Dragons of the Zodiac

Dragons of the Zodiac 

As there are dragons of the planets, so are there dragons of each zodiac sign. Some magical systems look upon these dragons as devic in nature and therefore not as powerful as element dragons. I have not found this to be so. I leave it to your own personal experience to decide the situation.

Sometimes we need to enhance the good qualities of the sign under which we were born, sometimes lessen the negative qualities. Many times we need the qualities and energies of other signs for a short period. By using the chant under each zodiac sign, the magician can add to her/his magical energies, particularly when she/he must face a sticky situation or deal with difficult people. However, no magician should work with the powers of one sign too long or she/he may develop too much of a particular power, thereby overbalancing.

As with planetary dragons, indeed all dragons, the magician should extend a mental invitation to join the ritual. Choose music that reflects to you the zodiac sign with which you are working. Steven Halpern has recorded some very beautiful New Age music specially for the zodiac signs, but these may not appeal to you. Response to music is a very personal thing. Your responses can even change from time to time, depending upon your emotions, physical health, and environmental situation. What feels right one time may not be appropriate at another.

Like the planetary rituals, these zodiac rites use candles, herbs, and oil of the appropriate sign to connect with dragon energy and draw on it.

Use the basic dragon rituals as a foundation ritual, adding the appropriate colors, herbs, etc. Insert the chants in the place where spell working is called for. Dance with your dragons; sing with them; chant vowel sounds with them. At the end of whichever zodiac chant you decide to use, meditate on absorbing the energies and qualities for which you have asked. Listen inwardly for suggestions.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, February 6th

Love vibrations are increasing in frequency – courtesy of a Moon-Venus flowing trine in water signs (1:29AM PST). While romance appears to be promising, surprises and shock waves can easily pop up due to a frictional, 45-degree connection from the Sun to radical-change agent Uranus (2:05AM PST). Expecting the unexpected is more the rule now than the exception. A short void lunar cycle from 4:32AM PST to 5:25AM PST is a reminder to finish old projects on a high note. Once the clock strikes 5:25AM PST, the Moon enters warmhearted and outgoing Leo for a change of pace. Advances on the cutting edge of science and metaphysics can suddenly show up as the Moon trines Uranus (9:01AM PST). Become more familiar with new technological marvels entering the marketplace and be fearless about exploring the ever-expanding online universe. However, more topsy-turvy conditions are likely to spontaneously manifest around the time that Mercury makes an abrasive, 45-degree link to its higher-octave planet Uranus (12:03PM PST). When Uranus begins to throw its erratic, iconoclastic and revolutionary weight around, stability and comfort are hard to find. Instead, you need to periodically check in with your intuitive awareness and fly more by the seat of your pants. Keep preparing for tomorrow’s enlightening Full Moon energy-field and Saturn turnaround in motion.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 2nd

If you are a frequent reader of this calendar, then you know that every so often the cosmos settles down and refrains from blasting earthlings with solar, lunar and planetary discord. Today is one of those one-sided affairs where the potential for good outweighs the potential for its opposite. This is because the only two major celestial alignments are flowing trines of 120-degrees – the first one from the Moon in Gemini to Mercury in Aquarius (6:42AM PST) and the second one happening some 7+ hours later when the Moon forms the same rapport with the Sun in Aquarius (2:02PM PST). Be receptive to visions and insights coming from the great beyond. Think about your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth rather than your personal needs and desires. Literary and educational endeavors as well as cultural and global perspectives win the day over petty peeves and superficial interests. Catch up with email and overseas correspondence. Meanwhile, gear up for a big sea change happening for the planet ruling the oceans as Neptune prepares to enter Pisces for nearly 14 years tomorrow. This orb of dreams, spirituality, religious beliefs and the creative imagination is saying goodbye to Aquarius after a brilliant 14-year run in this third, universal air sign. Now it’s on to the last sign of the zodiac for a trip into unknown waters only Einstein, a double-fish Piscean himself, might perceive with his mystical and kaleidoscopic mind-set.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Jan. 23

With last night’s New Moon in Aquarius in your hip pocket, it may seem as if it is clear sailing ahead – as each solar-lunar union offers a forward push for the next 29+ days. However, even though Mercury and Mars form a flowing trine of 120-degrees in earth signs this morning (3:17AM PST) – potentially bolstering communications and construction projects across the board – everyone is about to deal with a possibly volatile Mars station at 24 degrees of Virgo (4:55PM PST) where the red planet shifts from direct to reverse until April 13. While our very accurate, scientifically-calculated ephemerides give us the exact timing of the Mars shift, this entire day (not to mention the last few days and the next 48+ hours ahead) is under the aegis of the red planet gone wild. Stations or the apparent stopping points of celestial bodies are tremendously significant because the planetary archetypes are then thrust upon us – often in an unrelenting manner. Thus, Mars motionless equates with a vast increase in themes such as courage, leadership, passion, sensuality, desire, athletic prowess, independence, but also selfishness, egocentricity, rash acts, immature and adolescent attitudes, as well as violence, anger, aggression and volatility. Accidents, fevers, burns and inflammations are much more common when Mars is singled out via the cosmic players who throw their weight around in our solar system. Do all in your power to steer clear of temperamental individuals, avoid dealing with legal matters and signings, and remember to drive defensively. The good news about Mars retrograde is that you can review and re-evaluate many of your behavior patterns – on the personality level – over the next 80 days.

