Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 11th

It’s easy for our feelings to grow out of control once the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 5:46 am EDT. We’re motivated to express ourselves in a big way without worrying about the consequences, but we can miss important subtleties in our rush for recognition. Fortunately, we get cosmic help as energetic Mars in interactive Gemini creates a supportive sextile with communicator Mercury. However, the quickest response isn’t always the best one.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re very excited about all the possibilities in your life now that the fiery Sagittarius Moon is tempting you to push your limits even further. You could even believe that the signs are telling you to go ahead and do it all, even if you don’t have enough energy to keep up with such an active schedule. Be smart and practice saying no, or you might spread yourself so thin that you end up exhausting yourself and having no fun at all.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may spend too much money on something you don’t really need, but impulsive purchases aren’t necessarily a smart idea today. Although you might regret your momentary lack of fiscal discipline, you could be motivated to act now if you think that you’ll lose your chance by letting the opportunity pass. However, the sense of urgency is an illusion and isn’t based on what’s actually happening. You can avoid buyer’s remorse if you simply take extra time to weigh your options prior to opening your wallet.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury harmonizes with pushy Mars in your friendly sign today, provoking you to talk up a storm. But however enticing a social invitation sounds now, you might need some time to relax away from other people. Everyone seems to be encouraging you to do more, but you don’t have to live up to their expectations. Instead of succumbing to peer pressure, listen to your own voice and do what sounds right.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment may mean that your big ideas about what you intend to accomplish at work today are not realistic. It’s healthy to remember that even your most sensible plans might need to be set aside if you’re distracted by something more interesting than your responsibilities. It’s not that you’re feeling scattered; it’s just that boredom is setting in. It’s okay to explore new avenues of expression as long as you follow through with everything you start.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are highly enthusiastic about playing with your friends, even if you have real work to do today. It’s hard to get the fun and games out of your mind, whether or not you can participate in them. However, you may be tired of having to take the lead to make anything happen. Acknowledging that you deserve some downtime is part of your solution now; the other part is scheduling your day so you fit in some work and some play.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel as if you’re at odds with yourself today because you can’t find the right balance between too little and too much. You are naturally competent in handling details. However, your current extravagance tempts you to promise more than you can deliver, especially if you skim over a crucial piece of information. Thinking about all the possibilities now is healthy as long as you remember that your common sense is still your greatest asset.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends may believe that you’re a bit imbalanced today, especially if your optimism pushes you toward big thinking. Although everything may appear better than it actually is now, you might overcompensate by seeing potential problems everywhere you look. Keep in mind that the truth is somewhere in between the extremes and it’s smarter to moderate your enthusiasm rather than going overboard in either direction.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be willing to let go of your financial concerns, even if you’re more positive now about the future. The upbeat Sagittarius Moon shines a spotlight on your 2nd House of Possessions now and you recognize that your success depends upon consolidating your gains. If you try to bolt ahead too quickly, you may end up jeopardizing your progress. Allow your enthusiasm to build, but move forward cautiously until you build a momentum that you can sustain.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s return to inspirational Sagittarius reminds you of how significant your feelings are to your happiness. Unfortunately, you are sometimes tempted to override your emotions if they get in the way of an exciting activity. However, you are unable to ignore what your body tells you today. Your moods are vital indicators of your overall well-being now, so pay extra careful attention to honoring what your heart needs.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Paradoxically, you may be very talkative today, even though you might prefer being left alone. You aren’t ready to engage with the noise of the world now and it would be wise to avoid unnecessary social events and gatherings of large groups of people. Initiating meaningful one-on-one conversations allows you to connect on a deeper level with someone special. Even if being accepted by a club or a clique could help you achieve your goals, save the socializing for another day.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re buzzing today as the Moon in your 11th House of Friends and Associates fires up your social life, even if it’s a workday. It’s not easy to stay serious about your job now, unless it involves interacting with your peers. You want to be connected with your tribe, even if it’s in a business rather than a personal setting. Fortunately, you’ll receive the support and admiration of your co-workers if you take care of your obligations as expected.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your vision of the future captures the imagination of your associates today, leading you to assume a greater amount of authority. You may not want to be the boss, but others realize that you’re one of the few people who actually understand what’s happening. Don’t turn down a leadership role if you are chosen by your peers. Stand up and play your part; you will be able to step back with a sense of accomplishment later on.

Daily Horoscopes for July 6th

We receive stabilizing support from ambitious Saturn’s easy trine to assertive Mars because we’re able to see results from what we do today. It’s wise to use this energy to consciously start a project now without taking any shortcuts. Meanwhile, the discriminating Virgo Moon reminds us that perfection is worth attaining. Although we may become so hung up in the details as we consider each alternative, the answers won’t come from logical analysis.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although this has been a high-intensity week, you’re ready to settle down and get some work done as your key planet Mars is motivated by taskmaster Saturn. Thankfully, the discriminating Virgo Moon helps you limit unnecessary activities. Rather than wasting time and scattering your energy, focus on the variety of things you have to do now. Even if it’s difficult for you to commit to a schedule, today it is required.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may breathe a sigh of relief now that the Moon is in fellow Earth sign Virgo. A familiar wave of practicality washes away the heightened intensity of the past few days. But this is no time to get lazy, for there is still so much to do. Fortunately, your actions seem to be on target today, enabling you to accomplish what must be done.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are pulled in several directions as you sort out the most productive way to move through your busy day. Although you’re eager for experiences that pique your curiosity, you don’t have enough time to take everything in. You may be quite talkative and wish that you could interact with nearly everyone you meet, but you must make tough choices and limit your activities. Finding balance isn’t easy, yet thinking carefully about your decisions before you make them assures the best possible outcome.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Others may not be able to see past your hard-working exterior today, but your emotions are running strong and deep. You’ll feel better once you take a few deep breaths and give yourself some time to contemplate what works best for you. Otherwise, you’ll just get swept up into doing what’s expected, even if it means hiding what’s truly important to you now. If anyone pressures you to do anything that’s outside of your comfort zone, set clear boundaries before things become more complicated.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A melodrama is beginning to fade while your common sense grows stronger by the hour. You have no interest in being waylaid by anyone’s emotionally intense story today, especially one that appears to go nowhere useful. Instead, apply your efforts toward making your day more efficient. Work hard, but once you meet your obligations, choose rest over frivolous activities. Conserving your energy is wise because it will take you longer than a day or two to finish your project.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to your sign is a strong reminder today that efficiently managing your internal world is a necessary part of putting your external affairs in order. Today’s attitude sets the stage for what’s ahead and if you let yourself become overwhelmed, things will only get harder to handle as the days fly by. But positive thinking isn’t enough; hard work is your most reliable tactic to achieve success.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You aren’t eager to reveal your innermost feelings today, but thankfully others might not even notice that you’re hiding something. It isn’t that you have big dark secrets; you’re just trying to prevent your relationships from growing more complicated. Consider the potential impact of what you do prior to taking action. Practicing a bit of self-restraint now is easier than dealing with the negative consequences afterward.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends may be overly critical about your work today as the Moon finishes up her stay in your social 11th house. Fortunately, you are self-assured now, enabling you to use the valuable feedback you receive without getting discouraged by anyone else’s judgments. Utilizing your common sense helps you avoid taking any comments too personally.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You want everyone to accept your authority today as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Public Status. However, it isn’t enough to be right; you also want others to appreciate you for your intelligence and your competence. Still, it’s tempting to get sidetracked by big ideas, so keep your plans simple and then do your best to make them real.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Ironically, it’s easier to have fun today if you also have responsibilities that demand your attention. Even if you cannot act on the spur of the moment to join others in a playful activity, you can include time for socializing into your schedule. As paradoxical as it sounds, establishing an agenda allows you to be more spontaneous.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to focus on your work today when you have so much self-analysis going on in your own mind. You are smart to channel your internal noise into creative pursuits, rather than just wasting your energy. Don’t be concerned if others think you are too serious now. You have pressing matters to handle that don’t leave you with a lot of time to engage in social niceties. Your actions will speak for you, instead.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may want to do things your own way today, you’ll get along better with everyone if you respect the perspectives of others. Don’t get so wrapped up in your own work that you cannot be sensitive to someone else. But there’s no reason to set aside your own needs in deference to the preferences of your workmates. Finding common ground enables you to do your own thing while still following the rules of the game.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 1

The nurturing Cancer New Moon at 4:53 am EDT is a Solar Eclipse, marking a powerful turning point in our relationships. The eclipse’s stressful aspects to radical Uranus, karmic Saturn and intense Pluto raise the stakes in every emotional interaction. We may feel as if we’re being bounced around in stormy seas, yet our flexibility helps us conserve our energy for later. Patience may be our best strategy when responding to these strong currents.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The resistance you face can stop you in your tracks today, but it’s crucial that you don’t give up on a good idea. If you initially miss the lesson you’re being taught, slow down and listen carefully to what’s being said. The obstacles are more easily handled once you accept that they are there for a reason. Ironically, it’s less important to reach your destination now than it is to fine-tune your plans.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you probably have a very busy day ahead of you, it still may be hard to get going. Even after you begin your day’s work, you’re tempted to get by with doing less. But your energy builds and you’ll be ready to overcome anything that stands in your path once you find your pace. Just remember that you’re not the only one with an ambitious agenda. Getting the facts from another point of view can change your perspective and increase your options.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tempting to waste the day running around in circles just trying to keep up with everything. But you may not get anywhere unless you’re willing to take some time for contemplation today. Be careful, for your current strategy should not be thought of as a retreat. You must stabilize the progress you already made because you could jeopardize your success if you continue to move too fast. Remember, reaching your goals is more like running a marathon than a sprint.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse can be a harbinger of an energetic shift within your family. You could bury your head in the sand and be totally surprised by what happens, or you can co-create your future by living the change you seek. Start by sitting down and writing a list of resolutions, as if it is New Year’s Day. Focusing your intentions during the eclipse plants significant seeds of thought in your fertile imagination.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse falls in your 12th House of Endings, revealing an unusual blending of two cycles, since the New Moon is like a fresh start. But beginning something new prior to completing old business can be problematic. Allow the current process to play out naturally or you might miss your chance. Your best bet is to stay aware of the interrelationship between what you are finishing and what you want to do next.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel isolated today as the moody Cancer Eclipse shakes your 11th House of Community. At first, people that you usually count on are not as accessible as you wish. Fortunately, your true friends will come through just in time with the support that you need. Don’t draw the wrong conclusions prematurely; give others the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the worst.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel the pressure to make a career move today as the Solar Eclipse activates your professional 10th house. But a minor family crisis may add stress to your day, especially if you’re already not seeing eye to eye with another family member. You might not be happy about how someone tries to control the situation now, but you should heed the smart advice, rather than throwing out an idea just because it makes you uncomfortable.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This caring New Moon Eclipse in softhearted Cancer helps you build emotional continuity, although it may come with a component of drama. You may be happy to know who you are and where you are heading. But your perspective can be so intense that you feel as if you must stand up for your beliefs. You need to tread extra carefully now, for you could inadvertently provoke a conflict by resorting to aggressive behavior. Try channeling your passion into physical activities instead.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might be a bit uncertain as today’s Solar Eclipse evokes a sense of discomfort by pushing you to explore feelings that you would rather forget. Don’t belittle a friend’s melodrama by judging it as unimportant just so you don’t have to get involved. Your willingness to partake in a meaningful dialogue may be just what’s needed to take a relationship to a new level of intimacy.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

