Here is day two of that preparation for the Full Moon cycle mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry. Healing forces are definitely on the march — courtesy of the monthly lunar union with Chiron in Pisces (1:04AM) followed by their parallel (6:16AM). Don’t be shocked if mind-reading and tuning into a loved one’s deep-seated feelings becomes temporarily more prevalent. The concept of synchronicity is strongly associated with Chiron aspects. Improving your relationship with a significant other and close friends is definitely on the agenda as Pallas makes a fairly rare polarity to Juno (9:02AM) just 2+ hours before Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Juno (11:47AM). When a 150-degree alignment occurs, consider ways to adjust your thoughts, feelings or attitudes in order to keep your social life peaceful and balanced. One of two, monthly trines from the Moon to Jupiter in water signs (11:17AM) adds a benevolent touch and optimistic slant to the two, Juno-endowed sky patterns. If dark and stormy clouds appear to be developing on your love and money horizons, it is due to the annual Venus-Saturn conjunction happening this year, as well as next year, in often tension-plagued Scorpio (1:55PM). While most professional astrologers will see a Venus-Saturn union as distressing — with a great potential for delays, fears, frustrations, and blocks — the fine art (Venus) of right timing (Saturn) can help you get through the thunder-and-lightning bolts in order to make peace with dear ones and be sensible about financial matters. Helping you transform the Venus-Saturn rendezvous into something useful is a supportive, 60-degree tie from Venus to Pluto (6:52PM). Early meditations for tomorrow’s Full Moon, in individual or group format, are welcome additions to the global network of bringing enlightenment to humanity and the kingdoms of nature. 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 Horoscopes for Friday, August 30
We can trust our instincts today because the Moon shifts into hypersensitive Cancer at 7:32 am EDT, enabling us to feel ripples in the field before they reach our threshold of perception. We are aware that the universe is mysterious while the Moon forms free-flowing trines with psychic Neptune and karmic Saturn. However, we still may overreact now, even if we don’t reveal our true feelings as communicator Mercury sextiles excessive Jupiter.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may try to emotionally withdraw today, but your friends or co-workers won’t let you retreat without good reason. They might seem overly aggressive today, which is an interesting turn since you are often the assertive one. Instead of retreating all the way, find a comfortable halfway point where you still can interact with others so everyone feels satisfied.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Refusing to adapt to someone else’s schedule today may be your way of exerting control over an inequality that’s actually outside your sphere of influence. Others might think you are being childish, yet you are very serious about leaving yourself a little room now to exercise your flexibility. Normally, it’s your desire for stability that people honor, but now it currently works the other way around. Being adaptable allows you to have the most fun.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
If you’re unsure about your feelings today, you might attempt to overcompensate in order to prevent others from sensing your doubts. You may state your case clearly and then defend it eloquently, convincing everyone that you are passionate about your cause. Meanwhile, your angst could become a problem if your ambivalence remains stronger than your need to choose. Assume the best possible outcome and then take appropriate action; the power of positive thinking can’t be overemphasized.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You don’t have to say a word for others to understand how you are feeling today. It’s as if you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve now that the moody Cancer Moon is moving through your 1st House of Personality. Nevertheless, you’re likely to talk up a storm once you overcome your inertia and initiate a conversation about a controversial subject. Luckily, you may receive more support than you expect if you’re willing to take a risk and share what’s on your mind.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You can accumulate power today by keeping your deepest needs to yourself. The reflective Moon shifts into your 12th House of Secrets early this morning to remind you of the momentum you can build by not telling anyone about your deepest needs. But even your temporary fear of rejection may not be enough to keep you completely isolated. Consider all the valid reasons to hide your agenda. Then stretch beyond your comfort level and lay your cards on the table for all to see. Revealing your vulnerabilities is hard work that will be rewarded sooner than you think.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your tendency to approach your friends and colleagues with unnecessary caution now is supported by your methodical assessment. Fortunately, your precise perceptions and incisive logic sharpen your intuitive instincts, building your confidence level high enough, prompting you to explain your thought process to others. Don’t be afraid to share your gifts — especially now when your message is so vital.