Your Horoscopes for Monday, December 12th

We still might find it easier to keep our feelings to ourselves, even though the emotional Cancer Moon intensifies our reactions. Although we may not say much, our moods continue changing throughout the day, and each shift helps to add new perspectives to our current situation. The Moon’s harmonious sextile to physical Mars enables us to initiate action, even if we choose to remain silent on this last day of messenger Mercury’s retrograde phase.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It may not be easy to return to work today because the self-protective Cancer Moon encourages you to hide behind an impenetrable wall. You could be worried about a personal matter that pulls some of your attention away from your work. You might even need extra time to take care of family responsibilities, so it’s crucial to find ways to increase your efficiency on the job. Completing tasks quicker enables you to gracefully balance your private and public obligations.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s difficult to stay within your limits today because indulgent Jupiter convinces you that anything is possible. However, your excessive behavior won’t likely be apparent to others as the introverted Cancer Moon visits your 3rd House of Communication. Although your judgment is cloudy now, you’re likely to err on the side of generosity rather than stinginess. Even if your day doesn’t unfold as expected, maintaining a flexible attitude helps to smooth over the rough spots.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your gut instincts could get in your way of having a good time today, but it isn’t a healthy strategy to ignore your feelings for the sake of convenience. If you do, you may become disconnected from your closest friends and co-workers. Sharing your emotions may be awkward at first, but the simple act of communication could be enough to prevent loneliness now. Revealing your vulnerability takes courage, but it’s the key to deepening an important relationship.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expressing your feelings seems more natural today with the Moon camping out in your sign. It’s even easier if you are confident about your current course of action. However, others may still be hesitant now, making it difficult to know if they really support your ideas. It’s a mistake to take the feedback you receive too personally. Instead of worrying or complaining, get busy and make your plan so awesome that it can’t be ignored.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s not time to reveal your feelings yet, for others may not be as trustworthy as they seem now. A co-worker might successfully play off your hopes and entice you to change your mind. Your best strategy today is practicing self-containment; keeping to yourself adds power to your dreams. Make time for your inner work and include others in your process only after you are ready.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s challenging to stay on track now because your emotions could be at odds with what’s happening in your outer world. You may not be feeling very grounded today; your current strategy may fall apart if it’s not based upon real business cycles. Thankfully, cutting back on superfluous activities should help you to concentrate on the most important work at hand.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may spend time today contacting a few key colleagues and asking them for their support. Unfortunately, it’s not likely that you will get them to commit to your plan, for everyone seems to have an agenda of his or her own. Instead of trying to herd cats, pare back your current aspirations. Simplifying your goals and limiting your conversations to one-on-one encounters increase your chances for success.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be thinking about an upcoming trip, but you’re not likely to share your plans yet. You could be afraid that others won’t understand your needs and you don’t want to waste time justifying your intentions. Additionally, it’s more useful to develop your ideas and take them to the next level before dissipating your enthusiasm by responding to any negative judgments. Once you have figured out your itinerary, then you’ll be able to talk about it with more confidence.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This can be a fairly smooth day, especially if you have figured how to be more comfortable with feelings that may have been causing trouble recently. At first confronting fears that stem from an old relationship wound may seem too overwhelming to face today, but it becomes easier as the day wears on. Interactions with others can take on a life of their own today, yet practicing the art of compromise helps you keep it all together now.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want more clarity in relationships now, but the security you crave may be nearly impossible to find if others aren’t playing by the same rules of the game. You may feel let down when someone doesn’t meet your high expectations for consistency or productivity. Getting your workmates to agree to your deadline today seems like a positive step, but this doesn’t mean they will actually deliver on their promises. Patience is necessary and a healthy sense of humor helps during these uncertain times.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re feeling out of your element today as illogical emotions swirl around, creating complex currents and subtle nuances that are hard to understand. A simple job might require more time to complete now because you won’t want to do things the tried-and-true way. If you can take the courage and enthusiasm you have about experimenting with new methods and use that positivity to jump into an emotional discussion, you may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your best efforts may be thwarted now, but your willingness to let go of your original course of action can enable you to overcome the current obstacles. Paradoxically, you — and not the circumstances — create the limitations today. Unfortunately, working harder won’t necessarily bring success; instead, unwavering persistence and a positive attitude is your ticket to the top.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, December 12th

If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, December 11th

Yesterday’s Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse may seem like ancient history, but their vibrations remain potent. The 48-hour time-period after any solar-lunar polarity represents an opportunity to distribute the illuminating energy-field that has just activated the Earth and humanity. How do you sign up to be an erstwhile distributor? There is no group to join – only the awareness of what is happening in the sky just before, during and after every Full Moon. Helping you send out revelations to dear ones and colleagues is a Moon-Neptune flowing trine in air signs (2:25AM PST) followed by a Sun-Chiron 72-degree link (4:35AM PST) and Venus-Uranus 72-degree connection (5:45AM PST). Both 72-degree aspects – based on dividing the 360-degree zodiacal circle by 5 – are high-level, empowering sky patterns. The only challenge partially holding back your efforts this morning is a 3-hour void lunar cycle happening from 2:25AM PST to 5:27AM PST (when the Moon enters its natural abode of watery Cancer). However, once the Moon is swimming happily in the fourth sign of the zodiac, home and family interests rise to the top of the totem pole. Nurturing loved ones is reinforced as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with expansive Jupiter (6:50AM PST) while also forming a harmonious trine of 120-degrees with shaman-like Chiron (7:35AM PST). While communications are somewhat constrained when Mercury forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (4:57PM PST), Vesta in Aquarius is helping you increase the value of your investments and assets by making a fairly rare trine to Saturn in Libra (11:57PM PST). Learn more about how stock, bond, precious-metal, currency and commodity markets work.