An overly emotional interaction with a friend or partner today reveals that he or she has more going on now than you previously thought. You can tell that there’s a suppressed power issue in the background, but you don’t know what to do about the imbalance. If you confront it head-on, you could make matters worse. But if you let it slide, you may end up contributing to the weird energy. The conversation might be awkward at first, but if you can talk about your uneasiness without blaming anyone else you will be able to make a positive difference.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t think that you’re harboring any resentments about your job, but it’s still not easy to let go of an unresolved hurt. Fortunately, you have a pretty good grasp of the source of your current negativity and it’s up to you now to clear the air. Be open to receiving helpful support from those who love you. Leaning on your friends and family gives you the strength to process your feelings and get on with the real work at hand.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can finally stand firmly on the ground again after an extended period of uncertainty. But things are not as they seem and your foundation might not be as strong as you once thought. Don’t get hooked into overcompensating today; there’s really no good reason to flaunt your confidence. Nothing is gained by setting up a competitive dynamic where others are threatened by your success. Softening your stance now helps to relieve tensions and bring harmony back into your relationships.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, June 26

The radiant Sun forms a dynamic square with radical Uranus today, shaking up the status quo and driving us to the edge of unorthodox behavior. We’re tempted to take unnecessary risks to express our eccentricities, however fleeting they may be now. We need not worry if someone accuses us of being weird as long as we remember to treat others nicely. And, the practical Taurus Moon reminds us that we can also find satisfaction in simple pleasures.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might do something that upsets someone today because you’re willing to gamble your security for the possibility of an amazing experience. You’re more ready than ever to push the envelope of your reality. However, caution is advised because you won’t likely get what you want unless you are willing to make a strategic plan first. Remember, what you do before you take action is as important as what you do after.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Chaotic Uranus can take you for a wild ride today, leading you to temporarily forget that you like things simple. You may feel ready to rock the boat and shake up your mellow routine. However, fulfilling fantasies shouldn’t be your focus; what’s really important is to free up your imagination so you can visualize the amazing possibilities that are outside of the box.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your energy may be scattered today as you try to express yourself in new and different ways. Fortunately, you’re able to bend the rules now or even make them up as you go. It’s exhilarating when everything falls into place and goes according to your plan. Enjoy the fun while you can, but don’t expect it to last. You’ll need to return to reality and take care of unfulfilled obligations sooner or later.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Restless Uranus squares the Sun in your sign today, provoking you to come out of hiding. You aren’t overly concerned about the consequences of your actions now because it feels as if you can get away with being yourself without others judging you. Although acting spontaneously is refreshing, you could still do something foolish if you don’t consider how you might feel later. It’s great to express yourself, but think before you act.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have big dreams about what you want to do for adventure, but it may not be that easy to turn your ideas into reality. Instead of procrastinating today, it’s smarter to take the time now to create a concrete plan. It’s a mistake to think that anything is possible unless you’re willing to put in the effort required. Fortunately, you have more time than you think, so don’t overreact and try to do everything at once.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel as if you’re under a lot of stress today, but your desire to do the right thing can turn a difficult day into a memorable one. Don’t worry about how to get others to support your agenda. Instead, simply do the very best job you can, even if you must do it alone. Ultimately, your performance will exceed everyone else’s expectations of what you should do.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s challenging to motivate yourself today, for you may feel unusually calm, even in the center of a storm. The unexpected chaos that’s brewing around you only encourages you to hold fast to your current position. However, your immunity to change won’t last; take preemptive action, rather than passively waiting for the lightning to strike.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You need to be careful today or you could become so involved with a project that it takes over your entire day. Something that begins as a minor chore could grow more complicated as you mull over your options. A brilliant plan might come to you in a sudden flash of inspiration, tempting you to take immediate action. But impulsive behavior could demonstrate your recklessness rather than your intelligence. Be patient; the best ideas develop over time.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your enthusiasm is high today, yet it’s tough to know exactly what to do with your unconventional desires. Unfortunately, if you attempt to ignore your needs, they will only grow stronger. However, you could easily upset the stability of a comfortable relationship now if you just blurt out what you want. Choose an appropriate moment and discuss your feelings casually without becoming overly attached to what happens next.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It isn’t easy today to stick to your customary role of being the responsible one in your family or group of friends. You are suddenly eager to explore undiscovered facets of yourself. You are even tempted to take a quantum leap of faith and blast through a self-imposed limitation. Instead of shocking others with your uncharacteristic behavior, simply start by revealing your thoughts. Once you are ready, transform your brilliant ideas into positive action.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be difficult to deal with today because you don’t want to do what’s expected of you. Your key planet, rebellious Uranus, squares the Sun in your 6th House of Daily Routines, prompting you to break the rules. However, you might try to hide your radical behavior now because you don’t want to be rejected by those you love. Go ahead and take a risk; others won’t judge you as harshly as you’re judging yourself. Coloring outside of the lines is your best approach.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are on edge today and even those things that usually seem comforting can provoke free-floating anxiety. You are being stretched tightly and something is ready to snap at the slightest little provocation. Unfortunately, you could feel even worse if you go over the edge and lose your temper. Discussing your fears rationally now is a better strategy than ignoring them, for they won’t go away until the underlying issue is addressed.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, June 19th

Quicksilver Mercury entered emotionally sensitive Cancer last Thursday, challenging us to maintain our rational perspective on life. However, now that the communicator planet is opposing passionate Pluto, we may be forced to defend our point of view. Participating in an honest discussion about our fears can help to offset any negativity. Fortunately, the intellectual Aquarius Moon enables us to detach ourselves from any unrealistic expectations.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A domestic matter that has been lurking in the background could shift to the forefront today. You might feel as if you’re being pushed to say something, even if you are trying to remain neutral. Unfortunately, your words can have more consequences than you expect and might even make things worse. Before you open your mouth, consider whether your disclosure will actually improve the situation. It may be wiser to remain silent for a while longer.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Obsessing about something you should have said to a close friend or family member stirs up unresolved feelings today. But your concerns could be agitated because you’re currently overly sensitive to everything in your immediate environment. Although it’s healthy to acknowledge your compassion for those close to you, it’s also important to remember that you are not responsible for anyone else’s emotions. Don’t intrude into someone else’s life unless you have been specifically invited.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury engages in a mental war of survival with relentless Pluto today. You may feel as if you’re in over your head, but Mercury is clever enough to outwit even the toughest opponent. Thinking quickly enables you to emerge victorious, but only if you’re realistic about your limitations. There’s no place now for blind optimism. Pay careful attention to everything that is said before making your case as succinctly as you can.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It seems as if someone is pressuring you to say more than you want today as domineering Pluto opposes Mercury in reclusive Cancer. The more others push, the more you resist their efforts. Nevertheless, you still might prefer to have everything out in the open, even if it’s challenging for you to move the discussion along. You would be wise to break through your own resistance because nothing will happen if you wait for anyone else to speak for you.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even though your patience may have reached its limit, you’re still probably trying to balance your feelings with what others want now. You may be resentful that someone is standing between you and your potential enjoyment. Paradoxically, keeping your negativity to yourself only strengthens it. A smarter strategy is to get your annoyance out in the open. Thankfully, your anger can be transformed once it is seen for what it is.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is visiting your 11th House of Friends where it connects you to others on a deep emotional level. However, its current opposition to shadowy Pluto indicates that your need for personal expression may be overwhelmed by the group process. It’s a good idea to let everyone know how you feel as long as you assume complete responsibility for your own emotions. If you don’t blame anyone else, no one will be able to fault you for saying what’s on your mind.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are often inclined to keep your opinions to yourself in order to maintain the peace, but someone may push your emotional buttons today, provoking you to say more than is necessary. Although it could be wiser to listen to logic, you are motivated by your sense of fair play to set the record straight. Nevertheless, a bit of diplomacy is still a good idea; you can be honest without having to get everything out in the open in one single blast.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although interactive Mercury comforts you while it is visiting emotional Cancer, your words seem more confrontational today than you intend. Your key planet Pluto is in a passionate tug-of-war with the cosmic messenger, allowing harsh words to easily slip off your tongue. The consequences of your current honesty could stir up a hornet’s nest of complex feelings. Unnecessary stress can be avoided if you stop to consider other people’s reactions before you speak.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t have much patience with others today; it seems as if your window of opportunity is closing and you might lose your chance to say what’s on your mind if you don’t start an overdue conversation right away. You may be uncomfortable showing your vulnerability, but you are able to quickly adjust to the situation. Your natural confidence is a blessing, but it’s still wise to move slowly. Impulsive disclosures tend to be shallow and may not lead to true satisfaction.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be obsessing about a friend or partner today, whether or not the relationship has a viable future. You may even withdraw from others now because retreating from non-essential interactions can be a healthy part of this transit. Letting go is often painful, yet making believe that everything is fine is even worse. You can always choose to reconnect later once you feel more like yourself.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be holding out for a better deal today, but it’s probably wise to reconsider your demands and be more open to negotiation. Your natural ability to detach from an emotional situation isn’t working now, making it difficult to unhook yourself from a complex web of feelings. Reminding yourself that you are human just like everyone else will make it easier to express what is in your heart.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you might attempt to quietly go about your business today, your frustration could build to a breaking point because you believe that others are not being completely honest with you. You would rather hear the truth than waste your energy trying to fill in the missing information. Ironically, the more you question others, the more they withdraw. Ultimately, it’s best to pay attention to your own feelings now without pushing for resolution until more facts come to light.

