Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 30th

Aries

This can be a good day for progress or idea-generating when it comes to creative matters or a romance, dear Aries. You are more able to express yourself in subtle ways, to feel in touch with what’s inside, and to convey your inner world or message easily. Words may not be quite as effective as body language and actions today. Activities that feed your imagination and sense of magic can thrive now. Inspiration may come from a private moment with someone, or from within. The pipeline to your inner world is open today, so take the opportunity to get to know yourself better. Consciously look for those things that feed your faith today for best results. Try not to get angry at yourself if you’re feeling passive, as much can be accomplished in the mind and heart now.

Taurus

This is a good day for helping friends or a partner, dear Taurus, whether this is in tangible or intangible ways. It can be in the form of simply being there, talking through problems, gentle advice giving, or physical help. It can be a nice time for surrounding yourself with people who are accepting or share your own ideals. Like minds tend to gravitate towards one another today. It’s also a fine time for creative thinking, writing, and conversations about dreams, spiritual or philosophical subjects, as well as fanciful musing. Intuition is strong. You could be actively seeking out solutions to problems, and they’re bound to be unusual and creative now, as you’re tuned in to layers and levels of situation that you might miss on a busy day. A partner becomes a friend, or friend and a partner mix wonderfully now. The day is more about accepting and enjoying people than making big moves.

Gemini

This is a good time for healing and repairing efforts, dear Gemini, particularly if you back up and let others be themselves, but also show that you’re supportive. You might have the opportunity to add some creative flair to your work, and ideas for marketing or promotion can be wonderful and inspired now. Some of you could be looking for a “calling” in terms of work, and the services you provide now can be inspiring. A sense of mission or purpose is with you today when it comes to business and possibly self-care and health efforts. Projects seem to come together magically. Feeling connected to something higher than the material lifts your spirits. This is the time to conserve your energy, not to waste it. If you’re looking for more from your routine, imagine improvements you can make. Today is strong for dreaming and connecting with your ideals.

Cancer

Warm energy is with you today for love, affection, and acceptance, dear Cancer. Your personal magnetism is subtly enhanced, and your gentle manner is especially appreciated. Creative efforts tend to be rewarding. Sharing a dream, ideal, or belief with someone can enhance your bond. Love relationships can flourish now, and it’s not about pressure for commitment or pressure to do or say anything. Instead, going with the flow, listening, and opening yourself up to others are the key ingredients now, particularly if they have been missing a little recently. You’re more able to connect with the things that feed your spirit today. A busy life can sometimes separate us from soul-nourishing needs, and it’s time to reconnect. The Moon in your privacy sector all day also serves as a reminder to focus on emotional renewal.

Leo

This is a day for accessing your imagination and creativity fairly easily, dear Leo. Logic and intuition pair up wonderfully now, and this can help you understand yourself and others better. Feelings and actions tend to fall into place, and a gentle and perhaps slightly mysterious approach to the world today becomes you. Matters related to real estate, family, and the home tend to come together, and relationships with family or an intimate partner can be inspiring or subtly enhanced today. This is not the time for making big commitments or for overthinking – it’s a time for accessing inner faith and showing your acceptance of the people in your life. It’s also good for forgiving or understanding someone or possibly a past relationship in order to better put a grievance behind you – do it for yourself. Let things unfold without force or pressure today. On a practical level, money hunches may be worth following.

Virgo

A strong day for communications and partnerships is in store for you, dear Virgo. You may find an opportunity to support someone who needs your help either mentally, physically, or spiritually. You could enjoy a pleasing attraction or find someone especially fascinating. Your own charm expands, particularly in the way you communicate or get your message across. Connections with others can be enhanced through a nice gesture or other form of reaching out. Try to allow your ideas to flow instead of trying to force them. You have much that you’d like to accomplish now, but it’s important to let things flow now in order to better access your intuition and imagination. Recognize your needs for some romance, subtlety, gentleness, and spirituality today for best results. Repair relationships with a gentle touch, concern, and care.

Libra

This is a strong day for paying more attention to your imagination and intuition, following a hunch, and tuning in to your needs to serve, help, and give back, dear Libra. On a practical level, instincts for money and methods are good, even if you’re not seeing all the facts clearly. Developing faith in your intuition as well as your natural talents comes more easily now. There is strong energy for design with you today. You might want to focus on activities that let loose your more compassionate side. Doing things for the inner rewards will feed you well now. You might find activities that soothe and relax you particularly beneficial. When it comes to practical matters, taking a step back from a problem can help your intuition to kick in. While you could feel some pressure from others, try not to succumb to it. The Moon is in your adventure sector all day, reinforcing the need for non-routine, spirited experiences.

Scorpio

Today’s energies are good for tuning in to your imagination and sharing your ideas and your warmth with others, dear Scorpio. You are coming across pleasingly and eloquently at times today, and your creative instincts are on point. Adding special creative flair to whatever you’re doing now is natural. There can be some psychic phenomena experienced now, as your hunches tend to be well-developed, particularly if you avoid succumbing to pressures to perform. You are likely to be feeling spiritually strengthened and well, and the world around you are likely to enjoy and appreciate your manner and attention. Helping others can fill a need. Take note of your dreams and ideas today, as they may very well take shape going forward. This is also a fine time for enhancing your manner or image in some manner. Like-minded people will make their way to you.

Sagittarius

This is a favorable day for honoring your need to dream, wonder, and imagine, dear Sagittarius. Forgiving leads to healing, so aim to take care of yourself mentally and emotionally – your body counts, of course, but you need to feed your spirit as well. Your thoughts can be turning to matters of the past, hidden things, or mysteries. The need to find comfort in familiar situations and with family or close loved ones is real and strong now. Connect in compassionate ways, through gestures that show where your heart is, and that you care. Conversations should focus on acceptance. If you can manage quiet time, comforting activities, and rejuvenating endeavors, do so. The rewards will be great. Helping others out can also fill a need and lift your spirits. The Moon is in your partnership sector all day, suggesting that reaching out to others can be helpful.

Capricorn

This can be a strong day for connecting socially, dear Capricorn, as well as for work that engages your imagination. You are looking for inspiration now, and you’re likely to find it. With the Sun and Neptune harmonizing today, you would do well to set aside personal agendas and reach out to others. It’s a good day for overlooking differences, forgiving, accepting, and supporting. It’s also a fine time for team work and giving back to friends and family. Humanitarian efforts and gestures can be rewarding. This is also a good time for entertaining a new dream or plan, or for reviving an old one. Some of you could be feeling particularly poetic and expressive. Good energy is with you for accessing your imagination and applying it to your work, projects, and communications.

Aquarius

Work and practical projects seem to come together almost without effort today, dear Aquarius, if you allow yourself to step back from problems and let your intuition engage. Instincts for money and business are good. There can be some feeling of pressure to perform or to get things done quickly, but your best bet now is to allow things to flow more naturally. Others may be appreciating the talents that come most naturally to you, and you can make an inspirational leader, guide, or manager now. Alternatively, someone in authority or in the position to help you advance your goals can be supportive. Activities and mantras that build your faith in yourself and in the universe can help and succeed now. Others are likely to return the faith. Long-term goals can be elusive at times, but today you may very well be able to envision where you’d like to head.

Pisces

With Neptune in your sign, dear Pisces, there can be times when you struggle with understanding your personal goals and identity, feeling as if you don’t have a clear tether. However, today’s Sun-Neptune influence can help you to feel connected. Ideas flow nicely now, and you could feel especially inspired by a new interest, topic, or idea. You are especially attracted to activities that feed your spirit and mind, and that take you away from immediate concerns at least for the time being. The desire to learn more about the world around you and other people is strong today, and you tend to attract experiences that broaden your thinking and your experience. Your personal appeal is magnetic now, and like-minded people can be drawn to you. Helping others brings you closer to yourself and lifts your spirits.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, October 26th

Aries

While your emotional nature is certainly in focus with the Moon in your sign all day, dear Aries, there is practical opportunity as well. You may be drawing on the past, such as on tradition or your own set of skills, knowledge, and wisdom, in order to further an ambition, goal, or business endeavor. This is also a good day for working with or for family and home life, making improvements, bringing more order to the equation, and bonding with people you love as well. Think in terms of the longer view now, and consider ways to improve inner needs and family life, or security in general. You’re likely to come up with clever ideas. The Moon is building towards Full, with a Full Moon occurring tomorrow morning in your talents and resources sector. This can mark a turning point with money, business, and practical affairs.

Taurus

The need for emotional replenishment is strong today, dear Taurus, with the Moon in the sign just behind yours all day. We are building towards a Full Moon in Taurus, exact tomorrow morning, and personal needs are coming into strong focus. An epiphany may be occurring. Today, there is good energy for working on a cherished dream, and some of you could be returning to an old project and putting your efforts into that. The focus now is on balance and security. People in your life may be a little more supportive than usual, or willing to pitch in. There is good energy for teamwork or simple connections with friends that boost your confidence or sense of belonging.

Gemini

This is a good time for applying yourself to a career goal or pet project, dear Gemini. You’ll find that you have the support of others right now, particularly those in authority or in a position to advance your interests. While there can be some impatience to combat today, for the most part you have a handle on practical matters. Build upon recent progress rather than making huge changes, but entertain the unusual as well. We are building up to a Full Moon, which will occur tomorrow morning. For you, it can be a strong reminder of your need for rest, reflection, and attention to emotional or spiritual needs. Pay attention to any signal that you can do with extra time to yourself or a break from the harsher elements of daily routines.

Cancer

This is a good day for attending to your personal life and career matters with equal success, dear Cancer. Balance is not always easy to achieve, but you are feeling quite competent and ready to take on a challenge now. Focus is on growth and productivity, but you’re not expecting immediate, dramatic results for your efforts, which makes it easier to get things right and exercise the necessary patience to do so. This is a good time for a partner or admirer to notice and appreciate your loyalty and steadfastness. You are especially concerned with helping, supporting, and caring for the important people in your life now. We are building towards a Full Moon that will occur tomorrow morning in your social sector. This brings animation or an epiphany to your social life. You can be in demand now.

Leo

While the Moon is encouraging you to break the routine in some way today, dear Leo, so that you’ll expand your mind and experiences, it’s also a strong day for nurturing a project, developing skills, or furthering your education. Research of a healing method or health matter can be especially successful right now. You could be going back to an old project or idea and giving new life to it, and you’re likely to find that those close to you are either supporting your efforts or stepping out of the way so that you can pursue your interests without distraction. The Moon is reaching Full, exact tomorrow morning, and your attention turns to a career matter. You could find yourself in the spotlight or asked to take the lead.

Virgo

You are a stabilizing force for people in your life today, dear Virgo, or at least aim to be. Your dedication to others is strong now, even if this is also a strong time for personal plans and goals. While there may be some impatience felt this morning, and possibly nerves surrounding money or ownership matters, as the day advances, you can feel clearer and steadier. We are building towards a Full Moon, which tends to heighten emotions, but this one is a little lighter on you, making it easier for the clarity it brings to inspire you rather than overstimulate you. You are seeking out more order in addition to progress in your life, and you feel quite capable of achieving this now.

Libra

While there is some likelihood of tension this morning, particularly surrounding ideas and opinions, dear Libra, as the day advances, there are clear opportunities to stabilize your life in effective ways, particularly related to family and work. There can be some unfinished business that you’re attending to now, and you’re taking on family responsibility quite willingly. In fact, caring for others can make you feel stronger. We are building towards a Full Moon that is exact tomorrow morning. This lunation occurs in your solar eighth house, bringing out your need for support. So, while you are busy taking care of practical matters today, you are also likely to feel a growing need for emotional support from others. For some, this is about a discovery of feelings that can no longer be contained.

Scorpio

You can be highly motivated to write, create, or work on a pet project today, dear Scorpio. While the morning’s energies are a little distracting, much of today is good for focus. You are likely to feel more satisfied if you are a steadying force to people around you, and this is, in fact, a big ingredient to your appeal today as well. The Moon is building towards Full today, however, and this can bring about an epiphany about your feelings or a relationship. Tomorrow morning’s Full Moon occurs in your partnership sector, and this can be an important time for bringing more balance to your life, particularly by paying more attention to a partner or relationship.

Sagittarius

While the Moon encourages you to express your bolder nature today, dear Sagittarius, much of the day favors clarity of purpose and self-discipline, particularly when it comes to projects or activities that help you to feel more secure, supported, and supportive. You are willing to take small steps towards these things, and feel good about doing so. It’s a strong day for review of finances or organizing efforts around the home. You are dedicated and determined right now, so take advantage! The Moon is reaching Full, exact tomorrow morning. This Full Moon occurs in your sector of health, habits, and work, illuminating a matter surrounding any of these things. It can be a strong motivator and reminder about taking good care of your daily routines.

Capricorn

There can be some moodiness this morning, dear Capricorn, particularly if you feel others are misunderstanding or not listening well to your message. However, the day moves forward with strong energy for pouring yourself into something worthwhile and interesting. You have quite a bit of self-discipline and focus now, and you could be applying this to a particular project or to make improvements to personal and physical goals that increase your sense of well-being. It’s a good time for making lifestyle changes that benefit you. You might be feeling quite content on your own or with your own companionship now, and this gives you an opportunity to regroup.

Aquarius

While there can be quite a bit of emotional energy today, dear Aquarius, you might also find that you’re motivated to get down to business, drawing upon patience and a sense that you’re slowly but surely getting your life into better order. Others might take note of your responsible approach now. There can be a nice feeling of comfort derived from getting back to basics and focusing on priorities. You are tuned into your own inner guidance and intuition now, and this helps you to trust yourself and your instincts better. The Moon is moving towards Full, exact tomorrow morning, and this can bring a stronger need to pay attention to home and family needs.

Pisces

You may be returning to a project in order to renew it or tie up loose ends now, dear Pisces. You are attracted to quiet or solo activities today, and you could find that you’re a little more patient and invested in your future than usual, so that you might take on activities that promote steadiness and balance or security in your life going forward. Giving a project or person your undivided attention can feel good now. Your own knowledge or wisdom can be of comfort to a friend or family member now. The Moon is moving towards Full, exact tomorrow morning, and this can bring about a busier pace to your life, so it’s especially wise to regroup or take time for the things that truly matter.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 22nd

Aries

The day’s energies are complex, dear Aries. There is intensity in our interactions, but whether this is experienced as pleasant or unpleasant (or both) is really up to how we handle ourselves today. Unnecessary tension may be generated if we can’t move past a particular problem or issue, unless, of course, we remain detached enough to enjoy the researching process. Try your best to get over attitudes or thought patterns that are too negative to do you any good. It’s important today to see the areas of your life that are draining you of energy so that you can focus on simplifying. There has to be a better balance in terms of where you put your energies – into yourself and your personal pursuits and into others. Aim for more understanding but don’t push this process.

