Before you know it, Mercury will be doing back flips in Scorpio — starting tomorrow and going until November 10. While Mercury in reverse has some good attributes and can help you review and re-evaluate recent business ventures, health matters and key communications, it is also a cosmic signal to be more careful and cautious in these realms. Utilize today’s early hours to make progress with financial plans and professional goals — working confidently via an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Pluto (3:58AM) and the Moon in Taurus forming a supportive, 60-degree link to providential Jupiter (2:03PM). However, this latter aspect starts a void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 9:15AM tomorrow. Find time to enjoy an excursion in the great outdoors. Really absorb the psychic vibrations invisibly linking the birds, trees and sky. Cooking, baking, arts, crafts and hobbies — in moderation — are in style tonight while the Moon meanders in late Taurus and Mercury becomes virtually motionless.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 18th
Golden opportunities for success and achievement across the board are moving into place as the monthly Full Moon approaches (forming exactly at 4:39PM and activating 26 degrees of Libra and Aries). All the hours before this time provide a build-up of dynamic support for your most important tasks and plans. A subtle and yet still mentally-expansive, 30-degree liaison from Pallas to Jupiter (3:23PM) gives this month’s solar-lunar high-tide cycle some extra pizzazz. Individual and group meditations are always recommended during a Full Moon — in order to receive and transmit the lofty divine vibrations to humanity hungry for enlightenment. Once the Full Moon reaches its peak at 4:39PM, a void lunar twilight zone enters the scene and lasts until 12:28AM tomorrow. It is appropriate to keep sending out healing thoughts and prayers to friends, relatives and the kingdoms of nature. Strive to keep your productivity going strong in favorite arts, crafts or hobbies as the Sun makes a contra-parallel to Ceres (8:20PM) and the Moon parallels Mars (11:36PM). Get ready to put ideas into practice once the Moon shifts from fiery Aries into earthy Taurus at 12:28AM on Saturday. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, October 15th
The little things in life can either help you click on all cylinders or block your forward progress. Ponder on that concept as Mars leaves free-wheeling Leo for meticulous Virgo (4:06AM) — a cycle that lasts until December 7. Small is beautiful can become your motto. Put extra oomph into clean-up campaigns, weeding the lawn and garden, organizational efforts and repair work. The monthly union of the Moon with Chiron in Pisces (6:49AM) can flood your mind with insights coming from higher realms of consciousness. Deja vu experiences and flashes of genius often occur when the wounded-healer archetypes related to Chiron are energized by the Moon’s psychic presence. Learn more about advances in the fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine. Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly disenfranchised as the Moon trines Mercury in water signs (7:05PM). Immerse yourself in a bestseller or film classic. Maintain an optimistic, exuberant mind-set overnight as a Moon-Jupiter trine (12:16AM tomorrow) transforms the earlier Moon-Mercury connection into a Grand Triangle in the heavens. Write down revelations that can be utilized at an auspicious time in the future. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Your Charm for October 12th is Pisces the Fishes
Your Charm for Today
Pisces the Fishes
Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive and sympathetic. This person could be merely an acquaintance who has influence with people in your circle.
General Description:
Twelfth sign of the Zodiac, Feb 19th to March 20th. Ruled by the planet Jupiter; correct metal, Tin. Those born under the influence of Pisces were believed to be highly emotional, imaginative, observant, artistic, musical, precise and prudent. The gem for Pisces is the Amethyst, whose occult properties were firmly believed in by the ancients. The Egyptians wore these stones as amulets against witchcraft, and for success in their undertakings. The Amethyst is also called The Bishops Stone from its supposed soothing influence, imparting a pious calm in time of danger. The stone was believed to confer happiness on the newly married.
Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 12th
Promising more than we can deliver today leads to trouble as the willful Sun dynamically squares overconfident Jupiter. We are prone to exaggerate our expectations and might assume that we will accomplish far more than we can actually reach now. And although the evocative Moon’s shift into futuristic Aquarius at 1:59 pm EDT reminds us that our beliefs shape the road ahead as much as anything else, she also encourages us to overextend ourselves
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You might think that everyone wants to do something with you today, making it difficult to focus on your previous commitments. Your popularity is running high and you want to grab every opportunity you can to have fun. But it’s not a great idea to say yes just because you’re afraid of being left out of the action. Balancing your approach to work and play allows you to get the most out of your day.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be extremely excited about all the wonderful things that are happening now because you believe that the current opportunities will lead to greater success. Although you are hopeful about what you can manage today, your expectations are probably out of proportion with reality. Rather than setting yourself up for a fall, avoid the temptation of taking on too much. Surely it’s better to do an admirable job at fewer tasks than to tackle everything haphazardly and fail.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Your current charm can be quite persuasive now. However, an inflationary square between the Sun and pompous Jupiter warns that you may not remember how to set boundaries and honor limitations. You could inadvertently detract from your accomplishments if you talk too much, so be extra careful about rambling on after you have already made your point. The adage “less is more” is sensible advice to follow today.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You could find yourself wrapped up in a controversy today because you aren’t very concerned about the changes ahead. Your friends or coworkers might try to tell you why you should be acting more maturely, but you just want to have a little fun. Enjoying yourself is wonderful as long as you don’t forget about your previous obligations, especially if others are depending on you now. There’s no substitute for how good you feel when you do something helpful for someone special.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You are quite opinionated today and might create situations where you can let everyone know exactly what you think. But others aren’t necessarily interested in listening to your rant for very long, so deliver your message as quickly as possible. Wasting time with too many details only weakens your story and makes you less believable, so demonstrate your ability to be concise and considerate. Use the art of persuasion to your advantage by leaving your audience wanting more.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might have a brilliant idea today about an activity that involves your friends. But you can become so excited that your expectations grow by leaps and bounds, making the logistics of your plan unmanageable. Even if you want to do things differently, don’t be so stuck on having your way now that everyone else loses interest. Share your thoughts with others and then listen carefully so you can integrate the best of their feedback.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You have a clear sense of what you stand for today, but communicating your beliefs could be challenging if you lose your objectivity. Your optimism can go so far that it inspires you to participate in a project or cause that might be better left alone. But don’t push the issue now if others are resistant and don’t want to go along for the ride. Your chances for success improve when you just allow the events to unfold as naturally as possible.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
These are intense times, making it even more important to find healthy ways to express your feelings. Thankfully, you are in a spiritually uplifting phase, yet someone may still read your energy all wrong. If something you say or do elicits a negative response from others, rest assured that it’s still smarter to share your emotions rather than to bury them. Those that truly know you will understand and appreciate your honesty.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You could soar right into an amazing experience today since you’re picking up on an upbeat wave of energy from the Sun’s square to lucky Jupiter. But remember, your key planet Jupiter is the magnifying lens of the cosmos, so it makes everything look bigger and better than it actually is in reality. Nevertheless, do what you do best and focus on the big picture because the general concepts are even more important now than the myriad of details. Don’t sweat the small stuff until next week.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You need to be careful because you could go overboard with the power of your positive thinking today. Ironically, anxiety might arise from too much of a good thing as the illuminating Sun’s square to jolly Jupiter lifts your spirits. Practicing a combination of flexibility and moderation brings you closer to your goals. Thankfully, you can make a lot of progress now if you channel your energy constructively and schedule your time wisely.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your friends may appear to be more serious about a particular situation than you are today. Fortunately, you’re likely aware of your current Pollyanna tendencies; nevertheless, you still have a lot of good things to say. There’s no need to abandon your optimistic attitude, even if others are overly cautious. Remain positive as long as you can, but don’t embellish the facts just to make your position more convincing. The truth is good enough on its own.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might not want to harbor any secrets today, yet keeping quiet may be necessary to earn someone’s trust. It would certainly be in bad taste if you reveal something private that was told to you in confidence. Fortunately, you have more options because there are so many other interesting topics to discuss. You’ll feel good about your discretion once you fully accept the reasons for your current boundaries. There are some things that are just better left unsaid.
