Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, September 17th

We long for a bit of peace today, but the simplistic Taurus Moon isn’t enough to resolve the cosmic tension that is currently pulling on us. Friendly Venus in relationship-oriented Libra opposes irrepressible Uranus in impulsive Aries, encouraging wild behavior that can appear reckless even if it’s fun. But we may be confused about what to do and what to say because assertive Mars forms stressful aspects with talkative Mercury and foggy Neptune.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You know what you agreed to do today, but you have a twinkle in your eye and may not be able to resist creating a bit of mischief, instead. You’re eager to take a risk and break out of your regular routine, even if you know it’s not the smartest course of action. Although your judgment isn’t very clear now, you still might try to justify your behavior. Ask someone you trust for another perspective before doing something you regret.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ruling planet Venus opposes electric Uranus today, wiring you for pleasure. But your intense desires can create an emotional short circuit when you realize that satisfaction is just out of reach. Your daydreams may be unrealistic, but it really doesn’t matter if you make your fantasy real or not. What’s important now is to give yourself permission to imagine what would bring you happiness if anything was possible.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might try to float through the day on a cloud of illusions, but an unexpected turn of events can shock you out of your dream state. Even if you’re able to field a curve ball at work or at home, you still might miss the significance of what is happening. Although you may be surprised by what happens, take the time to contemplate what the cosmos is attempting to tell you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although someone’s reaction to your request may not be what you expect, you should be able to take it in stride. You might be concerned at first because you don’t particularly like confronting the unknown, but even if you’re caught off guard today, you’re relieved to know the truth. Don’t let subconscious motivations trick you into pushing away the new information; integrate what you learn and change your plans before moving on.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be very excited about someone or something new in your life now, but you have a sneaking suspicion that your high level of interest won’t last. You may be cautious about letting go and enjoying yourself because it’s obvious that your sense of freedom will quickly run into limiting circumstances. Change is inevitable, but worrying about future responsibilities doesn’t need to interfere with today’s pleasures.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be put off by someone’s selfish behavior today and you could even be offended by other people’s lack of compassion. Unfortunately, you won’t likely be able to understand their actions because logic is not the motivating factor now. Unexplainable changes are to be expected if tension is stressing a relationship. Don’t overanalyze things; just respond with kindness and honesty. The storm will pass quickly if you remain flexible in your thinking.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is visiting your 1st House of Self and her opposition to radical Uranus in your 7th House of Relationships can awaken previously hidden desires or uncover something about your partner that you didn’t know. Instead of waiting for a friend to shock you with an unexpected revelation, take the initiative and be an agent of change. You will be happier now if you embrace the shift instead of resisting it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might wish that you could release your old expectations and express your feelings today as unconventional Uranus in your 5th House of Romance opposes loving Venus. But you may not know what you want; your emotions are slippery now, making it tough to choose a direct course of action. Nevertheless, you have a perfect opportunity to learn something important about yourself if you’re willing to relinquish control and go with the flow.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you wish a friend or partner would make a straightforward decision today, clarity may continue to be elusive. You won’t likely receive a yes or no answer now, requiring you to be satisfied with someone’s uncertainty. Don’t push for resolution because it may take time for the facts to emerge. It’s possible that other people’s ambivalence might be a reflection of your own, even though you believe that you have already made your choice.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could mistakenly believe that the solution to your current dilemma is in having all the facts, prompting you to gather as much useful information as you can. Unfortunately, you are not very cautious now, so you could jump to an incorrect conclusion that’s based on your desires instead of what is practical. Be smart and postpone any major decision until your energy settles down; your path should begin to clear in a few days.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desire for an emotional connection pulls you one way while your need for independence pulls another as your key planet Uranus stands off in a tense tug-of-war with sensual Venus. You may wish for more intimacy in your everyday life, but might keep others at a distance if you’re afraid of losing autonomy. Fortunately, a sudden breakthrough in your awareness can open your heart and change the dynamics of a relationship. Set aside practicalities and be flexible enough to respond to the magic of the moment.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be weary of the tension you feel in a close relationship if your perspective is challenged again today. You don’t like the idea of arguing with your partner; nor do you want to waste energy justifying your desires. Your needs are simple; you just want your heartfelt expression to be heard and acknowledged. This isn’t a time for ultimatums; just let others know what you need in a gentle manner and remain patient while waiting to see the results. The dynamics are shifting quickly and you just may receive what you want.

Your Daily Horoscopes for September 15th

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

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

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

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

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

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

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

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

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

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

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

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

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

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 14th

Sweet Venus shifts into objective Libra tonight, possibly bringing indecisiveness. Still, intuition is our best guide with the Moon visiting spontaneous Aries, making this a great time to initiate action. Her opposition to realistic Saturn prevents foolish behavior, while an optimistic Mercury-Jupiter trine exudes self-confidence. We realize that we have hard work to do and the sooner we start, the quicker we’ll reach our goals.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel moody now that the Moon is back in your sign, but you’re still able to accomplish a lot as long as you don’t let your emotional melodramas get in the way. It’s easy to become so enthusiastic that you quickly lose your sense of proportion. However, just taking time for a few deep breaths may give you enough of a break to remind you to be practical, even when you’re under the influence of an adrenaline rush.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may experience relief today, especially if you’re able to process negativity that has been lurking just out of sight. Still, you’re concerned if you cannot get all your feelings out into the open right away. However, your imagination can trick you into worrying about the wrong things now. Don’t waste energy obsessing about what you should say; instead, graciously accept that everything will surface at the right time. Fortunately, you have more time than you think.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your excitement is contagious today as your key planet Mercury harmonizes with expansive Jupiter; but all the enthusiasm in the world won’t help you get the job done unless you actually follow through with the required effort. An idea might sound so wonderful now that you react impulsively, only to be surprised when you run into obstacles that could have been avoided with forethought. Your work will have more impact if you slow down and take your time.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might freak out today because others expect you to jump in and assume control of a situation in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable. However, there may be too much at stake for you to resist, so fire up your self-confidence and just take charge. Even if you’re unsure of yourself, the timing is right and you will likely come through with flying colors if you’re willing to take a chance and believe in yourself.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It appears as if nothing will stop you today, but you may need a reality check if you don’t maintain a healthy sense of proportion. Your tendency is to blast ahead now with innocent confidence, yet your blind optimism can lead to trouble. It’s better to see the roadblock (or the cliff) before it’s too late to do something about it. Preventive action is always better than crisis management.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are super-confident today as rational Mercury creates a fluid trine with buoyant Jupiter. You may believe that nearly anything you set your mind to is within reach. But caution is advised because you can miss a critical piece of information if you already believe you know the facts. Positive thinking can be a major asset now as long as you balance it with a healthy dose of reality.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It seems to be your job to make nice, especially if a friend or partner is upset or angry with someone else. Fortunately, you’re skilled at helping others move past their personal issues so they can establish common ground, rather than intensifying apparent differences. Although the wisest strategy may not be obvious at first, Venus shifts into your charming sign today, enabling you to put everyone involved at ease.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A change in your daily routine sounds exciting today and you’re eager to shake things up just to create a little drama. However, you might underestimate the impact of your actions on others now as trickster Mercury and jovial Jupiter spread their optimism. Be careful; your current buoyancy won’t be enough to smooth over someone’s hurt feelings if you aren’t tactful in your approach. Find a creative outlet for your restless energy, instead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are probably feeling pretty good about your job today as a confident Mercury-Jupiter trine activates your career houses. But your impetuous style might backfire if you move too quickly. Your reality filter isn’t working very efficiently now, causing you to see what you want instead of the truth. Getting carried away by the exhilaration of the present moment can be quite uplifting if you remember to keep one foot solidly planted on the ground.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could be pulled off course today by an urgent need to focus on your home and family. Perhaps starting a constructive conversation is all that’s needed. Although you might insist that you’re ready to make a long-term commitment, you aren’t as certain as you sound. Don’t take on any additional obligations until you find a healthy balance between your desires for immediate gratification and your ambitious future goals.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you might think you have already reached your limit, the pace of events picks up another notch today. You can jump from one task to another, leaving a trail of loose ends behind you. Rather than setting unattainable goals, give yourself permission to take as much time as you need. You may be pleasantly surprised with how much you can accomplish once you slow down and center yourself.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Think again before you make any impulsive purchases today because you could act irresponsibly with your money. The temptation to buy something foolish can create problems, even if you don’t see the truth of the situation yet. Just remember that your thinking isn’t very clear now, so wait a few days before needlessly jeopardizing your financial position.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 13th

