Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 22

The Sun’s entry into a new sign (7:50AM PDT) — Libra — carries an extra dose of concern in 2012. The reason is that a little less than 5 hours from this point a quarter-moon cycle will come into the picture — equating with a rapid rise in tensions across the board. Here’s how this situation comes into being. First, the Sun shifts gears from earthy Virgo to airy Libra at 7:50AM PDT. Nothing really seems amiss and there is now a 30-day focus on improving the quality of primary partnerships as well as picking up the pace in the fine or graphic arts. However, a seemingly innocent Moon-Saturn 60-degree rapport (9:46AM PDT) begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 12:22PM PDT (when the Moon enters hardnosed and industrious Capricorn). It is then at 12:42PM PDT that a potentially strong problem manifests when the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in — energizing 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn. Therefore, we now have not only a solar-lunar 90-degree square pattern that can signify stormy emotions affecting millions of people, but the places in the zodiac where they are doing the square (at 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn) carry archetypal significance, referring to the state of the society as a whole and the corporate-business-professional climate as a whole. Hopefully, due to the relatively quick motion of the Moon, multiple crises will be averted as cool heads prevail over temperamental individuals who are on ego trips. Relax in a hot tub or enjoy a whirlpool treatment later on as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the healing celestial body Chiron (11:04PM PDT).

Weekend Love Horoscopes for September 21 – 23

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Light and Dark

September 21 – 23

The weekend starts off on a high note, with Friday being the perfect time to let go of responsibilities, set aside reality, and go all out for a good time. The enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon awakens a taste for adventure and an appreciation for risk. Favorable lunar aspects to Astrology’s favorite planets, Jupiter and Venus, kick up the potential for fun. This is not the moment for serious discussions about relationships or about anything else for that matter. A humorous attitude and an interest in games make this a joyous day.

Saturday’s story is very different, starting with the Sun’s entry into artistic Libra, which is useful for restoring fairness in relationships and enhancing personal style. But the Moon’s move into serious Capricorn in the afternoon adds a small dose of competitiveness that can make it harder for some people to compromise.

The most potent astrological patterns occur very late on Saturday night and very early Sunday morning, with the Moon’s intense aspects to unruly Uranus and punchy Pluto putting an unexpected twist on social activities. Sudden changes of mood and feelings of suspicion could undercut trust. Holding on to the past is less likely to work than taking risks to turn partnerships in radical new directions. Stay flexible and open-minded to help break through tiring patterns and create new paths to partnership

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 18

This is a good point in this calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments and events from one 24-hour time-period don’t necessarily disappear the next day. Therefore, last night’s Pluto station — as well as several other aspects — are still reverberating through the psychic atmosphere, although today’s cosmic connections are more dynamic and upfront. Don’t get nipped by Saturn’s realistic or pessimistic outlook on life as the Moon unites with Saturn in Libra (4:31AM PDT) — a monthly conjunction that also begins a void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 7:47AM PDT when the Moon enters intense Scorpio. Once the Moon enters the eighth sign of the zodiac, it is wise to don your detective garb, a la Sherlock Holmes, to solve mysteries and ferret out secrets. Energizing your psychic sensitivity and creative imagination is a Moon-Neptune trine in water signs (9:34AM PDT). Strive to keep being productive in arts, crafts and hobbies as Venus makes a 45-degree tie to Ceres (11:54AM PDT). Healing forces regain the initiative as the Moon trines Chiron (6:22PM PDT). The big news is the second of seven Uranus-Pluto squares happening at 10:58PM PDT and activating 7 degrees of Aries and Capricorn. The first Uranus-Pluto face-off occurred on June 24 and the last one will happen on March 26, 2015. Anticipate shocks, surprises and the unknown to be in the driver’s seat for the time-being. It is not easy to harness the higher vibrations of this 90-degree clash of the titans, but studying depth psychology and esoteric philosophy will certainly steer you in the right direction. It may also be helpful that an illuminating Mercury-Pallas polarity occurs at 11:39PM PDT. Dust off your problem-solving skills and ability to strategize like an expert.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 17th