Taurus

Your intuition can work well for you today, dear Taurus, but it’s important to avoid going too far with analyses to the point of obsessive thinking, which can lead you astray and in fact far away from your natural instincts. Emotionally-driven decisions made now may be regrettable later. If you’ve been putting too much into your relationships to the point that you’re losing yourself in others, then you need to come to a point of balance. Demonstrate your faith and confidence in others rather than looking for problems. Don’t get caught up in others’ mind games, however, which are no-win. You may be looking for more to life than the usual, and this can lead to important experiences, but could also cause some ripples if you’re not sure where to channel excess energy.

Gemini

There is provocative energy to the day, dear Gemini, and this can give rise to complicated situations. There could be the re-emergence of a past problem that hangs heavy in your aura. You could be seeking out intense experiences, and this can work out fine if you are self-aware and know what you’re after, but could be a little chaotic if you’re not sure where to begin or what you want. Protect your most cherished relationships from misunderstandings, suspicion, or regrettable, harsh words. Activities involving career and reputation matters may be emotionally charged. Romantic relationships may require more attention, time, or energy, but could also reach a new level. Judgment about money or love may be exaggerated or otherwise skewed, just for now, but this doesn’t mean you don’t have something to learn about your desires. In fact, you’re likely to end the day with important new insights. Circumstances align in such a way that they show you the things that are most important and essential.

Cancer

People can be a little more sensitive in their interactions today, dear Cancer, and perhaps a little provocative in an attempt to seek answers or question commitment. With respect for one another, of course, there can be wonderful new insights gained now, but it can be difficult if either party is stubbornly seeing only their point of view. While you don’t need to put your ideas on hold, you may need to refine them before pushing forward. Domestic chores or problems in the family dynamic can weigh heavily on your mind now. Try not to think in extremes, as worries can be exaggerated with this frame of mind. Take extra care in conversations, and this can be a wonderful time to discover new things about someone you love. Focus on listening rather than telling or asking. Good energy is with you for breaking new ground in a project or learning endeavor.

Leo

There is a somewhat charged energy to the day, dear Leo, and while this can go either way and possibly both ways, you are likely to be able to turn it around to your advantage. Most importantly, try to avoid pushing an idea or pushing for an answer from someone. As well, avoid succumbing to pressures to get too much done in too little time. Others, and possibly you as well, can be demanding far too much from you now. News or information coming in may be touching a nerve or triggering fears, but there is a tendency to worry more than is necessary, as exaggeration is a strong possibility now. Focus on what needs refining or rehauling, and you’ll do especially well now. Channel intensity into a productive project. This is a time for building and encouraging a sense of purpose by setting goals and drawing up plans to meet them. If you need to pare down, this is a good time to do so, or to become aware that this is necessary and useful.

Virgo

There can be a tendency to dwell on problem areas or to worry today, dear Virgo, and this is particularly the case regarding money and relationships. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by attempting to manipulate people or circumstances, as true power comes from handling your own feelings and energy effectively. Tricky territory today is found in points of extremes or exaggeration. Try to apply the rule of moderation in your life, not only in activities but in your thinking as well. Try not to agonize over making a decision that needs more time to unfold, and don’t attempt to force an issue just because you can’t get it out of your mind. Personal magnetism is strong today, and your ability to focus is excellent if you are able to put the worrying away. Be sure to reach out to others, as relationships can reach a nice new level now with attention and focus.

Libra

If you can’t quite settle on a decision that feels right in your gut today, dear Libra, then set it aside without guilt, if this is possible. If you can return to the issue at a later date, this may be best, simply because we have a tendency to feel overwhelmed by, or to exaggerate, problems and fears right now. You may need to tread lightly in conversations with others today, but there is also good energy for getting to a better understanding of people and situations that you may not want to pass up. If you need to prune, weed, or otherwise eliminate excess in an area of life, now would be a good time to do so, simply because you are more aware of what is, and isn’t, essential and worthwhile to you at this point in your life. Try not to rush decisions or to speak of a matter prematurely. Family matters can thrive today with more focus and attention.

Scorpio

Today’s energies are complicated, dear Scorpio, with your ruler, Pluto, forming strong aspects, both challenging and flowing in nature. On the one hand, you could be thinking a little too much to the point that you no longer see a situation objectively. Avoid letting fears enter the equation. There are stronger ego needs now, which of course can lead to some trouble if timing is off. Show others your better traits, and the feedback you receive will be satisfying. In fact, there is good energy for connecting, negotiating, and getting closer to someone you care about. Your own personal magnetism is strong. Focus on attracting the things you need and want to you rather than pushing to get what you want.

Sagittarius

There can be some intensity in conversations and interactions today, dear Sagittarius, and while you enjoy passionate exchanges, these may border on intrusive at times now. Sidestep situations that look like they’re leading to power games. You’re not in any mood to be told what to think. You may feel that you have a little less energy, and it can be completely unrelated to physical issues – it is more likely to do with a temporary feeling of being blocked creatively or stuck in a rut. A dry spell is temporary and you should avoid allowing it to interfere with your productivity. Take the time to rethink plans if need be, but don’t make big changes just yet. Focusing on one thing at a time, and prioritizing, will serve you the best right now, as difficult as it may seem today.

Capricorn

There can be intensity to conversations today, dear Capricorn, which can range from passionate to annoying or invasive. Avoid putting pressure on yourself and others to come to a definite conclusion or position. Channel excess energy positively by working passionately on a pet project or throwing yourself into absorbing entertainment or research. With the personal impact you’re making, choose your words carefully. Watch for opportunities emerging to express yourself in new and unique ways, particularly related to publishing or connecting. News or information emerging now can turn your attention to a new interest or direction. Avoid impulsive moves. Your personal appeal is very strong now – use this extra influence positively!

Aquarius

It’s wise to think strategically today, dear Aquarius, but avoid overthinking. Be as moderate in your thinking as possible, as we tend to get into trouble today if we take things too far. There can certainly be things to learn from your interactions now, but a lot of frustration can be avoided if we aim to avoid thinking in extremes, as that is when fear misguides us. Find ways to simplify your life, particularly on a mental plane, by cutting out those things that are leaving you feeling overwhelmed. There may be tricky power dynamics with others now, but if handled well, there is simply a more deeply creative energy to your interactions. Channel your energy into something productive and empowering rather than for obsessing over something that can’t be changed.

Pisces

With the Moon in your privacy and soul sector again today, dear Pisces, taking extra time for reflection or rest is important. There can be some tension surrounding a predicament or problem today, or you could have a hard time putting something out of your mind and productivity suffers a little as a result. While it can be difficult to move past an issue that is bothering you, it would be wise to find ways to channel excess mental energy into something more useful. Difficulties are temporary, and keeping your sights set on higher goals can help you out right now. Include the people you trust in your plans now, and focus on brainstorming and teamwork for best results.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 8th

Aries

Venus enters your work and health sector today, dear Aries, and will transit this area of your chart until November 8th (for the coming month). While Venus moves out of a harmonious position vis a vis your sign, this is a very useful cycle for bringing harmony to your daily life, including your working environment. The urge to restore balance to working relationships and order or beauty to your daily routines and environment is strong now. This can also be a time of increased social opportunities through your work or through your daily routines, or while pursuing health goals. It might be a good time for partnering up to get work done or to pursue fitness programs with Venus and Mars in this sector of your chart, and eventually aligning, as well as for meeting friends or even a lover who has similar goals or work.

Taurus

After an extended stay in your solar fourth house, dear Taurus, Venus (your ruler) moves into harmony with your sign. The sector of home and family is a very introspective, even self-protective, sector, and this may have kept you a little more withdrawn or quiet than usual. Now and until November 8th, Venus transits your fun, playful, and creative solar fifth house. You are now more willing to take some personal risks with your heart, personality, and creativity. You can be a little flirty now, and it’s a time when your natural charm comes shining through for all to see. While today is good for personal magnetism, keep in mind that Mercury is coming to a station tomorrow, and as the shift occurs, there may be some miscommunications to deal with.

Gemini

Venus has spent an unusual amount of time in your communications sector, dear Gemini, and today enters your home and family sector, where it will transit until November 8th. During this cycle, you are a little more protective with your heart, tending to cling to the familiar and secure rather than venturing out into the world with your heart on your sleeve. Some hesitancy and caution when it comes to love, the pursuit of pleasure, and money is normal with this cycle. This can be a good time for bringing more harmony, comfort, or beauty to your home, and more peace or loving expressions with family members. Real estate matters could be favorable now.

Cancer

The goddess of love enters your communications sector today, dear Cancer, increasing your need and ability to share your thoughts and feelings with someone special. Venus will stay in this sector of your chart for one month, until November 8th. You’re coming out of a lengthy Venus cycle that emphasized stability and security in your social and love relationships, so this new cycle can be a real change, as you’re more sociable, curious, and chatty. During this cycle, you are especially curious about others and particularly interested in sharing your daily activities with others. You are also likely bringing more charm and diplomacy to your communications. With Mars already here in this sector, Venus’ presence helps add layers to your charm, particularly through conversations. However, keep in mind that as Mercury moves to its direct station, exact tomorrow, there can be some miscommunications to deal with before things straighten out.

Leo

Venus leaves your sign today after an extended stay, Leo, and while the next step may not seem as glamorous, it’s a natural progression and a solid one. You’ve received more than usual attention, and you’ve been pampering yourself as well with Venus in your sign. Now that the attention turns away from you and your ego needs, you’re in a better position to enjoy yourself without self-consciousness. Focus is on building your resources now. Love is more about security and comfort in the coming month. Affections stabilize during this cycle, and you begin to value simpler pleasures. Getting along well with others can be one way to boost your business or income, and relationships already in place can benefit from steadier energy. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than new experiences in love at this time.

Virgo

Venus has been spending an unusually long time in the sign just behind yours, dear Virgo. This has allowed you all kinds of time and opportunities to go over your emotional and romantic past with a fine-toothed comb, to put an end to attitudes and possibly relationships that truly do belong in the past, and to nurse some old hurts before gathering the strength to move forward. This morning, Venus enters your sign and love will begin to move forward, ready or not! You become more expressive and certain of your affections, and people around you in a general sense are appreciating the very style and personality traits that you express naturally. This month-long cycle puts the focus on pleasure and affection in your life. With Mars already in your sign, Venus helps to soften your manner and bring you more positive attention. The Moon moves out of your privacy sector and into your sign this afternoon, and you can be feeling especially in need of a connection to the world around you.

Libra

Venus enters your privacy and soul sector today, dear Libra, and will continue transiting this house of your solar chart until November 8th. This cycle brings a little more mystery to your love life, feelings, and affections. It’s a time for releasing old or outdated attitudes and clearing space for new experiences and feelings to enter your life. You are not as clear when it comes to openly expressing your love, as you need time to get in better touch with your own feelings during this period of your life. There can be a greater love of private moments with a partner or secret admirers. For some of you, a need or necessity to give of yourself unselfishly emerges. You may be a little more tentative than usual about feelings and even purchases during this cycle. The Moon moving into line with Venus today emphasizes a need for some level of withdrawal or emotional renewal, and possibly a nice connection with the past.

Scorpio

Venus has been spending a longer than usual time in your career and reputation sector, dear Scorpio, and this has given you a chance to realign your goals and to soften or enhance your reputation, although there has been some hiccups along the way. This morning, with Venus’ movement into Aquarius and into a position that subtly enhances your natural style, likability, and powers of attraction. It’s an easier cycle for Venus overall, and Venus will continue to work her magic through to November 8th. Equality and fairness are more important themes in your relationships during this cycle. Giving yourself and others freedom and emotional space is also important, as well as downplaying ego needs. Teamwork is favored, and friendships can get a nice boost.

Sagittarius

Venus is just ending an extended stay in your adventure sector, Sagittarius, and you may have experienced a stronger love of learning and sharing. Now Venus enters your career and reputation sector at that the top of your solar chart. This time, her visit approaches her normal cycle length, and extends to November 8th. This is a strong period for bringing an easier manner to your professional or public dealings, particularly as you’ve experienced assertive Mars here and now you benefit from the added charm of Venus here as well. Social opportunities can emerge through your business or professional dealings, or you could be employing more diplomacy and people skills in the work you do. You also tend to be a little more concerned about your image at this time. Latent social ambitions can emerge. There can be more success in creative pursuits during this cycle.

Capricorn

Venus has spent an unusually long time in the sign of Leo, dear Capricorn, and your solar eighth house. Planets transiting the eighth tend to operate as if they are undercover, and you’ve been spending a fair amount of time observing, remembering, intuiting, and analyzing your feelings. However, today, Venus moves on, into your solar ninth house, and in many ways, your romantic life is likely to feel as if it’s emerging into the light. Now and until November 8th, you’re more likely to express or act upon your feelings. This position of Venus tends to highlight and enhance your naturally attractive qualities. This cycle brings a more outgoing, adventurous attitude to your love life, and this can also play out in terms of the type of entertainment and playful experiences you’re attracted to, and the art or decorations that draw you in. You have a spirited attitude now. Today, with the Moon moving out of your eighth and into the ninth house as well, you’re likely to feel more outgoing as the day moves forward.

Aquarius

Venus has spent an unusually long time in your partnership zone and opposing sign, dear Aquarius, and there’s been a very strong focus on relating, mediating, negotiating, and generally getting a long with others. Today, Venus enters another relationship zone, the solar eighth house, but this sector runs a little deeper. It’s a favorable time for working on the more complicated or intricate areas of relationships, sharing, and intimacy. It’s also strong for getting to understand your own deeper side as well as your innermost desires and motivations. Financially speaking, you may find backing or support, and you are more reasonable with regards to working out agreements. Your love nature runs a little deeper during this cycle that lasts until November 8th.

Pisces

Venus had an extended stay in your work and health sector, dear Pisces, and is only now moving out of it and into your partnership sector. There has been a rather strong focus on daily affairs and routines, work, work relationships, and matters of health. You may have had some opportunities to smooth over relations with co-workers, or to find a better balance in your daily routines and habits. However, wasn’t a very glamorous area of your chart for Venus, the goddess of love, to function at her best. This morning, Venus begins a month-long cycle transiting your relationship sector, and this can go a long way towards enhancing your social life and one-to-one relationships. It’s a strong cycle for attracting and enhancing close relationships. Your manner is conciliatory, open, reasonable, and respectful of others’ needs and agendas, and these qualities are very appealing to others now.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow,

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, October 4th

Aries

It can be a little difficult to find peace with too much to do and not knowing where to begin, dear Aries. Expressing feelings impatiently can be an issue at times today. You don’t feel very comfortable in the state of indecision, but sometimes it’s better to wait. The need to detach yourself from mainstream activities is a real need today. Personal time is important to you now, but perhaps a little difficult to achieve. However, it’s important to restore balance to your life by paying home and family their due attention.

