This is one of those days when hope is trying to spring eternal due to the monthly lunar union with Jupiter in Gemini (4:14AM PDT). Anytime the Moon hooks up with providential and happy-go-lucky Jupiter, there can be a feeling that fortunate vibes are present and that golden opportunities are within your grasp. However, just two hours after the lunar rendezvous with Jupiter, the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in (activating 17 degrees of Virgo and Gemini at 6:16AM PDT). There is a need to cut through obstacles in your path — particularly your mental and even spiritual pathway. Even if you don’t perceive a block or frustration preventing you from moving upward and onward, you may need to meditate for clarity and lift your consciousness to higher levels of awareness. The cosmos gives you a further enhancement several hours later when the Moon unites with Vesta (1:45PM PDT). This is a reminder to make sure you are protecting your home and business environments, and that your insurance coverage is up to date. Learn more about stock, bond, precious-metal and commodity markets to strengthen your investment IQ. A fellowship gathering or sisterhood meeting may be in the works. Another potential pothole today is that Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini (5:15PM PDT). Think carefully before you speak and act. Moving too fast or trying to do too many things at the same time can backfire. Slow your tempo and really commune with the birds, trees and sky. Let the good times roll later tonight at one of your favorite places of entertainment as the Moon in Gemini approaches its monthly union with productive, nurturing Ceres (forming exactly at 2:07AM PDT tomorrow morning).
Daily Horoscopes for September 7
Today’s goal is to find a balanced point from which to operate so we don’t bite off more than we can chew. It’s difficult to avoid being swept up by our own enthusiasm as the willful Sun squares bombastic Jupiter. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to stay focused as sweet Venus quincunxes boundless Neptune and the Moon enters restless Gemini at 12:09 am EDT. Nevertheless, we get help from logical Mercury’s alignment with disciplined Saturn.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It may feel as if you’re less in control today than you prefer. You might overcompensate by taking bold action, but on the inside you aren’t nearly as confident as you appear on the outside. Becoming more aware of your feelings enables you to react with less fear. Although you can think on your feet better than most, it’s smarter to take extra time for contemplation now rather than responding impulsively.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The Sun in your 5th House of Play is pulled slightly off center by gigantic Jupiter today, making it difficult to express yourself objectively. You want to share everything you feel now, but this level of disclosure might be a bit too much. Although you may claim that you’re protecting someone else from getting hurt, you’re also making things easier for yourself. If you’re going to be stubborn about anything, be determined to grow from your current experiences.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Although you might not be a flag-waver, you still may become so attracted to a political ideology now that it plays on your need for emotional security. If your intentions are pure, almost nothing will stop you, especially if you are willing to bring your own shortcomings out into the open. However, having correct information is crucial, so take the time to familiarize yourself with all the issues before joining the cause.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your self-confidence is running strong, making you believe that you can overcome nearly any obstacle today. Every invitation sounds like an opportunity you cannot turn down. However, you might say yes to so many activities today that you don’t have time to keep up with any of them. Good intentions only count for part of the battle; setting priorities is just as important now.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your social life gets a boost today, yet the attention you receive endures if you stay true to your own values. This isn’t about resting on past achievements. There may be powerful forces at work that you don’t completely understand. It’s better not to confront them head-on just yet. Have faith that you’ll know when it’s time to act.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You’re often able to logically decide what’s best, but this doesn’t mean that you’re immune to bad decisions. You may make a choice today for all the wrong reasons. Don’t put your career aspirations ahead of what you know to be good for you personally. Try to keep it all in perspective now, otherwise you could take on more than you can handle. If you do, you’ll just have to go back and start all over again.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Today’s Sun-Jupiter combination lures you toward over-indulging, even if you are doing your best to avoid extremes. Your desire to do what’s right makes your life more complicated than you wish, but you really don’t have much of a choice. You need to do what resonates with your imagination now that your key planet Venus aligns with fantasy-prone Neptune. Be brave and move confidently in the direction that you want to go in your life.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It’s difficult to find balance when you’re being tempted by so many interesting possibilities. But even if your desire to create harmony in your life is strong now, you still don’t want to miss the social opportunities that are showing up. A strong connection with friends is highly favored today. Don’t get discouraged if the peace you seek seems elusive. It will come in time.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your key planet Jupiter is so stressed today that you could do something foolish. However, you can also express Jupiter’s power in a productive manner by being motivated to make something positive happen. Your ability to think big is both your strength and weakness now because you may be tempted to put your efforts toward a project that is better left undone. Thankfully, applying a little bit of common sense works wonders for you at this time.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are concerned about getting everything completed that you accepted responsibility for doing. But distractions can change the landscape of your day as opportunities appear that look too good to be ignored. Normally, you might be able to keep yourself on track. However, you don’t have a balanced perspective today, making it difficult to determine what is most important. Keep in mind that bigger isn’t necessarily better.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It might be difficult to harness the power that you have now. Unfortunately, you may have to venture into less comfortable emotional realms to make the most of today’s potential. Although navigating through your feelings isn’t as straightforward as untangling your thoughts, this is where your creativity is born. Letting go of control allows your heart to express more naturally — and this is a step in the right direction.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
People may enter your life now to bring you a variety of options, but you could have an unrealistic understanding of the current situation. Try as you might, you won’t likely be able to see what’s truly happening. Don’t stress unnecessarily; the right opportunity will give you the time to think it through. You’re not going to solve the problem today. Be as mellow as you can and see where things take you before making a final decision.
Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for Sept. 7 – 9
by Jeff Jawer
Pushing the Limits
September 7 – 9
It’s a busy, hyperactive weekend that starts with the Moon traveling through diverse and ever curious Gemini. This flirtatious lunar placement adds a playful spirit to Friday and Saturday. But the tendency to push the limits of physical, emotional, and intellectual endurance comes with the Sun’s stressful square to boundless Jupiter on Friday and the Moon’s conjunction with this giant planet on Saturday. Spreading yourself too thin with too many obligations is one way to take some of the fun out of this buoyant period. Yet the friendly Gemini Moon is perfect for chatting up just about anyone you meet, especially when the Twins’ verbal ruling planet Mercury also squares Jupiter on Saturday night. Words slip off the tongue easily — perhaps too easily — as promises and plans are brought up without much thought about their viability. Yet if we take what’s said as speculation, we can enjoy the stories without expecting them to necessarily come true.
There’s a significant shift on Sunday when the Moon returns to her sensitive, self-protective home sign Cancer. Tender moves, cuddly conversations, and low-stress situations provide the sense of safety needed to let others in. This sentimental sign spurs desires to relive the past, so listening to old music or eating favorite foods puts us in a more receptive mood
Your Horoscopes for Saturday, September 1
It’s hard to know what to think as the tug-of-war between reality and fantasy continues. The illusory Pisces Moon draws us into the realms of imagination. However, communication grows even murkier when rational Mercury opposes spacey Neptune this afternoon. It’s difficult to stay logical when we are immersed in the stuff of dreams. Relationships can get tricky now because there’s a fine line between sharing idealist visions and enabling delusions.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You must find ways to express what’s in your imagination today with the surreal Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Fantasy. However, your current desire to escape reality also makes it difficult to follow through with your chores because you would rather be daydreaming than anything else. It can be quite a challenge to channel this slippery energy as material from your subconscious comes to the surface. Thankfully, fulfilling your obligations first frees you up to explore more interesting activities later on.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your life may appear quite differently to your friends than it does to you. Oddly enough, the more you try to unveil the truth of your feelings today, the more you confuse everyone else. Fortunately, if you can rise above your need to set the record straight, you could be an inspiration to others. It’s more important to cooperate with your cohorts now than it is to be right.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
A lack of clarity may cloud your thinking, but you should be able to make the most of your day anyhow if you pay attention to the potential pitfalls. You are ultra-sensitive now and irrational feelings are flooding into your thoughts. Even your sensory impressions can be overwhelming and confusing. Forget about balancing your checkbook or planning the rest of your life; write poetry, listen to music, and dream about your future, instead.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You have fantasies about cutting loose and doing something special. If you haven’t had a real vacation in a while, maybe it’s time to start planning your next getaway. However, you must balance your dreams with a bit of realism if you want them to come true. But don’t be too hard on yourself if you cannot figure out all the logistics today. Let your vision grow unencumbered by facts for a while; there will be time later on to fill in the details.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Be careful because you may be easily misled today by someone you trust. Keep in mind that no one is out to purposefully trick you, but others can inadvertently confuse you if they don’t check all their facts. Furthermore, your logic is blurred by a sudden attraction to fame or fortune. But don’t be distracted by the possibility of your name in lights. Forget about ego concerns and concentrate on taking care of business.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your ruling planet Mercury is stressed by its opposition to nebulous Neptune today. Your analytical thinking may not be as sharp as it normally is. In fact, reality could be just slightly out of your grasp now, with your mind working overtime in the realms of fantasy. This isn’t necessarily detrimental as long as you remember the difference between fact and fiction.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
It’s quite a dreamy day with the Moon traveling through psychic Pisces, which should lighten up nearly any situation, especially if you can find a way to work off some of your excess energy. Your fantasies are so convincing now that it’s difficult to discern the truth. It’s not a great time to trust your own logical thoughts because they are more subjective than you might realize. Your antidote is to do something that allows you to physically engage in fun and return to the real work tomorrow.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your romantic landscape can become foggy and fraught with traps of misunderstanding today. Do your best to be clear in all your communications with others, without necessarily being overly aggressive about it. You could even fall in love with something or someone if you let your guard down. It’s probably safer to seek pleasure from the creative arts now than from relationships, for nothing is quite as it seems.