There is an old saying that goes you can’t always get what you want. Twice a year, distant Pluto turns motionless and that ancient truism immediately comes into earthly manifestation. Nevertheless, even though Pluto at 7 degrees of Capricorn is making a station and turning from reverse to direct tonight at 10:08PM PDT, you may still be able to get some goodies along the way. The main reason is that in the early hours the Moon in Libra makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Venus in Leo (1:40AM PDT). Love vibrations can temporarily flourish. Plus — the Moon provides another sense of relief and mental exuberance by forming a trine with Jupiter (8:28AM PDT). In between those two harmonious aspects, a Moon-Saturn parallel (4:29AM PDT) followed by an off-kilter, 150-degree link from Mercury to Neptune (7:26AM PDT) attempt to rain on your parade. It is the Mercury-Neptune connection that can equate with rising waves of confusion and chaos in business, trade and currency markets. It doesn’t help communications or travel plans very much as well. Add to this a frictional, 45-degree tie from Mercury to Mars (3:06PM PDT) and Moon-Neptune parallel (8:20PM PDT) and you may wind up going on a cosmic detour and losing your way. Of course, all of this uncertainty is happening before Pluto officially is motionless (10:08PM PDT). All Pluto themes — death-rebirth and regeneration, catharsis and metamorphosis, willpower, mysteries and secrets, atomic and nuclear forces, repression of feelings and memories, hypnosis, the Underworld, phobias and nightmares, extreme behavior patterns — are emphasized now and over the next day or two. [Pluto will remain in direct motion until April 12, 2013 when it will once again go into reverse at 12 degrees of Capricorn.]

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 12

It is only once in a while that Venus makes so many stellar contacts in a 48-hour time-period. Yesterday we watched Venus singing the praises of the Moon, Vesta, Mercury and Pallas. Today the lunar orb unites with Venus in Leo (8:17AM PDT) followed by Venus making an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Chiron (10:54AM PDT) and Pluto (4:48PM PDT), and then Venus connecting with revolutionary Uranus in a flowing trine in fire signs (9:46PM PDT). It was only last Thursday that Chiron in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn forged a supportive, 60-degree alliance. Now Venus in Leo turns that 60-degree link into a Yod or Finger of God triangle sky pattern. Any Yod personifies mysteries and this one has something to do with holistic healing, psychology, metamorphosis, and becoming an agent of world goodwill. Adding emphasis to the healing nature of today’s Venusian powerhouse is the presence of the Sun making a contra-parallel to Chiron (8:24PM PDT). This latter aspect can be tweaked into helping you tune into advances in alternative medicine, wise use of herbs, and meditational techniques that help you coordinate body, mind and spirit. The Venus liaison with Uranus (9:46PM PDT) activates your intuition — giving you a new boost in any of the fine or graphic arts.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 28

