We are motivated to take initiative today, especially in the context of relationship issues. A spontaneous Aries Full Moon eclipse occurs at 7:37 pm EDT, precipitating change and escalating the emotional intensity. Although it’s crucial to stay in touch with our dreams, living in the present moment releases us from unrealistic expectations. Our fluctuating moods need plenty of room to roam before we try to channel them in any one direction.

Aries Horoscope

 

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re looking forward to the weekend, even if you have to handle complicated relationship dynamics. The Aries Full Moon eclipse stirs emotional change, but it also instills you with a sense of quiet power. Find peace by setting a sustainable pace that gives you time to improvise. Thankfully, you don’t need to stand on your desk and shout; others can tell that you are on to something big. Just remember to keep the energy moving forward no matter what happens

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Hidden feelings are brought to the surface today and can trigger an uneasy response when they are released. You may actually breathe a sigh of relief that others hear as the energy of the excitable Aries Full Moon eclipse shakes up your 12th House of Privacy. If they ask you what’s going on, go ahead and tell them. But don’t waste too many words, as you have more important things to do now than justifying your emotions.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Rather weird events involving your friends seem to be veering out of control today. Actually, your calendar may be the furthest thing from your mind with the spontaneous Aries Full Moon eclipse occurring in your 11th House of Social Networking. It’s not that you’re in denial; it’s just that you’re missing the clues that indicate there’s more going on than meets the eye. You could be having too much fun playing the role of a diplomat. Ultimately, it’s better to attend to your own business now than attempting to make things easier for someone else.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A temporary crisis at work may alter your plans for the weekend. But don’t let big changes stop you from scheduling some fun with your friends or associates. However, circumstances might require you to set firm boundaries. Take care of your own needs for fellowship and make time to hang out with like-minded people. Don’t be overly concerned about whether you can afford the time or the expense to treat yourself nicely. You are certainly worth it.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Normally, you act out your feelings, but it may be better to talk things out now before swinging into action. But don’t get lost in the details; the Aries Full Moon eclipse activates your 9th House of Big Ideas. Be bold in your thinking; leave no stone unturned when considering your current options. There’s no reason to hold back; stretch your mind and reach for new horizons. Today’s dreams can become tomorrow’s reality

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be high on life today, but your current confidence about your future is tempered by concerns about the past. You are being drawn into deeper emotional realms, which often makes you uncomfortable. However, you might actually be enthusiastic about exploring the shadows of your own subconscious now since the Aries Full Moon eclipse energizes your 8th House of Intimacy. The passions that rise to the surface will settle back down once you understand how they fit into the larger picture.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationship issues that you are avoiding come crashing out of the closet now. And although everything doesn’t necessarily go your way, you can sense that you’ve made it through the thick of it by the end of the day. Today’s Aries Full Moon eclipse falls in your 7th House of Companions, so stay with your emotional process even if you run into resistance from someone else. Don’t retreat if communication is challenging; establishing common ground is possible if you are patient and persistent

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You refuse to be bored today as you navigate your way through your demanding schedule. Although today’s Aries Full Moon eclipse rattles your 6th House of Routine, try to get in some rest and relaxation since next week may even be busier than last week. Don’t be afraid to redefine your boundaries and set new expectations based upon the unfolding events and how they impact your work.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your enthusiastic intentions are magnified by the Aries Full Moon eclipse that shines in your 5th House of Spontaneity today. Although you are looking toward the future with great anticipation, you’re also grateful to be living in the moment. However, you might be feeling more emotional than usual and may want to address these issues with a close friend or lover. Charm is on your side; just remember to use it wisely.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be experiencing unsettling flashes of uncertainty now, but this intense emotional weather might be exactly what you need in this moment. Your reactions are swift and self-protective as the impulsive Aries Full Moon eclipse lands in your 4th House of Inner Security. Meanwhile, others are depending on you in the workplace, and this motivates you to take on even more responsibility. Surprisingly, you become more determined throughout the day to stir up issues that can create positive change

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Tension develops on the home front as you feel real pressure to come through with your end of the deal. Perhaps you promised too much, but you’ll probably be able to get away with pulling back a little at work while you take care of personal matters. Today’s Aries Full Moon eclipse creates static in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, but don’t make the mistake of withdrawing from communication with others now; staying present is more than half the battle.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current priority is to plant your feet more firmly on the ground and claim your authenticity. Take advantage of today’s powerful Aries Full Moon eclipse in your 2nd House of Values by letting others know what really matters most to you these days. Concentrate on clarifying your core beliefs instead of compromising to keep the peace. Say exactly what’s on your mind now and everyone will respect your position and appreciate your honesty.

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of lunar eclipse, horoscopes, full moon, eclipse, astrology, aries

This opposition of the independent Aries Moon and the accommodating Libra Sun on October 18, 2013, at 7:38 p.m. EDT, is a contrast between self-interest and putting others first. But it’s also a Lunar Eclipse that reminds us to let go of habits that keep us isolated from others. Going it alone is often commendable as a signal of individuality and strength, yet the message here is that while engaging with others adds complexity to our lives, there’s much more to be gained than lost.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