Daily General Horoscopes for June 8

While the logical Virgo Moon helps us to be more reasonable, she squares mental Mercury and the Sun in flighty Gemini today, challenging us to quiet our noisy minds. The dynamic tension between earthy Virgo and airy Gemini is doubly significant because both signs are ruled by Mercury, making it difficult to choose between practicality and curiosity. Fortunately, a subtle Jupiter-Neptune sextile graces us with broad vision and accurate intuition.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Routine can raise your anxiety level today if you cannot figure out a way to completeeverything that you promised. Naturally, it’s not a good idea to blame anyone else for things that are ultimately your responsibility. Fortunately, you are able to approach your dilemma in a mature manner, gently sharing your concerns with those involved instead of dwelling on the past. Focusing on what needs to be done in the present moment elicits cooperation instead of conflict.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not feel secure enough to reveal what’s actually on your mind because you’re afraid that the reaction you’ll receive won’t be in your favor. However, if you only share some of your emotions, you could set up a situation where you inadvertently alienate a close friend or lover. Your attempt to withhold parts of your story will be more apparent than you realize. It is better to simply tell everything and then deal with whatever fallout occurs.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The cautious Virgo Moon squares the Sun in your sign today, requiring you to think twice before you act. You may feel as if you should restrain yourself and you’re not too happy about needing to withhold your desires. However, suppression only makes matters worse; it’s smarter to acknowledge potential problems before they fully develop. If your plans aren’t adequate enough to do the job, work on improving them now — not after the fact.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have an exciting opportunity to see beyond your previously set agenda, but you may need to let go of an immediate goal. However, this shouldn’t be considered a failure since your current course might not be the best way to reach your destination anyhow, even if it seems like a direct route. Forget about your preconceived conclusions and create a new map that’s based on today’s information instead of yesterday’s news.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your workweek might not be going according to plan, but it could turn out fine as long as you don’t try to control everything. Paradoxically, the more you resist change, the harder it is for you to adapt. Set your short-term goals aside for a day or two and think about the distant future while you respond to the current circumstances the best you can. Remember, this is not about sacrificing important values; it’s about avoiding self-doubt.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to your sign can raise worries as you try to balance your feelings with your current objectives at work. You may be able to put your best foot forward now by acting more confident than you feel, only to realize that your workmates expect more out of you. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge your limitations. Your honesty will be refreshing to others, motivating them to come to your support.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your role at work is slowly but profoundly transforming as others begin to acknowledge your authority. Only recently, you might have had to struggle to get your opinion heard, but now your astute perspective is in demand. However, overextending your control may bring your success to a halt. Remember, it’s not important to be on top as long as you have your hand in creating the big changes that are unfolding.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Relationships are not as complicated as they seem, even if your feelings are more intense than others want to deal with today. You are eager to work on your communication style, but you need to be noticed for your efforts. Unfortunately, painful memories can cloud your mind, making it harder to hear the positive feedback you receive. Try not to let old emotional tapes get in the way of any praise that comes your way now.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter harmonizes with imaginative Neptune today, activating your vision of an ideal future. Although your new goals may not be fully grounded in reality, they can still inspire you to work harder to break through old limitations. However, it might seem as if your current work duties are standing in your way of your long-term success. Don’t make any significant changes just yet; fulfilling your immediate responsibilities may help your progress more than you realize.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are at a fork in the road and events at work may create a minor crisis today, requiring you to choose which route to take. Fortunately, you are not restrained by the usual set of rules, enabling you to find a solution where others have already failed. Ironically, accepting a new responsibility could prove to get in your way of success. Remember, your ability to remain detached from the outcome is what gives you the winning strategy.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might actively disagree with someone at work today and think that a heated argument is needed in order to shift the energy. However, conflict won’t bring you any closer to the truth, and may even add to the existing animosity. You can be highly productive if you don’t become distracted by a petty disagreement. Instead of allowing yourself to get hooked by your emotions, rise above any difference of opinion and commit to working for the highest cause.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may appear somewhat lost today as the magnifying lens of Jupiter hooks up with illusory Neptune to make your dreams seem vividly real. Fortunately, you are more practical than usual now, for the exacting Virgo Moon sharpens your senses. Don’t worry about what others may be thinking; they will soon recognize the usefulness of your ideas as your plans take shape over the days ahead.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 24th

The intellectual Aquarius Moon shapes the early morning and her entry into compassionate Pisces at 8:23 am EDT shifts our perceptual framework from a conceptual to an emotional one. The Moon’s square to the curious Gemini Sun gets us wondering about how our feelings influence our thoughts. A frustrating Venus-Saturn aspect requires patience, while mental Mercury’s creative quintile to metaphysical Neptune assures us that imagination rules.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be content with your dreams now, but you’re also aware that there is more to life than your fantasies with so many incomplete projects demanding your attention. Even if you’re able to postpone a deadline for another day or two, you can’t escape thinking about everything you have yet to finish. But worrying in advance doesn’t accomplish anything unless you’re ready to do something about it now. Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your reliability can earn the respect of your associates, especially if you’re willing to make a decision today and stand by it. Even if your ideas are unpopular, your serious demeanor convinces others to go along with your choice because they realize how much thought has gone into your response. Nevertheless, picking one side over another is still tricky business, so give yourself permission to change your mind if you are so inclined.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You cannot easily settle down because you’re thinking about the possible repercussions to what you’re doing. Your previously optimistic outlook may be sagging because a special opportunity isn’t looking quite as good now. Intuitively, you know that once you make up your mind you won’t be able to go back and undo your decision, so take all the time you need before announcing your final choice.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be having a difficult time today, but others probably won’t be aware of your stress because you’re able to keep it to yourself. You have a very particular idea of what you want your future to look like, yet you might be convinced that you’re not on the right track. Don’t try to talk yourself out of your dreams, even if they make your life more complicated now. Your self-doubt will eventually fade and you’ll realize that nearly anything is possible once you put your mind to it.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a unique point of view today, which increases your chances of surprising others, especially if they want to conveniently place you inside a traditional box. Ironically, your perspective isn’t quite as radical as it seems; it’s just that you may overstate your position as you try to make your case. Although you are quite opinionated, you should be able to get the support you need now as long as you mix integrity into your passions.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have an inaccurate view of your partner or co-worker today and yet you’re able to logically justify your opinion. Fortunately, you have an open mind and are willing to shift your perspective as you learn more about what’s actually happening. Although you’re tempted to scatter your energies now, you can achieve better results if you address the tension in a troublesome relationship. Resolving interpersonal dynamics can help you find the time to reach your other goals, too.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Instead of concentrating on your tasks at work today, you might be inclined to kick back and enjoy yourself. But you may have to fulfill your responsibilities first, so don’t take on any more than what you must. Your wisest strategy now is to balance work with play, rather than declaring either of them as more important than the other.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s odd to think that the Moon’s entry into imaginative Pisces can bring you back to reality, but her square to the Sun in your 8th House of Transformation today actually does have that effect. The dreaminess further fades with a down-to-earth Venus-Saturn aspect, exposing the limitations of your current perspective. But don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, for your inner child can teach you an important lesson if you let it come out to play.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you might need to go to work, you probably would prefer disappearing within your own home today. Nevertheless, once you do what is required, you could go back to the seclusion of your residence, turn off the phone and declare temporary independence from the outside world. For someone who normally likes to be the life of the party, hiding out now can be your secret guilty pleasure.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t know what to do as the Moon joins indecisive Neptune in your 3rd House of Information. Although you’re able to say the right things that inspire others, you still might see yourself as a fraud because judgmental Saturn prevents you from perceiving yourself clearly today. Keep in mind that your uplifting words can be even more effective now if you believe in them yourself.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are full of hope today as the Moon joins idealistic Neptune. But you may also be fearful that your meager efforts might not be enough to make things better. Don’t waste precious time belittling your contribution. Instead, shift the energy and focus on what you can do. Global change will not be the result of extraordinary work by a few people; it will come from the combined smaller deeds of everyone.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s conjunction with spiritual Neptune in your sign today highlights your unique connection to all of humanity and the entire cosmos. You are unable to fully separate yourself from the larger picture, yet, paradoxically, an awkward Venus-Saturn aspect increases your current sense of isolation. Fortunately, taking a bit of time out of your busy day to meditate or pray can be enough to remind you that all fish live in the same sea and that individuality isn’t as important as it seems.

General Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 22nd

The Sun’s dynamic square to fuzzy Neptune confuses us by blurring our senses today. Our dreams can lure us off track if we cannot distinguish facts from fantasies. The restless Gemini Sun entices us with choices, but a cluster of planets in bull-headed Taurus creates inertia, making a change of direction more difficult, even if it’s a smart idea. Meanwhile, the intelligent Aquarius Moon gives us logical reasons to validate what we think we know.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are inspired to put your finances in order today, but it may be challenging to actually follow through on your intentions. Handling money matters requires singular concentration, yet your vivid imagination can interfere with your ability to stay focused. Nevertheless, your fiscal stability is a worthwhile goal, so every time you wander off in your thoughts, just bring yourself back to the job at hand.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus is squared by the rational Aquarius Moon, emphasizing the conflict between what you want and what you truly need. You are eager to share your thoughts with someone you trust while talkative Mercury is in your sign. You might think that you’re being perfectly clear now, but your actions don’t seem to support your words. It may be a better strategy to work diligently toward reaching satisfaction without saying too much for a day or two.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Mercury the Messenger is revving up your brain and activating your 12th House of Secrets. You have a lot to say, but aren’t sure how to work your thoughts into a conversation. You don’t necessarily want to be left alone today now that the Sun is in your 1st House of Self, but a miscommunication or a misunderstanding might disrupt your social plans. The good news is that it’s easier to stay on your path if you have fewer distractions.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are lulled into a surreal mental space but the emotionally detached Aquarius Moon is visiting your 8th House of Transformation, encouraging you to use your intellect to interpret the mysterious symbols of your dreams. Unfortunately, this may be a dead end strategy because rational analysis won’t uncover any hidden meaning. Instead, follow your imagination and you’ll remember what your subconscious mind is trying to tell you when you least expect it.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The conceptual Aquarius Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners could attract a very intelligent person into your life who believes that he or she has the answers you seek. But you don’t want to be distracted by anyone because you’re trying to figure out how you will get through the time crunch that you now face. Ultimately, you can create unnecessary frustration by concentrating on what’s ahead before you handle a more immediate situation first.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your unrestrained idealism might tempt you to set your sights too high today. Thankfully, your approach is methodical and you can prioritize all the chores that you want to finish. But you may have to let some of your pet projects fall to the wayside. Being selective and eliminating non-essential chores should help you feel less anxious, especially if you preemptively handle a potential problem, rather than waiting for it to turn into a minor disaster.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus has been cavorting with noisy Mercury and pushy Mars, replacing sweet romance with tough talk. Fortunately, you can reclaim your sensuality now by shifting the focus to nebulous Neptune. Let go of your personal tastes and specific desires by detaching yourself from what may happen. Don’t waste time by letting others know what you want. Instead, surrender to the flow; you can always check your GPS tomorrow and then decide where to go next.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Sun’s entry into your 8th House of Deep Sharing reminds you that dancing around surface issues isn’t all that fulfilling. You want to build meaningful relationships with close friends or family. However, your desires may be thwarted by someone who has a very different agenda. Don’t try to talk the other person into seeing things your way; the more you interact today, the further apart you grow, so avoid lengthy explanations at all costs.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might think you have a very practical strategy to finish your long list of chores today, but your idealistic solutions may fall apart once you start executing your plans. You could underestimate how much time a job could take, or maybe you discover that you’re missing an important tool. Either way, working faster isn’t the answer. Ironically, you’ll finish sooner if you slow down. Doing a job right the first time is more efficient than having to do it again.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can grow anxious when you misinterpret what’s happening in your life today, especially if your lack of clarity has to do with financial matters. The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of Self-Worth puts money on your mind, and a dreamy Sun-Neptune square can inflate your expectations and set you up for disappointment. Avoid discouragement by remaining realistic about your resources and staying aware of the time and money that will be necessary to make a creative idea worthwhile.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today you seem to be attracted to anything that allows you to lose yourself in a crowd of people or get caught up in a group cause. But you won’t be able to run away from yourself because you’ll probably bump into someone you know just when you thought you escaped. Rather than trying to sidestep a difficult emotional interaction, just stay present with your feelings. You might be pleasantly surprised by what happens when you show up with your heart and not just your head.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Sun’s square to your key planet Neptune can act like a green light that’s inviting you to luxuriate in the rich symbolism of your imagination. Fortunately, you’re not a stranger to slipping behind the veil of consciousness. However, it’s challenging now to put your dreams to work. Today is your day of rest; instead of actively planning your next move, just let your mind wander without any specific agenda.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 1

