Message for September 2015

It is an inherent human tendency to try to fill life up with stuff: things to do, places to go, people to see, accomplishments to achieve. There is a sense of discomfort when it comes to consciously stepping into the silent moments as it is within the silence where truth resides. Truth isn’t about ‘answers’, it’s about looking into the mirror of one’s soul and actually genuinely seeing the reflection that looks back without trying to push it away or squash it with yet more stuff. It’s a willingness to stand in the silence, bare and without the distraction of stuff in order to see our true essence.

‘The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear’ Rumi

It’s as though the silence is too a powerful force for some people to face. Yet silence is the true healer in life, it can be found in the spaces in life: between the in and the out breath and in every nook and cranny. Silence is everywhere. Yet, silence is not empty: quite the opposite. Silence is full of life, vibrancy and passion. It is the force of creation and the inspiration of life. In today’s over-stimulated world, distraction can be found everywhere. There is a kind of white noise created by technology and a more intense buzz created by the millions of people lost in their virtual worlds.

Silence isn’t a void, silence is an inner stillness that allows us to hear and to see the true riches all around us. Silence can take us deep within and reconnect us to our emotional and spiritual depths.Without knowing silence, how can we truly appreciate everything else? The silence gives us context, just like day and night, dark and light, joy and pain. Yet Seeing things in such a black-and-white way takes away the context, textures and flavours of life. The silence isn’t a separate force, it is inherent within everyone and everything. Just as the air carries oxygen to every one of our billions of cells, the silence brings life to life.

Human beings are inherently strange and wonderful creations; a complex and awe-inspiring bundle of cells, thoughts and energy, held together by skin and bone. Despite the magnificence of life, the universe and of all the magic that occurs around us in any one given moment, we so often lose sight of our humanity, empathy and compassion, focusing on everything that’s wrong in our lives or doing our best not to notice.

On one hand we create musical masterpieces and discover cures for disease, on the other we decimate the oceans with rubbish and consistently find new ways to hurt each other. A puzzling and bewildering species, seeming growing ever more disconnected and discordant. Perhaps pushing away that silence in todays world of distraction has created a barrier that we have yet to fully comprehend? Whilst there are many of us who actively choose to leap into the silence, it seems important that we allow the silence to grow in order to reach out into the hearts and souls of everyone. It’s time to consciously allow the silence more room to breathe, thrive and flourish…

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

♈

The winds of change look set to gather momentum throughout September as life begins to open up in some unexpected and inspirational ways. There’s a sense that you have been on the brink of a new chapter of your life for quite some time but you have felt a little stuck between where you were and where you wanted to be. As a result, you have felt a growing sense of frustration as, despite your best efforts to push ahead, you have felt held back, as though you were tied to a piece of elastic, constantly coming back to the same place over and over again. Yet, when you look at the bigger picture of your life you will realise that your efforts haven’t been in vain as you have learned a great deal from your ‘period of elasticity’ (well, if you can think of a better phrase, then go for it), and you are now in a position to use some of that wisdom when it comes to riding those winds of change towards pastures new.

You are a free spirit at heart and although you take pride in working hard and trying to be the best ‘you’ you can be, there is a risk that such a strategy can keep you locked on being the person you feel you ought to be rather than the person you truly are. Similarly, this can also keep you focused on the frustration in connection to not being where you want to be in life. It’s important to instead start accepting where you are now and to realise that life is a journey: you will always be moving from where you were to where you want to be next…

Taurus

♉

Life frequently brings you to the threshold of change as it’s inevitable and inescapable. You often find yourself on the brink of something new and it can sometimes feel as though you are forever in a cycle of endings and beginning. As a result, you can feel overwhelmed at times as the frustration kicks in at the seeming intangibility of life and the world as you know it. Although you intuitively know that life is a cycle of change as you are forever changing, evolving and shifting, you want nothing more than to grab a piece of stable ground and set up home for a while in order to process and digest your life and your path. You want to rest in the moment and keep hold of it for long enough to breathe into it fully. Yet, as soon as you grab the moment, it passes and transforms into the next moment.

There is a chance you could drive yourself nuts trying to stand still in the flowing river of life, the effort and energy required to hold yourself upright as the currents push and pull you is huge, and yet, here you are, trying to stand your ground and get that bit of breathing space you long for. It seems a shift in perspective is needed now in order for you to stop feeling so frustrated at being a moving part in the ever-moving, ever-changing universe. Intuitively you want to flow, so why don’t you? Trying to make sense of life is a part of being human, but you can’t put life on hold in the process, you have to live it at the same time…

Gemini

♊

September looks set to be a month of revelation and reflection as you gaze deeply into the mirror or your life and allow it to gaze deeply into you. You are an intuitive and empathic soul, and you spend a great deal of time trying to make sense of ‘what is’ and ‘why it is the way it is’; you want to know the meaning of life and the meaning of the meaning of life. Although you know there are many questions in life without answers, you still seem keen to keep asking as you feel sure that, if you ask for long enough, the answers will surely come! There is absolutely nothing wrong in asking questions, after all, that’s how we learn, blossom and thrive, but it’s important to understand the motivations behind this as there are times when seeking answers to questions that don’t have answers is more of a distraction or avoidance technique than a quest to dig deeper and discover a new philosophy in life.

At the end of the day, only you know what drives you forward, but it seems important for you to understand yourself more in order to prepare yourself for a period of soul-searching and self-discovery. There are moments in life where you feel suspended in mid-air as you bridge the gap between one chapter and another; where you are not quite in the new chapter yet, but you can’t help but look ahead as it feels exciting and liberating. You are in one such moment at the current time and it’s important not to exhaust yourself with intense question asking and instead rest in the moment, step into the silence and allow the silence to step back into you…

Cancer

♋

Almost everyone has a bucket list of one kind or another in life, some even have bucket lists of bucket lists as they have so many things they want to do, be and achieve before they pop their clogs. Some have perfectly organised lists, colour co-ordinated and in alphabetical order whereas others just have a few ideas jotted on a piece of scrap paper tucked away inside their brains. Life is unquestionably short and with the inevitable uncertainty of exactly how much time we may or may not have hanging over us, it’s important to make the most of now and live in the moment. Intuitively you know this, but creating those lists and getting them right can be so consuming and absorbing, and you can sometimes lose sight of the need to experience the experiences you want to experience and instead spend your time listing and organising them.

Of course, thinking about your dreams and goals is important as these feed your enthusiasm for life and give you the incentive to step beyond the comfort zone, but the real joy comes from actually stepping beyond your comfort zone and living your dream. You are a wise, intuitive, creative and passionate soul, and September looks set to be a month where you begin to see yourself and your life from a new perspective as you contemplate what’s really important to you and what you really want from life. It’s time to let go of trying to do more, be more or achieve more in order to make others happy and it’s time to stop those ought’s from defining the path of your life. You are your own person, and the time has come for you to be you, only you and nothing but you…

Leo

♌

The theme of embracing the extraordinary continues in earnest throughout September as the bigger picture of your life starts to expand giving you a more panoramic perspective on your life and path ahead. For a long time now you have tried to be the person you felt you needed to be: the one that holds everything together, the one who thinks nothing of sacrificing your own needs for the sake of others. Such a strategy has turned you into the essential cog in the wheel of life; the one no one can do without. However, the cost of this has been a slow descent away from your true essence into a world of ‘ought’s’ and ‘should’s’ where you have lost sight of your fiery passion and creativity. As a result, the lion within you is more of a kitten these days.