This Full Moon in your fiery sign is a Lunar Eclipse that signals the need to take a step back, breathe deeply and turn down the heat of your emotions. Passion is a wonderful thing but pushing too hard and too fast is more likely to produce panic than progress. The counsel and support of an objective individual can help you to let go of an old habit that’s keeping you from heading in an exciting new direction.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This impulsive Aries Full Moon lands in your 12th House of Secrets to arouse feelings of restlessness and rebellion. You may be in the mood to break some rules, which is both exciting and risky. If you’re going to ride this wave of boldness, do something original and creative that makes you feel stronger. Taking chances in a positive direction will produce less trouble and be more rewarding than being angry.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The impatient Aries Full Moon eclipse could shake relationships with friends and colleagues. It lands in your 11th House of Groups where pressures could rise within organizations and among teammates. If you’re battling over an old issue, it’s time to change the playing field so that these habitual irritations finally end. Breaking patterns and, perhaps, ending alliances may be the way to do it.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Professional matters could take a sudden turn with this fiery Aries Full Moon eclipse in your 10th House of Career. If you’ve pushed too hard or are burdened by new responsibilities, you may need to seek support in meeting them. Slowing down, changing directions and getting help from others will reduce stress. If you’re initiating a bold business move, making adjustments could be your key to success.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Plans for travel could shift with this Full Moon eclipse in your 9th House of Faraway Places. Careful preparation is a good way to avoid complications. This part of your chart is also about learning and beliefs, so you might have to adjust your educational plans to reach your long-term goals. Going faster at this time could simply take you further off course, so slow down and think twice before making a major decision.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This fiery Aries Full Moon eclipse lands in your 8th House of Deep Sharing where it can shake up a key personal or professional relationship. Don’t let overhyped enthusiasm lead to impulsive behavior because the outcome may be very far from your expectations. Reaching out and making connections is fine as long as you keep a flexible attitude that allows you to make adjustments or back out if it’s not working.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Keeping the peace in partnerships might not be easy with this fiery Aries Full Moon eclipse in your 7th House of Relationships. It could be that you’re getting bored with a personal or professional alliance that’s just not going anywhere. It’s worth standing and fighting, though, if you can find a fresh perspective on the situation. If not, it might be time to cut your losses and seek alliances with more amenable people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Your work life could be altered with this restless Aries Full Moon eclipse in your 6th House of Employment. Pushing harder to get new projects off the ground may not get them going any faster. It’s smarter to develop your skills and refine systems to make them more efficient than to race ahead without building a solid foundation. Brilliant ideas may arise in an instant but turning them into reality takes time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Your desire to play and take risks tends to increase with this fiery Aries Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance and Self-Expression. But this Sun-Moon opposition is also a Lunar Eclipse, which can turn what sounds like a fun idea into one you’d rather avoid. The point is to be a little less impulsive in your pursuit of pleasure and in your professional presentations. Be sure to lay a solid foundation before taking a leap.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Domestic issues could heat up with this fiery Aries Full Moon in your 4th House of Home and Family. This event is also a Lunar Eclipse that’s more about cleaning up the past than pushing forward with new projects and plans. Dealing with unfinished personal business requires a fresh approach to be successful. Persistence may be one of your strengths, but innovation and adaptability will be more useful to you now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Brilliant ideas could be popping with the innovative Aries Full Moon in your 3rd House of Information. Enthusiastic conversations might assure you that you’re on the right track. However, this event is also a Lunar Eclipse in the communications area of your chart that could lead to sudden changes of mind. Double check data and agreements with others to make sure that what’s been said before still holds true.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Money matters could change suddenly with this Aries Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your 2nd House of Assets. This is not the ideal time to make some fast cash so be leery about any get rich quick schemes. On the plus side, this is an opportunity to clean up unfinished financial issues like reducing debt or other economic obligations. Going leaner in spending now will provide you with more resources when you need them later.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, October 16th

Caution and uncertainty discourage us from initiating action early in the day, but the cosmic landscape changes, prompting impulsive behavior later on. Our irrepressible desires urge us to defy social convention as pleasure-seeking Venus aligns with radical Uranus. We’re even more willing to take a risk and express our feelings after the Moon shifts into spontaneous Aries at 9:17 pm EDT. Luckily, stepping outside of the box is rewarded now.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re quite determined to fulfill your heart’s desire, but you may be thwarted each time you make a move toward your goal. Fortunately, you are not so quick to give in to negativity now. Pick yourself up as often as necessary and start all over again. Your persistence will play out in your favor today if you have everyone’s best interests in mind.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your friends and coworkers might witness your stubborn side today, even if you aren’t expressing the real power of your desires. Perhaps you believe that what you really want is so far outside the range of acceptability that you refrain from telling them anything at all. Unfortunately, your discretion can make you feel disconnected from others. It’s not an all-or-nothing matter. Taking small risks will be rewarded if you’re willing to be patient.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are feeling a bit scattered as you jump into your chores with a whole new way of looking at them today. You’re not satisfied by just doing the same old thing in the same old way. Innovation is your game, but too much originality now might send you back to the drawing board. Try transforming your unconventional approach into a slightly more conservative one for the best results.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be drawn out of your self-protective shell today, you still could have mixed feelings about it. You are eager to engage with others as you share your deepest feelings, yet simultaneously wish you had more privacy. Even if you find it difficult to let go of your fear of being judged, this is a great opportunity to stretch outside of your comfort zone. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be feeling even more reclusive than others realize today. Everyone else thinks you are fully engaged, but you are actually keeping your most passionate emotions hidden. There is no need to satisfy anyone else’s expectations of you now. Be true to yourself and take whatever personal time you need. Sometimes you just have to work things out on your own.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tricky to keep your emotions in check today. Logically, you know what to do, but something motivates you to take a different course of action that brings you dangerously close to the edge of rebellion. Don’t waste too much energy doubting yourself now. Instead, speak up and surprise someone by asking for something you really want, even if it’s out of character for you. Be brave and let the words fall out.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A simple relationship issue is intensified today when someone lays his or her values on the line and then impatiently waits for your response. However, you are of mixed emotions now; although your key planet Venus is activating non-conformist Uranus, you’re still feeling some self-restraint. Your indecision may be insurmountable, so it might be wise to let the other person decide for you both. Choosing compromise over conflict is often your best instinct.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone might be pushing you into a situation against your will and you don’t like it one tiny bit. Events are unfolding too quickly and you resent being coerced. Although you seem willing to go along with the plan today, you may be cooking up your own resistance so you can plant your feet when the time is right. Don’t react too quickly, for your position will only increase in strength if you delay your response a little while longer.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may feel like a playday today, but behind the excitement lurks a more serious tone. Nevertheless, delicious Venus in your fun-loving sign is zapped by electrical Uranus, drawing your attention away from work and toward social pleasures. But you’re also quite aware that you have obligations that need to be taken care of before you go out and enjoy yourself. Normally, you are the one who tells others to lighten up and have fun, but now you should remind yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be caught between two opposing ways of responding to your current circumstances. On one hand, you want to reward yourself for your hard work. There are treats already waiting for you and it would be very easy to take advantage of what’s being offered. On the other hand, you may not be able to forget about your responsibilities, even if you have completed your chores. Indulge yourself for a change; you can always tie up any loose ends tomorrow.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Nearly everyone will find you more sociable and charming today, and you can use this secret weapon to move closer to your goals. Your key planet Uranus electrifies sweet Venus, putting a high-frequency buzz into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, someone might try to prevent you from having the fun you know you deserve. Acknowledge the resistance you perceive from others and take their feelings into consideration before charging ahead with your unconventional activities. The pleasure may still be well worth the consequences.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Take a leap of faith today and risk exposing your dreams to the outer world; your timing couldn’t be better. But don’t give up if you also receive a strong reality check in the process. Keep in mind that some of your fantasies may be better left unrealized. Nevertheless, others are unusually receptive to your ideas now, so move forward with your plans while you can. Step out of your imagination and into your future.

