Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for October 14th – 16th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Picking up Speed

October 14 – 16

Friday is perfect for life in the slow lane. The mood-setting Moon is in stable Taurus, which likes to find a comfortable situation and stay in it as long as possible. This sensual Earth sign, though, is especially hungry for love, companionship and pleasure on Friday when its amorous ruling planet Venus opposes Jupiter. This yummy alignment of attractive Venus and expansive Jupiter increases appetites for all the delicious things in life. Self-indulgence, though, is one risk, while over-estimating someone else is another. Stretching the boundaries of taste is appropriate as long as it doesn’t cost too much. Still, don’t forget about the powers of food and touch to tap into the best the Bull has to offer.

The pace changes considerably on Saturday when the Moon bounces into jittery Gemini. Energy is all over the place with a hundred ideas and activities calling for attention. Conversations flow freely in this chatty sign, but it’s also easy to talk without commitment or a profound depth of feeling. Friendliness and flirtatiousness are traits more associated with fickle Gemini than fidelity, so people tend to avoid serious issues to keep things light-hearted. Still, Gemini’s verbal ruling planet Mercury forms a supportive aspect with incisive Pluto on Sunday that makes deeper discussions more likely.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 11th

We grow increasingly aware of how our friends, associates and partners restrain our emotional expression today as the impulsive Aries Moon excites our need to share our feelings. But the reactive Aries Full Moon at 10:05 pm EDT opposes the willful Sun in socially conscious Libra, pushing us to balance our desires with the expectations of others. Additionally, the Full Moon’s opposition to hard-nosed Saturn requires us to choose work over play.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Full Moon in your fiery sign might agitate your anger if you feel blocked by someone who is exerting control over you. Your initial reaction is to just come on stronger and steamroll your way over anyone else’s objections. Unfortunately, you could misjudge the severity of the situation. Don’t waste your energy by creating more conflict. Back down, take a deep breath and seek common ground instead.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s possible that job-related responsibilities have stacked up so high that you want to just run and hide. But burying your head in the sand will not help in the long run — and it might not even alleviate the pressure in the present moment. Rather than trying to handle all your obligations at once, set priorities early in the day. Once you have a sensible plan, work steadily toward achieving your goals. If necessary, you can always pick up the slack tomorrow.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If your enthusiasm prompted you to go too far yesterday, you might need to make an apology, pull back on the reins and reconsider your next move before you make matters worse. Ironically, your optimism may not be dampened; it’s just that your goals are intertwined with others and you cannot charge off on your own. There’s no reason to be discouraged; regrouping before you push forward again will only increase your chances of success.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Domestic obligations may prevent you from rushing ahead with a new project at work as today’s enterprising Aries Full Moon illuminates your 10th House of Career. Even if you’re uncharacteristically eager to head off on a different professional path, you’ll first have to get the support from your closest friends and family — and it may not be as forthcoming as you wish. Don’t ignore your family responsibilities because your true security depends on having a strong foundation.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your mind is taking you on a wonderful adventure today as the uplifting Aries Full Moon shines in your 9th House of Faraway Places. Although your current vision may be grounded in reality, there’s no shortcut to get from here to there. Face the facts and realize that you may have to manifest this dream the old-fashioned way with a concrete plan, hard work and patience.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Today’s action-oriented Aries Full Moon brightens your 8th House of Shared Resources, encouraging you to collaborate with someone on your project in order to make the most of a current opportunity. Don’t be concerned if you have to give up some control over the direction of your work or if you must share any potential rewards. What you can accomplish in partnership now will outshine what you could have done on your own.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s not easy to set aside your previous agenda and join forces with someone else today, even if a co-worker’s plan sounds intriguing. The assertive Aries Full Moon activates your 7th House of Others, yet its tense opposition to the Sun and restrictive Saturn in your sign makes it difficult for you to be lured off track. Stop worrying about what might have been if you said yes; concentrate on accomplishing the goals you have already set for yourself, instead.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A significant breakthrough in your daily routine can lead you to doing your work more efficiently than ever before. But the potential increase in productivity brought about by today’s spontaneous Aries Full Moon in your 6th House of Habits may require you to move much slower than you prefer. Instead of jumping on the first good idea that comes along now, let your thoughts wander until you know that you have a winner.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Falling in love today is a real possibility with the ardent Aries Full Moon stimulating your 5th House of Romance and Self-Expression. But your current zest for life goes beyond an attraction to someone who excites your heart. Even if you want to pursue a relationship, a fascinating course of study, an intriguing idea or a new hobby, it’s wise to take your time before turning your life upside down. You can always follow your bliss later when it’s not so disruptive.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re eager for a blast of something new on the home front, but you may not have the time or energy to turn your plans into reality. The irrepressible Aries Full Moon in your 4th House of Security pushes you to tell your friends and family what you want. However, her opposition to dutiful Saturn in your 10th House of Public Responsibility means that you must satisfy your professional obligations first. Don’t be distracted by a false sense of urgency; patience works in your favor this time around.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be inclined to suddenly change your schedule today as the unstoppable Aries Full Moon lights up your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. But an unpremeditated shift in your agenda could stir up more than just a bit of excitement as unexpected consequences to your spontaneous behavior take on a life of their own. For now, the solution is easy: focus on your long-term goals and not on the present moment.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could come up with original ways to make money today because the pioneering Aries Full Moon brightens your 2nd House of Income. But it’s crucial to realize that your enthusiasm could make you believe that an idea is better than it actually will be in reality. Instead of going off on a wild goose chase, take the time to discuss your thoughts with someone you trust and listen carefully to the advice you are given.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 3rd

There’ s a significant shift in relationships this weekend when the love planet Venus leaves polite and accommodating Libra and enters intensely passionate Scorpio very late on Saturday night. The emotional atmosphere is bound to thicken as needs and desires are examined more deeply and the commitment level goes up with partners, or we recognize that the well is running dry.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your imagination is flowing this weekend, enriching your social life with creative ideas. But it can also entice you into letting fantasy overcome reality, leading you down a questionable path. It’s fun to play games as long as you know the rules. However, if you’re uncertain or uninterested, it’s better to sit things out and relax at home than to follow an unreliable person into a sketchy situation.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