Uranus Direct for December 9th

Uranus Direct for December 9th

by Jeff Jawer

 

Uranus Direct

Friday, December 9

The coming chill of winter will not cool deep-seated desires for change when revolutionary Uranus turns direct. This planet has been retrograde since July 9, inhibiting the expression of original thoughts. Breakthroughs that have been bubbling under the surface are likely to appear more frequently during the next eight months. Some of them may be brilliantly exciting but many will be disturbing. However, transformation on personal and collective levels, no matter how destabilizing and frightening it can be now, is needed to revitalize and redirect humanity.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, December 8th

Letting go of self-limiting thoughts isn’t as easy as it sounds, but the potential rewards are big enough today to lure us out beyond our normal comfort zones. The Taurus Moon reminds us that we can take charge of our lives by controlling what we perceive. However, Sun and Mercury aspects to expansive Jupiter and nebulous Neptune can be very convincing. We are ready to lighten up and fly when the Moon breezes into flighty Gemini at 9:52 pm EST.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Enjoying yourself is good for your heart and soul, but even the most pleasurable experience can lose its attraction now if you don’t have a sense of purpose. Although there may be nothing specifically wrong today, you still might feel bored and restless. Don’t be too judgmental about your current circumstances. It’s okay if you want to retreat so you can integrate your most recent lessons before initiating another round of activity.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be so rigid today with the Moon in your sign, that you miss out on opportunities that are all around you. However, you may not even realize that your determination can make you stubborn over the wrong issues now. Naturally, you have the power to maintain your position, even if others are pressuring you to change. Just remember to demonstrate your strength of character by being flexible enough to adapt to the current circumstances when it makes sense.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might have felt that you didn’t receive enough benefits from a flurry of recent social activities. But withdrawing to recharge your emotional batteries hasn’t been as productive as you had hoped, either. Today you may be longing for new adventures to excite your imagination. You’re ready to say yes to nearly anything that sounds like a good time. Just remember to pay attention to your physical needs so you have enough energy for the increased pace in the days ahead.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your friends and colleagues might not leave you alone today because they want you to join them in activities that are outside your regular routine. Although your first impulse is to turn down an invitation that would only scatter your energy, it’s worth giving it a second thought. Rather than wasting time, participating in something different now can inspire you to be more creative in aspects of your work that may have grown boring.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

New ideas are presented to you today, widening your perspective and encouraging you to reconsider a recent decision. Although you might doubt yourself, you’re not necessarily pessimistic about your future; it’s just that recent optimism may not have played out as positively as you wanted. Nevertheless, you can be realistic now without ignoring the current opportunities. However, the urgency has passed, so you don’t have to act impulsively.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have big ideas about what the future may bring, yet it’s crucial to pay attention to the details that could derail your success. Fortunately, you’re able to make a major decision today without worrying about getting it wrong because the Moon’s current visit to practical Taurus helps you formulate concrete plans. Use your time wisely now by mapping out your strategy before things become so hectic that you can’t think clearly.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your anxiety eases today, allowing you to keep your thoughts to yourself. You aren’t driven to set others straight now since the current situation seems to be resolving itself. Instead of engaging in a distracting conversation, you actually want to get to the core of an important issue. Although your motives may be admirable, remember that you don’t need to say everything that you think. Be smart and think twice before sharing something that you will soon regret.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Normally, you have no problem standing up to anyone if they are being obstinate. However, someone might upset you today by successfully justifying his or her opposition to your authority. It might appear that others are just being stubborn, but their resistance could be based on a strong conviction that they have better ideas. Instead of arguing, be magnanimous and walk away; no one will win a fight now. It’s a much smarter strategy to wait until tensions settle and everyone is more flexible in their thinking.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you’re often a philosopher and a visionary, you don’t seem particularly interested in abstract theories today. But your apparent disinterest in ideas can be misleading with the materialistic Taurus Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Details. Your goal is to simplify everything to make any uncertainties more manageable. Focus on tangible outcomes now, for your restlessness could return tomorrow when the Moon is in changeable Gemini.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s refreshing to be sailing on calmer waters today, but you’re not willing to relax completely since you sense another storm brewing. Although you may have a day or two before the next wave of cosmic stress washes into your life, it’s best to prepare now instead of waiting for the action to hit. Don’t just accept the status quo; be proactive and seek creative ways to stabilize your position before you’re in the middle of more pressure to change.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your altruistic purpose may be to light the torch of awareness and lead the way forward, instead of watching others stumble around in the dark. But be careful since you’re moving through some pretty tricky territory now. Even your closest allies could suddenly pull back if they think you’re being overly judgmental about things you don’t understand. This isn’t the time to fake it; don’t pretend you know more than you do. Expressing your vulnerability enables your peers to trust you enough to partake in the decision-making process.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Consider the impact of your words before you open your mouth or hit send on an email today. Although you may be willing to push yourself in order to have a necessary discussion about a sensitive topic, your feelings might not translate easily into verbal or written language now. Nevertheless, you can miss your chance if you worry about getting every single nuance exactly right. Remember, your current task is to bring the conversation back to the most crucial issues.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, December 8th