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You need to balance your ambitious nature with a softer and more sensitive side of your personality today. On one hand, you’re enthusiastic to get ahead now that the Moon shifts into your 10th House of Public Status. On the other hand, your commitment to your family may be even more important than your desire for success. Don’t waste time wondering which way to go. Fortunately, your inner voice offers the best advice if you just take time to tune into your imagination and listen.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You might not be telling anyone about your new plans for the next stage of your life. Maybe it’s because you aren’t ready for any realistic feedback; however, a fresh perspective can help you fine-tune your ideas. But you aren’t so interested in the little details since the wistful Cancer Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas encourages you to dream about your connection to the universe. Thankfully, you don’t have to take an all-or-nothing position. Sharing a few thoughts is a good start and can get the ball rolling in the right direction.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You don’t have as much time as you think now, so it’s unwise to promise the sky unless you’re sure you can deliver the goods. Mischievous Mercury supports auspicious Jupiter in your 8th House of Shared Resources, enabling you to profit from a joint enterprise if you are realistic in your assessment. Unfortunately, you could be quick to gloss over an important detail if it stands in your way. Exhibiting confidence is healthy, but only if your optimism is supported by the facts.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You have your own agenda today and may grow irritable if people make emotional demands on your time. Naturally, you’re eager to help a friend, but it may be difficult to let go of your attachment to your previous schedule. Forget about your own agenda for a while and take your cues from others now. Changing your attitude by temporarily shifting your attention away from your personal goals is easier once you realize that it’s also for your own good.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may be a bit anxious today because the moody Cancer Moon highlights your discomfort with your emotions. Fortunately, your feelings can be a source of strength if you don’t attempt to avoid or deny them. Instead of closing down your sensitive perceptions, consciously widen your perspective by concentrating on your long-term goals. Opening your heart deepens your connection with the entire universe.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You can be quite playful now that the Moon is dancing through your 5th House of Fun and Games. However, you still must exercise a bit of discipline because others can make an activity seem so good that you’re tempted to drop everything and head off to follow them. Don’t wait for your boss to get on your case about something you didn’t complete. Finishing your work before you escape will only sweeten your search for pleasure.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 21
The possibilities before us seem greater than ever, but with the potential also comes complexity. A powerful square between buoyant Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus — a pattern that lasts through next April — provokes extreme action and offers major rewards for bold behavior. However, the Moon slips into fuzzy Pisces at 12:43 am EDT, tempting us to question our optimism. Imagination is a two-way street that can lead to doubt or confidence.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are often the one who races ahead to achieve an early advantage. Now, however, it’s wise to practice patience on every level. Don’t let your imagination run away with a practical idea. Impulsive action can lessen your chances for success, even if everything looks good at first. Slowing down to a pace that you can sustain ultimately improves your odds of cashing in on the current opportunities.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
There may be such a high level of uncertainty in your life now that you overcompensate by clinging to the status quo. Paradoxically, it’s not that you want to hold onto the past; you really do crave change, but might be apprehensive about losing control of the process. Fortunately, you can remain open to the potential growth without jumping off a cliff. Don’t let fear stand in the way of the amazing possibilities that could be waiting just around the next corner if you have the courage to go there
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You like to keep your options open, especially when the choices look so promising. Happily, your future is not set in stone; there are a variety of alternatives to explore now. However, dreaming about each one could get in the way of actually choosing your path. Don’t be overly concerned that you might pick the wrong way; anything that allows you to continue your journey is better than staying in one place.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Your career may take an unexpected turn now, leading you in an exciting new direction. But the changes could be significant enough that they take several months to play on through. Nevertheless, your upbeat attitude can motivate others at work today. Ironically, it’s your current optimism that might inspire someone to offer you an exciting opportunity that ultimately gives you more freedom while bringing the recognition you deserve.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Lately you can’t stop dreaming about an amazing vacation to an exotic destination. Unfortunately, you might not be able to drop everything in your life and hop a plane for your great escape. But happiness is not as far away as you think. Seek satisfaction where you are, rather than where you wish you were heading. Luckily, you are fully capable of enjoying the present moment even with the unrealized wonders of the future still in front of you.