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are already on your way to doing something exciting and daring today. You carry an air of spontaneity about you now — even more so than usual. Although your idealism might attract interesting people, it’s hard to find someone who shares your perspective. Don’t worry if you need to say no to a current offer. Limiting your options helps you to accomplish more in the long run than you thought possible.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It might be disconcerting if you cannot finish everything you want to do now. You have your sights aimed high, but you may be so unrealistic that you end up missing your mark completely. You could grow frustrated if you think you should be more practical. Just move forward slowly, because patience really is a virtue to strive for today.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might have some explaining to do today, but the more you ramble on, the less convincing you sound. Even if you prefer not to say anything at all, you may be enticed into spilling all the beans. Your words don’t quite paint the picture that you see now, so keep reminding yourself to craft your message carefully, make your point succinctly, and then stop talking while you’re ahead.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You’re carrying your feelings close to the surface now, but keeping up appearances just enough so that others aren’t aware of your emotional turbulence. Your guarded behavior is actually an effective tactic, but be careful not to send out too many mixed messages today. Postpone your most important decisions until your clarity returns later this week.
Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 29
Intense passion drives us to accomplish more as the willful Sun harmoniously trines powerful Pluto. However, we’re not likely to run around and waste energy doing many things. Instead, clever Mercury’s cooperative sextile to taskmaster Saturn enables us to focus our intentions with great precision to make something dramatic happen. Meanwhile, today’s intelligent Aquarius Moon encourages us to take an innovative approach to all that we do.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are committed to getting ahead at work today and not much will stand in your way. Although your enthusiasm inspires you, you’re able to balance your confidence with a grounded sense of reality. You would be smart to get busy now while you have a practical outlook on what you need to accomplish. Don’t wait for others to jump in to support you; the sooner you start, the faster you’ll reach your destination.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your romantic urges are strong now and there’s not much to hold you back from expressing what’s in your heart. You’re attracted to the idea of romance, yet you have a very pragmatic approach to a relationship that you want to enliven with meaning. Exploring the possibilities in your imagination is exciting, but it’s not enough. Finding a way to turn your desires into reality is what really counts.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your loyalty to your home and family may come to the forefront today as circumstances require you to supply a shoulder for someone to lean on. But every little thing you do now has more consequences than you expect. Think first before you respond so you can accurately express your deepest convictions. Others will appreciate you more when you take the time to show that you really care.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Although you may be ready to deepen a commitment today, something is telling you to wait. Of course, you won’t likely listen to this cautionary voice of reason because you are feeling self-confident now. Even if you believe that you know exactly what steps to take next, there’s still a part of you that just wants to have fun. Remain open to events as they develop and remember you might have to change your plans along the way.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may be choosing to wear that generous heart of yours on your sleeve where everyone can see how much you have to give. They can also tell how much you need to be appreciated and loved. Your openness is a double-edged sword now. Strong desires motivate you to take action right away, but you must moderate your behavior. Pay attention to others so you don’t inadvertently hurt anyone as you seek emotional and sensual fulfillment.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Sometimes intense emotions tempt you to act defensively so no one realizes how strongly you’re feeling today. The basic problem with this strategy is that your deeply rooted passions may get buried in the process. Letting others know your feelings can seem like risky business because you don’t want to appear inappropriate. Nevertheless, it’s safer than you think to be vulnerable now, so listen to your heart and do what it says.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are a champion at lightening up the atmosphere when a discussion gets down and dirty. It’s not because you don’t find meaning from the mysterious hidden places — it’s natural for you to try to balance the energies. Nevertheless, you’re being pulled into a powerful tidal current of complex feelings — and you might not be able to swim your way around it today. Flow with the emotions and keep breathing. You’ll emerge with a new perspective if you stick with the process.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The radiant Sun harmonizes with your key planet Pluto today, shining a light on that which is hidden. Passionate Pluto symbolizes the dark mysteries that might be scary because of ignorance. However, it’s time to muster up an extra dose of courage and head down into the darkness of your own subconscious mind. Once you know the truth your reality grows brighter.