Daily Cosmic Calender for January 8th

Inspirations are flying fast and furiously as the entire day builds up to the exact moment of the Full Moon that activates 19 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer (11:31PM PST). Early on, your talents as a superb problem-solver are enhanced – thanks to a mentally-exuberant, 72-degree rapport from Pallas to Jupiter (3:45AM PST). This could also be a good day to conduct strategy sessions, on a wide range of topics, with a trusted adviser or friend. You receive some excellent back-up support – mentally and spiritually – as Mercury forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in earth signs (10:06AM PST). However, the universe seems to love tossing a shocking surprise into the proceedings just to see how mortals on Earth behave. This shocking surprise arrives in the form of a Mercury-Uranus 90-degree sharp square from Capricorn to Aries (3:24PM PST). Jumping to conclusions without information or clear answers is taboo. If you have to drive or travel a far distance, use sound judgment. Communications can also suffer around the time-period when Mercury and Uranus play mischief-makers. Meanwhile, the rest of the evening pulls you toward the potential magic of the Full Moon (11:31PM PST). Send out your uplifting thoughts and prayers to humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Individual and group meditations are advised. Think more of your higher purpose while dwelling in your physical, emotional and mental bodies in this lifetime. Be a loving, compassionate ambassador of goodwill to people on the skids.

Your Lunar Love Horoscope Overview for Jan. 6 – 8

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Emotional Eruptions

January 6 – 8

Friday is fun and flirtatious with the Moon hanging out in chatty Gemini, making it easy to start conversations on virtually any subject with just about anyone. Minds are easily stimulated and curiosity about everything tempts us to gossip about others. But the heady side of this Air sign is augmented with physicality and a strong taste for pleasure when lunar connections with romantic Venus and passionate Mars spice up the evening with a lust for life and a hunger for love. Playful and provocative games can entertain those looking for diversion and inspire Eros for people lucky enough to have willing partners.

Emotions become even more powerful on Saturday with the Moon’s shift into watery Cancer. Yet the safety usually sought in this security-oriented sign is shaken by eruptions of unexpected events and volatile feelings. Rebellious Uranus springs surprises and reflects rapidly changing moods that can destabilize evening plans. Flexibility helps to keep the lid on the intensity, which is important with a supersensitive Cancer Full Moon occurring late Sunday night. This emotional lunation opposes powerful Pluto which could push people to extremes, taking relationships to critical points that may bring breakthroughs for some or cause breakdowns for others.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 22nd

There’s no sense dashing out of the starting gate too early as the Moon in Scorpio starts a void cycle at 1:50AM PST by squaring dreamy Neptune. This lunar uncertainty zone lasts until 4:04AM PST when the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius. The Moon in the ninth zodiacal sign signifies a boost for fun, games and sports. Outdoor adventures and explorations are back in vogue. If erotic impulses shock your nervous system this morning, it is probably related to the Moon parallel to love-goddess Venus (4:39AM PST). This stellar contact is also a boost for your creative artistic expression across the board. More good news arrives this morning as the Sun forms a flowing trine to giant Jupiter in earth signs (6:34AM PST) while the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Venus (7:54AM PST). Golden opportunities are ripe for the picking. Love birds may experience some ruffled feathers due to a frictional, 135-degree contact from Venus to Mars (12:31PM PST). While you may be nursing any minor wounds from emotional upsets, the Sun squares revolutionary Uranus (2:15PM PST). Shock waves and surprises are always par for the course when the Sun and Uranus face off in a 90-degree aspect. Expecting the unexpected is one way to stay prepared. Advanced studies in almost any field of knowledge will send you to the head of the class. Immerse yourself in a biography or literary classic as the Moon makes its monthly union with Mercury (7:11PM PST).

New Moon Report for December 20th – Venus in Aquarius

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

 

Venus in Aquarius

Tuesday, December 20, 10:26 am PST, 1:26 pm EST

The love planet’s entry into cool but friendly Aquarius is ideal for those who need freedom and are easily bored with social convention. Venus’ presence in this independent air sign indicates that relationships will blossom when there is more room for individual expression and romantic experimentation. Cooperation within groups, especially those with idealistic intentions, should be enhanced by this transit. Fresh approaches to appearance, pleasure and partnerships will make life more enjoyable than sticking to outmoded traditions.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 17th

Organizational themes are a number one concern with the Moon continuing its monthly transit through Virgo. Eliminate non-essentials from cupboards, drawers and closets. Be the efficiency master in the residential and business realms. Out with clutter; in with order. Antique hunters and collectible aficionados are in their glory when the Moon illuminates this sixth sign of the zodiac – associated very strongly with valuable items from the past that have particular or unusual markings, engravings, signatures and historical meaning. Clean-up campaigns are also reinforced to make sure everything shines again with its original essence. When the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives (energizing 26 degrees of Sagittarius and Virgo at 4:49PM PST), cut through obstacles on your mental and even spiritual path. Tap into your creative artistry or come from the heart with a primary partner shortly thereafter as a Moon-Venus flowing trine in earth signs provides a loving boost (6:30PM PST). Nevertheless, this Moon-Venus connection also begins a 5+ hour void cycle that lasts until 12:07AM PST on Sunday when the Moon enters affable, airy Libra. It is wise to simmer down emotionally during this void lunar twilight zone. Finish odd jobs and projects with finesse while waiting until the lunar orb enters Libra before launching new, bold initiatives.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 14th

