Stop, look and listen! The cosmos is a pressure-cooker right now and it’s relatively easy to experience a wave of anxiety and nervous tension. Early on today, you need to deal with two prominent solar encounters – the first being a square to Chiron (1:14AM PST) and the second being a trine to Uranus (2:15AM PST). They can combine to lift your spirits and give you several hours of revelations. Watch your dreams for clues about the future. Precognitive experiences often occur during the sleep state, but we fail to remember them to our own detriment later on. Your physical vitality is enhanced via a Mars-Pluto flowing trine in earth signs (6:08AM PST). Ride the style, fashion and elegance bandwagon for several hours during the monthly Moon-Juno union in Scorpio (10:22AM PST). This aspect can double as a cosmic agent that strengthens your emotional side. Strive for complete respect, harmony, peace and balance in affairs of the heart and every key relationship. The big news clocks in at 11:20PM PST when Mercury at 21 degrees of Sagittarius begins a three-week retrograde cycle that lasts until December 13. All Mercury themes – communication and transportation, language and learning skills, business and trade, health and medicine, dexterity, agility and the five senses, magic tricks and sleight-of-hand abilities, clever behavior, elusive tactics and theft – are emphasized tonight and over the next 24 to 48 hours. Be more cautious and careful concerning legal matters, signings and long-term commitments. As the dark-of-the-moon vibes also become potent – since the next New Moon (a Partial Solar Eclipse) happens tomorrow night – there are additional reasons to be a Rock of Gibraltar while millions of souls move along aimlessly. Giving you a late-night boost – on the business and investment fronts – is an inspirational, 72-degree link from Vesta to Jupiter (11:41PM PST).

Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, November 22nd
There is a rather tempestuous vibration happening not just today, but stretched over the next three days. The reason is that the Sun enters Sagittarius this morning (8:09AM PST), but Mercury is slowing down as it nears its three-week retrograde cycle (starting late tomorrow night), and a Partial Solar Eclipse will happen on Thursday night. In between this morning’s solar shift and Thursday evening’s solar-lunar union, we have a large number of solar, lunar and planetary interactions. Translation? There will be many ups and downs, favorable and unfavorable time-periods, and the need for a lot of adjustments during this 72-hour celestial roller-coaster ride. Today may hold a major key to interpersonal and business contentment as Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Saturn (12:20AM PST), the Moon in Libra unites with Saturn (9:44AM PST), and the Moon then forms a supportive, 60-degree connection with Venus (10:31AM PST). The Sun’s entry into Sagittarius (8:09AM PST) is also a step in the right direction as you can put greater emphasis on reaching long-sought literary and educational goals. In addition, enjoying the great outdoors and revving your engines in a favorite sport are recommended. Try not to diminish your productivity quotient when Ceres makes an abrasive, 45-degree link to Jupiter (10:24AM PST). You may be able to tweak this alignment into helping you forge more wholesome dietary and nutritional plans. Meanwhile, the Moon trines Neptune in air signs (3:05PM PST) – a lunar alignment that simultaneously starts a void uncertainty zone lasting until 5:59PM PST when the Moon enters Scorpio. Healing forces are back on center stage tonight as the Moon trines Chiron in water signs (7:08PM PST) while the Sun approaches a square to Chiron (becoming exact at 1:14AM PST tomorrow). Even though the Sun is going to square Chiron, the Sun will trine Uranus shortly afterwards. Therefore, the overnight energy-field is fairly potent and electrifying. Studies about ancient civilizations, ruins, oracles, pyramid power, numerology, astrology, and similar subjects can prove enlightening.
Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 10th
This is a good point in this calendar to remind you that celestial alignments and events on one day don’t necessarily disappear the day after. Therefore, yesterday’s Neptune station is very much a reality today as well. It is just that a powerful Full Moon (activating 19 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus at 12:17PM PST) and the direct station of Chiron at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST) are now the main astrological happenings spreading their influences throughout humanity. Individual and group meditations are advised in and around the time-period of the Full Moon. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to dear ones, friends, associates, and the kingdoms of nature. Since the Sun parallels Ceres (12:59PM PST) an extra note of nurturance and maternal care is being expressed throughout our social interactions. Meanwhile, the comet-like celestial body Chiron – that has been in retrograde motion since June 8 – stops from our vantage point and begins forward motion at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST). [Chiron stays forward until June 11, 2012 when it will shift into retrograde motion again at 10 degrees of Pisces.] All Chiron themes – the maverick, the wounded healer, the shaman, keys that open doors to higher consciousness, bridge-building between the spiritual and material planes, twilight zones of strange awareness, holistic healing and alternative medicine, herbalism and folk medicine, catalysts, shape-shifting and oracles – are reinforced throughout the day. Another major cosmic shift concerns Mars entering Virgo (8:16PM PST) for an extended stay until July 3, 2012 due to the red planet’s eventual retrograde cycle from January 23, 2012 to April 13, 2012. Mars in the sixth sign of the zodiac places an emphasis on being more organized, orderly in your approach to work and business, and striving to be an efficiency master at your residence or on the job.