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you prefer relationships to be clearly defined, sometimes it’s best to leave things more open-ended. However, someone’s behavior may be exceptionally difficult to decipher today, even if you ask for clarification. But there’s no need to push too hard; ultimately, you have a better chance of getting what you want if you remain attentive to the signals that others are giving you. If you can’t figure out what’s going on, avoid the temptation to withdraw. An honest dialogue enables you to create something that works for both of you.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are envisioning your rise to success now, but may be rather impractical about what to do next. Although you might have moments of doubt throughout the day, you can’t help but see the brighter side of every situation now. A positive outlook is healthy, but not if you ignore the facts. Aim high when setting your goals, but be realistic when making choices.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re not interested in becoming entangled in other people’s emotional dramas these days because you are more intrigued with the idea of exploring your own imagination. The complexities of interpersonal relationships may distract you from your current creative efforts. Even if you love someone enough to offer the help they need, you still must face the limitations of your time. Take care of yourself first or you won’t have much to give to anyone else
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may not be in complete control of your feelings, yet you’re willing to let go and follow the emotional flow wherever it leads. You want to take things seriously, but it might be more important now to pursue the fun things in life. Even if you attempt to adopt a more somber attitude, you could end up frustrated if you try too hard. Fortunately, going along with your imagination today is the best way to realize your creative potential.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your world is full of surprises today, but you might be resistant to them. You want to feel as if you can control the circumstances, but other people’s optimism pulls you out of your safety zone and encourages you to think about possibilities beyond your normal scope. However, there are treasures waiting to be discovered if you have the courage to take a step into the unknown.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Entertaining daydreams about material wealth might motivate you to apply yourself diligently on the job. But unrealistic fantasies about get-rich schemes could distract you from more important work today. Giving yourself permission to think about the potential is healthy if you follow through with concrete actions. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Taking small steps toward a lofty goal is better than taking giant steps toward a more modest one.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may feel affectionate today and willing to express what’s in your heart, even if it means being vulnerable. However, it’s not a good idea to pretend that everything is okay if it really isn’t or you’ll end up wasting energy making up for lost time. Explore all your options but don’t slip into denial. You can manifest your dreams if you focus on the right ones.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 19th
The atmosphere is buzzing today and we can tune into the excitement once the Moon shifts into futuristic Aquarius at 12:06 am EDT. We’re open to innovative ideas now as the demonstrative Leo Sun activates a long-lasting square between expansive Jupiter and inventive Uranus that’s exact on Wednesday. Maintaining a rational perspective is nearly impossible because captivating Venus and spellbinding Neptune overwhelm reality with our fantasies.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You might feel as if you’re a character in a science fiction story today since it’s tough to tell what is real and what is illusion. You might make a grand gesture now, even if you would be better off staying low key. Nevertheless, you aren’t interested in safety; you prefer to deal with the unknown as it appears. After all, you are in your element when you are exploring new territory, often by rushing into it without a concrete plan. Dream big; the future is yours to create.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Your instincts suggest that you should try something different today, but you may not be able to explain why. You are resistant because you typically don’t like change unless there’s a darn good reason. Something isn’t making sense now; the facts just don’t add up. Try not to make any major decisions at this time while you remain open to the possibilities. See how you feel in a few days and then make up your mind. In the meantime, exploring the alternatives brings its own form of satisfaction.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Your current existential dilemma isn’t going away. One voice is telling you to be realistic and keep your feet on the ground. However, another voice is advising you to follow your instincts, even if you don’t understand where they are taking you. These two diverging paths lead to such different destinations that you don’t even know where to begin as you sort out your options. Keep it simple; start from the most practical perspective and slowly work your way through the list of possibilities.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