The clock is ticking louder as we near both the official turnaround of Uranus – from reverse to direct in Aries – tomorrow night while the potent Full Moon (also a Total Lunar Eclipse) will occur the following morning on Saturday December 10. Wow! While last weekend was filled with martial intensity and void lunar uncertainty, there is an extraordinary vibration of high-level genius that is ready to descend on humanity and awakened individuals from December 9 to 11. Meanwhile, the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – play cat-and-mouse games early today as they make a dicey, 135-degree link (12:44AM PST). Overdoing a good thing and being too self-centered will boomerang. A touch of humility is the right celestial seasoning to start this day. Fashion, style, elegance and beauty are themes some 11 hours later when Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree tie to Juno (11:48AM PST). Check out the latest designs on the apparel, jewelry and art fronts. Your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity can be clicking on all cylinders – thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Neptune (12:03PM PST). Where you may need to slow your tempo in pragmatic business matters is during the void lunar cycle in Taurus that starts at 3:40PM PST and continues until 6:53PM PDT. Complete odds and ends during this 3+ hour uncertainty zone, and then move forward with key communications and literary pursuits once the Moon enters airy Gemini (6:53PM PST). Light-hearted discussions, arts, crafts and beloved hobbies are in the spotlight for the rest of the evening

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, November 30th

The emotionally detached Aquarius Moon lures us into social activities because it’s easy to avoid personal feelings by losing ourselves in a crowd. We can participate in a group of like-minded individuals, while still maintaining a certain amount of anonymity. But we could make commitments that are difficult to fulfill, especially if we’re involved with political action as retrograde Mercury forms a stressful sesquisquare with overblown Jupiter.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be ready to celebrate if your future is looking brighter these days, but make sure that your imagination isn’t playing tricks on you now. Anyway, it isn’t necessarily a good strategy to focus your attention on what’s around the next corner when there is plenty to be done in the present moment. Today’s most intelligent course of action is to take care of your current obligations, without getting distracted by anything else.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are ready to try something new because it’s apparent that sticking to your old plan won’t help you reach your goals. However, you’re still tempted to play it safe as your fear of failure encourages practicality. Nevertheless, you’ll do better today if you can overcome self-doubt and take a calculated risk. You could miss an important opportunity if you don’t seize the moment and give it your best shot.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are quite clever at dancing around a decision in order to get out of making a commitment. Nevertheless, concentrating your attention on a singular goal could be your best possible move today. Normally, you excel at keeping several options open so you can wait until the very last moment before picking one. However, the sooner you choose now, the better your chance of success in your endeavors.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The idea of being intimate with a special person may sound more attractive than actually doing it, because you might feel uncomfortable if you get too close to others today. It isn’t that you want to be isolated; you just need a bit more breathing room now. Maybe you’re not happy with your current situation and temporarily withdrawing is easier than confronting the truth. However, you can learn something significant about yourself by leaning into your fears instead of avoiding them.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you think that you’re moving through calm waters today, there’s still a large storm brewing on the horizon. Thankfully, you can prepare yourself so you won’t be caught off guard as the winds whip up and the seas grow rougher. Actually, you’re almost eager for an opportunity to show off your high level of competency. Ultimately, if you don’t become complacent, this growth experience can raise your profile and your self-confidence.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Normally you’re very focused and your ability to concentrate on the details helps you work efficiently. However, it could be more challenging today to bring your grandiose visions down to earth. You’re tired of having to be the one who is always practical and you want your imagination to lift you out of your current rut. Luckily, you can make magic now if you give yourself permission to be creative without worrying about the outcome.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re eager to discover new ways to enjoy yourself now with the non-conformist Aquarius Moon hanging out in your 5th House of Love and Creativity. Her indulgent semisquare to sensuous Venus makes it even harder to follow social etiquette. Nevertheless, you know that rude actions are unacceptable. There’s nothing wrong with seeking pleasure, but don’t overstate your needs or overstep the limits of good behavior.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be highly opinionated today so you need to be careful how you express yourself. It’s easy to put so much intensity into your words that others mistake your passion for anger. Fortunately, concentrating on the bigger picture frees you from any perceived negativity. Allowing for a variety of personal preferences now connects you with a more universal vision that inspires those around you.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You appear so clever today that you can amaze your friends and co-workers with your inspirational thoughts. But turning your visions into something tangible is quite challenging, especially if you’re off to the next great idea the moment after you share the previous one. Proving your intelligence could backfire now if you don’t take sufficient time to apply your common sense to your actions.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have an easygoing attitude about your obligations today, but you’re not likely as disengaged as you appear. It’s just that you are trying to balance your ambitions with more spiritual goals. You want some time to yourself for contemplation, which encourages you to be more sympathetic to other people’s needs, too. Ironically, this cooperative spirit enables you to accomplish even more in the long run, for it increases the good feelings between you and your associates.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are motivated to be productive, yet you also want to take time and enjoy the camaraderie between you and your workmates today. However, this is tricky territory, for the Moon in your sign adds subjectivity and makes it harder to maintain a healthy perspective. It’s tough to know where to draw the line between work and play. Ask someone you trust for advice, but make sure you heed the feedback you receive.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your dreams usually guide you better than the facts, but you need to be very careful before following your intuition today. Take time to corroborate your hunches with someone else because you can be certain that you know what’s happening, only to discover that you missed an important piece of information. Your imagination is still a significant source of inspiration; just remember to do a reality check before jumping to any conclusions.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 30th

