Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 25th

Self-confidence is wonderful, but too much of a good thing can be problematic now as the imaginative Pisces Moon harmonizes with excessive Jupiter, assertive Mars and talkative Mercury. Once again, the magic dance between make-it-real Saturn and make-it-up Neptune inspires us to realize our dreams. However, communication is vital to reach our goals. Even if we’re feeling optimistic about the future, our behavior is likely to be more conservative.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re riding on a high horse today and you might not be willing to heed the advice of anyone else. Unfortunately, you could be your own worst enemy if you also forget to listen to your heart. If you are absolutely certain about your recent choices, it may be difficult to even consider someone’s negative feelings simmering beneath the surface now. Slow down just enough to hear your inner voice since it’s healthier to integrate emotions as they arise. Once you’re in sync with yourself it’s easier to be more mindful of others.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You have something important to get off your chest today. Fortunately, a little compassion will go a long way when it comes to sharing your thoughts. It’s not that you are being particularly insensitive, but your feelings are inflated and you may be so emphatic in your expression that others can’t understand what you are trying to say. Step back and take a few breaths before flying off the handle. The good news is that speaking your truth will work out for the best if you remember that everyone is ultimately on the same team.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Pay close attention to your pocketbook, for your inclination now is toward extravagance. The problem is that you may feel so confident that everything appears to be coming up roses. But be careful … you can tend toward overspending what you have or over-committing what you do not have. If you remember to respect your limits and apply your enthusiasm to the details, you will end up in a much better financial position. A penny saved is a penny earned.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Other people may encourage you today while still secretly plotting against you. Perhaps a coworker or acquaintance is being extra nice to you now in an effort to cover his or her own tracks. Luckily, you’re capable of doing magic regardless of anyone else’s actions. Instead of wondering what is going on behind the scenes, just give your best performance. Luckily, your enthusiasm and talent, combined with a relentless determination, empowers you to breeze right past an ill-conceived roadblock, impressing your audience along the way.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The greatest thoughts are of little value unless they are brought out into the open for everyone to see. Share your creative ideas now, for they are more worthwhile than you realize. Recognizing your own power enables you to motivate an entire group by what you choose to say. Even if your innovation becomes unrecognizable as it evolves, you can still feel happy about contributing to the process. Sometimes being a catalyst is the most important role you can play.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Turning up the volume on your own intuitive voice today prevents you from responding too quickly to the actions of others. You will be better off by acting on what you actually need, but you must quiet down enough to figure out how you really feel. Timing is everything … swing into action once you truly know what your heart wants. Your exuberance is contagious and you could end up leading the pack. Even if your idea is a bit of a gamble, it still can work out as long as it’s grounded in reality.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may feel like you’ve been treading water recently, without making much progress. Now, however, the tide is shifting, the clouds are lifting, and you can see blue sky and many possibilities on the horizon. Still, you have a big choice in front of you that may determine which way you should go. It’s challenging to make this kind of life-changing decision, but not because you lack confidence or conviction. Instead, it’s simply because you cannot do everything all at once. Fortunately, the process of elimination helps you narrow your options.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are drawing your personal power from a deep well today, and others can’t help but stand up and take notice. You may find yourself embroiled in a conflict with someone close to you because of your current intensity. Thankfully, an unpleasant situation can be resolved to everyone’s benefit if you choose to travel the high road of integrity. A lively debate or even sexual fireworks with an intimate partner could open a path to a happy resolution.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s not easy to relinquish control, yet you should come out ahead if you moderate the expectations you place on yourself. Nevertheless, it’s so tempting to get swept up in someone’s grandiose scheme today that you can promise the sky before you realize what happened. Set your goals high enough to motivate yourself, but not so high that you end up discouraged. It’s better to build a strong foundation than a hastily constructed tower.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are on a personal mission and have specific tasks to complete today. Woe to anyone who gets in your way as you try to complete your appointed rounds. It’s a special gift to have the inner drive needed to do the work, even though there may be little recognition now for a job well done. It’s okay … you really don’t need any peer acknowledgment to feel good about yourself. Nevertheless, continue on your path without worrying about everyone else. Ultimately, your work will speak for itself.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Quite a lot of change is being packed into a short amount of time these days. Yesterday, you weren’t sure about a relationship. Today, you are raring to go and there is no holding you back. If you are already involved with someone special, you can enjoy the day as you combine your romantic optimism with a practical approach to make things last. Or if there’s a new person catching your eye, you could be ready to make your move. In any event, your spontaneity might set you on a new and exciting course.

The Royal Babies' Astrology Chart (I just had too!))

The Royal Baby Has Arrived

Exploring the Astrology of England’s future king

Maria DeSimone

Maria DeSimone on the topics of leo, cusp, celebrities, cancer, astrology

 

Its official, Kate Middleton and Prince William have welcomed their newborn prince into the world — a healthy boy weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces. His name hasn’t been released yet, but his horoscope is firmly written in the stars. What follows is a brief overview explaining the latest member of the royal family’s potential, as explained by his Astrology.

This royal cusper caused some confusion as many astrologers thought he may be a Leo! But it turns out Wills and Kate’s boy was born when the Sun was in the final degree and minute of the sign Cancer. This 29th degree in Astrology is known as a critical degree and does suggest that this little prince will have a certain amount of karmic responsibility in the domestic arena … no surprise there! Obviously this child was born with significant history and big shoes to fill. Based on the degree of his Sun sign he will surely take his role seriously.

A Full Moon, baby!

At the time of his birth, the Moon was also in the final degrees of Capricorn, right before a Full Moon in Aquarius. For all intents and purposes, the prince is a Full Moon baby which adds to the “fulfillment” role he will have in terms of domestic responsibility. How interesting that his mother was born with the very same opposition between the Sun in Cancer and Moon in Capricorn! Furthermore, there’s a remarkable array of four planets is in the sign Cancer at the time of his birth — and all of them are placed in the 8th House of Deep Transformation. With lucky Jupiter, assertive Mars, and intellectual Mercury posited in this sensitive water sign (along with the Sun), we can be sure that the new prince will have an intuitive and extremely intense mind and character. His memory will be strong and his gut instinct a force to be reckoned with. He will crave privacy and security which may prove troublesome for someone destined to be in the public eye.