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You might not be feeling as optimistic as you wish today, but you can rely on your strong inner resolve no matter what’s happening in your outer life now. Your core beliefs are changing for reasons that you might not yet fully understand. Let go of those things that have already begun to slip away. Don’t attempt to stop the process because room is being made for new opportunities that will soon enter your life.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You have the endurance to hold your own position, even in these stormy seas of change. You can feel the instability all around you. But there isn’t anything coming at you that is necessarily harmful. Be ready to dance with the unknown, for if you try to ignore the music, it will play louder and louder until you cannot shut it out. Ultimately, your willingness to experience what’s happening in the present moment will enable you to move gracefully into the future.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may feel waves of emotions wash over you in a very unpredictable way today. Your feelings are often quirky anyway, but now you’re getting strange emotional reactions that are unlike your regular feelings that come and go. All emotions rise and fall like the tides, but this could seem more like a tsunami. Nevertheless, it’s wise to go with the flow for a few days until the energy settles back down.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It’s a smart idea to pull back from the maddening crowd today; however, it’s difficult to escape because you may be in over your head with unfulfilled promises. But if you can’t go on a retreat now, at least cultivate a spiritually conducive atmosphere wherever you are. Religious or spiritual ritual can enhance your day, so make time for quiet meditation or get outside in a natural setting that is good for your soul.
Element of Air: Symbols and Associations
Element of Air
Symbols and Associations
Air has the qualities of coolness and dryness and associations with breath, life and communication. In astrology, Air rules the Zodiac signs Aquarius, Gemini and Libra. People born under the Air signs think, communicate, analyze and theorize. They love freedom, truth and justice and have the ability to change circumstances with amazing speed. As thinkers, they rely on rationality rather than on intuition or emotions. Their philosophical approach to any situation allows them to endure harships. Air signs can tolerate almost any circumstance, as long as there is a rational explanation for it. They have great leadership capabilities, with a reputation of being fair. Interested in almost everything, they are lifelong students.
The Element of Air becomes a negative one when Air folks require family and friends to uphold the same standards they live by. Air people cannot understand why everyone does not think and act as they do. They they make a mistake, they tend to rationalize instead of using the situation as a learning experience. They are devoted to abstract idea and have difficulty making decisions, making them sometimes exasperating to work with . In addition, they tend to procrastinate.
Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 24
We are just as easily misled by our own perceptions as we are by someone else now that the Sun opposes illusory Neptune. We could convince ourselves of almost anything we want to believe. Although we grow more creative as our imaginations run wild, it’s tricky discerning fact from fiction. But we don’t have to seek an escape route today; it will find us. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon reminds us that we can journey to places that offer us hope.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are eager to negotiate for the common good today, but you’re not ready to set aside your personal needs. You know all about your financial bottom line and may be afraid of reaching it. But don’t worry; things are not as grim as they appear. Try not to make too many impulsive judgments until you have all of the facts. Acting too soon might lead you into trouble you can simply avoid by planning in advance.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The adventurous Sagittarius Moon is fueling your emotional renewal, yet there’s also another influence bubbling up today. Nebulous Neptune brings a highly spiritual kind of love to your relationships, even if your friends confuse you with their actions. Fortunately, you should be able to draw on your common sense to get some perspective. But don’t pretend you know exactly what’s going on now; stay in touch with your uncertainty, even if it makes you uneasy. There’s magic to be found if you can surrender to the unknown.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may find yourself swinging back and forth between the largest possible view of life and the most specific details. Your imagination soars today, allowing you to see every issue from a global perspective. But it’s difficult for you to act on a grandiose vision. Bringing your mental meandering back down to earth will be rewarded now. Find small ways to move toward the big picture.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You aren’t as resistant to change as your co-workers think. After all, the Crab’s daily rhythms are intimately connected with the constantly shifting tides. But today, as emotional currents finally shift, it may be challenging to tell which way the waters will ultimately be flowing. Hold on to your current position for now. Wait a few days until the confusion clears before taking action.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