Daily Cosmic Calendar

by Mark Lerner for Astrology.com

Be more creative with literary pursuits in the early hours – thanks to a Moon-Mercury 60-degree alliance (5:37AM PST). Mercury continues in its reversal in Sagittarius, but is still active today as it makes a frictional, 135-degree link to giant Jupiter (11:35AM PST) and an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with far-out Neptune (3:17PM PST). Of these two mercurial connections, the one to Jupiter is clearly the most challenging since it can equate with temporary snafus on the communication and transportation fronts. However, Mercury in league with psychic-imaginative Neptune can provide you with a slew of revelations. Meanwhile, the investment picture is turned on and glowing since the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Aquarius (4:24PM PST). From the positive perspective, this signals an opportunity to learn much more about how stock, bond, commodity and precious-metal markets work. In addition, with the Moon in conjunction with Vesta, it makes sense to focus attention on improving safety and security measures around your home and business. Communicate with key female figures or soul-sisters in your circle of relatives, associates and friends. Gear up for a rousing and intense start of December 2011 since the Moon unites with dream-weaver Neptune tomorrow morning followed shortly thereafter by the annual Venus union with Pluto. You need to be very alert, clear-minded and down-to-earth as November morphs into December.

Divining Love (Snow Moon)

Divining Love

(Snow Moon)
 
This spell utilizes the ancient art of dowsing to answer your questions regarding love.
 
You will need two seventeen-inch lengths of wire and two five-inch hollow tubes. Copper wire works best with copper tubing as the holders. If nothing else, you can use metal coat hangers and straws.

Bend the wires into “L” shapes, with the long arm being twelve inches and the short arm five inches. The holders go around the short end. The wire should move freely around in the holder.

Hold the wire rods in each hand, outward from your waist, and take a deep breath in and out and say:

May the Goddess bless these divining rods as a true and clear oracle.
 
Now think of a question regarding love and state it aloud three times. The rods should start parallel to one another. As you ask your question, watch what the rods do. If they open up, it’s a positive answer to your question. If they cross one another, it’s a negative response to your question.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, November 27th

Although the emotionally reserved Capricorn Moon encourages common sense over passion, following our desires will likely bring satisfaction today. Our down-to-earth practicality is further emphasized by the presence of beautiful Venus in Capricorn; however, her propitious trine to bountiful Jupiter indulges us with pleasurable experiences. Nevertheless, we still may resist the good times if we think they will interfere with our potential success.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Remain upbeat about your contributions when pushing toward your goals whether you’re making plans to achieve a goal at work or striving to be noticed within your community. Thankfully, you should receive assistance from an important person now that friendly Venus is visiting your 10th House of Public Status. Go ahead and do your best work, but make certain to ask for the credit that you deserve. Although seeing tangible results may take a few days, you could be surprised at the outcome.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s always lovely to be appreciated, and today is especially sweet because you receive so much positive energy from Venus’ trine to optimistic Jupiter in your sign. Nevertheless, it isn’t always appropriate to overwhelm others with your exuberance. A touch of self-restraint can help you reach your goals. Don’t sprint to the finish line; it’s not as close as you think.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be very clear about what you want out of a relationship now, especially if you have been clarifying your needs all year long. The time is ripe to make something happen, and you could blow your chances if you wait too long. Maintain a positive attitude while sharing your feelings, even if you don’t know where the conversation is leading. But don’t let this opportunity pass without acting on what’s in your heart.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be emerging from a tough phase, yet you’re still able to rationalize what you want. However, many delicious feelings are bubbling up from your subconscious now and tempting you to set aside your objectivity. Hold on steady and keep your eyes on the current opportunities, for this wave should ultimately bring a positive transformation.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Beneficial Jupiter is visiting your 10th House of Public Success and its trine to pleasurable Venus in your 6th House of Work could resonate with your plan to accomplish a lot today. Unfortunately, you might feel like a lazy Lion with plenty of excuses to justify your unproductive nature. Remember, you don’t have to prove anything to anyone at all. You deserve a bit of downtime now, so take it while you have the chance.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not be happy at first with whatever happens today, but you may be willing to wait for satisfaction once you realize the potential pleasures that are available to you. Even if you try to fight against the changes, your resistance fades quickly once you sink beneath your noisy thoughts and into the less familiar non-verbal world of emotions. Ultimately, your feelings will steer you in the right direction now.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