Like mother, like son

Another extraordinary link in his chart has to do with the shift of Venus into Virgo on the day he was born. This suggests a soul who will be extremely service oriented and humble. Since Venus is opposite Neptune, he’ll have a vivid imagination and will be prone to idealism. He’ll certainly be someone with great faith! Another fascinating tidbit about the degree of his Venus is that it falls on the fixed star Regulus which is a royal star in Astrology. Many royal figures have planets or angles prominently placed at the 29th degree of Leo or first degree of Virgo. This star literally means “Little King” and will endow the native with a will to reign. He may run into some confusion about how to express his power since Venus does oppose Neptune in the communication axis (3rd House of Communication and 9th House of Big Ideas). However with Venus at a gorgeous angle to Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, he will surely have his heart in the right place.

The Moon in his chart makes a loose, out of sign square to Saturn which will deepen his emotions even more, amplifying the effects of a sober Capricorn Moon.  The authoritative influence in his life may feel overwhelming at times, yet this will also be the catalyst that leads him towards great success. Still, someone with four planets in sensitive Cancer in the deeply emotional 8th house may struggle with this Capricorn Moon square Saturn which demands a stiff upper lip.

A chart fit for a king

Another notable feature of the little prince’s horoscope is the fact that his Mercury placement is at the degree at which it turned direct only two days ago. This is a strong indicator that his mind will be especially clever and sensitive, although with a square to Uranus he may be prone to excitable communication when his emotions are triggered. His Mercury placement is near the fixed Star Sirius (14 degrees Cancer) which tends to bestow one with riches and fame. No surprise there.

Overall, the little prince has a chart of gold. Jupiter applies to an opposition to Pluto endowing him with tremendous power potential so this young man will be much more than a “poster boy” for royalty. Thankfully, the rest of his chart suggests he will use his clout for good.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 19

Our goals seem tantalizingly close, yet we have enough common sense to keep our feet planted firmly on the ground. Harmonious trines to otherworldly Neptune from optimistic Jupiter and energetic Mars encourages overconfidence, yet today’s exact trine from realistic Saturn requires us to balance expansive plans with methodical follow-through. A commitment to making our dreams come true can move even the most stubborn structures in our lives.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

No matter what you face on the road ahead you don’t need to do anything out of the ordinary today except believe in yourself. Naturally, your faith isn’t a guarantee of success; it’s merely your entry ticket. Your upcoming journey could teach you how to be more practical than ever. Exhibiting healthy self-confidence is a good start, but you’ll still have to apply yourself to succeed.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re ready to harness your creativity and make it work to your advantage. However, this is not just a one-day project; it could be your main focus for months to come. Even if you are waiting for a more opportune time to put your lofty plans into motion, at least solidify your dreams today. Any idea that receives your current approval is likely worth pursuing to see where it leads.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are usually on the move, yet paradoxically, it seems as if you make more progress today by staying in one place. The irony is you must sink deeper into your emotions to gain the knowledge that you seek. Possibilities may open up later in the month if you are willing to fulfill your current obligations now. However, it’s crucial to take time and explore the emotional origins of your restlessness so you don’t needlessly waste your valuable energy.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Be ready for someone to enter your life promising you fame, fortune or simply an opportunity to get ahead. Thankfully, you have the mental acuity now to ascertain if this is the real deal or just a passing pipe dream. Listen carefully to what’s being said and then give yourself plenty of time to roll the potential around in your mind. Don’t second guess your intuition today; just do what feels right.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may think that waiting is a smart idea now, don’t turn down an offer just because it doesn’t seem good enough. Even the most amazing opportunities won’t shock and awe you with their potential today; nevertheless, they still could be very promising. Make no mistake; you will have to work harder than you think to get the results you want. Luckily, the outcome should be well worth your effort if your heart is in the right place.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you long for a more relaxing schedule today, your efforts may be rewarded beyond your expectations. You might not be able to recognize the upside of a current opportunity because Mercury Retrograde — which ends tomorrow — limits your ability to see what’s around the corner. However, putting your shoulder to the wheel is still your smartest strategy. Thankfully, you can also have some fun in the process. Remember, the more you enjoy yourself along the way, the better your chances for success.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel a distinct contrast between doing what you know needs to be done today and your desire to pass the time lost in pleasant daydreams. Being aware of this dilemma is the first step, but you must remind yourself more than once that this is no time for escapist behavior. You have important foundational work that’s best started now and procrastinating could make for tougher going later on.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are all about keeping to yourself today, unless you’re required to interact with others to fulfill a previous commitment. It’s not that you are a loner; it’s just that you have important things to do now that can positively impact your future and you don’t want to be distracted by unnecessary noise. Spend time prioritizing old goals or creating new ones. Following your dreams feeds your soul and rejuvenates your entire being.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Honoring your goals in life is a smart idea today, whether or not they are part of your practical career plan. It’s best to widen your visions of the future because a singular focus on getting ahead can have a negative impact on your personal life. Public recognition is something that you want, but it’s not enough to just fulfill your dreams. Make time to cherish the friendships and intimate relationships that enrich your journey along the road to success.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Opportunities may fall out of the sky today, yet you could easily miss them unless you are looking up. If you are absolutely certain about your current long-term goals, you might not recognize other possibilities that drop into your lap. However, this doesn’t suggest you should be any less focused on the work at hand. It only means that widening your horizons can be an act of courage that pays off down the road.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It might appear as if you’ve lost interest in your goals today, but this is certainly not the case. It’s just that you’re in the process of redefining what’s most important in your life and it may differ from other people’s fixed assumptions. For example, instead of climbing the ladder at work, you might be more concerned with pursuing your personal or spiritual growth. Luckily, extracurricular explorations at this time can ultimately increase your earning power in the future to give you the best of both worlds.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could be ready to surrender if you are in a standoff with someone at work. However, backing down is not advisable today; it’s smarter to persistently express what’s in your heart. While it’s true that compromise usually works best, others will likely come around to your point of view if your intentions are sincere. Don’t settle for receiving the short end of the stick. Hang on to your dreams; cultivating patience makes more sense now than giving up too soon.