Current Moon Phase for October 11 – First Quarter

First Quarter Moon

(waxing/50% illumination)

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment.

Current Moon Phase for October 7th – Waxing New Moon

New Moon

(waxing/20% illumination)

The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 4th

We may feel as if we woke up on the wrong side the bed today as an anxious Sun-Venus alignment prompts emotional stress. Relationships are in for a bit of rock and roll this afternoon when the normally pleasant Libra Moon bumps into some pretty tough aspects with potent Pluto and rebellious Uranus. The socially astute Libra New Moon at 8:34 pm EDT marks a turning point as we consider what’s negotiable and how to get along better with others.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You instinctively know what others need today and can make them feel at ease before they are even aware of your swift intervention. Your attention shifts from your personal ambitions toward those of your friends because the Libra New Moon emphasizes your 7th House of Companions. Don’t be overly intrusive by assuming everyone wants your help. There may not be a valid reason to get involved unless you are asked. Sometimes good intentions aren’t enough. Nevertheless, there’s nothing wrong with letting people know that you care.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You can turn on the charm now, enabling you to collaborate with your coworkers as the agreeable Libra New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment. It’s easier to prioritize your tasks and negotiate which jobs could be delayed and which must be done right away. Fortunately, you’re capable of keeping up with everything that happens today, even if your efforts aren’t appreciated until later.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

The next few weeks provide you with a chance to revitalize a current relationship or may bring you a new love interest, instead. The social Libra New Moon reignites your 5th House of Romance and Creativity, which is a propitious sign for you to express your artistic nature today. Don’t hesitate; getting started quickly will free up even more time later on for pleasurable pursuits.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Strolling down Memory Lane is a familiar experience, and today your mental journey raises significant issues that you have already considered once before. Luckily, you can manage your emotions in order to avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, don’t get lost in your nostalgic meanderings just because the Libra New Moon falls in your 4th House of Roots. Instead, strive to concentrate on the present moment, rather than slipping off into dreamland. Your future is calling and there’s no time to waste.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you want to believe that you know what’s best for you now, it’s still necessary to take time to consider the wishes of those around you. Even if you are striving to demonstrate your independence, it’s pointless to set your schedule before you talk with the people in your group. Today’s Libra New Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication, motivating you to engage everyone within hearing range. Once you know what others want, you can set your agenda for the day and determine how to meet your needs, too.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may think you need to make a decision about money today, but your options aren’t as definitive as you wish. Unfortunately, the ambivalent Libra New Moon in your 2nd House of Finances makes it difficult to find the perspective you are seeking. You might go back and forth without being able to choose, but nothing positive will stem from being too hard on yourself. Wait a few days before completely committing one way or the other. In the meantime, listing the pros and cons is the next logical step.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Channeling your ideas into practical goals is exciting, but enthusiasm isn’t the only thing that counts. There’s no getting around that you must follow through on your plans with perseverance and good old-fashioned hard work. Today’s New Moon in your sign signals a sudden break from your past if you are ready to place your new intentions into action. But first you must express your desires clearly enough so they can have the impact you wish.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you can usually keep a secret at any cost, a particular issue may be the source of trouble today with the Libra New Moon falling in your 12th House of Privacy. However, you want to tell someone everything you know because you believe it will increase the intimacy between you. Unfortunately, you could go against your promise and impulsively spill the beans. Postpone your conversation until later this evening when you will have more objectivity and discretion at your disposal.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your social calendar is jumping and you have the opportunity to kick the energy up another notch now since the Libra New Moon emphasizes your 11th House of Friends. Give yourself plenty of time to bask in stimulating discussions with like-minded people. But don’t wait too long to gather a group together, for everyone benefits when you share your dreams and optimistic visions about the future. Your love for life is contagious; pass it on.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today’s Libra New Moon occurs in your 10th House of Public Responsibilities, stirring your ambitions and reminding you of all the amazing things that you have accomplished. But there may be more chores for you to finish before you can start a new project. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of taking on more work prior to saying yes on a job that could leave you exhausted. Creating a healthy balance between work and play is ultimately the most effective way to reach your goals.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have an exciting opportunity to expand your horizons now by investigating an innovative idea. Gathering information about different courses of study should help you decide about attending school or additional on-the-job training as today’s Libra New Moon occupies your 9th House of Higher Education. Just don’t limit the possibilities to practical subjects; go ahead and break out of your self-imposed restriction and discover a wildly different world.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your heart-centered approach to other people’s problems can open a door to the possibility of greater intimacy now that the gracious Libra New Moon falls in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Don’t let your fear of the unknown stand between you and feeling compassion for someone else. Instead, maintain a balanced approach to the mysteries of love. Exploring the uncharted shadows of a relationship isn’t as scary as it might seem at first.

Last Quarter Moon

(waning/34% illumination)

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in various parts of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise.

We can trust our instincts today because the Moon shifts into hypersensitive Cancer at 7:32 am EDT, enabling us to feel ripples in the field before they reach our threshold of perception.

However, we still may overreact now, even if we don’t reveal our true feelings as communicator Mercury sextiles excessive Jupiter.