We attempt to keep the lid on reality today with the Moon in conservative Capricorn, but things get strange when she shifts into eccentric Aquarius at 1:38 pm EDT. Meanwhile, shocking Uranus is activated by Mercury, Venus and Mars, triggering new ideas, as if lightning is striking within our brains. Still, it’s difficult to stay emotionally detached, even if we try to maintain objectivity. More is happening than meets the watchful eye.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your life seems to grow crazier today, as if everything hasn’t been weird enough already. You have a lot to do now, but others may not realize exactly how much you have on your plate. The good news is that you can compress time and accomplish a lot, especially when the pressure builds. Try to set a manageable pace for yourself, even if it’s difficult to stick with your original plan.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in a stressful frame of mind today and things that are usually fun and easy may become the source of anxiety. You might do better if you are willing to let go of your preconceived agenda and roll with the incoming waves of emotional intensity. An unexpected event could be a signal that something is off-kilter. If anything goes wrong now try to understand the deeper message. Staying open to change allows you to make the most of the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Circumstances grow more intense as you are pulled in multiple directions. You want to keep your attention on a specific task today, but chances are that you might be easily distracted. However, you may not be able to resist the temptation. Just remember to put yourself back on track as soon as you realize what has happened. Making the necessary adjustments throughout the day enables you to rise above the noise and reach your goals.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have an innate sense of knowing when the emotional tides are changing. You can feel it in your stomach; you just know something’s going on. Although your tendency now may be to say too much rather than too little, there are things that must be brought out into the light of day. Speak as kindly and respectfully as possible. Playing the guilt card won’t improve the situation.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are experiencing a metaphorical changing of the guard; one phase is over yet the next one hasn’t yet begun. In this time of being in between worlds, you have an opportunity to react to the circumstances as they unfold, without being anchored down by your own emotional baggage. Take the developments in your life slowly, for they are important ones and you really need to respond in a thoughtful manner.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Things seem to be getting better today, but the final outcome depends totally upon you. It’s good news if you’re willing to let go of people or things that no longer serve a meaningful purpose. It’s also time to say goodbye to those aspects of your personality that impede your progress. Bring whatever makes you feel tense to the surface so you can deal with it out in the open once and for all.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If someone seems erratic to you today, remember that you’re the one being zapped by unpredictable Uranus. Anything that happens out of the blue now is pointing the way to hidden stress that needs to be released. Even if things seem crazy, it’s time to take a serious look at your personal and professional relationships. Don’t stand in the way of change. Be bold and stir up anything that feels stuck so that you can break free from old patterns.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your nervous system is buzzing today. You may feel as if you’re trying to choose between wanting to participate in a group project and needing your personal freedom. However, it’s exciting to be involved with something larger than your individual interests. Allow yourself to experience the energy of sudden change rather than attempting to avoid it. You will feel revitalized when the edginess settles down tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unexpected romantic conflict might surface today and have impact on other areas of your life. If there are relationship tensions brewing now, this is a time when they may suddenly blast into your awareness. But you aren’t eager to show your vulnerability. Although this emotional exposure could be unpleasant at first, it’s catalytic and certainly can lead to positive change. Clearing the air opens the doors for amazing opportunities to follow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are attracted to a wide variety of new ideas during this topsy-turvy time. Something that you might have judged negatively during another period in your life now makes total sense. You are becoming more aware of innovative concepts that are normally outside of your comfort zone. If you allow yourself to entertain intellectual possibilities today, exciting experiences could follow. Let yourself experience the buzz, even if you choose not to act on it.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You feed off of the energy of a group, but you don’t actually feel as if you’re part of it. Sometimes, when others are stressed you are just excited about the potential. You need to stay open to big changes now because things will only grow more unstable if you try to hold on to the safety of old habits and structures. Let go of those things that are holding you back to make the upcoming transition as smooth as possible.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to expect the unexpected, even if you are comfortably settled into a relationship. Of course, knowing how to second-guess what’s around the corner remains a mystery. Your need for freedom of expression is strong now, so anything can happen. If you have tied your future to a narrow band of expectations, then you could be in for an abrupt surprise. But if you remain open to new possibilities, today’s awakening can carry you along toward your destination in life.

Cosmic Calendar for August 28

Right off the bat you are confronted with some celestial shenanigans as Mercury makes an abrasive, 135-degree tie with shock-master Uranus (12:09AM PDT). When these two planets work in harmony, intellect and intuition form a natural partnership. However, right now, a battle of nerves can ensue with no clear winner. Helping you find some comfort and nurturance is a 60-degree rapport from Mercury to Ceres (12:56AM PDT). Tensions resume their superior position a few hours later when the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Libra (3:34AM PDT) — a 90-degree aspect that starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 10:40AM PDT. Trying to please everyone during the 7-hour void lunar limbo time-span won’t work or be rewarding. It is best to tune out the frenetic pace of modern living and seek the quiet refuge of a retreat, studio or library. Once the Moon enters airy, universal and iconoclastic Aquarius (10:40AM PDT), many opportunities to make forward progress should present themselves. It is once more sensible to join forces with like-minded souls in creating groups or organizations that strive to uplift humanity around the globe.

Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for August 24 – 26

By Jeff Jawer

Action-Packed Amour

August 24 – 26

Put on your running shoes and get ready for adventure this weekend. The Moon enters enthusiastic and dynamic Sagittarius on Friday morning to inspire vigorous activity. This is no time to be lounging around in a lazy mood because the train to social stimulation is moving fast. Leaving behind familiar places and activities is one way to catch a ride, but opening minds to bigger visions of the future is equally important. There’s a fast and loose quality with the Sagittarius Moon that makes jokes fly freely. Sensitive souls can be bruised if these comments are taken too seriously. Fortunately, assertive Mars in sexy Scorpio aligns favorably with compassionate Neptune, which should smooth most of the rough edges. And even if someone goes too far in word or deed, there’s an ability to recognize mistakes and right the situation.
Sunday is more serious with the Moon’s move into responsible Capricorn in the morning. Plans solidify and ambitions grow, which can put a crimp on spontaneity. The Moon’s conjunction with potent, penetrating Pluto touches powerful feelings, and deciding whether to share these desires, doubts and fears or not could be a critical choice.

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

by Mel, selected from DivineCaroline

I’ve always had great luck with Capricorns. Tauruses? Yawn. Geminis? Maybe, if you like all that talking. Leos? Self-absorbed drama queens. My romantic history is a constellation of personalities and capabilities and experiences, but there’s obviously something about my Virgo sensibilities that jibes with the patience that the average Capricorn bestows upon the act of tossing a girl’s salad. Or did you think I was talking about something else? We’re not interested in love matches here, people. This is all about that other kind of chemistry and which signs of the Zodiac are guaranteed to be a good time and which might be a great time.

Aries: The Minute Man

This fire sign is known for being a pretty straight shooter. Aries will have no compunction at all about sharing his or her raunchiest ideas about what to do in the sack. The problem with straight shooters, though, is that they always like to get right to the point. So count on an Aries to take charge and get you where you want to go—in a hurry.

Taurus: The Romancer

Where Aries is all lusty impulse, Taurus takes his or her time. Plan on being wined and dined, perhaps to the point of frustration. And once the Taurus has decided you’re the one for the job, prepare yourself for plenty of foreplay. If romance is your thing, Taurus is your sign.

Gemini: The Talker

The Gemini will bring all his or her intellect to bear upon getting bare. If you have simpler, quieter tastes, you might be a little shocked by Gemini’s saucy, seductive monologues. But if phone sex and dirty talking gets your motor humming, a Gemini is what you’re looking for. But be prepared to not get a word in edgewise.

Cancer: The Love Maker

Cancers are highly emotional signs, which means that sex is not merely a mechanical physical undertaking; rather it is expected to be a poetic act of beauty and love and all that good stuff. If you’re going to get naked with a Cancer, prepare yourself for an intense ride. And perhaps some post-coital crying.

Leo: The Narcissist

The passionate and adventurous nature of the Leo cannot be surpassed. There is no end to the imaginative ways a Leo will come up with for you to pleasure him or her. Those cats are born sexual dominants who ooze lusty confidence, and they’re unapologetic about it. While your romp with the lion will be memorable, for sure, best remember your satisfaction will be a secondary matter.

Virgo: The Closet Nympho

You might be surprised to learn that shy, demurring Virgo would ever be ready to rock without than fistfuls of condoms and spanking clean bed sheets. The reserved demeanor of the earthy virgins doesn’t hint at their inner lustiness. Once your Virgo knows and trusts you, watch out. You won’t get a moment’s peace.

Libra: The Connoisseur

The Libra is an artiste when it comes to knocking boots. They seek out a perfect harmony with their partner, luxuriating in every detail, and they go big on romantic accoutrements such as lingerie, massage oil, and soft music. You know, so it’s just like a bad porno—perhaps it even includes a fortuitously timed visit from the pizza guy.

Scorpio: The Leg-Humper

Fiery, licentious Scorpio is the horn dog of the zodiac. While their sexual prowess and magnetism can hardly be ignored, getting in bed with a scorpion can have its sting. While you will probably get the ride of your life, Scorpio’s love ’em and leave ’em approach to sex could leave less lusty signs cold.