Yet, there is much to be proud of here as you have inspired others to fly high and the time has now come for you to reconnect to the fire within your heart and soul in order to stretch out your own wings and gently flap them up and down as you embark on a new chapter in life. Embracing the extraordinary may sound very grandiose but, is essence, it is a time for you to turn to face your true self and to be the ‘you’ you know yourself to be. You are an extraordinary soul and the time has come to realise this. There is no ego gratification here, just a willingness to let your soul dance freely in the fires of life once again as you let your inner lion back out into the sunlight. You only have to look at that glistening mane to realise there is nothing ordinary about you…

Virgo

♍

Untangling the knots looks set to be a powerful theme for you throughout September as you begin a process of inner reflection and review. You have spent a long time trying to be the best you can be, working hard to achieve your goals and doing your best to stride ever-closer to your dreams. There is a sense that you have become so focused on where you are heading, you have forgotten to take note of where you are now. You are not the same person you were yesterday let alone last year or a decade ago; things change, and more importantly, you change. As a result, although you have been diligent to keep moving forward in life, you haven’t spent much time reviewing your path or yourself and, perhaps the goals you still have in your sights are not quite the right ‘fit’ for you anymore? There is no shame in this, after all, you are a constantly evolving human being, and, as you continue to flourish and grow, your priorities and needs change.

This isn’t to say all your hard work has been for nothing, as it hasn’t, you just need to use that formidable brain of yours to step back a little and regain some perspective in order to gather together the many facets of yourself and untangle any knots you may discover before moving forward once again. Life is essentially what you make of it, so why not take some time to contemplate what you truly want in order to re-focus your energy in new ways? This feels like a new start but it also feels like an opportunity for you to take a big deep breath and fully re-engage with yourself and your life once again…

Libra

♎

Human beings are an eclectic and perplexing bunch; no two are alike and, looking a little deeper, most are a bewildering blend of idiosyncrasies and quirks. Whilst this makes for an interesting and colourful world, it also makes the complexities of being human even more complicated as it can be so hard to make sense of life and to understand why things are the way they are. Although you know all of this, this wisdom doesn’t stop you from expending a great deal of time and energy looking for clarity and coherence where there isn’t any. As a result, there are times when you feel as though you are banging your head against a metaphorical brick wall as, despite knowing you’re doing it, you carry on in a determined and valiant effort to find clarity in order to move forward in life and, until that elusive clarity surfaces, you feel frozen in uncertainty and on pause, unable to move forward.

Some may call this ‘stuck in a rut’ but it’s significantly more complicated than this as for you, the ‘rut’ is more of an epic battle between you and your brain; the ‘rut’ is a gaping chasm created by your motivation and need for clarity and certainty even though intuitively you know you can’t have it. The inevitable frustration of realising you are not a super-human with the ability to guarantee the future and to know exactly why things are the way they are can hold you back and prevent you from living in the current moment. The main reason for this is because your focus in on where you want to be rather than where you are now. September looks set to be a month to come back to the present and to ‘be here now’…

Scorpio

♏

September looks set to be a month for exploring your true essence or sense of self as you begin to contemplate the bigger picture of your life. Intuitively you know yourself to be an intriguing, slightly mysterious, incredibly creative and extremely contradictory soul. The contradictions are not a criticism, more a reflection of your open and honest approach to life: being an open book. Well, although you may present yourself as an open book, on closer examination by someone that ‘knows’, all of those chapters you’ve squirrelled away over the years (those mysterious facets that make you, you) become far more obvious. Herein lies the contradiction: you can’t be an open and a closed book at the same time!

Having said this, there’s no reason for you to suddenly thrust yourself into the spotlight of life and lay yourself bare, but it does seem important for you to acknowledge your contradictions in order to make peace with them. Most of what lies hidden is connected to your creativity as you tend to box it away to make for an easier life, yet keeping your formidable creative power hidden stifles your life-force and stops you from being you. Of course, there is always a choice and you may choose to keep things exactly as they are, but only you can decide if you want to continue to ignore your soul calling you to find a new sense of balance. Being contradictory, mysterious and intriguing is a blessing, so why not embrace your true nature? The only person suffering as a result of your slightly closed-open book approach to life is you, so why not accept your quirks and contradictions, love them and be the best ‘you’ you know yourself to be?

Sagittarius

♐

Some prefer the purr of a sports car, others prefer the rattle of a battered old runabout. There are others who prefer the freedom of a motorbike and others who opt for the real horsepower of horses. Of course, there are those who choose the bus or train, but there are also those who prefer to sit on the sofa of life and contemplate which mode of transport they’d use given the opportunity. At heart, you have a little of all of these within you and there are times when you can oscillate between them as you try to navigate your way through life. Intuitively you know yourself to be a ‘wind through your hair’ kind of soul, heading out on the open road of life, ‘boldly going where no-one has gone before’. Yet, despite this adventure-seeking side of your nature, there are times when sitting on the sofa of life, eating popcorn and watching something mundane on the TV feels so attractive!

Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with having ‘sofa days’ you give yourself such a hard time for ‘taking time off’ from the real business of getting on with your life; you feel a constant inner pressure to push on, to do more, be more and achieve more. Yet, unless you take time out, isn’t there a chance you’ll forget what you’re aiming for? Sometimes you need some crappy TV or a walk in the park to take you out of yourself for a bit, sometimes ‘doing nothing’ is the most constructive thing to do as it resets your inner balance and helps you to regain your perspective on life. Stop giving yourself such a hard time, take a deep breath and let life breathe back into you…

Capricorn

♑

September looks set to be a month for some self-exploration as you begin to contemplate the area around the path you have been walking in life. This may, at first, seem slightly odd, after all, why would you need to explore the area around the path if you are already walking the path and know where you are heading? Yet, in many ways, it makes perfect sense, as to keep your focus narrowed onto the immediate area around your feet, you are missing out on seeing the wider perspective of your life. You may not feel drawn to see a wider perspective, but there is a sense that you need to at least pause to consider your options as it’s important to be sure of the reasons why you are not keen. Could it be you are so happy with things exactly as they are or have you just become stuck in a familiar routine and it’s easier to stick with it rather than risk upsetting the balance?