Taurus

Some restlessness can be felt today, dear Taurus, particularly if you need to pay special attention to details or if you are facing a deadline. It can be a little difficult to concentrate or to settle your mind today. This is a good day for social conversations, however. Love relationships, friendships, and relationships with kids can open up if you are able to let go of the minor stress in your practical world. You may be putting effort and energy into helping others, or you could be enjoying activities related to hobbies and the home now.

Gemini

Today is a good day for seeking out comforting activities, dear Gemini. The Quarter Moon late afternoon may stimulate some restlessness, but the trick is to do something productive and deal with any emerging problems directly and promptly. Watch out for impulsive spending or acting on whims that you sense are not good for you. In the coming days, you might be in a better position to reassess financial matters, although final decisions should probably wait until after Mercury turns direct on the 9th.

Cancer

The Moon moves through your sign all day, dear Cancer, and your personal needs are on the front burner. It’s a time for taking care of emotional needs that have been put aside or left unattended. There could be a conflict with family today, or conflicting feelings about whether to do your own thing or tend to others’ needs. Tensions today can stimulate a clearing of the air, however, so be sure not to back away from a challenge. Assert your need to pursue personal goals and activities if necessary.

Leo

The Moon transits your privacy sector all day, dear Leo, and this can be an important signal to focus on nurturing your mental and emotional health. It’s a time for replenishing and renewing yourself on an emotional level through some form of retreat from the more competitive or harsher side of daily life. This doesn’t mean inactivity, and in fact, the Moon connects with energetic Mars in your resources sector today, encouraging some level of busy-ness. Certainly you have a strong drive to work, learn, and connect these days, and this is present today as well, but it’s equally important that you pay attention to emotional needs in order to restore some balance to your life.

Virgo

A stronger drive to grow, try something different or alternative, and to connect with others or connect with a dream or goal is with you today, dear Virgo. You might find that people in your life can be impatient or tense if they are not able to do something productive or growth-oriented. You may be feeling this as well, so if you can latch on to an activity that makes you feel useful and feeds your sense of purpose, then do so. You do have a strong independent streak these days, but you’re likely to enjoy some company now. There is a stronger sense of current trends and ideas, and you’d like to be on top of these.

Libra

With the Moon in your performance sector all day, dear Libra, your attention turns to structures, rules, career, and responsibilities. Challenges arising today can be motivating, nudging you to action or to making important changes. This is a time for reassessing recent projects or goals from a more practical, experienced, and realistic perspective, even if this means letting something go or channeling your energies and efforts differently. You are in a good position to enjoy behind the scenes activities and time to yourself. This can serve to improve your intuition, which is strong as it is today.

Scorpio

The Moon intensifies your desire for forward movement, growth, and discovery today, dear Scorpio, and your spirits lift. Even so, there can be some moodiness today if you’re not certain what to do with yourself or if your indecision keeps you from doing what you want to do. Watch for impatience with others and you may want to hold back a little before voicing your frustrations, as the feeling may pass rather quickly. Avoid overcommitting yourself so that you have some freedom to explore possibilities. This can be a good day for casual relationships. Shared experiences and ideas are favored.

Sagittarius

You are drawn to the more mysterious or subtle levels of life today, dear Sagittarius, with the Moon in your solar eighth house all day. It’s a great time to learn more about your unanswered or deeper needs, and it’s also a powerful time for observing others’ behaviors and learning new things about important people in your life. There could be a distancing or clash with a friend today, but for the most part, you’re in a good position to learn more about yourself and your relationships.

Capricorn

There is a stronger thrust towards pursuing your major life goals or career matters these days, dear Capricorn, but there is a need to tend to pay more emotional attention to your close relationships now. There can be some competitiveness in the air, but channeling extra energy into productive activities can reduce tension or keep it to a healthy level. The Moon is in your opposing sign, and this can inspire a desire to balance out your life in various areas, and especially in your relationships. You seek out companionship now.

Aquarius

You’re in an especially outgoing and action-oriented solar cycle, dear Aquarius, and this will continue through the third week of October. However, today you can be drawn to dealing with details, work, and routines, as you can feel quite emotionally “off” if systems in your daily life are not working up to par. You can learn a lot from disruptive or erratic emotions, as you’re more likely to see what issues you’ve left unresolved. Tend to any neglected areas of your life in order to feel more organized and confident going forward. This is a strong day for throwing yourself into a favorite activity, particularly if you need to deduce, investigate, or research in order to advance your interests.

Pisces

The Moon harmonizes with your sign today, dear Pisces, and this tends to build confidence as it’s a little easier to express your feelings naturally through your activities. There is more playfulness in your approach to the world, and you’re generally coming across well. Even so, there can be some mixed signals to deal with. There may be some underlying concerns about relationships or deeper emotions about longer-term matters that poke up for attention now and again today, and this can translate as moodiness. Overall, the coming weeks and even month are strong for relationships, and sorting out your feelings about someone or about relationships in general can do you a world of good now.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 3

Aries

While generally speaking with Mercury still retrograde it’s best to avoid hard and fast decision making, dear Aries, the Moon in your communications sector most of the day does stimulate a desire to communicate, connect, and collect information. Express yourself and stay flexible – be spontaneous if you feel right about something in your gut. This can be a time for lending someone a hand or acting upon an idea. There can be a nice feeling of camaraderie with a partner or friend. With the Moon moving into your home and family sector tonight, find activities that help build confidence from the ground up, and that are familiar and comforting.

Taurus

Your intuition is quite sound when it comes to practical and business matters today, dear Taurus. With Mercury still retrograde, we can be a little fuzzy with facts, but you’re in good form for new ideas and instincts with money today. You may simply need to refine them at a later date. You are more inclined to stick with the familiar than to venture out looking for new experiences today. Even so, you could be feeling close to someone who seems to be sharing the same values as you or who looks to you with special respect. Tonight, you enter a more curious lunar period, and it’s a time for branching out and entertaining new possibilities.

Gemini

This a good day for networking, connecting, and sharing ideas, dear Gemini. The Moon in your sign most of the day tends to magnify your own emotions, at times at the cost of reason. However, this is an important time for getting into touch with your emotional wants and needs, even if they may seem exaggerated at first. You can be craving some “me time”, but can certainly benefit from reaching out to others. Later today, emotional needs don’t seem as urgent, with the Moon moving out of your sign. It’s a good time for reminding yourself of what you do have, and for finding ways to appreciate these things.

Cancer

There is a tendency for you to keep to yourself much of the day, dear Cancer, or to withdraw a little from mainstream activities in order to regroup on an emotional level. You might be craving a sense of order in your emotional life. It’s natural now to look to the past, settle some issues, close projects, and crave extra rest or time to yourself. The Moon enters your sign later evening, and this tends to have the effect of bringing attention your way. The only real “enemy” with this position of the Moon is impatience. Emotions feel urgent, as if fulfilling your emotional needs is an emergency. These desires will pass, often as quickly as they came on in the first place, but pay attention to what’s left behind of them.

Leo

There can be stimulating and even inspiring conversations in your social network today, dear Leo. You might enjoy others’ company more than usual. It’s a great day for networking, connecting, and group activities, and one of the better days for casually communicating in this retrograde Mercury cycle. Doing favors for others may be a good way to express yourself now. Later evening, the Moon moves into your solar twelfth house for a couple days, making it a good time for reflecting on your personal life, particularly with your future in mind, and how you can better develop and improve your attitude towards shaping your life in empowering ways.

Virgo

You’re more concerned about your responsibilities and performance much of the day, dear Virgo, so that the sooner you meet your obligations, the more relaxed and fulfilled you’ll feel. This afternoon brings lighter energy. Your heart is in your chores now, so that they can be done more happily. You are security-minded and moved to take charge. Projecting a more confident “you” is certainly coming more naturally to you these days and this will continue for some time. Later evening, the need for non-competitive outlets for self-expression emerges quite strongly. The less expected of you, the more naturally you contribute, share, and connect with others at this time.

Libra

This can be a good time for sharing ideas and visions with a friend, dear Libra. Honest expression of feelings is the way to go now – it’s charming and winning, frees you of unnecessary guilt, and ultimately, helps you to solve problems. It’s a good time for considering your longer-term goals and plans. Generally speaking with Mercury retrograde in your sign (until the 9th), it’s not the ideal time to expect to know all the details, facts, or figures, but it is a fine time for connecting with a different perspective on your life. Later today, the Moon moves into your career and reputation sector, and this tends to stimulate an increased sense of your responsibilities. The expectations of others can pull you in a particular direction.

Scorpio

Whether it’s through a conversation with someone or with yourself, you’re inclined to pull important matter out from deep inside of you. Thinking, journaling, or ruminating can get you into better touch with your inner needs, wants, and motivations. Discoveries can be truly helpful, and others may be appreciating the insight you share. You’re likely to gravitate towards quiet, healing activities. Tricky issues or ideas can be tackled now with greater ease. By later evening, you’re likely to want to pull yourself up and out, perhaps hungering for more action and experience.

Sagittarius

The day’s energies favor making connections, dear Sagittarius, but particularly interacting on one-to-one levels. A partnership or friendship deserves some special attention today. This is a strong day for bonding with someone, especially if you are tuning into nonverbal cues. You have a way of expressing yourself today that draws people in and allows them to open up. Later evening, the Moon moves into your solar eighth house, and you tend to notice and perhaps dwell on more subtle levels. This can be helpful as it is likely to bring you into better touch with your feelings.

Capricorn

Your focus is on the details of your life and getting things into order, and you’re likely to be feeling on top of things today, dear Capricorn. You’ll find that others are thinking and responding rather than reacting, and this allows for a smoother conversation flow. You might receive or give very practical advice. Circumstances may be such that you need to become more organized and efficient with your work and daily life, and energies today are supportive for these goals. Later evening, the Moon moves into your partnership sector, and this tends to bring you into a more sociable mood, or one in which you’d prefer to share your ideas or activities with someone.

Aquarius

You’re not necessarily in the mood to just blend in today, dear Aquarius. In fact, you may be in the mood for some special attention or recognition for your more unique qualities. It’s a strong time for all things creative. You are displaying more confidence, vitality, and optimism. People are drawn to your good humor quite naturally. Later today, you are a little more sensitive to imbalances or inconsistencies in your personal life and environment. A focus on daily routines or on details can be comforting.

Pisces

You continue to be a little more introspective and cautious today, dear Pisces, with the Moon in your solar fourth house until later evening, but in no way unfriendly. In fact, your feelings are especially warm. It is a good time to set priorities and to enjoy simple things. It’s not a day for pushing or reaching beyond boundaries – there’s plenty of time for that later this month – but it’s a good day for emotionally preparing for more demanding days. Later evening, the Moon’s move into your creativity sector can stimulate a stronger need to express and share yourself with others.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 2nd

Aries

The pace tends to be busy today, dear Aries, largely because your curiosity is big and attention span a little short. There can be some conflicts between the desire for freedom and the need to tend to work and routines. It may be a little difficult to discipline yourself now, particularly if your heart’s not into what you’re doing at the moment. Fortunately, the month ahead brings building motivation levels and a stronger sense of purpose or mission. Today, take in, connect, and learn.

Taurus

There could be commitments to help people out today that get in the way of your own plans, needs, or wants, dear Taurus. Your emotional focus is more practical than anything today, and you could feel a stronger need to produce or to be productive, but distractions are likely. If you can manage it, you may be better off working by and for yourself just for now. Fine-tune plans right now, and get the details right before moving things along.

Gemini

It can be a little difficult balancing home and friends today, dear Gemini, or you could find yourself in the position to explain that an outside commitment prevents you from spending time with someone in your life. Focus on physical work, if possible, that gets you ahead, because energy channeled constructively can prevent nervous tension or restlessness. The Moon in your sign brings buried emotions to the forefront, and you can find easy expression in creative pursuits today. You might discover that you’re in demand today.

Cancer

You might find that you’re in demand today, dear Cancer, or possibly called upon to do your duties or perform your responsibilities when your mind is elsewhere. Obligations can conflict with what you’d rather be doing, and certainly, you’re in need of some rest and emotional renewal. Work can be overwhelming today, but you’re in demand and this can be considered a good thing! Revisions made now to projects or your work can be especially beneficial in the future. You’re inclined to keep to yourself or require some break from the hustle and bustle with the Moon in the sign behind yours all day.

Leo

There could be some seesawing between impatience and caution today, dear Leo. Part of you wants to explore your horizons and your options, and another part would prefer to focus on what you’ve already been building. Don’t let this predicament keep you in a state of “not doing”. If you’re on the fence, put your efforts into something you absolutely know needs doing, and then return to your decision a little more refreshed and less burdened. The Moon is in your solar eleventh house all day so that connecting with others in some way can help fill you emotionally.

Virgo

You may be feeling a little pressured to make a decision or to make changes today, dear Virgo, but it may be best to slow down or wait until you are more “in the know” and feeling clearer. Try to control impulses to act hastily. Others could be pushing your buttons, or there could be a lack of appreciation for all that you do, and this can be frustrating. However, you’re certainly coming into your own. It’s probably better to do things at your own pace or independently rather than waiting on others for their input. The Moon is in your solar tenth house all day, at the top of your solar chart, and you could feel that you’re in the spotlight – people seem to be taking note of what you are doing, or haven’t done! This can be a good time to follow the rules and fill your responsibilities to the best of your ability.

Libra

Try not to spend too much time on inner conflicts today, dear Libra, as this can lead to unnecessary stress, anguish, and a state of limbo that gets you nowhere. It’s best to turn your attention to what needs doing and then coming back to your predicament or decision after you’ve had time to process things. It can be rather futile to do battle with others or the outside world when you are conflicted on the inside. A partner may remind you of a commitment or obligation that you’d prefer to forget, or they may be challenging your intentions. However, the Moon’s presence in your sector of adventure and higher thinking can pull you out of a funk. It can be fairly easy to work off steam by channeling emotions and energy into a creative pursuit.

Scorpio

You could be feeling a little divided in both attention and time today, dear Scorpio, particularly between work or the responsibilities of your daily affairs and your personal or social life. Your mind can be elsewhere as you fill your duties, but you can’t entirely enjoy yourself until they are filled! It can be difficult to get others to cooperate with you just for now, especially if you are having a hard time sorting out your own desires and needs. However, this is a good time for discoveries about feelings and emotions. In fact, you may have a eureka of sorts about a past matter that is quite satisfying.

Sagittarius

You could be having a hard time concentrating and focusing today, dear Sagittarius, and may not know where to direct your time, energy, and attention. An obligation to someone in your life might be interfering with the need to push a business or career project forward. Try to slow down and avoid the unnecessary stress of indecision. Avoid trying to fix situations or people when it’s probably best to let thing play out naturally or the let things be. Today is best used for tending to details and fixing problems rather than pushing forward without a defined goal. With the Moon in your partnership zone, you may want to lean on someone you trust.