The Moon powers her way into courageous Aries at 2:49 am EDT, infusing us with a new wave of energy. Her conjunction with electrifying Uranus sparks lightning bolts of awareness, lighting up the darkness and revealing previously hidden secrets. The Moon’s square with transformative Pluto deepens our feelings and can create an emotional impasse. An irritating Venus-Neptune alignment early tomorrow morning confuses our dreams with reality.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions are running amok now that the Moon is hooking up with crazy Uranus in your sign. You want to experience the extreme intensity while somehow simultaneously acting cool. However, you can’t play it both ways, even if it seems like you must give up something when you choose one or the other. Logic only takes you so far today, but going beyond words and trusting your instincts could put you back on track.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You truly want a romantic relationship to work out today, even if you have to face an old issue that you prefer to avoid. You realize that you can’t hide your head in the sand any longer, even if you thought that you would be able to take the easy way out. Fortunately, handling your fears won’t be as tough as you thought. It’s much more difficult to pretend that everything is fine when it’s not.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can sense a powerful shift in the cosmic weather today as the clouds of illusion are chased from your inner skies. You are ready to get to the bottom of something that has bothered you lately, but the answers you receive won’t likely be the ones you expect. Don’t be shocked by what you discover now. Even though persistence doesn’t come easily to you, it will pay off.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Something is motivating you to share more than you expected today, even if you know that you should say less. Unfortunately, once you open your mouth, closing it becomes much more difficult. It’s helpful to remind yourself throughout the day that you don’t have to tell your whole story all at once. Reacting slowly and deliberately will get you further than speaking too soon.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s time to move past old hurtful memories so you can be open to the joy that’s recently found its way into your life. However, this doesn’t mean that you should just forget about your previous experiences. Setting aside your feelings is not a sensible strategy because you’ll only end up being irritated without an obvious reason. Ultimately, your willingness to be open-minded can lead to an exciting emotional breakthrough that can shake up your outlook on life and send you off in a new direction.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be trying to deepen a business or personal relationship now, but could run into a totally unexpected response from the other person. Even if you are open to surprises, it’s challenging when things don’t fit into a neat and tidy package. Fortunately, this won’t become a problem unless you make it one. You’re at the start of something new, so allow the energy to flow naturally rather than frustrating yourself by wishing the tides would follow your schedule.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s shift into your 7th House of Partnerships increases the stress in relationships, especially if other people seem overly pushy today. You may be tempted to withdraw to protect yourself emotionally, but this strategy only increases your sense of isolation. Instead of shutting out others now, try to understand their point of view. Once you can see things through someone else’s eyes, you can establish common ground, enabling everyone to feel better about the situation.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The feisty Aries Moon dynamically squares your key planet Pluto today, stirring up raw emotions that can suddenly erupt. But you don’t want to escalate a conflict now; you simply prefer to get to the source of your anger so you can process your feelings and move on. Fortunately, you are motivated to do so once you realize that holding on to the past will only bring you unhappiness, even if there’s a bright future beckoning just ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are already anticipating good things just around the bend, but the future cannot arrive soon enough for you. You have plenty of responsibilities to fulfill today before you can head out to play, but you’re ready to leave them until later if something interesting comes up. Fortunately, you should be able to grab the fun and excitement in the present moment as long as you remember to finish your chores once you return.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not be ready for the speed of change now as the Moon meets up with unpredictable Uranus. You have a choice to make that can affect your whole day. Either let the pressure get the best of you by fearfully worrying about something you can’t control or consciously turn your frown into a grin, knowing that change is on the way whether you want it or not. Don’t expect a miracle, but remember that your positive attitude and flexibility can turn a tough day into a positive one.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may think that you have everything under control, something happens today that forces you to see the world differently. Instead of trying to keep up with your busy schedule, it may be more sensible to let it fall apart and then piece things back together once the chaos clears. It’s too late for preventive medicine now; just be ready for change and let the chips fall where they may.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if you’re being pushed into the future against your will. It’s not that you’re resistant to progress; it’s just that you have grown comfortable with the status quo and you’re not yet ready for it to slip into the past. Keep in mind that your fear of what’s coming next may be more problematic than the actual challenges you will face. Don’t worry about the unknown; there’s nothing you can do about the future until it arrives.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Sept. 12th

Today’s psychic Pisces Full Moon at 5:26 am EDT reactivates our intuition, reminding us that logic isn’t required now to reach an intelligent conclusion. But her opposition to the rational Virgo Sun brings us back to the importance of thought. We are capable of perceiving emotions but language is still necessary to communicate our experiences to anyone else. This conflict can be a catalyst for larger issues that will take much longer to resolve.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Pisces Full Moon brightens your 12th House of Divinity, but you aren’t ready to go on a vision quest. Instead, fight off your fleeting flights of fancy and head off to your job where you can put your great ideas to practical use. Remember, the more information you can keep track of at work, the better it will be for you now. Fortunately, if you apply yourself diligently, you’ll have time for more spiritual pursuits later.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Today’s imaginative Pisces Full Moon is in your 11th House of Friends, Hopes and Wishes, luring you into social situations that allow you to feel safe enough to express your private thoughts and tentative plans about your future. Surround yourself with your best friends so you don’t have to worry about the practicality of your dreams in order to share them.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current obsession with success is reflected in your intense dreams about your career. But it’s difficult to be realistic when the otherworldly Pisces Full Moon shines in your professional 10th House. Nevertheless, if you want to make progress today, use your common sense to navigate your course instead of relying on your intuition to find your way.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The watery Pisces Full Moon shimmers in your 9th House of Adventure, luring you to swim beyond your current boundaries. Rather than thinking of reasons why you shouldn’t take a risk, make this an exercise in writing your own ticket for a fantastic voyage. Just don’t plan too far ahead; even the most amazing journey begins with a few small, careful steps.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be struggling as you try to figure out the easiest way to attain the level of intimacy you so intensely desire in a relationship now. You’re able to feel the energy, but don’t necessarily have a workable strategy to put it all together. Skip the details; just get the big picture embedded in your brain today. You can return to your plans later in the week to fill in more specifics.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may believe your logic is bulletproof and that you can talk your way through nearly any situation. However, if you encounter resistance today, don’t let on that you have all the facts because others might not be convinced. They are not interested in your careful analysis at this time; all they want to know is the bottom line.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Sun is hiding in your 12th House of Secrets, so you may want to share a long lost dream with someone special. If you can’t recall the details today, try sinking into your subconscious to recover them. Don’t expect a treasure map with directions to suddenly appear. The Full Moon is in your 6th House of Work, indicating that you’ll need to conduct a methodical search to find your truth.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You won’t need to go out of your way to make plans to have a good time as today’s imaginative Pisces Full Moon illuminates your 5th House of Fun and Games. Your positive attitude is so strong that you believe extra preparation won’t be necessary. Fortunately, this assumption works in your favor; you can make it up as you go. Just remember to watch the time or you could miss an important appointment later in the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may receive some notoriety today with the hardworking Virgo Sun shining in your 10th House of Public Recognition. But the Full Moon is in your 4th House of Home and Family, so you might try to avoid the spotlight now. Unfortunately, you could regret your actions if you sidestep any well-deserved acknowledgment, so do whatever is necessary to overcome your uncharacteristic shyness so you can put on a show that others won’t forget.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are very methodical as you develop a strategy for the months ahead. But the confusing Pisces Full Moon is in your noisy 3rd House of Immediate Environment, so you might not be effective today when attempting to put your plans into motion. Don’t promise more than you can deliver now, for whatever schedule you commit to will likely need modifying in a day or two when things quiet down.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may not be very careful with your money today, for the fuzzy Pisces Full Moon Pisces reflects the sunlight in your 2nd House of Personal Resources. You could be sloppy with your calculations or you might even start off with a wrong assumption. Naturally, it’s not wise to procrastinate if your finances need immediate attention. Focus on the necessary details and postpone the rest.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s Full Moon falls in your compassionate sign, challenging you to be extremely clear as you establish necessary boundaries and limits. You might feel driven to rescue every wounded animal, plant or person you encounter now, yet this could derail your personal plans. Wanting to help anyone less fortunate than you is surely an admirable trait as long as you don’t take it too far.