This is a magical day to immerse yourself into your feelings without wasting any energy rationalizing what’s in your heart. Don’t be afraid to act on your intuition because the signals that are now coming from your subconscious are integrally connected with your truth. Only negativity stands between you and your success, so jump in and follow your positive instincts before you change your mind.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s not such a bad idea to temporarily set aside your personal interests now and concentrate on selfless acts of generosity. However, don’t spoil the moment by asking what’s in it for you. If you really need to know, then you’re missing the point entirely. Ultimately, if you stay focused on the highest expression of love, the emotional rewards will always circle back and touch your heart.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may attempt to hide your anger today because you really don’t want it to interfere with the general loveliness that’s floating around in your environment. Fortunately, with valuable Venus in your 2nd House of Income, you could feel as if everything you touch turns to gold. Just keep in mind your ability to work in service to others now is enough of a gift to make you happy.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Sensual Venus harmoniously trines happy-go-lucky Jupiter today, promising fun activities and empowering you to co-create new games. Unfortunately, you may not be able to escape your responsibilities just because the phone is ringing and good times are calling. Thankfully, you can still enjoy yourself by expressing your creative urges in a practical project.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be feeling so intense now that you don’t know how to say what you’re thinking without upsetting others. Unfortunately, keeping your thoughts to yourself isn’t a smart strategy either, since suppressed emotions will blast their way to the surface sooner or later. Expressing love and not fear can transform obstacles into positive learning experiences.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re eager to please others now with the Moon visiting your 11th House of Social Networking. You can be a wonderful friend, but you must be careful about only acknowledging the good news. The power of positive thinking can help you today, but you could take your optimism too far. Obsessing on the possible negative outcomes isn’t useful, but neither is burying significant issues without addressing them.

Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, November 27th

If you played the cosmic astro-zodiacal game in the right way yesterday, you should be in good shape for today’s somewhat easy-going agenda. The Moon in Capricorn remains the primary factor – encouraging you to make progress on the business and professional fronts. Vesta moving 45-degrees to Pluto (1:02AM PST) can jar you on emotional levels and make you worry about protecting your valuables, but later on you can tune into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration during the monthly Moon-Pluto union (5:27AM PST). This monthly lunar convergence with distant Pluto can prove troubling for many souls – if deep-seated repressions are stirring up underworld tensions. However, Pluto does have a higher component of purity and purpose. And if you know what you are doing, you may be able to avoid emotional turbulence and ride the crest of a wave of awesome willpower that is good for you, your family and friends. The best news of the day clocks in at 1:24PM PST when Venus in Capricorn makes a flowing trine in earth signs with Jupiter in Taurus. Take full advantage of this terrific blending of the two traditional benefic planets. Success in financial matters looks promising. Gains can be made across the board and an inspirational, 72-degree connection from Mercury to Chiron (9:41PM PST) is an added healing boost to your experiences.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, November 26th

If you are really tuned into the cosmic beat, this can be a very successful weekend — especially in living closer to your philosophy of life and making huge strides on the career horizon. Giving you an early boost are the monthly Moon-Mercury union in Sagittarius (2:04AM PST) and Venus entering Capricorn (4:37AM PST) until December 20. Yes, it’s true that Mercury is in reverse, but the Moon with Mercury is still something that can be encouraging for learning across the board. And Venus in Capricorn can imbue your professional plans with new magnetism and power. The Moon in Sagittarius begins a short void twilight zone at 4:07PM PST, and this uncertainty time-span lasts until 7:06PM PST when the Moon enters hard-driving Capricorn. Meanwhile, Venus – having just entered Capricorn – forms a dicey square with radical-change agent Uranus in Aries (6:28PM PST). This is akin to a neon light flashing for lovers – with a warning not to overdo a good thing and to strive toward greater sensitivity to avoid a breakdown in communication. Fortunately, the energy-field flips around shortly thereafter as Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with healing-master Chiron (7:36PM PST), the Moon unites with Venus (8:28PM PST) and forms a flowing trine to Jupiter (10:02PM PST). When the Moon harmonizes with both Venus and Jupiter, you definitely need to pay attention and extract every bit of happiness and exuberance from their encounters