Stretching Ourselves
Stretching Ourselves
With planning, you can turn your dreams into reality…
Jeff Jawer on the topics of venus, neptune, blogs, astrologyWe may find ourselves floating above the ground in the latter part of this week thanks to two spacey and expansive planetary patterns on Thursday Oct. 10 and Saturday Oct. 12. Both invite us to look beyond the limits of current reality where we can find inspiration. This pair of transits, though, is also associated with illusions that can lead us down a garden path that ends in a stony field where hope cannot take root. As with every planetary pattern, there are opportunities and risks.
These events are two challenging squares between Venus and Neptune and the Sun and Jupiter. The first is a romantic’s ideal as the planet of love is dissolved in a dreamy bath of imagination. Hearts can melt as social rules fall away in the fog of fantasy. This is an excellent aspect for inspiring lovers, poets and artists of all kinds. Venus’ aesthetic limits drift away on Neptunian clouds that make previously unattractive people seem more desirable. While it warms the heart to have these erotic boundaries erased, Thursday’s hunger for amour can blur judgment in relationships. We tend to see people as we’d like to see them, setting aside objective criteria and critical thinking. Those seeking pleasure at any cost can find it, although the price to be paid can be disillusionment when this transit passes and reality returns.
Keep those purse strings tight
Venus is also related to values, which can lose connection to logic thanks to Neptune’s unearthly influence. Spending money carelessly is a possible risk that should be avoided by delaying significant purchases. The stressful square between these planets is perfect for having otherworldly experiences but is a negative when it comes to practical matters. If you fall in love with an object or activity that will bust your budget, don’t write a check or take out your credit card until reason returns in a few days.
Take a realistic approach
The Sun and Jupiter are the largest bodies in the solar system, so Saturday’s tense aspect between these giants could shake our planet. There isn’t much that we can do to prevent earthquakes yet a little caution will help us to avoid getting lost in inflationary ideas. The willful, self-important Sun square boundless Jupiter can expand egos, raising expectations and making promises that may be hard to keep. This is another pattern that encourages us to leave behind the limits of common sense to pursue ideas and ambitions that may be impossible to reach. Yet stretching ourselves to see potential beyond present circumstances will provide motivation to aim higher. Whether it’s professional or personal ambition, this is a time to expect more from life.
In these complicated and often difficult times standing still is not the best option. Many of us seek shelter in the past, attempting to return to previous states of comfort that are, alas, behind us now. Yet with a dash of romance and inspiration we can see the shape of a better tomorrow that bold ideas and careful planning could turn into reality.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 12th
This is a good morning to emulate the tortoise rather than the hare. With the Moon in Capricorn in void mode until 11:01AM, why rush around like a dizzy chicken? Another reason to stay close to home and avoid getting involved in large-scale enterprises is that the Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer (8:10AM). When the two largest celestial bodies in our solar system form a jarring, 90-degree confrontation, everything big and complex may have cumbersome strings attached to it. Once the Moon leaves void status in Capricorn by entering the universal air sign of Aquarius (11:01AM), it is a good time to energize group projects, participate in team sports, and join community fundraising efforts. Think more about your higher destiny and being of service to the greater good than on fulfilling lower-level desires. Be a creative and artistic whirlwind across the board later on as the Moon unites with Juno (7:36PM) while also forming a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Venus (9:05PM). Enjoy an evening of board, card or word games with friends or family members. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Weekend of Oct. 11 – 13
Weekend Love Horoscopes
October 11-13: Radical Expansion
Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrologyA serious Capricorn Moon on Friday night may hold you back from reaching for what you most hope for in love — but it’ll only be temporary. By Saturday the Moon will sail into Aquarius and your mood will shift from sobriety to “anything is possible.”
It’s not the Moon alone that will be responsible for this shift. The Sun in relationship-oriented Libra will connect to Jupiter, offering plenty of hope to expand your world socially and romantically. Because the Moon will be in altruistic Aquarius, you’ll reveal the side of you that’s more eccentric and distinctive with ease. Fortunately, the freedom to love who, what and when you please will be supported on Saturday. Times ten.