If you’ve been toiling in the fields of romantic despair recently, that’s likely to start changing late Saturday night. Your ruling planet Venus is shifting from your 6th House of Work to your 7th House of Equality, opening the door to more fulfilling relationships. Even if there are some unfinished bits of emotional business that remain, courageously addressing your concerns will help you move on to better times.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your communicative ruling planet Mercury joins serious Saturn on Thursday, which may force you to face some hard realities. If you’re willing to address the tough issues with honesty and maturity, you may earn respect or, at least, gain clarity. Instead of saying what others want to hear, engaging in straight talk without descending into blame can add strength and stability to your personal life.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon sails through magical Pisces this weekend, inspiring you to dream about faraway places and unfamiliar faces. This lunar transit in your 9th House of Travel attracts you to people and experiences that enlarge your vision of the world. Attending cultural, religious and educational events increases your chances of meeting an interesting new person or adding more meaning to your current relationship.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Tenderness may be the most important quality in your personal life this weekend. The Moon is in watery Pisces and your 8th House of Intimacy, which can make you more emotional or attract sensitive people. Don’t deny your vulnerability or ignore someone else’s, because facing these feelings is the key to deepening an existing connection or getting closer to someone new.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The sweet and sensitive Pisces Moon lights up your 7th House of Partnerships with warm feelings this weekend. A gentle person will respond to your care, compassion and imagination, but an overly cool or critical approach is a guaranteed mood killer. A little forgiveness of yourself and others will go a long way to improving your relationship life. Let go of the minor matters so you can see the bigger picture, instead.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you’ve been recently letting someone slack off out of the goodness of your heart, you may have a change of tune this weekend. Your loving ruling planet Venus enters scrutinizing Scorpio and your 2nd House of Self-Worth, which can help you re-evaluate what you’re getting from others. If a situation is unfair, don’t clam up just to keep the peace. Gently expressing your dissatisfaction gives you a perfect chance to make things right.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could be in for a delicious weekend with the sweet Pisces Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance and Play. This favorable transit can cast you in the best possible light and allow you to let your worries melt away. Amorous Venus enters your passionate sign late on Saturday night, which is another asset for relationships. You have a healthy connection with your needs now, increasing your chances of fulfilling them.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The emotional atmosphere is cloudy this weekend with the Moon in fantasy-oriented Pisces and your 4th House of Roots. While your mind may drift down memory lane reflecting on old loves, returning to the present and paying attention to the one you’re with now will make you a more appealing partner. However, if you’re feeling uncharacteristically shy or sentimental, taking some personal time for yourself makes perfect sense.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your sharp thinking makes it easy for you to see where improvements can be made, but being critical of others this weekend requires a very delicate touch. The Moon’s in tender Pisces and your 3rd House of Communication, amplifying the impact of your words. Don’t let details get in the way of a pleasant conversation that may not be entirely realistic, but which creates a sense of closeness that’s worth more.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The imaginative Pisces Moon is traveling through your 2nd House of Self-Worth this weekend, making this a wonderful time to invest in yourself. Activities, outfits and objects that add a little touch of whimsy to your life not only make you feel good but could make you more attra

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 30 – Oct. 2

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

No Holding Back

September 30 – 2

Friday starts out with the Moon in steamy Scorpio, which is great for subtle seduction — indirectness and hints of interest can be especially enticing now. The evening ends with a lunar transit into high-spirited Sagittarius where there’s little room for secrets or subtlety. There’s no holding back in this enthusiastic sign, which is wonderful for being open and honest, but a tad insensitive in its delivery. Exuberant Sagittarius is restless and seeks new experiences, so exploring unfamiliar places, engaging in outdoor activities or examining intellectual pursuits is especially exciting. There’s little interest in sentiment as ruminating over the past can seem outdated and irrelevant.

Pushing the envelope by taking physical, mental and emotional risks is where the fun is this weekend. There’s a playful kind of competitiveness that’s not so much about beating the other person, but more about pushing both of you as far as you can go. Be careful with humor, though, because in the midst of hilarity it’s possible to say something that you might regret. The easygoing attitude of Sagittarius can give rise to careless remarks and reckless behavior. And the unbridled optimism of this sign may tempt you to make promises you won’t keep or raise your expectations too high. Joyfully enjoying the present moment without looking longingly backward or thinking too far ahead sounds just about right.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for Sept. 26th

While romance is always fun, taking relationships more seriously is top priority this week. The love planet Venus runs into responsible Saturn on Thursday, indicating that patience, maturity and commitment are especially valuable now. If loneliness is an issue, creating a regular routine of play, artistic expression or self-improvement can enhance your self-worth and make you a more inviting partner.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might feel like others are being tougher on you than usual this week, but the point is to force you to be clear about your expectations in relationships. It’s time to fully commit to your current partner or to make whatever long-term changes are necessary. Be patient; investing more of yourself in your present alliance or working harder to attract a new one is a process that will not happen overnight.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Growing closer with someone requires a willingness to stretch your boundaries this weekend. The Moon is traveling through risk-taking Sagittarius and your 8th House of Intimacy, challenging you to be more honest about your desires, but also encouraging you to keep an open mind. If you adopt an experimental approach, new forms of play can revive passion with your present partner or help you attract a playful new companion.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The adventurous Sagittarius Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners this weekend, inspiring you to test your flirtatious charms on someone special. However, there may be a tendency to promise more than you can deliver or an urge to commit to an overly optimistic person. If the relationship is solid, making big plans together is reasonable; but if you’re uncertain for any reason, don’t let your enthusiasm drown out your common sense.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It might be hard to find the sincere connection you crave as the Moon fires into lighthearted Sagittarius late on Friday night. This lunar transit tends to put people in a sales mode that presents positive pictures even if they don’t accurately reflect the facts. Taking a break from dealing with challenging emotional issues is fine as long as all you’re seeking is a good time and you aren’t planning something serious.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can be in total play and romance mode this weekend when the Moon dances into risk-taking Sagittarius and your expressive 5th house late on Friday night. Taking a chance on love could be your theme now as you’re eager to put your heart on the line. Your outgoing behavior is bound to attract attention, although if you come on too strong, you might scare away someone who’s much more timid than you.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Entertaining a special person at your place sounds about right this weekend. The Moon’s presence in your domestic 4th house makes you feel more comfortable when you’re the home team. If you feel safe enough, sharing a deeper level of honesty and a greater willingness to show your playful side are likely. Keeping your expectations on an even keel, though, could be the key to having a pleasurable time without any drama.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’ve got the gift of gab this weekend and are likely to feel at ease conversing with just about anyone. The carefree Sagittarius Moon is in your 3rd House of Communication, which can turn a walk around the block into an exotic outing. You’re turned on by interesting ideas and inquisitive minds, enabling a simple learning experience to be sexy. However, finding someone who can take a joke is a must if you want the connection to last.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon in rowdy Sagittarius is meant to inspire the playful and worry-free side of your personality this weekend. Set aside your serious concerns about the future and put away your unfinished emotional business from the past. You’re free to play with abandon now, which will make you feel a lot more comfortable with yourself and a much more desirable companion for someone else.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The mood-setting Moon rockets into your adventurous sign late on Friday to set your emotions on fire this weekend. Every moment can seem larger than life, creating higher highs and also dramatizing the lows. It’s healthy to recognize when your reactions are out of sync with reality. Still, you’re unlikely to go unnoticed when your personality is popping like champagne corks on New Year’s Eve. Make the most of the spotlight, but try not to take yourself too seriously in the process.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Getting as far away from your usual routine as possible is a smart move this weekend while the restless Sagittarius Moon is camping out in your 12th House of Retreats. Whether you just cut yourself off from the rest of the world to find the peace you seek or embark on an adventure in a strange environment, change is a good thing. Just be very discreet about who you’re with and what you say since secrets have a tendency to leak and cause their own brand of trouble.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Hanging out with pals or working within a group should suit you perfectly this weekend. The visionary Sagittarius Moon is in your 11th House of Community, kicking your idealistic principles up another level. The best chance for meeting someone special is when you’re out helping others, or you can strengthen an existing bond while contributing to a worthy cause. Combining personal pleasure with charitable work is a win-win proposition.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The optimistic Sagittarius Moon’s presence in your 10th House of Public Responsibility could put you on the spot this weekend. Others are looking to you for leadership, which gives you a perfect chance to show how much you care. But spending so much time and energy encouraging and guiding your colleagues could leave you with fewer resources for yourself. Setting healthy boundaries is vital to your well-being now. Ironically, earning respect may not sound sexy, yet it could easily lead to romance.