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 25th

The desire for freedom is palpable today as the Sagittarius Solar Eclipse at 1:09 am EST motivates us to act on our beliefs. This special New Moon elicits quick reactions as it harmonizes with electric Uranus, but our responses may be overstated with a quincunx to opinionated Jupiter. Nevertheless, we’re eager to consider alternative solutions that we might otherwise reject, since we are ready to take a risk to break out of a boring rut.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are impatient to begin a new project today, but complications may arise before you even take your first step. Today’s Sagittarius Solar Eclipse in your 9th House of Big Ideas gives you the nod to go ahead, but demands on your time may prohibit you from actually proceeding. Don’t read the signals wrong; a blinking yellow light is very different from a red light. Look in all directions and if it’s safe, keep on going.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The philosophical Sagittarius Solar Eclipse encourages you to consider issues that don’t normally concern you. You’re excited about exploring exotic places and investigating new ideas now, and less concerned about being practical. However, you won’t have to travel far away to satisfy these desires. Learning about a different culture or studying a foreign language enables you to journey to amazing places within your mind.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Today’s Sagittarius Solar Eclipse falls in your 7th House of Partners, indicating your desire to improve a significant relationship by taking it in a new direction. No one is perfect, yet your current willingness to learn how to become a better version of yourself initiates real personal growth as you delve deeper into your own emotions. Rather than scattering your energy now, concentrate your attention on what matters most.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse emphasizes your 6th House of Health, reminding you that your wellness begins with simple lifestyle decisions. You can improve your diet by eliminating things that are not nourishing or just cutting back on unnecessarily rich foods. For now, it is smarter to make a small adjustment that lasts for a long time, rather than shaking up everything for a few days, only to settle back into an old, familiar habit.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can take the edge off your anxiety by engaging in competitive sports, either as a spectator or as a participant. You could even temporarily forget about your worries while you’re totally absorbed in the game of your choice now that today’s Sagittarius Solar Eclipse activates your 5th House of Fun and Games. Although strenuous physical activity will have more immediate positive results, nearly anything that allows you to be spontaneous is healthy.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The open-minded Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse illuminates your 4th House of Roots today. You may feel a strong yearning to sink into your past and attempt to recover a memory that has particular relevance now. But your thoughts might be so vague that you end up feeling frustrated rather than comforted. Focusing your intentions on the possibilities of the future is ultimately more constructive than nostalgically dreaming about the past.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Meandering philosophical conversations with close friends or siblings takes your mind off more serious problems today with an inspiring Sagittarius Solar Eclipse stimulating your 3rd House of Communication. However, these spirited conversations won’t necessarily lead to anything productive. However, verbal banter with a trusted friend can enrich your life now, giving you the impetus to establish goals and try to achieve them. Just remember, you will still have to put in the hard work to reach your destination.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may question your own abilities as the optimistic Sagittarius Solar Eclipse flip-flops the energy of your 2nd House of Self-Esteem. You might feel overconfident one moment and reach out too far, throwing you off balance. Establishing sensible goals is a healthy strategy to lift your spirits and motivate you to stretch yourself. But it’s smarter to take small successful steps rather than attempting giant ones that invite failure.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s New Moon Solar Eclipse in your outgoing sign sets an upbeat tone to the day. You’re enthused about doing something exciting, but it may be easier to conjure up a great idea than to turn it into something tangible today. Fortunately, you should be able to get what you need if you don’t assume that you deserve whatever you want. Practicing humility and exercising self-control can bring your goals within reach.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although today’s Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse falls in your 12th House of Endings, what happens next is more important than what already occurred. But don’t go rushing blindly into a new project yet; it’s crucial to have a sensible plan first. You don’t have to make life-altering changes; in fact, slowing down your progress gives you time to consider various alternatives before taking your next step.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re excited about your plans for the weeks ahead as the highly inspirational Sagittarius Solar Eclipse activates your 11th House of Groups. The idea of having fun with friends and family inspires you to engage in more social activities, but you could become so busy that you end up exhausted by the good times. If you find that you have overcommitted yourself, don’t blame your bad decisions on anyone else. Just cut back on your social schedule before it’s too late.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might be unable to let go of your thoughts about getting ahead today, even if you’re distracted by social or family events. The aspiring Sagittarius Solar Eclipse shakes up your 10th House of Career, revealing new ways to get what you want, even if you feel blocked in your professional development. But don’t mistake a new course of action for a shortcut. Even if the future looks bright, it’s still going to require hard work and determination to get there.

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, November 25th

If you feel you made it through the mine field of mental, emotional and physical stress during the last 72-hours with enormous courage and accomplishments, give yourself several rows of psychic gold and silver stars. Believe it or not, the universe is almost depleted of attack weaponry for the time being and leaves you with a lot of free time and space to sort out your next steps on terra firma. The Moon in Sagittarius is definitely courting you by dangling carrots in the form of fun, games, sports and outdoor adventures. Because the New Moon is behind you, there is an urge to push forward across the board despite the fact that Mercury is retrograde. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean Mercury is bad or negative. It simply means that Mercury is moving in counterpoint to the Sun’s direct motion. As such, Mercury is encouraging you to review what has happened – particularly in your business affairs, travels and correspondence – during the last few months, and come up with fixes, changes and improvements. If there is one last battle ground occurring today, it is likely to happen around the time that Mars parallels Jupiter (8:42PM PST). Both celestial bodies are at 10+ degrees north of the Celestial Equator and this can function like a zodiacal union where your optimistic mind-set (Jupiter) is energized (Mars) to full capacity. On the other hand, if anger and volatility (Mars) are floating around in your neck of the woods, instead of being successful (Jupiter) in your key fields of expertise, you could suffer a breakdown where pride and arrogance (negative side of Mars and Jupiter combined) force you to cry uncle and ask for forgiveness or a helping hand from dear ones.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 23