New Moon Report for Sept. 12 – Full Moon in Pisces

Full Moon in Pisces

Monday, September 12, 2:27 am PDT, 5:27 am EDT

The sensitive and idealistic Pisces Full Moon’s opposition to the Sun in practical and particular Virgo is an encounter between feelings and facts. We may be emotionally overwhelmed by obligations or insecurities if the workload is too great or standards are ridiculously high. This lunation increases the potential for creative inspiration, spiritual breakthroughs and moments of awareness that allow us to leap over petty problems. A broader understanding of our higher purpose and acting with more compassion could make this a watershed event.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Sept. 10th

We need to talk about old hurts and pains today as Mercury the Messenger tensely opposes Chiron the Wounded Healer. Sharing memories can be cathartic but may also add stress to a current situation. Meanwhile, the quirky Aquarius Moon hooks up with confusing Neptune, making it hard to know what’s true. Thankfully, the Moon enters imaginative Pisces at 3:26 pm EDT, putting a kinder and gentler spin on a day that may start out on the rough side.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be stymied today because you want to share what you’re feeling, but the current circumstances may require you to wait. Logically, you can understand why it’s wise to keep your emotions to yourself, yet you are tempted to bend the rules and say more than is necessary. Remember, it’s probably better for everyone involved if you don’t act impulsively at this time.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t prepared to say exactly what you are feeling today because you don’t want to add to the current drama. However, you’re still eager to demonstrate your love and are able to do so in a manner that won’t make anyone uncomfortable. Of course, taking a risk by telling someone about your heart’s desires can be rather scary, so don’t reveal too much too fast.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have plenty of words right at the tip of your tongue today, even if you’re talking about tender feelings that you don’t normally share. A combination of circumstances enables you to be secure now, so you are more willing than usual to take an emotional risk. Don’t waste too much time worrying about how others will respond. A discussion should unfold naturally as long as you’re not too dramatic in your delivery.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may want to step out of the spotlight today, but chances are you will still receive your fair share of love and admiration, anyway. But trying to hide is just one way to waste precious energy. Push beyond any embarrassment you feel about being the center of attention and graciously accept the positive vibrations that now come your way.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Creating emotional boundaries today gives you a safe place to retreat from the big world. Normally, you’re eager to put your feelings on the line, without even giving it a second thought. However, your emotions are raw now, and you’re not in the mood to share them with everyone. Keep in mind that you don’t need to justify your actions; it is always within your power to choose whether or not to talk about your inner process.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is keeping you busy analyzing your insecurities, but your logic can run into walls today as wounded Chiron enters the picture. However, your emotions may be integrated into your overall game plan now. Your friends are likely to respond warmly if you share what’s on your mind, but they may be reflecting your current eagerness for affection. Make the most of the positive Venus-Mars aspect by connecting with friends and family, but don’t expect too much in return.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may try to avoid being in the public eye today, yet the rewards from your previous work could follow you around and turn the spotlight on you anyway. Even if you’re being recognized and appreciated, you would be more comfortable if everyone was receiving acknowledgment and not just you. But rather than diverting the attention back on others, just say thank you while proudly enjoying the moment.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t in the mood to be the one who puts everything together today. Instead, you want to be pleasantly surprised when you discover that someone special has a dinner or a whole weekend planned especially for you. Although you crave adventure, romance and fun, spending your time waiting for the magic to happen isn’t a viable strategy. Don’t minimize your current choices; take responsibility for your half of the deal.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Feelings of discomfort or anxiety can catch you off guard today if your emotions become more intense than usual. Energetic Mars is in timid Cancer and your 8th House of Intimacy, preventing you from sharing your romantic insecurities. Don’t get hooked into believing that someone is going to rush in and sweep you off your feet. A healthy dose of realism can prevent your day from turning into a major disappointment.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have a friend or lover who is so shy that he or she won’t let you know what’s going on today. Don’t make any assumptions about how much others like you, for you might miscalculate your popularity now. Luckily, romantic Venus in your 7th House of Relationships is setting a sweet and sensual tone for the weekend. Go ahead, make the first move and see what happens.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are on edge now as your natural high-frequency energy is impeded by inconvenient feelings that are rising to the surface. Although sidestepping your emotions isn’t always a good idea, remaining rational makes more sense today so you can focus on practical issues. Anything that draws your mind to the present moment can also act as a shield against someone else’s drama.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Flirty Venus and sexy Mars are quite active today in your 5th House of Romance and your 7th House of Partners, increasing your desire to spend special time with someone you love. However, don’t increase the complexity by dreaming and scheming for the future. Instead, live as joyfully as you can in the here and now.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, Sept. 8th

The Moon’s shift into intelligent Aquarius at 5:42 am EDT stimulates our nervous systems and increases the frequency of our thoughts. Although the airy Aquarius Moon reflects our need to find concepts that encompass our current experiences, it may be difficult to think clearly today as mental Mercury tensely opposes imaginative Neptune. Mixing the facts with fantasies may be entertaining, but can lead to big trouble if we’re not careful.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You often push boundaries without even realizing it when you get excited about something new. However, today’s enthusiasm might be more about what you say than what you do with talkative Mercury in the spotlight. The problem is that you may not be on target with your idea, even though you think it’s a good one. Don’t be so cocky that you make incorrect assumptions. Be patient, review your plans one more time and proceed slowly.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your career goals may seem more tangible than they actually are with the most unrealistic ones right at the tips of your outreached fingers. On the plus side, you can believe an impossible dream is so real that your legendary persistence makes it so. But on the other hand, it’s easy to become complacent by convincing yourself that you’re close to your destination when you’re not. Use your common sense before wasting any more energy pursuing a pipe dream.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Higher Education prompts you to reconsider an old plan you had to return to school. Remember, it’s wiser to study a subject that expands your mind and widens your perspective beyond your old way of seeing things. But make sure that you don’t jump to conclusions or even something as simple as a weekend getaway can turn into a comedy of errors. There’s no rush to make a final decision, so give your ideas enough time to develop before doing anything rash.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s a lot safer to keep your unexpressed emotional desires to yourself now, for your surprising intensity can be unsettling to someone else. Unfortunately, you still must take a chance if you want to experience new levels of intimacy with someone that you trust. Revealing your vulnerability is not without its danger; thankfully, the benefits now outweigh the risks.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be afraid that something magical could slip through your fingers today, but no amount of logic can help you figure out a sensible strategy to stabilize your position. Attempts to understand a relationship that eludes comprehension can be quite frustrating. An approach based upon analysis will only bring you back around to the same old dissatisfaction that you’re trying to escape. Let go of your desire to discover any truth other than what’s already in your heart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have an opportunity to impact your physical well-being now by simply changing your attitude. The Moon’s current visit to innovative Aquarius and your 6th House of Health helps you focus your energy toward self-improvement. The powerful effect that positive thinking can have on your life today should not be underestimated. In fact, it just may be the key to a happier and healthier you.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could easily fall in love today, with the Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance, yet ironically, your feelings may not have much to do with the people in your life. You are more open to the possibility of romance, whether or not you’re willing to express your desires. Since a current infatuation could be the result of your daydreams, you really don’t require anyone to act out your fantasy. If no one’s there, just go ahead and enjoy the fruits of your imagination.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You think you know how a domestic situation is going to play out over the next few months, especially if you have recently been re-evaluating your long-term goals. However, it’s challenging to know what to do because your future still seems like a fantasy and the details of how it will unfold are elusive. Don’t try to make up your mind now; instead, give yourself permission to dream without attempting to make anything real yet.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Communicating your plans can be frustrating today if you want others to become involved in your project. You may have a lot of information at your disposal, but most of your current data probably lacks substance. Normally you’re quite comfortable floating in the realm of abstract ideas because you’re a natural philosopher. However, your need to reach a concrete goal now is in conflict with your dreamier thoughts. Nevertheless, making a commitment to something specific will have positive consequences.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your ego can get blown out of proportion today as others motivate you to reach for your dreams. Obviously, self-confidence is useful, but too much optimism can annoy those who might otherwise be your allies. Moderating your grandiose thinking with modesty can be a wise strategy. A healthy perspective on life can make all the difference between your success and failure.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to review your recent commitments and reconsider what you can actually deliver today, for you might have promised others too much. You didn’t intend to mislead anyone; everything is just taking longer now than you expected. You may be tempted to quit, but overreacting isn’t a good idea. Take a few deep breaths, re-evaluate what is possible and let others know what they can expect from you at this time.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It may be an uphill battle to control your dreams today because they are overflowing out of your sleep and right into your waking life. Obviously, this can be quite confusing if you attempt to rationalize your feelings when your emotions are being fed by unconscious urges. If you’re unsure about what to do, step back a bit until your path becomes clear. A temporary retreat is a better strategy than making believe that you can tell what’s real.