Obviously, only you know the answer to this question but if you are blissfully happy with everything exactly as it is, then you need read no further. However, if, as is more likely, things are feeling even just a little bit our of kilter in your life, then what have you got to lose by stepping back slightly to take a wider view on yourself, your life and your path? Whilst it may not be easy to create change as you have a plethora of responsibilities in life, use of the ‘i’ word is not in your vocabulary. Impossible? You? You are the master of ingenuity and creative thinking, therefore creating change is perhaps not as impossible as you’d like to think…

Aquarius

♒

Your quest for balance continues in earnest throughout September as you begin to explore new ways to live the best life you can possibly live. Although there is a sense you are a little jaded with the constant busy-ness of life, that spark of creativity within you continues to burn brightly, inspiring you to keep hold of your unique sense of self as well as re-igniting your passion and your dreams. It can be hard at times to manage the everyday pedestrian aspects of life when you are also honing, shaping and manifesting your creative spark at the same time, but if anyone can do this, it’s you. Living the best life possible takes courage, ingenuity and self-belief; it also takes a willingness to step fully into the present moment in order to be here now.

Whilst you are more than aware of the importance of the here and now, it can sometimes be tempting for you to lose yourself in your dreams and in your vision of what living the best life would be like, thus shifting your focus forward into what may, or may not, lie ahead. Of course, this is understandable, as it’s important for you to have a sense of purpose, but there is a risk that you could lose touch with where you are now. As a result, the focus falls onto the gap between here and there rather than on making the most of now. Balance comes from a willingness to let your dreams burn brightly but without allowing them to lift you away from the present moment. Living the best life possible is not a future state of being; it’s where you are right now…

Pisces

♓

September looks set to be a month of inspired and creative vision for you as your life looks set to open up in some new and exciting ways. Although you are quite a fluid and free-moving soul, there is a sense that you also quite like the feeling of knowing where you’re heading in life. So, more like the paddle on a steam boat than a piece of driftwood gently floating along with the ebb and flow; still in water, but one has considerably more ‘oomph’ than the other! Of course, even with a paddle steamer, there is a chance that the currents, tides and storms of life could send you off course, but, on the whole, as long as you steer, you will keep moving forward. As long as you steer? Oops, maybe that’s the problem? You’ve been so busy enjoying the journey and being distracted by the distractions of life that you’ve let go of the helm and let the boat steer itself.

Whilst this could be a wise and philosophical approach to living your life, intuitively you know you are nothing like that whimsical piece of driftwood, you do not ‘drift’ nor do you ‘ebb and flow’; you need to have a sense of direction in order to feel balanced and centred. Even though there are days when you cannot help but get caught up in the currents, it’s important not to allow these to consume and distract you from the business of living your life as this can leave you feeling trapped on one of life’s sandbanks. It seems the more you ‘own’ your true determined essence, the more you will realise that not only do you have the helm, but you have a map, a compass and an intuition that will take you wherever you need to go…

Moon in Capricorn

Aug 24, 2015 to Aug 26, 2015

Maybe you noticed. Things have gotten more serious with the Moon in Capricorn. No-nonsense suits around the office. Discussions about rules, disciplines, hard work and respect. Virtues that make employees squirm and bosses feel lonely. Structure-everybody hates it until something unruly occurs. Physics says a vast and wild emptiness dances between the molecules in a chair. But we don’t fall in due to the structuring thought in wood, respecting our need for a solid place to sit. That’s Capricorn in your life, structures that support. Its energy inspires your achievements and fears (funny how both can be motivating). Face a fear today. Be the authority in something. Devise a business plan. Recognize that diligence is nothing more than keeping what you want in mind. Strategize with a wise old one. And do something especially nice this Moontime for your skin, bones or knees.

Get a Jump on Tomorrow……

Your Horoscopes for Thursday, July 15th

Aries

Due to last night’s New Moon, home and family matters are in high focus, and new energy is with you to make improvements to these areas of your life, dear Aries. You might immerse yourself in family projects or home improvement activities. Family is more inclusive or you are more interested in setting things right. Later today, you could have a vague feeling that something is not right. Your perceptions may not be as reliable as they usually are, and reading too much into a situation may even get you into trouble. Avoid, as much as possible, spiraling thoughts and wrestling with regrets or recent decisions. You can feel out of touch. Even so, the Moon begins supporting your sign later morning, and this helps you to feel more alert, capable, and confident.

Taurus

There are likely to be busy days ahead of you with a New Moon in your solar third house, dear Taurus. New energy is with you for connecting, communicating, and learning. Ideas can fill your head, but so can too much information. Some of your ideas will take and others may not, but don’t worry about the difference between the two just yet. There’s no rush. Plan to make warm and interesting new connections with people, be open to the idea that you need more intellectual stimulation in your life, and look for ways you can improve your approachability. However, watch for taking on so many things that you feel overwhelmed. Later today, a mildly difficult aspect between the Sun and Neptune can point to a feeling that others are draining you of energy or confidence, which can be the result of their negativity or simply your expectations of them.

Gemini

A New Moon in your second house occurred last night, dear Gemini, and you are receiving wonderful energy for improving your finances and tending to your personal possessions. The impulse to buy something can be sudden and should probably be tamed just for now, until you get a plan in place. Ideas, and especially money-making ones, come to you with force and passion. Receive and enjoy them, and sort them out patiently as you go along. This can be the start of something special. Even so, later today, you may need to get over a temporary hump in the form of lack of confidence, a mental disconnect, or illusions related to money and work. Enjoy your imagination, but go slowly.

Cancer

The yearly New Moon in your sign has just occurred, dear Cancer, pointing to a time for personal new beginnings. What you’d like to change, improve, or initiate is in your hands. You’re suddenly more noticeable and “out there”, and it’s a good time to ride this energy. It’s also a time for personal re-invention. You are always in charge of your destiny, but times like now, you really feel it. Confidence comes across well; excessive preoccupation with yourself doesn’t! People believe in you, and this only serves to motivate you further to present the best version of yourself. However, later today, watch for some self-deception, as you may not be seeing yourself and others very clearly. You mean different things to different people and this can confuse true understanding of yourself, or you may be giving off mixed signals. Treat any hesitance you might feel now as a chance to slow down and make adjustments.

Leo

Last night’s New Moon occurred in your soul sector, dear Leo, launching a cycle in which you are strongly inclined to take charge of personal and private matters that need your attention, or give more time to a person in need or an important cause. Buried or neglected issues can demand your attention, but for some of you, you may need to take on a supportive role in which you sacrifice some of your personal plans and goals, at least temporarily, in order to take care of or help out other people. You might take the lead on such a matter, or if you are the one who needs extra rest, then you’ll push for that. If you’ve been neglecting your psychic, spiritual, and emotional needs, then this is a time that forces you to acknowledge and tend to them. Later today, a minor difficult aspect involving the Sun (your ruler) in this same sector can leave you yearning for more and especially sensitive psychically. Try not to over-think things. Stick to the simple now.