Sagittarius: The Don Juan (or Juanita)

A master of the art of seduction, a Sagittarius is all about the hunt. They hone their powers of seduction, pouncing upon their objects of desire only after rendering them utterly helpless in the face of their sexual deftness.

Capricorn: The Slow Boat

Capricorn can come across as a lumbering kind of lover. Slow to make the first move, patient to the point of impertinence once the ball does get rolling, Caps may not wow with skill and energy in the sack, but they will steadily, diligently apply themselves to the all-you-can-eat buffet of their lover. Be patient with a Capricorn, and you will be well rewarded.

Aquarius: The Toy Collector

If you’re someone who is put off by the idea of a velvet box full of scintillating, slippery, and battery-operated accoutrements under your lover’s bed, it’s best you steer clear of Aquarius. Always ready to experiment with any number of the paths to pleasing themselves and their partners, the Aquarian will bring more to the party than some signs can take.

Pisces: Old Faithful

Much like Cancer, Pisces will value the emotional connectivity of sex over the physical one. Passion, love, attention, patience—these will all come into play with your Pisces lover. But you’ll likely have to do most of the work. The fish are notoriously lazy lays, preferring to kick back and bask in the attentions of their beloved. Might want to take a cue from Aquarius and bring some party favors to keep things interesting.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 14

We are traversing some very tricky territory now as the Moon visits supersensitive Cancer, reminding us that home is where the heart is. A growing undercurrent of anxiety may raise control issues in our relationships as the noble Leo Sun stresses the explosive long-lasting Uranus-Pluto square. We wish that we could kick back and relax, but we must express our feelings gently as they surface or they could turn to anger or resentment.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You can finally slow down today — a relatively unusual event — yet you may still resist easing up on the gas. You have been racing at high speed for a while and could be in danger of depleting your fuel. Take the time to gather resources and recharge your batteries while you have the opportunity. Nevertheless, be ready to swing into action later in the day instead of passively waiting for something to happen.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A maternal feeling toward someone you love may sweep over you today, even if you aren’t parentally-inclined. Nurturing others can be healing, yet you must make the effort to do it. But don’t take care of anyone just so you can feel good about yourself. Practicing unconditional love has the greatest impact on everyone involved.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Love begins at home by learning how to value your heart’s desires. You’re often quick to say the right thing at the right time so you receive the approval of others. But now it’s time to stop trying to elicit the response you want from anyone else and follow your dreams. Taking care of yourself feels good; ironically, it also can set the tone to deepen the connection between you and someone special.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although the Moon’s visit to moody Cancer stirs your emotions, you have some serious self-restraint issues coming to light today. You may feel as if you’re on-edge, but cannot easily express the things you want to share. Keep in mind that you’re probably being harder on yourself than is necessary. Stay aware of the facts, but save your critical judgments for another day.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your fantasy life is rich now with the Moon illuminating your 12th House of Imagination. Nevertheless, keep one foot anchored in the real world so you don’t drop off into the realm of dreams. You have significant feelings that you need to unfold in the privacy of your own mind, because letting others know doesn’t seem quite right yet. There’s no need to worry; trust your intuition and you’ll know when to open up.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Sometimes when you’re participating in a group function you are hesitant to say what’s on your mind. You don’t have a problem talking to your partner or your boss in private; however, it’s difficult to express yourself in a public meeting. Gather your courage to speak up today. You don’t need to disclose everything, but rest assured that every word you share will be taken seriously.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to do what’s right, but something is preventing you from taking action now. You have been observing your feelings as they change, but haven’t said anything yet because you don’t want to upset the status quo. However, today you can share what’s been bugging you as long as you do so with sensitivity. Show how much you care in a way that allows you to get away with saying more and offending less.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be especially concerned about your future now. Even your fantasies may be related to your career or community goals rather than your personal life. It’s tempting to get emotionally worked up about issues of social injustice. Your opinions could be so strong that your passionate perspective explodes to the surface. Speak your mind, but hold back just enough so your message isn’t lost in the drama of the moment.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your unexpressed feelings may be the most significant ones now, especially if your idealism attracts unrealistic dreams. Actually, the subtle signals you’re receiving might not even be on the radar of perception. Don’t question where your ideas are coming from. Just listen carefully, even if you’re not sure what you are listening to. Write down everything you hear today; you will understand more in due time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s not all about you today; in fact, it’s about everyone else. At least that’s how it seems. But someone isn’t telling you everything, and the unexpressed feelings can rebound to create a tense situation. If this is what’s happening, look to your own issues and acknowledge your contribution to the current events. You can change your outer world most effectively by transforming your inner perspective.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could be a bit anxious today. Your dilemma stems from your desire for love and acceptance. Of course, nearly everyone wants to feel needed, but you complicate matters by attempting to avoid emotional interdependence. There is no one-size-fits-all answer; instead of seeking the right solution, try to be comfortable with all sides of an issue. Others will be more appreciative when you are flexible enough to recognize their points of view, too.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your feelings are growing more serious day by day. However, it doesn’t mean you are antisocial, even if you need some time to yourself now. To the contrary, this is an ideal day to pursue a romantic interest or to use your creativity to make something real. Reach out to enjoy the moment with someone special.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 31

