Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 22nd

On one hand, the pace of life seems to accelerate now that the Moon is visiting jittery Gemini. We are curious about many things and ask lots of questions to uncover the additional information we seek. On the other hand, our progress appears to be slowing down with Mercury in its retrograde phase. Paradoxically, we could be moving faster yet more time is required to reach our goals. Instead of scattering our energy, we are wise to conserve it.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have obligations to meet, yet the faster you spin your wheels, the less you actually get done. However, self-awareness is now the key to change. Methodically slowing down your response to any emotional news is a good idea, even if you have an immediate visceral reaction. Don’t put too much on your calendar today; keep some time squirreled away so you can contemplate your role in the web of life.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Anxiety rears its ugly head today as worrisome waves wash through your mind, especially if you are trying to untangle financial issues. Fortunately, your fears could be unwarranted if you schedule time to plan ahead. Seeking a practical solution should alleviate pressures about love or money before your little problem turns into something much worse. A stitch in time saves nine.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Being conscious of the Moon traveling through your sign enables you to stay in touch with your feelings. However, peace of mind is not dependent on expressing every whim and changing emotion. Exercising caution helps counteract the likelihood of reacting too quickly to a situation as it unfolds. Setting your mind on one specific goal enables you to accomplish more than you expect.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your friends and associates may see you as cool and calm today, but unbeknownst to them your fantasies are running wild. In fact, your inner world could feel so intense now that you withdraw a bit from your interactions with others. Ironically, this is exactly why everyone thinks you are more serene than you really feel. Practice cultivating your interpersonal relationships while simultaneously enjoying your rich world of dreams.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can land yourself in a heap of trouble today because your coworkers might not be as reliable as you think. It’s not that they are purposefully misleading you; it’s just that they may overextend their optimism and promise more than they can possibly deliver. If someone comes to your rescue now, gracefully accept the offer of support. However, it’s not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket or you might end up being sorely disappointed. Your secret back-up plan could be just the thing that saves the day.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There are so many intriguing possibilities pulling you in different directions that you could worry yourself silly trying to explore all of them. You might be tempted to throw in the towel and just acquiesce to everyone else’s demands. Nevertheless, it’s wiser to rethink what you can do as you respond to the changing circumstances. Laughter is the best medicine, so maintain your sense of humor throughout all the twists and turns of the day.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Making rigid plans can end up being a problem today because everything will likely change more than once. Don’t bother setting your schedule in stone by trying to follow your agenda to the minute. Instead, be ready to respond to each and every situation as it develops. Thankfully, this spontaneous approach helps to stabilize your day and increase your overall productivity.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Weird weather is blowing into your life from hidden quarters, but everything could shift when the Sun enters your transformational sign tomorrow. Meanwhile, your day is a magnet for odd occurrences that elude logic. Nevertheless, a little trust at the right time can go a long way now, and you may be pleasantly surprised when you relax some of your boundaries. Don’t be too concerned about the current instability; you don’t have to do anything except practice flexibility and follow your instincts.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Everyone around you seems to be running in circles faster and faster, and all the chaos just makes you feel like going back to bed. The truth is that you are moving slower now, which makes other people impatient. Working on a team is fine — if you can keep up with your associates. Unfortunately, the speed of your external world could be a reflection of your boredom. Instead of avoiding the noise of the day, embrace it as a shadow aspect of yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re feeling a lot of pressure as you reach an important deadline or the end of a project. It’s time to establish more stability as a buffer against your desire for change. Unfortunately, you shouldn’t attempt to force a resolution to a conflict or you’ll only end up creating more frustration. Although you might want to experience something new today, step back and take a deep breath so you can appreciate the many blessings you already have in your life.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are ready for fun and games now that the Moon is lighting up your 5th House of Play. Unfortunately, you still have work to finish first. Naturally, you can’t force the week to end any sooner than it will; however, you don’t need to postpone your enjoyment. Instead of reasoning that someone else will bring you more pleasure, focus on your current activities with a renewed sense of acceptance. Being present in the here and now is a conscious choice towards happiness.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if you’re being drawn in conflicting directions today, yet you still might believe that it’s possible to simultaneously follow more than one path. But the weird truth is that all roads eventually lead you to the same destination now. Entertain as many possibilities as you can and then choose the course of least resistance. There are many ways to make your dreams come true