Capricorn

You could have some problems coming together with others smoothly today, dear Capricorn, as relations may feel a little off at times, as if you’re getting in the way of each other. This is simply a timing issue – something that happens now and again and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. However, it’s best to avoid pushing forward with your ideas or plans on a day when timing is a little off. Focusing on practical matters and details can be better than doing big-picture thinking, decision-making, and goal-setting. The Moon in your solar sixth house all day reinforces this, as it’s a good time for ironing out problem or weak areas in your life.

Aquarius

Although your life sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride these days, dear Aquarius, there could be a part of you that enjoys the challenge or intuitively understands that some change is necessary in order to pull you out of a rut. Today, you may be confronting the part of you that is looking to stir things up, and you might consider ways to let this work for you rather than against you! The Moon spends the day in your sector of play and creativity, and this can certainly elevate your spirits, particularly as the Moon connects with the Sun in your sector of higher thinking and spirit.

Pisces

You could be dealing with crossed wires that leaves you lacking the necessary information or confidence to make an important decision today, dear Pisces. It may be better to wait things out. October is actually quite powerful for decision making and confidence generally speaking after the 9th. Instead of getting worked up unnecessarily over things you can’t currently change, attempt to focus on productive, positive efforts and activities. Part of you is attracted to the excitement of a challenge, and another part is drawn to things and situations that keep you feeling balanced and steady. Try not to let this inner tug of war keep you in a state of limbo or stress you out.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 29th

Aries

There can be some feeling of regret or guilt about not fulfilling a responsibility, dear Aries, or a past decision. Past errors may resurface. Try not to spend too much time on missed opportunities and aim to correct mistakes, deal with inconsistencies, and move on. This is not the best time to push an idea or present your case, but what comes of the thinking you do now can be significant. The Moon continues to transit your sign until later afternoon, when your attention shifts from mainly emotional concerns to practical ones.

Taurus

Decision making can be difficult today, dear Taurus, particularly surrounding work and friends. Try to be as productive and helpful as you can today, but if you feel others are pushing your boundaries, take care of yourself as well. Social problems might interfere with, or distract you from, your work. While it’s not an ideal day for solid decision-making or fact-checking, it’s good for letting your imagination take you to new places. The Moon enters your sign later afternoon, pulling up buried emotions and stirring a desire to do what you feel like doing rather than what you’re expected to do.

Gemini

With sensitive Neptune and Venus in awkward angle to your ruler, Mercury, today, you could be wrestling with your perceptions or second-guessing recent decisions, dear Gemini. Uncertainty may not be the easiest feeling for you to manage, but if you resolve to accept that today is not the time for making final decisions or commitments, you can instead entertain possibilities that you may not consider on more practical days. Focus on little tasks and avoid worrying about where you’re going with them. This way you’ll end up accomplishing a lot more. The Moon’s move into your privacy and soul sector later afternoon helps you to recognize the need to unwind and refresh.

Cancer

While it can be difficult to make clear decisions today, dear Cancer, you’re in a good position to notice things about yourself, others, and situations in your life that you may not see on other days. Look for creative ways to express yourself rather than the usual or traditional routes, perhaps through poetry, taking in a show, meditation, or the arts. You may not be in agreement or seeing eye to eye with some people in your life now, but it’s a good time to rethink what it is you truly do want. The Moon moves into your social sector later afternoon, and you may be seeking out the company of those who truly allow you to be yourself.

Leo

Communications may not go through the way you intend today, dear Leo, but then again, you may not be completely certain of what you want at this time. There could be vague problems with boundaries and particularly with friends, siblings, or classmates. Dwelling on missed opportunities will not do you any good, but taking a quick lesson makes sense. Take note of which situations are eroding your confidence and aim to deal with these going forward. This general state is likely to influence tomorrow as well. The Moon moves into your professional sector later afternoon, and this brings your attention to responsibilities.

Virgo

There can be some wistfulness today, dear Virgo, as you may be longing for something but can’t see a direct route to its attainment. You might also feel that someone is overstepping their bounds today, and if you feel infringed upon, even subtly, take note instead of shaking it off. This may be a signal that you need to draw the line, perhaps not today but going forward. Major purchases or business decisions should probably wait for a clearer time. Find ways to bolster your health and esteem today. The Moon moving into Taurus later afternoon puts it in harmony with your sign for a couple days, and you could find that adding a little adventure into your life, possibly through a new interest or researching a new idea, can improve your mood many times over.

Libra

You may not be getting the feedback you want today, dear Libra. This is a temporary hurdle to jump, and can serve to remind you to look within for happiness. Make yourself proud with the things you choose to do today. Rather than pressing for answers, with Neptune strong and challenging today and tomorrow, be content with the notion that you may not need to know the whole story just yet. If others or your work efforts seem to be draining you of energy, learn to tune out distractions. Watch for a tendency to let things slide. The Moon moving into your solar eighth house later afternoon can suggest that research or throwing yourself into a passion or interest can lead to more emotional satisfaction.

Scorpio

Inner restlessness can be triggered today if you are dwelling on a topic that doesn’t seem to have a clear answer, dear Scorpio, or on a past mistake or missed opportunity. While it’s important to take a lesson from the past, if it’s truly interfering with the past in disruptive ways, then try to redirect your imagination to something a little more pleasant or productive. With your communications today, try not to take the easy road, as it can come back to you at a later date. The Moon’s move into your partnership sector later afternoon may serve to pull you out of a tendency to focus on what’s wrong with your life and into a more cooperative mood.

Sagittarius

Watch for a tendency to stray from the truth today, dear Sagittarius, as this can happen with you or to you. Sometimes it’s best to stay on the fence than to make a statement you’re not truly ready to make. A friend may be showing an unpleasant side, or something that’s communicated makes you uncomfortable. Misunderstandings are very possible today not only with Mercury retrograde but in mildly difficult aspect with Venus and dreamy Neptune. It’s not the easiest time to focus and concentrate, but it’s a good time to consider some of your more spiritual, imaginative needs and how to fill them.

Capricorn

You may not feel especially prepared today, dear Capricorn, or foggy about certain facts. Some of you could be concerned with a missed opportunity or a past mistake that emerges now. Try not to dwell too much on the past, but keep in mind that taking a lesson now can really push you forward as the Sun and retrograde Mercury move towards an alignment in your career sector, exact tomorrow, illuminating ideas that take into account both the past and the future. There can be some extra sensitivity to what’s perceived as criticism, but once you take time to center yourself, you may decide that you’re ready to move forward with an eye on improving your situation. The Moon’s move into your playful creative sector later afternoon helps lift your spirits.

Aquarius

There can be some uncertainty experienced today, dear Aquarius, but what you’re examining now can lead to important discoveries, particularly in the areas of education and travel, or anything related to those things that help feed your spirit for discovery and adventure. Doubts may be part of your day now, or there could be the discovery of an inconsistency in a plan or idea. Inner reflection can serve you well now, and with the Moon moving into your solar sector of heart and home later afternoon, it may be quite natural to go that route.

Pisces

With your ruler, Neptune, in awkward angle to Mercury today and the Sun tomorrow, dear Pisces, it may not be easy to get your message across. It’s a good time to think about the past and take a lesson from it. This could be a time of some forgetfulness and mental distraction. If you find yourself dwelling on past mistakes or feeling guilty, find ways to delve deep inside and forgive yourself. Letting go of guilt and replacing it with resolve to be more attentive going forward will do wonders for your mood. Guilt has a way of hanging heavy in your life, weighing you down. The Moon’s move into your communications sector later afternoon can motivate you to write or talk out your feelings.

Get a Jump on Tomorrow,

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, September 5th

by Rick Levine

General Horoscope

We may appear easygoing at first but strong convictions override our desire for a lighthearted conversation with everyone we meet. The interactive Gemini Moon enables us to flirt with more meaningful issues without necessarily becoming emotionally involved. However, the willful Sun forms a free-flowing trine with unrelenting Pluto, driving our feelings into the eye of any hurricane in the vicinity. Clever words give way to passionate encounters.

Aries Horoscope

Mar 21 – Apr 19

Nothing is more important to you today than living up to other people’s expectations and you might even become obsessive about doing the right thing. Your drive to finish what you start is probably much stronger than your need to be distracted. You understand that you have no other option but to take care of unfinished business before you run out of time. There are deadlines to meet and your reputation is at stake; it’s now or never.

Taurus Horoscope

Apr 20 – May 20

Your emotional steadiness goes beyond a textbook description of a stubborn Bull. Romantic concerns that might normally be upsetting are taken in stride today because you believe you can safely say what’s on your mind. However, you might have a sneaky suspicion that no one is listening to you. But don’t rock the boat just to see if anyone is paying attention. Waiting for the right moment to have a rational discussion is less stressful for everyone involved and more effective in the long run.

Gemini Horoscope

May 21 – Jun 20

You’re confident you can communicate your ideas easily today, and you expect others to be charmed by your charisma. Although you may be poised to swing into action before you have all the details in place, your cavalier attitude clashes with a more contemplative side of your personality that comes to the forefront now. Assimilate your careful analysis into your strategy, for it helps you hit your target with even more accuracy. Practice makes perfect.

Cancer Horoscope

Jun 21 – Jul 22

Your brain may win out over your heart in an internal struggle between logic and emotions. But it isn’t wise to overreact to a situation before you allow sufficient time to process your feelings. It makes good sense to override a strong attraction that will only add drama to your life as long as you don’t just shut down prematurely out of fear. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is to take care of yourself.

Leo Horoscope

Jul 23 – Aug 22

It could seem as if you have reached the end of the road and that summer is already over, even though it’s not. However, your anticipation of the future heightens your sense of urgency today as the Moon highlights your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes. You might try to squeeze so much into your schedule that you don’t have time to enjoy any of it. Nevertheless, a more deliberate approach works if you stop and set priorities early in the day. Oddly enough, slowing down enables you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible.

Virgo Horoscope

Aug 23 – Sep 22

You may be locked in an endless debate that has no clear winner as passionate Pluto aligns with the practical Virgo Sun today. Your words sound overly emotional, even if that’s not how you feel. Although you might keep your vulnerability a secret for now, the truth will probably leak out soon enough, anyhow. Take control by shifting the conversation from a confrontational argument into an opportunity to share your passions. No one can find fault with your words as long as you communicate in a respectful manner.

Libra Horoscope

Sep 23 – Oct 22

You wish you could lean on others now, but everyone seems to be on their own edge of change and therefore somewhat unavailable. Meanwhile, you can find balance as long as you keep your worries to yourself. Unfortunately, you may be living under an illusion based upon what you don’t want to know. Nevertheless, it’s easier to simply take care of a problem by responding quickly than it is to wait and see what will happen next if you leave things alone. Don’t put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

Scorpio Horoscope

Oct 23 – Nov 21

Don’t quit now just because you’re feeling overwhelmed. Have faith that you can get through all your assignments if you simply focus on one task at a time. However, all kinds of distractions pull you away from your mundane commitments. Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to persistent Pluto blesses you with the ability to maintain your concentration, no matter what. You can reach your desired destination if you put your mind to it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Sagittarius Horoscope

Nov 22 – Dec 21

Although your enthusiastic nature can often move mountains, optimism alone isn’t enough to prepare you for the big changes ahead. Don’t try to fake competence or you could find yourself in over your head before you know it. You must clearly demonstrate your competence before you ask others to accept you as their leader. Your passion is inspirational but all talk and no action won’t get you very far today. Lead by example and not by command.

Capricorn Horoscope

Dec 22 – Jan 19

There’s so much uncontrollable energy floating around in the atmosphere today that you might not be able to suppress your current anxiety. However, you won’t find peace of mind by trying to run the entire show. Being in touch with your feelings isn’t necessarily a problem, especially if it motivates you to exert your authority over those parts of your life that are within your sphere of influence. But don’t fight an unwinnable battle; knowing when to let go can turn potential frustration into surprising satisfaction.

Aquarius Horoscope

Jan 20 – Feb 18

If there are lingering questions from a close friend or partner hanging between you, respond to them as fast as possible because your window of opportunity is closing quickly now. Instead of secretively manipulating the pieces of the puzzle, bring any remaining concerns out in the open while you can. Once all your cards are on the table today, it will be much easier to talk about what is wrong and discuss a variety of possible solutions. Clearing the air is the kindest thing you can do for all parties involved.

Pisces Horoscope

Feb 19 – Mar 20

Stand up and say what’s on your mind today because your words carry the intensity of the conviction of your beliefs. Go the extra mile to be completely honest with your friends while the Sun harmonizes with profound Pluto in your 11th House of Social Networking. Just be certain you’re making sense when you share your feelings, since you could be extremely passionate about a relationship issue now. Aim your thoughts carefully and don’t stray from your truth. Claim your power while you have the chance.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, September 2nd

Aries

Be sure to write down new ideas coming to you now, dear Aries, particularly about new systems for doing things in your work, daily routines, and health programs. Ideas are especially inventive now, but don’t be in too big of a rush to put them into action just yet. The tendency right now is to be overly rebellious, reactive, and impulsive. This is a good day for drawing upon energy and motivation to get things done, but do watch for impulsiveness or excessive pride. Shortcuts taken now may cost you more time later on. Aim to focus on more practical concerns.

Taurus

The Moon is now in your sign, and the emotional weather is playing in your favor. It’s a particularly dynamic day for learning, sharing, and connecting. Drama in your personal life, with friends, lovers, and possibly children, can arise now, but avoid getting caught up in it when your energy could be better utilized elsewhere. The cosmic atmosphere is electric right now with change-making Uranus in hard aspect with expansive Jupiter. Freedom and change are keywords now, but they’re coming together in a challenging way, which can produce some impatience or impulsiveness. A surprising connection might develop now that redirects your attention. The need for release from the past, limiting attitudes, and restrictive situations is powerful, but it’s important to consider what needs changing first rather than jumping into – or out of – something prematurely.

Gemini

Tensions can arise today if people are wanting more from you than you can reasonably provide, dear Gemini, and if there is a situation that has been increasingly more limiting or stifling, you can feel the need to break from it strongly now. You are more spontaneous than usual today, although possibly impulsive. Unusual and surprising energy is with you for social activities. You could meet new friends that give you a whole new perspective on life. Changes can be made in your social circle. There may be a conflict between a desire for more attention to home life and personal plans, and a desire to connect and socialize. The desire for open, equal, and happy associations is strong. Some of you could have been transitioning out of a friendship or totally changing the dynamics of an existing friendship in order to accommodate your increased need for personal freedom. Watch today for some impatience with others.