It may seem as if someone is thwarting your efforts today, but there’s no reason to let this negative energy impact your day. Although you might want to take other people’s actions into consideration, it’s healthier now to just concentrate on the exciting opportunities that are ahead. Even if you aren’t making as much progress as you wish, remain attentive to your goals and tighten your plans accordingly. Your positive attitude can be powerful enough to quickly overcome any temporary disappointment.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You enjoy connecting with others who open your mind to new ideas now that the progressive Aquarius Moon is visiting your 7th House of Relationships. But don’t let anyone distract you from your feelings. Instead, invite them to join you in a mutually agreeable activity, so you can benefit from the richness of a collaborative experience. The universe is offering you a spiritual elixir, but whether or not you choose to share the journey is your choice.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s challenging to know where to draw the line between reality and fantasy today. Your daydreams may feel as though your flights of fancy are quite real. Your best strategy is to continue carrying out your regular routines as if everything is perfectly normal. If you can stay grounded now, you could have something very special to show for your efforts by the end of the day
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You might think that you’re perfectly clear in your communication today, since you know what you are feeling and you’re sure about what you want to say. Unfortunately, there may be a metaphysical black hole lurking between your mind and your tongue, warping the words that make it to the surface. If you’re writing poetry or telling a story, this can add colorful imagery to your work. But otherwise, you need to remain on point with your message so that you don’t needlessly confuse others.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The cosmic mysteries seem close enough to touch today as you explore your imagination and bring back treasures from other dimensions. Your dreams are so vivid that you’re able to pluck a magical flower from a heavenly garden and when you wake, you still have that impossible flower in your hand. Don’t try to rationalize anything that happens now. Maximize the current potential by remaining open to unusual experiences and surprising synchronicities.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Fate is working on your behalf today and lady luck is on your side. Imagine a helpful angel sitting on your shoulder, whispering guidance in your ear all day. You don’t even need to believe in angels for this magic to work. Don’t get in the way of what they do, even if they are in another dimension of space and time. No matter how you need to frame it, you have invisible helpers at your service.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Although you may have a core of strong spiritual beliefs, you don’t take kindly to being pushed into non-physical realms. You are more comfortable when you can perceive exactly what is happening, which is one of the reasons why you accomplish so much. Today, however, a strange wind blows up weird debris from your own imagination. Pay close attention to your premonitions, whether or not they make any sense. Spending time in the dream world now is more productive than you think.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are receiving signals from outer space today, but they may be indecipherable. Don’t struggle trying to translate anything into English, for you can get the gist of the message by just using your imagination. In your heart, you understand what’s being communicated even if you can’t grasp it intellectually. But that is the point; it isn’t about the words. For now, it’s all about suspending belief and trusting your intuition.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your frustration increases if you think you have it all together within your own mind because your assessment just doesn’t jive with what’s happening. Instead of trying to rationally work your way through this dilemma, make time to delve beneath the surface noise. Fortunately, once you sink into your own imagination, you will be able to create a bit of magic. But don’t try to force anything; just ride the waves of spiritual inspiration and see where they take you.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 13th
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] Can you feel the difference between a day when the Moon is in Scorpio — as it is today — and when the Moon is in the other eleven zodiacal signs? There is a fierce intensity to Scorpio that is deep, subliminal and — often — palpable, if you are rather tuned in and psychic. Avoid using inflammatory rhetoric in any discussion as Mercury forms an off-kilter, 150-degree to mysterious and willful Pluto (7:59AM) while Mercury also makes an opposition to Juno (10:02AM). Pushing the envelope — without considering the feelings and sensitivities of dear ones and colleagues — is taboo. Opportunities for advancement in educational and literary pursuits are still available — courtesy of a flowing trine in water signs between the Moon and Jupiter (8:12AM). This harmonious configuration of 120-degrees broadens into a Grand Trine as the Moon trines Chiron (11:27AM) — giving a boost for explorations in the healing arts. Therefore, all three water signs — Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces — are geometrically in synch (a very intuitive association) via Jupiter, the Moon and Chiron. Immerse yourself in film classics or a bestseller tonight.