Your Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 17th

Wishing upon a star can actually make our dreams come true now that lucky Jupiter forms an emotionally stable Grand Trine with visionary Neptune and ambitious Saturn. This rare planetary pattern sheds its grace upon us for the next few days, empowering us to reach our goals as long as we’re willing to work hard. Meanwhile, the magnetic Scorpio Moon polarizes our feelings and urges us to take an extreme position on a delicate emotional matter.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your mental sharpness is strong today, but you may grow impatient if everything doesn’t go your way. You might expect others to respond quickly to your requests, but you’re probably moving too fast. Your overconfidence can land you in trouble if you don’t give someone plenty of time to catch up to you. A more mature approach will pay off now, making it smarter to let the waves of anticipation settle down prior to initiating action. Another day or two of fine-tuning your plans can’t hurt.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Naturally, you want to say yes rather than no with overindulgent Jupiter in the spotlight today. One scoop of ice cream isn’t enough now; if something tastes good, you want more. Unfortunately, your responsibilities will come second if you’re distracted by the pursuit of happiness. Remember, true joy comes from appreciating what you have and not from experiencing sensory overload. However, keeping things in perspective allows you to have your cake and eat it too.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might talk yourself into the craziest things today because your vivid imagination is speeding around, running on overdrive. You could underestimate the complexity of a job while convincing yourself that it will be a piece of cake. However, it’s better to be realistic than to commit to a deadline you won’t be able to keep. Being a bit more cautious in your assessment enables you to reach your goals on schedule and keep your integrity intact.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You seem more outgoing to others today than you actually feel, but perhaps your friendliness distracts people from asking probing questions. Although you may be quite content these days, it’s not easy to share the real reason for your enthusiasm because you’re afraid of being misunderstood. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to push yourself outside of your comfort zone now. Enjoy your daydreams and mental meandering without explaining yourself until you’re good and ready.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be certain that pleasure is just around the corner, but you could have a slightly distorted perspective of the future now. On the upside, your innate self-confidence improves your life through the power of positive thinking. Having faith in the impact of your actions can be an important key to your current happiness, assuming that you don’t lose touch with reality. Visualizing your ideal outcome is more effective if you apply some common sense along the way.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re tempted to throw all caution to the wind today, risking your current security in the hopes of creating a memorable experience. Unfortunately, your eagerness can lead to an awkward moment when you realize that the immediate fulfillment of your desires probably won’t bring you long-term satisfaction. Rather than taking a chance on a fleeting taste of pleasure, concentrate on doing something special that will last.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might lose track of your responsibilities today if you get caught up in a social whirlwind. Although there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy your friends and partake in pleasurable activities, don’t forget about your previous promises. If you avoid your obligations, it will certainly be more difficult to reach your goals. However, if you finish your work quickly, you can relax and enjoy floating off into a fantasy-land of fun and games.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s complicated to know exactly what is acceptable and what isn’t when asking for something that you want today. Although your requests aren’t really off the wall, your friends may not share the same intensity for your passions. Nevertheless, staying connected with your feelings is empowering, even if you think you need to keep your desires hidden. Ultimately, toning down your style just a bit gives others enough emotional distance to support you without feeling overwhelmed.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may think that indulgent behavior should bring you more joy, but following this strategy now only leads to frustration down the road. Unrestrained partying and other kinds of escapist activities can be a great deal of fun in moderation for a short amount of time. Meanwhile, getting serious about seeking your own personal vision requires a real commitment to hard work with the potential rewards to follow sometime in the future. Ultimately, the choice is yours

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have been performing your job duties under pressure recently, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise if you’re anxious to escape your heavy work responsibilities. Luckily, taking a long lunch or socializing on the clock may not be a problem as long as you don’t stretch the limits too far. A reasonable approach enables you to easily fit in some fun today without negatively impacting your reputation or your productivity. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying yourself, even if it doesn’t contribute to your progress.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be more interested in encouraging your coworkers today than you are in reaching your own goals. Thankfully, your magnanimity may prove to be lots of fun for you, even if you don’t get much done. Instead of putting all your eggs in someone else’s basket, reserve a few for yourself. Fortunately, balancing your dreams with other people’s agendas creates a situation where everyone can be a winner.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have the gift of being able to touch others profoundly today, healing past hurts and mending old wounds. Paradoxically, your current magic cannot be bottled or saved, however hard you try. Although acting with compassion is your specialty, you still may end up feeling like a victim if you go to extreme measures. Luckily, you don’t need to make major sacrifices to do your best work. Instead of holding back, open your heart and let your love light shine.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, February 10th

