirable job at fewer tasks than to tackle everything haphazardly and fail.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current charm can be quite persuasive now. However, an inflationary square between the Sun and pompous Jupiter warns that you may not remember how to set boundaries and honor limitations. You could inadvertently detract from your accomplishments if you talk too much, so be extra careful about rambling on after you have already made your point. The adage “less is more” is sensible advice to follow today.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You could find yourself wrapped up in a controversy today because you aren’t very concerned about the changes ahead. Your friends or coworkers might try to tell you why you should be acting more maturely, but you just want to have a little fun. Enjoying yourself is wonderful as long as you don’t forget about your previous obligations, especially if others are depending on you now. There’s no substitute for how good you feel when you do something helpful for someone special.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are quite opinionated today and might create situations where you can let everyone know exactly what you think. But others aren’t necessarily interested in listening to your rant for very long, so deliver your message as quickly as possible. Wasting time with too many details only weakens your story and makes you less believable, so demonstrate your ability to be concise and considerate. Use the art of persuasion to your advantage by leaving your audience wanting more.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have a brilliant idea today about an activity that involves your friends. But you can become so excited that your expectations grow by leaps and bounds, making the logistics of your plan unmanageable. Even if you want to do things differently, don’t be so stuck on having your way now that everyone else loses interest. Share your thoughts with others and then listen carefully so you can integrate the best of their feedback.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have a clear sense of what you stand for today, but communicating your beliefs could be challenging if you lose your objectivity. Your optimism can go so far that it inspires you to participate in a project or cause that might be better left alone. But don’t push the issue now if others are resistant and don’t want to go along for the ride. Your chances for success improve when you just allow the events to unfold as naturally as possible.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

These are intense times, making it even more important to find healthy ways to express your feelings. Thankfully, you are in a spiritually uplifting phase, yet someone may still read your energy all wrong. If something you say or do elicits a negative response from others, rest assured that it’s still smarter to share your emotions rather than to bury them. Those that truly know you will understand and appreciate your honesty.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could soar right into an amazing experience today since you’re picking up on an upbeat wave of energy from the Sun’s square to lucky Jupiter. But remember, your key planet Jupiter is the magnifying lens of the cosmos, so it makes everything look bigger and better than it actually is in reality. Nevertheless, do what you do best and focus on the big picture because the general concepts are even more important now than the myriad of details. Don’t sweat the small stuff until next week.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You need to be careful because you could go overboard with the power of your positive thinking today. Ironically, anxiety might arise from too much of a good thing as the illuminating Sun’s square to jolly Jupiter lifts your spirits. Practicing a combination of flexibility and moderation brings you closer to your goals. Thankfully, you can make a lot of progress now if you channel your energy constructively and schedule your time wisely.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends may appear to be more serious about a particular situation than you are today. Fortunately, you’re likely aware of your current Pollyanna tendencies; nevertheless, you still have a lot of good things to say. There’s no need to abandon your optimistic attitude, even if others are overly cautious. Remain positive as long as you can, but don’t embellish the facts just to make your position more convincing. The truth is good enough on its own.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might not want to harbor any secrets today, yet keeping quiet may be necessary to earn someone’s trust. It would certainly be in bad taste if you reveal something private that was told to you in confidence. Fortunately, you have more options because there are so many other interesting topics to discuss. You’ll feel good about your discretion once you fully accept the reasons for your current boundaries. There are some things that are just better left unsaid.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 12th

This is a good morning to emulate the tortoise rather than the hare. With the Moon in Capricorn in void mode until 11:01AM, why rush around like a dizzy chicken? Another reason to stay close to home and avoid getting involved in large-scale enterprises is that the Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer (8:10AM). When the two largest celestial bodies in our solar system form a jarring, 90-degree confrontation, everything big and complex may have cumbersome strings attached to it.  Once the Moon leaves void status in Capricorn by entering the universal air sign of Aquarius (11:01AM), it is a good time to energize group projects, participate in team sports, and join community fundraising efforts. Think more about your higher destiny and being of service to the greater good than on fulfilling lower-level desires.  Be a creative and artistic whirlwind across the board later on as the Moon unites with Juno (7:36PM) while also forming a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Venus (9:05PM). Enjoy an evening of board, card or word games with friends or family members. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 11