For August 9th – Your Daily Horoscopes
Critical analysis empowers us to make better decisions now that the Moon is in exacting Virgo. We want to filter out feelings that are no longer useful but sweet Venus aligns with extravagant Jupiter today, nearly overwhelming us with our desires. Instead of allowing our emotions to carry us along, we may choose to limit them. Even if we restrain ourselves, we should remember that attractions are not always as neat and tidy as we might wish.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your drive for independence often prompts you to take extreme action. However, you may be gathering more information now in order to balance other people’s needs with your own. Fortunately, acknowledging everyone’s boundaries will allow you to express yourself more freely. Respecting the wishes of your friends and acquaintances today is the wisest way to build a strong foundation in a new relationship.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
A roller coaster romance doesn’t sound so exciting today; neither does a get-rich-quick scheme that might turn out to be an expensive distraction. Although you like being entertained by your fantasies, you’re more interested in creating stability now than having fun. Thankfully, keeping your dreams separate from reality allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Decisions concerning your home and family won’t come easily today, yet your choices are not as critical as they may seem. Part of the current problem stems from being caught in the middle of an unsolvable dilemma. However, once you accept the notion that resolution is not on the horizon now, you are freed from having to take any action at all. Wait and see what happens before you make your next move.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You can accomplish more than you expect today by micromanaging your calendar. The trick is you must execute your plan exactly as imagined. Unfortunately, if you stuff too many commitments into your tight schedule, it will only take one late appointment to mess up your whole day. It’s best to give yourself some wiggle room in advance to allow for circumstances that are beyond your control. Exercising self-restraint works to your advantage now.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
It’s a perfect day to sit down and make a list of everything you do well. Consider this little exercise as a way of taking a personal inventory. But be completely honest and include those things about yourself you would like to improve as well. However, there is no reason to be extreme in your judgment about your shortcomings. You don’t need to make major changes now; instead play up your strengths rather than focusing on your liabilities.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your moods change dramatically throughout the day as you alternate between feeling positive about your goals and also struggling with your self-esteem. Since you’re often self-critical, it may seem awkward to go easy on yourself now. Even if you believe you’re doing fine, you still might bump into your inadequacies as if they belong to someone else. No matter who you are judging, continue to aspire toward greater acceptance. A compassionate heart creates the necessary space for positive change.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may be captivated by your imagination today and there’s little you can do to escape the spell. But don’t worry if you get lost in your dreams since they can be a very powerful source of inspiration. However, the more you attempt to cling to reality, the more annoyed you become with yourself now. Watching your fantasies unfold as if you are an unattached observer empowers you to learn how to use them to your benefit.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It may feel as if your friends are being overly critical of you today, but your extreme reactions are probably connected to your current sensitivity. You might believe that growing thicker skin would help, but there is a dangerous price to pay for wearing a tough exterior. It’s better to receive kind feedback from a supportive ally now than it is to get a much harsher assessment from someone else later on. Listen with an open mind and graciously accept the message as a gesture of genuine concern.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You might want to escape to a secluded tropical island now because there are too many details demanding your attention at work. You would rather leave this kind of micromanaging to someone else, but this is one of those times when you really need to knuckle down and do whatever is expected of you. Don’t waste energy complaining about your fate; whistle while you work and see who joins in.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Steady reassurance from others lifts your spirits through a difficult time. Although you would love to offer your support in return, chances are that your involvement won’t come without a cost. However, you must receive the bad news along with the good. Taking a bitter pill might be just the medicine you need to see things from a fresh perspective. A change in your attitude can greatly improve the relationship dynamics.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Sometimes you choose to avoid intense emotional interactions because you are not as comfortable navigating the illogical realms as the rational ones. However, you’re intrigued now by digging into repressed feelings with someone you trust, for there is useful information just beneath the threshold of your perceptions. Go slowly as you explore the shadows of your life since there are crucial lessons to learn on this spiritual journey.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It’s no laughing matter when someone criticizes you in a way that hurts your feelings. However, the current feedback may not be as intentionally mean as it seems. It isn’t always easy to hear the truth, especially when it’s stated so matter-of-factly. Instead of focusing only on the negative, reframe it in a way that gives you somewhere positive to go. There are almost always silver linings in the dark clouds if you look hard enough to find them.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 9th
