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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 Friday, Sept. 9th

We gain clarity today as interactive Mercury separates from yesterday’s opposition to confusing Neptune. Additionally, the winged messenger enters precision-oriented Virgo, narrowing our focus and giving us the ability to concentrate on specific tasks that require attention to detail. Mercury’s anxious semisquare to stern Saturn demands that we work harder to achieve perfection. Meanwhile, the innovative Aquarius Moon also encourages originality.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t really need to be acknowledged by others today as long as you feel that your life is moving along in the right direction. The Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Long-Term Goals takes your mind off your immediate responsibilities and focuses your thinking on a larger perspective. Don’t hide your dreams, even if they distract you from accomplishing practical tasks in the real world.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It may seem like the start of your workweek rather than the beginning of a weekend because the Moon is in your 10th House of Career, reminding you to concentrate on your professional development. Fortunately, the assistance of three planets in hardworking Virgo enables you to do your job well. But don’t get lazy; wasting the chance to accomplish something important today could bring regret tomorrow.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It feels as if your head is finally coming out of a fogbank as the clouds dissipate today, allowing you to see the distant horizon. This is a day of reconnecting with your life purpose since your wide-angle vision allows you to gain more perspective. Don’t be afraid to choose your new direction now, even if you don’t think that it’s a final decision. You are closer to the truth than you think.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s presence in emotionally distant Aquarius and your 8th House of Intimate Relationships confronts you with a peculiar problem. You want the security of deep and long-lasting love, yet your aversion to change can pull you back inside your protective shell. You don’t have to alter your approach; just stay aware of the temptation to withdraw from a discussion when emotions heat up and things get intense.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your 7th House of Companions shifts your focus from personal development and onto the people closest to you. You truly want to be present for a friend who needs you today, but you may resent someone who won’t assist you with the same level of commitment that you show for others. It’s useless to compare yourself to anyone else; don’t jump in to help unless it comes straight from your heart.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have very specific obligations that you must fulfill and the best way to approach them now is one tiny step at a time. The community-minded Aquarius Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Details makes it absolutely necessary for you to think globally while acting locally. Even if your thoughts are on the big picture, it’s the little things you do that will have the greatest impact at this time.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your emotions are more in line with the events in your life now that the Moon is in rational Aquarius, a fellow Air sign. Even if you don’t feel very enthusiastic, your innocent creativity can turn a boring job into something more enjoyable. But don’t get so distracted by having fun that you forget your obligations. Finish up your current tasks so you are ready to start a new project in the next few days.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be able to explain what you’re feeling today because there aren’t words to describe your current experiences. It’s as if the veil between worlds is thinner now and you are receiving impressions that are not based upon your present reality. Fortunately, there’s no need to share your spiritual realizations with anyone else; just bask in your rich inner experience and let it strengthen your conviction in the magical mysteries of the universe.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel very social today, even if most of your interactions occur in the workplace. Talkative Mercury, now in your 10th House of Career, tempts you to spend too much time at the water cooler rather than actually working. Fortunately, you are a consummate team player now and will excel at whatever you do because you naturally play well with others.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are thinking about all the possibilities ahead with Mercury in analytical Virgo traveling through your 9th House of Big Ideas. Although your best plans can turn into real moneymakers, it could take a while to see the concrete results you want now. Don’t try to force an issue today because everything will successfully unfold according to its true internal rhythm if you just show up consistently and give it your all.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s visit to independent Aquarius reminds you that you can’t always match up to other people’s expectations. You want to be a part of your community and a vital player on the team, but you also need to establish your own individuality. Don’t worry; you can still be a non-conformist, even while working toward goals that are mutually beneficial.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your feelings aren’t fully integrated with your current experiences, yet that doesn’t make your reactions any less intense. Others can easily misunderstand you today, motivating you to keep your inner world private. You can always clarify things later, but for now you don’t need to say anything about your dreams. If possible, take some time to process your emotions on your own.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

General Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 29, 2011

A day of harmonious lunar aspects can soften the lingering intensity from yesterday’s Sun-Pluto trine, enabling us to let go of any deep feelings that recently came to the surface. Taking practical action is advised as we move toward tomorrow’s lovely trine between pleasurable Venus and auspicious Jupiter in stable Taurus. Meanwhile, the cautious Virgo Moon forms an easy trine with Jupiter, indicating a positive outcome to current actions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re not interested in seeing both sides of an argument today, especially if you believe that your perspective is the correct one. However, you will enjoy yourself more and won’t sacrifice anything in the process if you remain open to someone else’s opinion, too. There’s no need to be so firm in your convictions that you arouse unnecessary conflict. Just remember that even if you listen to what others have to say, you can still remain true to your beliefs.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This could be a highly creative day for you, but you have to take advantage of the opportunities now presented to you. Although you may have serious obligations to fulfill, don’t let them prevent you from having fun. Make use of your determination; once you set your mind on something today, there’s a very good chance you’ll actually be able to reach your goal. Accomplishments may not come easily, but fortunately, your concentration should pay off.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can be the champion of procrastination when an unpleasant task needs to be completed. Be careful now, for you may be able to get away with postponing a difficult conversation for another day or two. Just remember that the inevitable cannot be delayed forever. You’re better off jumping into the emotional abyss sooner than later. Take advantage of the current support you are receiving, for it could begin to fade tomorrow.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may encounter circumstances beyond your control that give you good reason to fret today. Thankfully, you should be able to manage the emotional tension and channel it to increase your productivity. A powerful person may be surprised by your ability to maintain your composure under fire and your willingness to do whatever is necessary to succeed. Don’t bother attempting to impress anyone; just make sure you do what you need to do to thrive in the current storm.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The unflappable strength of your convictions is your secret weapon today. Others may think that you’re overly eager to please, but actually you’re driven now by an overwhelming sense of practicality and you won’t let anyone pull you off course. Saving dramatic expressions of your feelings for another day heightens your efficiency. If negative emotions arise, it’s okay to temporarily hide your annoyance or anger until they pass.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are in your own earthy element today and eager to start a project or just have some fun. But even if you have an overall sense of well-being, you are still sensitive enough to feel a tempest brewing. Although you want to be safe and sound if a storm hits, there’s no reason to cancel your social activities or postpone any scheduled plans. Enjoy yourself for the next few days while you still can.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s a bit unsettling for you to feel so peaceful while others think you’re being ambivalent. However, you know when it’s wise to keep your emotions to yourself. Trust your hunches now; you’re probably more in touch with your intuition while the Moon is in your sign than you realize. But don’t worry if you say more than you intended because everything’s going to come out into the open soon enough. In the meantime, relax and enjoy the calm while it lasts.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your perceptions are quite keen today and it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to fool you. Still, you could have a difficult time focusing your attention on the present moment now because three planets in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals indicate that you are concentrating on the future. However, there aren’t any shortcuts and it will take time for you to reach your destination. Thankfully, your unrelenting determination may be just what you need to get you there.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are all about getting ahead at work today and can make a lot of progress if you put your mind to it. Fortunately, this is a great time to organize your life, and it’s wise to start by reprioritizing your goals. Even if you already know where you want to go, stopping to redefine your objectives is the most useful thing you can do right now. Once you make a decision about your new direction, sit with it for a few days before doing anything about it to make sure that your optimism doesn’t get the best of you.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are feeling good enough today that you are tempted to take on too much, but five planets in practical Earth signs make it more likely that you’ll be guided by your common sense. Ultimately, you’re able to strike a comfortable balance between your need to get things done in a timely manner and your desire to kick back and relax. Luckily, the planets are supporting you now, making it easy to succeed, no matter what you decide to do.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You seem to possess a magic bullet today that enables you to dissipate the stress as quickly as it continues to build. However, even though you can stay mellow, your problems won’t vanish just because you want them to go away. You’ll have to face the music sooner or later and, since you currently have excellent support from the cosmos, it might just as well be now.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although your relationship troubles aren’t over, your positive attitude can go a long way today toward soothing a recent upset. Still, your pleasant disposition won’t diminish your emotional intensity. Others might see right through your calm veneer and understand how passionate you are about doing the right thing. Nevertheless, you must decide which path you’re going to follow, and that can stir up significant conflict along the way.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 23