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

A burst of positive energy can free us from yesterday’s heaviness, tempting us to go overboard. Feisty Mars conjuncts buoyant Jupiter today, expanding our vision of life, magnifying the importance of current events and giving us a more optimistic outlook for the future. It may be difficult to rein in our enthusiasm, leading us to make promises we cannot keep. The impetuous Aries Moon joins Mars and Jupiter to further encourage the good times.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing. The exuberant Moon-Mars-Jupiter conjunction happening now in your fiery sign may be enough to blast you into orbit, but you’ll need to pay extra careful attention to managing your energy reserves. It’s challenging for you to think about tomorrow when there are six planets in Aries today. Anything you can do to soothe your soul or settle your wild ideas will help to make this a more memorable time.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be all worked up over a new idea today, but won’t necessarily put too much effort into making your vision come true. It’s not that you’re particularly lazy now; it’s just that your common sense could overrule your excitement. Remember, your plan deserves enough time to develop before prematurely rushing into action, especially if it’s as brilliant as you think it is.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This continues to be a socially oriented weekend, but you may actually reach a point where you exhaust yourself just by having fun. Knowing when you’ve had enough is a sign of maturity, but setting limits can sometimes be a challenge. Overcome your fear of missing out on something special; call it quits and take some time to relax so you’ll feel rejuvenated and refreshed going into the week ahead.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although this may be a day away from work, your mind is likely focused on your status in the professional world. This might even involve making plans to accomplish your ambitious career goals. Your optimistic outlook creates an immediate impact on activities with friends or family members today. If you have earned the respect of those you love, enjoy basking in their appreciation. But don’t waste time hesitating now; it’s your turn to take charge.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can burn off excess energy today by doing something physical such as going on a long hike or working in the yard. But it’s also important to engage your mind by learning something new. You may be satisfied by having a discussion with a friend about an entirely unique course of study, perhaps involving religion, metaphysics or politics. Whatever you choose to do now, reach out beyond your comfort zone because going the distance will be far more rewarding than staying on familiar ground.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your interest in getting to the bottom of a mystery could be a bit over the top today. You want answers and you are prepared to ask whatever questions are necessary to find the missing information. However, your obsessive curiosity might seem confrontational, even if that’s not your intention. You’ll make more progress if you don’t push so hard. Be as transparent as possible so your actions are not misunderstood.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A close friend or family member may be so optimistic today that you think he or she has gone overboard. At first it’s fun being around people who are upbeat and interested in doing something out of the ordinary. But, eventually you realize that you might be the one who needs to issue a reality check. However, don’t try to change others by raining on their parade. All you have to do is be clear about the limits of your participation.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This is a perfect day to begin a spring cleaning project with energetic Mars joining visionary Jupiter in your 6th House of Details. You have a clear sense of what you want to accomplish now and you have the stamina to get things done. However, you must take a big job and break it down into smaller manageable tasks in order to be efficient. Just make sure that you don’t bite off more than you can chew or you’ll be tired at the end of the day with little to show for your hard work.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Blowing up balloons can be fun if you know when to stop; otherwise they pop, leaving you with nothing. Likewise, when red-hot Mars fires up buoyant Jupiter today, you could get into trouble by taking a good idea and turning it into such a big deal that it eventually fizzles. Fun-filled activities can put a wonderful smile on your face now as long as you remember to moderate your natural inclination for bigger, better and more.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

As much as you may enjoy a day off to spend at home with your family, too much domestic activity might have you thinking about ways to escape. It’s not that you want to be somewhere else; it’s just that you won’t likely want to give up an entire day without having something tangible to show for it. Try involving others in some sort of home improvement project. If they seem more interested in having fun, join in the festivities for a while and then excuse yourself so you can accomplish something on your own.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are buzzing around today like a busy bee, flying from one flower to the next in a field filled with exciting distractions. There are so many possibilities you might feel a bit lost because you don’t know where to start or what to do next. However, you would be better off to save your rational thinking for another day; now it’s better to just jump in and have fun. Act first and analyze later.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Many people believe that material abundance begins with having healthy self-esteem. The uplifting Mars-Jupiter conjunction in your 2nd House of Self-Worth indicates that your self-confidence is on the rise now and could help you make an important decision. Fortunately, your current choices have a direct impact on your prosperity in the weeks ahead. Set your goals high and reach a little further than you normally would.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, April 29

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The psychic Pisces Moon reminds us that fantasy can seem real — and sometimes it actually is. It’s especially difficult to separate fact from fiction today as expansive Jupiter forms a complicated septile to dreamy Neptune. However, we are shocked awake by the Moon’s shift into spontaneous Aries at 1:33 pm EDT, followed by a Moon-Uranus conjunction at 6:58 pm. We may be temporarily thrown off balance as we respond to the suddenness of change.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Today is one of those days when you might not even realize that you’ve slipped into the Twilight Zone. If you pay close attention to everything happening now, you might notice that things are bent slightly out of shape. Slipping into this parallel world isn’t the problem, but mixing it up with the real one can prove troublesome. Rely on your friends to help you distinguish your illusions from reality.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quick-witted enough to outsmart yourself today. There is so much activity going on within your unconscious mind that you might forget what just occurred only a few minutes ago. Naturally, this can create a very embarrassing situation unless you consciously decide to stay on top of it all. Don’t be afraid to trust your snap judgment. Thankfully, your intuition won’t lead you astray now.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may share a feeling today that provokes a strong and clear response. But rather than receiving a round of all-too-familiar criticism, you might actually get an unexpected boost of support from someone who isn’t usually your closest ally. Be careful, for you might be reading the situation incorrectly. And even if you’re positive about the accuracy of your perceptions, keep in mind that everyone’s feelings are prone to change now.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be daydreaming of taking a quick trip to a faraway destination, however, there’s this little problem of transportation. You might prefer the idea of near instantaneous travel because you want to get to your exotic destination immediately and still be home in time for a comfortable dinner. Unfortunately, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment unless you can be satisfied by traveling in the fantasy realms instead of actually going anywhere for real.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a practical agenda today, yet you might choose to set it aside if there is an opportunity to do something more exciting than taking care of business. Don’t be too concerned about other people’s expectations; you need to follow your own heart. Rather than wasting energy trying to justify your actions, attend to your responsibilities first, so whatever you do next is beyond criticism.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be rethinking upcoming travel plans that you thought were already set. Or, perhaps, you’re juggling your responsibilities so you can fit everything into your schedule. But it’s tricky now because you cannot do this work alone. You’ll improve your chances for success if your co-worker or partner supports you, so include him or her in your scheming. Remember that nothing is etched in stone yet. Today’s decisions could change as soon as tomorrow.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have many small tasks to finish and it’s wise to complete as much as possible prior to the Moon leaving your 6th House of Routine. It becomes more complicated to return to chores left undone once your attention moves on to something else. Also, it’s quite likely that someone will distract you later in the day and your schedule will be unexpectedly hijacked; don’t put off anything important unless it’s beyond your control.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may welcome an exciting diversion to your daily routine today, but your responsibilities could suffer in the process. Surprisingly, you’ll probably say yes to an invitation that comes your way, even if you don’t think that you can take the time to play. Naturally, meeting your obligations remains a high priority, but your overall quality of work won’t be as good if you don’t also give yourself the chance to relax.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might experience unexpected tension because of the responsibilities that now fall on your shoulders. However, you are still ready to go out and have some fun, no matter what the consequences are. Your productivity will likely slack off today, but you should be able to make up for it tomorrow. At least, show some creativity by mixing up boring chores with new activities that are more exciting.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You probably won’t be able to stick to your plans today, and accepting this fact upfront could alleviate a lot of unnecessary stress. Your moods are swinging all over the map, making you less likely to follow through on your original agenda. Rather than suppressing your feelings, remain open to them. Maintaining objectivity now could be exhausting and unproductive. You will feel much better once you give yourself permission to temporarily relinquish control.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may receive an unexpected message today from someone who is very close to you. Paradoxically, what you are told could be contrary to what you thought you were going to hear. This new information could complicate your day, but you’ll only make matters worse if you try to block it out. You can’t avoid the negative consequences by pretending there isn’t a problem. Be smart and face any issue that surfaces now before it spins out of control.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel unsettled today because you know something is about to change. Your feelings are quite volatile now and you don’t know where they are leading you. Unfortunately, your attempts to suppress your needs could provoke you to unconsciously act out. Trying to control the situation by limiting your interactions with others will only make you feel lonely. Remember that you are a Fish and should know that it’s easier to swim with the currents instead of resisting the tide.