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, October 21st

Communication becomes bogged down today, even if we think we’re really clever. There may not be as much forward movement as we wish now that Mercury is retrograde. Loose ends fray and conversations tend to go awry during this three-week period. The mental intensity is kicked up a notch once the Moon enters witty Gemini at 12:13 pm EDT. Additionally, an independent Mars-Uranus alignment prompts us to break out of our routine and seek excitement.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re eager to blast off today, but the launch may be postponed due to circumstances beyond your control. Communication issues are emphasized when messenger Mercury begins its three-week retrograde phase. Conversations wander off track if you don’t have all the details in place. Although you might be inclined to take a direct approach, it’s helpful to allow time to assimilate your experiences before doing anything about them.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Problems may arise through a misunderstanding with a close friend or intimate partner today. Instead of just brushing conflict aside, it’s best to uncover the source of the disagreement and talk about it while it’s still fresh. Once you see where you went wrong, it will be easier to let it go and move on to something more positive. Extending an olive branch demonstrates your willingness to take the high road.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It makes sense today to stop running around from one distraction to another. You won’t get much done if you keep going at this breakneck speed. Unfortunately, you may be required to go back and redo what you didn’t do right the first time around. Paying attention to details now can prevent delays later on. Cultivate patience as a coping skill to help you adjust your pace. Slow and steady wins the race.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You’re through with struggling to keep your feet on the ground today. Fantasy is overtaking reality, which, ultimately, might turn out surprisingly well. The key is to enjoy your mental meanderings without necessarily acting on your feelings. You could run into trouble if you treat a dream as if it were real. There’s nothing wrong with using your imagination to entertain yourself as long as you remember your way back home.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re motivated to get things out in the open, but you may be fighting an uphill battle as a family member or someone at home seems to be keeping secrets. Your lack of clarity could send you into a state of confusion, but you might not want others to know about your uncertainty. Thankfully, a vicious cycle of non-disclosure can be broken once you decide to openly share what’s on your mind. Don’t let pride get in the way of progress.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Be extra careful as you schedule your time today, since you can’t afford to miss an appointment or get behind in your work. Still, your best intentions can fall short due to an uncharacteristic disregard to the details. Compensate for your current spacey behavior by writing everything down so you don’t forget what you need to remember.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you might want to focus all your mental energy on a very practical issue now, it’s rather unlikely that you can prevent your mind from wandering all over the map. You may be distracted by your creative desires or by a less productive romantic interest. Don’t worry so much about what you accomplish today. Give yourself a gift; go ahead and entertain a playful diversion just for the fun of it.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel as if you’re enveloped in a self-protective bubble today that insulates you from other people’s problems. But you’re not as safe as you think now that trickster Mercury turns retrograde while visiting your sign, creating the illusion of suspended time. You may be unsure of choices as your moods swing wide and fast, making it difficult to take definitive action. Be gentle with yourself until things settle down and you know which way to go.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are a study in cosmic contradiction today as you soar into the highest spiritual realms of your imagination. At the same time, however, you are pulled into the emotional shadows where you aren’t as confident. Don’t try to choose one path over the other. If you do, your reverie might suddenly come to an end and you’ll be plunged back into the mundane world again. Oddly enough, you can be in both places at once if you keep both your mind and your heart open.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your impatience with overly emotional friends and coworkers can stir up more trouble than it’s worth today. You don’t want to interact with those who might get in the way of your productivity, but avoidance may not be possible. Others are merely reflecting your own subconscious tendencies now. Let go of your goals for a while and let yourself drift. Funny enough, sinking into your dreams will help you accomplish more in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Instead of pushing forward on your career path, it might make more sense today to take a breather while you integrate your recent experiences. Taking time to regroup and consolidate during the next three weeks may be the best use of this Mercury retrograde phase. You will ultimately gain more ground if you have the wisdom now to relax and reassess your priorities.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Dreamlike images flood your consciousness today, challenging you to untangle your desires from the real world. But your key planet, surreal Neptune, can easily inspire a spiritual breakthrough now or confuse you with its lack of focus. Don’t worry if the intuitive flashes are impossible to interpret; it may take a while to understand them. You’ll receive great insight about where to go next in your life if you recognize that your colorful visions are direct messages from your subconscious mind.