The bouncy Gemini Moon has us jumping from one thought to the next, unable to find a place of rest. The Sun’s shift into picky Virgo requires us to sift through the intellectual noise in order to separate the useful data from the static. Gemini and Virgo share mental Mercury as their ruling planet, underscoring the need for a logical approach. Mercury is retrograde, reminding us to pay attention to the details before jumping to any conclusions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Apologizing doesn’t come easy to you, yet it’s critical to find a way to overcome your resistance to being wrong. It’s healthy now to admit that you still may have a bit of growing to do. However, it’s not enough to just say the proper words and think that you’re off the hook. You have to feel it from the heart — and getting in touch with your emotions requires you to slow down and listen to what’s going on beneath the ongoing noise of your life.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to concentrate on the good news today rather than focusing on your feelings of insecurity or vulnerability. You are able to project an upbeat attitude and confident self-image now, even if you’re silently concerned about something you aren’t sharing. Your worries may be valid, but you’ll only make matters worse if you believe that you can handle your problems without involving someone you love.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might talk up a storm today, but being chatty is a useful way to cover up your emotional insecurity. You may not have as much self-confidence as others think, but you can rest assured that your feelings will settle down, even if your return to normalcy takes a few more days. If your moods are unstable now, saying less should enable you to be more truthful about anything that’s really important to you.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be stirring up your own trouble today by imagining that people aren’t telling you the whole story. Your fears can be magnified if others have little or nothing to say, but it could be your own emotional reserve that encourages them to act similarly. Rather than asking lots of questions to show your interest, take a risk and share a bit about your own personal history first. Your openness might be exactly what is necessary to get the conversation flowing.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

One of the ways you can acknowledge the Sun passing out of your sign and into service-centered Virgo is to let go of any self-centered feelings. Naturally, it’s important to have enough confidence to successfully begin a new project. But too much focus on yourself isn’t the healthiest thing right now. Disperse some of the imbalance by shifting your attention to your friends and associates. Ultimately, it’s more efficient and fun to work as equals, even if you are technically running the show.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Someone may try to convince you that you’re doing the right thing, but you’re not so sure about it. Part of your predicament is that you can waver on nearly any decision today, possibly creating chaos in your schedule. Don’t let your self-judgment run the show; instead, seek to understand how everyone else sees you now. Envisioning yourself as part of the big picture can help to reduce any temporary feelings of isolation.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be under the illusion that whatever you create now is artistically sound, even if it’s not of practical value. Nevertheless, it’s silly to waste energy trying to justify what you’ve done based on what you believe someone will say after you’re finished. Even if you receive harsh criticism later, you can still learn from your current experience. The best way to discover what you can do is to simply do it.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re usually not interested in messing around with shallow conversations or activities that sidetrack you from more meaningful interactions. Today is no exception with the Moon’s visit to your 8th House of Deep Sharing encouraging you to experience the full intensity of life. Ironically, you might not want to get your hands dirty in the process now that the Sun is in fussy Virgo. Keep in mind that exerting emotional control to tidy up an uncomfortable situation could ultimately turn it into exactly what you’re attempting to avoid.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may be rather even-tempered today, a friend or partner can get under your skin, eventually provoking you to snap. Be smart and don’t try to hide your annoyance because it’s more disruptive if you bury it. Your feelings won’t take avoidance or denial as a viable strategy now. Express your frustration calmly; everyone will feel better once the air has been cleared.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t want to let your feelings stand in the way of your ambitions, but your fantasies can lead you down a dead-end strategy today if you don’t pay attention to the facts. Thankfully, you can negate your unrealistic expectations by asking questions and then listening carefully to the feedback you receive. Integrating critical information now can increase your efficiency at work while helping you to be more realistic in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Others tend to see you as less practical than you really are now. Although you yearn for the ideal rather than the reality because you want everything to be beautiful, there are limits to your daydreams. An imaginative view of the world based on obsessive thinking isn’t necessarily helpful, so don’t get so wrapped up in your own thoughts that you miss what’s right in front of your nose. Deal with the truth today rather than waiting until after the damage is done.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are eager to handle a difficult situation by swinging into action right away, even if you don’t have a practical plan in mind yet. Although you may not be the impulsive type, your idealism can inspire you to react today without thinking about the consequences. Nevertheless, you are wise to reevaluate your options prior to committing to any one path. Postpone the most critical decisions until you have had sufficient time to consider where your current strategy will take you.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 19th