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may try to emotionally withdraw today, but your friends or co-workers won’t let you retreat without good reason. They might seem overly aggressive today, which is an interesting turn since you are often the assertive one. Instead of retreating all the way, find a comfortable halfway point where you still can interact with others so everyone feels satisfied.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Refusing to adapt to someone else’s schedule today may be your way of exerting control over an inequality that’s actually outside your sphere of influence. Others might think you are being childish, yet you are very serious about leaving yourself a little room now to exercise your flexibility. Normally, it’s your desire for stability that people honor, but now it currently works the other way around. Being adaptable allows you to have the most fun.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

If you’re unsure about your feelings today, you might attempt to overcompensate in order to prevent others from sensing your doubts. You may state your case clearly and then defend it eloquently, convincing everyone that you are passionate about your cause. Meanwhile, your angst could become a problem if your ambivalence remains stronger than your need to choose. Assume the best possible outcome and then take appropriate action; the power of positive thinking can’t be overemphasized.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You don’t have to say a word for others to understand how you are feeling today. It’s as if you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve now that the moody Cancer Moon is moving through your 1st House of Personality. Nevertheless, you’re likely to talk up a storm once you overcome your inertia and initiate a conversation about a controversial subject. Luckily, you may receive more support than you expect if you’re willing to take a risk and share what’s on your mind.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can accumulate power today by keeping your deepest needs to yourself. The reflective Moon shifts into your 12th House of Secrets early this morning to remind you of the momentum you can build by not telling anyone about your deepest needs. But even your temporary fear of rejection may not be enough to keep you completely isolated. Consider all the valid reasons to hide your agenda. Then stretch beyond your comfort level and lay your cards on the table for all to see. Revealing your vulnerabilities is hard work that will be rewarded sooner than you think.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your tendency to approach your friends and colleagues with unnecessary caution now is supported by your methodical assessment. Fortunately, your precise perceptions and incisive logic sharpen your intuitive instincts, building your confidence level high enough, prompting you to explain your thought process to others. Don’t be afraid to share your gifts — especially now when your message is so vital.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You need to balance your ambitious nature with a softer and more sensitive side of your personality today. On one hand, you’re enthusiastic to get ahead now that the Moon shifts into your 10th House of Public Status. On the other hand, your commitment to your family may be even more important than your desire for success. Don’t waste time wondering which way to go. Fortunately, your inner voice offers the best advice if you just take time to tune into your imagination and listen.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might not be telling anyone about your new plans for the next stage of your life. Maybe it’s because you aren’t ready for any realistic feedback; however, a fresh perspective can help you fine-tune your ideas. But you aren’t so interested in the little details since the wistful Cancer Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas encourages you to dream about your connection to the universe. Thankfully, you don’t have to take an all-or-nothing position. Sharing a few thoughts is a good start and can get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t have as much time as you think now, so it’s unwise to promise the sky unless you’re sure you can deliver the goods. Mischievous Mercury supports auspicious Jupiter in your 8th House of Shared Resources, enabling you to profit from a joint enterprise if you are realistic in your assessment. Unfortunately, you could be quick to gloss over an important detail if it stands in your way. Exhibiting confidence is healthy, but only if your optimism is supported by the facts.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have your own agenda today and may grow irritable if people make emotional demands on your time. Naturally, you’re eager to help a friend, but it may be difficult to let go of your attachment to your previous schedule. Forget about your own agenda for a while and take your cues from others now. Changing your attitude by temporarily shifting your attention away from your personal goals is easier once you realize that it’s also for your own good.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be a bit anxious today because the moody Cancer Moon highlights your discomfort with your emotions. Fortunately, your feelings can be a source of strength if you don’t attempt to avoid or deny them. Instead of closing down your sensitive perceptions, consciously widen your perspective by concentrating on your long-term goals. Opening your heart deepens your connection with the entire universe.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can be quite playful now that the Moon is dancing through your 5th House of Fun and Games. However, you still must exercise a bit of discipline because others can make an activity seem so good that you’re tempted to drop everything and head off to follow them. Don’t wait for your boss to get on your case about something you didn’t complete. Finishing your work before you escape will only sweeten your search for pleasure.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 19th

The atmosphere is buzzing today and we can tune into the excitement once the Moon shifts into futuristic Aquarius at 12:06 am EDT. We’re open to innovative ideas now as the demonstrative Leo Sun activates a long-lasting square between expansive Jupiter and inventive Uranus that’s exact on Wednesday. Maintaining a rational perspective is nearly impossible because captivating Venus and spellbinding Neptune overwhelm reality with our fantasies.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might feel as if you’re a character in a science fiction story today since it’s tough to tell what is real and what is illusion. You might make a grand gesture now, even if you would be better off staying low key. Nevertheless, you aren’t interested in safety; you prefer to deal with the unknown as it appears. After all, you are in your element when you are exploring new territory, often by rushing into it without a concrete plan. Dream big; the future is yours to create.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your instincts suggest that you should try something different today, but you may not be able to explain why. You are resistant because you typically don’t like change unless there’s a darn good reason. Something isn’t making sense now; the facts just don’t add up. Try not to make any major decisions at this time while you remain open to the possibilities. See how you feel in a few days and then make up your mind. In the meantime, exploring the alternatives brings its own form of satisfaction.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current existential dilemma isn’t going away. One voice is telling you to be realistic and keep your feet on the ground. However, another voice is advising you to follow your instincts, even if you don’t understand where they are taking you. These two diverging paths lead to such different destinations that you don’t even know where to begin as you sort out your options. Keep it simple; start from the most practical perspective and slowly work your way through the list of possibilities.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It may seem as if someone is thwarting your efforts today, but there’s no reason to let this negative energy impact your day. Although you might want to take other people’s actions into consideration, it’s healthier now to just concentrate on the exciting opportunities that are ahead. Even if you aren’t making as much progress as you wish, remain attentive to your goals and tighten your plans accordingly. Your positive attitude can be powerful enough to quickly overcome any temporary disappointment.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You enjoy connecting with others who open your mind to new ideas now that the progressive Aquarius Moon is visiting your 7th House of Relationships. But don’t let anyone distract you from your feelings. Instead, invite them to join you in a mutually agreeable activity, so you can benefit from the richness of a collaborative experience. The universe is offering you a spiritual elixir, but whether or not you choose to share the journey is your choice.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s challenging to know where to draw the line between reality and fantasy today. Your daydreams may feel as though your flights of fancy are quite real. Your best strategy is to continue carrying out your regular routines as if everything is perfectly normal. If you can stay grounded now, you could have something very special to show for your efforts by the end of the day