New Moon Report for Sept. 8th – Mercury in Virgo

Mercury in Virgo

Thursday, September 8, 10:59 pm PDT, Friday, September 9, 1:59 am EDT

Mercury’s return to its earthy home sign is conducive for restarting activities that may have been stopped or delayed when the messenger planet turned retrograde in Virgo on August 2. Mastery of details and precise communication are assets that are useful for resolving knotty problems. Careful study and concentration will increase technical proficiency, which is especially valuable in this super-efficient sign.

General Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 7th

Today is a cosmically quiet day without significant planetary aspects, giving us a bit of breathing room to integrate the recent changes before the next wave hits. Although we might have extra time on our hands, we may be confronted with issues that we previously tried to avoid. The steadfast Capricorn Moon settles our intense feelings as she separates from yesterday’s conjunction with dark Pluto and harmoniously trines the practical Virgo Sun.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Being overly concerned about how others see you isn’t your normal style, but the cautious Capricorn Moon in your 10th House of Status requires you to be on your best behavior now. You must proceed carefully, for your natural inclination is to talk before you think. Thankfully, your intuition should show you the most practical course of action, which is exactly what you need.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Everything appears to fall into place today, but, unfortunately, you still may not feel completely at ease. Although it’s reassuring that your life has settled down sufficiently for you to have some time to relax, you might think that you’re missing something important now. Don’t worry about anything that’s not concrete. Focusing on reality rather than your anxiety is your best preparation for whatever might occur next.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Accept the support of your closest friends and family today, for they will supply the solid foundation that you might lack on your own. The help you need now isn’t about money; it’s about knowing that others have faith in you and in what you’re doing. Don’t wait for someone to offer assistance; ask and you shall receive.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be more content with listening to what others want without feeling the necessity to fix anything today. You can be sweet and caring, but it’s more important now to fulfill your obligations and make time to meet your own needs, instead. Remember, you will have more to give later on if you feel satisfied yourself.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

No matter what you feel today, it’s best to stick to your regular routine as closely as possible. However, you still must remain flexible enough to handle changing circumstances because unexpected situations may arise that pull you off your normal schedule. Don’t be overly rigid when responding to a surprise; instead, just return to the safety of the tried and true as soon as you can.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon brightens your 5th House of Self-Expression, reflecting your current need to tell someone how you feel, especially if there is a romantic attraction. You would prefer to let your love light shine all the time, but sometimes you turn it down low so you can be of service to those who need your help. Now, however, don’t deny your desires; let your heart guide your way.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might prefer to hide away at home today, out of sight from the real world. Unfortunately, your little mini-retreat may not work out so well because you still have to go to work or run errands. Being productive is admirable, but don’t be afraid to honor your own needs, too. Finish what you start quickly, so you still have some time left over for relaxation later in the day.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You really want to do something special with your friends or family today, but are hesitant to schedule too much into your day. If you’re busy, you may be resistant to the idea of doing more, yet you’re likely to enjoy yourself once you get into the flow of events. Don’t procrastinate; the sooner you put your calendar in order now, the smoother everything will go.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you aren’t in conflict with someone else today, you are probably arguing with yourself. Your thoughts could be leading you around in circles; even if you attempt to stop the inner dialogue, it seems to have a mind of its own. Regain your emotional balance by allowing your mental meanderings to continue without trying to push them away. Paradoxically, once you try to exert control, the cycle restarts for another round.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your strong resolve to follow your agenda is being severely tested today and you’re ready to bury your feelings if you think that they might get in the way of your progress. Unfortunately, denying your emotions only postpones the inevitable; your repressed energy will come out sooner or later. If tension does escalate, however, the expression can be much more difficult. It’s healthier to deal with the consequences as they occur and then let them pass.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might not be telling the whole truth about what’s happening today because your desire for self-sufficiency encourages you to keep your feelings secret. You don’t have a reason to show your vulnerability, which could restrain the intensity of an emotional interaction. There’s no right or wrong way to approach a situation now as long as you keep your heart open and act with kindness.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can count on your friends to come through for you today as the Moon visits your 11th House of Social Networking. Your desires are pretty basic, and thankfully you should be able to get what you want. Ironically, others may not be very demonstrative now, but you still won’t have any doubt about their love and support. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need because you’ll likely receive it.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 6th

The judgmental Capricorn Moon reminds us that we have serious choices and that it’s wise to take the time to evaluate our alternatives. Whatever we say or don’t say has consequences and we try to get ahead of the curve by calculating what will happen next. The powerful early morning Moon-Pluto conjunction intensifies our feelings, but still we lean toward taking risks today as courageous Mars forms a creative quintile with overconfident Jupiter.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have good intentions, but you may have trouble keeping quiet today. You might even know that what you are about to say really should be left unspoken, but you could blurt it out anyway in a moment of excitement. Obviously, once your words are out in the open, you can’t take them back. Of course, honesty is the best policy, but remember to think before you speak and to always be kind in your delivery.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can perceive things that you would ordinarily miss on other days, prompting you to be a bit more intense now than usual. You’re sure that your conclusions are right and could easily take it upon yourself to help others see the future just as you do. But there is danger in assuming that there is one single outcome and you already know what it is. Be smart and entertain all possibilities before fixing on only one.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are spinning a lot of wheels in your head, but it’s probably wise to keep most of your thoughts to yourself today. Your ideas are likely quite good, but everyone will assume your thinking is scattered if you keep changing your plans, rather than just following through on your established agenda. Fortunately, you can still be more effective than anyone expects once you do make a final decision because you won’t let up until you reach your goal.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

If you get caught up in an emotional melodrama today, it would be wise to stand back from the situation in order to reassess your involvement. If you decide that it’s really not your business, withdrawing your energy is your safest move. However, if participating in this conflict is necessary, at least try to detach yourself from any specific outcome. For now, you will be more valuable if you use your head instead of your heart.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today you may become irritated at someone or something that doesn’t usually bother you, yet you can’t quite put your finger on the source of your annoyance. Someone may bring up a subject that stirs a deep issue you have been trying to avoid. Now it’s time to face the music. Thankfully, your previous angst will begin to dissipate if you can get your feelings out in the open.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be disappointed in yourself if you fall short of someone’s unrealistic expectations. However, you won’t likely sit around long enough to take the heat for something that’s beyond your control. You are too results-oriented now to waste time in self-pity or self-doubt. Figure out what went wrong, make a better plan and try again before you lose motivation.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s likely that you’ve already started to feel the emotional intensity waning; however, this doesn’t mean that your opinions will become any less extreme today. You could be unusually adamant about what you know to be true and might be uncharacteristically impatient with someone who attempts to change your mind. Fortunately, this is a chance to practice listening extra carefully to what others say without necessarily agreeing with any of their conclusions.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel overwhelmed as Mars in your 9th House of Future Vision quintiles excessive Jupiter, making it easy for you to take on too much. Additionally, the Sun’s fateful septile to Mars indicates that something unexpected can happen that could ultimately require you to change your travel schedule. Thankfully, you’re able to clear the air by saying what’s on your mind. Others will hear your message if you are honest and don’t attempt to blame anyone else for your current predicament.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can see through the excuses of those around you and your incisive observations could make them quite anxious today. Unfortunately, you could be correct in your assumptions yet still make matters worse by bringing up a touchy subject in an abrupt or inconsiderate manner. There’s no need to avoid an important discussion as long as you steer clear from any form of judgmental behavior. Your open-minded approach puts your associates at ease and also enables them to put aside their own self-righteousness.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be the proverbial go-to person because you usually seem to know what’s going to happen. You might have a strong grip on reality now, which does increase your sense of authority. Don’t mistakenly assume that your vision is the only answer just because you can navigate your way into the future. Accepting that multiple solutions are possible will earn you even more credibility with your workmates in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have your own objectives today, yet the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets suggests that you need to hide your plans from others. Perhaps you don’t want anyone to judge you before you put your new strategy in motion. Or maybe you just want to prove something, so you set out to do it alone. Keep in mind that collaborating with the right person can strengthen your plan and increase your effectiveness.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your workmates may be particularly critical of your performance, yet you can still learn from what they say today. Unfortunately, you might be closed off to their advice because of your own issues of self-esteem. However, you can see the intrinsic value of this new information once you acknowledge your insecurity. No competition is necessary because everyone can be a winner.