We return to reality as the Moon enters sensible Taurus at 8:36 am EDT. Instead of getting excited about starting a new activity, we are finally able to slow down. Without too many distractions now we can easily sink into our current feelings and enjoy ourselves. And although beautiful Venus aligns with unconventional Uranus late tonight, stirring up eclectic desires, the Taurus Moon reminds us of the importance of getting back to basics.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be concerned that yesterday’s excitement has passed, but now it’s time to settle your energy to sustain the progress you already started. However, you need to be careful, for you can get so caught up in what you want that you forget about respecting sensible limits. If you start to obsess about a person or a thing, take it as a sign that it’s time to stop pushing so hard.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon returns to your sign this morning, enabling you to simplify your life. However, you may feel so lazy that you let the day slip by without getting much accomplished. Fortunately, your senses are sharp and your conclusions are logical, but you still could make a mistake by giving an idea or a person the benefit of the doubt. Everything is not always perfect; processing negative feelings may require courage, but can also lead to deeper intimacy.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your clever words make it seem as if you are completely engaged in an interaction, but your witty repartee is likely hiding your emotions. Although you may believe that limited disclosure is a wise strategy today, whatever you don’t say can have just as much impact as what is discussed. Instead of laughing off an intense feeling, try to express what is truly in your heart.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may receive sufficient support from your friends and co-workers today, but there could be unspoken demands that come along with their help. There are emotional undertones to everything that happens now and you might be expected to return a favor even if you never were told that was part of the deal. But don’t let your annoyance turn into resentment; be upfront and express yourself clearly from the start.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might struggle today as you try to rein in your emotions so you don’t get distracted through the first part of the day. Your heart may be on fire with romantic urges when the Moon harmonizes with sensual Venus in your sign, but it seems that expressing your desires isn’t in the cards right now. Instead of assuming that you’ll get what you want later, it’s much healthier to simply accept the current situation for what it is without clinging to any additional expectations.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to get overly involved in a friend’s melodrama today, but you may be drawn into it anyhow. Fortunately, your ability to be a good listener is augmented by maintaining your cool objectivity. Your practical approach is probably exactly what is required to smooth someone else’s ruffled feathers. Your own needs might have to take a back seat while you help out someone you love.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends set a lovely example by showing their affection and respect for you. However, upon closer scrutiny, everything isn’t as it seems. Feelings that haven’t been shared might be lurking just beneath the surface today, adding a sense of apprehension to your interactions with others. Don’t let a little miscommunication become a big deal. Requesting immediate clarification helps prevent you from reading more into a situation than is actually there.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Relationships can prompt you to reveal more than you intend as she charms her way into a flowing trine with secretive Pluto in your 3rd House of Communication. You might think that sharing your current worries with a trusted friend will assuage your fears. However, nearly anything you say now can turn your best of intentions into an emotionally intense conversation. You may regret expressing your feelings at first, but the outcome will likely be extremely worthwhile.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may truly believe that any difficulty can be handled if you have the right attitude, your theory will likely be tested today. Fortunately, a volatile emotional conflict won’t create any long-term problems, but it could wreak havoc on your stress levels for a while. Maintain a healthy perspective on your feelings by continuing with your regular daily schedule. Your rattled nerves should be calmer tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It isn’t your preference to stop what you’re currently doing to dig into an emotional issue that doesn’t seem to have an immediate impact on your day. Nevertheless, your subconscious mind might be sending you signals that warp your perceptions today just enough to throw a conversation off course. It’s smarter to get to the source of the problem before it becomes even more complicated by your denial.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An attractive friend or lover may be sweet toward you today, tempting you to lower your guard. Normally, you would happily comply, but he or she might have a hidden agenda now, making this a tricky transition. Don’t isolate yourself from those you like. Continue listening but also pay attention to what isn’t being said, because the hidden information holds more sway over your day than what’s actually shared.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your methodical approach to your work today can make the difference between a low production day and one that’s off the charts. You may feel as if other people are trying to bring you down or impede your progress on the job. But even if this is true now, you may not be able to address the problem directly. Instead, keep shining your light by taking the high road. The external resistance will eventually fade if you can avoid empowering it with your negativity.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 12th