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might think that you’re perfectly clear in your communication today, since you know what you are feeling and you’re sure about what you want to say. Unfortunately, there may be a metaphysical black hole lurking between your mind and your tongue, warping the words that make it to the surface. If you’re writing poetry or telling a story, this can add colorful imagery to your work. But otherwise, you need to remain on point with your message so that you don’t needlessly confuse others.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The cosmic mysteries seem close enough to touch today as you explore your imagination and bring back treasures from other dimensions. Your dreams are so vivid that you’re able to pluck a magical flower from a heavenly garden and when you wake, you still have that impossible flower in your hand. Don’t try to rationalize anything that happens now. Maximize the current potential by remaining open to unusual experiences and surprising synchronicities.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Fate is working on your behalf today and lady luck is on your side. Imagine a helpful angel sitting on your shoulder, whispering guidance in your ear all day. You don’t even need to believe in angels for this magic to work. Don’t get in the way of what they do, even if they are in another dimension of space and time. No matter how you need to frame it, you have invisible helpers at your service.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you may have a core of strong spiritual beliefs, you don’t take kindly to being pushed into non-physical realms. You are more comfortable when you can perceive exactly what is happening, which is one of the reasons why you accomplish so much. Today, however, a strange wind blows up weird debris from your own imagination. Pay close attention to your premonitions, whether or not they make any sense. Spending time in the dream world now is more productive than you think.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are receiving signals from outer space today, but they may be indecipherable. Don’t struggle trying to translate anything into English, for you can get the gist of the message by just using your imagination. In your heart, you understand what’s being communicated even if you can’t grasp it intellectually. But that is the point; it isn’t about the words. For now, it’s all about suspending belief and trusting your intuition.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your frustration increases if you think you have it all together within your own mind because your assessment just doesn’t jive with what’s happening. Instead of trying to rationally work your way through this dilemma, make time to delve beneath the surface noise. Fortunately, once you sink into your own imagination, you will be able to create a bit of magic. But don’t try to force anything; just ride the waves of spiritual inspiration and see where they take you.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 12th

Relationships may intensify today as we grow less willing to acquiesce in the spirit of cooperation. The diplomatic Libra Moon encourages compromise, but we’re ready to act on our feelings once the Moon enters resolute Scorpio at 4:17 pm EDT. However, lingering fears from yesterday’s stressful Mercury-Saturn square could still raise issues of self-doubt. Learning to show vulnerability is more important than impressing everyone with our finesse.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions sink into the deep waters of your subconscious, making the next few days a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, a wise inner voice reminds you that your fiery nature gains strength when it is supported by your dreams. Don’t be overly concerned if you’re feeling a bit disconnected from your current circumstances. Have faith in your inner journey and trust the process of expressing what is in your heart.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not yet understand what is happening in a partnership, you must continue to flow with the energy to make the most of the process. The relationship axis is activated in your chart now as the evocative Moon moves through your 7th House of Partnerships. Even if you would prefer to be more grounded, you might have to be satisfied today with temporary instability. Listening to what others say helps you gain a fresh perspective on the situation until your clarity returns.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might feel as if you are smoothly gliding along and skating right over a rather bumpy situation. However, you must stay in motion because problems don’t seem to affect your pace as long as you have enough momentum. It’s like your feet are just skimming over the surface, but as soon as you slow down, you fall into the intensity of an emotional drama. Listen to your common sense and keep moving as fast as you can.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Emotional desires wash over your life in waves once the Moon shifts back into sister water sign Scorpio this afternoon. A relationship that may have started as a practical arrangement now begins to heat up. You don’t mind the intensity, for it puts you in touch with feelings that make you think you’re young all over again, no matter how old you actually are. Don’t try to intellectualize what’s going on. Just enjoy your reactions to the current circumstances while they last.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your detached approach won’t be enough to get you through the day. You need to experience the uncertainty that goes with expressing the raw emotions that evade logic and rational thought. Any attempts to sidestep your truth will only cause more trouble down the road. Your mind is active, but you must avoid the temptation of reducing complex emotional networks into overly simplistic statements of fact. Feel your way today, instead.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The decisions you are trying to finalize today may have taken a lot out of you emotionally over these past weeks. Thankfully, it’s time to make your choices now so you can begin to reap the rewards. Don’t focus on your lack of certainty because you will feel better as soon as you move past this blockage, no matter what you choose. A little progress is better than none at all.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Truth isn’t something that you normally like to obscure, but there may be secrets that create a subtle tension in your interactions with others today. Someone might even be covertly working behind your back in an effort to undermine what you’re doing. He or she isn’t necessarily an enemy, but could simply disagree with your perspective or strategy. The more information you can bring out into the open, the better it will ultimately be for everyone involved.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re dissatisfied with your responsibilities today because you would rather put your efforts toward something more useful than what you are now required to do. You might have duties that scatter your energy all over the place. Even if you do what others expect, you still may feel as if you haven’t finished what’s really on your plate. Ironically, simple communication, coupled with taking small steps, is what will pay off in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your thoughts are spinning in circles today because you can’t quite grasp the issues at hand. You know enough to see how deep a subject goes, which means that a quickly applied bandage will not solve the problem. Save your unexpressed anger for another day; it won’t help anyone now. Instead, cool logic mixed with non-judgmental compassion can bring you closer to the truth — and the truth sets you free.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may claim that you don’t understand the full ramifications of what’s happening now, but your feelings are probably clearer than you profess. You might just be avoiding an unpleasant argument, for as soon as you open your mouth the discussion can get heated. As long as you don’t become overly self-righteous, you’ll do fine in convincing others that you have something significant to say. Speak from your heart; the rest will follow.