If a close friend or partner is hard to read, it may be that your own confusion is broadcasting mixed messages which now echo back to you. If you are uncertain about a relationship, don’t fall into the trap of pretending that everything is OK. By covering up your feelings today, you are setting the stage for more misunderstandings to surface later on. Be honest about what you need while also imagining the best possible outcome.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your spiritual energy is growing stronger and metaphysical interests may take on greater significance these days. Subtle changes are occurring now, even if their effects aren’t yet visible. Although there are big shifts on the horizon, they are already being activated in your subconscious. Quit worrying about the details today to fully benefit from what’s happening in your imagination.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are the uncontested champion of the balancing act, yet today you’re feeling unsettled as the cosmic conflict between the willful Sun and confusing Neptune now pulls you in two directions. Part of you is ascending into the spiritual realm as another part handles the very real limitations of the material world. You may idealize the situation, yet it is crucial to try to see things as they truly are. Honoring both sides — the invisible and the tangible — ensures that you’ll be ready for whatever happens next.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may not know where you are going these days, yet your role in the outer world is still very important to you. You wonder if you should pursue your career or place more attention on the spiritual dimensions of your soul. There are no quick and easy answers to this existential dilemma. Simplify the issues as much as you can and then let yourself feel what it’s like to linger in your own uncertainty. The longer you sustain the mystery, the easier the resolution will be when clarity finally arrives.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are often drawn toward the grandest ideas, since you enjoy living your life in a big way. You may not always attend to all the details, and sometimes they can come back to haunt you. You don’t have the inclination to return from your current dreams yet if you’re wandering on the outer edges of the universe. However, you might not have a choice if the hard cold truth requires you to pay close attention. Take your cues from reality and do the responsible thing.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The inspirational Sagittarius Moon tends to pull you away from more practical realms. It may be more difficult to keep both feet on the ground now with magical Neptune lifting you into the clouds of illusion. You might be required to solve complicated problems involving your relationships with friends or co-workers. Stick to the facts because there is great potential to misunderstand each other’s basic values. Listening with your heart helps to keep you on track.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
One-on-one relationships are a source of confusion today, especially if you don’t listen to what others are saying. It takes extra effort to hear the truth because your words can get in the way of the message. But don’t force your perspective on anyone else. The solution to the current tension comes from recognizing multiple points of view and allowing them to exist side by side now without panicking.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are quite wise to attend to the rigorous demands of your life by taking concrete action and checking off each item on your list of things to do. The truth is that you may find it very challenging to maintain focus today as the Sun opposes your key planet Neptune. You would rather spend time daydreaming, reading a book or going to a movie. Finish your work first; you can fully enjoy guilt-free time afterward to activate your imagination.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 24
Recall that a void lunar uncertainty zone in Scorpio started early yesterday and lasts until the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius (3:51AM PDT). Before the lunar entry into the adventure-seeking, ninth sign of the zodiac, the cosmos wants you to get back on track with investments since Mercury forms a 60-degree rapport with Vesta (2:11AM PDT). It is best to utilize the constructive features of this Moon-Vesta connection after the Moon sets foot into Sagittarian territory. After the Moon is firmly in Sagittarius, you may feel the urge to solve problems and conduct strategy sessions with respected teachers, mentors or friends as Ceres makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (4:12AM PDT). Some of the hoopla, enthusiasm and joy present in Sagittarius Moon become temporarily stifled during the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 2 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius at 6:55AM PDT). Your present goal is to cut through apparent obstacles in your physical and emotional realms. Manage your business affairs with greater finesse. Some additional worries can catch you napping around 4:39PM PDT when Venus makes a frictional, 135-degree link to dreamy Neptune. Be more sensible in romance and concerning money-making ventures under this somewhat uncomfortable Venus-Neptune interaction. Meanwhile, your intuition and ingenious mind are fired up as the Moon makes a flowing trine to Uranus in Aries (5:13PM PDT). If you add on tomorrow morning’s Moon trine to Mercury in Leo, then a Grand Triangle is developing in fire signs overnight that can give your psychic batteries a healthy recharge.