Stop, look and listen! The cosmos is a pressure-cooker right now and it’s relatively easy to experience a wave of anxiety and nervous tension. Early on today, you need to deal with two prominent solar encounters – the first being a square to Chiron (1:14AM PST) and the second being a trine to Uranus (2:15AM PST). They can combine to lift your spirits and give you several hours of revelations. Watch your dreams for clues about the future. Precognitive experiences often occur during the sleep state, but we fail to remember them to our own detriment later on. Your physical vitality is enhanced via a Mars-Pluto flowing trine in earth signs (6:08AM PST). Ride the style, fashion and elegance bandwagon for several hours during the monthly Moon-Juno union in Scorpio (10:22AM PST). This aspect can double as a cosmic agent that strengthens your emotional side. Strive for complete respect, harmony, peace and balance in affairs of the heart and every key relationship. The big news clocks in at 11:20PM PST when Mercury at 21 degrees of Sagittarius begins a three-week retrograde cycle that lasts until December 13. All Mercury themes – communication and transportation, language and learning skills, business and trade, health and medicine, dexterity, agility and the five senses, magic tricks and sleight-of-hand abilities, clever behavior, elusive tactics and theft – are emphasized tonight and over the next 24 to 48 hours. Be more cautious and careful concerning legal matters, signings and long-term commitments. As the dark-of-the-moon vibes also become potent – since the next New Moon (a Partial Solar Eclipse) happens tomorrow night – there are additional reasons to be a Rock of Gibraltar while millions of souls move along aimlessly. Giving you a late-night boost – on the business and investment fronts – is an inspirational, 72-degree link from Vesta to Jupiter (11:41PM PST).

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, November 21st

Remaining pleasant may be a challenge for us early in the day when the socially conscious Libra Moon runs into a square with unforgiving Pluto. We might feel as if someone is trying to take advantage of our easygoing behavior. Meanwhile, we gradually begin to withdraw emotionally as vulnerable Venus forms a cooperative sextile with austere Saturn. Instead of seeking immediate gratification, we’re willing to wait for more lasting satisfaction.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be very appreciative of a long-time partner or a steadfast friend who continues to stand by you through good times and bad. You’re inclined now to tell him or her how you feel, but you may be so insistent about expressing your feelings that your sentiment sounds forced. Don’t try so hard; a simple statement of gratitude will be more easily received and is worth more than one that rambles on endlessly.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can find peace of mind during this busy period without getting too distracted by all your big ideas. However, you still could overdo something that makes you feel good. Thankfully, reacting impulsively isn’t your style, especially as your key planet Venus moves toward a sextile with sensible Saturn, reminding you that all actions have consequences. Practicing moderation now is your key to happiness.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling self-assured these days, but overconfidence at the wrong time can land you in a pile of trouble. Don’t be so eager to please just because you want to demonstrate how nice you are to a friend. Instead of getting yourself into a situation that requires a lot of your time and effort today, limit your involvement before you’re in over your head. It’s easier to maintain autonomy now than to untangle yourself from an emotional drama later on.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You typically don’t like it when people disagree for no apparent reason. Being a peacemaker is one way to smooth over ruffled feathers, but it may sound easier than it actually is today. You could have the very best of intentions, but others might think you’re trying to control them. Instead of changing anyone else’s behavior, shift your own attitude. Let people know how you feel and then back away to give them time to process their reactions.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be a bit conflicted today because you cannot make up your mind. You don’t want others to perceive you as being wishy-washy, so it’s easier to withdraw than to try and explain your uncertainty. If you share your current dilemma, your friends might push you to hurry up and decide. Take your time and don’t say anything until you’ve arrived at your own conclusions.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may try to limit your activities today, you could be lured into participating in someone else’s agenda. You might ignore another person’s idea at first, but as the plan begins to sound better, you become more tempted to jump on board. Even if you resonate with an innovative concept now, it’s still smarter to say no to another obligation. Keep your feet on the ground and focus on your priorities until you have more free time to help out others without compromising your own goals.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be quieter than usual today, yet others can still appreciate what you have to offer now that the Moon is in your easygoing sign. They seem to understand that your strengths are being energized by a spiritual belief that you can’t put into words. Thankfully, you don’t have to say much; all you have to do is maintain integrity between your actions and your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Secrets may have you slipping back into your past in order to find the inspiration you need to handle current events. Fortunately, you’re a champion at connecting with life’s subtle mysteries and you’re willing to dig as deep as necessary now to uncover the answers. Keep in mind that your realizations may be so complex that you cannot explain them to anyone else, anyhow. However, there’s no pressure to share your discoveries until you’re ready.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Talking about moderation is one thing, but following through with sensible behavior can often be a challenge for you. Although your key planet Jupiter has recently bestowed his extravagance on you, it’s strict Saturn’s turn today, reminding you to tighten your belt and show some common sense. Then again, the radiant Sun’s shift into your sign tomorrow suggests that your self-restraint may not be long-lived.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s not easy to stay on task with waves of optimism giving you new hope. However, the idea of getting something for nothing isn’t as appealing now, making you more willing to work for what you want. Fortunately, this mature strategy will likely bring you the rewards you seek as long as you stay focused on your goals and continue steadily on your path without taking any impulsive shortcuts.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This could be your day of reckoning if you are overextended. Unfortunately, you may have reached too far by spending too much energy on a project or buying an expensive item that you really didn’t need. Past actions catch up with you now as you struggle to regain firm footing. Even if you don’t immediately see positive results from today’s efforts, rest assured that your persistence will eventually have the effect you desire.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re tempted to act in an overly demanding manner today because you may believe that you deserve more than you have. Unfortunately, the squeaky wheel doesn’t always get the grease and you could receive a greater payoff by just being patient, instead. Value-conscious Venus in your 10th House of Status forms a supportive sextile with calculating Saturn, giving you strength of purpose and the ability to wait for sweet satisfaction.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, November 21st