Current Moon Phase for Aug. 8th – New Moon

Moon & Witch Comments & Graphics

New Moon

(waxing/12% illumination)

The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 6

Creativity is on the rise today as the dramatic Leo New Moon at 5:50 pm EDT marks a clear departure from our past. We want to break free from emotional attachments to start a new cycle that emphasizes the expression of love since this lunation trines radical Uranus. However, we need to watch our step or our roaring bravado can overstate our case. Leo radiates energy from the heart, so feelings are easily revealed but are difficult to take back.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your spontaneity is on the loose and your love life may be on the upswing with today’s affectionate Leo New Moon falling in your 5th House of Romance. Things are cooking and all you have to do is stir the stew. But beware, for there are fears brewing in your own subconscious that can prevent you from enjoying the goodies that seem so close. Focus on the positive while rationally considering the alternatives.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It may be time to plan a party at home or head out on the town with close friends or family. Today’s Leo New Moon lands in your 4th House of Domestic Conditions, but it isn’t all about taking care of chores or responsibilities. This lunation is simply about experiencing pleasure with those you love the most. Although the fun and games don’t have to happen today, at least start planning now so you can fully enjoy yourself during the days ahead.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s a magical day when you believe that you can talk anyone into seeing things your way now that the demonstrative Leo New Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication. You’re quite optimistic that you can get your message across, but your interactions may be clouded with confusion anyway. Don’t be overly concerned with other people’s reactions to your point of view. Decide what’s most important for you, but there’s no need to push too hard to bring an idea to fruition today. Go with the flow and trust the process.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Sometimes your peers don’t appreciate your competence because you’re so adept at supporting others. Thankfully, you can proudly strut your stuff without being too dramatic today. It feels natural to be in the spotlight now while the Leo New Moon resides in your 2nd House of Self-Worth. Don’t shy away from the recognition you deserve when others appreciate the special magic you bring to the party.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be starting a new and exciting project now, building momentum still could take some time. This New Moon in your expressive sign inspires you to share your plans, which is the first step on your new journey. But don’t pretend to have all the angles covered; there are still plenty of details to be ironed out. Maintaining your enthusiasm is the key to your success, so explore ways to sustain your energy without cooling down the heat of your passion.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although many people take a break for the summer, this may be a very busy time of year for you. Today’s Leo New Moon in your 12th House of Privacy suggests there’s lots happening that’s invisible to others — so much that it makes you a bit anxious now. Avoid getting into conflicts with anyone for petty reasons. You can’t afford to waste energy if you want to finish everything you start. Choose your battles carefully; save your fire for the things that really matter.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your social calendar seems to be more important than anything else now that the outgoing Leo New Moon highlights your 11th House of Friends and Wishes, but your signals might be getting crossed. It’s challenging to tell if your desires are grounded in reality or if they are just a product of your own fantasies. Nevertheless, it’s not a good idea to isolate yourself. Even if you are unsure of your motives, let loose and have an enjoyable time.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are receiving an energetic boost to your career today from the lively Leo New Moon in your 10th House of Public Life. Nevertheless, your job — what you do to put bread on your table — may remain unaltered. This New Moon impacts your place in the outer world. Although you might wish that you had more privacy, your responsibilities draw the spotlight toward you now. However, there’s no need to make any immediate changes as long as you spend some time reassessing your long-term goals.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are suddenly riding wild waves of optimism now as you look to your future. But even as you’re feeling your Sagittarian oats with today’s Leo New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas, you may also be hiding something that you don’t want others to know. A seed of self-doubt could sour your plans, especially if others catch wind of it. Be discreet; keep your concerns to yourself for a while longer. Stay cool; it might take a couple of weeks to see how your ideas actually develop in the real world.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You like being in complete control of your life and the director of your destiny, but there are people who may hold some of the keys to your success. The Leo New Moon points to your 8th House of Shared Resources, indicating that you’re better off working with someone else now. What makes the current situation tricky is that others might needlessly flaunt their power. Don’t waste any energy fighting a display of insecurity. Instead, spend your time negotiating solid agreements to ensure success down the road.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Leo New Moon in your 7th House of Companions suggests you might be feeling pressure to perform in a certain way today. A lover, spouse or partner is acting exceptionally nice, but you are certain that there is more going on than meets your eye. However, it’s unlikely that anyone is scheming against you. It’s just that you may be afraid to fully trust the good feelings that are floating around. There’s no rush; respond only when your heart is ready.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could feel like you’re talking to the wall today when others don’t seem interested in what you are doing. However, the Leo New Moon occupies your 6th House of Details, making it difficult for you to see the whole picture. Unconsciously blasting ahead with your grandiose plans can raise the ire of your coworkers. Taking smaller steps now allows you to make steady progress out of the spotlight. Ultimately, narrowing your vision and concentrating on one thing at a time is the simplest strategy to reach your goals.

There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 5th

We might as well be on a Twilight Zone set today since weird twists of fate can suddenly change the plot. Otherworldly aspects between irrepressible Uranus, trickster Mercury and beautiful Venus plague us with interdimensional messages that we don’t know how to interpret. Lingering excitement from yesterday’s innovative Sun-Uranus trine is reactivated when the Moon shifts into extroverted Leo at 12:57 pm EDT, prompting us to act on our feelings.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel panicky this morning if it seems like you missed your chance to express your feelings. You could even be singing the hesitation blues since you can’t move forward now, yet you’re not satisfied with any retreat scenario. However, your impulses might just be on a time delay today. Don’t worry if you can’t get enough traction to start something new; heading off in a different direction will likely have to wait until later when the Moon enters lively Leo. In the meantime, practice patience; your ultimate satisfaction will be worth the wait.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You have quite a bit to say about what’s happening in your immediate environment, but you can’t just blurt out your thoughts because of your hypersensitivity to those around you. However, you’re not willing to compromise your ideas by sacrificing your position through negotiation. Although you prefer sticking to your plan and wearing down the opposition with your determination, a stubborn approach could backfire on you today. Ironically, you can come out ahead by adopting a flexible attitude.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is in the spotlight today, creating mischief through a bait-and-switch trick. You think you’re agreeing to one thing only to discover that you promised something else. Pay extra careful attention to all interactions now or you could end up in trouble. Rash decisions are certainly not a good idea. Contemplation helps you process your feelings so they don’t get in the way of making healthy choices.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your mind is abuzz with thoughtful Mercury traveling through your sign until August 8. Although your emotions are quite strong, you won’t necessarily be very talkative. In fact, you may find it harder today to express yourself in words as you your feelings get lost in the translation. Don’t worry about explaining your internal process. Instead, observe your reactions but keep them to yourself for now.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re roaring with anticipation this morning, as if you were on the edge of something wonderful. However, you intuitively recognize that you can’t just push your way into whatever is next. Instead, prepare yourself by putting your house in order. Fastidious mental housekeeping now helps to ensure your success over the days following tomorrow’s Leo New Moon. Channel your enthusiasm into tying up as many loose ends as possible so you’re ready to go.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your imagination might get the best of you today, especially if you don’t take the time to check out the validity of your feelings. Asking for feedback from your friends is a good place to start, but they may not be forthcoming with their responses. Be patient and give them the room to tell you what’s on their minds. You can learn as much from what they don’t say now as from what they do. Nevertheless, there’s no need to worry about things that will never happen.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is entangled in a bit of strangeness today, drawing you close to the edges of reality. Fortunately, you have support from helpful colleagues and powerful business allies. You are appreciated by others now more than you may realize. Even if your friends rush to your rescue, they might forget to take the time to tell you how much they care about you. Don’t fish for compliments or validation, or you could push away the very thing you are seeking.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your mental antennae are fully extended now and you can pick up signals that originate from a parallel universe. A special evening allows you to see into your future, even if you aren’t sure how you’ll get there. Meticulous planning comes naturally to you these days. Singularly focus on what’s important to you, for this can assure your success in most anything you initiate.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