We can manifest our dreams from the seeds we plant as the ingenious Aquarius New Moon at 2:20 am EST marks the beginning of a new emotional cycle. But we must manage our exuberance because energetic Mars forms a dynamic square with powerful Jupiter, unleashing unbridled enthusiasm. Although a false sense of confidence tempts us to make commitments we can’t keep, a looming Venus-Saturn square counters our optimism with a more serious attitude.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your future may be looking bright now that the Aquarius New Moon lands in your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams, making it difficult for you to contain your excitement. However, you must be careful because you could be more gullible than usual. Your friends’ schemes for world domination might not be as sound as you think. Solutions appear closer than they actually are now, so keep your enthusiasm up while proceeding with common sense.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be stressed out by your own career plans now as you realize the commitment of time and energy it will take to achieve your goals. The Aquarius New Moon falls in your 10th House of Public Responsibility, yet you might feel restrained by the expectations of your partner or parents. Unfortunately, you can’t easily choose between work and family, so split your time equally during the next couple of weeks. Keep your eyes on the future while managing your relationships in the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You have so many things going on all at once that it may be difficult to finish everything you start. Your goals are set high and the Aquarius New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas has you believing you can accomplish more than usual. Although you have the skills required to do the job, you still might not be able to reach the stars. Avoid disappointment by finding satisfaction in each and every little task you do.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You could have unusual ideas about how to work with your colleagues today, but you might want more freedom of movement than you actually have in your current situation. The innovative Aquarius New Moon activates your 8th House of Transformation, yet you don’t have much latitude for experimentation now. If you want to gain the cooperation of others, don’t risk muddying the waters by revealing too much about your feelings. Instead, maintain clear boundaries between your personal and professional worlds for the best results.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are like a magnet for brilliant people now that the eccentric Aquarius New Moon stimulates your 7th House of Relationships. Unusual companions will likely play an important role in your immediate future. However, your assertive approach can complicate a situation, so it’s wise to let others take the lead in social interactions today. Although you may be infused with self-confidence, stay cool and work toward being more cooperative rather than blazing your own trail.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clean your closets, organize your information and sort through your files today. But do it in your own unique way because the individualistic Aquarius New Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Self-Improvement is a cosmic permission slip to be weird as you go about your chores. Don’t worry about involving others now as you establish your routine. An early spring cleaning will give you a new lease on life.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Use whatever technology is available to share your creative and fun-loving side today. The futuristic Aquarius New Moon falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, inspiring you to try something new. But your idealistic desire for spontaneity is at odds with your practical need to finish your chores. Take a computer break to draw a picture, write a poem or play a game before getting back to more serious endeavors. Be responsible, but give your inner child permission to come out and play.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might have unavoidable domestic responsibilities that require you to stay home and take care of personal business today rather than heading out into the world. The unpredictable Aquarius New Moon lands in your 4th House of Emotional Security, encouraging you to find shelter from the storms of life within the safety of your family. Don’t worry about any other activities you are missing; there will be plenty of time to chase your dreams another day.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s Aquarius New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication may make your life rather hectic as the complexity of your schedule increases. You might want to let the less critical issues slide, but you probably enjoy the energy as you bounce around from one thing to another. Just be sure to follow through on the details or they will come back to haunt you later on. Thankfully, your friends and family can help you stay on track with their confidence in your success.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Aquarius New Moon activates your 2nd House of Possessions, emphasizing money issues over the next couple of weeks. Maybe there is growing uncertainty in your cash flow or, perhaps, you need to juggle resources to cover expenses. Be wise and plan how to use the days ahead to stabilize your financial condition. Although you might be overly optimistic one moment and cautious the next, tempering the extremes is your best bet.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Insightful mental flashes bring you a new awareness about a current relationship as today’s New Moon in your sign puts you in touch with your emotions. You may need to explore ways to increase your personal freedom if you feel constrained by someone close to you. However, if you are already feeling independent, you might actually seek security from a partnership. Either way, stand between your dreams and reality so you can draw the two closer together.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Oftentimes your dreams are elusive and slip away before you have an opportunity to write them down. Now, as the electric Aquarius New Moon stimulates your 12th House of Soul Consciousness, the images are more vibrant than ever and can even overflow into your waking life. Fantasies may be subtle but are also quite powerful. Making time to drift into the hidden recesses of your imagination inspires you to realize your fullest potential.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Feb.8 – 10

Weekend Love Horoscopes

February 8 – 10: Make Your Escape

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Freedom and forgiveness could make this a memorable weekend. Friday is brightened by the friendliness of the Aquarius Moon, which encourages a willingness to encounter different kinds of people and experimentation. The later it gets, the wilder we feel, as favorable lunar connections to unconventional Uranus and open-minded Jupiter lift social restrictions. There’s no need to take things seriously, as we blow off steam without worrying too much about the consequences.

If someone goes too far and says or does something inappropriate, it’s likely to be forgiven when the rebellious Aquarius New Moon resets the emotional clock shortly after midnight on Sunday. Risky behavior is appealing, which is fine when it liberates feelings and leads to fun. But bending rules and breaking hearts by making unrealistic promises will probably produce an emotional hangover, leaving heartache and regrets behind the following morning.

Fortunately, the Moon’s move into spiritual Pisces brings compassion on Sunday afternoon, which helps us to forgive mistakes and heal relationship wounds. Imagination flourishes with this lunar placement, making it a perfect time for a romantic escape from reality. Taking a walk on a secluded beach, listening to beautiful music or watching a movie are wonderful ways to relax and recharge without the pressure of seeking explanations, setting goals or solving problems.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, February 7th

The lingering loveliness of sensual delight is likely to last through much of the day as long as we don’t overdo it. Beautiful Venus forms a magical trine to indulgent Jupiter, tempting us to ignore sensible limits, possibly by eating or drinking too much. Our expectations soar, and we may even receive good news about money or love. Unfortunately, we could get a karmic wake-up call as the sobering Capricorn Moon hooks up with ruthless Pluto.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