New Moon Report for Nov. 10 – Chiron Direct
Chiron Direct
Thursday, November 10
The Wounded Healer’s shift into forward motion is a subtle influence that can slowly begin to externalize vulnerability. This isn’t about complaining and playing the victim; it’s a way of sharing feelings that encourages closeness and compassion without descending into self-pity.
Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, November 9th
Every month when the Moon unites with giant Jupiter (7:21AM PST), this specific lunar conjunction (right now in earthy Taurus) can represent the highlight of the day as well as the most important cosmic happening. Not so today. Some 3+ hours after this increase in euphoria and positive thinking, far-out Neptune at 29 degrees of Aquarius grabs center stage by ceasing its recent retrograde motion and making a direct station (10:55AM PST). [Neptune remains in forward motion until June 4, 2012 when it once again reverses gears at 4 degrees of Pisces.] While our modern calculations for planetary placements in the zodiac give out a precise time for the pausing in space of Neptune, the reality is that Neptune’s major themes are active all day long. When Neptune is positive in its influence, we are immersed in spiritual insights, revelatory dreams, astounding visions of the future or other dimensions of consciousness – plus marvelous explorations in the fine and graphic arts, music, dance, theater, poetry, film and photography. Neptune can also equate with activity in and around waterways, and regarding oceanic and sea life. On the shadow side, Neptune correlates with addictive behavior, feelings of martyrdom and sacrifice as well as a rising tide of confusion, chaos and uncertainty. The practicality and business-like approach of lunar Taurus goes against the grain of the bulk of Neptunian archetypes. Primary partnerships may receive a boost this evening as Juno in Scorpio makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Pluto in Capricorn (10:08PM PST). Be prepared for a new wave of inspiration seeking entrance into the minds of human souls as tomorrow brings a potent Full Moon (12:17PM PST on Thursday) and the direct station of Chiron in Pisces (3:15PM PST on Thursday).
Cosmic Calendar for November 7th
p worrying about things you cannot control. That’s one of the cosmic messages streaming into humanity as the red planet Mars in Leo forms a dicey opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (4:35AM PST). Not all opposition or polarity aspects are negative, but it is hard to sugar-coat this one and make it sound pleasant and user-friendly. First of all, these Mars-Neptune 180-degree link-ups only happen approximately every two years. Therefore, they are fairly rare and that makes them more potent. Generally speaking, sparks are flying in a wide variety of relationships. The partnerships can be romantic, business-oriented, friendships or simply new contacts. Nonetheless, Mars is bringing strong desires, passions and intensity into the picture while Neptune – striving for bliss and universal peace – is more likely to activate feelings of sacrifice and uncertainty. The combination usually winds up creating a mishmash of chaos in which interactions with others are more probably nebulous than sensitive and calm. You may still try to tweak this Mars-Neptune sky pattern into giving you added charisma and personal magnetism. Being more psychic and imaginative is another way to bypass the more discordant nature of this celestial tug-of-war. The late-evening vibrations are more conducive to experiencing improvement across the board since the Moon is approaching an upbeat, enthusiastic parallel to Jupiter (forming exactly at 1:39AM PST on Tuesday). Note: Start preparing for Neptune and Chiron direct stations on Wednesday November 9 and Thursday November 10 – including the Full Moon also on November 10.