Virgo

Pay special attention to who you meet and ideas that come to you around now, dear Virgo. The New Moon that occurred last night energized your sector of friendships, networking, community involvement, new ideas, technology, and aspirations. What’s happening around the time of this lunation helps pave the way for personal changes and new beginnings. There can be new friends or associations with groups and people who share some similar interests or a common goal, or new beginnings with existing connections. A New Moon is about taking the lead and taking charge. Open yourself to the need for people in your life who offer you new perspectives, a change of pace, and some exciting variety to your daily life. Tonight, however, there can be some tendency to nurse an idealized image of someone or a plan. There can be a strong desire to believe in someone, but at the same time, fear that you’ll discover reasons not to. Try to avoid over-thinking.

Libra

Last night, a New Moon occurred in your profession and reputation sector, dear Libra. Even if you’re happy in your position as it stands, there are always some tweaks that can be made to improve your professional and public life. New projects and goals, and possibly even a new area of focus on the job, may emerge in the coming days and weeks. Enter these with healthy confidence, not over-confidence. Take the time to plan, and act rather than react. You have more impact on others than usual, so use this time in the spotlight well. Later today, however, when it comes to practical matters, you just aren’t seeing things realistically. In fact, you can swing from pie in the sky to negative thinking, making it a less than ideal time for making big purchases and business decisions. Daydream rather than make solid plans just for now.

Scorpio

Your spirit to explore beyond the ordinary experiences in your life is powerful now and in the coming weeks, dear Scorpio. A New Moon occurred in your expansion sector last night, and this gives you extra energy and resolve to seek out new experiences on mental, physical, and spiritual planes. This can be a period for beginning new activities or projects that feed your thirst for mind-expanding experiences. This is a time of increased bravery and spontaneity. Later today, you may be dealing with mixed messages and minor irritations or delays. The tendency to act in conditioned rather than mindful ways is strong right now, and you would do well to identify these patterns so that you can step around them. Otherwise, it’s a decent day for daydreaming and fantasizing. Take things easy, and slowly right now.

Sagittarius

Last night’s New Moon energized your sector of intimacy and sharing – a sector of your chart that’s making a lot of headlines these days! Now and in the coming weeks, dear Sagittarius, there can be a feeling of revitalization on a deep, inner level. This can be experienced in your relationship with yourself and/or in a partnership. Inhibitions can drop and there is more acceptance of the deeper side of your personality. Alternatively, you might have had enough of a bad habit, addiction, or superstition, and you are suddenly motivated to end it. It’s a time for getting rid of burdens, or sharing their weight with trusted others. You might decide to rid yourself of clutter or debt. You may be saying goodbye to a bad attitude or habit, or getting closer to someone who makes you feel better about yourself. Later today, there is a tendency for people to be indirect, which can be especially annoying to Sagittarians! It’s not the best time for healthy relating patterns, but consider that you might need some personal space.

Capricorn

Last night’s New Moon brings you good energy for starting a new partnership or committing to a new way of enhancing a current relationship, dear Capricorn. Someone in your life could need more support or attention and you may need to put your own plans on hold. It’s time to strengthen your relationships, negotiate, compromise, and strike up deals. It can be a strong period for communications in one-on-one setups. Take in now, and take action when it feels right. If you need to take charge of a relationship issue, you’ll feel the energy to do so. Later today, situations and people may leave you feeling drained or confused. There is a vacillating energy tonight that is best handled by imagining or enjoying entertainment and art than for serious thinking.

Aquarius

You can be tempted and motivated to totally rework your daily routines now with the New Moon having just occurred in your solar sixth house last night, dear Aquarius. A new health program or fitness routine could be implemented now, or you could be doing a top to bottom reorganization of your workspace or home. Whatever gets you more organized and feeling in charge of your daily life is favored. A new project, work task, or even line of work can be on the table. This is an important time for clearing clutter, both physical and mental. Take advantage, but take it easy. Tonight, dreamy or creative activities can be nice detours from pressures.

Pisces

You’re receiving a nice boost of energy that jumpstarts a cycle in which taking charge of your life is appropriate, dear Pisces, particularly when it comes to romance, children, creativity, and entertainment. This is a time for making improvements to your life that help restore balance. You are in need of quality leisure time and channels for expressing yourself creatively. Ideas for enjoying life’s more playful moments can come to you in a rush, or opportunities can suddenly appear, ready to grab. Even if your life seems crammed with things to do, you need to learn to make the most of the time you do have for enjoying yourself. Later today, you may be giving off mixed signals, but who can really blame you? It’s hard to project confidence and clarity if you’re not feeling these things inside. If you feel out of the loop, which is quite possible tonight and early tomorrow, hold off. Be easy on yourself.

Get a Jump On Tomorrow,

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 30th

Aries

There can be a building desire to improve these days, dear Aries, although there can be a hurdle today that likely revolves around the past or your own guilty feelings about enjoying yourself and moving forward in your love life. Do what you can to build your faith in your creativity and make peace with the past. This will free you up to take better advantage of opportunities this week, as you are looking especially good and might even be the object of desire. Charm comes naturally. Good energy is with you for expanding your personal horizons through creative endeavors. Love can be magical and your powers of attraction are strong. It’s a good time for friendships and dating, personal attraction, and your social life in general. There may be good news on a financial level for some of you, and a sense of abundance for others.

Taurus

There can be some frustrations with friends and family if they are not mixing well in some way, dear Taurus, or you could be feeling conflicted about plans that haven’t come together well. Adjustments and sacrifices are in order, but dealing with these now can help to free you up for real opportunities revolving around your home, family, and personal life later today and tomorrow. Nice opportunities can arise to bond with those closest to you. This can also be a time for buying a special item for the home, or when money comes through. Taking a trip down memory lane can be satisfying now. There is mostly good humor today, although you can be a little prone to impracticality and exaggeration. This is a good time to expand contact, strengthen ties, and find peace with the past. Your powers of attraction skyrocket.

Gemini

If you’ve been taking on too many new interests, you’ll feel the need to tone things down, dear Gemini. There can be information overload, or new information comes up that challenges a previous belief or your own optimistic outlook. Find ways to straighten things out now, and to alleviate stress, as a very pleasant aspect occurring later today and into tomorrow can bring opportunities. Let go of attitudes and projects that no longer serve you or that are less important so that you can make room for the new. Watch for opportunities in the form of new interests, connections, and learning. For some, there could be a creative project, speaking engagement, a publishing of your work, or even a romantic connection made. Success tends to come through word of mouth, others, or clever ideas. People are appreciating your ideas and the power of your words is strong. Your good cheer and optimism can help strengthen close relationships.

Cancer

Something happening today, or simply a feeling, can lead you to question a belief, goal, project, or even a person, dear Cancer. If you don’t have the answers right now, have faith that you may not need them at the moment. Consider carefully ways that guilt may be undermining you or keeping you from enjoying yourself. There is a Venus-Jupiter alignment today and tomorrow that can bring in nice prospects or opportunities to feel more comfortable and secure. Money is not just about security for you these days, however – it’s also about freedom. You may be especially motivated to make more, and this attitude can bring greater wealth into your life. This can be a good time for starting or advancing projects that have long-term appeal and profitability. Some of you could uncover a resource or information that benefits you greatly. There could be a significant gift or bonus or you may simply be feeling generous, with others and yourself! Opportunities to make more money could emerge for some of you. Think big and vow to take care of the details later, as the details may not yet be clear – do some overview thinking.