The Moon shifted into intelligent Aquarius last night at 11:47 pm EDT, separating our thoughts from our emotions and prompting us to break free of routines that are no longer of value. The Sun’s early morning sesquisquare to radical Uranus sparks our nervous system with inventive ideas. Later in the evening, romantic Venus forms the same aspect to Uranus, further detaching us from our feelings. However, rebellious behavior can lead to arguments.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you haven’t been able to express your annoyance, it could build into outright anger today. However, you might not have a single target for your frustration. Instead, you might feel as if you’re itching for a fight. Unfortunately, you’re probably just projecting your emotional discomfort onto someone else. Of course, it’s better to seek the source of the negativity within. Once you locate it, you will be able to shift your attitude and be more positive in your interactions with others.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be obstinate today without even realizing how fixed you are in your mindset. You think that you’re being objective, but your desire to hold on to your emotional security is warping your perspective. The truth is that your personal life may not be as stable as you believe. Something needs to change; embrace the unknown because you’ll feel better if you allow the shift to happen without resisting it.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may think that you have your schedule under control, but it’s actually your schedule that is controlling you. Even if you try to keep up with the busy day that you’ve created, you might reach a point where you suddenly realize that you’re spinning too many wheels without having the time to enjoy anything that you’re doing. Unfortunately, there’s no one to blame but yourself. Thankfully, taking charge of your life by cutting back on a few activities can change everything for the better.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult to express how you feel today because you may be afraid that once you share what you want, you won’t be able to control what happens next. It’s easy to become excited about the possibilities of having your needs met, but the thought of being rejected — or even worse, ignored — can freeze you into inaction. Don’t try to reveal too much all at once; a little vulnerability now will go a long way.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A unique individual could catch your attention and distract you from your previously scheduled agenda. You might not be able to maintain your perspective as you become enthralled with someone’s freewheeling originality. However, you will be better off if you can acknowledge your excitement without changing your course until you fulfill your previous commitments.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You probably won’t be as efficient as you wish now, especially if you decide to experiment with your approach to your regular job. You usually prefer sticking to your routine, but now boredom may prompt you to try a new method instead of doing the same old thing. However, there’s a very small chance that you could invent a smarter way to do your work, but it’s much more likely that your radical behavior will only add to your workload. It’s better to stick to the tried and true today for optimum efficiency.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Impulsive behavior can lead to trouble today if you take a risk just to have more fun. It may seem that it’s more important to enjoy yourself and be creative in the moment than it is to do what’s expected of you now. Someone else may try to convince you that you’re not making the best choice if you emphasize your needs over your responsibilities. Listen to good advice when you hear it. Don’t blow off your obligations; you’ll be happier in the long run if you save your playtime until your work is finished.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel just as uncomfortable today at home as you do at the office, but there isn’t any other place for you to go where you feel needed. You may want to hide because it seems that you’re not accepted now as a part of your family or your team at work. However, retreat really isn’t necessary; simply tone down your rhetoric. Once you begin managing the intensity of your words and actions, others will once again reach out to you.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have quite a bit to say today and you’re eager to express it in your own bold way, even if you haven’t critically thought about your current ideas. Unfortunately, your inability to keep everything in perspective now can turn a relatively simple day into a very complex one. Remind yourself of your current goals before going out on a limb unnecessarily. A few moments of reconsideration may be enough to keep you on track.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually relieved when others come out and say what they’re thinking, rather than clamming up and pretending that everything is just fine. Passive-aggressive behavior makes you uncomfortable because it’s harder to figure out what’s really happening. Tough situations are not a problem because you can manage nearly anything today, as long as you know the deal. Nevertheless, you might have to wait a day or two until you have all the information you need to make a final decision.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s return to your sign enables you to express your quirkiness without as much reservation as usual. Nevertheless, your friends and associates may not be as happy about your eccentric behavior as you are now. Although you might choose to block out someone else’s criticism or negative judgment, it’s healthier to remain open to constructive feedback. If support from others is lacking now, rest assured that it will begin to return after tomorrow’s Full Moon.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may not feel very outgoing today, but you have a lot to say anyway. Quietly meditating or taking a short escape into the magic of your own fantasies can soothe your ruffled energies. However, even if you slip away from the outer turmoil by vanishing into your dreams for a while, reality will be waiting for you when you return. Sooner or later, you’ll need to face the music.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 10th