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] During every sequence of approximately 10 to 14 days, usually one 24-hour time-period is offered as nearly a vacation day by the cosmic powers-that-be. Today is one of those days when it is all right to stop worrying about many minor concerns and old problems. Even though the Moon is in Virgo and there is a natural tendency to worry, Venus is on the rise — forming a parallel to radical-change agent Uranus (10:45AM), an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with benevolent Jupiter (just one minute later at 10:46AM), and its monthly union with the Moon (3:06PM). With Venus so strong, it is wise to realize that social urges, the creative arts and love bonds can be high on the agenda. There is also a reason to let go of recent tensions as the Moon-Venus conjunction also begins a void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 6:09AM tomorrow when the Moon enters affable Libra. During this kind of void lunar cycle — containing the potent but heart-centered essence of Venusian charm and beauty — your ability to magnetically attract what you need for achievements in the fine and graphic arts is greatly enhanced.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 6
Tuesday, August 6, 2013
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] Strange forces are on the prowl. This is always the case when the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle arrives with severity and finishing old business is definitely warranted. However, making ends meet — as the old saying goes — is not so simple right now because Pallas makes a rare opposition to Pluto (1:11PM) — following last night’s buoyant and joyful Pallas conjunction with Jupiter. Pallas under the influence of underworld-ruling Pluto can interfere or block any gains that were made on the problem-solving, strategic-thinking fronts on Monday evening. Help is on the way in the form of the monthly lunar union with Vesta (2:06PM) followed by the New Moon (activating 15 degrees of Leo at 2:52PM). At first mention, this sounds ideal as Leo is strong-willed, loving and creative, and Vesta connects with sisterhoods, safety and security matters, insurances rates and coverage, and investments. Thus, you should be able to generate a lot of forward momentum for the next four weeks — since every New Moon is a catalyst toward successful achievements for the near future. However, the exact time of this New Moon begins a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 8:58PM tomorrow night. Adding a little more confusion to the mix is a frictional, 135-degree between Mercury and Chiron (7:27PM). A time-out for reflection or meditation may bring you revelations.
Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for August 5th
Love is certainly in the air this week, thanks to Tuesday’s gorgeous New Moon in playful, amorous Leo. Communicating romantic sentiments will become more of a focus after Thursday, when Mercury also slides into Leo. The only rub in what would otherwise be a perfect romantic set up might be Wednesday’s sobering connection between Venus and Saturn. This reminds us that although love should make us feel good, it’s not only about fun and games.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your capacity to open your heart to someone special might lead to a fresh love connection. With a New Moon in your romance sector on Tuesday, followed with Mercury joining the same part of your chart on Thursday, you’ll soon understand that love is all around you and always has been. Until now, however, you might not have been as receptive to it. This week, a new direction is possible if you’re willing to take a chance. Are you ready?
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
If you’ve recently started to date someone, you might decide to take your sweetheart home to meet the family this week! On Thursday, when Mercury — the ruler of your romance sector — enters your 4th House of Home — expect a strong connection between love and domestic matters. You might also find yourself in the position of sharing more space with your lover, perhaps by exchanging drawers or closet space in each other’s home. Another possibility might include talks about moving in together. Remember, with Saturn in your partnership sector, these days love and relationships are a serious matter. Married? Then you might feel hungry for more romance — especially on Wednesday.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Lighthearted romance might not be on the agenda this week, as you’ll likely feel pulled between heavy work and domestic responsibilities. Harsh criticism about the one you love or the one you’re pining away for might come from a colleague or relative on Wednesday. You might also need to cancel plans for an after work date night to take care of business. Take heart, however, because things will be very different by the weekend. With the Moon in your romance sector Saturday and Sunday, you’ll certainly make time for love.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