An uncharacteristic hesitancy may come over you today, preventing you from sharing what’s in your heart. This is especially true if you are also feeling insecure about your most intimate relationships. You aren’t as willing to risk rejection now, so you might quickly swallow your words before they leave your mouth. Don’t judge yourself harshly for holding back. Trust your instincts; you’ll know when it’s time to say what needs to be said.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It feels as if someone in your life is holding out on you. There are significant things to be discussed, but you can’t seem to get others to open up. Even if you can sense the frustration of your friends and associates, you might not have a lot of sympathy for them today. You want more facts; you need to know the truth and you don’t want to guess any longer. There’s no point in hitting your head against the wall. Allowing a few more days before you push for what you want improves your chances for success.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Sun and the Moon activate your 7th House of Relationships now, but it’s still challenging to clearly see what’s going on. You might feel a bit disjointed emotionally, for it’s tricky to know the best way to proceed when you cannot decide upon your destination. The truth is there’s no reason to be in a hurry at all. Take your time and let the situation unfold before you commit yourself to any one direction. In the meantime, gather more information and listen to the constructive advice you receive from others.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might feel a bit confused today from all the mixed planetary messages. On one hand, it seems as if your window of opportunity is rapidly closing. A domestic cycle is reaching its conclusion whether you are ready for this transformation or not. On the other hand, your anticipation of the potential creativity and love in your future tickles your imagination now. Stay with the paradox. Forcing a premature solution will only stop the magic in it tracks.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 29th

Our senses rule our feelings today once the Moon slides into earthy Taurus at 12:42 am EDT. We’re less likely to react impulsively when the laid-back Taurus Moon opposes restrictive Saturn this morning. It may even feel as if our forward progress has stalled. Thankfully, love is in the air because the Moon forms a harmonious Grand Trine with romantic Venus and passionate Pluto. Even with the stress of the day, we can still find time for pleasure.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Let your love light shine since your current strength is not your ability to overpower an adversary, but rather your willingness to respect him or her in spite of your differences. Even if you feel combative, it makes no sense to fight fire with fire. Meet your opposition with sincere appreciation and charm, not angry words or threatening actions. Love more; fear less.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s no fun to encounter obstacles in your path, but the Moon’s return to your determined sign gives you an extra dose of courage today. Recognizing that you’re the source of the resistance you now face empowers you to improve your fortune. Instead of worrying about why you can’t find satisfaction, take a chance by showing others how much you care. A small heartfelt gesture may be all that’s needed to tilt someone’s affections your way.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might have overbooked your day with too many things to do. It sounded like a great idea when you first committed to such a busy schedule, but you may feel like slowing down as the day progresses. Ultimately, the amount of items you cross off your checklist today won’t impact your life in the long run. Instead of worrying about what you didn’t do, concentrate on being present in the here and now. Others will understand if you need to shuffle your priorities as long as you keep them informed of the changes.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Sometimes it’s difficult to stand in the spotlight and be seen for what you bring to the party. Since you don’t often toot your own horn, it may feel extremely empowering to do it now. Don’t be afraid of letting everyone know about your skillful expertise. However, the best way to inform them is not with words; it’s through direct action. It’s time to proudly walk your talk and receive the recognition you deserve.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may want to take the day off even if you didn’t exert yourself that much over the weekend. You might feel like you’ve overextended your limits, leading you to think you have to clean up an interpersonal mess that you inadvertently created. Just remember that your intentions are most powerful when you aren’t in denial. There’s no need to create a convoluted story to justify your recent behavior. Being honest with others starts with first acknowledging the facts.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s magic in the air, filling your day with spiritual creativity. However, you may run into a wall today that requires you to stop and reassess your direction. Reaching your destination isn’t as simple as it might seem. You must be a co-creator in your own magic. Block out some time to meditate, listen to music or take a walk. But keep in mind that your mental process is what’s most important while you are doing these activities. Luckily, if you can visualize it now, then you can make it happen.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are feeling more practical now that the Moon is back in pragmatic Capricorn. You’ve had your fling — real or imagined; now it’s time to get back to work and move your career objectives ahead again. But this isn’t about giving up your heart’s desire because your needs are too strong to deny. You could end up being self-indulgent if you only feed your senses. However, converting your passions into acts of artistic and romantic creation is a better way to use the energy. Don’t be satisfied with anything less than awesome today.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s all about relationships now, but your interests aren’t limited to romantic involvements. There is a desire on your part to spend time with a companion who is willing to help untangle the threads of your sometimes all-too-complex life. Your current need for simplification reveals how far away you are from living the uncomplicated life you desire. Nevertheless, with a little help from a loyal friend you can create a workable plan to get back to basics. Confiding in someone you trust makes all the difference in the world.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may seem like the party’s over today, but you’re not done having your blast of summertime fun. It’s just that your previous path has come to an end as the energy is playing itself out. Everything feels as if it’s winding down now. But maybe this is more of a necessary intermission than the end of the show. Catch up on your responsibilities so you’re ready for the next act when it begins.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Very real steps can be taken toward relaxation and romance today, but you must keep your wits about you if you want to be successful. Don’t worry; you’re not about to be swept off your feet by love. There’s very little chance that you will forget your earthly commitments even if you go chasing rainbows now. Consider what you need to be happy and then move with determination toward making your dreams come true.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may attempt to dance your way around an important issue today, but, ultimately, you must face the question of timing, sooner or later. Sooner is better. Even though you prefer relying on cool logic over irrational emotions, trust your gut instincts instead. Don’t waste valuable energy justifying what you want to do. You know what you need. Turn off the words and open up your heart.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Keep the entire forest within your vision now, even if you’re overly attached to one particular tree. Try not to make a fuss over the circumstances that are attracting you to the most special thing in your world. The woods are full of all kinds, shapes and sizes of trees, shrubs and grasses. Naturally, you can’t touch every one of them, but you can employ your imagination to explore the incredible variety. Your life is a spectrum of possibilities waiting to be discovered.