This may be an emotionally turbulent day, even with the Moon in stabilizing Capricorn. We would be unwise to underestimate the intensity of the Moon’s square to unruly Uranus, opposition to warrior Mars and conjunction with passionate Pluto. A somber Moon-Saturn square later in the day would normally be sufficient to put a lid on the turmoil, but Mars is moving toward an opposition with Pluto which increases aggression and forceful resistance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There may be too much happening today to process everything, especially if you’re hearing conflicting stories. However, you’re not very receptive because you are afraid of being misled by someone else’s agenda, especially when you are on your own mission. It’s tempting to defend your right to maintain your individuality, but there isn’t as much at stake as you think, so pick your battles carefully before jumping into a fight.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you’re in the middle of someone else’s struggle today and you don’t want to be distracted by another melodrama. You might consider avoiding the conversation completely, but you realize that you can actually have a positive impact on the situation. You don’t need to come up with a solution and then sell your idea. In fact, all you have to do is listen to both sides of the argument. For now, sufficiently airing an issue could be enough to dissolve the tension.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You want to share your feelings with a trusted friend, but your harmless disclosure could inadvertently elicit an explosive reaction. You understand the necessity of exercising self-restraint today because you can sense the delicate balance of power. However, you’re still not interested in changing your mind now. Unfortunately, your current lack of flexibility might make a difficult situation worse. On the other hand, trying to meet another person halfway could produce mutual benefits.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be feeling an upwelling of anger today, yet it seems more intense than the situation would normally warrant. Although you want to express your frustration, you don’t want to deal with the emotional fallout. Play it cool and sidestep confrontation for now. Or ride your passion and say what’s in your heart no matter what. There’s no right or wrong answer; ultimately, it’s your decision to make.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might not show your feelings today in an attempt to avoid a possible meltdown, as your emotions pull you into the shadows. You are more accustomed to the light, making it challenging for you to figure out what’s currently happening. For now, don’t worry about making your point. It’s more important to concentrate on your emotions and to process them in real time, rather than wasting time explaining yourself to others.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You aren’t happy with the role that your friends have put you in now and you’re not sure how to get out of it. There are no quick and easy solutions to your dilemma, even if you are in touch with the group dynamics at play. You may be tempted to internalize another person’s struggle and treat it as if it were your own. However, it’s smarter to just steer clear of any melodrama that isn’t yours. Don’t worry about disappointing others; they’ll get over it sooner than you think.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Others know that you excel in the department of negotiation, so it’s no surprise that they would call on you for assistance now. As much as you might want to help, you have your own decisions to make today. Nevertheless, there’s still time to practice a bit of shuttle diplomacy, shuffling back and forth between the disagreeing parties. Your success depends on not getting too attached to any of the messages that you deliver.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your two key planets, Mars and Pluto, are pulling in opposite directions, placing you in the middle of an intense tug-of-war. You cannot just express the anger of warrior Mars because unrelenting Pluto will quickly even the score. Unfortunately, you cannot just walk away from the conflict, either. Ultimately, you must be as flexible as you can to get you through this tricky time.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t want to be drawn into an emotional squabble today yet it becomes more difficult to stay neutral, even if you try. You aren’t interested in choosing sides, for this tactic will only fuel an unnecessary conflict that wastes your time. Be an outspoken community member and talk about the pitfalls of supporting fearful negativity. Follow your own brand of spirituality and let your love light shine.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A relationship may be a major source of stress now as battle lines are drawn, making it harder to remain civil. You might prefer sorting out your differences through cool and calm communication, yet you can easily slip back into engaging in the needless drama. Instead of being forthright and expressing all your feelings today, act judiciously. A little bit of discretion goes a long way to settle everyone’s frazzled nerves.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s not easy to maintain objectivity today, even as you try to see the pros and cons of a co-worker’s plan. You think that you know what’s best and you aren’t afraid to tell everyone who asks. But rather than judging others, you are wiser to clean up your own act first. Making small improvements throughout the next several days is a better idea than wasting time blaming another person for your dilemma.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your friends may think that they’re helping you today, but you believe that their behavior is too controlling. However, it feels awkward to come right out and tell them to back off because that would just alienate your most supportive allies. Still, it may be time to dig in your heels by setting clear personal boundaries that enable you to feel truly independent.

Welcoming The Dawn Meditation

Welcoming The Dawn Meditation

 
In many spiritual traditions dawn–when the world is at its most peaceful–is regarded as an ideal time for meditation. Just before dawn go outside and find a place to sit and watch the sunrise. As the sun emerges above the horizon, fill your awareness with brightening hues of the sky and rejoice in the beauty of the new day. Feel the golden rays of the sun warm your face and allow hope to fill your heart and refresh your spirit. You have started the day well.
 