Leo

Jupiter in your sign tends to put you in the spotlight in a very pleasant way these days, dear Leo, but when it forms difficult aspects, there can be some downsides. Today, Jupiter is in awkward angle to Chiron, and you could suddenly feel that you have less answers than you did before. It’s a brief time of doubting or questioning where you’re headed, your current path, or your alliances, and for some, a moral dilemma can be part of the picture. Simplifying, organizing, and eliminating excess can be helpful if you’re feeling uncertain. Look for ways to make adjustments so that you can fully enjoy Jupiter’s alignment with Venus, which can fill you with a nice sense of abundance, perhaps as if puzzle pieces are coming together. Attracting support from others, if you need it, can be easier, and romantic attention is quite likely. You would do well to put a past grudge behind you, as this is a good time for it. You tend to gravitate towards healthy people and situations.

Virgo

A close relationship might be a little strained today, dear Virgo, if topics are being dredged up from the past, or a secret emerges in a disruptive manner. Insecurities can cloud judgment right now. However, find ways to move out of your comfort zone and rise above insecurities and fears, as there can be distinct opportunities to free yourself from a burdensome attachment. Some of you can benefit from synchronicity – something surfaces now, such as an unusual coincidence, that brings some joy into your life. A private matter can also stimulate happy and warm feelings. Helping others, performing a generous act or service, and possibly behind the scenes or anonymously, can be satisfying. Some of you could revive an old relationship or find out about a secret attraction. Love may be complicated but rich. There can be the discovery of an untapped resource now.

Libra

You might come to a realization or concern that certain details of a project or goal are not particularly practical and realistic, dear Libra. If you’ve been taking on too much recently, you’ll feel that excess now and wonder how you can manage everything. However, it’s very important to make the adjustments you need to make and avoid dwelling on the negative now, as there is also strong energy for opportunities. You are connecting with spirited, interesting people, and while your eagerness to share and enjoy others can sometimes have you going overboard, approaching these things with a little more moderation can be wonderful and a stress reducer. Positive attention can come through enthusiastically helping others. For some of you, a friend can come to your aid. Some of you might enjoy new friendships or meet a love interest through a group, friend, or social networking. Don’t hide yourself away at this time, but also be wary of overdoing your pursuit of pleasure or for taking on too many commitments.

Scorpio

A recurring aspect between Jupiter in your reputation /career sector and Chiron in your sector of romance / creativity comes exact today, dear Scorpio, and this is the final one in a set. For some of you insecurities can emerge when it comes to creative endeavors that stop you in your tracks and perhaps have you questioning long-term goals. You could experience a moral dilemma with your work or reputation. Instead of allowing insecurities to drive your actions, aim to learn more about them in order to make important attitude changes, as tonight and tomorrow, Jupiter aligns with Venus helping to open up doors on professional or public levels. This can be, in fact, a strong time for long-term vision, career, and reputation matters, especially if you put yourself out in the world with confidence. You can be in the position to improve your career or financial state now, and for some, your reputation gets a nice boost. People are enjoying and appreciating what you do. You can feel particularly good about your future, where you’re heading, and your ability to manage others. There can be romantic or friendly connections now, and especially through public exposure or business affairs.

Sagittarius

You might experience some guilty feelings if you haven’t paid enough attention to important people in your life, dear Sagittarius. There could be a moral dilemma of sorts. However, communication coming out of any dilemmas experienced today can take you to a much healthier place. Talk things out or through, and you will feel your motivation building. You are feeling in big terms now, after a possibly bumpy morning. There are romantic possibilities these days, and particularly with people of a different background than yours, or who are offering you an entirely different perspective on life. Intelligence attracts! You are more adventurous with your feelings and bolder with your affections. Sharing your ideas with others might even lead to bigger opportunities. The future looks bright, and some of you could be making educational or travel plans.

Capricorn

A recurring aspect between Jupiter and Chiron comes exact again today, dear Capricorn, and this can have you questioning your current path, worrying about having paid too much attention to your personal life at the expense of other important activities, or dealing with an insecure partner. Avoid subconsciously expecting too much from others, or putting all of your eggs into one basket. Rise above insecurities in order to enjoy another important energy available today that can lead to the strengthening of a relationship or connection with someone. There could be word of money or support coming through, a windfall of sorts, or an open-hearted conversation that makes you feel quite wonderful. Your people instincts are especially strong, and you may find joy through an intimate moment or a moment of profound self-honesty. This is an excellent time for talking about your needs, as others are responsive and some of the usual barriers and boundaries dissolve.

Aquarius

While there can be somewhat demotivating energy surrounding partnerships, values, resources, and finances right now, Aquarius, getting over this hump can be very much worth your while today, as there can be distinct opportunities to win others over or to enhance a relationship. If someone feels they’re giving more than they are receiving, or if there are noticeable discrepancies in values and attitudes about money, then put the energy forth to make the necessary adjustments. This can be a good time for attracting a pleasant or helpful person into your life. There can be mutual benefit through others today, and you might reach a new level of understanding with someone special. You can experience joy in feeling part of a partnership now, if applicable, or if you’re not paired up with anyone, simply being around and being supportive of someone special. You are expressing real confidence and you have a strong desire to move forward – to forgive and forget.

Pisces

While there can be some tendency to second-guess your recent decisions or to lose focus, it’s very important to take extra time to realign yourself with what you are looking for, as there is excellent energy with you for opportunities to improve or enjoy your daily life and bodily concerns (health matters, work, and so forth). Look out for impractical thinking and too-high expectations, but do watch for interesting possibilities. Good humor can be healing today. You may be feeling happy about getting things done or being of service. Be open about making connections and socializing in places you never thought to do so, and find new ways to explore and enjoy the work you perform or the services you render on a daily basis.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, June 29th

Aries

While you’re emotionally prepared for non-routine experiences today, dear Aries, this is in fact a wonderful time to nurture and develop your pet projects or work today. Conditions as well as people in your life seem to support your efforts, or at least allow you the pleasure of going about doing what you want to do without guilt or distraction. You could be motivated to work harder because of clear goals or to better take care of you and yours. There is a real protector in you these days.

Taurus

You may be learning new things about your love life today, dear Taurus, and you are in better touch with your deeper feelings. There is a feeling that love can overcome anything. This is also a good time for career developments or moves. People look at you with more respect, as you have special executive ability and can easily manage others in fair ways. You have a way of being practical, calm, persistent, and sensible, and these things earn you natural respect. Today and tomorrow, make sure you are around people you love and showing your care. These are strong days for building close relationships.

Gemini

You can be providing support today in a great range of positions or roles, dear Gemini. You instinctively know that there are learning experiences to be found virtually everywhere, and today, opportunities are rich through friends or networking activities. This is a more sociable day than most, and it’s especially important, both today and tomorrow, to reach out and make connections. Open the lines of communication, as opportunities to advance your current interests and to welcome new people and experiences abound now.