All About The Libra Personality

All About The Libra Personality

by Tarotcom Staff

Beautiful inside and out, Libra is the sign of partnership, ruled by the love planet Venus and symbolized by the Scales. Ever gracious, fair and balanced, Libra is an Air sign and among the most social and popular of the zodiac.

Libra’s popularity comes from their firm stance in the middle of the road, their ability to put people at ease, and a gift for sensing what others need before they even ask for it. In fact, Libra often sacrifices his or her own needs to please others.

Intellectual and diplomatic, Libra is a seeker of knowledge and an easygoing friend to all.

What we love about Libra

Libra is charming, graceful and fair, and their strong sense of right and wrong makes them popular with almost everyone.

Why Libra drives us nuts

Because Libra sees both sides of every situation, they have trouble making up their minds and can waffle when it comes to decision making.

Libra advice

We know how much you love to please others, but don’t forget to fulfill your own needs once in a while, too!

Most compatible matches

Balanced and breezy Libra is most compatible with equally independent and intellectual Air signs, including Gemini, Aquarius and fellow Libras.

Least compatible matches

Loving Libra seeks balance and harmony, which makes them least compatible with aggressive Aries, rigid Capricorn and moody Cancer.

Moon in Gemini (Aug 27, 2013 to Aug 30, 2013)

Moon in Gemini

Aug 27, 2013 to Aug 30, 2013

Feeling restless? The Moon says, “You’re a butterfly. A kite on a windy day. Soar, spin, let your thoughts roam. Start a couple new books. Visit friends. Enjoy the incredible lightness of being.” And just try to stop yourself from gossiping! That’s Hermes at work, the god behind this Gemini Moon: stirring up curiosity and light-hearted tricks, delighting in stories and finding the world of people endlessly fascinating. Hermes is the messenger, if you ask a question, be alert for the answer. Listen, and it will come. Given Gemini’s caprice, don’t be surprised if the weather suddenly shifts. Take advantage of the mutable atmosphere. Change your mind about something. See several sides of an issue you’ve been stuck on. If your shoulders are tense, consider dropping a few responsibilities. Then make a peace offering to your lungs and jittery nerves. Take slow, deep breaths while falling asleep. Imagine bad habits falling away.

August 23 – September 22

Virgo

by Tarotcom Staff

Virgo rhymes with “Oh no,” which is what you’ll hear them cry when things aren’t perfect. Virgo is a smart and practical Earth sign, ruled by mental Mercury and symbolized by the Virgin — not necessarily because Virgo is prudish, but rather because they are highly discriminating.

Virgo is hardworking, detail-oriented and quite critical, with an uncanny analytical gift for seeing what’s wrong with people, situations and their surrounding environment. This perfectionism makes Virgo valuable to have around, but also sometimes uncomfortable to be around if they turn their critical eye on you.

More than anything, Virgo is a loving, loyal and true friend you can always count on.

What we love about Virgo

You can always count on Virgo to come through for you in a pinch, and they have a surprisingly keen sense of humor.

Why Virgo drives us nuts

Virgo’s perfectionism can sometimes be negative, and it can lead them to become too critical of others. They also have a tendency to be passive-aggressive.

Virgo advice

Loosen up every once in a while. No one is perfect, not even you!

Most compatible matches

Sincere Virgo is a great match for emotional Pisces and like-minded Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn.

Least compatible matches

Earthy, practical Virgo is least compatible with breezy Air signs, including eccentric Aquarius, erratic Gemini and changeable Libra.

Born on the cusp

People born on the cusp share common traits from two different zodiac signs.