Cancer

Do grab opportunities to enjoy new experiences and to meet new people now, dear Cancer, but avoid throwing your money away, making too-quick decisions about work, or stirring up conflict until you’ve considered possible consequences. You want to have more freedom to express yourself and to say what you want, but it’s important to avoid speaking too prematurely about a matter. Pay strong attention to new ideas generated around you, and within you! New insights into your career are coming now, and it’s important to listen not only to what your intuition is telling you, but also to what seems to be coming from out of the blue – synchronicity and other “chance” events. There may be too many distractions to deal with on the job to be especially productive today, but the day is better for big, new ideas rather than for focusing on the details.

Leo

There can be a strong restlessness felt now, dear Leo, but without knowing where you’re headed, conflict might be stimulated. There could be a predicament this week regarding two competing desires. For one thing, you want to build something solid, get more secure, make money, or feel more comfortable and rooted. On the other hand, you may have the travel bug or a desire to learn that would take time away from the immediate rewards of accomplishing something now. Watch for impulsive spending today, but do take note of new money ideas, products of interest, and other information taken in right now, as it can be very beneficial later. If you tune into the Moon’s presence in your career sector in harmony with the Sun and Jupiter in your resources zone, you can enjoy easy, natural energy for practical affairs.

Virgo

You might need to focus in order to handle a financial matter today, dear Virgo, particularly if it’s holding you back from your dreams and need to be freer. It’s about taking more control over your money and aiming towards a life in which your dependence on others is lessened. This can include the formation of debt. This is a period of freeing yourself from compulsive behavior that has been holding you back from expressing yourself with confidence. You might experience a moment of truth, as well as motivation to kick a bad habit and to live a freer, more joyful life as a result. You can experience a real impulsive streak today, and possibly carried forward into part of the day tomorrow. There can be a strong sense of new opportunities coming into your life now. You should be thinking in terms of progress, but do avoid rash or rebellious moves, which can be a tendency now.
You are not inclined to enjoy being caged in, but neither are you happy with what feels like neglect when given the freedom to do your own thing.

Libra

It’s certainly not the best of days to reach an agreement or a compromise, dear Libra, so you might want to save important negotiations for later. However, the tension that you may be feeling now is likely to light a fire under you. You may not quite know the direction you’re heading yet, however. Watch for erratic behavior around you but don’t let it distract you. New information can surface that pushes the need for necessary changes. You are meeting people who truly contribute to your vision, and you are far less interested in lifeless, dry interactions. Even so, there are some reservations, guilty feelings, or past matters that need handling in order for you to truly feel good about pursuing your interests. This is a time for letting go of limiting attitudes, but also for being mindful of what is truly valuable in your life.

Scorpio

Today, you are more inclined to embrace change, dear Scorpio, but it is important to discern between making changes based on need and jumping into or out of something from a place of rebellion. Ideally, you are now realizing that changes that have been occurring in your life are actually very liberating. If you have been suppressing yourself in a particularly stifling situation, impatience with this part of your life can come on quite suddenly now. An entirely new attitude towards the work you do, the skills you possess, your health and well-being, and your ability to manage the important details of your life emerges today as if you have seen the light. However, adapting to a changeable working environment can be stressful at times, although also more rewarding when you realize you can meet the challenges. You are recognizing your ability to adapt while maintaining your own personal style. Avoid jumping into something prematurely, however. Look for ways to balance your attention to your work and routines with your social life and networking.

Sagittarius

Stifling situations and activities that restrict you simply will not be tolerated today, dear Sagittarius, with your ruler, Jupiter, in challenging aspect with Uranus. As long as you don’t totally fly in the face of convention and keep at least one foot on the ground, this can be an inspiring time. Keep a positive frame of mind, but also peace of mind by using common sense in any new venture that is birthing now. As well, be cautious if you’re thinking of throwing out an in-progress project, as the feeling can pass. In short, feel your need for change, but make sure you know the consequences before making life-changing decisions. It can be difficult to rely on others today, as their desire for freedom, or their impatience, can certainly produce some waves in your own life right now. Career news may be surprising, or you may see new ways to handle your responsibilities.

Capricorn

This is a good time for new ideas surrounding home and family, dear Capricorn. Conditions might push you to come up with creative rearrangements, or you could be feeling so restless that change seems completely inevitable. Changes in your domestic situation or in your inner world are likely to occur now, although some of you may simply feel caged in and desirous of change. Unexpected events can occur now that force you along a different path. Alternatively, you may feel a little stuck with two competing needs – on the one hand, you want more personal freedom, and on the other, you want to feel secure. Whether to produce now or build your skills or knowledge further can be an issue. There can be a strong desire to move forward, but a game plan may be lacking. You may not need one just yet, as you may be able to ride on the feeling that you are on the verge of something important. Stay active, think about what you want to accomplish down the road, and avoid pushing something too fast right now, as it may be premature. The important thing is that you’re feeling motivated and that you’re forward-looking.

Aquarius

Try to embrace the need to make changes today, dear Aquarius, while keeping one foot on the ground. Watch that you don’t get into a crash-and-burn state. There can be shows of independence or circumstances that strongly suggest to you that changes are in order, particularly in your intimate world. Rise above immature reactions and instead respond with more deliberation. Don’t rush through everything. Your ruler, rebellious Uranus, is forming a tense angle with Jupiter, another planet that has a freedom-seeking energy. Be certain of what it is that you want to change. Entertain the possibility that any chance meeting or event now is not necessarily random, but keep in mind that it’s up to you how you react to new situations and ideas. Watch for impatient communications and transportation. Otherwise, look for new ways of looking at old problems that will enhance your life.

Pisces

Impulsive buying habits may need to be watched for today, dear Pisces. Combat this if you can, and consider that it may take other forms, such as overindulgence or quick decisions about business that might need more time to evolve. Impatience can make it difficult to see things for their true value right now. Otherwise, you could be feeling quite motivated to make money and to get some work done, possibly to make up for past procrastination. Feeling unsettled or insecure is possible if you are thrust into a situation in which you feel inexperienced today. While this is generally a time for looking forward and feeling positive about relationships and resources, taking quick action may not have desirable outcomes. Listen to your urges, but judge whether you may be temporarily blowing things out of proportion. While you’re itching to change your situation, risky moves are not advised for the moment. Have faith in your ability to better manage your life, but avoid the traps of too-optimistic thinking.

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…

Get A Jump On Tomorrow….

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 1st

Aries

It’s natural to feel a little more energetic and spontaneous today than you usually are, dear Aries, with the Moon in your sign and your ruler, Mars, just coming away from a conjunction to Venus. You are quick to pick up on what is expected of you today, and yet you are marching to your own inner “drummer”, managing to nevertheless take the lead and own it. Emotions are immediate and at the surface, but you seem to be setting the pace for the most part now, and it can feel good to be in control and on top of things.

Taurus

You are absorbing energies around you in a more introverted manner than usual today, dear Taurus, and you stand to learn quite a bit from observation today with the Moon in Aries, the sign just behind yours. You will quite naturally come out of your shell again when the Moon enters Taurus tomorrow morning, but for now, sticking with quiet activities, if possible, is most helpful emotionally. Let your intuition work for you. This is not a time when you’re especially forthcoming or expressive with your feelings, as you can be a little guarded, but it’s also a time when you are processing recent experiences, and it can take a bit of time to get in touch with your innermost feelings.

Gemini

Today brings a stronger desire to be around people, dear Gemini. Common philosophies, beliefs, or goals are apparent now, perhaps because you’re seeking them out. You’re also looking to gently push the usual boundaries and seeking out different experiences. Your more inventive, innovative, and perhaps rebellious side can emerge now. While this is sociable energy that’s with you today, the month ahead brings a stronger desire to reconnect with family, home life, or your inner world.

Cancer

You may be feeling very much in charge today, dear Cancer, and even if you don’t, you’ll need to at least act like you feel that way! Responsibilities have a way of presenting themselves loud and clear today. The Moon is highlighting your career and reputation sector, and will continue to do so until tomorrow morning. If you feel things heating up in your career or your public life, you’re very much in tune. Do whatever you can to present yourself in the most professional and competent of manners now.

Leo

Good energy is with you for putting things into perspective and for feeling positive about the future, dear Leo. This is a strong day for identifying problems in your life and visualizing life as it would be after putting these things behind you. While there is definitely a time for concentrating on details, today you need to take a step back in order to see the bigger picture. Step out of your regular routine in order to refresh yourself emotionally. You are learning to trust your intuition and imagination when it comes to spiritual matters recently, and today this is emphasized.

Virgo

After a few days of wearing your emotions on your sleeve, dear Virgo, emotions are internalized today. You could find that you’re honing in on the more hidden elements of life, looking for motives and deeper meaning. If you’re feeling a little insecure or have unresolved issues to deal with, you could find that your mind turns to matters revolving around old hurts, inequalities, and unfair scenarios. Matters of ownership can be in stronger focus now. Don’t fight the urge to go inward, but remember that you can choose to make this a positive experience.

Libra

With the Moon in your opposite sign all day, dear Libra, you may be looking to others for emotional stimulation or security today. Being emotionally sensitive to others can go both ways – you are caring more than usual about what they are feeling about you, but you’re also more adaptable and willing to compromise. Using this sensitivity in positive ways can be rewarding now. You may be turning to someone else for advice or simply company. Try to take a breather from heavy emotions or emotional excitement. Fortunately, the month ahead supports efforts to get away and rest more than most.

Scorpio

Emotional satisfaction comes from making yourself useful today, dear Scorpio, which can come as a nice change after many days focusing on relationships and social matters. The monotony of the routine, however, is not what you’re seeking, so it may be a good idea to do new things or combine play and work to keep you engaged. Energy is variable, and you might discover that it’s more about motivation than physical matters. If you’re lacking confidence in what you’re doing or where you’re headed, then you may steer off course a little. Fortunately, the month ahead is likely to be especially strong for inspiration and new ideas.

Sagittarius

The playful energies of the day are pronounced, dear Sagittarius, and possibly come as a nice relief. With others, you manage to be conciliatory and dynamic at once, and this is a difficult and wonderful balance to achieve. You are generous with your time and energy today, and you’re coming across as magnetic and expressive. Love relationships and/or friendships are not especially clear right now, but perhaps they don’t need to be at the moment. Enjoy yourself by going with the flow now.

Capricorn

The month ahead should be an energizing one for you, dear Capricorn. Powerful energy is brought to your solar ninth house, and this brings out your curious and adventurous side. Today, however, you’re more content to stick with familiar things, people, and methods. Avoid the temptation to jump into something new when there are very valuable projects in progress that you can restore or tweak. Early day intensity and dramatics tend to settle as the day moves forward, after which you’ll find yourself intuiting your way through whatever you do.

Aquarius

You are especially alert today, dear Aquarius, as well as insatiably curious about what’s going on around you. You are likely to be in the mood for idle chit chat, making connections, and sharing small yet important stories from your day with others. While it may not be the best day for concentration, you can be productive if you put your mind to it, and if you vary up your routine. Focus is on sharing and interacting more than anything, so working on a communications project can be especially successful right now.

Pisces

You are in a more practical frame of mind today, dear Pisces, but you are also quite innovative, able to bring new energy to the material world. Emotions are settling today. Although they’re still exciting, emotions are steady enough to allow you to relax and enjoy the moment. Earthy, grounding, and comforting activities are most helpful now, and happen to be what you’re most drawn to at the moment. You may be craving physical comforts, and can be a little more possessive or self-centered today, which can be a good thing in moderation from time to time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 28th

Aries

While you could experience delays or changes of plans today, your good mood lifts you above fretting over these things, dear Aries. Share your good cheer with others, as many people will need a little pick-me-up right now. View social blunders for what they are – mistakes – and be the one who focuses on the positive today. Later today, however, if you don’t find a productive channel for your excess energy, you might be snappy or irritable. You might feel like the ball is not in your court just now. It is sometimes more important to be respected than to be liked, and this can be one of those times.

Taurus

You may feel compelled to connect harmoniously with a significant other today, dear Taurus, but there can be some misunderstandings, particularly with a family member. Avoid anything that promises a power or control game. There is no winning right now! Something may be holding you back, such as a gut feeling or a fear, from throwing yourself into a romance or from expressing your feelings right now. Decisions are best left for another day. While it’s important to listen to what your intuition is telling you, a distinction should be made between fear and instinct, and sometimes it’s difficult to do so. Be careful that the words you choose to use to express yourself don’t come across as critical. While some days support spontaneity, this is a better day to be on your best behavior.

Gemini

You can be productive on a home or family matter/project today, dear Gemini, although in many areas of life you may be easily distracted. Dealing with others who are unsure of themselves can be frustrating today. Avoid trying to push for an answer or a decision, as it can be difficult to come by right now. As well, try not to take what appears to be criticism to heart. Consider that your own insecurities may prompt you to read what’s said in a negative way. Mental laziness is likely right now, so do what you can to treat yourself to down time or frivolous, mind-clearing activities. The Moon is in your solar ninth, and this position supports you by pulling your emotions above the ordinary and giving you a sense for the bigger picture. Minor missteps aside, this can be a time of dreaming up exciting ideas for the future.

Cancer

Your creative juices are flowing, dear Cancer, and you might be particularly flattering and attractive in your communications now. Even so, you may be in no mood to feel pressured or pushed into believing something you don’t yet understand. You are tempted to walk away from a problem or disappear temporarily until the vibes are easier. You’re vying for mutual trust now. Watch for a mind that is working overtime today, which can lead to an alarming lack of clarity. Overtime does not mean efficiency and in fact subtracts from it. Watch that you don’t muddle your conversations, make an offhand remark that could be damaging, or rush too quickly through important tasks. Nervous tension is much like a sugar high – while you can get a lot done, you can all too quickly burn out.

Leo

Life can be a little tricky today, dear Leo, as few people seem to be focused on the task at hand. You are not in the mood for playing up to superiors, and it may be better just to avoid them if you can. Power games with others will lead nowhere right now, but a serious talk may be necessary in the next few days. There can be a critical tone to conversations today that may seem offensive, but that is unlikely to be intentional. Rise above it as much as possible. This is not the most decisive of days for you, nor is it one for truly pushing your plans ahead. The agendas of others seem to take precedence now. However, today’s tension or changes of plans may very well push you into directions that you may never have considered, but that hold promise.

Virgo

Focus on the little things that need to be managed today, dear Virgo. Your mind is tuned in to flaws and imperfections now, but there is no need to fret over them if you also look for fixes and solutions. The pace quickens today and your ability to multi-task increases. Your interactions can take on an intensity you normally wouldn’t expect from casual encounters. You or another person may reveal something very personal and private, or bring up deep topics that are typically avoided. Be careful, though, about stirring up controversy. Watch for a tendency to take things too personally, and also watch that your own words don’t come off as criticisms.

Libra

Vague concerns and worries, even if you try to bury them, have a way of hanging in your aura today, dear Libra. Conversations and interactions can be slightly tricky, but manageable overall. You and others are sensitive, ready to pull away or resist if cornered in any way. You may be “on the fence” today, with worries and doubts interfering with your ability to make a solid decision. Try to shake it off so that it won’t ruin what could otherwise be a light-hearted, pleasing day. Enjoy the company of friends in order to get your mind off your troubles. Unwind as much as possible, as today you can too easily feel stressed.