As July 2012 closes its books, it is crucial to realize that yesterday’s triple-dose of revelatory energy – Venus moving 72-degrees to Pallas, Pallas motionless in Aries, and the Sun trine to Uranus – has not disappeared completely. It is operating under the psychic radar screen, so to speak, still offering you waves of higher guidance. In the meantime, some conservative and cautious energy starts to appear early on as Venus trines Saturn in air signs (12:40AM PDT) while the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Chiron (5:11AM PDT). The Venus-Saturn trine can be tweaked into being a money-making and money-saving alignment, but it can still signify a possible chilliness going on in affairs of the heart. The Sun-Chiron connection gives healing forces a moderate boost, but this alignment suggests you may need to conduct additional research before knowing what kinds of holistic treatments might improve your well-being. The best energizing aspect of the day clocks in at 3:43PM PDT when Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Mars. This combination can be a boost for both communications and athletics. However, by 4:32PM PDT, the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Libra – starting a void lunar cycle that lasts until 2:57AM PDT tomorrow (when the Moon enters the universal air sign of Aquarius). Be aware of and prepare for the radiant and heart-activating Leo-Aquarius Full Moon that arrives with a cosmic bang at 8:29PM PDT Wednesday night.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 30

Psychic storm warnings are posted early today due to the Sun making an off-kilter, 150-degree link to underworld-ruling Pluto (12:10AM PDT). Not only is almost any Sun-Pluto encounter a cause for concern, but this one happens while the Moon is still void in Sagittarius. By 12:30AM PDT, the lunar orb enters hardworking and persevering Capricorn for the next two days. Strive to put your best foot forward on the business and professional fronts. The Sun making a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Vesta (4:32AM PDT) can signify a huge help by increasing the value of your investments. While the monthly Moon-Pluto conjunction (1:05PM PDT) can be somewhat intimidating, you may be able to strike it rich due to Venus making an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Pallas (3:03PM PDT) less than one hour before Pallas itself makes a station at 12 degrees of Aries (3:32PM PDT) and begins a retrograde cycle in the zodiac lasting until November 20. All Pallas themes – mental brilliance, wisdom and knowledge, problem-solving, strategy sessions, scholarly research, seeing invisible patterns, weaving, chess masters, engineering, city planning, video-game and computer programming, inventions, DNA and the genetic code – are accentuated today and tomorrow. Adding to the excitement of today’s halt and reversal by Pallas is a stimulating and insightful trine of 120-degrees by the Sun and Uranus in fire signs (10:23PM PDT). Breakthroughs in higher consciousness abound.