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953) c.2013

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953)

B.14. Skyclad (1953)
It is important to work naked from the start, so it becometh as second nature, and no thought of “I have no clothes” shall ever intrude and take your attention from the work.  Also, your skin being so accustomed to unconfinement, when power is given off the flow is more easy and regular.  Also, when dancing you are free and unconfined. . . .
And the greatest of all, the touch of the body of your beloved thrills your inmost soul, and so your body gives out its utmost power; and then it is most important of all that there is not the slightest thing to divert the attention, for then the mind must seize and mold the power generated, and redirect it to the desired end with all the force and frenzy of the imagination.
It has been said that no real knowledge may be gained our way, that our practices are such that they can only lead to lust; but this is not really so.  Our aim is to gain the inner sight, and we do it the most natural and easy way.  Our opponents’ aim is ever to prevent man and woman from loving, thinking that everything that helps or even permits them to love is wicked and vile.  To us it is natural, and if it aids the Great Work it is good.
‘Tis true that a couple burning with a frenzy for knowledge may go straight to their goal, but the average couple have not this fire.  We show them the way, our system of props and aids (i.e., magic ritual).  A couple working with nothing but lust will never attain in any case; but a couple who love each other dearly should already be sleeping together, and the first frenzy of love will have passed, and their souls will already be in sympathy.  If the first time or two they do stay a while to worship Aphrodite, ’tis only a day or two lost, and the intense pleasure they obtain only leads them again to the mysteries of Hermes, their souls more attuned to the great search.  Once they have pierced the veil they will not look back.
This rite may be used as the greatest of magics if it be done with both partners firmly fixing their minds on the object and not thinking of sex at all.  That is, you must so firmly fix your mind on your object that sex and all else are naught.  You inflame your will to such an extent that you may create a strain on the astral such that events happen.

 

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, February 17th

Take a look back at some of your accomplishments of the last 30 days as the Sun is concluding its stay in Aquarius while preparing to enter Pisces tomorrow morning. Have you joined forces with like-minded souls on group projects, community events, team sports and global initiatives close to your heart and philosophy of life? If not, you may want to remember these themes when Solar Aquarius comes around next year.  In the meantime, troubles may be brewing during the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 30 degrees of Aquarius and Taurus at 12:32PM PST). There is a need to cut through problems on physical and emotional levels, and hurdle over obstacles to the best of your ability. Manage your business affairs with greater aplomb and finesse. However, the moment of the Last Quarter Phase (12:32PM PST) also starts a short void-of-course Moon cycle that lasts until 1:51PM PST. During this somewhat weakened lunar condition, Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Saturn (12:57PM PST). Say no to investment planning for the time-being.  Once the Moon is safely located in airy Gemini (1:51PM PST), there is a renewed urge to read, write and enjoy lighthearted hobbies. Take a time-out for a whirlpool treatment, massage or hot-tub session as Mercury parallels Chiron (8:04PM PST). Healing forces regain their momentum throughout the evening.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 31st

The last day of January 2013 has a few tricks up its sleeve. What is supremely helpful is yesterday’s Jupiter turnaround in Gemini — giving hope and renewed confidence that big projects can eventually lead to handsome profits in the long run.  The main source of discord is a Mars-Saturn parallel (5:03AM PST) at 13 degrees south of the Celestial Equator. This Mars-Saturn connection behaves like a zodiacal conjunction and it may remain influential for a good portion of this 24-hour time-period. When the red planet and the ringed planet hook up like this, it’s easy to become your own worst enemy and create unnecessary problems. An abrasive, 45-degree tie from Mercury to Pallas (9:54AM PST) adds another layer of difficulty to the situation.  However, the cosmos begins changing its tune by orchestrating a Grand Triangle in air signs — composed of a Moon trine to Jupiter from Libra to Gemini (10:02AM PST) followed later on by a Moon trine to the Sun from Libra to Aquarius (9:05PM PST). On this creative, affirmative and mind-expanding note, the three air signs offer humanity gifts of the heart, mind and spirit by simultaneously connecting both lights with the just-recently enriched Jupiter — now a very dominant celestial force.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 30th