On Sunday, you’ll still want to radically expand the realm of possibilities between you and your love, but it’ll have to be achieved after you and your mate tend to an order of business. The laundry still needs washing.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 11
Some of yesterday’s hazy Neptunian vibrations may still be registering in human awareness. This can lead to a rise in societal confusion and uncertainty. Venus making a frictional, 135-degree link to Jupiter (10:41AM) doesn’t help clarify the situation. It is important to avoid overdoing a good thing. The First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 19 degrees of Libra and Capricorn at 4:03PM) reminds you to cut through apparent obstacles in your path. Manage your business affairs with greater finesse. The monthly Moon-Jupiter polarity (5:06PM) begins a void lunar cycle that lasts nearly 18 hours until 11:01AM tomorrow. The underlying chaotic forces– that often intrude from dreamy Neptune — may be regrouping in intensity as Ceres makes a contra-parallel to Neptune (7:49PM). This aspect can function like an opposition in the zodiac — disrupting or temporarily weakening the bonds that solidify parent-child relationships. Giving you a better grip on reality is a supportive, 60-degree rapport between Venus in Sagittarius and Juno in Aquarius (11:30PM). Empower your primary partnerships and tune into latest styles dazzling the fashion world. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 9th
This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to remind you that celestial alignments that occur on one day don’t necessarily disappear the day after. Therefore, yesterday’s Mercury-Uranus and Mercury-Saturn aspects still carry weight and have repercussions throughout humanity. Nevertheless, they are operating more below the surface and not having the same potency as when they were precise. Fortunately, today is one of those 24-hour time-periods that occur in every month when the universe takes a siesta and stops tossing curve balls in and around home plate. There is a general and overall vitality boost coming from the Moon in Sagittarius making a supportive, 60-degree link to the Sun in Libra (9:32AM). Adding some reinforcement to spreading goodwill around the Earth is nurturing, caregiver Ceres making a constructive, 60-degree link to giant and often providential Jupiter (2:34PM). Let the good times roll tonight with fun, sports, and games. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 7th
Take advantage of a day which is more favorable than discordant. Giving you a strong upward-and-onward type of boost is the Moon in Scorpio forming a harmonious trine of 120-degrees with Jupiter in Cancer (10:34AM). The several hours just before this aspect is exact are filled with optimistic, hopeful and auspicious vibrations. This is reinforced as Venus enters the Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius (10:55AM) — an upbeat, goal-oriented cycle that lasts until November 5. A main challenging alignment of the day clocks in just a few minutes after Venus enters Sagittarius as Mars makes a frictional, 135-degree tie with Uranus (11:03AM). All hard and intense aspects between the red planet and the revolutionary planet can lead to explosive, unpredictable happenings. Plus, this Mars-Uranus association can stay influential for much of the day. Therefore, risk-taking and acting without careful forethought are off-limits. Thankfully, the fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine are positively activated via a Mercury trine to Chiron (3:08PM). Raise your productivity I.Q. in your main areas of expertise as Venus forms an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Ceres (8:38PM). This link-up doubles as an encouragement for making helpful changes to your dietary and nutritional needs. Slow your tempo later on when the Moon squares Mars (9:55PM) — starting a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 5:23AM tomorrow. Keep overnight decision-making to the bare minimum as Mercury is also approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree link to its higher-guardian planet Uranus (forming exactly at 12:12AM on Tuesday). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, Sept. 24th