Daily Horoscopes for September 5

We are inclined to ignore the facts today as the optimistic Sagittarius Moon lifts our spirits and encourages us to believe that anything is possible. Although there may be real limits to the power of positive thought, the Moon’s smooth trine to clever Mercury in dramatic Leo empowers us to motivate others with the strength of our convictions. Nevertheless, we are brought back to reality when the Moon enters sensible Capricorn at 10:03 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your overconfidence can create problems today, unless you scale back your ambitions a bit. Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell where to draw the line between reality and fantasy, making your decisions even more difficult. Widening your spiritual horizons is easy now; maintaining a solid connection with the mundane world at the same time is more difficult, yet also worth the effort.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your current fascination with philosophy tempts you to believe that you have discovered the meaning of life. Unfortunately, others might see things differently today, believing that you are evading the important issues by using big words and talking about complex ideas that are removed from what’s actually happening. Although your search for truth may appear cavalier, there’s no need to change anything now as long as you’re respectful to the reactions of those around you.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Thankfully, the pace of life may be a bit slower today, but you still wish that things would return to normal. Still, you have a chance to review your recent experiences and think about what to do next. Just remember that there is a magnifying lens between you and your world now, making everything appear bigger, better or more important than it truly is. Giving yourself a reality check is healthier than waiting for someone else to do it for you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today your false sense of optimism may have you believing that anything you can imagine will come true. Although your positive attitude might be sufficient to tip the scales in your favor, there are other things that should be considered, too. It’s not necessary to give up as long as you’re willing to face the current difficulties. Fortunately, it will be easier to overcome any obstacles in your path once you first acknowledge them.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be at the top of your game now, yet still may be insecure about a close relationship because you’re not seeing the situation in its true light. The truth is that your self-image could suffer if you spend too much time analyzing what’s going on. You’re probably more creative and refined than you realize now. Change your attitude by deciding to project yourself into the future instead of looking back into the past.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your innate tendency to be discriminating is always useful, but now it can turn into an obsession and get in the way of your happiness. You may grow uncomfortable with your current starry-eyed visions and decide to rein in your fantasies. Unfortunately, you could pull back so far that your caution causes you to miss out on a lovely opportunity. You don’t need to lower your standards as long as you remain open to starting small and growing from there.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may have unresolved issues that linger from a recent emotional meltdown. Although your feelings probably won’t be put to rest, you have a chance to raise your game to a higher level now. Instead of struggling for dominance or survival, shift your focus to more spiritual concerns. The real magic isn’t in the physical world today. You will be able to let go of unnecessary resentment if you act with compassion instead of fear.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might want to establish new financial goals now that the Moon is visiting your 2nd House of Wealth. However, there is a deep connection between your self-esteem and your net worth. Obviously, there are many practical things you can do to augment your income and increase your assets, but today an attitude change might be more important than anything else. If you value yourself, it will be easier in the long run for others to invest in you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s not easy to keep your feelings secret now because they’re obvious to others, even if you don’t express them directly. The moody Moon is visiting your 1st House of Personality and she has her own language that bypasses words and social pleasantries. Nevertheless, it’s unwise to assume that others know what’s going on for you unless you actually take the time to specifically tell them. Confiding in someone you trust will make you feel instantly better.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Privacy raises conflicts between your need to be constantly in the world doing your thing and your current desire to isolate yourself so you can work in solitude. Neither extreme is an acceptable course of action now, even if you think that you must choose one way or the other today. Change the rules of the game by imagining a scenario where you can be in the spotlight when necessary, yet are still able to escape when you need to be alone.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re motivated by your dreams now that the adventurous Sagittarius Moon is in your 11th House of Future Goals. Unfortunately, you might not have enough common sense to know which of your ideas are good enough to follow and which should be set aside. Luckily, you don’t have to decide today; just allow your thoughts to take you on a fascinating ride without being bound to any single outcome.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 10th House of Career encourages you to make big plans to fulfill your professional ambitions. Although you may feel as if you’re sitting on top of the world — or, at least have a clear path to the mountain’s summit — others may not see your success in the same way. Don’t be discouraged by the doubters and naysayers; go ahead and reach for the stars. Just remember to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground at the same time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for September 4th

We are now in between some very intense planetary aspects, giving us time to integrate recent experiences and consider the issues we must soon face. However, we should be cautious about sweeping unresolved issues under the rug, even if today’s expansive Sagittarius Moon brings a new wave of optimism. The Moon forms squares with the Sun and Venus in detail-oriented Virgo, reminding us of the consequences of only thinking about the big picture.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The influence you have on others now is not limited to what they can see; opinions are being formed today by picking up on more subtle information, too. Placing too much emphasis on the performance may have you looking good but won’t necessarily convey the real substance of what you have to offer. Be smart and save your act for another day. For now, concentrate on working with the major changes that are slowly yet methodically unfolding around you.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s square to your key planet Venus can prompt you to declare your feelings right out loud today, even if this isn’t your normal style. However, you would be smart to think twice before doing anything that could upset the delicate balance between you and others. Your life is already more complicated than you like, so don’t add another layer of drama on top of everything else. For simplicity’s sake, keep your desires to yourself for now.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might feel as if you’ve recently navigated your way successfully through a tricky situation. Now that you have demonstrated your skills as a negotiator by convincing someone to avoid direct confrontation, it’s your turn to take a stand for one of your beliefs. Although this may require methodical follow-through on your part, you could be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You want to move beyond your recently hurt feelings, but it’s not easy to let go of them if someone is being inconsiderate today. Still, it’s crucial to realize that you can’t control how people react to you, even if you’re tempted to manipulate their emotions. Instead of attempting to change anyone else, find a place of acceptance within yourself that can transform your fears into a positive expression of love.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ready to put your best foot forward today because the Moon in your expressive 5th House wants you to be noticed now by all those you love. Luckily, your charm can cut right through a stressful situation, leaving others to appreciate your presence. Unfortunately, you can try too hard. Knowing when to step out of the spotlight is just as important as having an entertaining act to perform. Once you’ve had your moment to shine, be gracious and let someone else be the center of attention for a while.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re stressed by today’s conflict between your desire for adventure and your need for perfection. You’re tempted to sacrifice quality in order to squeeze more activity into your day, but you may regret this kind of foolish behavior later on. Your friends and family might not even be aware of your current struggle unless you decide to make your feelings public. Keep in mind that your experience doesn’t depend on anyone else knowing about it.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be worried about an uncomfortable situation with a friend, but it’s hard to tell if it’s real or if you’re just making it all up. Interactive Mercury in your 11th House of Social Networking forms an otherworldly septile with realistic Saturn in your sign. While it’s true that someone could be trying to undermine your position today, it’s smarter to avoid the drama. Have fun, but keep working until you fulfill the promises you made.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re feeling a lot of pressure that seems to fall squarely on your shoulders now, but fortunately you know that your efforts are appreciated. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem reminds you to look on the bright side of things, boosting your confidence. But don’t waste energy pretending that you are okay with things as they are if you’re not. Take time to process your feelings; ultimately, releasing them will bring you increased vitality.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s monthly visit to your sign raises your spirits and encourages you to share your positive outlook with those around you. Unfortunately, your overconfidence can carry you away today, allowing you to appear a bit foolish. It’s great to have such an optimistic attitude, but you could lose support from your closest friends unless you are also willing to acknowledge the more difficult aspects of life, too.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are motivated by your desire to maintain your balance, but this can be tricky when the ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet. You can see many exciting possibilities ahead, but are also fearful that you could lose your sense of direction if you let yourself be distracted by pleasure. Thankfully, you have enough discipline to stay on track now as long as you remain true to yourself.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although your friends are probably being straightforward today, there’s a good chance that you’ll still misinterpret what they say. Relationships are complicated by unexpressed feelings now, especially if others think that you won’t approve of their desires. If you want someone you love to share their secrets with you, you’ll need to create a safe space by demonstrating your willingness to be open-minded and non-judgmental.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if you don’t feel like doing your chores or fulfilling your duties, you’re still able to make it look like you’re having fun while doing your work. You are willing to turn your routine into a game, which alleviates boredom and can actually make your life more pleasurable. However, caution is advised, because there may be a price to pay for keeping your real feelings secret. It may be wiser to just be honest from the beginning because unexpressed negativity can often turn into resentment if it doesn’t have an outlet.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Sept. 3rd