Forewarned is forearmed — so goes the ancient saying in astrology. This calendar has pointed to today numerous times because it is finally time for Jupiter at 7 degrees of Gemini to leave reverse motion, make a station (3:38AM PST), and slowly turn direct. [Jupiter remains in forward motion until November 6.]  Jupiter’s themes — the power of positive thinking, good fortune, golden opportunities, providence, benevolence, faith and religious beliefs, higher education, literary and publishing pursuits, long-distance journeys, seeing into the future, over-optimism, egocentricity, hubris and arrogance — are emphasized throughout the day.  Your productivity I.Q. can soar — thanks to Mercury forming a harmonious trine with Ceres (11:21AM PST). A virtual stop sign can block your progress when the Sun in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio (2:50PM PST). Utilize the natural happy-go-lucky qualities of strong Jupiter to neutralize the tendency to feel pessimistic when Saturn confronts the Sun.  There is a brief window when the creative arts look promising as the Moon approaches a trine with Venus in earth signs (forming exactly at 6:00PM PST). The problem here is that this Moon-Venus rapport begins a void lunar cycle that lasts until 10:37PM PST. During the void limbo zone, avoid battles of the will as Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Uranus (10:00PM PST).  Once the Moon enters Libra (10:37PM PST), think about helpful ways to nurture primary partners. You can become an expert problem-solver later on and overnight since Jupiter makes a constructive, 60-degree alliance with Pallas (11:44PM PST).

A General Overview of What 2013 Has In Store For Us

2013 Astrology Horoscopes

Change is the name of the game

By Rick Levine and Jeff Jawer

 

The most important astrological pattern of this century started just last year, when revolutionary Uranus and transformational Pluto aligned in an exact 90-degree square on June 24 that repeats six more times before concluding on March 16, 2015. This culture-shaking aspect is the second step in a cycle that marks a change of collective consciousness that first occurred in 1965 and ’66. That was a naive time in some ways, as a healthy economy made it easy to drop out and live an alternative lifestyle, since there were plenty of jobs available when people were ready to drop back in. Alas, it’s not the same story this time around.

Digging deeper, we note that Uranus, the planet of liberation, is in the individualistic sign of Aries now. This might not encourage cooperation, and we can see that reason and compromise are hard to come by these days. Yet it also means that each of us is a unique source of innovation, and that collective change starts with the individual. Potent Pluto in Capricorn represents the controlling forces of institutions, both public and private. The abuses of power by governments, corporations, schools, and religious organizations can easily be criticized … and should be. But the healing forces of change that will carry us through these tumultuous times and into the next phase of human evolution are within each and every one of us. Breaking patterns and discovering new ways to express ourselves individually might not seem very significant in the bigger scheme of things, but the cumulative effect of a million bright ideas and loving acts of kindness will change the world.

The heart of the matter

Saturn is the planet of hard, cold reality and represents the limits that hold us back, as well as the structures we can build to fulfill our ambitions. It entered emotionally intense Scorpio last October and will stay there for two years. Scorpio deals with the deep issues of survival, intimacy and power. It is concerned with our desires and the ways that we measure what we give others in order to get what we want in return. These are very meaningful issues, but ones we are often reluctant to address openly with others or even honestly with ourselves. Yet getting to the heart of our needs is where Saturn in Scorpio’s essential truth lies. When we push past the limits of politeness, niceties, and looking good to others, we may discover some deep hunger that has been overlooked or denied. Maybe it can’t be completely fulfilled, but just knowing what we really want can be a strong step toward creating a happier future. Being willing to negotiate with others in both our personal and professional lives empowers us in relationships and overcomes the quiet desperation of staying silent.

Areas of opportunity

Expansive Jupiter is in jaunty Gemini until June 25, filling minds with a million and one ideas. This is terrific for creative thinking and imagining more options in our lives, yet we can also scatter our energy if we pursue too many possibilities at once. Being selective helps to capture this intellectual inspiration without dissipating ourselves in too much thought. On June 25 Jupiter enters cozy Cancer for a 12-month stay, putting an emphasis on personal security and domestic matters. In mid-July, Saturn and Jupiter are joined in a harmonious Grand Water Trine with imaginative Neptune and assertive Mars. This is a special time for setting long-term strategies, since faith and action combine with vision and reason to lay down a solid foundation for reaching inspirational goals.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 29th

Personal relationships could be a bit easier to manage today now that flirty Venus forms a supportive sextile to mighty Mars.