Weekly Love Horoscopes for the Week of Monday, September 19th

Relationship season begins on Friday when the Sun enters peace-seeking Libra, the sign of partnering. Greater consciousness of what it takes to make unions work is a potential benefit during the next thirty days. However, a provocative Mars-Uranus trine on Friday may trigger shocking surprises and powerful impulses that can shake existing alliances or break open the possibilities for very different kinds of new ones. Adaptability is essential during these changing times; standing still is no longer a viable option.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re ready to be your rowdy and rambunctious self this weekend when the Moon visits your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. Taking some playful risks is difficult to resist now that experimental Uranus is activating your passionate ruling planet Mars. It’s a good time to have fun without concerning yourself too much about long-term consequences.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be a little off your game on Friday and Saturday with the Moon traveling through your 6th House of Adjustments. However, making compromises can pay off on Sunday with a lunar shift into your 5th House of Romance. Creating specific plans for a special outing is likely to be rewarded with plenty of pleasure. Yet trying to improvise at the last minute could leave you feeling less appreciated than you like.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

There are plenty of good reasons to be as outgoing as possible this weekend. The Sun’s entry into your 5th House of Self-Expression on Friday sets you up to attract plenty of attention. And, the Moon’s presence in bold Leo and your chatty 3rd House on Friday and Saturday makes it easy to demonstrate your creativity and meet new people in the process. Your playful comments, though, may be taken seriously unless you make it perfectly clear that you’re only joking.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Making peace with the past is the best way to ensure a more fulfilling relationship future. The Sun enters harmonious Libra and your 4th House of Roots on Friday, offering you a completely different perspective on your personal history. Instead of running the gamut between high hopes and deep doubts, finding your inner emotional balance will put you in a much more comfortable place.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s presence in your outgoing and dramatic sign on Friday and Saturday can unleash your inner party animal. You’re not going to go unnoticed, even if you have to go to extremes to get attention. Still, if you act with reckless abandon, prepare to shift from public boldness to gentleness in private to create the heart connection you desire.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tempting to stand on the sidelines and find fault with others on Friday and Saturday. The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Privacy tends to make you feel like an outsider. But on Sunday the mood-setting Moon enters your pragmatic sign, giving you the green light for making a move. Just remember that an open heart and generous spirit are worth more than perfect looks or exemplary behavior.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Sun’s entry into your sociable sign on Friday is likely to put you in a more outgoing mood. Hanging out with playful friends or participating in a fun group event can really get your motor going on Friday and Saturday. Being the leader of the pack is certainly a good way to earn attention and respect, enabling you to show a more confident side of your personality which makes you more captivating to your admirers.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Of course, you can always find flaws when you look for them, but that’s a good way to sideline your social life this weekend. The Moon is in expressive Leo and your 10th House of Career on Friday and Saturday, which can put you in a position of responsibility. Handling your obligations with a playful attitude and a generous heart lightens your load and casts you in a bright spotlight of desirability.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your restless spirit is stoked for adventure with the Moon traveling through your 9th House of Faraway Places on Friday and Saturday. Connecting with someone from a different culture or experiencing art, food or music from other countries can provide the spice to make this a delicious time. If you have a partner, try doing something totally new together, since sticking to familiar activities lacks the excitement you need now.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Dealing with an overheating individual is possible this weekend with the fiery Leo Moon lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy on Friday and Saturday. While you might be right to be skeptical about someone who promises too much, it’s probably wise to open up a little bit in your approach. Taking chances may not be your usual practice, but when it comes to matters of the heart, this is a time to push your luck.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon is moving through your relationship houses all weekend, putting partnership concerns on the front burner. Let your brain work less and your heart open more on Friday and Saturday when the Leo Moon rewards those who take risks. A lunar shift into logical Virgo on Sunday is when it’s appropriate to adopt a more practical view of the situation and make whatever adjustments are needed.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon is the key to your emotions, and she sits below the horizon in your chart this weekend until the wee hours on Sunday morning. That’s when the fun begins for you, because your chances of connecting with someone new or making improvements in a current relationship are likely. Remember that you can be specific about your needs and still be a loving and generous person.