Today’s lively Leo Moon provokes us to do whatever we feel is necessary to be seen and heard. We don’t want to sit idly on the sidelines; we prefer to be in the game where the action is. We’re not afraid to start a new project and express our creativity with enthusiasm, since there are planets in each of the three Fire signs. Additionally, sharing our opinions is easier now that talkative Mercury is moving direct in philosophical Sagittarius.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t in the mood for anyone to tell you what to do today, but your rebellious attitude can create problems if you just do the opposite of whatever you are told. Doing things your way may seem like the best course of action, but your efforts won’t lead to a positive outcome now unless you also take time to listen to others. Don’t lose track of your long-term goals, but remember to soften your stance so you don’t alienate your allies.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

At times you are stubborn for no apparent reason, yet you might have a real justification for maintaining the status quo today. Unfortunately, you may find it challenging to explain your motives to others because you’re so confident now that you could become overly defensive. Although you’re not likely to change your mind, demonstrating a bit of flexibility in your thinking can help you to get what you want.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need to interact with others could run into unexpected problems today because everyone seems to have his or her own agenda. Fortunately, you can positively impact the flow of events anyway by concentrating on long-term goals instead of bothersome short-term frustrations. A simple change of perspective alleviates pressures that might otherwise evoke conflict. Tempering a possible extreme reaction improves your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Co-workers could come on so strong that you feel like retreating to insulate yourself from them. You don’t want to be goaded into making a choice before you’re ready to decide for yourself, so you’re tempted to withdraw without fully revealing your feelings. However, your fears can exacerbate a tricky situation. Instead of seeking solitude today, it might be wiser to admit your sensitivity and ask your associates to hold off with their judgments until you’ve had enough time to make up your mind.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may respond to someone’s invitation without even thinking now that the reactive Moon is back in your sign. Unfortunately, you might discover that you agreed to more than you intended. If you don’t consider what happens next, you could be unhappily surprised that your optimism steered you toward a wrong conclusion. On the other hand, you don’t have to be overly cautious if you just remember to temper your natural exuberance with a bit of common sense.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your feelings isn’t the best approach to managing a strong emotional interaction today. You are more transparent than you think, and others probably won’t trust you if they see that you aren’t being honest with them. Don’t wait until your frustration reaches a critical level before saying what’s on your mind. Avoiding an argument is easy now if you remember to share your reactions calmly before they grow out of control.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your need to please others can lead to fun today as long as you aren’t acting for a selfish reason. But if you’re only considering what’s advantageous for you, your expectations may get in the way of a wonderful experience. Ultimately, you might be struggling with control issues now, so try letting go of your attachment to any desired outcome. If you are simply responsive without promoting your agenda, you may end up with more than you thought possible.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might believe that you have to stand strong today, but your worries about being judged harshly could prompt you to overstate your perspective. You may even be so rigid in your presentation that others pull away from you because they think there’s not enough room in your position for negotiation. Fortunately, you can soften your message without weakening your conviction. Keep in mind that someone’s alternative point of view doesn’t necessarily threaten yours.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your optimism has returned now that Mercury is moving direct in your sign, and you may not have the patience to listen to anyone else’s negativity about your plans. If someone is dissatisfied with your agenda today, you could be tempted to just take off and do your own thing. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to react so quickly if it means that you are excluding others. Take a few deep breaths and give them time to come around because it will be more fun to play in a group.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It might seem as if someone is exerting unnecessary influence over you today and it doesn’t feel right. Instead of avoiding a confrontation by retreating, you’re annoyed enough to face it head-on — especially if you know that you are right. However, you could inadvertently create a situation where being a winner makes someone else a loser. Rather than sinking into unnecessary competition now, change the framework into a cooperative one where everyone comes out ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like it when someone is clear about his or her needs, but you’re not as supportive if a friend or co-worker is acting selfishly today. You may try to maintain your positive attitude, but you might respond with forceful words if someone pushes you too hard. It’s your decision; you don’t have to encourage conflict. You have the power to deflect aggression by quietly holding on to your position and waiting things out.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel the need to put on a show at work today because you want to be noticed for your contributions. But instead of drawing attention to yourself, just go about your business because completing your chores and fulfilling your obligations will garner more support than empty shenanigans. In the long run doing your job well brings you more recognition than shining a spotlight on yourself.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 11th