At first, nearly every opportunity sounds good today and you’re tempted to say yes before you even have all the facts. Although the power of positive thinking can impact your day, there may be a point at which enough is enough. The problem is there could be silver linings in all the clouds now, not just the dark ones. Nevertheless, exercising common sense saves you from being caught out in a storm.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your good luck could be the envy of others at work today because it appears as if everything is going your way. The support you receive now encourages you to feel confident and act generously. You are inclined to spread cheer and good will. Nevertheless, don’t take the easy life for granted. Be willing to work for what you want rather than just expecting the rewards to fall in your lap.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling very lucky today, but it’s still not a smart idea to bet the farm on an intuitive hunch at this time. It’s not that you are destined to lose; you could even win big. However, there’s an inherent instability in overextending your energy or resources. Although you can rationalize your risk-taking, you’re better off playing it safe for now. A practical approach could bring you more happiness than you expect.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are being drawn into a deep emotional mystery that involves complicated interrelationships and unresolved feelings. Although your initial approach may be intellectual now, your curiosity motivates you to investigate places you’ve never been. Follow your intuition, no matter what twists and turns life places in front of you. Let go of your fear of the unknown and open your heart.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could have a challenging time setting limits today. However, it’s even more likely that others in your life are frustrated with your lack of boundaries. It’s tough to maintain a clear perspective now because you’re very confident in your own abilities and in the potential of what you are doing. Practice turning down your volume and see if you receive a more positive reaction. Softening your approach won’t be any less fun, and it might be more effective in the long run.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have fallen into the giant Jupiter trap of dreaming about future success. It’s not that you lose touch with reality; you don’t. It’s just that you can get swept up in the potential comforts that go along with material rewards. However, it’s healthy to consider the creative possibilities, too. You might be ready to take a risk — as long as it’s not too big. It’s better to successfully hit your mark than set it too high and end up disappointed.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Once again you find yourself in that all too familiar place where both sides of a dilemma are equally attractive. No doubt, you love your freedom now. But you might have to give up some independence to gain the security of love that you also want. You could be leaning toward the side of intimacy and inclusion, but keep your travel options open, nonetheless. Fortunately, you can enjoy yourself today without making a final choice.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Getting along with others isn’t always easy for you because of your low tolerance for trivial matters. However, you may be feeling more confident about your role in relationships now. People in your immediate environment might attempt to use you in their quest for power today, but you’re more interested in seeking meaning. Even if your goals aren’t material ones, it’s time to reap some of the rewards from the seeds that you’ve sown.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

More of anything seems like a good idea now as delicious Venus harmonizes with your key planet Jupiter. You agree with William Blake, who wrote that the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. Unfortunately, it can also lead to the house of exhaustion. Even if you believe you know when to stop, you still might push it just one step too far. Thankfully, a more reserved approach enables you to indulge in the best of both worlds.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your vision inspires you to work harder now, especially if you love what you’re doing. But don’t get sucked up into expansive Jupiter’s inflationary spiral, or you might not be able to work your way back to Earth. Use your core values as your compass and then stick to your plan of action. Even if everything is sailing along, remember that good business sense and rational thinking will set the most successful course.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might talk yourself into thinking that all is in good working order at this time. However, you can also see the weak spot in the big picture and you believe your direct intervention could save the day. But it’s not a good idea to over-commit your resources to a project that’s built on the blue sky of Jupiter’s rosy optimism. Keep the ultimate goal in mind while focusing on your actions in the present moment.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be exuberantly shining in all your glory today when sexy Venus kisses your key planet Jupiter. Sit back and enjoy the perfection of your own imagination while also extending it outward into your local world. Others can see the twinkle in your eye now, but they won’t necessarily know the source of your excitement. Don’t stop to explain your behavior; just continue to spread your magic wherever you go.

Jupiter presides over Thursday. The vibrations of this day attune well to all matters involving material gain. Use them for working rituals that entail general success, accomplishment, honors and awards, or legal issues. These energies are also helpful in matters of luck, gambling, and prosperity.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 6th

Rushing out of the starting gate as a jittery jockey on horseback is not advised — when Sagittarius Moon is still in a void twilight zone until 9:56AM PST. Once the clock strikes that moment, the Moon leaves void status and enters earthy, industrious Capricorn for the next two days. Hard work and determination are your dynamic duo leading to the professional Promised Land.  Add a little eccentricity and innovation to your daily routines as Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with revolutionary Uranus (11:09AM PST). Tap into your creative imagination in the arts, photography, film-video production, music and dance improvisation when Mercury unites with Neptune at 3 degrees of Pisces (3:01PM PST). This latter conjunction also encourages soul-searching and meditation.  One of the best evenings in a long time greets you with fanfare since lovely Venus trines auspicious Jupiter (9:59PM PST) — paving the way with a rainbow essence toward early tomorrow’s Moon-Venus parallel (1:22AM PST). Be a pleasure-seeker for a change of pace.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of February 4th