Here is your last full day of Solar Scorpio. Have you been a successful, amateur detective during the previous four weeks – ferreting out long-lost secrets on the family front? Have you learned more about your hidden motives, deep-seated passions, and the way you tick psychologically? Tomorrow morning brings in the fiery, upbeat Solar Sagittarius 30-day cycle. Before you can kick up your heels under the sunny vibes of the ninth sign of the zodiac on Tuesday, deal with today’s reality – which may not be that easy to accomplish as Mars in Virgo forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Pallas in Aquarius (11:11AM PST). Problem-solving, strategy sessions and research may be more a hard task than a flowing experience. However, Virgo and Aquarius are the two signs of service – individual service via Virgo (particularly in the fields of health, medicine and education) and group service via Aquarius (particularly in the fields of science, the multi-media, and global, humanitarian causes). By helping others achieve their goals, you help yourself in the greater scheme of human evolution. Psychic storm warnings are still posted this evening as the Moon is contra-parallel Jupiter (9:46PM PST), Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree contact with Juno (11:09PM PST), and the Moon is contra-parallel Mars (11:59PM PST). Pushing the anger or panic button in despair is not the answer to having better relations with a dear one. Patience and sensitivity are the right approaches.

NASA Image of the Day for November 20th

Montage

This montage of New Horizons images shows Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, and were taken during the spacecraft’s Jupiter flyby in early 2007. The image of Jupiter is an infrared color composite taken by the spacecraft’s near-infrared imaging spectrometer, the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array. The infrared wavelengths used highlight variations in the altitude of the Jovian cloud tops, with blue denoting high-altitude clouds and hazes, and red indicating deeper clouds. The prominent bluish-white oval is the Great Red Spot. The observation was made at a solar phase angle of 75 degrees but has been projected onto a crescent to remove distortion caused by Jupiter’s rotation during the scan. The image of Io is an approximately true-color composite taken by the panchromatic Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager with color information provided by the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera. The image shows a major eruption in progress on Io’s night side, at the northern volcano Tvashtar. Incandescent lava glows red beneath a volcanic plume, whose uppermost portions are illuminated by sunlight. The plume appears blue due to scattering of light by small particles within it.

This montage originally appeared on the cover of the Oct. 12, 2007, issue of Science magazine.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for Nov. 18th – 20th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

A Different Kind of Love

November 18 – 20

Serious fun is on the menu for Friday night, even though the Moon’s move into methodical Virgo — a sign more associated with work than play — occurs earlier in the afternoon. The Virgo Moon’s practicality and focus on details can burst romantic bubbles and ground high hopes. However, the analytical abilities of Virgo may also be applied to untangle knots of misunderstanding and correct unhealthy habits. But on Friday night the Moon’s harmonious trine with jolly and generous Jupiter, followed by a conjunction with passionate Mars, can provide the motivation and enthusiasm to learn a new dance or cook a complex dinner, all in the name of pleasure. Demonstrating efficiency or cultivating skills may not sound sexy, but competence is a very desirable and useful quality now.

Saturday is perfect for doing tasks with the one you love to combine productivity and closeness. Sunday’s mood is extremely different with the steamy Scorpio Sun’s strong square to fantasy-loving Neptune. This dreamy and spiritual aspect and the Moon’s shift into lovely Libra in the afternoon provide a delightful atmosphere for romance. Use imagination to create a unique environment or a special experience that’s a getaway from ordinary reality, and a ticket to a dreamland where worries melt away and two hearts can beat as one.