Your Daily Horoscopes for September 15th

The feisty Aries Moon gives us one last kick as she forms a dynamic square with aggressive Mars today. But this is also the first full day of sweet Venus’ visit to her airy home sign Libra, encouraging us to turn on the charm and reach out to others. The mood changes abruptly as the Moon shifts into Venus’ other home sign, earthy Taurus, at 3:24 pm EDT, reinforcing our desire for pleasure while reminding us to enjoy the simpler things in life.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be worried that you have too much going on today, but you should be able to complete most of your tasks as long as you remember to remain focused. Fortunately, you can turn a tricky set of circumstances into a manageable situation, but there isn’t much margin for error. Even if you cannot finish everything, give yourself permission to feel good about your efforts.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The bumps in the road could smooth out today when the Moon returns to your determined sign. Although you apply yourself diligently toward your responsibilities, meeting your obligations isn’t enough to bring satisfaction; you also want to enjoy yourself in the process. Ironically, finishing your work can leave you feeling frustrated, unless you have a partner to share in your success. Spice up your day by asking someone to join you for a bit of fun.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel irritated by the restrictions being placed on you today. You might need to cut your extracurricular activities short so you can take care of a chore at home or respond to a family matter. Don’t fret over a missed social opportunity because it’s healthier to simply let it go. You will feel better now if you just focus on doing your job well and helping out any way you can.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your life seems uncomplicated when you just do what you’re supposed to do. But even if you know what you should be working on, you may lack the inspiration that’s required to conjure up the correct magical words or actions. Even if you aren’t very excited about what’s ahead, keep plodding through the day. Luckily, your enthusiasm will gather momentum, giving you the ability to affect others in a positive manner.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re progressing toward your destination and, fortunately, your recent efforts finally begin to show progress. However, you may not have a lot of time to celebrate because there’s so much to do in order to fulfill your professional commitments. Although a sudden attraction could catch you off guard, it’s best to maintain a healthy perspective and refrain from impulsive or obsessive behavior. Honor your feelings, but don’t lose sight of those things that are important to your work.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s shift into stable Taurus indicates that you must pay attention to the practical side of life. You may not want to stop what you’re doing just to engage in essential activities such as drinking and eating, but running off to participate in a wildly impractical adventure can be dangerous now. Don’t wait until your health is compromised before you start taking care of yourself.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have a gnawing sensation that your social conditions are becoming too complicated to manage now. It feels as if something is going to change, but you cannot tell what it may be yet. You might even feel on edge as you run through all the possibilities. Unfortunately, your heightened sense of anticipation of the unknown could be happening a few weeks too soon. Instead of worrying about what’s ahead, finish up anything you’ve already started and give yourself a chance to relax.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your social life may be very active these days, but it’s important to be discriminating about what you do so you aren’t lured away from your responsibilities. It’s wise to be practical, even if your fantasies are another source of distraction now that Venus is visiting your 12th House of Dreams. But don’t just spend your time making plans. A methodical approach and consistent effort may not produce immediate results, but you’ll gain significant momentum over the days ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may rebel if you are expected to manage a whole lot of details today because being serious is not your idea of fun and games. Still, you’re bound to feel much better if you can tie up as many loose ends as possible. Just don’t take any shortcuts because questionable motives will invite the energy to unravel what you already completed. It’s more important now to follow through on a project already in motion than to go off on a new venture.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s shift into fellow Earth sign Taurus this evening reflects your need to slow down and get things right the first time. You can always make plans for your next great adventure tomorrow. Still, this isn’t a particularly easy day, but you can be very productive if you’re willing to balance your down-to-earth approach with your ambitious goals.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be feeling extra clever now and are motivated to move quickly on your plans for the immediate future. But, too much spontaneity can spell trouble, so look carefully at what you are going to do prior to initiating action. Be smart and reconsider your options, while you still have time. Postpone the actual start date until next week for the best results.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The picky Virgo Sun is camping out in your 7th House of Partnerships now, suggesting that you must deal with more interpersonal drama than you prefer. But the Moon in your 3rd House of Communication starts a conversation with a practical person, revealing the weak links in your pet project. Don’t shut out your friends who disagree with your opinions. Opening your mind increases your chances of cultivating successful relationships.

Weekly Love Horoscopes for September 12th

The road to love grows wider this week with beautiful Venus’ entry into the relationship sign Libra on Wednesday. Yet it’s likely to be a bumpy ride when volatile Uranus opposes the romance planet on Saturday. Meeting unusual people and experimenting with unfamiliar forms of fun works best with an open mind and a friendly heart. However, holding on tightly to outmoded expectations will probably increase stress and reduce the chances for having fun.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Alluring Venus’ entry into gracious Libra and your 7th House of Partners brings more beauty to your personal life for the next few weeks. Take the time to create a romantic experience instead of trying to cram a date into a short break in your busy schedule. The Moon’s presence in easygoing Taurus for most of the weekend is more inviting when you operate at a leisurely pace, slow down to smell the flowers and appreciate the gift of the present moment.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon enters your earthy sign on Thursday afternoon, deepening your feelings until Sunday morning. Shake up your usual way of entertaining or switch up your normal look since flirty Venus’ opposition to innovative Uranus on Saturday makes the unexpected more intriguing. Taking the road less traveled may seem like the long way to reach your goals, but going the unconventional route now is a much surer highway to happiness.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel underappreciated during some of this weekend as the mood-setting Moon is hiding out in your ultra-private 12th House until Sunday morning. Staying out of the spotlight, though, doesn’t have to be lonely. Spending quiet time with one special person or kicking back on your own can give you time to sort out your thoughts and restore your energy before recovering your usual social spark. Save the socializing for Sunday when you feel ready to shine.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Being part of a group can bring new excitement to your social life this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 11th House of Friends from Thursday until Sunday, inviting new connections when you’re part of a team. You may, however, encounter unreliable people on Saturday, so prepare to shift gears and change your plans quickly if needed. Flexibility brings opportunity while resistance leaves you out of the fun.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel pulled between having a wildly good time this weekend or sacrificing your fun to meet your responsibilities. The good news is that both activities are possible if you manage your time very carefully. There’s no need for extravagance to make a good impression; you can have a great emotional connection without any elaborate plans. In fact, keeping it simple might be the fastest way to someone’s heart now.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may want to stray far from your usual hangouts this weekend while the Moon highlights your 9th House of Travel from Thursday until Sunday, stirring up an itch for travel. Fortunately, you don’t have to leave town to tap into this adventurous spirit because there are unfamiliar places nearby that can fulfill this need for something exotic. Attending events involving foreign cultures is one good way to broaden your social horizons and possibly meet someone new.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Lovely Venus, your romantic ruling planet, enters your sign on Wednesday, which should make you even more charming and desirable than usual. Yet there’s a twist this weekend when Venus opposes radical Uranus and provokes some shocking behavior. Think of this as a time to experiment when you’re free to try something new. Taking risks in what you do and say may feel slightly dangerous, but the thrill makes it worthwhile.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon moves into your 7th House of Relationships on Thursday and will continue to warm up this partnership part of your chart until early Sunday morning. Normally, the Taurus Moon’s visit attracts down-to-earth people, but there’s a blip on the screen on Saturday that’s likely to spring some surprises. Staying light on your feet so you can adapt to unexpected shifts of plans or moods enables you to make quick adjustments when needed.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Work and Service this weekend can bog you down with details and obligations. Yet in the wee hours of Sunday morning a lunar transit into your 7th House of Partners gets you out of the penalty box and back into the game. Save your special moments for the second half of the weekend and you’re more than likely to share them with a lively companion.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Let your body and your basic (but kindest) instincts lead the way from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning, when the sensual Taurus Moon lights up your 5th House of Romance. This is an invitation to pleasure without a need to justify your desire for having a good time, and sharing your heart in a simple, straightforward manner. Joy comes without complications, if you will open up your heart and let it in.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You appear to be ready to break out your happy dance on Saturday when luscious Venus opposes your electrifying ruling planet Uranus. If you’ve been bored lately, it’s time for excitement now as you connect with someone new or do something that you’ve never done before. Spontaneity, though, is a double-edged sword since acting impulsively can lead to a relationship breakthrough or breakdown.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon spends most of this weekend in your 3rd House of Communication, which is useful for talking to new people or addressing real issues in an ongoing relationship. You can find a calm, comfortable way of expressing yourself that is reassuring to others and helps you get the information you need without seeming pushy. Simplifying situations is an excellent way to resolve them more quickly.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Sept. 9th