If the weather is poor or you are unable to get a clear view of the sunrise, visualize the dawn instead.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Aug. 5th – Aug. 7th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

All or Nothing

August 5 – 7

Controlling your passion is a key to enjoying this weekend, which starts off with the Moon’s move into emotionally intense Scorpio on Friday morning. This lunar placement is all about desire and the craving for connection. But there’s a paradox within Scorpio’s nature — this sign can provoke risky personal behavior, but sometimes the depth of personal needs is so great that the tendency is to withdraw and hide from others. Being secretive, of course, does not earn trust, but blazing eyes and a hungry heart can frighten some people away.

Managing these extreme emotions well includes learning how and when to share them. Stop and consider the person you are with and his or her capacity to respond. There’s no sense in being overly seductive in a public place or with a shy individual who can be embarrassed by this kind of behavior. Profound interest in another can be expressed in subtle ways that allow you to move toward intimacy without making a big show of it. Seek out quiet places where whispered conversations and gentle touches cultivate the romantic connection you want.

The Moon’s placement in passionate Scorpio can also peel away layers of politeness and practicality to reveal what you want most from a partner. It’s hard to settle for less or to dance around emotions with this lunar position. You either want all of someone or nothing at all, making it less comfortable to engage in light chitchat or playful flirtations.

The mood lightens considerably on Sunday morning when the Moon fires into outgoing and optimistic Sagittarius, pulling you out of the deep emotional waters and lifting the heavy veils of intensity so playtime can begin. Relationship dramas fade so you can have the freedom to stretch your wings to explore new worlds or to embark on a fun adventure with the one you love.

Your Daily Number for August 1st: 4

You’re capable, realistic, and especially good at planning today. An important opportunity may present itself; however, it’s best to exercise skepticism. Review all facts attached to an offer or proposal. It’s quite possible that someone may be exaggerating or lying. If this is indeed the case, avoid emotional confrontations.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for the Week of 29 – 31

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Road to Romance

July 29 – 31

Opportunities abound for starting a new romance or reviving interest in a current relationship this weekend. Things may start out slowly with the Moon in self-protective Cancer on Friday, which is better suited for low-key family events and a bit of rest and relaxation. Then there’s a dramatic shift of mood beginning very late on Friday night and kicking into high gear on Saturday.

The Sun and Moon join in the sign of the Lion, marking the New Moon in a dramatic fashion. This fiery lunation starts a fresh cycle that’s rich with energy, enthusiasm and extravagance. Some of us may go overboard in expressing ourselves, perhaps overwhelming shy individuals with the sheer force of our personalities. Proud and powerful Leo encourages us to be bold in our pursuit of love and happiness. The key to making magic happen is to avoid taking life too seriously.

When Leo is light and playful, it creates a delightful atmosphere in which everything feels like a game. We’re willing to open up and take risks with people who are fun, lively and straightforward. But when insecurity strikes and egos weaken, we tend to try too hard and might appear pompous or pretentious.

Generosity gets hearts beating faster during this demonstrative Leo lunar transit. When attention is put on making others happier, barriers drop and the road to romance opens. Whether it’s lending a helping hand without being asked, delivering a gift for no special reason or offering an unsolicited compliment, the more you give, the more you’ll receive in return.

 

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for July 22 – 24

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

Cozy Connections

July 22 – 24

There’s a mix of fiery adventurousness and earthy caution that affects your social life this weekend. This cosmic pattern emerges on Friday night when the Sun enters creatively courageous Leo while the Moon moseys into bucolic Taurus. Expect contrasting cues and fluctuating feelings as you shift between Leo’s desire to touch hearts and take chances in self-expression and Taurus’ preference to remain comfortable by staying grounded with predictable activities and people.

One thing these signs have in common is that they occupy the middle of their seasons, which makes them fixed signs, the stubborn ones that are the most resistant to change. Now that’s fine if you’re all set to cuddle up on the couch with your sweetie and not leave the house for two days. But if you’re in the real world dealing with real people, overcoming the childlike urge to stamp your feet and refusing to budge will go a long way to reducing conflict.

Still, everyone can enjoy the dramatic side of Leo by being more romantic than usual. Slowing down to communicate with greater focus and attention is one way to bring more passion to a relationship.