Daily Horoscopes for April 24

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today begins slowly with a steady Capricorn Moon and restrictive Saturn still opposing logical Mercury. But the energy shifts at 1:58 pm EDT when the Moon enters futuristic Aquarius, releasing us from the past and focusing our interest on what’s next. Since this is just the first full day of Mercury’s direct motion, it may take a while to get back up to speed. It’s a familiar message: although we’re wired with anticipation, we must be patient.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are ready to go out and have fun today, but you might be a bit detached from what actually happens. Ironically, you know what you want, but may not care all that much if you actually get it. Remaining open to the difference between your wishes and the events of the day can be healthy, but don’t be so disconnected that you are in denial of your emotions. Acknowledging your feelings is a crucial part of your long-term happiness.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You know what you want to say to those around you, but you might choose to minimize the intensity of your current feelings. Part of the problem is that you’re connected with your dreams, and you don’t want to justify yourself to anyone else now. Acting as if you’re emotionally detached gives you a bit more freedom. Just keep in mind that it also takes work to avoid getting hooked on your desires.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are looking forward to beginning something new in the days ahead, but you first have to finalize your plans. Acting impulsively won’t be sufficient; this isn’t just about doing something for fun. The Moon’s entry into your 9th House of Adventure reflects your current need to expand your horizons. Don’t settle for the easy way out; creating a sound strategy can be your key to accomplishing your goals.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are emotionally nurtured by the physical closeness of your loved ones, yet now you might feel resistant to someone’s advances. Your current retreat probably isn’t about fearing intimacy; instead, it’s more likely about your goal to become more independent. Stepping out beyond your comfort zone is healthy as long as you don’t alienate your loyal allies in the process.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A weird conversation with a close friend or partner today could reveal more information than you think you need to know. You might be uncomfortable because you aren’t certain how to respond to what you learn. Keep in mind that you don’t have to control what’s happening, nor do you have to do anything about your new perspective. Take all the time you need before drawing your own conclusions.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to do your routine chores in the same way as you have always done them. You are bored today and might attempt a different approach just to make your day more exciting. Don’t be concerned if something takes longer because of your unorthodox style. Time isn’t really being wasted, because you’re gaining valuable experience that can pay off in the near future.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may want to spend time with a really good friend today because their enthusiasm is contagious and fun. You feel as if something is about to change and your life could suddenly become more intense. However, there’s no need to worry about being too busy later on; you’ll still find time to relax. Make a commitment to enjoy yourself no matter how the day plays out.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may come close to losing your temper today if something at home doesn’t conform to your heart’s desire. It’s not that an unexpected exchange will catch you off guard; it’s just that you could be compulsive about how you want your day to unfold. Your current inflexibility can make you feel discouraged. It helps to be open to the natural fluidity of the moment. A total surprise may turn out much better than you expect.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There are many things to do and so many interesting people to see, but you may have packed one too many activities into a finite amount of time. Instead of simply enjoying the diversity, you could be distracted by the practical necessity of having to adhere to a tight calendar. Try canceling or even postponing a few appointments before it’s too late. Your weekend will be more enjoyable if you adopt a slower pace.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re eager to have a bit of time at home today, especially if a busy social calendar has kept you jumping throughout the past week. It’s healthy to reconsider what you want for yourself now, instead of just keeping up appearances and doing whatever’s expected of you. Maintaining your integrity is important. Set new boundaries and, within reason, do whatever makes you feel good.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be needier than usual today with the Moon visiting your sign. Unfortunately, your friends and family might not take care of you and you cannot realistically expect them to read your mind. You’ll be happier if you are open with your feelings and clearly communicate what you want, even if you have little chance for satisfaction. Be upfront and only participate in activities that will make you happy.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although there are still opportunities available, you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders today. But your somber perspective is internal, so you might not want to burden others with your troubles. Fortunately, you are able to lighten your load by focusing on your ideal future and allowing the hope of your dreams to lift you beyond your current obligations.

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 20th

General Daily Horoscope
A new astrological month begins as the Sun enters Taurus at 6:17 am EDT. The Bull symbolizes the power of spring’s rising energy. What began last month must gain structure to endure, but the Sun’s cooperative sextile with imaginative Neptune emphasizes the importance of our dreams in creating reality. Meanwhile, the Moon shifts into adventurous Sagittarius at 2:49 am, reflecting our need to reach beyond the ordinary for meaning.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’ve been going at full throttle for a while, but it’s finally time to slow down and enjoy what you’ve accomplished. However, this won’t be as easy as it sounds, even with the Sun’s move into earthy Taurus today. You may be more determined now to relax, but there’s still a pile of planets clustered in fiery Aries, so don’t judge yourself too harshly if it still takes a while for your energy to settle down.

 
Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Sun returns to your sign today, boosting your energy and restoring your confidence in your ability to finish whatever you start. But as your rigidity increases, you also realize the inadequacy of your current strategy. Being aware of your limitations is just as important as believing you can do anything. A familiarity with your shortcomings can be an asset, but your chances for success will be improved by concentrating primarily on your strengths.

 
Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury nears the end of its retrograde phase, yet runs into a bit of trouble today when it opposes powerful Saturn, blocking your regular avenues of communication. Someone may appear to be working against you, but, luckily, you have the patience to sort out everything. If you can tighten your logic, you should be able to make your case effectively. When the time comes, don’t embellish your presentation; the facts will tell the story well enough on their own.

 
 
Cancer Horoscope
 
 
 
 
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may already believe that your life will get easier for you, even if you aren’t fully ready to trust your intuition. The Sun’s entry into your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes can shine a new light on what makes you happy. Instead of having to fight for your ideas, you are entering a phase when your peers will stand behind you. Don’t let old fears sabotage your endeavors. Have a little faith in your friends and graciously accept their support when they offer it.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be confronted today by someone who threatens your status. Unfortunately, this conflict could turn sour, even if you did nothing wrong. Obviously, you don’t have to admit that you were at fault, only that you’re sorry to have made the situation any worse. A heartfelt apology can clear the air and free everyone to move on.

 
Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might think you have a smarter idea for nearly everything today, but that doesn’t mean your way is really the best course of action. Unfortunately, you could be so sure of yourself now that you’ll take on anyone who disagrees with your plan. Thankfully, you should come to your senses before an argument reaches the point of no return. In a fight to the finish, there will be no winners, so find common ground and build a consensus from that point on.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are feeling a bit spacey now and even though you have some interesting and creative ideas, it’s difficult for you to express them. Normally, you’re able to maintain a healthy perspective, but today you could grow obsessive by trying too hard to make your point. It’s counterproductive to worry about what others think. Just share what’s on your mind and then let it go.

 
Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A discussion could escalate into a power struggle today, even if your intention is to return to simplicity. The Sun’s entry into placid Taurus lures you into believing the disarming illusion that relationships can always be bucolic. But conflict may return when you remember that you’re not interested in compromising your zest for life. Passion is still more important to you than comfort alone.

 
Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Conversations with co-workers can blow someone’s feelings out of proportion today, adding plenty of confusion to the situation. The more you try to talk it out, the more complicated it becomes. Part of the problem is that it’s easy to make broad sweeping statements that are based upon generalities. Instead, be picky and stick to the details. The more specific you can be now, the less time it will take to resolve the current misunderstanding.

 
Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You feel your strength returning and are eager to be productive, even if there are tricky communication issues that need to be managed today. You might be inclined to jump in and tackle a problem directly, but this isn’t the best approach now. Your compulsive need to gain closure on an emotional issue may warp your perspective, so wait for your clarity to return before saying something you’ll regret.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have thoughts that seem so astounding today you cannot let go of them. But you might be afraid to share your ideas for fear that others will steal them from you. Your current paranoia isn’t likely based on what’s happening now, but rather on a memory about someone once getting credit for what you did. Reframing old disappointments is part of a therapeutic process, as long as you’re willing to acknowledge the difference between the past and the present.

 
Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your fantasies seem larger than life today, yet there’s little chance that you’ll get lost in them because the practical Taurus Sun keeps you firmly grounded. Listen closely to your intuition, as knowledge is revealed through the practice of meditation, yoga and other relaxation techniques. But this inward focus can be a waste of time unless you follow through in the outer realms, too. Once you are clear about your goals, you’ll have a better idea of what to do next.

 

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 19th

General Daily Horoscope

 

It’s tough getting our thoughts across as messenger Mercury slows to a crawl, ending its retrograde period on April 23 and heightening the lingering stress we feel from yesterday’s frustrating Mars-Saturn opposition. But bottled emotions can reach a flash point now as Mercury hooks up with contentious Mars. However, losing our cool may not fix anything because the intense Scorpio Moon wants us to handle the real issues and not just the symptoms.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may have to face a deep-rooted fear, you’re willing to discuss a difficult issue today. Unfortunately, your good intentions don’t necessarily mean that you’ll get to the heart of the matter. Your goal is admirable, but you can appear so thoroughly engaged in the conversation that no one notices you’re just putting up a smokescreen to prevent others from getting past your defensive shell. Share your truth with someone you trust to avoid feeling isolated.

 
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your co-workers and friends can be too intense for your taste today, but you can’t just ignore them. Your sense of loyalty enables you to interact with others on equal footing, but your dissatisfaction grows until you suddenly say what’s on your mind. Don’t be too hard on yourself for your emotional outburst; it’s healthier to get your feelings out into the open sooner than later.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can surprise others with your unflappable determination today, and could do such a good job that they cannot help but take notice of you. Meanwhile, you might be secretly trying to avoid the spotlight now, tempting you to give out mixed messages. Although your key planet Mercury is receiving an energetic boost from Mars, it’s really not about what you say; it’s more about what you’re not saying. Think twice prior to hiding something you might be better off sharing.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your need for a deep emotional attachment is magnified today by the Moon’s visit to passionate Scorpio. However, you might try to cover up your vulnerability by confronting someone about something that’s completely unrelated. Fortunately, sharing a romantic inclination can open up new avenues of communication. But don’t push too hard; for now, find satisfaction with whatever happens.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be more self-protective now than anyone realizes, but your social veneer makes it look like you’re fully engaged in your relationships. People close to you may be impressed with your optimistic demeanor, however, you may be reliving unexpressed hurt that continues to be recycled in your life. For now, there’s no reason to change your behavior; it’s okay to dance between two positions. Thankfully, you will be able to meld these disparate realities with time.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You prefer that no one messes with your schedule today because you know exactly what should be done and just want to get on with it. You aren’t happy wasting any time having to explain yourself to others. Nevertheless, it isn’t smart to alienate your friends and family. Seek ways to maintain your focus without cutting yourself off from the love and support that’s available to you now.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Sometimes you are so gracious that you can appear more easygoing than you actually feel. However, today you’re feeling uncharacteristically selfish. It isn’t that you are antisocial; it’s just that you don’t want to put up a phony front for the sake of making others feel better. Don’t try to justify your actions; just be true to yourself while remaining kind to everyone else.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It can be rather challenging to deal with your own powerful emotions now that the Moon is back in formidable Scorpio. Thankfully, you can transform your difficult feelings into a vision of hope. Sharing your dreams for the future can be quite inspiring to others, which in turn ultimately improves your mood by making you feel more positive about yourself.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s Sun-Mercury conjunction falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, inspiring you to use your motivational gifts. Although your words often help others to be more confident, your over-the-top exuberance now could also be a bit intimidating. There’s no need to drive your point home with extra intensity; just share your perspective and then give your friends and associates enough space so they can assimilate the possibilities at their own pace.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Acknowledging your extreme reactions to your friends can actually improve your relationships with them, while hiding your feelings could create unnecessary tension. Fortunately, a solid friendship will almost always withstand the truth. Don’t withhold what’s on your mind today; ultimately, your good intentions will prevail over the temptation to rationalize away your integrity.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Passing the time with your co-workers or friends today can be an uplifting and motivational experience. Although there could be a few tricky turns to the conversation, the process of sharing may be exactly what you need to overcome your current negativity, especially if you have recently slipped into a bit of a slump. But this isn’t about being logical; you don’t need to justify anything now. Just open your mind and bask in the camaraderie of your peers.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your empathy can be one of your greatest strengths; however, it may also be a source of your current anxiety. Being sensitive to other people’s needs is a blessing unless you can’t set healthy boundaries and turn it off when appropriate. Even if your intentions are good, feeling pain that’s not yours isn’t always helpful. Try to remain positive and then move on; emotional detachment can be liberating to all.