We may retreat to reconnect with our feelings when the Moon shifts into reflective Cancer at 8:25 am EST. But the Moon’s square to wild Uranus and opposition to intense Pluto suggest that our inner journey won’t be an easy one if we reconsider old insecurities that resurface now. We must think before we speak, since a stressful Mercury-Venus semisquare encourages us to ask for what we want without being concerned about other people’s feelings.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have a familiar sinking feeling today as you realize that your actions are not supporting your desires. It’s no fun to encounter this same dilemma again, yet you’re still tempted to take the path of denial by ignoring the message of your heart. Keep in mind that you will be happier once you stop long enough to listen to your emotions. Unfortunately, intuition isn’t useful if you keep overriding it with rational thoughts and empty justifications.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could feel stuck behind a wall of worry as you hold on to old beliefs that aren’t relevant to your current situation. Nevertheless, you may still create convincing stories to justify your fears today. But self-doubt isn’t helpful and only increases your sense of isolation. Rather than looking back to the past, envision the future just as you wish to see it. Focusing on positive affirmations is smarter now than playing into a more negative outlook.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t have to stay in constant motion today, even if you’re accustomed to running around. Although you may not be accomplishing much while moving at high speed, you could be pleasantly surprised with all you can get done just by slowing down. However, you might need to make other changes, too. Instead of trying to demonstrate your cleverness to everyone, listening more attentively will probably impress others more.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon returns to your introspective sign today, increasing your sensitivity and making you more aware of your inner process. You’re finally able to find the right words to describe how you feel. However, being clear about your needs is complicated because your moods change often now. You may be happy one moment and sad the next, so it’s crucial to inform others that your disclosures are true, but your thinking is still in flux.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Events may take a turn for the better today, yet you’re reminded that everything still takes longer than you expect. You might end up feeling disappointed if you think that you can push the river faster than it’s already flowing. However, you should be able to relax a bit once you remember that all water reaches the sea in time. Be smart and allow current events to follow their own natural course without any unnecessary pressure.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your mental gymnastics could be a way to maintain your illusion of control today. However, there’s nothing to be gained now by struggling with your analysis of a crucial issue. Sticking to the facts isn’t helpful because important information can come to you through the symbols in your imagination. Obstacles will be easier to overcome once you acknowledge the significance of your dreams even if they don’t make sense.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not normally like to play the role of a mother hen, but the nurturing Cancer Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility, encouraging you to stick your nose in everyone else’s business. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to distinguish between your need to be in control and your well-intentioned desire to help someone. Still, you can derive benefit from your intervention if you’re willing to stop to re-examine your motives prior to offering assistance.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can feel the rejuvenating effect from the Moon’s presence in fellow Water sign Cancer. Unfortunately, you might have been so busy recently that you forgot to check in with your feelings. Thankfully, it’s time to reconnect with your own center today. Once you move through your initial resistance, fears will dissipate and your reluctance will morph into the anticipation of what comes next.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A difficult emotional encounter isn’t usually enough to adversely affect your naturally upbeat attitude, yet you still might forget to count your blessings today. Although you’re quite able to sidestep the oncoming negativity, you could feel like a deer trapped by its own fear as it stares into the oncoming headlights. Nevertheless, you are in control of your own destiny and a passionate exchange could put you in touch with an important spiritual truth that leads you out of danger.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may grow annoyed if a close friend or partner seems overly needy today. You might even misinterpret someone’s emotional behavior as an apparent sign of weakness, especially if you don’t want your own feelings to stand in the way of your ambitions. Be careful; suppressing your more vulnerable side creates the wrong impression. Ironically, being open about your discomfort with someone else’s problems can actually lead to a deeper and more meaningful relationship.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be worried about how your close friends and family perceive you today, but don’t waste any time or energy on brooding. Thankfully, you should receive sufficient support so you can move through your fears pretty quickly. Shifting your focus away from your inner world and onto external events helps you maintain a positive attitude so you can make the most of the day.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An unspoken attraction could turn into an obsession today if you are trying to ignore the strong feelings you have for someone special. Avoiding your desires by pretending they don’t exist is not a healthy strategy because your secret feelings gain power if they remain in the dark. Just remember that you can acknowledge what you want without necessarily acting on it.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Dec. 9 – 11

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Edgy Energy

December 9 – 11

Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in jittery Gemini this weekend. The Moon flies into chatty Gemini on Thursday night, stimulating conversations but undercutting concentration. Maintaining focus isn’t easy with this lunar placement as the tumultuous emotions aroused by Saturday’s Full Moon can make you dizzy with diverse thoughts and feelings. This is definitely not the time to make major decisions unless they’ve been carefully considered and now you’re ready to pull the trigger. The atmosphere is highly charged, which can spark impulsive reactions at any moment.

Pushy Mars in orderly Virgo could bring frustration to the surface with its stressful 90-degree square to the Full Moon. Putting edgy energy into constructive projects is one way to apply this force positively. Rebellious Uranus also turns forward this weekend, waking the slumbering forces of radical change. This energetic shift adds another stick of dynamite waiting to be lit on this explosive weekend.

A lunar shift into cuddly Cancer on Sunday morning awakens feelings of vulnerability, yet this caring sign can also inspire you to help someone in need when compassion for others overcomes a sense of personal victimhood.

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Make the most of the Moon’s journey

All eyes are on the Moon as we near the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on December 10. But how much do you know about the Moon and how it affects you? Changing signs every two and a quarter days, the Moon is the fastest moving astrological “planet.”

The Moon represents our emotions, and as it travels through the different horoscope signs, our moods follow suit. We feel best and operate most effectively when we’re cooperating with the energy of the Moon, as indicated by the horoscope sign it’s in at any given time.