Scorpio

This can be a good day for work and problem solving that doesn’t require high levels of emotions, dear Scorpio, but on social and emotional levels, you could be struggling with indecisiveness. A sense that you are not valued for the work you do is temporary and has more to do with your sensitivity than reality. Compulsive thinking now can cause confusion and an overly serious frame of mind. Vague worries likely stem from having too much on your plate, so you should aim to pare down your life accordingly so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. Do what you can, and “can” what you can’t. A partner may seem critical without intending to be, but if everyone cuts one another some slack, misunderstandings should be reversed quickly.

Sagittarius

You could be feeling pressured into saying something on a matter that you’d prefer to keep to yourself, dear Sagittarius, but it’s definitely not the best time to divulge sensitive information. Watch yourself for negative thinking, and/or the tendency for your conversations to be skewed towards complaints, criticism, and the like today. You are a positive person by nature, but today, without even intending to, you can come across as negative. Friendships may be a little strained right now, possibly because you are craving a deeper connection than you are letting on. Otherwise, changes of plans today can stimulate new approaches which ultimately lead you in a good direction. Keeping busy is easy now.

Capricorn

This can be a good day for exploring your rebellious side, dear Capricorn, but may not be as wonderful if you’re expecting things to go as scheduled. You could be feeling on edge, and you might be harboring some feelings of resentment towards people close to you, which can certainly be the source of your restlessness. Oversensitivity now can lead you on the wrong path, and you would be wise to keep in mind that your perceptions of people and circumstances are temporarily fuzzy, clouded by your own fears and insecurities. Emotional matters can intrude upon logical thinking, and over-analyzing feelings can also enter the picture. Generally speaking, there is some lack of clarity when it comes to facts and details, but more so with relationships and affections.

Aquarius

Emotional energy runs very high with the Moon in your sign all day, dear Aquarius. This makes you more vibrant and noticeable. However, conversations with a partner or friend early today can be on the delicate side, so do your best to keep an objective yet sympathetic frame of mind. It’s a fine day, however, for making observations about others and for learning about what make others tick. However, you may want to keep some of these to yourself, as there can be a tendency for take things the wrong way. Try not to put too much weight into what others say in absolute terms, and try instead to assume that their intentions are good. You are unlikely to be in the mood for work, finding that your mind very easily wanders. Try to take a nice break from the routine, if possible, to entertain yourself and stretch your imagination.

Pisces

With the Moon in the sign just before yours all day, dear Pisces, it’s a time for natural withdrawal on some level – a time to reflect upon, and digest, recent events. However, there may be some frustrations with a friend that can be difficult to quantify or resolve. It may be better to wait things out. Both personally and professionally, do your part to avoid misunderstandings, because it’s really all you can do. The Moon’s position in your privacy sector stimulates your need for extra time to yourself, rest, and reflection. Honor these needs as much as possible. Some meditation can certainly help right now!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 25th

Aries

The Moon moves into your responsibility sector early into the day, dear Aries, bringing your attention to professional and practical priorities. Happily, there is a Mercury-Saturn aspect forming, exact tomorrow but influencing today as well, that supports your efforts to prioritize and take care of business. It’s a strong time for limiting distractions and activities so that you can concentrate. It’s also a good period for focusing on one thing at a time, one step at a time. You can benefit from ordering and organizing your personal workspace.

Taurus

You can accomplish quite a bit on practical levels today, dear Taurus. Energies are best for focusing on one thing at a time right now, so set aside some hours alone, if possible. If a project or area of your life can benefit from some tidying, downsizing, or editing work, you may want to focus your energies on it. You are seeing things more clearly and have a good eye for detail. Romantic relationships and partnerships can be strengthened today by shows of reliability and security.

Gemini

The ability to organize, plan out, and edit is strong today, dear Gemini, and your focus on long-term benefits rather than short-term pleasure can help you prioritize and take care of business. You’re also appreciated for “being there” for someone or for being responsible and reliable. It can be a good time for gaining clarity in your personal life, and for making clarifications as well. This is a strong day for research and finding the information you need, but do watch for digging too deeply when it comes to personal matters.

Cancer

This is a strong day for getting a handle on some pesky little problems, dear Cancer, as you’re more patient and strategic in your thinking, and especially careful with your methods and overall approach. You can win the respect of elders or authority figures, and learn a little something from them today. Showing your humble side is favored now. It’s a good time to plan ahead. In your personal life, clarifications might be made without too much ado. You’ll appreciate dealing with straight facts, and fortunately, the day’s energies favor clarity.

Leo

It’s a good time to have a meaningful or practical conversation with someone, dear Leo. The day’s energies are not very spontaneous, but you may enjoy some level of routine as well as increased clarity today nevertheless. It’s a time for attention to details, building, planning, and organizing. You are more able to think of long-term benefits, and less concerned about short-term pleasures, and this helps you to approach your work and endeavors with patience. It also helps you to see your priorities, at the very least in the material world.

Virgo

Your words have more impact today and tomorrow, dear Virgo, and you generally possess more clout than usual. Today brings nice energy for self-expression, although you are of a somewhat more serious frame of mind than you typically are. It’s a good time for learning endeavors, speaking, and writing, especially if these things require special attention to details. You possess more self-discipline now, but you are also in more need of changes of scenery with the Moon now in your adventure sector, turning your emotional attention to dreams, ideals, and life experience.

Libra

This is a strong day for getting a handle on practical matters, dear Libra, but you’re also very focused on personal affairs, family, or home life. You would benefit greatly from concentrating on one or two tasks and making real headway. Priorities tend to be clearer today and tomorrow, and fulfilling responsibilities can be especially satisfying. You can also crave an overhaul or of sorts, or a reorganization, particularly on an emotional level or in your home environment.

Scorpio

You have a strong grasp of both traditions and trends today, dear Scorpio, and this helps you to make solid creative decisions that are also practical. It can also be easier than usual to convince others of the value of your ideas today and tomorrow, and in fact, your ideas can have quite the gold touch right now. You might settle into a routine quite willingly today, and productivity improves as a result. Your concerns tend to be about the long-term, which keeps you in a practical frame of mind and helps you to see priorities.

Sagittarius

The Moon moves out of your sign shortly into the day, dear Sagittarius, and into your resources sector. This tends to have the effect of settling your emotions and can turn your attention to more practical than emotional matters. It’s in fact a good time for getting a little more serious, concentrating, and attending to details, and this energy continues into tomorrow. Patience and precision are not generally associated with your sign, but today’s energies favor these things. You might decide to cut out some of the extras so that you can focus better on what needs to be done. For some of you, a partner or special friend can be especially supportive or helpful today and tomorrow.

Capricorn

With the Moon in your sign today, dear Capricorn, emotions are larger than life. It also gives you a sense of a new beginning on a personal level, and your Lunar Return to your Sun this month looks quite good. The Moon aligns with Pluto tonight, making it important, however, to focus more on dealing with core issues than spreading your attention around. Make an effort to hone in on essentials and let go of the rest as much as possible. Your personal appeal is strong today and tomorrow, and especially so when it comes to your ideas, communications, and intelligence.

Aquarius

You are expressing yourself especially clearly right now, dear Aquarius, and others are truly listening! It’s a strong time for performing tasks that require attention to detail, and for learning new methods or picking up new skills. Even so, honing or improving existing ones can benefit as well. The long-term is more interesting to you than immediate results, making it an ideal day for working on projects of value and for knowing your priorities. Your judgment is especially sound today and tomorrow. The Moon moves into your privacy sector shortly into the day, reminding you of the need to rest and/or reflect on an emotional level. This short period is good for slipping under the radar and seeking out more peace and quiet.

Pisces

Today is strong for sharing your thoughts with a special someone, dear Pisces. There need not be a solution to problems, but talking about them can certainly help. Even so, on practical levels, you are looking for answers, and you’re likely to find them. While routine might bore you on other days, you are able to see its value today and tomorrow, and might take some comfort in it. Today’s energies favor a step-by-step and traditional approach. Tried and true methods tend to be called for now.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 18th

Aries

With the Moon in your opposite sign all day today and tomorrow, dear Aries, you may not be at your energetic best, but your social life can get some much-needed attention. Your need for others, certainly, is enlivening. Don’t let insecurities and fears drive your behavior later today, as career or concerns about your responsibilities can sometimes take you away from the moment. It’s important to recognize your need for others, or to make adjustments to your plans in order to accommodate important people in your life. Let people you love shine – listen without using what you hear as a launching point for your own stories. Invest yourself in your relationships today.

Taurus

When the Moon visits the sign of Libra, as it does today and until Thursday morning, dear Taurus, you are more inclined to seek out balance in your daily routines and work. You tend to hone in on details, problems, and flaws, which can serve an excellent purpose if you use this Moon position to your advantage. If systems or structures in your life need some editing, fixing, or tweaking, now is a good time to pay them attention. This is not the time for big-picture thinking or ground-breaking creativity, but rather for practical application. A poor use of this transit would be to allow yourself to fret over small problems that you can’t or won’t fix. Today and tomorrow are special for communicating in positive ways with children or a love interest. People are opening up to you.

Gemini

All day today and until Thursday morning, the Moon in your expressive sector of romance and fun brings you out of your shell and ready to share, dear Gemini. This can certainly boost your mood, although at times you may be coming across more playfully than you’re feeling, and in this way you might set yourself up for hurt feelings or a sudden mood swing. If in the past few days you’ve been entertaining negative thoughts or acting from a place of insecurity, then today you may be a little too worried about gaining attention than you are of sharing your happiness with others. Otherwise, this can be a wonderful time for feeling that you’re moving forward and enjoying your life.

Cancer

Now is a natural time to spend more time with family or close loved ones, dear Cancer, or with yourself in comfortable settings – the more comfortable and familiar the better. You’re not as adventurous on an emotional level, but you are very courageous, particularly when it comes to protecting the people you love. If it’s possible, take a breather, reconnect with your roots, and build faith in yourself in the process. Another theme today involves a very nice rapport with a sibling, classmate, or even a neighbor and a nice ability to slip into someone else’s shoes. You can gain knowledge or some other form of power on an intellectual level today that brings rewards.

Leo

There is a tendency to throw energy around today, dear Leo, although it’s not necessarily a negative thing. In fact, it’s time to do some branching out, connecting, and learning about what’s going on around you. You’re at your happiest today with a little bit of variety – you’re not interested in lifeless routine right now. Your attention span may be a little short, particularly with distractions and concerns later today, but there remains a good chance of filling your need for more stimulation and variety. If you can fit it in, it’s a good day for learning something valuable or having a conversation about your money, resources, or talents.

Virgo

Your personal experiences and goals have been in high focus with the Moon moving through your sign in recent days, dear Virgo, but today, you’re more interested in slowing down in order to appreciate what you have. It’s more about building, rooting, and nesting than about innovation and excitement. You are in need of a more predictable and secure pace, and you’re attracted to earthy, simple, and sensual activities and experiences. Whether you’re productive or happily unproductive, whichever you are in need of most, this is a day for seeking out comfort and satisfaction.

Libra

The Moon is in your sign all day today and until Thursday morning, dear Libra, and this is a time to learn about your needs and desires, as they become very clear to you now. However, it’s also important to exercise patience, knowing that emotional needs may be experienced as far more pressing or urgent than they actually are. This is because your emotions are heightened today, and there can be some level of exaggeration. If you do choose to ask for what you want from others, you can avoid drama and misunderstanding simply by stating what you want clearly and confidently, and to avoid making assumptions about what others are communicating to you. You are regaining your initiative now, and can be quite spirited today.

Scorpio

You have been in demand recently, dear Scorpio, and you are now very much in need of some down time, extra time for arriving at decisions and conclusions, and more privacy. With the emotional Moon in the sector of your chart that works behind the scenes, you are a little less noticeable and more inclined to withdraw from the demands of everyday life. You may need more time than usual to process recent events and trust that it’s a natural time, today and tomorrow, for reviewing your feelings and finding ways to renew and refresh yourself spiritually. While there can be a tendency to brood if your needs remain unanswered or you are brushed off later today, you can reconcile these feelings and become more comfortable by tonight.

Sagittarius

Now is the time to ease back a little on professional and public matters and put more of yourself, emotionally, into more humanitarian or happiness goals, dear Sagittarius. Too much is too much, and the Moon’s transit through the twelve sectors of the chart in a month’s time teaches us to be moderate – the Moon spends only two to two and a half days in one sector of the chart. Today and tomorrow, focus on lighter, more social experiences. You can remain in rather high demand as you have been lately, but now more in terms of friends and acquaintances than for fulfilling responsibilities. Worries about having enough resources can interfere with your happiness at times today, but overall there should be a freer feeling now that supports you. Even so, it’s a good time for communicating with people in a professional capacity or about practical affairs.

Capricorn

Much of your attention turns to career and public life today, dear Capricorn, or your responsibilities and performance. Others are more aware of you, particularly in terms of what you have or haven’t done and less so on a personality level. In this way, you can feel as if you are under some pressure, or if it’s felt to be uncomfortable, you could feel judged. While you can be especially sensitive to this now, you also have the chance to turn this around by simply doing your best and answering to yourself. In this way, you regain power or control. As well, this can be a strong time for tending to your practical affairs, which is important and empowering on its own.

Aquarius

Today and the next few days, more outgoing, adventurous emotional energy is with you, dear Aquarius. You’re more interested in experiencing life without worrying about the particulars. Instead of nursing your worries and concerns, and possibly your suspicions as you’ve been inclined recently, nurse your needs for adventure and knowledge. You are more willing to move forward. A one on one conversation can be especially revealing. There can be a good feeling of fairness, of dealing with people as true equals, in your interactions today.

Pisces

When it comes to dealing with the deeper recesses of your personality, there is a general tendency to want to find a balance, dear Pisces, and this trait is strong right now. Consider spending time actually feeling and experiencing your deepest feelings instead of simply trying to sort them out. It’s not as tidy, but can certainly help get you in touch with what truly motivates and moves you. While you’re inclined to keep some things to yourself today, it’s a good time for connecting with someone mentally. A fair and balanced give and take can occur that leaves both parties feeling stronger.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 10

Aries Horoscope
With Mercury in your solar sixth house these days, there can be more mental work or menial tasks in your life, dear Aries, and sometimes the details of your everyday life can be all-consuming when Mercury is challenged. This can happen today – you might feel a little scattered. Watch for nit-picking and nervous tension! Stifling situations and activities that restrict you seem more plentiful these days, but today you could feel a little caged in. Watch that you are not making changes simply for the sake of change. Focus instead on making changes that move you forward.