 

Daily Horoscopes for April 18th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

We are pushed to emotional extremes with the Moon’s entry into passionate Scorpio at 2:18 am EDT. However, an ongoing tug-of-war between our personal needs and anyone who stands in our way may reach a turning point today. The tension grows to a crescendo as impulsive Mars opposes restrictive Saturn, demanding that we find balance prior to continuing our journey. Instead of struggling to power forward, we must reconsider less aggressive options.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may attempt to take a shortcut today, hoping that no one will notice. Luckily, you are clever enough to fool others with your scheme, but only for a little while. Unfortunately, outmaneuvering reality by trying to control the situation won’t work for you now. A smarter approach would be to temper your over-the-top story with a healthy dose of pragmatism before you end up looking foolish.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not be feeling overly optimistic today, but it’s a smart strategy to fake an air of confidence anyway. You could receive recognition now for your ability to see the potential in a situation and to rally others to your cause. But don’t exaggerate your ideas, or you’ll lose support when it becomes obvious that you cannot fulfill all your big promises. It’s more advantageous now to offer less and deliver more than anyone expects.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you have been carried away recently by your own grand ideas, your optimism could be a problem. You’re able to sell blue sky and rainbows to others, even if they actually remain out of reach. Unfortunately, your hard work won’t be enough now to make all your dreams come true. Instead of creating impossible expectations, just quietly apply yourself the best you can toward manifesting the future as you see it.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be hesitant to say what’s on your mind today, because you don’t want to rain on everyone’s parade. Although you might not be the one to deliver the bad news, you aren’t fooled by all the people who are admiring the Emperor’s new suit of clothes. Rather than playing the role of the naysayer now, it may be smarter to just keep quiet. Don’t waste your energy arguing with those who cannot see what’s truly happening.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon is brightening your sensitive 4th House of Home and Family today, reminding you that your current negativity can actually influence your point of view. Others might appear very positive about what’s going on, even if you are questioning their authority. However, you don’t have to fall prey to grandiose thinking. Do the intelligent thing and trust your own analysis over someone else’s hopeful dreams.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can turn one thought into a whole philosophical treatise today. However, you’re capable of rationalizing nearly anything, which makes you a very effective negotiator. Unfortunately, it’s hard to see the negative side of a situation now until it’s too late. Don’t hold on to an idea any longer if you know that it doesn’t make sense. You can waste valuable time and significant energy if you are too rigid in your approach.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not be all that upbeat today, even if you can visualize the great opportunities ahead. But you are highly realistic now, enabling you to also see all the potential problems. Relax and don’t struggle too much to overcome your current self-doubt. Thankfully, your negativity will dissipate before your fears can even manifest.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you can be masterful enough today to find a solution to the knottiest of problems, the Moon in your secretive sign urges you to keep your intentions quiet. Instead of calling attention to yourself, jump in and just do your share of the work. If your plan is successful, you can confidently tell others about your idea with a real sense of authority, rather than waving a flag while you’re still unsure about what you’re doing.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s challenging to be practical today because of your high level of enthusiasm. You are quite sure that you can pull off nearly anything you put your mind to now. But you may have a rude awakening if you take on more than you can handle. Unfortunately, you might have to put in a superhuman effort to meet your current obligations, instead of falling short of your promises. Ultimately, it’s best to avoid making too many commitments in the first place.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone else’s tactics could clash with yours today, yet it still isn’t a good idea to turn a minor disagreement into a major argument. Even if your strategy is better, open conflict will not create the opportunity you seek; it will only add obstacles to your progress. Aggressive behavior won’t work in your favor, either. Demonstrate your competence by retreating quietly, upgrading your plan and then trying again when everyone is ready to listen.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might try to convince someone that you’re right by sharing your positive outlook and making bold assertions today. But your enthusiasm is not a substitute for the work required to reach your ambitious goals. If you haven’t aimed too high, you should be able to overcome any resistance you encounter, but don’t expect immediate results. Success could take more time and effort than you thought.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are motivated to accomplish a lot today, yet it might not be easy to sustain your efforts. Even if you begin to feel worn out, you can reach into your deep spiritual well for the inspiration you need to keep going. Sometimes, you lose hope when you run into apparently insurmountable obstacles. But now you are eager to work hard and show the world what you’re made of. Have faith and let your light shine for everyone to see.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/17

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

A free-floating tension permeates relationships today as the Full Moon in diplomatic Libra at 10:43 pm EDT reflects the self-centered Aries Sun. We are challenged to balance our personal desires with the needs of those we love. However, we may try to avoid reason with so many planets moving through impulsive Aries. Nevertheless, stern Saturn in Libra weighs down our thoughts and requires us to take others seriously if we want to be happy.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The logical Libra Full Moon acts like a mirror today, allowing you to perceive yourself more clearly. But it’s hard to describe what you see, for Mercury the Communicator is still retrograde in your sign, muddling the meaning of what you say. Thankfully, your persistence should pay off. Don’t fret if your message isn’t getting through now. Instead, take a deep breath, gather your thoughts, and then try again.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want all the details of the day to fall in place and flow smoothly, yet something seems a bit off. Even if you understand that it may be wise to keep your discomfort to yourself, you also worry that the opportunity for improvement could fade if you don’t speak up right now. Nevertheless, it’s smarter to smile and save your words for another day when others will be more receptive to your feedback.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t want to stir up any trouble today, especially if your shenanigans could lessen your opportunities for pleasure. The Full Moon in your 5th House of Play enables you to get away with mischief because your friends will enjoy being around you even more than usual now. But don’t overplay your hand or they will see through your charm and might be annoyed that you are avoiding the real issues. Rather than simply seeking a good time, balance your lighthearted spirit with a more serious approach to life.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s strategic Libra Full Moon in your 4th House of Home and Family triggers familiar issues about lingering insecurities. You might choose to distract your attention from a vulnerable spot by starting a new project around the house. You could even be so effective with this tactic that you alleviate the tension for a while. But you cannot escape completely and the sooner you face your emotions, the sooner everyone will begin to feel better.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are motivated by your need to know what’s going on with a friend today. Simultaneously, you may become so preoccupied with an impractical idea that it can turn into an obsession. However, your desire for a bit of adventure may leave you little time to get involved with someone else’s drama. Try to relate what you are now learning about yourself to the goals you are attempting to reach.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Money issues are emphasized now as today’s Libra Full Moon highlights your 2nd House of Finances. You may try to balance your current desires with your available funds and discover you’re not in any position to buy something you don’t really need. You could also realize that your old values are out of sync with what you want to do now. There’s no hurry, so step slowly into your future. If you move at your own pace, you can regain fiscal integrity sooner than you think.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Getting along nicely with others is more difficult than usual today because the pleasure-seeking Libra Full Moon activates several combative Aries planets. It might be more enjoyable if there was someone special with whom you could share your experience. However, you may not have the patience to cultivate open communication. Don’t lose hope; you could be in for a sweet surprise when you least expect it.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s gentle Libra Full Moon adds an emotional charge to your 12th House of Imagination, yet can also prevent you from reaching satisfaction. You might be very certain about the intimacy you are currently seeking, but the opportunity seems to dissipate upon closer analysis. Don’t force any decisions prematurely. If you take the time to talk about what you want, the right person may be eager to follow your lead.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might place such inflated expectations on your friends today that you just assume they will come through for you. Although they might actually meet your high standards, the Full Moon in your 11th House of Groups is opposite the Sun in your 5th House of Creativity, enabling you to have more fun now when you actively pursue your own self-interests. Concentrate on expressing yourself instead of worrying about others.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You know what you must do today in order to come through for those who depend on you. You can focus your mind on whatever must happen to make your dreams come true. Tread lightly; if you get overly cocky, your current little scheme could backfire and leave you with a messy situation. Your best contribution now is your honest commitment to be as present as possible when interacting with others.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may enjoy imagining how you will live in the future, but your daydreaming might be distracting to others. However, today’s balancing Libra Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure reminds you to keep a foot in the future while stabilizing the other one in the here and now. Widening your perspective enables you to maintain your unflagging vision for a better tomorrow while avoiding unrealistic idealism in the process.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current dilemma is striking a workable balance between simplicity and complexity. You may desire the creature comforts of being in a relationship, but you might not want to pay the emotional price. To avoid complications later on, consider the consequences of your unrestrained ambitions. Be smart and set aside some personal desires in the name of the higher cause of love.