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 23

Little things that typically pass unnoticed may now stand out with great emphasis. Today begins with the Moon in analytical Virgo, focusing our attention on the finer points of life. However, she shifts into agreeable Libra at 6:38 pm EDT, encouraging us to take everything a bit less seriously. Meanwhile, the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, form an otherworldly septile that can touch us with a simple twist of fate and turn a romance inside out.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to know how much to reveal when talking about a current problem. You might believe that you have a concrete plan that will work, but you are likely to misjudge the size of the task. Unfortunately, you don’t have sufficient time to go back to the drawing board. You must simply engage the issue in real time without certainty and do the best you can. The more you take care of today, the easier it will be tomorrow.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might have thought that minimal effort would be enough to accomplish your goals today, but it’s beginning to dawn on you that it’s going to take a lot more work. Fortunately, you’re not easily discouraged and anyway, being hard on yourself is counterproductive. If unexpected difficulties slow you down now, keep applying steady pressure for the best possible results.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It doesn’t matter how hard you’re pushing yourself now or how fast you are already going, since you’re dependent on circumstances outside of your control. The smartest strategy is to consciously slow down before someone else does it for you. It may be frustrating trying to overcome the current resistances head on. Instead, relax and let the events dictate the speed at which you move. Take it easy and enjoy the journey rather than focusing on your destination.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A complete shift of plans might be somewhat upsetting, even if it’s necessary. Remember that your ideas may be totally valid; you just need to take something into account that wasn’t apparent when you first made your plans. Don’t look at the difficulties you face as a failure. This is merely a test to see if you are listening to the feedback the universe is giving you.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your determination continues to create progress in your life, but it’s useful to stop long enough to take stock in what you have already accomplished. Make time to analyze what you truly want and then revise your plans so they reflect your desires. Don’t worry if satisfaction seems just out of reach now. Do what you must while believing that the good times will return.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are becoming increasingly focused on your goals, but the Moon in your sign stirs dissatisfaction with your current situation. Before initiating any major changes in your life, make a list of what you have already done and what is left to do. Finish up as much as you can, even if your work isn’t quite up to your exacting standards. You’ll feel much better about what’s going on now as you look forward to something special in your future.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your desire to keep everyone happy may be challenged today, especially if you believe that you can change someone else’s feelings. Ironically, the more you push for peace, the more you contribute to the tension. An awkward interaction has all the makings of a losing battle. Nevertheless, exercising patience and letting go of control can allow for an equitable solution.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel uneasy about a topic you don’t really want to discuss now, even though your inner voice encourages you to speak up. Nevertheless, you might still try to avoid a subject that could complicate a close relationship. Fortunately, you should be able to push past your resistance because you know that temporarily making a situation worse can actually transform it to ultimately bring you happiness. A calculated risk could clear the air of tension that’s been lingering around for too long.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although your life appears to be running smoothly, you could find yourself working through an unexpected crisis with a close friend or co-worker today. Someone with good intentions might not realize that you’re upset and the more others say or do now, the worse you feel. But there’s no need to stop anyone from talking because that will only raise the frustration level even higher. It’s best to take a break and wait it out; everything will settle down faster than you think.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are a natural when it comes to sensible planning. You’re able to work long and hard to reach your goals. Usually, you reserve some energy for when you need it, but something is pushing you from within now and tempting you to burn all your fuel at once. Nevertheless, it’s really not a good idea. You won’t get what you want any faster, so retain some resources for next month when you will surely need them to sustain your momentum.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may attempt to slog your way through an obstacle course that continues to hold you back, but you’ll face the consequences of your foolishness unless you get it right. This isn’t the best time to try an unproven shortcut or any clever maneuvers. Simply apply yourself in a steady manner, even if you don’t seem to be making a lot of progress. There’s no need for panic; you are accomplishing more than you realize and others will soon notice your work.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s no quick escape route for you now, so don’t even bother wasting your time and energy trying to avoid your work. However, backing off just a little is a good idea; it allows someone else to take the reins for a while. Sharing the burden of leadership lightens your sense of responsibility and can bring you a bit of much-needed freedom. The changes may not be huge, but even a small shift has a positive effect on your attitude.