Just before the Moon leaves void status in earthy Taurus by entering airy Gemini (12:35AM), a major asteroid — Juno — stops its retrograde cycle at 12:18AM and begins turning direct at 4 degrees of Aquarius. [Juno will remain in forward motion until December 15, 2014 when it will once again go retrograde at 18 degrees of Leo.] Just because Juno is the smallest of the first four asteroids discovered between 1801 and 1807 doesn’t make it insignificant. As one of the great astrologers of the 20th century — Eleanor Bach — used to remark, smallness (a major Juno characteristic) is just as important as bigness (a key Jupiter characteristic). All Juno themes — emotional empowerment or dis-empowerment in primary partnerships as well as marriage bonds, peace, diplomacy, fair treatment under the law, fashion, style, elegance, beauty, but also rage or terror perpetrated by the small and dispossessed as they seek to get back at their large-scale oppressors — are emphasized. Juno is also related to atmospheric storms — in the actual sky as well as in the psychic realm within families, neighborhoods, communities, cultures and societies. The prominence of Juno continues for this entire 24-hour time-period while the Moon in Gemini provides some lighthearted relief if you can spend several hours working on arts, crafts or hobbies. The Moon trine to the Sun (3:37AM) and in a supportive, 60-degree rapport with revelatory Uranus (10:02PM) can represent great opportunities for reading, writing, research, and studying advanced subjects. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Sept. 23
We may want to slow down the pace of life today so we can engage our senses more directly, rather than just rushing headlong into the next activity. It’s time to stop and smell the flowers now that the tactile Taurus Moon draws our attention toward physical experiences. Unfortunately, we could easily overindulge since excessive Jupiter is currently in the mix. However, throwing caution to the wind complicates emotional dynamics later in the day.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Handling unfinished financial business makes sense with the Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Money today, but you could mistakenly put effort into an unnecessary task if you don’t set clear priorities first. Establishing what is most important can turn a frustrating day into one of accomplishment. Concentrate on finishing one meaningful project instead of wasting your time on several things that won’t really matter in the long run.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You are wearing your heart on your sleeve for everyone to see today, even if you don’t want to share your emotions. Your reactions are more transparent to others now that the Moon is back in your 1st House of Appearances. However, your friends and associates might not fully understand your inner process, especially if things are more complicated than you wish. Although tempting, it’s not wise to leave out significant details just because it’s convenient in the moment.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You seem to be as steady as a rock today, but your stability may be a result of withholding something that you aren’t ready to reveal. Normally, you’re eager to blurt out your thoughts but you’re likely to remain quiet now. Wait until you’re clear about your feelings; develop your ideas for another couple of days before divulging your plans. Fine tuning your strategy improves your chances for success.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
It’s likely that your ideas will continue to take shape over the next couple of days until a concrete plan materializes from the clouds of your imagination. Ironically, the Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes can solidify your plans as you put the pieces of your life together in a practical way, rather than just entertaining idle fantasies. Don’t be overly concerned if you can’t yet figure out how to reach your goals; somehow, all the pieces will fall into place just in time.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You aren’t interested in carefully tip-toeing around the truth today. If you see a direct path to your desired destination, you will likely do nearly anything to get there in a speedy manner. Unfortunately, other people may not be so quick to jump on board, requiring you to slow down to explain your plan point by point. Don’t automatically trust a new partnership now because it might be smarter to work by yourself for a while longer. Sometimes the only person you can really count on is yourself.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You’re quite comfortable sharing your thoughts now that the Moon is in your 9th House of Big Ideas because it’s easier to talk about the future possibilities rather than the present moment. Stay focused on the horizon; discussing your plans in vague generalities is more productive today than trying to guess what’s missing. You can always fill in the details later when you have more of the specifics at your disposal.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Untangling all the mixed signals may be challenging today, especially if you want to take the course of least resistance. Although you have common sense working in your favor now, you still could be overly serious about the current situation. Your need to be practical conflicts with an irrepressible yet irrational optimism, prompting you to quickly move past your concerns so you can truly enjoy the good times ahead. Concentrate on the present moment and take one step at a time.