Although the emotionally charged Scorpio Moon continues to bring transformation into our lives today, we can lose focus when she squares nebulous Neptune. Thankfully, seeing the brighter side of a situation can turn a tense set of circumstances into one where everyone emerges a winner. The Moon’s entry into adventurous Sagittarius at 5:03 pm EDT encourages us to take risks and her trine to wild Uranus foretells memorable experiences.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

What you say today has more impact than usual so remember to choose your words very carefully. Instead of impulsively blabbering away about whatever comes to mind, consider what you want before you speak. However, keep in mind your natural tendency is to overlook the details. Use positive images to inspire others, but don’t gloss over what’s important just because it doesn’t support your vision.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ability to say exactly the right thing can help you through a tricky situation today, while allowing you to inadvertently promise more than you can deliver. Unfortunately, you may not realize what you’ve said until it’s too late. Speaking before you think increases the stress; make sure to balance any positive immediate effect with the potential long-term consequences.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Daydreaming is a great way to visualize different scenarios before you pick out the right one to follow. Your thoughts can take you on a spectacular journey today; however, individually each one seems so good that you simply cannot make up your mind. There isn’t any reason to force making a choice right away, so just enjoy the present moment while it lasts.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be a bit detached from everyone around you today. It’s as if getting close to someone now activates a memory of an old emotional wound. But don’t be too harsh a critic because your energy will continue to morph and change. Practice letting go of your desire to control everything; your adaptability helps you turn a complex day into a simply joyous one.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be feeling sorry for yourself today, especially if others tell you that you should be living a less complicated life. But you recently made decisions that suggest you like to have a variety of options at your disposal. However, don’t waste too much energy arguing with anyone else or you’ll wear yourself out before you can make the right choice. Ultimately, the only person you have to please is yourself.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s stressful square with motor-mouthed Mercury reminds you to forget about your worries and see how far you can take one great idea, instead. But it’s not a day of impractical fantasies, so don’t bother trying to escape from the practical side of life. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, even while allowing new ideas to inspire your dreams.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel optimistic today, but it’s not easy to put your big ideas into action. Your patience will ultimately be rewarded, freeing you to talk about your plans. Once the Moon enters fiery Sagittarius in the afternoon you remember how much fun you can have when you take off on an adventure. Don’t hold back; start something new and exciting when the universe tells you that it’s time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you may begin the day with a high level of anxiety, your current emotional overload may be exactly the catalyst you need. You might prefer to keep quiet now, because once you begin sharing you could end up saying way more than you originally intended. Don’t worry if you overreact in the early morning, for there’s still time to find your way back to a more comfortable place later in the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s return to your extroverted sign this afternoon is an exciting wake-up call. You can consciously set patterns for the next couple of weeks, but it may be smarter to simply focus on what’s happening in the immediate moment, instead. Once the reset is complete and you are fully engaged in the here-and-now, it becomes much easier to imagine the amazing possibilities of the future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may still be on your guard today, especially if you recently had a few days of very intense interactions. Unfortunately, the lack of any real romance on your horizon could be the source of your unhappiness. Fortunately, you can shift your attention to seek satisfaction professionally. You’re a champion when it comes to working hard and now this innate characteristic pays off handsomely. But even if you are proud of your accomplishments, don’t totally ignore your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are blessed with the gift of gab now and everywhere you turn, the words just fall right out of your mouth. You love to talk about your recent experiences, yet this isn’t a time to reminisce about past achievements. Throw caution to the wind and open your mind to a wide variety of possibilities before settling down and choosing one. Visualizing your future is the first step to creating your dreams.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Others may get lost as they try to follow your thinking today because your thoughts are slipping in and out of fantasies and parallel universes, making everything quite complex. But even if you can’t untangle your words, you still can reach your audience in other ways by playing a song, reading a poem or drawing a picture. Set aside your tech manuals and science books for now and let your creative genius shine.

Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 2nd

Our desires are complicated by the power of today’s magnetic Scorpio Moon, and we may be fearful of expressing our needs if others don’t actively support our intensity. We feel driven to convince everyone that we’re right, no matter what the emotional cost happens to be now. However, our irrational worries are ameliorated by a happy Sun-Jupiter trine that rewards upbeat thinking, encourages generous behavior and spurs random acts of kindness.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be caught up in a complex swirl of energy as you attempt to untangle your attachments. Although you might try to be impartial in your approach to relationships today, you could have a tough decision to make now that could ultimately change the trajectory of your life. Fortunately, your clear intentions help you spin the current circumstances in a way that’s beneficial to all involved.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quite determined to avoid an unpleasant confrontation today because you cannot see how it will lead to anything positive. It’s easier for you to sit on the fence now and wait for resolution than to get caught up in making something happen. But inaction will only work for so long. Ultimately, you’ll feel better after the various opinions have been aired, even if there’s no apparent common ground yet. There’s no need to force a group consensus; it will come naturally on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury the Communicator might appear to be no match while standing up to transformative Pluto today; but your thoughts will endure, even if your priorities change. Holding onto your vision helps you face a difficult opponent. You may feel that someone is out to defeat you, but if you’re smart enough to steer clear of open conflict now, you should be able to continue toward your destination without further interference.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are challenged to show your feelings with Mars now back in your sign. Your life may seem overly intense now, and it feels like there’s too much going on, making it nearly impossible to know where to start. Although overcoming your hesitation is wise, don’t share everything at once. Choose your topics of discussion carefully; emphasizing those things you can be optimistic about should help you reach your goals.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be feeling a bit embarrassed today if you recently went out on a limb and said more than was necessary. However hopeful you are that others can step beyond their narrow-minded thinking to see the big picture, you still face an uphill battle. Attempts to demonstrate your intellectual superiority are bound to fail. Instead of making anyone else feel like a loser, figure out how everyone can win.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you realize the significance of your own core beliefs, it’s difficult when someone close to you has an entirely different set of assumptions. However, it’s a trap to engage in dialogue solely for the purpose of proving you are right. Once you acknowledge that intelligent people can hold opposing views, you will be free to work on self-improvement instead of wasting time trying to change another person’s mind.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Mercury’s current visit to playful Leo makes you more talkative and increases your mental activity, but you may need to fight for your right to speak your mind. Fortunately, your creative juices are flowing directly from the source now, making it easier to be proactive. Being considerate of other people’s feelings is admirable, but don’t allow your willingness to compromise stop you from doing what’s best for you.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your suspicious sign can raise issues of jealousy or possessiveness in relationships. You may think that someone is working against you behind your back, but it may just be your fears stirring up these fantasies. Don’t succumb to the negativity today; the choice is truly yours. Choosing self-improvement over everything else should be enough to put a positive spin on the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter forms an optimistic trine with the illuminating Sun today, lifting your spirits and raising your hopes. Luckily, your cheerful attitude can positively impact your immediate future, but self-doubt could also surface and temporarily interfere with a good day. Connect with your friends because they will help take your mind off of your problems and remind you of what’s most important.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may lock horns with a friend and find yourself in a standoff today, especially if you feel threatened by your own insecurity. But other people’s clever ideas are no match for your unrelenting persistence and strong sense of purpose. Although someone may anger you now, don’t get distracted from your ambitious goals. Your current optimism, mixed with intense concentration, is an unbeatable combination.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have the gift of clear vision and shouldn’t let anyone dismiss your dreams today. But things get tricky fast if someone questions your authority. Your energy could shift into a more aggressive mood if you attempt to defend yourself. Don’t bother trying to justify your position now. Just keep your eyes on the horizon and continue heading in that direction.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although everything seems quite intense, you are able to stay slightly detached from your emotions today. Luckily, your optimistic perspective on relationships enables you to avoid an unnecessary conflict with someone who fundamentally disagrees with your position. Remember that you don’t have to be right; you have absolutely nothing to prove now. Instead of stirring up trouble with a loved one, concentrate on realizing your dreams.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, Sept. 1st