The Moon in comfort-seeking Taurus also favors a more easygoing pace as this sensual sign is made for enjoying life’s sweet delights. Good food, silky textures, soothing sounds and tender touch are especially alluring now. Simply spending time with someone you love outside in nature (or any comfortable setting) cultivates a cozy connection.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 20th

The air is charged with the potential for sudden change when the Moon pops into spontaneous Aries at 12:25 pm EDT. This shift is our monthly wake-up call to start another journey around the zodiac, yet the Moon’s conjunction with shocking Uranus releases stored tension like a bolt of lightning. Additionally, the Moon’s stressful square to shadowy Pluto reminds us that keeping secrets can backfire, even if there is a strategic reason to do so.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There is plenty of excitement today, yet you have no way of knowing what will happen next. Contrary to popular belief, you actually enjoy a bit of stability, but the routine can get to you, prompting you to crave dramatic change. However, you would prefer to be in control, but you might not be in charge now. Accept the challenge by letting go and trusting that someone else will step in and do the right thing.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Everyone seems to be acting strangely today as if they want more independence but are afraid to ask for it. You don’t want to prevent others from taking charge of their lives, but your insecurities might get in the way of your reaction. Don’t shy away from exploring your own fears now, for you may have lessons to learn about your irrational feelings. Taking the time to sort through your emotional process can help more than you think.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Unconventional ideas about your future can be upsetting to the status quo, yet you cannot stop thinking about them. You might even find that you enjoy the uncertainty as you eagerly plot your next move. However, it’s not beneficial to pick a path too quickly. In the meantime, research all the alternatives so you can make an educated choice. The more options you have now, the better the outcome will be when you’re finally required to choose your direction.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You feel a familiar discomfort if you respond impulsively now. Sometimes you miss a wonderful opportunity because you worry about making a wrong decision. Today, however, inaction is not your problem. You are excited and want to get started in a hurry. But if you act too soon, you may find yourself considering the roads not taken. It’s smarter to be cautious before you make your move; there’s not as much of a hurry as you might think.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are apt to lose your temper today if you think that someone is preventing you from doing a job your way. Or, your rash behavior could provoke someone else’s anger. Either way, remember that extreme feelings stem from a deeper imbalance and you won’t solve anything by just suppressing your emotions. A real solution comes from analyzing your assumptions and unraveling your logic so you can deal with the source of your motivation in a calm and reasonable manner.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Others may seem totally irrational today and their unexpected behavior can be very unsettling. However, the Moon’s entry into confrontational Aries gives you permission to express your concerns, even if it precipitates an argument. But don’t spend too much time questioning yourself and sorting through all your options. Your most reliable strategy now is to act first and ask questions later.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Taking a break from your work is a healthy thing to do now, especially if you have something to show for your recent efforts. Instead of focusing on your responsibilities, pay more attention to your personal life. Whether you’re seeking out a new relationship or trying to revitalize an old one, don’t be afraid to express your feelings as directly and succinctly as you can. Your honesty and clarity may be enough to create the fireworks you crave.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be in for a surprise today as the fiery Aries Moon-Uranus conjunction zaps your 6th House of Work. You don’t need to look for trouble; it will probably find you. However, any problems that come to the surface now are just revealing something that you’ve been trying to avoid. Don’t worry if things get out of hand for a while; circumstances will become more supportive, even if it takes a day or two for your stress to settle down.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t like receiving mixed messages because they make you feel as if you’re unable to respond properly. You enjoy the excitement of riding along on a rapidly moving current that’s carrying you to an unknown destination. However, your swift movement still can meet resistance today, which provokes you to push even harder. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to progress any faster, so avoid the temptation to rush the process. Ultimately, practicing patience is more productive now than forcing the issue.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The hectic pace increases throughout the day, making it difficult for you to find respite today. Although you’re drawn toward the action, you may feel frustrated if you cannot get resolution on an important dilemma now. But don’t turn an insignificant question into one of ultimate concern just to relieve your boredom. You don’t need any more distractions, so just be quiet and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t want to waste your time while waiting around for someone else, but you may also have your own delays to manage today. You know something big is about to happen, yet you don’t seem to be able to push things along. Unfortunately, you can frustrate yourself if you don’t change your perspective. Settling back into your comfort zone for a while won’t be difficult if you remember that the real fun is still on the way.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although the Moon leaves your sign midday, you still feel emotionally charged. Your morning moodiness can explode into a barrage of words if you think that your feelings aren’t being respected by your friends or co-workers. But you won’t reach satisfaction through dialogue now; talking about your concerns might only make matters worse. Instead of attempting to force change, focus on adjusting your own attitude. When your outlook improves, so will everything else.