Monthly power times

Pay special attention to when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun sign — these few days of each month are your power times! The tides are flowing in your direction, so you’ll feel more confident and energized, and people are more likely to respond to you positively.

So, if you’re planning to invite someone special out on a date, ask for a raise, go on a job interview or any other task requiring self-assertion and risk-taking, these are the days to go for it.

On the flip side, when the Moon is in the sign opposite to your Sun sign, keep a low profile. (If you’re not sure which sign is opposite, just count six signs away from yours.) Catch up on rest, and do for others rather than expecting things to go your way. Plan accordingly — this is not the time to push it and try to get ahead.

Discover how to make the most of the Moon’s visit to each horoscope sign:

Aries Moon

Get physical! The first horoscope sign calls for action and movement. Go for a run or hike, dance, work out at the gym or find some other way to let off steam. Tempers can rise under this fiery Moon, so find healthy outlets for expression — physical and/or creative. This Moon can light a fire under you to start putting your ideas into action, so take a risk in the direction of your desires.

Taurus Moon

Slow down and take time to nurture your body and the planet. This sensual and earthy sign invites you to appreciate the physical world and the realm of the senses. Walk through the woods, work in the garden, get a massage or play soothing music. This tends to be a mellow, restful and reflective Moon — a time to practice simply being.

Gemini Moon

Call your friends, catch up on emails and chat with the neighbors while the Moon visits the airy sign of the Messenger. Your mind is especially active, even hyper-active, so give it something to stew on. This is an ideal time for taking (or teaching) a class, learning something new and exploring multiple perspectives. Follow your curiosity and keep an open mind.

Cancer Moon

Curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea during this homebody Moon (Cancer is, afterall, the Moon’s home sign). As a sensitive Water sign, the Crab calls for tuning in to your inner world. When you give yourself permission to feel and express your emotions, you’re more likely to avoid the down side of this Moon — crabbiness. Cook a nourishing meal, perhaps inviting a close friend or family member for dinner.

Leo Moon

This fiery Moon wants to play and celebrate. Let your inner child take the lead and do something spontaneous that serves no purpose beyond having fun. The Lion rules the heart, inspiring romance and passion — an ideal time for getting decked out in your most glamorous attire and hitting the town. Creative energy abounds — express yourself!

Virgo Moon

Attend to the nitty gritty details of daily life when the Moon enters this sign of service. Catching up on household chores, organizing the closet, balancing your checkbook — these mundane tasks might sound like a bore, but you feel so much better when you stop procrastinating and get the job done. People tend to be more critical and fault-finding than usual, so pay attention to the little things.

Libra Moon

The Moon in the horoscope sign of the Scales brings attention to what’s out of balance, inviting you to create more harmony in your relationships, environment and inner world. Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and the arts. Enhance your appearance with a new hair style or clothes, and plan to socialize. Cultural events and creative activities are especially recommended.

Scorpio Moon

Invite your inner witch or wizard to come out of hiding during this magical Moon, a prime time for casting spells and performing rituals. You’re more tuned into both the invisible realm and the dark side now — including shadowy emotions that require an outlet. Share your deepest feelings with someone you trust. This is not a time to party hearty with the crowds — plan an intimate date instead.

Sagittarius Moon

When the Moon visits the horoscope sign of the Archer, you’re ready for adventure, exploration and expansion. These days are perfect for travel. If you can’t take a trip in the physical world, broaden your intellectual and spiritual horizons by attending a lecture or workshop. Restlessness is common, as your mental arrows shoot out in multiple directions — plan for lots of activity, movement and socializing.

Capricorn Moon

Now is the optimal time to accomplish any ambitious projects requiring hard work, perseverance and pragmatism. For best results, mimic the Mountain Goat — move slowly, cautiously and deliberately as you reach for the top. Don’t let the heaviness and somber tone of this Moon get you down — if you stay focused on your plans and goals, you feel energized and productive.

Aquarius Moon

You’re in the mood for networking, connecting with friends and all group activities when the Moon calls on community-minded Aquarius. Your intuition is heightened, inviting flashes of insight that help you to see your life from a higher perspective. If you’re feeling stuck, this revolutionary Moon wants to liberate you from old ways of thinking and inspire you to make changes that enhance your sense of freedom.

Pisces Moon

During this sensitive and squishy Moon, retreat, rest and reflection are recommended. Your dreams are more active than usual, so pay attention — they may have important information for you. The sign of the Fish activates your imagination and fantasies, offering an ideal opportunity for creative expression, especially music, dance, painting and poetry.