We gain clarity today as interactive Mercury separates from yesterday’s opposition to confusing Neptune. Additionally, the winged messenger enters precision-oriented Virgo, narrowing our focus and giving us the ability to concentrate on specific tasks that require attention to detail. Mercury’s anxious semisquare to stern Saturn demands that we work harder to achieve perfection. Meanwhile, the innovative Aquarius Moon also encourages originality.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t really need to be acknowledged by others today as long as you feel that your life is moving along in the right direction. The Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Long-Term Goals takes your mind off your immediate responsibilities and focuses your thinking on a larger perspective. Don’t hide your dreams, even if they distract you from accomplishing practical tasks in the real world.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It may seem like the start of your workweek rather than the beginning of a weekend because the Moon is in your 10th House of Career, reminding you to concentrate on your professional development. Fortunately, the assistance of three planets in hardworking Virgo enables you to do your job well. But don’t get lazy; wasting the chance to accomplish something important today could bring regret tomorrow.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It feels as if your head is finally coming out of a fogbank as the clouds dissipate today, allowing you to see the distant horizon. This is a day of reconnecting with your life purpose since your wide-angle vision allows you to gain more perspective. Don’t be afraid to choose your new direction now, even if you don’t think that it’s a final decision. You are closer to the truth than you think.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s presence in emotionally distant Aquarius and your 8th House of Intimate Relationships confronts you with a peculiar problem. You want the security of deep and long-lasting love, yet your aversion to change can pull you back inside your protective shell. You don’t have to alter your approach; just stay aware of the temptation to withdraw from a discussion when emotions heat up and things get intense.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your 7th House of Companions shifts your focus from personal development and onto the people closest to you. You truly want to be present for a friend who needs you today, but you may resent someone who won’t assist you with the same level of commitment that you show for others. It’s useless to compare yourself to anyone else; don’t jump in to help unless it comes straight from your heart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have very specific obligations that you must fulfill and the best way to approach them now is one tiny step at a time. The community-minded Aquarius Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Details makes it absolutely necessary for you to think globally while acting locally. Even if your thoughts are on the big picture, it’s the little things you do that will have the greatest impact at this time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your emotions are more in line with the events in your life now that the Moon is in rational Aquarius, a fellow Air sign. Even if you don’t feel very enthusiastic, your innocent creativity can turn a boring job into something more enjoyable. But don’t get so distracted by having fun that you forget your obligations. Finish up your current tasks so you are ready to start a new project in the next few days.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be able to explain what you’re feeling today because there aren’t words to describe your current experiences. It’s as if the veil between worlds is thinner now and you are receiving impressions that are not based upon your present reality. Fortunately, there’s no need to share your spiritual realizations with anyone else; just bask in your rich inner experience and let it strengthen your conviction in the magical mysteries of the universe.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel very social today, even if most of your interactions occur in the workplace. Talkative Mercury, now in your 10th House of Career, tempts you to spend too much time at the water cooler rather than actually working. Fortunately, you are a consummate team player now and will excel at whatever you do because you naturally play well with others.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are thinking about all the possibilities ahead with Mercury in analytical Virgo traveling through your 9th House of Big Ideas. Although your best plans can turn into real moneymakers, it could take a while to see the concrete results you want now. Don’t try to force an issue today because everything will successfully unfold according to its true internal rhythm if you just show up consistently and give it your all.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s visit to independent Aquarius reminds you that you can’t always match up to other people’s expectations. You want to be a part of your community and a vital player on the team, but you also need to establish your own individuality. Don’t worry; you can still be a non-conformist, even while working toward goals that are mutually beneficial.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your feelings aren’t fully integrated with your current experiences, yet that doesn’t make your reactions any less intense. Others can easily misunderstand you today, motivating you to keep your inner world private. You can always clarify things later, but for now you don’t need to say anything about your dreams. If possible, take some time to process your emotions on your own.

Love Horoscopes for the Week of Sept. 5th

There’s magic in the air this weekend as the Moon enters mystical Pisces on Saturday afternoon and Astrology’s lovers, Venus and Mars, hook up later that night. Imagination can give you a key to the kingdom of romance, so turn down the tyranny of logic and reason and let the hope in your heart take you where your head is unable to go.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A subtle and indirect approach to fulfilling your needs will work better this weekend rather than charging straight ahead. Letting love come to you by relaxing your schedule and allowing your mind to wander is the easiest way to open to delight. Be soft and gentle with yourself and others; sensitivity could be worth its weight in gold, making you deliciously desirable to the right partner.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your alluring ruling planet Venus forms a harmonious alignment with passionate Mars this weekend. This cosmic couple makes it easier for you to enjoy yourself and appeal to others without having to put on a big show or step out of your comfort zone. Connecting with someone special when working for a cause or as part of a group can satisfy personal desires while also doing good for the community.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Sensitive people may take your playful comments to heart this weekend. A lunar opposition from thin-skinned Pisces to your verbal ruling planet Mercury in sharp-tongued Virgo on Saturday can kill a romantic mood. If you can’t say what’s on your mind with a high level of kindness, it’s probably wiser to keep those thoughts to yourself. Love without language is not only possible, it might be the best way to communicate now.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Getting out of town, or at least escaping from your usual routine, can do wonders for your attitude this weekend. The magical Pisces Moon lights up your adventurous 9th House on Saturday and Sunday, making unfamiliar faces and places especially appealing. Dipping into foreign cultures by experimenting with food, music and art or connecting with someone in an educational setting are good ways to light your fire.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The emotional Moon is passing through your key houses of partnership from Thursday to Sunday, marking an important period for meeting someone new or bringing clarity into your current relationship. Discussing sensitive issues without becoming overwhelmed with criticism can make the difference between constructive conversations that draw you closer or destructive ones that drive you apart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Look for someone sweet on Saturday when the tender Pisces Moon enters your 7th House of Partners. A favorable connection between loving Venus in your sign and passionate Mars in caring Cancer is another shift in your favor in matters of the heart. Enjoy the moments of pleasure you have without thinking about where they will take you. Delight is a gift that is easily shared.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Thursday and Friday find the quirky Aquarius Moon brightening your 5th House of Romance where unexpected connections and unusual forms of pleasure await you. A lunar transit through your 6th House of Service helps you combine work and play during the rest of the weekend. Sharing a labor of love with someone can inspire you both, especially when it’s for an artistic or compassionate cause.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon dances into imaginative Pisces and your 5th House of Romance on Saturday, which helps you relax and escape the demands and duties of your daily life. Playful flirtations and amorous fantasies lighten your spirit, making you especially appealing to others. Having no agenda other than opening your heart is a virtual guarantee of having a good time.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Hanging out at your place can be more exciting than you think when the mystical Pisces Moon visits your domestic 4th house on Saturday. You can create an enticing environment with music, wine and some imaginative decorating that welcomes love into your house. Even if you’re alone now, there is an inner tenderness that can make you feel a divine connection with your soul.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Plans can change quickly this weekend with the Moon traveling through quirky Aquarius and dreamy Pisces. Instead of locking into a fixed idea of what you’re going to do, relax and allow your intuition to take you wherever it wants to go. The less control you impose on your universe, the more likely it is to bring you what you want. Following your instincts and trusting chance could make you a relationship winner.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon enters your friendly but freedom-loving sign on Thursday where it will bring your feelings straight to the surface. This is excellent for getting attention, although your unpredictable behavior may attract some people and push others away. After the Moon slips into gentle Pisces on Saturday afternoon, adopt a softer approach — showing your vulnerable side could prove more alluring to others.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s shift into your deliciously sweet and sensitive sign on Saturday afternoon invites you to reveal your inner self to others. It can be hard for anyone to resist such emotional honesty when it’s expressed with wonder and inspired by faith in the power of love. Cast your worries aside and act as if you are the most desirable person in the world and other people are likely to see you in the same light.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for September 2 – 4