Cancer

If your life can benefit from doing some research or investigating a particular topic further, dear Cancer, today is an excellent time to dig in. You are in a great position to look for answers, and your eye for uncovering the right information is keen. The day also favors work in general, as well as nurturing relationships with superiors or people who can help you achieve your goals. Emotional focus today is on being useful and productive – satisfy this need, and you’re likely to be feeling especially satisfied and happy. The glamorous stuff can wait!

Leo

This can be a powerful day for nurturing your relationships, dear Leo, as your dedication is clear (or that of a partner or friend) and this can help strengthen a bond and enhance a feeling of camaraderie. Today and tomorrow are excellent for coming across well, and for people bringing out the very best in you. If there is a relationship that needs some extra care, this can be a good time for paying the attention it deserves. It’s also a strong time for PR or other promotional activities.

Virgo

You have a very genuine desire to help and support others, dear Virgo, and this trait is strongly emphasized today. You can go to great lengths to find the information you need to help someone you care about, and can easily get a bit carried away with research or delving a little more deeply into whatever topic or project you’re currently interested in. There can be a stronger need for a bit of solitude or for familiar faces and activities today, as you’d prefer some time to recoup emotionally. However, your mind is very busy, and you should take advantage of this extra focus.

Libra

Your powers of attraction and personal magnetism are special today, dear Libra, and your own feelings tend to match the intensity you’re projecting. This is a good day for expressing yourself through creative mediums. You are also coming across as reliable and valuable, so that relationships of all kinds can benefit. Today and tomorrow are especially strong for repairing and strengthening your friendships and partnerships. You are not only received well, you’re also finding more value in the connections you make, and this is radiated in happy ways in whatever you’re doing now.

Scorpio

Today brings good energy for emotional connections and the work that goes into making relationships healthy and satisfying, dear Scorpio. It’s also a fine time for putting in extra energy when it comes to personal interests, work, and fitness or other health programs and routines. You’re motivated to provide, support, and nurture the people you love and to honor the processes that help you and yours thrive. People are drawn to you today – they seem to appreciate all that you do, and find your presence calming and possibly even healing.

Sagittarius

This can be a wonderful day for finding new ways to communicate, dear Sagittarius, as well as to show how much you care about someone through your words or simply the act of reaching out and making a connection. You may be in the position of go-between now. The Moon has moved into your sign, and emotions are heightened. There can be an urgency felt now when it comes to fulfilling your emotional needs, but taming this a little can go a long way towards greater happiness today. Be moderate, but listen closely to the feelings that surface now.

Capricorn

There is a strong focus on making life more secure and fulfilling today, dar Capricorn. A happy and safe environment at home can be a prime motivator now, and you seem to have the support of others and circumstances to find ways to improve your well-being. You can also be experiencing deeper desires and a need for a stronger connection with someone special. The Moon has moved into your privacy zone, and attention is drawn to your inner world as well today. You may need more time alone to think, decide, and process recent events and feelings.

Aquarius

This is a strong day for working on pet projects or studies, dear Aquarius, as you can be super motivated to put time and effort into your work and interests. You have a special way with words today, and you may be recognized for your insight, wit, intelligence, and concern or care. Your ability to get to the point is strong, and your ability to see what others may need is powerful as well. Today and tomorrow are especially good days for meeting new people or enhancing existing relationships with warm, generous energy.

Pisces

This can be a time when you’re especially motivated to make yourself more secure, dear Pisces, and if this means working harder to make more money, then so be it. You are feeling particularly independent and focused. This is also a good day for releasing resentment or negative feelings in order to move past or beyond an emotionally “stuck” place. Today and tomorrow are particularly strong for letting go so that you can more fully appreciate the good in your life.

Daily Planet Tracker: Pluto in Capricorn, Now Until Mar 23, 2023

Planet Tracker

Pluto in Capricorn

Now Until Mar 23, 2023

The planet of transformation ends its 13-year stay in religious Sagittarius, a period when fundamentalist beliefs have radically changed the world. The next phase, Pluto’s entry into organizational Capricorn, will alter the nature of corporations, nations and international groups of all kinds. The planet Pluto and sign Capricorn share a strong sense of intention and focus that are likely to increase efficiency in many domains. However, their mutual hunger for results can repress compassion and contrary views that might slow down the inexorable march forward. The power of corporations will probably reach a tipping point during Pluto’s 15-year stay in Capricorn. It is possible that multi-nationals will grow so strong that they will supplant governments as primary sources of authority. While some believe that this has already occurred, we can expect a further erosion of state control or a strong reaction against corporations that eventually reduces their dominance. This reflects the Pluto paradox as this planet both intensifies and purifies, concentrating force and yet, eventually, breaking down structures to eliminate excess.

Pluto and Capricorn are more about collective structures than personal ones, yet we will still experience this transit as individuals. Stripping away unwieldy and outmoded ambition can challenge us to reconsider our goals, even our most treasured ones. Pluto raises the stakes in whatever game you’re playing, challenging you to increase your commitment or to leave the table. Again, there is a risk of becoming so focused on achieving results that flexibility is lost. It’s hard to keep an open mind in a tunnel, so burrowing through the boundaries of certainty is a healthy counterpoint for balancing Pluto in Capricorn’s excessive determination.

Pluto is associated with the psychological shadow, making it more common place to project negative images on authority figures. While we can hope that its transit through Capricorn may purge destructive elements from the culture, an even more productive application of this force is to question the certainty of your own beliefs. A willingness to re-examine them cuts away lazy thinking and outmoded concepts that inhibit growth and the full realization of our potential.

Ideally, Pluto brings us to the essence of issues and, in Capricorn, will lead to a transformation of the social order, one in which the extreme inequities of power and resources are overcome by a burgeoning awareness of our shared humanity. Extreme danger from environmental issues is one less than desirable way in which our priorities can become redirected. Yet as more and more individuals take responsibility for themselves, the power of transformation can come from within and be a consciously creative force for change. When each of us faces our fears and turns darkness into light we can reshape the world with love and hope rather than reacting to pain and fear.

Let’s Get A Jump On The Week Ahead – Weekly Astrology: March 2-8, 2014

Weekly Astrology: March 2-8, 2014

Turn your frown upside down this week!

Maria DeSimone on the topics of venus, mars, astrology

The week may not begin on a happy note, especially when it comes to romantic and partnership matters. Is there any hope at all?

Of course! But you’ll have to wait until Wednesday, when love planet Venus moves into friendly Aquarius.

Sunday, March 2: Venus in Capricorn square Mars Retrograde in Libra and Saturn Retrograde

On Sunday, Venus in sober Capricorn will be at odds with Mars Retrograde in Libra. This incompatible combination between the cosmic lovers might leave you feeling as if you’ll never find the middle ground between you and your sweetie that you hope for. In business relationships expect a gridlock alert!