Even with the Moon in peaceful Libra this morning, we’re easily agitated and can feel that change is in the air. It’s as if we know that a storm is already on the way, even if there are no clouds on the horizon. However, the emotional weather starts to shift and the intensity builds when the Moon swims into passionate Scorpio at 2:47 pm EDT. Although we might be inclined to hold onto our current feelings, it’s wiser to release them and move on.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to begin something new, yet you don’t always finish everything you start. You’re tired of all the running around, especially if you haven’t accomplished as much as you expected. You may not want to wait another day or two in order to take charge of your own life again. But you can’t rush events that are out of your control, so patience is in order.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are smart to get your job done early in the day, for you might be less inclined to work hard and be productive later in the afternoon and evening. However, if you do fall behind, don’t worry. You’re bound to get back in the groove over the next couple of days by reclaiming your center and planting your feet firmly back on the ground.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your sense of urgency isn’t the best indicator of timing today, especially if you fear that you’re near the end of a road. Your tendency is to start something different now in order to revitalize your life with an exciting project. However, you’re much better off waiting until some stability returns before adding anything new to the mix. In the meantime, slow down and tie up as many loose ends as you can.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be quite upbeat today, for you can tell that there are big changes ahead. Sometimes you prefer to retreat when things get hectic, but now you are eager to engage the energy head-on. You might realize that you’ve taken on more than you can manage, making these next few days intense. But one thing is certain: this could be your chance to feel the full passion of life.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are able to hold steady in the midst of big changes, and you’re running through your possible strategies today in anticipation of what’s coming. You don’t mind dealing with the intensity of your feelings or with those of others, but there could be a severe learning curve ahead. Withdrawing your energy from social activities in the community and refocusing at home may be all that’s needed to rebalance your life.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Don’t let any distractions hook you today or you’ll quickly be pulled off course. You’re all fired up and feel as if you are on a mission, so you may appear even more driven than usual. Be engaged, but cool your emotions with sound logic. On the other hand, don’t spend too much time justifying all your actions or you could fall behind and lose your opportunity to make something awesome happen.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may try to hold on to your neutrality but something has to give now. You know that it’s time to make your move when the Moon enters incisive Scorpio today. Fortunately, ambiguity quickly becomes a thing of the past; you know exactly where you stand and there’s no question about where you are going. Others are wise to take their cues from you or just get out of your way.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s monthly return to your sign isn’t always an easy process because you feel even more strongly than usual, which can be rather overwhelming to those close to you. But it probably takes more effort to hide your feelings now than to express them. However, it can be an emotionally charged day if your secrets are revealed. Luckily, intimacy is within reach if you are willing to demonstrate your vulnerability.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are usually a straight shooter with your emotions, yet you don’t necessarily like to dwell on them. You prefer to let your actions speak for you, but now you might actually have something to hide. Luckily, keeping your feelings to yourself is easy today with the Moon’s presence in your private 12th House. If you want to take the focus off of your inner process, there’s a lot to discuss about all the developments at work.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s possible to delay a necessary confrontation for a day or two now, but it’s not advisable. Your emotions could trigger a meltdown if you don’t face them sooner than later. It might seem as if you are hitting the proverbial wall today, but this could be a projection of your inner turmoil. When you stop trying to control all of the changes, your stress may dissipate on its own.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to take care of everyone at work today, but you might have to set aside your own feelings in the process. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy for your unexpressed negativity to turn into anger or resentment, which doesn’t help you get along with anyone. Nevertheless, latching onto a ray of hope can be enough to encourage you not to lose confidence. Focusing your attention on the possibilities will keep you in a positive frame of mind.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be energetically reserved today, even if your hopes are still pinned to a shooting star that’s on its way upward. However, your intensity can be disproportionately dramatic when you finally tell your story. But be careful; everything doesn’t need to come out in the open now. It’s an emotional process and if you do it gradually, it will be easier on everyone involved.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Aug. 30

We can re-establish balance in our lives with the Moon’s shift into peaceful Libra at 2:25 pm EDT, especially after the recent emotional intensity we’ve experienced. We may feel another kick when the Moon opposes irrepressible Uranus and squares formidable Pluto later this evening. Thankfully, the harmonious and happy effects of a lovely trine between beautiful Venus and opulent Jupiter bless us with good vibrations throughout the day.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Other people may get on your nerves today if they won’t hurry up and make up their minds. You want answers now and can become frustrated when your impatience gets the best of you. Unfortunately, no one seems to share your sense of urgency. It’s easier once you admit that this problem is more about your needs than anyone else’s shortcomings. Ease up and give your friends a little room to be themselves.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may lack ambition today, even though you have specific chores that still must be finished. But you might not feel the need to jump in and take care of your duties before heading out for a little fun. Be careful about avoiding your obligations because, ironically, you may not be able to relax enough to enjoy yourself if you act irresponsibly.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are looking forward to an easygoing day with the Moon entering your 5th House of Fun and Games. However, there is so much happening in your life these days that you might not have enough time to explore new ways to entertain yourself. But don’t take out your frustration on others. Even if someone seems to be blocking your progress, it isn’t about anyone else’s actions. Changing your own attitude is the only way to overcome the resistance you feel today.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be unsure about how to handle a family matter today, but it’s certainly not because you don’t care. Rather, you’re so concerned with what’s happening that you see the pros and cons of more than one solution. You may even reach a point of frustration and walk away from the whole situation. Don’t be a quitter; it’s better to just make a choice now, even if you aren’t one hundred percent positive in your decision.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might want to play the role of the diplomat today, placing yourself between two other people who are in the middle of an ongoing disagreement. You’re able to listen to each version of the story and still remain neutral and levelheaded. Just remember that you aren’t the final arbiter of truth and justice. Instead, you’ll be most effective if you can simply help the conflicted parties find some common ground on which to stand.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not be as in touch with your feelings today as you were over the past few days when the Moon was visiting your sign. Thankfully, you are able to cool off emotionally now, enabling your critical thinking to lead you in a sensible direction. But don’t be overly judgmental and end up saying no to everything. Keep in mind that this isn’t about lowering your standards; rather, it’s about remaining open to unknown possibilities.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon returns to your sign today, possibly overwhelming you with powerful feelings. Thankfully, you should be able to keep working toward your goals if you’re able to integrate your emotions into what you’re doing. You may be sure enough about your ideas that you can easily go along with any group decision. Unfortunately, others may think that your willingness to yield is a sign of weakness. Don’t try to convince anyone that they are wrong. Keep your integrity intact and others will shift their assumptions over time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are willing to tell others how you feel, but may not have the need because you’re probably a lot more flexible today than you seem. However, you certainly don’t want to come across as weak or undecided, so you might just choose a side and then remain loyal to whatever you pick. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you are right; what’s more important now is that you’re following your bliss.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You would like to participate in some summer fun with your friends today because being in a group of like-minded people is nourishing to your soul. However, you might not be eager to relinquish your authority or let go of control. Ironically, everyone else may believe that you have things more together than you actually do. This is tricky territory; if you don’t show some vulnerability now, others may not be able to help you later on when you really need it.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It feels as if everyone expects you to be able to pull the right answers out of thin air today; however, you may not be willing to play their game. As interested as you are in being correct, you’re not as concerned with choosing one solution over another. What’s most critical now is to navigate by your own moral compass instead; if you do, you’ll find a way out of the current dilemma.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Everything seems to work well up to a point today. You’re willing to create a plan and then execute it, but you must be ready to set it aside if circumstances change and obstacles stand in your path. Instead of attempting to make a run for the finish line, take your time and handle any issues that pop up along the way. Slow and steady wins the race.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re interested in getting to the bottom of an emotional issue now that could be getting in the way of the intimacy you seek. Discussing your attractions and desires is not enough to deepen the bond, because it becomes harder to talk about your feelings when you’re scared of losing your rational perspective. Nevertheless, you’re safer today than you realize, so let your emotions wash over you without any fear of drowning.

Full Moon Chant

Full Moon

The Moon’s energy is most intense when She reaches abundant fullness. Any magickal effort, especially difficult ones, can benefit greatly from the potency of this phase. Use the full Moon to amplify magickal intent and to give spellworkings additional power.

To seal spells performed during the full Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:

Abundant Mother, Moon so bright

Hear my plea upon this night.