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Romantic Adventures Await

September 2 – 4

The Moon’s presence in the emotionally intense water sign Scorpio on Friday is often associated with mystery, mistrust and magnetic passion. There’s a tendency to look for hidden motivations that can undermine confidence in others during this lunar transit. But the mood is more buoyant and hopeful than usual due to the Sun’s harmonious 120-degree trine to exuberant Jupiter. This expansive aspect encourages us to adopt optimistic attitudes and a willingness to take risks. Intimate moments don’t need to wait until after dark since there is the sizzling Scorpio Moon’s favorable alignment with loving Venus in the afternoon. Turning attraction into action is favored by a cozy lunar hook-up with sexy Mars at night, warming even the coldest of hearts.

On late Saturday afternoon the Moon’s shift into enthusiastic Sagittarius invites an even more adventurous mood, one that’s perfect for exploring unfamiliar territory. Attraction to new places and faces fulfills the desires of restless souls who feel stifled when sticking to old habits and predictable routines. The spiciness of foreign food, music and movies are especially appealing with a lunar aspect to unconventional Uranus.

Sunday’s mood is somewhat different as pragmatic Saturn enters the picture in the early evening, bringing safety, security, and serious matters into focus. Putting our feet back on the ground and restoring a sense of order is more appealing than playing the field now. Mild comments, though, can feel like stinging criticisms on Sunday night as the Moon forms a stressful square with vulnerable Venus. Blunt talk should be avoided completely for now; use gentler and more indirect forms of self-expression, instead.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for August 31

We may experience two distinct moods this weekend, starting with the Moon in mysterious and passionate Scorpio and then shifting into easygoing and adventurous Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon. Issues that seem intensely serious can turn light and playful as we stop keeping score long enough to simply let go and have some fun.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be wrestling with a complex relationship issue on Thursday and Friday with the suspicious Scorpio Moon’s presence in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Jealousy or mistrust can push some sensitive buttons if there are insecurities lurking beneath the surface. But a lunar shift into freedom-loving Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon fits your current laissez-faire attitude, which is ideal for enjoying yourself today without worrying too much about tomorrow.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon moves from your 7th House of Connections to your 8th House of Intimacy on Saturday afternoon. Relationships are definitely in the spotlight, but learning how to let go of old fears and expectations is critical if you want to get close. Experimenting with a different set of rules and a more generous attitude reduces stress with a current partner and makes you more desirable to new ones.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Perhaps recently you have felt like you’re not being treated as an equal, often stuck with the dirty work and overly aware of your imperfections, your luck should change dramatically on Saturday afternoon. The mood-setting Moon fires into outgoing Sagittarius and your 7th House of Partners, opening doors to discovering fresh forms of pleasure with the one you love or to possibly connect with someone new.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The formidable Scorpio Moon arouses intense feelings in your 5th House of Romance from Thursday to Saturday afternoon. Desire is growing deeper, but so are the complications that can be stirred when emotions run the show. The Moon’s shift into optimistic Sagittarius changes the tune to a brighter and lighter melody, which can turn work or other chores into opportunities for play and laughter.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon dances into exuberant Sagittarius and your 5th House of Love and Creativity on Saturday afternoon. There’s no stopping you when it comes to expressing your feelings and pursuing the pleasure you seek. You may come on too strong for sensitive people, but if you’re in the mood to play, there’s no reason to restrain yourself. Open your heart to give love honestly, but add a dash of discretion for good measure.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Deep conversations can tie you in knots if you’re not forthcoming or are trusting unreliable people on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday afternoon the Moon enters fun-loving Sagittarius and your domestic 4th House, making your abode the perfect place to play. Generously opening your home and heart to celebrate life is a gift to others that will be returned to you with much love and affection.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The serious Scorpio Moon visits your 2nd House of Self-Worth on Thursday and Friday, challenging you to make the most of your resources. Instead of focusing on what’s missing, channel your efforts toward building yourself up. A chattier and more playful time is likely when the Moon soars into outgoing Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon, inviting both comical comments and shocking honesty.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Considering a makeover is reasonable late this week with the Moon traveling through your transformational sign from Thursday to Saturday afternoon. It’s better to take control of your own life than to try to control others. A lunar shift into insouciant Sagittarius could put you in a happy-go-lucky mood that encourages you to play more and measure less. Having a good time might be all the reward you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may uncharacteristically prefer some privacy and alone time later this week until the Moon enters your outgoing sign on Saturday afternoon. This lunar boost kicks up your enthusiasm and increases your willingness to take risks. Expressing yourself with candor is nothing new, but it might lead to embarrassing revelations if you’re not careful now. Applying a little tenderness will help soften the frankness of your remarks.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Groups can play a significant role in your social life when the Moon visits your team-oriented 11th House from Thursday to Saturday afternoon. You might feel bogged down by being part of the group process, yet your leadership instincts could put you at the head of the pack. A greater desire for peace and quiet arises with a lunar transit into your secretive 12th House on Saturday afternoon. Make your escape before anyone notices.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You can feel like a weight is being lifted off your shoulders with the Moon’s entry into spirited Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon. If you’ve been recently burdened by obligations or worries, it’s finally time to let your hair down, find some playful companions and kick up your heels. Taking relationships seriously is less important than finally relaxing with those who want nothing else but to have a good time.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Personal matters can take a philosophical turn when the intense Scorpio Moon enters your 9th House of Beliefs on Thursday. Addressing ethical issues may be required if you’re dealing with a sketchy person or questions about your own values. You may have to dig deeply to understand hidden motivations, but once you uncover them you’ll be better able to handle the powerful emotions that are driving your relationships.