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You want to sink deeper into your subconscious as you explore the current possibilities in your life. But you might run into resistance if you expect a close friend to participate with you on your metaphysical journey. Others may express their willingness to join you, only to withdraw before the energy becomes too intense. Don’t worry; you’re better off traveling in these imaginative realms by yourself, anyway. Your friends will just have to wait to hear about your amazing adventures when you return.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Routine brings opportunities to think about your physical well-being and encourages you to do something proactive to improve your health. Making small improvements to your diet or exercise program can have positive consequences now as long as you don’t alter too much too fast. Small steps that lead to enduring change are more useful than grandiose gestures that only last a day or two. Taking care of your body ensures that you’ll have the energy later on when you want it.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are riding a highly creative wave as the emotional Moon washes through your 5th House of Self-Expression. Fortunately, the dependable Taurus Moon enables you to set a sustainable pace in the morning and then stick with it until you finish your chores. Thankfully, you should have time for play, too, making this a relatively pleasant day. Nevertheless, expansive Jupiter tempts you to take on more than you can complete, so don’t say yes unless you really mean it.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are likely to receive much-needed support from family members and close friends now that the Moon is hanging out in your 4th House of Roots. Although you appreciate their warm generosity, the assistance might not be what you need — even if others mean well. If you feel smothered by someone meddling in your affairs, express your concerns as kindly as possible. Count your blessings; there’s no reason to make your life more complicated by offending your allies. You’re lucky to have people in your life who care.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may be swept right off your feet by other people’s agendas today because you think they need your help. Unfortunately, you could end up feeling like your assistance wasn’t very useful at all. Additionally, your own work could remain neglected. However, if you establish clear boundaries so you can fulfill your responsibilities early in the day, you’ll feel eager about jumping in to support someone else.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Sept. 23rd
Romantic matters may run from hot to cold this week, thanks to two very different cycles at play. First, Venus will be at a gorgeous trine to Jupiter on Thursday, allowing love to flow in the most open, sensitive way. Flattery and lavish gifts might be par for the course! If you’re planning to wine and dine anyone, Thursday will certainly be the day to do it! By the weekend, however, love becomes rocky as Venus and Mars lock horns in a testy square. Pride and power struggles take over and sweet sentiments might be lost amidst a clash of egos. Pick your battles and remember: Every rose has its thorn.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You might work so hard talking up your lover to relatives this week that you fail to take an honest look at any holes in your relationship. On Thursday, you’ll certainly see the best in your mate. You might even talk about sharing household expenses or purchasing a home together down the road if you don’t already live together. On Saturday, however, all of your idealism may go out the window when you’re likely to become frustrated with the way in which your lover handles finances. There could be a stalemate.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
With Venus in your 7th House of Intimate Partnerships until October 7, you have a special focus on love that will attract greater harmony and personal happiness. You’ll notice this trend on Thursday, when Venus will embrace Jupiter, the planet of abundance, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Expressing your love and devotion to someone close has never been easier. Remember your heartfelt words, however, because by Saturday you might experience a test. Venus will rub elbows with Mars in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. A domestic squabble may put a damper on romance.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
This week you may find it easy to wear your heart on your sleeve. The Moon will be in Gemini and your 1st House of Identity on Tuesday and Wednesday. This cosmic lineup will allow you to express emotions easily — which may bring a welcome change of pace to your usual style of logic first. On Thursday, Venus will be at a brilliant trine to Jupiter, helping to weave a magnetic spell between you and someone at the office. Will you succumb? Or will you try to ignore those butterflies in your stomach?