New Moon Report for November 22nd – Sun in Sagittarius

 

  

Sun in Sagittarius

Tuesday, November 22, 8:08 am PDT, 11:08 am EDT

The Sagittarius Sun turns eyes toward distant skies where hope is revived by images of brighter days ahead. This uplifting fire sign can stir hearts with heroic stories and noble aspirations. Yet the shadow of its rampant optimism about tomorrow is denial of current concerns. Instead of dealing with the concrete issues of the present, we can escape into an imaginary future. Overselling ourselves on beliefs and plans may provide short-lived relief, yet can make reality more painful when we’re finally forced to face it. Judgment based on concepts of absolute right and wrong can crush compassion under the heel of self-righteousness. Yet when minds are open and innovative ideas are exchanged we can change the world.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for November 21st

A more cautious and down to earth approach to relationships is recommended this week. Chatty Mercury turns retrograde in enthusiastic Sagittarius on Thursday, tempting us to make promises that are difficult to keep. Romantic Venus’ shift into responsible Capricorn on Saturday doesn’t leave much room for error, so move carefully if you don’t want to make any mistakes.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Reining in your enthusiasm is essential to earning and maintaining trust this weekend. The outgoing Sagittarius Moon encourages you to overlook practical matters in your desire for excitement. However, loving Venus’ entry into serious Capricorn on Saturday suggests that your behavior will have lasting effects on your relationships. It’s perfectly fine to pursue pleasure, but exercising a little self-control goes a long way to gaining respect from those you admire.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Speaking frankly may rock your relationship boat this weekend, but withholding important feelings could be even worse. The outspoken Sagittarius Moon is traveling through your 8th House of Intimacy on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday, stirring up thoughts that you may not be able to keep to yourself. Additionally, your romantic ruling planet Venus enters your 9th House of Truth on Saturday, gently reminding you that honesty is the best policy. Wait for the appropriate moment and then deliver your message with kindness for the best possible outcome.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This could be an intense weekend with a potential for emotional extremes. The Sagittarius Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Partners on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday should enliven your social life. Your enthusiasm connects you with outgoing people, making it easy to share good times. Yet valuable Venus’ entry into responsible Capricorn on Saturday can put a distinct chill in the air. Exhibiting maturity and patience helps you gracefully adapt to any sudden changes in the emotional atmosphere.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expect things to shift in matters of the heart when loving Venus enters loyal Capricorn and your 7th House of Partners on Saturday. However, even this orderly sign cannot keep surprises from shaking up relationships. Sweet Venus forms a stressful square with unruly Uranus to wake up and electrify your connections with others. Feelings and plans can change in an instant; exercising your flexibility is essential to managing the chaotic energy without panicking. Keep your sense of humor intact as laughter is the best way to relax the tension in the air.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s playtime for you when the Moon dances into adventurous Sagittarius and your 5th House of Romance on Thursday night. You shouldn’t find it difficult to have fun and to attract all the attention your heart desires this weekend. There is, though, a possibility that you will take some personal risks that can push people to extremes. Some may be delighted by your bold and brash behavior while others could be shocked by your aggressiveness. Stop for a moment to consider your audience before you continue your show, and no one’s feelings will get hurt.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Messages are wildly mixed this weekend because the love planet Venus moves into your romantic 5th house on Saturday, which usually makes you more captivating to others. However, radical Uranus’ stressful square to sensual Venus springs surprises that could knock your plans for a loop with a sudden change of heart. Though if you’re willing to play in new and unfamiliar ways, you could have a shockingly good time.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Pleasure could be right around the next corner this weekend with the friendly Sagittarius Moon playing in your 3rd House of Environment on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. If you’re searching for a new companion, the spotlight on this neighborly part of your chart can connect you with someone not far from where you live. If you already have a partner, expect some lively conversations that surprise you with their openness and honesty. The truth could be unsettling, so speak with care and compassion if you don’t want to shake someone up or turn your love life upside down.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel carefree about spending your money and expending your energy with the Moon traveling in outgoing Sagittarius and your 2nd House of Resources on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. It’s appropriate to take some risks now and invest more in yourself. Of course, going too far can be costly, but if you stretch your boundaries you will create more opportunities for romantic encounters. However, if a situation doesn’t turn out as you expect, don’t let your disappointment discourage you from continuing to take chances on love.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The emotional Moon is hanging out in your sign this Thursday night, Friday and Saturday, which tends to dramatize your feelings. Going from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair makes for a wild and potentially uncomfortable experience. If you’re able to moderate your actions and attitudes, your weekend will be more enjoyable. However, playing it safe is not your usual strategy. So if you still want to shoot for the Moon, buckle up and prepare yourself for a ride that you may never forget.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Venus, the planet of love, moves into your disciplined sign on Saturday. While this transit is quite favorable for enjoying your relationships and attracting new people into your world, this weekend could get off to a rocky start. Revolutionary Uranus challenges resourceful Venus, creating chaos, surprises or breakthroughs in matters of the heart. Be ready to turn your plans in a radical new direction at a moment’s notice, since hunkering down and trying to stick with the methods of the past is unlikely to work.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Friends and colleagues can add a kick to your personal life with the exuberant Sagittarius Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. Just don’t expect others to be especially reliable now since plans can change instantaneously. A strong attraction to someone who isn’t emotionally available could inspire you to try some risky behavior. Carefully consider the consequences first before letting your impulses lead you into a sticky situation.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You should attract plenty of attention if you’re in a position of leadership on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. The adventurous Sagittarius Moon is traveling through your 10th House of Public Responsibility, which puts you in the spotlight while you’re taking care of business. It’s your turn to take the initiative to create relationship magic. It may seem like a risky move, but you’re better off pushing the limits than playing it safe in your pursuit of love.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for November 14th

Working and learning mix well with playing this weekend while the Moon visits competent Virgo. Winging it won’t invite intimacy, but taking on a project with someone is a way to get closer while getting things done. Sunday is a day of rest or, at least, escape. The Sun’s spacey square with dreamy Neptune is ideal for pushing reality out of the way and letting fantasies rule.