A mid-week fling should be a fun thing when romantic Venus harmoniously hooks up with spontaneous Uranus and adventurous Jupiter on Wednesday and Thursday. Breaking rules by revisiting an ex or connecting with an unusual individual is dangerously exciting. Adopting an experimental attitude is ideal heading toward a weekend with a New Moon falling in unconventional Aquarius. Performing spontaneous acts of rebellion may feel thrilling in the moment, but could leave you with relationship regrets next week.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Dating is likely to be a group activity with the quirky Aquarius Moon hanging out in your 11th House of Friends on Friday and Saturday. A more casual set up gives you the freedom you need to relax with your partner or to have fun with someone new. Avoid packing your schedule, especially on Sunday when energetic Mars is stretched to the limit by boundless Jupiter. An overly ambitious plan could provoke anger when fatigue sets in. Exercising a bit of moderation will leave you feeling comfortably satisfied.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Work can lead to play on Wednesday when flirty Venus makes beautiful music with enthusiastic Jupiter. Going out with a colleague or attracting attention while on the job might create some minor complications, but you’re more likely to find pleasure when you bend the rules a little. If you go too far, reality will put your feet back on the ground very late on Sunday night when responsible Saturn comes calling to realign your priorities.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your sharp wit and fast tongue are helpful for making a new connection or livening up a conversation with your current partner on Friday. Just make sure others know when you’re teasing because what’s funny to one person can feel like an insult to another. Settling down could be tricky this weekend as your restless mind and body need to move. If you’re bored, do something out of the box to spice up your personal life. Your creative imagination is your best source for fun.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Saturday’s late night high-frequency Aquarius New Moon rocks your 8th House of Intimacy to rattle relationship patterns. You might attract an unusual person or share a strange experience that can be both weird and exciting. Adapting to surprises will be more rewarding than trying to stick to old traditions. Consider your connections as experiments where you’re free to explore different attitudes and approaches so that you can discover the best fit for you.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ripe for romance this weekend with the cerebral Aquarius New Moon occurring in your 7th House of Partners. This unconventional energy is bound to spice up your love life by connecting you with a free-spirited individual or enlivening your current relationship with new and unusual ways to play. But keep things lighthearted and avoid coming on too strong because it’s easy for others to feel smothered now. Ironically, giving some space to those you love brings them closer to you in the end.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s an edge in relationships this weekend that’s sparked by a conjunction between your clever ruling planet Mercury and passionate Mars. This cosmic alignment fires up your 7th House of Partners, increasing the chances for sparring with words. If you can take some teasing and give it back in a tender way, it will warm your heart and excite your brain. Avoid being picky since learning new ways to be with someone is more rewarding than sticking to your old standards.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Clear your calendar of major responsibilities this weekend because the electrifying Aquarius New Moon rocks your 5th House of Romance late on Saturday night. Having fun comes from stepping outside of your comfort zone, so take some chances by showing your quirky side. You know how to be flirty and friendly in a non-threatening way that attracts plenty of attention without looking like you’re desperate for it. It’s a weekend meant for singing, dancing and kicking up your heels.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Taking yourself lightly is an excellent way to be more appealing this weekend. The Moon is in cool Aquarius where emotional intensity can be a turn off. Eliminating the pressure of expectations creates a relaxing atmosphere that another person will be happy to share with you. Forget your goals in relationships and try a different approach to love. You can find a surprising freedom that helps you let go of the past, drop concerns about the future and fully enjoy the present.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Saturday night’s brilliant Aquarius New Moon opens fresh channels of communication. You can see your life from a different perspective, which helps you to overcome obstacles in your present relationship. If you’re single, this is an invitation to strike up casual conversations that could lead to something more serious. Just make sure that you give the other person a chance to speak as you may be extremely chatty now. Asking questions and actively listening to the answers demonstrates your willingness to give and take.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Break out of your shell and prepare to play in new and different ways this weekend. The unconventional Aquarius Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth makes you more attractive when you feel and act a little strange. It’s time to adopt a casual approach to having fun, as if you don’t have a care in the world. This easygoing attitude is not only enjoyable for you but makes you a much more captivating companion for those around you. Let your hair down and shine your light for all to see.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Saturday’s New Moon in your freedom-loving sign is like a breath of fresh air for your personal life. You’re ready to start all over, which allows you to let go of old disappointments to fully engage in the present moment. You’re smart, funny and different in a delightful way that can fascinate other people. Acting like a true original may be uncomfortable for overly cautious folks, but makes you much more attractive to the interesting ones.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could be feeling extra feisty on Friday when mischievous Mercury joins pushy Mars in your sign. This confident attitude can be useful for getting things off your chest and being more direct in expressing yourself. It helps, of course, to tone down the tartness so that you don’t come across too aggressively. Sharing strong ideas and passionate emotions with a tender touch is a great way to repair relationship wounds or to get a new one off the ground. The evocative Moon slips into your sign on Sunday afternoon, giving you the chance to escape into the magical realms of your imagination.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 31st

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

Daily Horoscopes for Wedneday, January 30th

Cosmic forces of expansion and contraction push us one way and pull us another. Windows of opportunity begin to open as auspicious Jupiter ends its four-month retrograde phase. Obstacles appear as the Sun squares restrictive Saturn, requiring us to slow down or even stop; however, external problems may be symptoms of our fears. The efficient Virgo Moon helps us make a plan, but success might demand a leap of faith in addition to hard work.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are confronted with the realization that your long-term goals may not be supported by the current circumstances. Nevertheless, you’re tempted to set your throttle at warp speed and ram your way through the restraints. However, this type of impulsive strategy is foolhardy now. Don’t push; instead, try to understand what reality is showing you. Once you learn that lesson, the stress will begin to dissipate and the path ahead will clear.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your emotions can get in the way today if someone blocks your progress, but the reasons for your intense feelings might not be apparent to you yet. Resist making any judgments now because it may take a few days to fully comprehend what’s going on. Life is somewhat unstable at the moment and it makes sense to wait until the turmoil settles. Take your time and get it right instead of blindly pushing forward.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel uncharacteristically pessimistic today, but nothing is as impossible as it seems. Thankfully, the emotions that are holding you back can also contain the seeds for your future progress. Don’t accept defeat under any circumstances, even if your confidence is waning. Remember, your current actions set the stage for the transformations ahead.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It feels like you don’t have enough of what you need today. Although your problem could be a lack of resources, it might also be your self-esteem that’s in short supply now. Whatever is troubling you, don’t allow yourself to grow discouraged; the current difficulties are not about failure. This is an excellent chance to prove yourself by gathering your strength and making the best of what you have.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if significant issues are already developing at home, your current actions still have major consequences over the weeks ahead. Consider the work that you must do; if you’re trying accomplish too much, you may be forced to let some things go. Make the necessary adjustments now by taking cues from reality before it’s too late. The sooner you act, the easier it will be to lighten your load.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your reliable common sense helps you to remember what is most important now. Even if something at work isn’t going as well as you wish, you can still make a smart decision today that enables you to stay on your chosen path. Be clear about your intentions and focus on your goals. Your confidence in your own abilities is currently your most valuable asset.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Most areas of your life seem to be moving along quite well, but you could face conflicts now between what you want to do and the amount of money you make. Someone close to you may act impulsively and irresponsibly, adding to your emotional stress. Your innate ability to roll with the uncertain circumstances is your best defense. Stay flexible, hold on to your sense of humor and you’ll move through this time with grace.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your temptation now is to follow the vision of your most idealistic future, even if it’s totally unrealistic. However, you must make some changes in your plans as your needs evolve with the shifting tides. But it doesn’t make sense to alter too much at once since you cannot afford to destabilize your life. Start making small yet meaningful adjustments so that you can reach your dreams.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You manage to keep a smile on your face, even when you encounter difficult situations. Although you have several supportive allies, it’s easy to doubt yourself now. But this is not a smart time to quit; if life seems overwhelming, remember that Saturn the Tester is only giving you a wake-up call. Taking a spiritual retreat may be all that you need to regain your footing. Do whatever is necessary to ground yourself for the changes ahead.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s all too easy to acknowledge your own weaknesses today while the radiant Sun squares your key planet, sobering Saturn. Unfortunately, you might judge yourself harshly; it’s frustrating if you don’t match up to your ideal. However, this period of testing isn’t happening because you’re not good enough; it’s because you are being so hard on yourself. For now, just take note of where reality doesn’t meet your expectations. Wait a few days before reassessing your goals and then make whatever improvements you can to step up your game.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Paradoxically, it’s easier to feel free if you can accept the limitations being placed on you now. Instead of trying to eliminate all boundaries, learn to work within the safety net they provide. Don’t attempt to push the edges of the envelope today. Restrain yourself just enough to maintain the status quo. Even if you’re facing a difficult challenge, rise to the occasion and show what you can do.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A highly restrictive situation may prevent you from stepping over your limits, even if you aren’t conscious of what’s holding you back now. Stop worrying about what could fall apart or what might not work. Instead, focus singularly on your responsibilities. Today won’t be the most relaxing day, but you can turn it into one that is quite productive with just a bit of serious intention and sincere follow-through.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 30th