 

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 26th

What a fantastic day for a romantic daydream! There’s magic in the air as Venus, the planet of love and desire, moves into a surreal opposition with Neptune, the planet of imagination and spirituality. But a simple misunderstanding can lead to relationship drama. Thankfully, a Venus-Saturn alignment helps us keep it real. The Moon blasts into impetuous Aries at 5:28 pm EDT urging us to act on our feelings without thinking about the consequences

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your most elusive dreams have a chance now to come true. The current cosmic connection presents an interesting opportunity, although it may not be quite as wonderful as it sounds. Sure, the realization of your fantasies can be exhilarating, but sometimes our visions aren’t the same once they’ve fallen from the blurry clouds of illusion into the real world. Be careful what you want; you might have to live with it.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You could fall head-over-heels in love with your own shadow today and not even realize that it’s attached to you. Your temporary dreamy state prevents you from seeing the truth as it exists separate from your own desires. The fuzziness between fact and fiction may muck up your love life if you build a relationship on the shifting sands of your own illusions. Fortunately, your current visions can also be put to creative use, inspiring those you work with to reach their goals too.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It may seem as if all is well on the home front. However, there could be a problem now stemming from confusion over relationship dynamics. Keep your eyes and ears open because even the simplest misunderstanding can take you on a wild goose chase today. Nevertheless, you have tools at your disposal to help you navigate through the interpersonal complexities. Use your imagination to explore the various strategies available to you, and then rely on logic to pick the right one.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You must choose your words very carefully today because people filter your ideas through their own hopes and dreams. Ironically, you might be misled by your own overactive imagination. Fortunately, your creative juices are flowing and your next great adventure seems to be right around the corner. However, there’s still a potential for miscommunication so think about your message before you speak. Then say exactly what you mean and nothing more.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you might be sure of yourself much of the time, you’re not feeling so confident now. It’s challenging to remain clear about your intentions when the world seems enchanted. Colors seem brighter than usual, making it difficult to trust your senses. Even if everything is appears awesome, you’re uncomfortable in this all-too-perfect world. However, retreating into your own dream world will only bring temporary reprieve. Let go of your fears and come out to play; you’ll never know what you can create unless you try.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

No matter how sharp your senses are tuned and how precise your analytical skills may be, reality isn’t what you think. You are living in a bubble of fantasies today and your perceptions are shaded by your own internal processes making it nearly impossible to separate the objective from the subjective. When fact and fiction become intertwined, life can get complicated. Nevertheless, minimizing any drama allows you to have enough time to explore your dreams and choose one of them to pursue.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your current optimism keeps slipping out of your grasp like a greased watermelon. One moment, you’re absolutely sure your goals are within reach. The next moment they disappear, as if reality was simply a trick of light reflecting your ideal fantasies. However, you quickly tire of feeling like you are in a fun house where reality is mirrored in ways to fool you into wrong conclusions. Thankfully, everything may fall into place at the very last minute as long as you don’t assume you know what is real.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may sink into a funk if a romantic bubble suddenly fizzles. Or, fairy tales can come true if you spontaneously fall in love with someone. Whichever reaction you have to this surreal planetary transit, you need to be vigilant. Things aren’t as bad as they may seem. But then again, they’re probably not as good, either. What you see now is not what you get. Thankfully, replacing your premature conclusions with a dose of flexibility offers you the chance to create a social life that leads to emotional contentment.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be tied up in a dilemma between your innermost needs and the demands of the outer world. Home and family dynamics pull one way while your career goals pull the other. The professional aspects of your life seem to be at odds now with the personal ones. Even when you try to explain yourself, the words just don’t express your intentions clearly. Happily, you don’t need to find an answer today. Instead, use this time to dream about what you really want; your wish can come true.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your life can seem pretty intense today as you feel the rug pulled out from under you. But you are in a fight-back mood and you’re not going to idly stand by as reality slips from your grip. The problem is that you can’t win this one by using calculated logic. It’s going to take imagination and finesse. Step back from any entanglements and pretend that you are a spiritual master. Once you have visualized a higher path, you’ll know exact what to do next.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your romantic attraction to someone special may stir up a bit of trouble today. You can still get lost in your own fantasies even if you don’t act on them. This isn’t a bad thing, unless you try to resist the temptation to escape into the mists of your own dreamland. Granted, you like it better when you can see the ground beneath your feet. However, being inspired now is more useful than feeling secure, so make the most of this little vacation from the pressures of the real world.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may think you know what you want and how you are going to get it, but this certainty isn’t what you are projecting now. Others are currently experiencing a softer and gentler side of you. Perhaps they are even seeing some of your own hidden insecurity coming through the cracks in the walls of your personality. Vulnerability can be the source of power and not a weakness. Sharing your unfulfilled dreams sets the stage for an intimate discussion that deepens a relationship with someone you love.