Taurus

With Mercury in your creative sector these days, dear Taurus, there can be more drama, playfulness, and fun in your communications. Today’s Mercury-Uranus clash may stir up some problems, however, possibly from something you say or how you’re interpreted by others. A relationship could feel a little competitive. Even so, surprises can bring interesting insight into your true feelings or could prompt a mental detour that leads to positive change. You don’t have to take others into your confidence if you aren’t ready to, but be as honest as possible with yourself for best results now. This is how you truly learn and grow.

Gemini

The Moon leaves your sign this morning, and enters your solar second house, dear Gemini. This position of the Moon tends to steady your emotions or at the very least calm your sense of urgency to meet emotional needs. However, with your ruler in communication with Uranus today, the desire to shake things up or to effect change can be with you. Know what needs changing and why, or you could just be stirring up trouble. Freedom issues with friends and balancing your social life with family or personal time can figure strongly now. Friends or networks could stimulate new ideas or could completely change your perspective on a matter.

Cancer

The Moon enters your sign this morning, dear Cancer, bringing any emotions that you’ve been brushing to the side up to the surface. With the Moon in your sign, your own needs are your primary concern, and if you’ve been ignoring them, you could feel a bit of an emotional flood now. There can be a lot of mental energy with you these days, or much busy work that keeps you on your toes. Today, this can serve to go too far, make you tense, and possibly even disrupt your workflow. Watch for impulsiveness in your speech and in transit if you’re feeling stressed out. However, pay attention to new ideas, which may be raw for now, but quite creative and even inspired.

Leo

The Moon entering your privacy sector this morning lends you a somewhat withdrawn manner today, dear Leo. This is a natural time for pulling back from the more demanding or competitive elements of your life in order to get some peace and to reconnect with yourself. There can be some pressure from the outside, and this can stir escapist feelings. Tend to your own needs and the demands on you in as balanced a manner as possible, because ignoring either can bring up guilt or leave you feeling behind. There may be some tendency to fret or worry over money and valuables. For some, there may be technical problems to deal with, particularly related to travel, publishing, money, and personal possessions.
Virgo

With Mercury in your sign these days, dear Virgo, you can find that you’re busier than usual, and perhaps have more decisions to make that you feel you must make on your own. Today, Mercury forms a challenging aspect with Uranus – a mild one, but it could be just enough that you feel restless. The trick is to find where you need to change up the routine. Try to give your mind a bit of a break, if you have the chance to, by exploring a new interest or simply getting a breath of fresh air. Insight into your finances or something in your intimate, inner life can come now. You might experience a moment of truth, or of motivation to kick a bad habit and to live a freer, more joyful life as a result.
Libra

With Mercury in your privacy sector and Venus retrograde these days, dear Libra, it’s especially important to know when you are crossing the line from analyzing the past in order to improve the present, to obsessing over things you cannot undo. Try not to go overboard. Nervous tension is possible now if you can’t seem to turn your mind “off”. Reduce stimulants and simplify your day as much as possible. This is not the time to jump into something without first considering your options. If you don’t know where you’re going, it doesn’t matter how fast you go, so try to slow down. The Moon moves into your professional sector this morning, and this can stimulate a need to shine, improve, and perform.
Scorpio

The Moon moves into your adventure sector this morning, dear Scorpio, and this shift tends to pull you out of yourself. It’s a time for experimenting and dreaming. Mercury in your solar eleventh house these days stimulates inventive and progressive thinking, but with its hard aspect to Uranus today, this may be taken out of bounds. Watch for jumping forward with ideas that are undeveloped or speaking too soon about a matter. Instead of developing the skills you need now, out of a bit of boredom, you could be wanting to jump into something new, but this may only serve to add too much to your life to the point that you are stressed and stretched out. You may need to mix up your routines in order to feel a little more engaged.
Sagittarius

The normal, usual routine may not seem very appealing today, dear Sagittarius, particularly on a mental level, as you can be feeling hungry for mental stimulation and new ideas. However, with too much going on around you, you may not be able to fully appreciate these things if they do emerge. As well, you may be ignoring the work that needs to be done simply because it’s not appealing for the moment. Try to breathe new life into your current projects and priorities rather than chasing excitement that may only serve to bog you down or leave you feeling behind.
Capricorn

This is a good time for dreaming up big ideas, dear Capricorn, but not necessarily for their practical implementation. This shouldn’t, of course, stop you from thinking about possibilities. What you may want to watch for today, however, is chasing different ideas and experiences just because you are a little restless or bored with what you’re doing. Try to simplify things rather than taking on more. Also, impatience in your communications or transit can lead to problems now. Listen to your urges, but judge whether you may be drawing conclusions too quickly. New ideas can draw you in, but it’s important to know whether you truly have room to pursue a whole new project or interest, and if not, whether you can make room for it.

Aquarius

You can be especially attracted to new ideas and topics of study right now, dear Aquarius, but in so doing you may be losing a lot of time for the things you need to do in order for your life to run smoothly. Taking on new things without truly making room for them can add a lot of unnecessary stress to your life. Satisfy your need for change and mental stimulation today in small, balanced ways, by changing up your routine or approaching the work you need to do in different ways. Try not to jump into decisions today, and avoid hasty remarks, emails, texts, and the like. It can be so easy for you to get caught up in the moment or in your own excitement that you temporarily lose touch with common sense. The Moon moves into your solar sixth house this morning for a couple of days, and this brings good energy for health and work endeavors.

Pisces

You could be making a surprise connection now, dear Pisces, that shakes up your perspective or line of thinking. This might occur while taking part in activities revolving around finances, such as while banking or shopping. Avoid jumping into new projects, particularly money-making ones, however. While you’re itching to change your situation, risky moves are not advised for the moment. People around you may be a little unreliable now, or they might come up with unusual news. People may be challenging your ideas or simply changing your view of them.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 9th

Aries

This is a good day for positive gestures and making contact with others, dear Aries. There is a balanced approach to relating today that helps both you and your friends or loved ones feel subtly supported. On a romantic or creative level, you can have a simultaneous feeling that you’re moving forward and that you’re looking behind you. This can be confusing but do consider that it might also be helpful. Of course, living in the present is the best way to go, most of the time, but sometimes, it is useful to use both hindsight and foresight – today is good for seeing what needs to be left behind, and what you want from your romantic life in the future.

Taurus

You are drawn to simple and grounding activities today, dear Taurus. While you might continue to focus on body needs, attention, and pampering, emotionally you’re more patient and willing to concentrate on building rather than expecting your needs to be met immediately. This allows you to see what’s truly important. Today, logic and emotions mix quite beautifully, making it a good time for taking stock of what you have and considering ways to put these things to better use. This can include money, resources, and talents as well. It can also be a sensual, contented day in which you prefer to stick around home or familiar people and places.

Gemini

With the Moon in your sign and reaching out positively to the Sun in your communications sector and Uranus in your friendship zone, dear Gemini, you might find it easier than usual to satisfy your emotional needs. There is a stronger need for self-nurturing which shouldn’t be dismissed, but also good channels for expressing your emotions through writing, sharing, learning, and connecting with others. The Moon in one’s own sign can sometimes trigger feelings of being down if you are currently unhappy with how you are presenting yourself to others and/or how they are receiving you. However, today’s energies are generally easygoing and supportive.

Cancer

You may need extra time for yourself today, dear Cancer. This can be a good time to collect your thoughts, particularly if you are able to free yourself of distractions. Routine can bore you now, and you may need a change of scenery in order to get yourself into a better emotional state. You have so much to discover about your inner world, and today you might enjoy looking within. Even so, intuition is good for money or practical matters now. Your daydreams can lead you to important conclusions or ideas. Looking to the past is appropriate now, but it’s best to do so with the goal of keeping the best from it and putting the dysfunctional behind you.

Leo

This is a day when any unrest or longings you’ve been keeping inside on a social level can emerge, dear Leo, with a very good chance of making the connections you crave. You can see a friend in almost anyone right now, and treat others especially fairly. You may be drawn to making long-term plans, particularly those along creative lines, but also regarding travel and higher education or learning experiences. You can be especially adept at teaching or guiding others right now.

Virgo

The Moon’s presence in your solar tenth house all day, dear Virgo, can point to circumstances that call you to mature and grow. With the Moon at the top of your chart, you might also feel the urge to reach greater heights. You can accomplish a great deal on practical levels. Energies are best for focusing on one thing at a time right now, so set aside some hours alone, if possible. You are aiming high today, especially motivated to do your best and to shine. You might be able to draw upon past experience or uncover hidden information that furthers your cause.

Libra

The Moon’s presence in your sector of adventure and higher learning helps to lift your spirits, dear Libra, and tends to raise you above regular stresses and problems of your daily life. If you can take a detour from the regular routine, your mood tends to elevate. You take a stronger interest in new ideas, places, and people. You may be seeking clarity in your interactions and conversations with friends or networks. You are drawn to ideas and people who are unique or distinct in some manner.

Scorpio

You can learn a lot about yourself and others today, dear Scorpio, as your powers of observation, as good as they are on any day, are stronger than usual. You may be drawn to the hidden elements of what you’re seeing and experiencing now, and you pick up many important clues as you do. At the moment, it’s your career or responsibilities, and the relationships you have with people connected to these, that you can stand to learn much about. You are looking at relationships in an entirely different way, possibly from a place of more objectivity and less attachment, which allows you to better see how they help or hinder you. When it comes to major life plans, personal finances, and intimate relationships, you can benefit from some strategy. You can benefit from taking a step back and planning your next move.

Sagittarius

With the Moon in your opposing sign all day, dear Sagittarius, you are more aware of, or sensitive to, what others think about you and you are more adaptable and accommodating. This position generally gives you an extra boost on a social and romantic level. There can be a feeling of moving forward but also some attention to the past when it comes to your relationships. Material and mundane affairs assume less importance today, as you’re much more tuned into the people around you and creative ideas. However, your ruler, Jupiter, is changing signs in just two days. This yearly occurrence brings a subtle shift of focus, and for you, a general trend in which you pay more attention to work and career.

Capricorn

Giving others the benefit of the doubt can work magic at times, dear Capricorn, as it can motivate them to improve and it can make you feel stronger. Today’s energies are good for seeing power dynamics in relationships and using them to make empowering choices. Rapport is generally easier than usual today, and you may very well break down some walls in a relationship that can use it. This is also a good time for looking at a matter more deeply. Research can yield satisfying results. There can be an absorbing topic, subject, or activity that draws you in and keeps you pleasantly busy.

Aquarius

The Moon is moving through your solar fifth house all day, dear Aquarius, turning your attention to games, entertainment, love, and activities that allow you to express yourself and your sense of fun. This is potentially a nicely creative day. Relationships are a little complicated these days, but while you have a tendency to be looking to the past for answers, you’re also willing to look at things in progressive, new ways. Be sure to take any opportunity to do so while Venus is retrograde until September 6th. A person from your past could attempt to reconcile or connect with you this week.

Pisces

This can be a strong day for organizing finances, the home, and work environments, dear Pisces, as you have a good sense for how these things are connected in your life, and how important it is for you to feel on top of these things. Aim to make improvements and to enjoy yourself in the process. You could experience increased independence with work right now. In two days, Jupiter, your co-ruler, will enter your partnership sector and the sign directly opposite yours, launching a cycle that lasts over a year and that brings benefits into your life through or with other people. At the same time, you are finishing up a cycle in which work and daily routines have expanded.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 4th

Aries

Even disruptive events that might occur around now can ultimately turn out to be blessings in disguise, pushing you in new directions that benefit you greatly, dear Aries. There could be some worries about money, or fears about a relationship, however. You are especially resistant to anyone attempting to pressure, manipulate, or push their authority on you right now. The atmosphere can be a little bit competitive and feelings can be hurt. Taking the high road is definitely favored now. Frustrating circumstances occurring now can actually lead to positive steps towards improving your life.

Taurus

Today, your mood is a little serious and perhaps suspicious at times, dear Taurus. While your ruler, Venus, aligns with Jupiter, and this is a feel-good influence, it also forms difficult aspects to Pluto and Saturn, so that while events of the day are ultimately very good for you, it may not feel like it at first. Watch for clinging stubbornly to what you know. You could also be swinging from positive to negative thinking today. However, there is a stronger ability to understand where things have gone wrong in past partnerships or in a current relationship, and what to do to improve the present as a result. Saturn is reminding you to take responsibility for your relationships.

Gemini

With challenging aspects occurring today, dear Gemini, watch for a tendency for some people to be envious or devious. You or others around you tend to swing from intensity to coolness. Something hidden or buried can surface now, and it can be eye-opening. The day’s energies are not particularly stable, but this doesn’t mean there are no bright spots. By avoiding manipulative tactics and emotional game playing, you can rise above the difficulties. Be particularly vigilant with what you communicate today, which can be taken the wrong way.

Cancer

Today’s energies are a mix of play and work for you, dear Cancer, and finding the perfect balance between these two things can make for a successful day. Emotional energy is a little bit tense today, so keep your wits about you, and avoid undue stress over money or differences in values with a partner. Your idea of a good time can clash with that of a partner, or you might not be seeing eye to eye on styles of expressing affection. Don’t overlook opportunities to make adjustments and changes. Concern for future security ultimately helps you to focus on managing your affairs more effectively.

Leo

Tension can be thick today, dear Leo, as challenging aspects involving Jupiter and Venus in your sign continue today. Reactions today may lead to a confrontation of sorts, but with mutual respect in the mix, this can be a positive thing. If not, there can be problems with manipulative moves and fear-driven or compulsive behavior. This can occur with family or co-workers, or if you are worried or not fully recognizing or owning your ambitions, you may be dealing with these things in yourself. The past can hold answers to problems. Something buried can surface now, particularly related to health and work matters.

Virgo

Watch today for tensions with money, worries about your future, and concern about how your communications may have been conveyed, dear Virgo. However, do watch what you say, unless you’re prepared for a bit of controversy. Something buried or a past problem can surface or resurface. Flaws are extremely obvious now, and instead of letting this get to you too much, work on fixing things. Avoid getting frustrated if you notice that people around you are not as incensed about problem-solving as you are. Fix what you can and avoid stressing over the things that you cannot.

Libra

The Moon in your opposing sign all day today points to a stronger interest in your relationships, dear Libra, and concern about what others think of you. A disagreement over how money is spent may be part of the picture today, or you could find that others can seem a little controlling. Even so, there can be some hypersensitivity, and nobody can truly blame you with Venus, your ruler, involved in a difficult mix of aspects with other planets. Friendships or attention to your social life and long-term happiness goals may be in focus, but challenges can appear that remind you to tone things down just enough to get yourself back on solid ground.

Scorpio

Watch today for a tendency to overindulge, dear Scorpio, as an attempt to tame inner discontent. It can be just as possible that past excesses are now catching up with you and you want to make changes. There could also be an obsessive desire to find an answer to a question, but this can be a time waster. Solutions may very well be in the past if you examine it, as issues surfacing today are likely to be long-term ones. Try to avoid making provocative statements, or vague ones, for that matter, as they can be misconstrued as provocative! You seem to be in charge right now, but could be dealing with the mistakes of others.