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

Your What Was Suppose To Happen Horoscopes for January 29th

We may feel overloaded with facts today as we sift through the incoming data. The intellectually discriminating Virgo Moon raises the bar of acceptability now as we dismiss information that doesn’t stand up to our highest standards. However, concentration is challenged this morning as the emotional Moon squares boundless Jupiter in scattered Gemini. Thankfully, it’s easier to focus when the Moon harmonizes with perceptive Pluto later in the day.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Even the unimportant things can be annoying today, especially if they are the result of careless thinking. Unfortunately, you may be in a hurry and judge others harshly if they can’t keep up with your pace. However, practicing patience helps your day flow smoothly and makes everything run more efficiently in the long run. Remember, not everyone is as fast as you.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

There isn’t a lot of room for frivolous activities today; however, a bit of fun isn’t out of the question. You are eager to temporarily set aside your responsibilities, especially if you believe that you can learn something from an extracurricular experience. Find out in advance how much time you need to allow for play so you can finish up your chores later. It will be easier to escape for a while if you already know that you have your bases covered.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be the most meticulous worker in the world, yet you can move very quickly once you start a job. However, you may put extra attention toward the details today if you are trying to impress someone, especially your boss. But your work could still fall short of other people’s expectations, even if your intentions are honorable. Nevertheless, don’t be too self-critical; just do the best you can and move on to what’s next.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may do better today if you schedule your activities in advance, rather than flying by the seat of your pants. Attend to your commitments early on so you can also make time to get in touch with your inner self through prayer, meditation, or meaningful conversations with friends. Meeting your obligations is important, but don’t be so focused on the clock that you miss a truly wonderful opportunity to connect with your heart.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Make time to catch up on financial matters today since your mental acuity is even sharper than usual. However, the best application of your skills isn’t just to pay bills or balance your accounts. The issues are currently bigger, so sit back and reassess what’s of most value to you. If you must make a choice about allocating funds now, use your resources in the most practical way possible.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel somewhat uncomfortable with your irrational mood swings today as the emotional Moon visits your analytical sign. Avoid any tasks that require high levels of concentration, for you may not be able to prevent your mind from wandering now. Even if you want to take the day off, you’re unwilling to disappoint those who depend on you. However, scheduling short breaks throughout the day improves your ability to focus on the work at hand.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s becoming harder every day to contain yourself, but you’re probably not quite ready to let others know your feelings yet. Ironically, keeping your emotions to yourself now can heighten your spiritual awareness — as long as you don’t slip into denial about what’s occurring. Try not to succumb to external pressures; you’ll know exactly when to act if you trust your own intuition more than anyone else’s advice.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Spending time with your friends and associates today offers the change of pace you seek, but don’t try to micromanage your social activities. Instead of wasting time by attempting to create a memorable event, stay flexible without assuming control of the situation. Ultimately, you have more fun and are more effective today when you are acting spontaneously, instead of working from a script.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Attempts to accomplish too many things all at once today could lead to doing a poor job at all of them. Tread lightly in all of your interactions because understating your responses is the most efficient use of your energy now. Just take care of each problem as it pops up in a calm and collected manner. Your enthusiasm suddenly returns when others recognize how well you are handling a complicated situation.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

There are powerful forces at work today, yet they may be hiding behind the scenes so you can’t see them directly. Your personal proverb du jour might be “out of sight, out of mind,” but, ultimately, this isn’t the smartest strategy. Your tendency is to overlook minor details now, but a small thing could be the catalyst that turns your day around. Instead of jumping from one task to another, stick with each one until you are sure that the energy has run its course.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Consider the potential benefits of working in close collaboration with a partner now, whether you’re starting a new endeavor or simply doing a project around the house. Another person can bring important information or an interesting perspective to your work. However, you may be so quick to criticize the contributions of others today that you shut them up before you hear what they have to say. Don’t be judgmental or you might miss out on a really great idea.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if everything you do today falls short of other people’s expectations. But if someone is highly critical of your actions, he or she might not understand you or your behavior. Rather than responding as an unappreciated victim, take time to carefully explain your intentions. Even if you’re going over familiar territory, it’s healthier to share your hurt feelings instead of hiding them. Starting an honest dialogue provides an opportunity to clear the air once and for all.

Nightly Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, January 29th

Putting too much on your plate right now may be counter-productive as the Moon in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini (3:15AM PST). Keep in mind that 24 hours from now, Jupiter will finally station and turn direct after almost four months of retrograde motion.  While it is wise to slow your tempo in educational, business and professional matters, a Sun-Vesta trine in air signs (7:05AM PST) can spark your interest in exploring new options on the investment front. Look into what makes the stock, bond, commodity and precious-metal markets tick. Health and dietary concerns are back on center stage with the Moon in Virgo. Consider using a juicer to add vitamins and minerals to your nutritional intake.  If you are feeling the urge to pull away from the crowd, chalk it up to the combination of hermit-like Virgo Moon as well as a supportive, 60-degree tie between the lunar orb and Saturn (12:14PM PST). Learn crucial lessons from history books, almanacs and biographies as Jupiter — the largest planet in the solar system — is poised to shift gears tomorrow morning.