 

 
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Engaging in physical exercise can be a great way to connect with others this weekend. The Virgo Moon is traveling through your 6th House of Self-Improvement, which rewards you for purposeful efforts and planning ahead. However, there is a risk of being too critical or encountering people who focus on your flaws. Don’t waste time quibbling over minor details. Happily, Sunday is a time of forgiveness when mistakes can be erased with loving acts of kindness.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon is dancing in your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday, which should add some extra spice to your personal life. Yet the lunar presence in precise Virgo works best when you have specific activities scheduled in advance. Nevertheless, it’s important to be flexible enough to alter your plans if necessary. Aiming for perfection is admirable, but it’s not helpful to be too self-critical. A little improvement goes a long way to bring you some positive attention.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Entertaining at your place makes perfect sense this weekend. The Virgo Moon’s presence in your domestic 4th house on Friday and Saturday enables you to feel more comfortable and cozy at home. There’s no need to get overly elaborate since a simple, well-planned experience is more likely to succeed than going overboard. The Moon shifts into lovely Libra and your 5th House of Romance on Sunday evening, offering up the possibility of having a delicious time with a delightful companion.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Serious discussions are on the agenda this weekend. The analytical Virgo Moon spends Friday and Saturday working in your 3rd House of Communication. Nitpicking over little things and worrying about minor matters isn’t constructive, but addressing real concerns in specific terms is advised. Putting your feelings into words isn’t always easy, but clarifying issues that are important to you is worth the effort.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Managing all of your resources wisely, including your time, money and energy, is essential this weekend. The careful Virgo Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth signals a definite need to be realistic and modest in your approach. Even if you’re feeling confident, it’s smart to avoid overloading yourself with too many activities. Doing less with greater attention to detail is more satisfying now and others can’t help but appreciate and admire your work.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon in your sign this weekend casts you in the bright spotlight. It’s great to get all the attention as long as you’re not too hard on yourself in the process. Physical activities like dancing can be great fun on Friday night since you should have extra energy at your disposal. Letting your feelings rise to the surface might seem a little awkward, but it’s healthier to be honest than to hide your emotions now. Relationships rooted in reality have more chances for success as long as you speak from your heart.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon is hiding out in your secretive 12th house this weekend, which makes these better times for enjoying quiet, private events than being lost in the midst of a loud crowd. Intimate conversations or time alone can help you untangle some knots that inhibit your relationships. Connecting with others is easy once you are back to your usual charming and friendly self on Sunday night when the Moon moves into your sociable sign. Shining your light will attract the ones you love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Friends and co-workers supplement your social life this weekend because going out with a group of people or connecting with someone through an organization can be surprisingly rewarding. Keep in mind that an attraction to a pal or colleague might complicate matters. Still, being with someone who shares your ideals and values can get a relationship off to a good start. The Moon slips into Libra and your 12th House of Privacy on Sunday night, which is perfect for enjoying some rest and relaxation.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may have too many obligations on your plate to be able to fulfill your social aspirations this weekend. The Moon is in your 10th House of Responsibility on Friday and Saturday, which occupies your time with a multitude of tasks. Still, taking care of business in a competent manner may impress others and makes you more desirable to someone special. Sunday night is a whole different ballgame once the Moon shifts into sociable Libra and your gregarious 11th house, enabling you to work the crowd with your charm and humor.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Breaking free from your usual activities is a wonderful way to liven up the weekend. The Virgo Moon is traveling through your adventurous 9th House on Friday and Saturday, encouraging you to explore unfamiliar territory. Participating in cultural events, especially from faraway places, can be extremely rewarding. Just don’t compare everything you see and do to your traditional tastes. Stepping outside of your comfort zone opens your mind to new forms of pleasure and delight.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Dealing with relationship complications may not be your idea of fun, but it could be just what the doctor ordered for this weekend. The rational Virgo Moon is in your 8th House of Intimacy, challenging you to address values and desires that are different from your own. Yet if you embrace this emotional process, you can enhance a current alliance or increase your chances of creating a new one. Just remember that being kind while being real is key.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Virgo Moon is hanging out in your 7th House of Partners on Friday and Saturday, which puts relationships front and center in your life. The challenge is to deal with matters in a more realistic way instead of letting your emotions get the best of you. Talking about what works and what doesn’t work is not the most romantic activity. Yet your willingness to examine issues in a mature manner builds the foundation for a successful union.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 7th