Cosmic Calendar for October 24th
Here’s another start to a workweek that feels somewhat edgy and worrisome – even though there are bright spots that will be manifesting. During the void Moon in Virgo as the day begins, Mercury trines Ceres in water signs (5:10AM PDT) while the Sun trines Chiron in water signs (6:38AM PDT). These two favorable alignments should equate with a rise in overall productivity and a feeling that healing forces are back on the march. However, a void lunar uncertainty zone can sometimes weaken sky patterns that happen within its time-cycle. Once the clock strikes 8:50AM PDT, the Moon pulls out of the void vortex by entering airy Libra for the next two days. The goal now is to revisit the Solar Libra 30-day cycle that recently ended by continuing to improve your primary partnerships and striving to increase your arsenal of artistic skills. Mercury making an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (5:11PM PDT) is a major help in your becoming more adept at problem-solving and strategizing with trusted experts. Juno finally takes the plunge – leaving Libra for Scorpio (6:59PM PDT). This definitely adds weight to the passionate, mysterious and secretive undertones and overtones present within the Scorpio zodiacal frame of reference. [Juno remains in intensive Scorpio until January 29, 2012.] Creating one more shocking disturbance in the giant scheme of things is tonight’s Sun-Uranus 150-degree connection – bridging Scorpio and Aries at 11:00PM PDT. Here’s your choice – breakdown or breakthrough. Which way do you want to travel as Monday morphs into Tuesday?
Daily Horoscopes for September 21st
We take ourselves more seriously as the moody Cancer Moon forms stressful aspects with domineering Pluto, pleasant Venus and somber Saturn. By the end of the day we may feel as if we’ve been run through the wringer. An anxious quincunx from angry Mars to healing Chiron doesn’t help to soothe our worries. However, a quincunx from the Sun to nebulous Neptune can ameliorate a tense situation by dissipating intense emotions before any damage is done.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
If you’ve been withholding your feelings, it’s time to release them now that feisty Mars aspects wounded Chiron. Unfortunately, there may be a price to pay because you know more than you are willing to admit. Unexpressed emotions can stew until you lose your temper, so don’t keep secrets any longer than necessary. Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving others.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Although you may not enjoy being mad at others, you could feel on-edge today and some unsuspecting little thing might be enough to set you off. Naturally, your frustration can prompt angry words, but don’t let your thoughts slip out unconsciously. Pay attention and stop yourself from stirring up trouble. Be honest, but remember that blaming anyone else is entirely unnecessary and counterproductive.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may have to handle an urgent financial situation that you let go for too long. It could be as simple as processing a bank transaction or paying a bill. But it might require you to set aside time today to get ready for something later in the week. Luckily, your natural flexibility enables you to move through this minor crisis with ease.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Although you don’t want to place your feelings out in the open for everyone to see, you’re determined to take more of a risk now as headstrong Mars in your 2nd House of Core Beliefs aspects healing Chiron. Meanwhile, the Moon is back in your sign, empowering you to demonstrate your emotional intelligence; forfeit your personal agenda today so you can go along with the general consensus of the group.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Someone may be waiting for your support, but you could be annoyed that he or she isn’t forthright enough to just come out and ask for help. Remember, others might not be as willing to share their feelings as you are, yet there’s nothing to be gained by comparing yourself to your friends. It’s healthier to express any anger you are feeling as gently as possible, before it builds into something more complicated and becomes harder to manage.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your friends may come riding to the rescue now that the nurturing Cancer Moon is in your 11th House of Social Networking. Don’t be surprised if others defend your ideas or stand up for your integrity. You might think that everything is being blown out of proportion today, but it’s still healthy to protect yourself against someone’s attack. Don’t hesitate to demonstrate that you’re capable of owning your ideas and maintaining an unpopular position.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You won’t likely feel indecisive today, for there’s very little uncertainty in your thoughts and actions. You know exactly how you’re feeling now, but don’t necessarily want to share your emotions with anyone else, even if others are trying to coerce you into spilling the beans. Although you might prefer to be diplomatic, do whatever you must to set clear boundaries so you can maintain your sense of security.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Someone may think you’re being too intense today when you share your personal vision of the future. But the Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas squares radical Uranus, leaving you torn between following the rules and doing something totally off the wall. Although you’re probably leaning toward the expressive, rather than the suppressive, side of the equation, it’s still wise to withdraw for a while to give everyone some breathing room.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
It may come as a shock to a close friend or lover that you want to dig into the emotional underpinnings of your relationship today. Although this may be out of your normal comfort zone, you realize that understanding the current power dynamics is important now. You intuitively know that two opposing factions can be brought back together again through dialogue. Remember, temporarily loosening the reins of control could ultimately shift the advantage in your favor.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You’re not in the mood to listen to others whine about circumstances that are not within their individual control. The responsive Cancer Moon’s current visit to your 7th of Relationships encourages you to instruct people to accept their fate and then put their efforts toward something that truly matters. Unfortunately, some folks just don’t get the message and others don’t even seem to care. The truth is that once you have given your opinion, it’s up to everyone else to change their attitudes.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Following your intuition is your secret strategy today and it can transform you from an ordinary human being into a veritable superhero. Fortunately, you have the stamina now to make your dreams come true, so don’t give up. There’s no value in justifying your choices to everyone else. All the right words can only do so much; lead by example, instead.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Relationships seem complicated by issues you cannot quite grasp as you try to untangle your feelings from the pile. You may believe that you should be setting new boundaries, but you really don’t want to distance yourself from the value of working closely with others at this time. Although you might not feel like being very expressive today, don’t be afraid of telling others what’s on your mind. You might be pleasantly surprised by what happens next.