Weekend Love Horoscopes for January 25 – 27

Weekend Love Horoscopes

January 25 – 27: Going to Extremes

Jeff Jawer     Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology
 

Dramatic gestures and grand events invite love and affection into our lives this weekend. That’s not how we’re likely to feel on Friday morning, when the cautious Cancer Moon is more concerned with safety than adventure. But resistance to romance begins to melt in the afternoon with a lunar opposition to alluring Venus, and playing it safe is completely out of the picture on Saturday.

The flames of passion burn brightly on Saturday, when the Moon enters expressive Leo in the morning and favorable lunar aspects to unconventional Uranus and extravagant Jupiter add fuel to emotional fires in the evening. The hunger to open hearts peaks with the lively Leo Full Moon on Saturday night. Going to extremes in showing feelings and demanding attention may be unavoidable, yet allowing ourselves to prance, dance and express affection without restraint can make this a breakthrough time for relationships.

Giving generously and not holding back on expenses or emotions is a ticket to the big show of delight. This is no time to let practicality or logic get in the way of the pleasure that’s flowing now. It’s play time on Sunday, as flirtatious games and creative activities widen the channels of joy that keep love alive.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Jan. 21st

Weaving stories to connect the apparently separate bits of data in our lives creates tapestries of information. The Moon’s shift into curious Gemini at 9:04 am EST pulls us out of our hearts and into our heads. We feel like we have all the answers as the Moon harmonizes with the conscious Sun, clever Mercury and confident Jupiter. Conceptual breakthroughs are likely as Mercury the Messenger forms a collaborative sextile with ingenious Uranus.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 Apr 19)

Your mind is free to explore new ideas today, and your words are in the spotlight. Although you can jump to brilliant conclusions very quickly now, think before you speak and carefully read your email through one more time before you hit the send button. However, there’s no reason to hold back once you’re sure of your message. Since you have a greater impact on others than you realize, it’s wise to get it right the first time. Give your waiting audience a show they won’t forget.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 May 20)

Your thoughts may run amok today, as if they’re not under the jurisdiction of your logic. But temporarily setting aside common sense can actually lead to an unconventional solution to a tricky problem. Unfortunately, your co-workers might not be willing to give your ideas a fair hearing unless you have the facts to back up your position. Do your homework and be sure to have your information in order before sharing your plans with anyone else.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 Jun 20)

The Moon’s return to restless Gemini inspires your thoughts to fly around in circles, as if they are eagles spiraling on the thermals. Your performance seems easy and graceful to others, but you might need to work hard to keep up the appearance. Meanwhile, you could feel stuck as the prevailing winds won’t allow you to break free. Don’t waste energy struggling against the breezes now; enjoy floating around until the wind changes and gives you an opportunity to escape.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 Jul 22)

Sharing your emotions can be a challenge now, even if you’re clear about how you feel. However, you sense a change coming and you aren’t yet sure as to which way your mood will swing next. Thankfully, this uncertainty isn’t upsetting or worrisome today as long as you are content to just wait it out before making any important decisions. In the meantime, discuss your options objectively and be open to the feedback you receive.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 Aug 22)

Someone might come to you with an unusual plan today, but you aren’t so quick to endorse what you consider to be a risky solution to a simple problem. You can envision alternate strategies that seem more straightforward, and you would rather exhaust these direct approaches first. Even if you’re certain that your answer is the most logical one, remain open to the surprises you encounter along the way.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 Sep 22)

Your friends need you today in ways that require you to express more emotions than you prefer. Even if you’re resistant to revealing your inner thoughts now, try softening enough to give others what they want. You may feel like you’re just going through the motions at first, but sharing your heart is a perfect prescription to brighten your day. You might receive something beautiful in exchange for stepping outside of your comfort zone.

(Sep 23 Oct 22)

You could find yourself in a jam today, and you’re uncertain if you should ask for help or just let it ride. Imagine what you would do if you had absolutely nothing standing in your way. Then, return your focus back to your current situation. If sharing your needs can bring you any closer to your goals, then don’t hesitate to say what’s on your mind and just deal with the consequences as they arise.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 Nov 21)

You may intellectualize complex emotions that normally elude description. But your intuition is operating in overdrive now, so don’t be afraid to rely on it. Nevertheless, you still have to prioritize your needs or you will be pulled in so many directions that you’ll just end up annoyed. However, having a clear destination in mind gives you just enough stability that you can be creative without losing your way.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 Dec 21)

You can talk your way out of nearly anything today, relying on your social graces to avoid conflict. Your charm and wit are working for you now in ways that surprise even you. You know what you want and are willing to ask for it. Still, you could miss a significant opportunity when it appears in your life if you aren’t receptive. Being more sensitive to others helps you recognize your own path to happiness.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It may be challenging to stay motivated today because you can discover so many fun ways to keep your mind occupied that you end up avoiding your chores. Leaving a job undone is contrary to your basic nature, since you like to take care of business before you play. However, it’s time to try something different now by making pleasurable distractions your top priority for a change. The work will patiently wait for your return.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 Feb 18)

You could be very happy today, even if there’s too much happening in your life. For example, you might agree to one too many tasks and now you must find a way out of your extra commitments. Nevertheless, mischievous Mercury tempts you into thinking there’s a viable shortcut you can take. However, the flirty Gemini Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Fun and Games indicates that you should be able to enjoy the company of others even if you still have a job to finish

 

Pisces Horoscopes

(Feb 19 Mar 20)

Your thoughts are moving so rapidly now that you may not be able to keep up with your own fantasies as they overflow into your reality. But even the most original ideas don’t bring you any closer to a viable solution, so it might be wise to keep the unfinished schemes to yourself for now. Even if it takes another week or so, allow plenty of time for your plans to solidify before sharing them with anyone else. Start by writing everything down that crosses your mind, and then you can make sense of it all later.