Your fertile power lend this spell;

Make it potent, strong and well.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 25

Frustrations abound when assertive Mars runs into a dynamic square with restrictive Saturn. Although we are excited about pushing ahead, reaching our goals may be a lot tougher than we expect as we run into one obstacle after another. Thankfully, persistence pays off when a powerful Venus-Pluto trine facilitates deeper emotional connections. No longer are we confined by someone else’s judgments; we are emotionally engaged and playing for keeps.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You intuitively believe that it’s a good idea to follow your feelings today, even if you don’t know where they are taking you. You may be uncomfortable with the idea of giving up some of your freedom, yet this seems to be a small price to pay for establishing a magical connection with a powerful person. Remember that narrowing your options to get something in return can actually feel good in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Being emotionally fulfilled isn’t only about feeling good today; it’s also about being aligned with a higher purpose. Luckily, it’s easier to accomplish your goals now that your head and your heart are in tune with each other. You know what to do to attract wealth and to express love, so don’t let self-doubt limit your options. Dream as big as you can and be ready to grab the brass ring when you get the chance.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult for you to slow down enough to sink into your emotions, especially if you’re afraid of what you might discover. Once you let the distractions fade away, you could be pulled into the dark recesses of your imagination where a clever turn of phrase isn’t sufficient to bring you back into the light. If, however, you have the courage to be patient, negativity will dissipate and you will return with treasures from your journey within.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are relieved that you get to handle the intensity of someone else’s fears today because you have already wrestled with your own inner demons. It’s not that you have all the answers; it’s just that you are now willing to witness the process for others without feeling threatened yourself. Don’t underestimate the commitment that is required; this is intense emotional work and your compassion will be greatly appreciated.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s not easy to find an uplifting story in the midst of the gloom today, but your persistent search can uncover important realizations that change your day for the better. You are learning about maintaining your own emotional health now, yet your lesson may be an unexpected one. You haven’t chosen an easy journey, but investigating beneath the surface can change your perspective and give you a whole new point of view.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions are a source of power now and even the most challenging obstacle in your path won’t slow you down very much today. Of course, you want to concentrate your efforts on whatever issues arise, but at least you’ll do so with a positive and practical attitude. Luckily, this isn’t about being in denial; in fact, it’s your critical thinking that enables you to see through the camouflage and effectively cut to the chase.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

As hard as you try to avoid it, you are still pulled into a complex emotional drama today that raises an old familiar issue. Fortunately, there’s nothing threatening in the present circumstances, yet they still remind you of a previous power struggle when you weren’t as much in control of your feelings. Don’t look back, or your fears can prompt you to limit your current options. Instead, consider the possibilities; anything you put your mind to now has the potential of becoming real.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your power comes from your magical ability to undergo a surprising metamorphosis today. You are like the legendary phoenix that arises from the ashes as Pluto harmonizes with magnetic Venus. Others might be afraid of such dynamic change, but you instinctively know that it’s futile to resist these evolutionary waves. Being flexible enough to go with the emotional flow now is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you can disagree about the truth of a story, it’s pointless today to do battle over a simple difference of opinion. However, explaining your beliefs enables you to separate them from the hard facts. Making this distinction is quite helpful now, and lessens your chance of getting into an argument over a topic where there can never be a clear winner.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You won’t likely be sweet-talked into capitulation today, yet you could perform some gentle persuasion yourself. You might try sheer stubbornness as a strategy now, but it’s only because you feel like you have too much to lose. Don’t waste energy trying to protect yourself; instead go out and do something creative in order to mix up the energy. Others will appreciate you making the first move.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Anything you choose to keep to yourself now will carry even more weight than what you reveal. But this is not a permission slip to tell everything to everybody; there are many things that are best left unsaid. Just think through your motives for sharing and then select the best time to talk. If you have a purpose for expressing what’s in your heart, then your current communication will ideally bring an important feeling out into the open.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The sharpness of your practical analysis prompts you to make an important decision about your feelings today. But ironically, you might feel like you’re temporarily lost in the desert in search of an oasis. Although you exhibit strength of purpose in your current choices, a lack of commitment could be problematic. Deciding with your head is not as long-lasting as following your heart.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 24

The Moon swims into watery Cancer at 6:30 am EDT, reminding us of the power of our feelings. The Moon is at home in Cancer, yet today our emotions can be so overwhelming that we may not be able to express them in words. Harsh lunar aspects make us susceptible to mood changes that others can easily perceive. Meanwhile, a quincunx from likeable Venus to radical Uranus encourages us to try new things, even if we’re not satisfied with the outcome.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be so aware of your shortcomings today that your self-doubt negatively impacts your ability to have fun. In fact, you might not even be interested in joining the party now. Don’t waste time worrying about anyone else’s judgments. Just be as clear as possible about your boundaries when you tell your friends that you would rather stay home and have some quiet time by yourself. Nurturing yourself first will enable you to be more considerate of others later.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have something important to do at work today, but you don’t necessarily want everyone to know about it. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to make enough time because you’re probably busier than you prefer, and you won’t be able to change your schedule until you meet your obligations. Others are expecting a lot from you, so do the best you can to deliver what you promised.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You wish that your emotions would settle down, but it’s too soon to breathe a sigh of relief because there’s still a bit of rough water for you to swim through. You need to make sure that you put your priorities straight now and communicate your needs to those around you. You might not receive the support you want right away, but your gentle persistence should pay off by the weekend after Mercury turns direct. Have patience; there are better days ahead.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You sea-dwelling Crabs are exceptionally sensitive to the lunar cycles, and you have a lot on your mind now as the Moon visits your self-protective sign. You might feel overly vulnerable today because it appears that others know something about you that you thought was a secret. Nevertheless, you can’t just hide inside your shell once you’ve already been seen. Thankfully, those who love you won’t be deterred by your resistance.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could have a bit of repair work to do in a personal relationship, but unfortunately, knowing what went wrong is not the same thing as being able to fix it. Thankfully, your good intentions can go a long way today. Don’t be hard on yourself if you can’t meet someone else’s expectations. You aren’t responsible for how others feel; just stay focused on love, without needing to know where it will take you.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be spending a lot of time rethinking your goals and trying to figure out a way to create the life of your dreams. Although you’re growing tired of mentally living in the future, nostalgia isn’t healthy now either. Stop worrying about yesterday and tomorrow; methodically keep bringing your focus back to the here-and-now. You’ll be happier once you commit to staying in the present moment.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to maintain your objectivity today while other people attempt to tug on your heartstrings and activate your emotional attachments. Rationally, you know it’s wise to avoid intimate interactions now that could reveal your vulnerability. However, your feelings are not ruled by your logic, so you might as well just give yourself permission to be human and experience the pleasure and pain of irrational passion.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can see far into the distance now that the Moon is visiting your 9th House of Faraway Places. Your view of the future is vastly different from what you expected because everything is so much clearer now. But this can be tricky, for it’s not about anything that’s out there. Your inner world is currently more accessible to you, allowing you an additional level of clarity. Just remember that you’re the creator of your fantasies, and it’s still up to you to make them come true.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You aren’t as comfortable today as the Moon wades through your emotionally complex 8th house. You might choose to engage in a competitive sport, participate in exciting outdoor activities or simply head out on an adventure to parts unknown. Nevertheless, you have a much different kind of exciting drama waiting for you when you explore the feelings you want to share with someone special. Don’t let your fears prevent you from discovering the treasures of love.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A good friend might need your assistance today — or, at least, that is how it appears. But you aren’t one to go rescuing an underdog unless you can clearly rationalize what you are doing. However, you are far from being cold-hearted; it’s just that your practicality can now stand in the way of a kinder and gentler type of love, if you let it. Sometimes there are intangible rewards for helping others that are well worth your altruistic efforts.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s hard to feel at ease today because it seems as if someone is blocking your efforts. Your reaction has nothing to do with paranoia; it’s just that you prefer avoiding unnecessary disappointment and pain that might follow you around if you lower your protective walls. Don’t do anything that could possibly add to your stress. Just pay close attention to where your heart leads you now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You would be wise to temporarily set aside your responsibilities for a bit today, even if they continue to pile up in your absence. Your psychic powers are quite strong now, enabling you to know what others want, even if nothing is spoken out loud. Put your extraordinary abilities to work by helping someone who can benefit from your compassionate assistance.