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Romantic R&R

August 19 – 21

Turn off your phone and make this a sweet, slow, sensual weekend with plenty of time to laze around and linger with the one you love. If you’re currently single, a key to making a heart connection is to be as comfortable in your own skin as possible. The Moon is traveling through laid-back and low-key Taurus now, an earth sign that’s never in a hurry. Being at ease with yourself might seem boring, but this sign’s energy works best when we’re operating at a more relaxed pace and by accepting ourselves just as we are. Trying hard to impress others can sometimes be a good way to attract attention, but it’s not worth the effort this weekend.

A bit of self-indulgence isn’t a bad thing because it’s proof that you know how to make yourself happy. Others can’t help but admire your easygoing approach, which is likely to make you more desirable, but coming across as needy is a definite no-no. Simple events and experiences like enjoying a picnic in the park, listening to favorite music in the backyard or Sun worshipping at the beach are just a few ways to enrich ourselves with the bounty of the Bull.

Loving Venus’ powerful connection with imaginative Neptune on Sunday adds a bit of romantic magic and creativity to the weekend. This cosmic alignment offers the chance to take a temporary great escape, a getaway from reason and responsibility that allows two hearts to become one. It is tricky to tell fact from fiction as you may be transported by fantasies that taste delicious now, but which can fade in the bright light of logic. If pleasure is your goal, this dreamy setting could give you all the ingredients you need. But if you’re looking to build an enduring partnership, temper your indulgence with some common sense so you don’t wake up next week with any regrets.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 2

Today our heads are filled with thoughts and words that can feel stuck as messenger Mercury stands still in the sky to begin its 24-day retrograde cycle. Traditional astrological wisdom reminds us that communication can become stressed, deadlines are missed and plans unravel during this cycle. Furthermore, words may be misunderstood with Mars in restless Gemini scattering our energy while the Moon in discriminating Virgo narrows our thinking.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

All your senses are on red alert today and your acute perceptions register every single nuance in your immediate environment. Unfortunately, you could be so sensitive now that you start noticing things that aren’t actually there. Be careful with your judgments about what is real; you might be making up stories to justify what’s in your imagination without even realizing it.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your friends and associates seem to be out of step with the rest of the world while you are marching to the beat of a reliable drummer today. The Moon and Mercury are in fellow earth sign Virgo, helping you maintain a steady pace, even if fleet-footed Mercury screeches to a halt. Unfortunately, you can easily work yourself into an anxious state if you try to complete everything in front of you. Don’t rush; do what you do well and practice patience with yourself and others.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury turns retrograde today, emphasizing many forms of exchange, including verbal interactions, written correspondence and monetary transactions. You think that you are being very clever, but might discover that you only outsmarted yourself. Being mentally agile is a useful trait, but now it’s more useful to stick with the plan. Don’t let your curiosity tempt you to search for solutions to problems that haven’t even surfaced yet.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have already looked over your daily calendar enough times to realize that there’s no easy way to fit in everything today. You must face the facts and decide what needs to be eliminated. Unfortunately, talking about your current perspective may be a lot easier than actually narrowing it. Still, you will feel much better after you postpone a few things on your current schedule and kindly explain that it’s just not possible for you to do so much at this time.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be losing momentum at work and fears begin to surface about your long-term financial security. Although you’re ready to shore up your cash flow, it could take longer than you realize to put everything back in order. Still, you’re ready to take action because you don’t want money issues to become more problematic in the weeks ahead. Remember, there’s no need to spend what you don’t have just to keep up appearances. It’s more important to get back to basics so you can make it all work out.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are struggling as you consider two divergent approaches to life with the Moon in your practical sign while Mars is in noisy Gemini. You might try to limit the amount of data you need to handle now, but the information keeps coming. Thankfully, you can manage the situation by remaining open-minded while sorting through the details later. Don’t waste time trying to figure out what’s right; the answers will come to you organically on their own.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel as if others are pressuring you to complete a project today, but your current deadlines don’t make any sense at all. Unfortunately, you might have a hard time tying up loose ends. The more you work, the less finished it seems. Overreacting isn’t helpful; just do the absolute best you can and then quit stressing out. If something has to fall behind, let it go without resistance. You can do more harm than good if you hurry up and rush your work.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may need to make time for a serious relationship discussion with a close friend or partner. However, you might find yourself having a rerun of a recent conversation. You’re not interested in looking back now because you want to see forward movement. Be patient and remember that you’re in a holding pattern for the next few weeks. You’ll have time to express yourself later on down the road.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are growing concerned that your life is heading into a serious roadblock. Actually, you may be forced to change directions if you’re not willing to slow down considerably. There’s no need for an immediate decision today, but the sooner you begin discussing your fears with someone you trust, the faster you’ll be able to regain a clear perspective.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be very thankful that you have a plan now, even if it will take a while to put it all into motion. When Mercury turns retrograde today, you’re ready to dig in your heels and be serious about reaching your destination. You excel at calculating how to act to get what you want, especially if long-range goals are involved. Nevertheless, gaining control of your day will actually help you gain more control of your life.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel like you have a bit of deep magic at your disposal today, yet it’s not yours to use for personal gain. But answers are more likely to come to you through dreams now, instead of rational logic, so don’t seek solutions through the usual channels. Although your words might backfire on you, using images and employing symbolic gestures can strongly impact the outcome of your work.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel like a Fish out of water with the Moon in dry Virgo and Mercury turning retrograde in your 7th House of Others. You long for deeper personal connections in your life, but your friends seem to be more emotionally reserved than you prefer. Fortunately, your imagination may hold the keys to the kingdom, but it’s easy to get confused by everything you don’t yet understand. Don’t push too hard for answers; be content with what you know for now and let the rest come in its own time.