Your Daily Horoscopes for June 13
The Moon is in transformational Scorpio most of the day, reflecting our need to change even as we attempt to delve deeper into our current feelings. We’re reminded of old emotional wounds as loving Venus dynamically squares healing Chiron. Although we understand the importance of forgiveness, it’s not easy to let go of the past. However, the Moon moves into uplifting Sagittarius at 10:38 pm EDT, encouraging us to dream of the possibilities ahead.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It may be difficult to make your point today because you might be so serious that you scare someone away before you explain what’s on your mind. Once you realize what’s happening, you’re tempted to overcompensate and become so accommodating that you back away from even broaching the topic. Although you could feel pushed and pulled by the changing tides, it’s still possible to be effective. Take your time and think about what you’re going to say before you open your mouth.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
It has become more complicated to say something that may have been easier to share last week. Somehow, the current situation has changed so much that you could be feeling insecure about expressing your feelings. Although you might muster up the courage to finish a recent conversation, you’re quickly tempted to abandon your plans. There’s no need to overreact; take the additional time required to resolve a delicate relationship issue.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You might be looking forward to enjoying the company of a friend, but first there is that annoying problem of your job. You’re ready for a good time, yet it would be wise to treat your obligations seriously first. Once your work is done, you can create a bit of adventure in your personal life. Naturally, you could go off and do something by yourself, but the Moon’s shift into your 7th House of Companions indicates that you’d have much more fun being with others.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
A lazy morning sounds ideal to you today even if your job or school is beckoning. Unfortunately, circumstances probably won’t let you have the downtime you seek until late this evening or tomorrow. There are too many tasks on your agenda, preventing you from settling in at home. Thankfully, if you psych yourself up to meet your deadlines, you are able to have fun, even while doing your work.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may have family responsibilities that you cannot avoid today, but you could get a second wind later in the day and end up doing something special that you enjoy. If it’s been a struggle lately to express your feelings about a complicated domestic matter, you might finally find a way that works now. Your new positive attitude can lighten and brighten your evening. Don’t waste energy worrying about your upcoming deadlines; instead, use your optimism to motivate you to do your best.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you may try to focus on the tasks you must finish today, you’ll probably grow more distracted as the day unfolds. However, your ability to cleverly hide your scattered energy behind a smokescreen of productivity prevents others from seeing that you’ve temporarily lost your way. You know how much more you could accomplish if you concentrate now, so avoid disappointment by restating your intent and pulling yourself back onto the path.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Everything seems to take longer today because it’s difficult for you to shift into high gear. Even if you believe that many exciting experiences are waiting around the corner, you aren’t ready for them just yet. Fortunately, the energy picks up later in the day when the possibility of fun becomes a motivational factor. But don’t hesitate until it’s too late; plan for pleasure while there’s still enough time to make it happen.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You like the idea of slowing down the pace of your life, but turning your intentions into reality may require at least one more day. Still, it’s healthy to realize that whatever you are doing today may not be as urgent as it seems. Even if there’s a lot to accomplish, don’t wear yourself out. Schedule time to rest and relax over the next couple of days because you will need your energy later in the week.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You’re eager for tomorrow to arrive because the Moon’s current visit to your 12th House of Secrets makes it difficult for you to feel comfortable sharing your ideas. It may seem as if someone in particular is thwarting your progress, but the outer resistance is more likely a projection of your own uncertainty. Thankfully, your instincts are correct; this temporary condition will pass after your emotions play through their natural process.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You have enough common sense to recognize that one of your pet ideas may have finally run its course. One phase is coming to an end, yet it isn’t time to move on. Nevertheless, it can be helpful to visualize what your world might be like once your old assumptions fade. Remember, the power of your imagination is growing stronger now and could enable you to turn your dreams into something really special.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
A recent failure may still be preventing you from seeing the positive potential of unstable dynamics now at play in your life. Being afraid of what’s around the next corner could have a negative impact. Fortunately, you are at a turning point and can gain a lot by facing your insecurities. Overcoming anxiety based on your past enables you to create your future. Transforming fear into hope is a sensible strategy whenever possible.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may need to handle more responsibility this week than you want. You would prefer to wander aimlessly and explore which dreams to follow now. Nevertheless, others are looking to you for inspiration and you don’t want to let them down. Instead of worrying about what could possibly go wrong, concentrate on doing the greatest good. Don’t be overly concerned with the details; just keep your mind set on your destination.