On the same day, Saturn will turn retrograde, where he’ll remain until July 20. Over these months it’ll be a good idea to retrace your steps around career moves and goals. This will especially apply to partnerships and other collaborations until May 19.

Monday, March 3: Sun in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn

On Monday, there is a light of hope in the sky. The Sun in Pisces will be at a friendly angle to Pluto, allowing you to transform an inspired project in a way that allows its light to shine through.

Wednesday, March 5: Venus in Aquarius

Matters of the heart and friendship get a jolt on Wednesday, when love planet Venus moves into Aquarius, where she’ll remain until April 5. Now, the way to your heart is through camaraderie. Friends first will be a must, but it’s also possible that you’ll be more attracted to those who reveal their humanitarian side more easily. You might work on a group endeavor that has the capacity to benefit the masses, and as you do so you just might meet someone who makes your heart swoon.

Because Aquarius is ruled by tech-savvy Uranus, Internet dating will be a popular way to meet someone special. You might also notice a greater amount of flirty remarks on your Twitter feed!

Thursday, March 6: Jupiter Direct

Then, Jupiter turns direct on Thursday, and you’ll feel like luck is once again on your side. Ah, that’s exactly where it should be!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, Feb. 18th

Prepare yourself for a momentous day across the board. Primary partnerships may see some new wrinkles and nerves can be frayed as Jupiter in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn at 1:17AM. Don’t make any difficult situations more stressful by trying to throw your weight around or taking a partner for granted. Every act of kindness is a step in the right direction. Mercury enters compassionate, empathic and psychic Pisces at 6:30AM — although this Messenger of the Gods planet is also slowing down in motion as it nears a three-week reversal starting on Thursday Feb. 6. The Moon in Aquarius is in void mode starting at 8:46AM and lasting 11 hours until 7:46PM when the lunar orb enters Pisces. In the meantime, Venus — which began a retrograde cycle on December 21, 2013 at 29 degrees of Capricorn — will make a station and turn direct at 12:50PM (activating 14 degrees of Capricorn). [Venus will remain in forward motion until July 25, 2015 when it will go retrograde again at 1 degree of Virgo — a reversal lasting 44 days until September 6, 2015 when it returns to direct motion at 15 degrees of Leo.] Today, all Venus themes — love and romance, business deals and opportunities, social activities, the fine and graphic arts, circles of friendship, your antenna of feelings and sensations, essential values to live by — are accentuated not only at the exact time of the shift, but throughout the entire 24-hour time-period. Be ready for some celestial shenanigans this evening when the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Jupiter (8:06PM). When the two largest cosmic bodies form one of these alignments, large-scale plans can often go awry or lose their traction. While a Moon-Mercury conjunction in Pisces (8:40PM) gives communications and correspondence a temporary boost, the red planet Mars in parallel with the Moon (11:09PM) reminds you to be extra sensitive to loved ones needing support rather than criticism. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, February 14th

Keep enjoying the fun-and-games, ebullient atmosphere that the lunar orb in Sagittarius seems to usually encourage every month. In addition, key relationships can benefit from greater, in-depth understanding by partners since Juno forms a sextile with Pluto (3:53AM). The Moon in Sagittarius begins a void limbo time-span — starting at 2:03PM and lasting until 9:05PM when the lunar orb enters hardworking, determined Capricorn. During the void limbo zone, strive to maintain your productivity in major fields of expertise as the Moon contacts Ceres via a supportive, 60-degree rapport (7:15PM). Insights abound shortly thereafter when Pallas in Virgo forms a polarity with Chiron in Pisces (7:56PM). With the Moon still in void mode, Mercury makes a flowing trine in air signs with Vesta (8:35PM). This potentially auspicious alignment should be utilized once the Moon is in practical, resourceful Capricorn terrain (9:05PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 31

We’re in such a period of change that it’s challenging to get a handle on our current feelings. Our fantasies run rampant now that cerebral Mercury is in imaginative Pisces. Meanwhile, the emotionally detached Aquarius Moon shifts into Pisces at 10:44 pm EST to further amplify our dreams. And Venus, retrograde since December 21, turns direct today, freeing our desires from the past. However, it may take a few days to notice any real progress.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There is no need to stress about whether or not you are appreciated by your peers. If you have been meeting your obligations without stirring up too much trouble, then you will likely receive accolades for your efforts. But don’t obsess about being noticed because your desire for immediate recognition could spoil your success before it arrives. Just keep up the good work without engaging in any attention-seeking behavior; your contribution will be acknowledged sooner than you think.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your drive to step beyond preexisting boundaries continues to motivate your current choices. However, there’s no guarantee that impulsive behavior will pay off. To the contrary, it’s accomplishing the long-term goals that should be in the spotlight now because this can bring you the most happiness. Don’t succumb to the temptation of shortcuts. Your most reliable strategy today is to stick to the tried and true when it comes to your future.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Make a commitment to explore the intensity of your shadows; it’s the uncomfortable places within your mind that could offer the most growth now. Given the choice, you often steer clear of the darkness, yet there is a powerful attraction drawing you into your subconscious today. Courage is the key; remember, you will be changed by what you discover. This journey into the unknown can transform your fear into love.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Acknowledging the expectations that others place upon you raises old relationship issues, tempting you to escape from the jaws of commitment. Unfortunately, you might not be in a position to sidestep the promises you made. Thankfully, the tide is turning; if you honor your obligations with a positive attitude, love just might be closer than you think. Don’t let your past define your future.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you might feel a sense of urgency to resolve a conflict with a coworker, it’s smarter to let the dynamics play out naturally. Fortunately, you can minimize the pressure by remembering that the current deadlines are arbitrary. Even if your nerves are frayed, the energy will calm down if you fill your day with productive activities. Focusing on the details won’t fix any underlying issues, but it improves your chances of enjoying yourself over the weekend.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Whoever says that you can’t loosen up is missing an important part of your natural expression. While it’s true that many Virgos have difficulty pretending that they are having fun if they’re not, you do know how to kick up your heels when the opportunity arises. Over the days ahead, take a chance and demonstrate another side of your personality; impress others with your spontaneity and charm.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Family obligations seem to be your top priority these days, perhaps even to the extent of avoiding the work that’s expected of you now. Thankfully, you can clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel, motivating you to follow through on your promises. Your willingness to jump in without reserve enables you to get results faster than you expect. More than anything, you want peace at home and this is your chance to make it happen.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your interest in your immediate surroundings continues to grow. Perhaps you have already invested in household items that increase your comfort and beautify your environment. Now it’s time to take the pleasure principle to the next level; give yourself permission to further indulge your senses while the cosmic energies are cheering you on. Taking care of yourself empowers you to make other positive changes in your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you Archers aren’t typically known for having issues with low self-esteem, sometimes you still face the same insecurities as everyone else. If you have struggled with your self-worth recently, it’s time to complete your process of transformation now so you can get on with your life. Undervaluing your contribution to others limits your development. Take a realistic look at what you do best and focus on that for the next few weeks.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s time to step out from the shadows and let your love light shine now that Venus is turning direct in Capricorn. Thankfully, the Goddess of Love brings the sweet pleasures that were denied or delayed while she was retrograde in your sign over the last six weeks. Review your recent experiences to see what you can learn from them. But don’t linger in the past; follow your heart’s desire as it reveals the numerous possibilities ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might not be able to clearly express what you want with sensual Venus hanging out in your 12th House of Secrets. However, now that the planet of love turns direct, you may begin to feel the urge to open your heart wide enough to share some previously hidden desires. Don’t rush the process; giving yourself enough time to get comfortable with your disclosures increases the likelihood of your message being well received.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are being shown again and again how important your friends are now and you really appreciate their unwavering presence in your life. However, if you’re seeking new connections, it’s a great time to reach out and make overtures to others to build a network of support. Remember, being friendly is a conscious choice. Going out of your way to create community continues to bring blessings in the weeks ahead.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, January 27th