General Weekly Love Horoscope for the Week of Aug. 1st

Messages and moods may be mixed in relationships this week as passionate Mars turns cautious when entering protective Cancer on Wednesday. This energetic change is in stark contrast with vivacious Venus’ presence in outgoing Leo, which encourages taking romantic risks. Make sure your signals are clear so that others know when you want to play hard and when you want to play it safe.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your passionate ruling planet Mars’ shift into sensitive Cancer softens your pursuit of romance this week. Instead of being the hard-charging, spontaneous type, you’re more likely to approach people with caution. You could be feeling a bit insecure, but this kind of vulnerability reduces your air of independence, allows you to receive support and makes you more accessible to others.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your emotional temperature is on the rise this weekend with the Moon’s presence in mysterious Scorpio and your 7th House of Relationships on Friday and Saturday. The desire to connect in very deep ways is powerful, but so is your concern about being manipulated or controlled. A high level of trust needs to be established before you can comfortably open your heart and let others in.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your personal life may be complicated by work and other responsibilities for most of the weekend. However, handing these obligations with total commitment can make you more attractive in a non-social setting. A lunar shift into risk-taking Sagittarius and your 7th House of Partners on Sunday supplies a spirit of adventure and openness, stretching your boundaries in playful ways.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Mars, the planet of action and aggression, enters your tender sign on Wednesday, which can spur you to be more active in pursuing your personal goals. If you’re feeling edgy, don’t complain, blame or stress out. Channel your excess energy into physical activity and doubts will quickly fade away. This confidence boost will make it easier to take the initiative with your present partner or make a move toward someone new.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Alluring Venus in your sign warms you with a newfound appreciation of yourself. But the enthusiasm that this inspires may not be expressed as boldly as you might expect. Aggressive Mars is hiding in your private 12th house, making it uncomfortable to come on strong or expose your feelings openly. Ironically, a more indirect approach could get you exactly who and what you want.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Sharing intimate secrets and speaking in measured tones could be especially sexy this weekend. The mood-setting Moon is visiting confidential Scorpio and your 3rd House of Communication, which favors subtle ways of talking that will draw others closer to you. Discretion is a must as telling tales out of turn will undermine trust and could damage a relationship.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Strategy is a key to romantic success this weekend with the Moon’s presence in subtle Scorpio on Friday and Saturday. Being just a little bit mysterious and less available can make you more captivating. Besides, you’re allowed to withhold your thoughts and affections while you assess others to determine whether they are worthy of your attention. Hold back a bit and you might receive more in return.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s presence in your emotionally intense sign on Friday and Saturday can make this a personally powerful weekend. You’re not into playing games or taking halfway measures, you need the company of a serious contender. A complex person willing to dive into the depths of his or her feelings is much more desirable than an easygoing individual who keeps everything on the surface.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your time to shine this weekend might not come until Sunday. Sure, you can have fun before then, but the Moon’s visit to your ultra-private 12th house on Friday and Saturday could keep you out of the spotlight. Use that time to get away from it all, either alone or with someone in whom you have total confidence. Rest, relax and nourish your soul instead of pushing yourself socially. You will be glad you did once the Moon moves into your sign on Sunday morning and you are the life of the party once again.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Friends and organizations bring both social opportunities and responsibilities this weekend. One pal could introduce you to someone who could become the love of your life, while another one might drain you with unceasing demands. Finding the right balance between responding to others and taking care of yourself requires a deeper understanding of how to incorporate your desires and your obligations into your life.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Personal matters could get a little sticky this week as assertive Mars splashes into sensitive Cancer on Wednesday and the Moon swims into complex Scorpio on Friday and Saturday.

Relaxing your rational perspective and accepting the uncertainty and mystery of emotions will make you more tolerant and loveable now. Follow your heart for a while and see what happens.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Passionate Mars slips into cuddly Cancer and your 5th House of Romance on Wednesday, increasing your chances of experiencing pleasure and love. The Moon in sister Water sign Scorpio colors the weekend with the emotional and spiritual realms where you feel so much at home. Trusting your instincts more than reason isn’t always a great idea, but your psychic powers should be right on target now.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Conversations may start out on a casual note but can quickly become heated this weekend. The warmth is great when you’re being playful and loving, but can kill the romantic mood if you start battling over petty details. Don’t let small differences get in the way of a sweet connection. Demonstrating a good sense of humor is the key that can resolve conflict and turn a painful moment into a pleasurable one.

In the northern latitudes we feel the radiant heat warm our hearts, prompting us to let our love lights shine. Meanwhile, the Moon enters earthy Taurus at 12:57 am EDT, reminding us to stay in touch with our senses. However, a sobering Mercury-Saturn aspect and a fantasy-prone Sun-Neptune alignment alert us to the contradictions we may face.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although it’s been difficult to reestablish your confidence lately, things are now beginning to improve. Naturally, a shift in your attitude won’t occur overnight, but you could feel more positive day by day. Just let the current events unfold while affirming that better times are on the way. Believe it or not, the Sun’s entry into your 5th House of Creativity today may be enough to chase away the clouds.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s return to your sign can put you in touch with your feelings while the Sun’s entry into your 4th House of Home and Family turns on the streetlights for your walk down Memory Lane. But there’s no use in holding on to childhood perspectives anymore, especially if they reinforce your concerns about scarcity. Remember that the universe is overflowing with unlimited possibilities, so show up with a smile and do what you can to transform your fears into love.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might overcompensate today and show only your very best side. But your positive attitude could come across as false if you sound blindly optimistic. It’s of no value to hide the truth now, even if it’s more than you think others can take. Don’t get bent out of shape over the wrong things; stick to the facts and let others take responsibility for their reactions.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might feel relieved as the bright Sun leaves your sign, taking the spotlight off you and allowing you to work quietly behind the scenes. But you don’t want too much isolation because the Moon slips into your 11th House of Social Networking today. You wish you could just make up your mind and follow your agenda, but you’re being pulled in two totally different directions. Ultimately, you will be happiest if you go with the flow now instead of trying to hang on to the illusion of control.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are naturally resistant to change and may not want to engage with what’s coming around the next corner.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You aren’t happy if someone is keeping information from you today, but thankfully you can handle the situation skillfully because the willful Sun and trickster Mercury are traveling through your 12th House of Secrets.

There’s no need to panic and take a risk, but creating a sound plan that is followed by decisive action can be an unbeatable combination.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s tricky if someone assumes that you will always drop your personal priorities when asked. You wouldn’t mind offering your help, but you don’t appreciate the pressure of being told what to do. There’s no need to say yes and jump right in. Others will get by without you immediately coming to the rescue today. Taking time to consider all your options before responding may be enough of a cue to convey that you don’t want anyone to take advantage of your generosity.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Perhaps you are dreaming about the future in order to avoid dealing with the promises you made. Your intentions may have been sincere, but your time is running short now and you don’t know how you’re going to fulfill your obligations. Keep in mind that even the smallest molehills seem like mountains today. Don’t make any sudden changes to your overall strategy yet; wait a few days to see how the new landscape takes shape.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Having faith in yourself is crucial, but too much confidence inflates your ego. Even the most surefooted of you goats can slip if you’re moving too fast, and an overabundance of bravado today might be enough to make you careless. Don’t give reality a chance to teach you a lesson in humility. You’ll reach your ambitious goal if you focus on each step along the way.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Everyone is playing a part in your movie now that the dramatic Leo Sun is in your 7th House of Others. Unfortunately, you may be growing weary of someone’s affected behavior.

It will be a lot less stressful if you accept the fact that others are probably giving all that they can. Be appreciative of what you have today, instead of wishing for more.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You would like to have more free time at your disposal today, but you may have already overcommitted yourself in the chore department. Running errands and helping others could prevent you from following your fantasies. But don’t complain about your obligations; just doggedly finish what you can. Thankfully, if you apply yourself diligently during the day, you may have time for more pleasurable activities in the evening.