Daily Horoscopes for 2/19
General Daily Horoscope
The Sun’s first full day in sensitive Pisces can heighten our extrasensory perception, and the Sun’s annual conjunction with healer Chiron is exact today, increasing our intuitive awareness of other people’s pain. Although the discriminating Virgo Moon usually helps us focus our attention on what’s most useful, she now has an agenda of her own as she forms six otherworldly septiles that put us in touch with otherwise elusive spiritual truths.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may imagine yourself to be as unrestrained as a soaring eagle today, but your responsibilities don’t leave you enough freedom to actually take a flight of fancy. Even if you think you know the escape route, it’s still complicated to make your first move. This is frustrating because you are usually skilled at starting something new. Don’t judge yourself harshly for not following through on your feelings. For now, doing the best you can is good enough.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You might feel as if satisfaction is a long way off now because your key planet Venus is still squaring somber Saturn today. You may be exhausted from a very intense interaction at work with someone who makes you anxious. However, facing your fears is one way to push beyond the comfortable boundaries. Communication is challenging, yet the potential for transformation can bring you closer to your relationship goals.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your feelings can push and pull you all over the emotional landscape today, making it nearly impossible to know what to do. It’s not that you’re wishy-washy; it’s just hard to make a final decision when staying open to all the possibilities sounds better. One moment you’re eager to cash in your chips and walk away. The next moment you’re working hard trying to figure out how to save everything. An all-or-nothing answer is not acceptable when there is so much middle ground yet to explore.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may have something very important to learn today if a close friend stands in the way of your progress. Unfortunately, your first impulse may be to turn a minor confrontation into a major fight. But you don’t need to prove that you’re better than anyone else. Instead, shift your attitude so you can minimize your own resistance, show your vulnerability and be more receptive of other people’s feedback.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Everything may seem more complicated than necessary today, yet you cannot simplify your life to reduce your current stress. The complexity arises from your heart desiring something that you just don’t know how to get. Holding firm to your goals now is a smart strategy that should ultimately pay off, but you’ll need to show some flexibility along the way.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You want to get ahead at work, but might not have the patience now that is required to succeed. You may feel frustrated because your job would be much easier without all the needless distractions from your personal life. Unfortunately, your friends and family aren’t as supportive as you wish. Don’t be afraid to set clear boundaries or withdraw from others in order to maintain your integrity.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may feel stuck today, as if your creativity is temporarily blocked. Your regular routine could fall apart now, making it impossible for you to concentrate on realizing your dreams. However, don’t sell yourself short by thinking that you can’t do the miraculous. You are more capable than you realize, but you must have faith and patience for positive results to manifest.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You must decide if you can keep up social appearances today and still remain true to yourself. But your current choices aren’t as crucial as they seem because they are part of a long-term process that can redefine the structure of your relationships. Your key planets, physical Mars and passionate Pluto, are intensifying your feelings as the boundary between friendship and romantic love is tested. There are no wrong decisions now; just be clear about your overall direction.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Someone might give you a hard time about taking yourself too seriously today. Nevertheless, there is a lot going on now. You don’t like it when others disagree with you for no apparent reason other than spreading ill will, but it may be your own frustrations that are creating the bulk of the current stress. At least make sure that you continue to meet your obligations at home, even if you’re still sorting out how to handle everything else.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may not be very happy if someone close to you wants something from you that you cannot deliver now. Unfortunately, these demands can precipitate a power struggle that won’t likely have a winner because of interpersonal complications. Don’t waste your energy trying to fix an irresolvable situation, instead change the rules of the game. It’s not a competition; if anyone is a loser, then no one wins.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Although you might want to shake up the status quo today, you won’t be successful unless you acknowledge the current limitations that are part of your life. Fortunately, circumstances won’t remain like this forever, even if you can’t see a path that will take you to your destination. Trying too hard now only pushes your goal further away. Paradoxically, relaxing your grip on the future may be the best way to make sure that you get there on time.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are tired of learning hard lessons today and may rebel just to stretch your muscles. You are tempted to stir conflict by questioning an authority figure if one appears to be too rigid in his or her approach. Examine your own role in fomenting the current tension. When you stop projecting your internal battles onto others, relationships will become much easier to manage.