Daily Horoscopes for April 15th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s earthy Virgo Moon requires us to analyze the facts, then make decisions based on common sense. Although we want to be practical, our logic may be hastily conceived now as Virgo’s key planet Mercury is retrograde. Additionally, mental Mercury forms a squishy semisquare with imaginative Neptune, tempting us to choose fantasy over reality. Paying extra careful attention to our perceptions can minimize the confusion that could lead us astray.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your workmates may be extra critical of your actions as the picky Virgo Moon visits your 6th House of Details today. However, you’re not in the mood to change your behavior just to placate someone else. Perhaps you are being judged unfairly, but you would still be wise to consider how to address their concerns before you completely shut them out. This could be a significant opportunity for you to improve your game, rather than complaining about others who don’t appreciate what you do.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might actually be able to finish your work because you are not as likely to be distracted today. Although you could still be a bit scattered in your thinking, it’s helpful that your friends who often tempt you to leave your responsibilities now have a lot to do themselves. If you are ahead of schedule now, don’t get lazy. You can accomplish more than you expect if you simply keep going at a steady pace.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be revisiting childhood memories with more clarity than usual, and this could be a pleasant distraction from what you should be doing. However, your little excursions into your personal history might reawaken emotions from the past. Analyze your feelings so you know which ones are significant enough to motivate new action. This process will take practice, but, fortunately, you can learn to keep up external appearances now while you also attend to your journey within.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are the most productive when your new ideas are reinforcing your professional goals. The smart Virgo Moon is thinking her way through your 3rd House of Communication, elevating your confidence and reminding you that you are on the right track. There isn’t any hurry now, because, thankfully, your current plan should solidify in the next week or two.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Take inventory of what you have recently accomplished so you can raise things to the next level without making yourself much busier than you already are. Stabilizing your financial and social networks enables you to maintain a higher level of creativity now. Remember, you don’t have to expend more energy; gain efficiency and consistency by acting smarter in everything you do.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to dutiful Virgo is a mixed blessing now. On one hand, you aspire toward quality in your work and in your relationships. Fortunately, sound data allows you to think clearly and make wise decisions. On the other hand, the Moon emphasizes your subjective feelings, which can have you reconsidering a recent decision. Listening to both your head and your heart will lead to the best of both worlds.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You still have a day or two to finish up old business before the Moon returns to your sign and initiates a brand new cycle. This isn’t the smartest time to start a project — you are much better off focusing on finishing an old one. However, it’s not enough now to just meet your obligations with efficiency. There are lots of possibilities before you; take the one that also incorporates elements of grace and beauty.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon in your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams can draw your attention into the future as if it were today. But you must not lose sight of your position and what you have on your plate right now. You must find a harmonious balance between your ideal vision and your current everyday reality. Thankfully, you will know that you’re on the right path when you can hold your dreams in awareness, even when you are awake.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Grandiose ideas and extravagant plans may come naturally to you, but today’s detail-oriented Virgo Moon in your 10th House of Career requires you to place limits on yourself. However, no one will be able to do this for you; it must come from within. Rather than looking out at every distant horizon, focus on what is directly in front of you.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everyone’s seeking you out today because it appears that you can plan events, solidify projects or simply determine the best way to get a job done. Your mind may be able to cut through the myriad of details, enabling you to make crucial decisions about what is important and what is not. But it’s not constructive to become overly detached from your feelings. Bring compassion into your process, for it can make the difference between just getting by and stunning others with your sincerity.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You become uncomfortable today if someone brings up a touchy emotional issue that you cannot easily avoid. Ironically, your current attempts to sidestep a difficult discussion can actually be harder than just breathing deeply and jumping in. Even if you are overwhelmed by complex emotions, listen closely to what others say and then express what you feel. You should come out of this situation with a renewed appreciation for life.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s activation of your 7th House of Partnerships shifts the focus away from you and puts it on others with whom you work and play. Unfortunately, they may be less inclined to join in your dreams and fantasies now, which can be disheartening for you. But don’t blame anyone else for your discomfort; instead, take a bit of time and gently nurture those parts of yourself that remain unappreciated.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/2

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

As if things weren’t already moving fast enough, the Moon shifts into speedy Aries at 7:51 am EDT. And, assertive Mars also enters spontaneous Aries early this morning, making six planets in this excitable sign. Things may be a bit crazy since the Moon conjuncts Mars and electric Uranus today, firing up our enthusiasm for new beginnings. However, our feelings intensify when romantic Venus forms a cooperative sextile with passionate Pluto.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Everything is happening so fast now that you won’t even have time to think about what to do; you just do it. You barely finish one project or handle a personal issue when something new comes at you from a different direction. Fortunately, you are well equipped to react quickly when the Moon is in your sign. No planning is needed today; you can always make adjustments later on.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may long for some peace and quiet now, but even if you’re resistant to getting involved in a group activity, you’re able to muster up enough energy to get by. Others may perceive you as lazy because they’re unable to feel your enthusiasm. However, limiting most of your activity to the non-physical world of emotional fantasy isn’t a waste of time since today’s dreams can turn into tomorrow’s reality.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be quite excited about what’s ahead with six planets traveling through your 11th House of Long-Term Goals. Ironically, the future may seem more real than the present moment. Unfortunately, it may be much harder than you think to execute plans today. Instead of trying to manage all the variables and power your way toward your destination, let go of control. Floating on the waves without resistance is more productive now than struggling to control your direction.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are feeling stressed out today because your friends expect you to be active now and you want to relax. Even if you spend much of the day at home, it’s challenging to take your mind off unsettling dynamics at work or in your community. Thankfully, you don’t have to bring the tension to resolution now. Instead, allow your feelings to ebb and flow with your own emotional tides, putting off significant decisions until the pressure subsides.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be holding on to anger from an old emotional wound, it’s hard to stay in a negative place for very long today. Six planets in enterprising Aries are activating your 9th House of Adventure, enabling you to turn anxiety into action. Once you find your pace, no one will likely get in your way. However if someone does pose trouble, you should be able to overcome your annoyance by talking about your feelings.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Typically, you’re more interested in knowing that you have the facts right than exploring your feelings about what’s happening. Today, however, you can push through old emotional limitations and into new territory because you want the most intense experience you can get. Your behavior might surprise your friends or partner because usually you’re more cautious. Don’t resist your desires because you’re afraid of being judged. This is your opportunity to create positive change, so don’t let it slip through your fingers.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Working on a relationship now sounds easier than it actually is because it’s difficult to rein in your thoughts and feelings. Still, it’s a smart strategy to try your best. Be careful; if you attempt to procrastinate, you may have to deal with a close friend or partner who has a very different idea of what you should be doing today. Ultimately, don’t worry too much about other people’s expectations. Do what you can along the way, but take enough time to relax.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t so restrained in the expression of your feelings today because sweet Venus supports your key planet Pluto, making you less worried about a harsh reaction from anyone else. You might even get a kick out of stepping over the edge of acceptability, if only for the shock value. However, expressing your quirkiness is safer now because you also can focus your attention on whatever needs to get done. It’s easier to get away with being weird when you are also efficient.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may seem overly excited today as you express yourself wholeheartedly in nearly everything you do. Others may have a hard time keeping up with you as you try to fulfill your current obligations. Although you’re on a creative roll, you still might feel as if you’re running out of time. Remember that other people need to adhere to schedules, even if you’re less concerned with the concept of linear time.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Fortunately, your day could offer the respite you seek, though it still may be challenging for you to enjoy it. A hectic day on the home front magnifies your desire for some peace and quiet, but you’ll probably be bored by the time you finally get it. Remember, there’s no reason to create drama where none previously existed. Your attitude can make all the difference in the world.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may experience an intellectual breakthrough with respect to your place within the community today. You could learn something new from a close friend that helps you understand how much others value your contributions now. But rather than resting on your laurels and basking in the compliments, you’re already ready for the next project. It’s fine to push ahead, but first take time to acknowledge what you’ve already accomplished.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe that the real world isn’t all that important now as you indulge in your fantasies. Luckily, this can become quite a spiritual journey if you are ready to minimize your material needs. Nevertheless, no matter how this kind of non-physical thinking plays itself out, financial concerns could bring you crashing back down to earth. Attend to your commitments with the same urgency that you give your dreams so you can return to your creative pursuits as soon as possible.

Daily Horoscopes for 3/30

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The forward thrust of energy, propelled by four planets in assertive Aries, is led by quicksilver Mercury. However, a cosmic undertow is created today as Mercury begins its three-week retrograde phase, retracing the now familiar territory of Aries. We’re required to review old plans, reconsider recent experiences and rethink new ideas. Frustration is likely, but the Moon’s move into dreamy Pisces at 6:38 pm EDT can soften most any disappointment.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your mind is racing now, challenging you to hold on to any one thought and put it into action as mental Mercury turns retrograde in your sign today. You may become frustrated because you cannot figure out what you’re doing wrong. But don’t attempt to force anything to happen; instead, enjoy the speed at which your ideas seem to run through your mind, even if you don’t see much progress now. It could make more sense to retreat until you’re ready to assert yourself again.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you appear cool and calm to your friends at work now, they would get into trouble if they jumped to any quick conclusions about you today. Beneath your easygoing veneer, you could be a jangled bundle of nerves, yet you’ll likely keep your insecurities to yourself. Instead of trying to settle your thoughts, allow yourself to be entertained by them without having to say anything at all.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury stands still in restless Aries and your 11th House of Groups, raising your need for social activity to the next level. You may be able to have fun today, but you still have to pay attention to your physical energy or you could exhaust your reserves. It’s not easy to hold yourself back when you’re having such a good time, but you’ll be glad you did.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might feel reclusive today while the rest of the world seems to be moving forward. Nevertheless, you aren’t quite ready for what’s about to happen. The supersensitive Pisces Moon is reminding you that it is wiser to wait a few days before pushing your agenda ahead, even if you’re impatient today. Don’t worry about being judged by others; trusting your intuition won’t steer you wrong.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to start something new now, but your impatience may have you missing an important piece of the puzzle. Fortunately, you can navigate the difference between easy success and risky trouble if you aren’t in such a hurry. A wild ride to an exciting place is in front of you, so don’t ruin it by starting without taking the time to consider the consequences of your actions.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Talking about your feelings before you start your careful analysis of the facts can be more problematic than useful today. You may forget to consider how someone might react to your bold ideas, only to be surprised with the speed at which the emotional landscape changes. It’s hard to navigate through the nervous tension, but your spontaneous expression can move things along a lot faster than you expect.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your attempts to keep to yourself today won’t work because you’ll likely get drawn out of your reclusion before you can fully disappear. It’s quite a challenge to focus on your work when there are so many enticing distractions, including fascinating conversations with different people happening throughout the day. Paradoxically, you’ll get a lot accomplished when you are still plugged into the world around you. Find a way to balance business with pleasure.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be feeling emotional dissonance today as you try to reconcile your desire to be compassionate with your frustration at work. Unfortunately, your associates aren’t doing their jobs, yet you still want to encourage everyone to contribute as best as he or she can. You are perceptive enough to see the most efficient way to do a task and you want to assume authority to make something happen. Keep in mind that you cannot control others; nonetheless, you can find satisfaction by changing your expectations.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can cleverly arrive at many ways to avoid work today because you have a bad case of spring fever. However, escaping from your responsibilities isn’t all fun and games, making it unlikely that you’ll do anything irrational. Still, your mind continues to work overtime. You might be able to talk your way into a sweet situation by capitalizing on your current charm. Take a risk, but be patient; it’s going to take a while to get what you want.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You must face an interesting dilemma today that pits your current desire for independence against your innate need for security. This dichotomy becomes increasingly complex if you over-personalize your experiences. If you believe that your freedom is being squelched, you could react impulsively in a way that jeopardizes your position at work. There’s no need to push your agenda on anyone else. Accept what you have and wait until the calm returns before you do anything rash.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be feeling great as everything clicks into place today — especially when you are packing so much into a short amount of time. Don’t add too many new activities or you’ll end up being overbooked. Make a conscious choice to lessen your load by moving an appointment or two to another day when you’ll have more flexibility in your schedule. Allow room for the unexpected.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are trying to integrate the changes that are occurring daily, and this is quite a task. If you have been secretly wishing for the pace to slow down, you may temporarily get what you wanted. Although you won’t necessarily have control over the general timeline, everything will flow smoother if you are less demanding of yourself and others.