Sagittarius

Your inclination is to go your own way and stick to it today, dear Sagittarius. There are some tense influences to deal with, which can stimulate resentments, but avoid letting these drive your behavior. You may be feeling a little claustrophobic or limited by circumstances or others, and your desire for freedom is stronger than usual. Restlessness, however, can really motivate you to make improvements to your life, such as through a new course of study. Try not to jump into anything just yet, but do listen to your intuition and aim to investigate things more closely at a later date when you’re feeling more grounded. People are certainly drawn to you today, but there can be complications in your interactions.

Capricorn

Avoid sensitive topics and the resulting power plays with friends, dear Capricorn, but do pay attention to any issues that might arise now, as they can point to important unresolved matters that may be affecting your present and future. It can be difficult to see eye to eye with someone.There can be unexpected demands on your time or responsibilities and dealing with things that are coming apart. However, you are also more clearly seeing what has limited you in the past and what may be necessary in order to improve in the future. Focus on basics that are out of whack now, and resolve to tackle new ideas that come to you today at a later date.

Aquarius

Saving the hardest task for last will keep your mind in a state of dread or overload, dear Aquarius, so aim to tackle the things you’ve been putting off first. Watch for a tendency today to take little things too personally, but also keep in mind that people around you are likely to be a bit moody as well. If you fear that you made bad decisions, recognize that you can put that behind you and start fresh. There can be frustrations over the balance between work and personal life now, which can in fact feel terribly off balance. Be sure to spend the time that you do have for yourself doing quality, useful, and meaningful things if you need to compensate.

Pisces

There is somewhat difficult energy with us this week, dear Pisces, and there is a tendency to take things too personally now. Challenging aspects can stimulate us to make important changes and improvements in our lives – we need them in order to grow – so resolve to take a lesson from whatever transpires now, particularly related to belief systems, personal philosophies, work, and self-limiting attitudes. You may very well swing from overly optimistic to unrealistically pessimistic outlooks now, and the truth is somewhere in between the two! This can also be true of stories you’re hearing from others now.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 2nd

Aries

You can feel exceptionally romantic or simply confident and expressive today, dear Aries, with a lot of activity in your solar fifth house. The energy is quite creative but a little volatile, so that there can be some ups and downs in how you’re perceiving things. It could be that a conversation that was well overdue occurs now, something that clears the air, or news stimulates a desire to reconsider pursuit of a goal. Some doubts could enter the picture later today and tomorrow, but these can serve to simply slow you down – it doesn’t need to stop you in your tracks. The Moon is in your retreat sector all day, encouraging you to take some time away from overly demanding or competitive situations.

Taurus

There can be an important conversation or news today that makes you quite hopeful about a family situation, or that serves to motivate you to push forward with domestic plans, dear Taurus. Some of you could be clearing the air about a past matter and seeing opportunities to put the negative elements of the past behind you, particularly in a relationship with a loved one. Be courageous now, even if someone seems to be putting a damper in your plans, or if you face criticism later today. While family is in sharp focus, you’re also very tuned in to friends, groups, and networking.

Gemini

Conversations can be especially progressive, enthusiastic, and spirited this morning, dear Gemini. You might have an overdue talk or something is said that helps to clear the air. Later today, however, you might be a little more guarded and could feel as if you’ve been misunderstood. Keep an open mind today, and look for opportunities to discover new interests. Friends can inspire you to think creatively or could help give you the courage to try something new. The Moon is in your public sector all day, encouraging sticking to the rules and tradition, and stimulating your ambition.

Cancer

There can be a strong focus of interest and conversation on business matters, money, personal possessions, and basic values today, dear Cancer. There can be good news or something that makes you feel especially confident and hopeful about the future, especially along practical lines. While energy is generally forward-looking and even electric at times, tonight and tomorrow, you might have to face a reality that at first disappoints you, but that should only serve to slow you down rather than halt your plans altogether. Slowing down can often help you to make important adjustments. Look for a middle ground in any conflicts you might have with a significant other. Spending may need to be reined in.

Leo

You have considerably more impact than usual today, dear Leo, and typically you already have quite a bit! You may be expressing yourself courageously this morning. Others are likely to receive you quite well right now, although generally speaking you should be watching the way you express yourself these days. Higher education pursuits can thrive. Finding yourself on the same (or similar!) page with a significant person in your life can be rewarding. A constructive conversation with a friend or associate can figure prominently today. Your need to be heard is significant right now and you can count on others listening. Draw on courage to assert your independence without alienating others. Later today and tomorrow, there could be a letdown or a sudden need to step on the brakes with a project if you’ve been pushing too hard.

Virgo

You might reawaken a topic from the past today, dear Virgo, or have new insight into an old issue. There can be a good feeling of purging or release involved with bringing something to light. Your inner world is animated, and you could have a strong sense that right now is the time to make important inner changes. New opportunities can emerge that turn your attention to matters behind the scenes. As the day advances, there could be some feelings of regret or fear that you’ve revealed too much, or you could discover that others are not very receptive to your needs. We are closing in on a Jupiter-Saturn square exact early tomorrow that can point to a hurdle to leap. Transportation, communication, or mechanical matters can slow you down or present delays.

Libra

Your social life can be up and down or quite animated today, dear Libra. Aim to be open to possibilities and to making changes related to a partner or friend. Self-expression comes easily now, and you may be developing decent rapport with people around you. Later today, there can be a temporary drop in confidence that leads to negative thinking or the second-guessing of recent openness. Use this as a time for examining your goals and perhaps making some adjustments to them, but before making sweeping changes, wait things out in order to come to a more balanced decision, as today can be up and down and rarely middle ground. Tomorrow’s Jupiter-Saturn square can stimulate a reality check, particularly along material or financial lines.

Scorpio

You might receive special attention today, dear Scorpio, especially in a professional sense. While in a general sense we tend to turn to the past for answers, today brings good energy for getting over things, living in the present and looking forward to the future, rather than dwelling on the past. New insights into your career path or simply a work project can emerge today that can truly propel you forward. Later today, something that’s communicated could be taken the wrong way, or you could be rethinking recent ideas or communications. Some of you might even feel a bit slighted. You may feel the need to make adjustments to how you approach others as a result. Take your time weighing pros and cons, but do consider all of your options. The Moon in your recreation and self-expression sector all day can help boost your mood.

Sagittarius

For much of the day, you can feel quite inspired, faithful, and trusting, dear Sagittarius. Good advice is circulating, and you may just as well receive or give it. You could in fact speak words of wisdom that inspire someone. There can be a strong temptation to speak about a matter or voice an opinion today. Later, however, you may feel the need to revisit plans or statements. While travel, romantic, or creative opportunities can be opening now, there can be some doubts later today that are temporary and can serve a good purpose if they slow you down enough to see an important detail that you previously missed. If they only serve to bring you down, take a second look.

Capricorn

You can be in an investigating frame of mind today, dear Capricorn, with a lot of activity in your solar eighth house. It’s up and down, however, so that while you can discover interesting new things, there can be something that brings you down or disappoints you now. Know your limits. Listen, observe, and process before jumping to conclusions. There can be a strong desire or an opportunity to speak about a private, hidden, or taboo matter today. You may be clearing the air now, and feeling some form of release as a result. Tonight, try to push yourself above your insecurities. If you let fear rule, you may miss an opportunity to get closer to someone. However, heed signs to slow down if you see them.

Aquarius

You may get quite an earful today, dear Aquarius. People in your life can be especially verbal, and you can be very supportive as you bring new light to a problem or good advice to the table. Generally favorable, forward-looking energy is with you, even if there may be a small struggle with a decision. Don’t let uncertainty or insecurity interfere with grabbing an opportunity to learn more about a person or relationship, or for meeting new people. The Moon, now in your solar second house, brings you down to earth. With Saturn energy heavy in the air, this week can bring reality checks, but you’re also in an especially practical frame of mind. You’re coming across very well today, and there can be a meeting of minds.

Pisces

Unusual and interesting elements on the job or in your daily routine can be in focus today, dear Pisces. Look for new ways of approaching your work or services, and for new or alternative health programs. Social elements might interfere with productivity today, or there could be some disappointment experienced later today as you face a reality about a situation. However, this shouldn’t destroy your confidence or motivation levels – you simply need to look for ways to work around roadblocks. The Moon is in your sign all day, pulling up previously buried emotions and increasing both visibility and decisiveness.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 22nd

Aries

You may be drawing up plans for organizing and beautifying your home environment now, dear Aries. Some of you could be coming into money or support. Family matters can be running quite smoothly right now, and conversations with those closest to you can be especially constructive. This is a strong day overall for family and home matters, financial planning, asking for a loan, or other practical activities that help you improve your personal or home life. The Moon in your relationship-centered solar seventh house all day puts you in an accommodating mood.

Taurus

The Moon in your work and health sector all day certainly stimulates a desire to take care of practical matters today, dear Taurus, and fortunately you have some help from the cosmos for making plans and dealing with details. Even so, it’s also a good time to have that important conversation, to make a pledge, or to share and receive advice, so be sure to make time for a partner or friends. Others may be stabilizing forces in your life now. Clear, logical thinking is the general order of the day, and you’ll be able to focus your mental energies very effectively, so if you have the option, choose a project that has long-term potential and work with it. It’s also a good day for clear thinking about a relationship.

Gemini

This is a potentially strong day for personal influence, dear Gemini, as well as for financial, work, and other practical matters. You are expressing yourself with authority. Plans can be made or refined on the lines of business or money-making ideas with great success. This is a time when you can be especially realistic about your practical affairs, and actually enjoy the process. A sense of purpose and direction is with you now. You are realistic in your thinking, if a tad conservative, and you can envision what needs to be done to put yourself into a better position of security, both with your personal finances and in your job.

Cancer

This is a time when you can be talking about your personal plans and feeling a strong sense of purpose and direction, dear Cancer. In fact, sharing your ideas or plans with trusted others can be especially constructive and can help fuel the flames of your own inspiration. A relationship can feel solid right now. Some of you could be making a commitment. You are more credible today. Others take note of what you say and any advice you may give, and part of your magnetic charm revolves around your maturity and ability to live in the here and now. It’s a strong time for asking for what you want and for presenting your ideas, and it’s especially good for making long-term plans. The Sun leaves your sign tonight, which puts less emphasis on your personality and more emphasis on what you own, need, and want!

Leo

Circumstances are such that you feel compelled to look inward for answers today, dear Leo, and you’re likely to find them! At the very least, it’s a time for drawing up plans and feeling more empowered by doing so. Some of you could feel a strong desire to talk about a private matter with someone trusted, possibly a family member. Support seems to be there for you, but you instinctively feel the need to get in touch with your intuition. Some of you could be offering advice to others, as you are feeling especially charitable and your ideas are useful.

Virgo

Self-improvement is a focus right now, dear Virgo, but the inspiration to do so is likely found in a friend. You are expressing yourself well, with authority, and others are listening. Even so, conversations are a two-way street today, and both parties can gain in the process. This is an excellent day for bonding with a friend or love interest, and it’s also strong for drawing up solid plans, particularly for long-term happiness goals. You are able to make a good educated guess about what you can realistically achieve, and you might decide to share your vision with others. At the very least, put your plans to writing – make lists as well as resolutions.

Libra

While the Moon in your sign today can stimulate your more impatient and impulsive nature, dear Libra, there is a wonderfully grounding energy to the day that helps to keep you in the here and now. This is a strong day for organizing, refining, or formulating plans on a professional line. Through a more organized approach, you are feeling a stronger sense of purpose and direction when it comes to your work, business, or finances. Getting organized on the home front can also figure strongly, and can benefit you in your work as well, freeing yourself up to concentrate on more worldly affairs. Listen to advice today. You have a greater ability to separate the wheat from the chaff. You may be doing things that earn you respect. This is a strong day for long-term career and financial planning, but also for anything that can benefit from structured thinking and concentration.

Scorpio

The Libra Moon today tends to draw you into your shell, dear Scorpio, and extra alone time can help you take advantage of the positive energy for making plans that is with you today. This could be a time for making solid plans to make a travel, adventure, or educational goal realizable. You have a stronger sense of purpose right now, and there is a real sense that your plans are “doable”. Inspiration can come from an email, a novel, or a conversation, and you can turn an idea into a plan, or feel inspired to go after a cherished dream. This can be a good day for making your intentions known and for communications in general. Expressing your opinion in a diplomatic yet firm manner can win you respect. You can get rid of annoying paperwork now, and it’s also a good time for a new course or learning process if you are so inclined.

Sagittarius

Support is easier to come by, if you need it, and financial matters can improve with planning and strategy, dear Sagittarius. Paying off debt, material or spiritual, can pay off in many areas of your life, as you feel freer and less burdened. Today, you can take some steps in so doing, even if it’s only something you talk about. A partnership can feel solid and reliable, and not boring in the process! Long-term financial planning can be very successful today. It’s also strong for research and investigation, as you are especially keen and able to spot details that you might overlook on another day. Discussion of personal matters can be rewarding, as you can bring a stronger level of logic and rationality to these topics without emotionality limiting self-expression.

Capricorn

This is a good time for collaborating with others and coming up with truly workable plans, dear Capricorn. You are coming across very well these days. Negotiations not only turn out well, they actually bring you to a better place. The key right now is to share the load. Capricorns can keep a lot to themselves, but today, benefits come from collaboration and sharing, smartly and within reason of course. Talks with friends or a partner can be very fruitful now, even if they are not especially colorful! It’s a better day for making solid plans and commitments rather than for expressing more romantic or flowery intentions.

Aquarius

This can be an empowering time, dear Aquarius, as you get your daily life and routines organized. Drawing up and talking about plans on the lines of work, your personal environment, and health can be the first steps towards a better lifestyle and a stronger sense that you’re in control of your life. This can also be a day in which you help someone out and feel stronger for it. You are especially gracious and charitable, particularly with your ideas and strategies. This is a fine day for asking for what you want as well as for recognition for your intelligence, skills, and the work you do. Your eye for details is pronounced and can be put to full use now in professional matters.

Pisces

A partner can be especially supportive now, dear Pisces, and might offer some very sound advice, so listen up! Alternatively, after processing information, your own conclusions are especially useful and practical. You are communicating with more authority. Creative plans drawn up now can be especially solid, and so can plans for travels and education. Romantic relationships can feel very balanced, steady, or supportive, although perhaps not especially demonstrative. Making something productive or profitable out of a hobby can figure now. There is more authenticity or simplicity in your presentation now, which endears you to others and makes you feel better about yourself. You are more able to see your efforts in a realistic light, and you can experience a strong desire to create something tangible. Promotion or self-publishing can be quite successful now.