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 20th

Venus continues to move retrograde in Capricorn, reminding all of us that the “business” side of love needs attention. Time your conversations early in the week — before Friday — to take advantage of a sexy communication link between Mercury and Mars. Move quickly to ask for what you want, though, before the weekend is underway. By Saturday, Mercury will square off with Saturn, and the weight of your words can stabilize love — or bury it.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Take advantage of the boost in social energy early in the week. Leading up until Friday, it’s possible you and your partner will enjoy a party or other event with mutual friends. There’s a good chance you’ll meet up with pals who share a similar interest that is somehow “out of the box.” Your mind will enjoy a boost of stimulation, which will help you keep things interesting in all aspects of your life — especially romance!

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not feel as if your mate is fully supporting you with a career decision that looms ahead. He or she might have the perspective that you’re pushing your luck and threatening your security by making the next move you plan to make. While this might be a valid point, don’t allow pessimism to deter you. Realize it’s also possible that your sweetheart is projecting his or her own fears onto you. Pursue what you know is right for you.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Set your sights on an adventure with your lover this week — or at least plan to talk about one. A brilliant opportunity to expand your horizons is possible, and of course you’ll want to include your sweetheart. You might decide to take a class together that allows you to explore an offbeat topic that interests you both. You may also talk about planning that exotic vacation. Keep talking, but don’t commit just yet — wait until after Venus turns direct on January 31 for any big ticket purchases.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

If you feel tightness in the romance department this week it’s not your imagination. As a matter of fact, you and your sweetie might endure a stressful conversation — especially near Saturday. This will likely have to do with shared resources, such as your partner’s income, insurance benefits or even shared debt. You might realize that taking a vacation together or spending extra cash isn’t a smart idea right now. Taking a mature and responsible approach in handling your joint finances won’t feel fun. But it is necessary.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Domestic responsibility might squeeze the romance out of your life this week. You might need to take care of an elderly relative or attend to another family obligation, and if so it’s likely to take your attention away from your mate. What might make this more unsettling is that your partner isn’t likely to support you while you carry this extra family weight. In fact, he or she may resent the fact that you’re focused so much on your clan. A happy medium may not be possible … push through.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A serious conversation about who’s pulling more weight in your relationship may be called for. If you’re still feeling resentment about doing more of the everyday work to keep the nuts and bolts intact around your love nest, you may finally voice your frustration. Try your best to approach your mate in a way that won’t put him or her on the defensive. If you express how you feel honestly, and without reproach, a resolution is possible. In the end, however, it’s you who might need to draw boundaries. Did your lover really insist that you clean every nook and cranny of space you share? Probably not … that’s a “you” thing. Own it.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your love life will be on fire this week — at least in your mind. The good news is that your ability to talk to someone special will be incredible — especially if you act by Friday. Go ahead and ask out someone who isn’t usually “your type.” You may be pleasantly surprised to learn the two of you have so much in common and plenty to talk about. Just remember that your ruler, Venus, is still in retrograde motion. Starting a new relationship isn’t ideal under this condition. Even so, there’s nothing wrong with talking and getting to know someone. Just take it slow.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Talking to a relative about your love life might not always appeal to you, you might make an exception this week. There’s a strong possibility that someone in your clan understands more about what you’re going through romantically these days than you might ever have guessed. In fact, you’ll only know just how startling the parallels in your love life are if you have the courage to talk about your own first. It’s OK — go there. You won’t regret it.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Time with friends might prove beneficial for you in more ways than one this week. If you and your partner attend an event with a group of pals, you’re likely to find it renews sparks between you. Stimulating conversation in a group setting will likely lead to extra-curricular romance behind closed doors later on, when it’s just the two of you. Unfortunately, your ideal social time this week will be before Friday. The weekend will be a dud, so plan accordingly.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your love life might remain in a fragile state for just a little bit longer. Venus is still traveling retrograde in your sign — a phenomenon that will continue to test relationship and your lovability factor until January 31. This week, you might feel as if you’re making progress when it comes to courageously talking about what you know you’re worth. Remember, you’re a rare and beautiful find and anyone who loves you should treasure that fact. Don’t sell yourself short!

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A heated debate between you and your sweetheart might send sparks flying all over the place this week — especially between the sheets! Don’t be worried about adamantly defending your stance on a particular subject, even if your mate doesn’t agree with your perspective. For most of this week you’ll have a remarkable ability to sound sexy and informed all at once. Use it to your advantage. Go after your lover by seducing his or her brain first!

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A deep and meaningful conversation with your partner this week might help you forge a greater bond, physically and spiritually. Don’t worry about freaking out your mate with wild or eccentric thoughts now. Sharing what’s really on your mind is what your lover craves from you and what he or she will respond to most. Even if it’s a silly fantasy or an irrational fear, talking about it will help you feel more connected to your mate. Open your mind and your heart.

Born on the Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp (Jan. 17th – Jan. 23rd)

Born on the Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp

The Cusp of Mystery and Imagination is never a dull thing

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of cusp, capricorn, astrology, aquarius

What happens when you combine the energies of capable Capricorn and quirky Aquarius? You get highly unique individuals, that’s what. If you were born between about January 17 and January 23, you were born on The Cusp of Mystery and Imagination, and there’s never a dull moment.

Whether outwardly flamboyant or shy and quiet, Capricorn-Aquarius cuspers always have much excitement going on internally. They have vivid dreams and rich fantasies that need to be expressed creatively if they’re to be happy.

Prone to leading unusual lives, “Capriquarians” often struggle to balance the two very different sides of their personalities — they are reserved yet social, security-craving but independent, and traditional yet offbeat.

Capricorn-Aquarius cuspers love to talk and entertain, and they especially enjoy intellectually stimulating conversations about any manner of strange topics. This is why no matter how hard they work or how dedicated they are to achieving their goals, things are never dull.

While hard-work and high standards bring these cuspers much success in most career endeavors, they can have more difficulty maintaining personal relationships. This is perhaps due to a need for independence, and a tendency to seem aloof and critical — sometimes even selfish. However, if they can put forth the loyal, funny and friendly sides of themselves they’ll make fast friends.