This week, you might feel like your love life is one never ending game of tug of war. Your partner wants control over a certain situation, and he or she will likely seize the moment on Wednesday when a potent Jupiter-Pluto opposition crosses over your relationship axis. Try to remind him or her that love isn’t about control, and that as partners the two of you really are on the same team. If you’re single or dating, you might feel a pinch of rejection on Wednesday due to another cosmic influence. Dust yourself off and move on. With Saturn in your romance sector these days, settling in matters of the heart is not an option.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You might feel on top of the world this week, and rightly so! A glorious New Moon in your sign on Tuesday will leave you beaming, and others are sure to notice your bright disposition. In fact, this New Moon will help you attract partnership opportunities, whether business or personal. As the most romantic sign of the zodiac, this lunation may help you pursue a love interest that you’ve kept under wraps. In fact, Wednesday might be the time you come out of the closet about your secret crush. Don’t worry: You’ll be empowered, not flattened.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Expect a lesson when it comes to the power of love this week. On Wednesday, a hefty opposition between Jupiter and Pluto will tug at your heartstrings. You might wrestle with any anxiety you have relating to your capacity to give and receive love, but love will prevail in the end, thankfully. With Pluto touring your romance sector, your approach to matters of the heart is meant to be transformed. If you’re someone who relied on putting a wall up in the past in order to protect yourself from being hurt, then perhaps it’s time for those walls to come tumbling down. Let love in.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
There’s a possibility mid-week that a situation with a love interest will leave you feeling more insecure than usual. Perhaps there are feelings that you’re afraid to express for one reason or another. If so, realize that the greatest regrets in life tend to have more to do with what we never did rather than what we at least had the courage to try. On Saturday and Sunday the Moon will be in your sign, opening you up to a socially graceful and enjoyable weekend.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A friend might discourage you this week when it comes to a romantic matter. Perhaps he or she feels like you’re wasting time pursuing someone they feel is “out of your league.” Try not to allow anyone else’s opinion deflate you. In fact, consider that this pal might have a flame for you (or the object of your affection) that would explain the lack of support. On Thursday, the confusion gets even deeper and you might find yourself befuddled about your genuine feelings. Try not to overthink it.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your romantic focus may reach new heights this week, thanks to a combination of influences that all point to your 9th House of Expansion. First, a New Moon on Tuesday will light up this part of your chart and you’ll crave a new spiritual or cultural experience. It might turn romantic by Thursday, when Mercury — the ruler of your partnership sector — enters the 9th house as well. You and your mate may decide to embark on a new learning experience together. Or, you might finally book that dream vacation overseas.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your capacity to experience more joy in relationships is strong now that Jupiter is touring your 7th House of Partnership. On Wednesday, Jupiter will oppose Pluto, intensifying your craving to become one with your mate. You’re not only interested in commitment, you yearn for a true merging — body and soul. This theme continues on Thursday, when Mercury enters your 8th House of Intimacy, helping you speak up about your deepest desires.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Love and partnership is the name of the game for you this week! On Tuesday, a brilliant New Moon will fall in your 7th House of Partnerships, opening the door for new relationship potential. If you’re already dating someone, you might decide to become engaged, move in together or even get married over the next two weeks. If you’re already taken, then your connection to your love will surely be renewed this week. Even communication will take a positive turn after Thursday, when Mercury also moves into your 7th house. It’s wonderful when your mate isn’t just hearing you, but is also truly listening.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Love is everywhere these days, thanks to Jupiter’s influence in your 5th House of Romance. On Wednesday, Jupiter will engage Pluto in a way that will certainly intensify your connection to someone special. Sparks may fly between you and somebody you meet at a party or other group event. The connection you’ll feel with someone in your social circle might be so intense that you find yourself falling faster than you ever have before. Easy does it!
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Aug. 5th
[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] If you are looking to test your mettle or go through a trial by fire, the next seven days should suffice. Today begins somewhat innocently with a void lunar cycle in home-loving and family-oriented Cancer. This lasts until 9:59AM when the Moon enters Leo. Playing games and having child-like fun will keep you entertained. Delving into an art project, visiting a museum or gallery also fills the lunar mood with the Moon in the creative fifth sign of the zodiac. Romance could be beckoning as well as the Moon in Leo energizes the heart and stirs passions. Meanwhile, ingenious ideas are illuminating the mind like fiery comets streaking through the night sky as Pallas makes a rare conjunction with Jupiter in Cancer (8:50PM). Hone your problem-solving skills and make the most of strategy sessions as this optimistic and mentally-expansive alignment occurs. Even the next alignment — a potent Sun-Vesta union in Leo (9:20PM) — can prove rewarding as it has the capacity to increase the value of your assets and investments. However, this entire 24-hour time-period is part of what is called the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle which occurs right before a New Moon and which suggests the need to complete old projects with self-assurance. Therefore, the necessary traction and oomph to take any great leaps forward will have to wait until the Sun and Moon merge tomorrow and in the few days following.