Moods shift with the changing breeze and hearts grow restless this weekend. The Moon in jumpy Gemini invites curiosity and loves to flirt, but settling into a deep place and staying there will not be easy. Still, conversations flow with an overload of information and a willingness to talk to almost anyone.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon’s presence in verbal Gemini and your chatty 3rd house encourages you to say whatever comes to mind without thinking first. Luckily, your flirtatious charm can open the way to meeting interesting people this weekend. Yet following up on commitments may be a challenge in this easily distracted sign. Playful companions and a variety of activities are more likely to fulfill your needs than locking yourself into a major project or having to deal with complex feelings.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your sense of self-worth can fluctuate wildly this weekend, which can run you through a gamut of emotions. However, this isn’t the time to settle matters, but is one when it’s best to adapt, adjust and not take yourself or anyone else too seriously. The Moon in the butterfly sign of Gemini is wonderful for keeping things light. Exploring different kinds of people and experiences where no commitment is required should work best.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon is hanging out in your flexible sign this weekend, sending your body, mind and heart off in a million different directions this weekend. But even if you’re scattered in your thinking, you should be able to attract attention quite easily. Just keep stress to a minimum by adopting a playful attitude instead of taking things too seriously. Teasing and flirting might not reveal deep feelings, but they can be a delightful source of low risk recreation.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could feel like you’re an observer rather than a participant in the social realms this weekend. The emotionally detached Gemini Moon is occupying your 12th House of Privacy, which is not ideal for grabbing anyone’s attention or hanging out in crowds. However, it’s an excellent time for resting and relaxing without the pressure of entertaining others. Spending time alone or with one relatively quiet and undemanding person could be just what the doctor ordered.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Friends and colleagues stimulate your social life this weekend or make you crazy with their inconsistency. Sudden changes of plans and unexpected shifts of mood make it hard for you to know where you stand. But if you’re able to let go of expectations and roll with the tides, you can have plenty of fun. Meeting someone when you’re part of a group could turn out to be a pleasant surprise.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Be careful about taking on too many responsibilities because you could end up with so many obligations that you don’t have any time left for fun. That would be a shame with the Moon in flirtatious Gemini this weekend, which makes it easier to meet someone new or refresh an ongoing partnership. It’s best, though, to take things lightly because moods shift quickly and commitments can fail due to lack of focus and follow-through. Give yourself permission to let your hair down and have a good time without worrying about tomorrow.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You need to stretch your mind and your legs this weekend by getting away from your usual routine. Exploring new places and ideas is nourishing with the Moon in curious Gemini and your 9th House of Travel and Higher Education. Smart people are especially attractive now and your ability to keep up your end of an interesting conversation makes you more desirable, too. Just keep things on the light side instead of tackling anything too heavy.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may find it hard to get a fix on others this weekend, even if it’s your partner who you know so well. The jittery Gemini Moon shakes up your 8th House of Intimacy with fluctuating feelings and inconsistent individuals. The point is not to make you crazy but to remind you to relax and take a lighter approach to your interactions. This is a fine time to flirt or have an innocent fling but it’s not ideal for addressing more complicated emotional issues.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your personal life is on the move this weekend with the Moon traveling through mobile Gemini and your 7th House of Partners. Don’t expect reliability from even the most stable people since the winds of change will affect everyone. Opening up new topics of discussion in a current relationship or when meeting someone new is bound to be stimulating. Getting agreement on anything important, though, can be difficult, so it’s best not to push on the delicate points.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Don’t let the little things get you down this weekend. The Moon is in flighty Gemini and your 6th House of Details, which can have you scurrying around to put everything in place. It’s better to let go of minor matters, relax and let the less responsible side of your personality take charge. Plans change quickly and moods are inconsistent in spite of your desire for order. Compromising is less stressful than driving yourself crazy trying to control everything.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could be in for a great time this weekend with the Moon’s presence in flirtatious Gemini and your 5th House of Romance. This is a perfect time for being playful, but not as useful for dealing with serious personal issues. Let your inner child out to play and you’re almost guaranteed to have a good time. Having fun can be surprisingly sexy as a joyful attitude makes you more desirable to others.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Are you ready for fun at your place this weekend? The friendly Gemini Moon is visiting your domestic 4th house, which is great for entertaining at home. Just don’t make it a formal affair since the sign of the Twins makes us happier in casual environments. Talking through your feelings in private can alleviate some pressure, but don’t expect an immediate solution to any long-term relationship issues now. Laughter is the best medicine for a weary heart.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for October 21 – 23

by Jeff Jawer

Playful but Practical

October 21 – 23

Hearts open and heads swell with the Moon in self-important Leo on Friday. Confidence is likely to rise as we’re empowered by a belief in ourselves that encourages risk-taking in relationships. Dramatic gestures are par for Leo’s course, but even more so now because of the Sun’s harmonious alignment with mystical Neptune. This event casts a gauzy aura of mystery and magic over Friday night, which can be very entertaining but hardly representative of lasting reality. Attractions arise easily in this misty atmosphere where reason and common sense may be hard to find. But turning an initial interest into a lasting flame of love will require more than one romantic evening.

Saturday brings a more scrutinizing perspective with a lunar transit into pragmatic Virgo. This analytical Earth sign isn’t into vague promises, laziness and sloppy behavior. Romance and productivity go together in practical Virgo, making this a perfect time to tackle tasks with a willing partner. Developing skills is another positive way to make use of this lunar transit, so taking a class or seminar can be a good way to meet someone or infuse new interest in an ongoing relationship. Virgo’s critical eye, though, tends to spot the tiniest flaws but, obviously, obsessing about them is to be avoided.