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Romance seems to flow effortlessly for you these days. With Venus in your 5th House of True Love until October 7, you certainly have an edge when it comes to attracting someone your way. On Thursday, you may feel as if you’ve won the cosmic jackpot of love. Venus will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, now in your sign. Delicious, sentimental, emotionally available amour will be yours for the taking. Whipped cream optional. On Saturday, however, a wrinkle in your romantic bliss might come up if you lose sight of a financial obligation in order to spend big and impress your lover. Think twice.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
With Venus in your 4th House of Home and Family Life, you’re more interested in making sure your lover fits in with your security needs these days. This might mean nesting at home together quietly, or it might have more to do with testing the waters to ensure that your sweetheart fits in with your clan. If he or she does, you’ll be golden; but if there’s any conflict, you might feel stuck in the middle. Ask yourself: Who defines your true state of security? Regardless of your relationship status, that power should belong to no one else but you.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Whether you’re single or attached, your social life may be the key to romantic happiness this week. On Thursday, Venus, in your 3rd House of Communication, will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, in your 11th House of Social Networking. You might enjoy a group activity, party or other event with your lover. You may also join a few friends at a social gathering and meet someone who stimulates your mind and heart! On Saturday, remain cautious with the words you choose. An acerbic remark to someone close might sting far more than intended.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your self-worth is tied to partnership under ordinary circumstances, but this week you may feel as if this is especially true. On Saturday, Venus, now in your 2nd House of Possessions, will be at a tense square to Mars, the ruler of your partnership sector. You might feel as if your partner doesn’t value you as much as they should, and if so this might lead to an angry confrontation. Alternatively, you may try to sweep your feelings under the rug in an attempt to avoid conflict. That approach will only backfire.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
With Venus still moving through your 1st House of Self until October 7, you’ll continue to enjoy a certain kind of sex appeal. On Thursday, you may find that you attract someone your way who is from a background quite unlike your own. This may be cultural, religious or educational. Regardless, you’ll feel enamored because of the differences. On Saturday, as Venus squares off with Mars, you might feel frustrated over having to choose between having fun versus taking care of a professional obligation. Do the right thing.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
This will be an ideal week to carve out time for yourself in order to consider a decision in your personal life. On Thursday, Venus, now in your 12th House of Privacy, will be at a perfect angle to Jupiter, your ruler. You’ll find a way to untangle romantic knots before you get caught up in them. Will you take your own advice? The test will be on Saturday, as Venus and Mars square off. Don’t be your own worst enemy when it comes to love. If things get sticky, hold on to your moral high ground.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The week may start out looking bright when it comes to blending your social and romantic life. However, you’ll want to remain cautious by the weekend. On Thursday, Venus and Jupiter will be at a friendly angle, allowing your partner to be generous and gracious in the company of your pals. On Saturday, though, there will be a swift change as Venus squares off with Mars in your 8th House of Shared Resources. A friend might overstep his or her boundaries and meddle in your finances. Your partner will not be pleased.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
This week — especially on Tuesday and Wednesday — your emotional focus will certainly be on romance. That’s because the Moon will be in your 5th House of True Love, encouraging you to seek pleasure and joy with someone special. But things may get dicey on Saturday if you’re in a relationship. You’ll want to impress the boss with your work on a project, so you might decide to bring work home for the weekend. Instead of receiving support from your mate, however, you’re more likely to get an attitude.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
On Thursday, you and your lover may decide to book that exotic vacation you’ve been talking about taking together. There will be plenty of romantic energy and wanderlust in the air for you, thanks to the Moon moving through your 5th House from Thursday afternoon through Saturday. In addition, Venus — now in your 9th House of Long Distance Travel — will be at a magnificent trine to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of True Love. Don’t allow a hiccup with your work schedule dampen your mood on Saturday. Make plans — and stick with them!
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, September 23
As indicated toward the close of yesterday’s calendar entry, the Moon in Taurus begins a 24+ hour void cycle as it makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with fortune-hunter Jupiter (12:14AM). Just before this alignment is exact, insights should be written down or recorded as they may lead to various pots of gold in your future. You may remember — from ancient Roman mythology — that Jupiter became the King of the Gods after the previous ruler, Saturn, was overthrown. Jupiter — among his many attributes — had the ability of foresight, to see the future ahead of time. However, with the discovery of the three outer planets, many asteroids and Chiron, Jupiter is not always recognized by students of astrology as a provider of precognitive dreams and visions. Nonetheless, the shadow side of this morning’s Moon-Jupiter rapport is that it also starts a long void-of-course Moon cycle that lasts until tomorrow morning at 12:35AM when the Moon enters airy, flexible and yet also dualistic Gemini. Keep your distance from emotional volatility and anyone who you deem is temperamental as the Moon parallels Mars (8:02AM). Start gearing up for another celestial station early tomorrow when it is Juno’s turn to switch from reverse to direct in Aquarius (exactly at 12:18AM on Tuesday). Juno is strongly associated with emotional empowerment or dis-empowerment in primary partnerships as well as marriage bonds, peace, diplomacy, fairness under the law, fashion, style, elegance, beauty, but also rage by the small and weakened individuals who have been oppressed by large-scale forces arrayed against them. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