Daily Horoscopes for 3/20

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

It’s the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, a day of equal light and dark and the first day of a new astrological year. The Sun moves into impulsive Aries today, pushing energy ahead without concern about what may be blocking its expression. Vegetation grows anew with rejuvenated force. Although the relationship-oriented Libra Moon encourages us to be nice, an emotionally intense Venus-Pluto aspect coaxes us to share our deepest passions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Sun’s visit to your sign should boost your vitality and provoke you to initiate action. You are very eager now to start something new, but it makes sense to moderate your impulses. Instead of wasting energy on an unsuitable venture, think twice before you cannot undo what you’ve done. If it still seems like a good idea after some serious thought, then go ahead with your plan.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although plants and animals respond positively to the new spring season, you may be less expressive. But your introversion today isn’t about the fear of being seen; it’s just that you may be busy doing important spiritual processing. Don’t allow anyone to call you stubborn now; you’re more eager for change than usual. However, take the time you need to feel safe enough before coming out of your shell.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you are naturally extroverted, the Sun’s entry into your 11th House of Friends marks an even busier social month ahead. You are now less interested in working hard to get ahead than taking it easy with your buddies and workmates. Instead of jumping through hoops to be noticed, relax and lose yourself in the group. There’s no need to stir up any more trouble than is necessary.

 
 
Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This is quite a stressful day with random thoughts encouraging you to swing into action without any prior reflection on what you’re about to do. This spontaneous behavior goes against your reflective nature, but it’s a tough day to wait patiently for a cosmic starting gun. Ultimately, you should be able to restrain yourself, but still could experience somatic discomfort if you don’t express your feelings. Be open to changing your mind, for the alternatives will continue to look better as the day goes on.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Last year’s unfulfilled dreams fade away as the Sun’s entry into your 9th House of Big Ideas draws you into the future. But this cosmic turning point is not about defeat. In fact, you don’t have the luxury of focusing on failure. Forget about the past and look forward toward a successful future. Although it may take a while to feel as if you are gaining ground again, don’t lose sight of the prize.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be wondering if your friends are supporting your efforts now or just pacifying you with approving nods. The truth is that you won’t necessarily know if someone’s working against your progress. Unfortunately, it may be a waste of time and energy trying to figure it out. Just proceed slowly until you’re given the green light. It’s more important to enjoy yourself while working toward your goals today than it is to reach them.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are naturally predisposed toward working and playing with others, yet today your friend or partner might suggest that it’s time to do something on your own. Don’t think this is a rejection; it really isn’t personal. It’s just part of the evolution of any long-term relationship. Once you reestablish your metaphysical center, it will be even more fruitful to reunite and share your experiences with each other.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s frustrating to see all the options in front of you, knowing that your path has already been chosen for now. Even a slight improvement in the weather could be enough of a reason to increase your desire to set responsibilities aside and go out to play. Unfortunately, the timing isn’t right. Do your chores first and take care of your obligations before distracting yourself with something fun.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are probably feeling pleased with yourself now because your creative energy is running strong. It’s easy to express yourself however you choose today. But something still prevents you from having as much fun as you expected. Letting go of previous assumptions can help, yet the ultimate solutions come with time. There’s no need to be in such a hurry; slow down and enjoy the present moment.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not respond well to someone pushing you to make a quick decision. You could even become argumentative if you have to defend your right to move at your own speed, rather than follow another person’s arbitrary schedule. However, turning this difference of opinion into an open conflict is not a smart idea and won’t bring you any closer to your heart’s desire. Loosen up; your flexibility in response to external demands can turn a difficult situation around to your advantage.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be dealing with conflicting agendas today. You need some downtime and think that working on your own is a smart idea. But don’t miss your chance to learn from the people in your immediate environment. Unfortunately, there’s no way to be alone and with others simultaneously. You can, however, benefit from the best of both worlds if you alternate your approach throughout the day.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It may seem as if others are just beginning their projects, yet you already started yours a while back. Take your efforts to the next level by creating more stability in your life. This could involve a new and different approach to allocating your time. Instead of focusing on an inspirational or creative process, increase productivity by prioritizing your tasks and then doing them methodically, one after another.

Finding and Blessing Your Home

Finding and Blessing Your Home

 

by Bronwynn Forrest Torgerson

Spring is in the air, and the nesting urge has begun. Here is a light-hearted and airy house-finding and house-blessing ritual for people who know in their bones that it’s time to seek out a home of their own. You’ve long outgrown your parents’ nest and passed the nomadic apartment dweller phase. The new you longs for stability and a place to call home. You want your name on a mailbox, invitations to homeowners’ association meetings. You covet a mantel on which to display Grandma Madison’s china or Grandpa Rossman’s musket. You yearn for trees you can get to know over many seasons and neighbors you can count on, and you have your resources all in a row. This springtime ritual can help sharpen the focus and bring your dream house into the land of manifest reality.

Do your mundane homework first. Check the listings and property values, and listen up for real estate agents that are real wizards at cinching a deal and taking your priorities to heart. Then enter the magickal realms…

House-Hunting Ritual

For the house-hunting ritual, you will need:

  • A bird’s nest (Warning: shakest thou not the nests from the trees, but go ye into craft stores instead, where such things await in great bounty!)
  • A hollowed-out and dried egg that you can write on with a fine-point marking pen
  • A gold candle
  • A house representation
  • A piece of parchment paper
  • A small fire laid of straw and twigs

Make a simple altar outdoors, with those things important to your tradition. For your house representation, many possibilities exist. Do you own a Monopoly game? Pluck a green plastic house from the box. Have a Yule decoration shaped like a gingerbread house? That will do fine. You can also simply draw a house outline on the parchment paper, leaving room for your list of specs. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. Love and the universe will make it so. On the egg, write “My new home.” You can add your name, date and runes or other magickal sigils if you want.

Now comes your shopping list. Be as specific as you can, while keeping a healthy amount of realism in play. Where should the house be, in conjunction to work, school, culture, family, etc? Envision your ideal floor plan, describing it in words. Is there a yard? A garden space? Is the place environmentally friendly? How big is the garage? What would you like to be within strolling distance of? For price range, you might want to give two figures — the first being what you’d prefer to pay, and the second being the most you can go.

When you are done, roll up your parchment paper so that it’s a thin enough scroll to be inserted through the open ends of the hollowed-out egg. Where else would a dream house hatch? Cast the circle in your way, lastly lighting the gold candle and invoke your patron deity, or whomever you feel most likely to help you in this rite. You may wish to call upon the Goddess in her guise as bird goddess, ancient mother of us all, from whom the egg of the world was laid. Other hearthfire keepers might include Juno, Vesta, Brigit or Hestia. Nordic types may turn to Frigga as queen mother of Asgard, or even to good friend Thor, said to gladly bless a new home and to party with the best. A suggested invocation might be:

By the spark within Your breast,
Feel my longing for my nest.
Grant that I, contented, dwell
By sacred words and ancient spell.
So mote it be!

Holding the egg cupped in your hands, and speak aloud your dearest wishes and desires for your home, including the timeframe in which you hope to find it. Kiss the egg gently and lay it in the nest, thanking Deity for making it hatch with its otherworldly, all-knowing magick. Lay the nest atop the twigs and straw you will use to kindle the fire, then light the spark. As the nest, egg, and your vision burn, know that your mental blueprints are rising to the heavens where your Hallowed House Hunter is seeing them clearly and already beginning to discern where your perfect home might be.

Close the circle in your way, but allow the gold candle to burn out. If that is not possible all in one night, pinch it out and relight it for the next several nights until the candle is gone.

Get yourself a cardboard box and pack some unneeded things away. This signals the universe that you are becoming mobile and can take occupancy of your new home as soon as the closing documents are signed.

House-Blessing Ritual

Huzzah! The Old Ones and your banker have coming shining through! You dance a wild jig, sign a million papers and are petrified and exhilarated. You are now a homeowner! For this house-blessing ritual, you will need:

  • A white taper candle
  • Blessing oil (your choice of scent)
  • Sage or incense
  • A crystal dish or clear bowl
  • Bells

The first New Moon after you have keys in hand and have unpacked enough things to live sanely from day to day, invite friends over to bless your new home. Ask each to bring you a coin from the happiest place they have visited recently — so that your home might be blessed with happiness and prosperity — and a bell to ring for mirth and to summon the fey folk forth.

Light the candle, and trace an invoking pentagram at every entrance, asking that truth, benevolence and harmony enter in. You may wish to add an extra wish for great sex, creativity, personal growth and new opportunities, or other heart’s desires. Hand your favorite blessing oil to a special friend, and have him or her bless each reflective surface by drawing the same invoking pentagram in oil and expressing the same wish. Burn some sage or your favorite magickal incense, inviting all unseen creatures of goodly heart and helpful hands to come and dwell herein.

After this is accomplished, guests may deposit their coins one by one into the dish, telling of the happy place in which the coin made its way into their pockets. Never spend these coins, but rather look upon this hoard as treasure of the heart and a certain guarantee that you will never be destitute.

Now those guests who have bells should go merrily ringing and dancing through the place, proclaiming lighthearted wishes for you as they do so: “I wish for your cat to love it here! I wish you incredible sexual romps! May nothing you cook in this kitchen ever burn! May there always be wine in your fridge!” Let unbounded imagination bring forth creative, graphic, heartfelt and humorous wishes. Well-wishers may shout “huzzah!” or “so mote it be!”

Now it is time to sing to the house itself, blessing it with your hopes and praise. What better tune than the 1980s classic rock tune, “Our House,” by Graham Nash? Here are some magickally-modified lyrics, penned by yours truly, to serenade your new home:

Oh my/your house is a very, very, very fine house!
With friends in every chair
And love beyond compare.
Yes my/your house is a very, very, very fine house!

Oh my/your house is a very, very, very fine house!
Prosperity abounds
And hearty laughter sounds.
Oh my/your house is a very, very, very fine house!

Oh my/your house is a very, very, very fine house!
Health, wealth, good fortune too.
All blessings come to you.
For my/hour house is a very, very, very fine house!

This would be the perfect time for a toast, to you, to the God/dess, to your new home, and to many years of happiness together.