We might try to avoid irrational feelings for the sake of expediency since today’s calculating Capricorn Moon encourages us to reach our goals. However, the Moon’s dynamic square to the radiant Sun in accommodating Libra reminds us to stay aware of other people’s perspectives, even as we climb the ladder of success. Meanwhile, sensual Venus and the Moon form stressful aspects to indulgent Jupiter, prompting us to believe that more is better.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you’re tempted to take a risk at work, it’s probably not the smartest idea. It’s a better strategy to stick with the conventional plan now, instead of following a whim. Socializing may be more fun, but your productivity suffers when you wander away from your chores. Set a steady pace early in the day and be as methodical as possible. If you accomplish a lot today, you can always be spontaneous tomorrow.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re quite serious when you tell others today that you’re going to take an extended vacation to a secluded tropical island or some other exotic location. Even if your ideas seem ridiculous, your fierce determination might just find a way to make it work. If anyone calls you to task because of your imagination, be selective enough to keep the rest of your plans to yourself. Save the details for a trusted friend or the person you wish to be your travel companion. Making your dreams come true isn’t as hard as you think.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your restlessness could turn the most pleasing person in your life into an ornery antagonist today. Just when you believe you have everything figured out, the emotional dynamics may shift, proving your assumptions wrong. Unfortunately, you can’t hang on to the status quo any longer. Your relationships are in flux now, as are your feelings. Prevent regret by giving yourself some time for reflection before making any big decisions that can’t be changed. When you calm down so will everyone else.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might not be willing to make so many changes so quickly today, but you have to do whatever it takes to hold it together. Your feelings of insecurity could rise to the surface, only to be buried again as you are happily distracted by external events. If you have previously chosen to suppress your emotions, you now have an opportunity to shift gears and do things differently. Sharing what’s on your mind allows others to lend a helping hand.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Anything can happen today if you’re willing to make a plan and then execute it accurately. Today’s opulent Venus-Jupiter connection reminds you that pleasure is closer than you realize. But you might still run into trouble since there could be some instability in your relationships. Instead of claiming that you will accept the outcome whatever it may be, give yourself permission to state what you want, so at least you know that you tried.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re quite serious about relationships today, but, thankfully, your cautious attitude doesn’t have to get in the way of romance. Your calm demeanor might make you very appealing to someone you admire. The more responsibly you act now, the easier it is for others to find reasons to love you. As always, just being yourself is your best strategy.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s not easy to keep quiet today because you might have more to say about your feelings than those around you. You don’t have any perfect answers, but you can see where the lines of tension have been drawn. Don’t shy away from the stressful points. Go through them one by one and iron out any disagreements for the good of everyone involved. A lively discussion will clear the air; find a tactful way to get the ball rolling.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re eager to try something new if you believe that it can bring happiness today. You don’t want to sit around and idly wait for life to happen; instead use these days to push through your resistance to change. Don’t worry; any forward movement is better than returning to the past, even if you’re unclear about your destination. It’s not time to be too cautious. Take a few deep breaths before boldly following your intuition into the great unknown.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could make everything appear to be effortless today, but you’re probably stressing a lot more than anyone realizes. You want to finish what you started but you can see divergent paths everywhere you turn. Unfortunately, no option is perfect. Eventually, you must stop the analysis process and just make a choice. Remember, when making a decision it’s always best to choose love over fear

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might not be completely ready to move to the next level yet. The Moon is visiting your conservative sign today, but a series of rough aspects probably won’t slow you down. However, you may inadvertently cling to an old and worn out habit that becomes more trouble than it’s worth. Don’t focus on your immediate happiness now. Instead, concentrate on your future goals because they can hold your attention for a much longer period of time. Pursuing your ambitions brings you joy and success.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You think you have an ace up your sleeve today, but you could be missing a few cards, instead. Although you believe you’re at the top of your game when it comes to negotiation, it’s wise to settle for a little less than you expect. Nevertheless, stop sweeping the intensity under the rug and don’t be afraid to say what you want. Bringing feelings out into the open now is the only logical way to go.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Holding too tightly to your long-term goals doesn’t leave room for any new possibilities to enter your life now. You’re aware of the opportunities for fun and games, but you can feel the stress between a potential payoff for taking a chance and the loss of security that comes from leaving stability behind. Trust your hunches and your good intentions will shine through, which in turn encourages others to support you.

Moon Sign Compatibility

Moon Sign Compatibility

When it comes to finding love, look to the Moon

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

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

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

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

Moon in Aries

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

Moon in Taurus

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

Moon in Gemini

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

Moon in Cancer

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

Moon in Leo

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

Moon in Virgo

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

Moon in Libra

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

Moon in Scorpio

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

Moon in Sagittarius

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

Moon in Capricorn

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

Moon in Aquarius

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

Moon in Pisces

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

Your Love Horoscopes for the Weekend of Oct. 11 – 13

Weekend Love Horoscopes

October 11-13: Radical Expansion

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

A serious Capricorn Moon on Friday night may hold you back from reaching for what you most hope for in love — but it’ll only be temporary. By Saturday the Moon will sail into Aquarius and your mood will shift from sobriety to “anything is possible.”

It’s not the Moon alone that will be responsible for this shift. The Sun in relationship-oriented Libra will connect to Jupiter, offering plenty of hope to expand your world socially and romantically. Because the Moon will be in altruistic Aquarius, you’ll reveal the side of you that’s more eccentric and distinctive with ease. Fortunately, the freedom to love who, what and when you please will be supported on Saturday. Times ten.

On Sunday, you’ll still want to radically expand the realm of possibilities between you and your love, but it’ll have to be achieved after you and your mate tend to an order of business. The laundry still needs washing.
