Crystals: Haematite, jet, lodestone, obsidian, smoky quartz
Incense: Aconite, cypress, patchouli
Tree: Blackthorn, yew
Herbs: Aspen, bistort, comfrey, horsetail, Solomon’s seal

Astrological rulership: Capricorn (co-ruler of Aquarius)

Saturday, the day of Saturn, is potent for spells concerned with unfinished business, with endings that lead to beginnings. It is a good day for all slow-moving matters and for accepting limitations, as well as for overcoming obstacles that are long-standing or need careful handling. It can also be used for lifting depression or doubts, meditation, long-term psychic protection, locating lost objects (as well as animals and people) and regaining self-control over bad habits or emotions. Saturn can be used to slow down the outward flow of money and to encourage those who owe you favours or money to repay.He will help banish pain and illness and bring acceptance of what cannot be changed. Saturn is in sense the shadow side of Jupiter — in other words, the reality factor. He represents the constraints of fate, time and space but can also turn challenge into opportunity if you are prepared to work hard and persevere.

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, October 21st

There are a couple of challenges today, but not as many as will appear in the coming days and once the Sun shifts into Scorpio on Sunday October 23. Consider today a kind of appetizer for the main course to be served during the next ten days to follow. A Mercury-Mars contra-parallel (12:51AM PDT) combines with the Moon in Leo uniting with the red planet Mars (1:13PM PDT) to definitely add several units to the volatility index. Psychic storm warnings are posted and need to be watched – especially on the emotional front. Fortunately, the Moon parallels ebullient Jupiter (5:10AM PDT) while Ceres makes an inspirational, productivity-enhancing, 72-degree link with Pluto (6:38AM PDT), and the Sun forms a revelatory, flowing trine in air signs with Neptune (4:58PM PDT). Thus, as a whole and hoping that the two Mars-oriented sky patterns remain carefully cloistered away in the shadows, you can make some well-needed progress across the board today. Even a Venus-Mars contra-parallel (4:28PM PDT) may be able to assist you in balancing your feminine and masculine sides more effectively. Enjoy a night of entertainment or invite friends over for an impromptu party.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 20th

We’re encouraged to express ourselves with flair as the Moon dances into dramatic Leo at 6:05 am EDT. Her trine to rebellious Uranus makes us less concerned with what others think about our wild behavior. The Moon’s square to overblown Jupiter pumps us up with self-confidence even further. However, an otherworldly Venus-Pluto septile can throw us an emotional curve ball, while an unsettling Sun-Uranus septile adds even more surprises to the mix.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have an excess of physical energy today, but you could squander your reserves if you aren’t careful. Wasting your time on something unimportant can be draining, but fortunately it won’t likely have a lasting negative impact. Nevertheless, you would be wise to work smarter rather than harder in order to maximize the opportunities that come your way.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not fully understand all the dynamics that are impacting your family relationships today as the Moon enters your 4th House of Domestic Conditions. However, you can feel the tension increasing so you know something is brewing. Don’t get discouraged by your lack of direction. Maintaining your established course could be difficult now, yet being patient is still your best strategy until clarity returns.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be so distracted by the array of tasks you need to complete today that you can’t figure out where to begin. It seems that as soon as you make a specific plan, something happens that requires you to reconsider your previous choice. Frustration can set in when certainty is replaced by self-doubt again and again. You could believe that an absolute answer will solve everything now, but if possible, it’s smarter to hold off making a final decision until next week.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon enters your 2nd House of Personal Resources today, encouraging you to pay attention to managing what you currently have, rather than trying to accumulate more. Although it’s time to build on what you have already started, muddled motives could detract from your efficiency now. Don’t bother attempting to justify your actions because your explanations will just grow increasingly convoluted. Keep things as simple as you can and try to finish whatever you begin.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Everyone seems to believe that your feelings are transparent today as the Moon returns to your sign. However, chances are that no one truly knows what you need, even if others try to convince you that they do. Unfortunately, your emotions can get in the way of your words, so you might not be very effective when you try to explain what you want. Tone down your expectations and practice flexibility; asking for less could actually bring you more than you think.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon squares extroverted Jupiter today from your 12th House of Secrets, creating a stress between your desire to connect with others and your need to be alone. It’s challenging to share exactly what you want now because even the act of communicating conflicts with your reclusive yearnings. Instead of trying to change the current situation, just observe your emotional reactions to what’s happening. Living with the paradox for a few days builds character and won’t be as difficult as it sounds.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have wonderful friends who are eager to play with you today. However, you may grow annoyed with others if they are too distracting because you have responsibilities to fulfill. Don’t take yourself so seriously now; no one will fault you for taking some time to enjoy yourself as long as you return to your obligations later in the day.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your planet Pluto falls under the beautiful spell of alluring Venus today, attracting you to the idea of experiencing sensual pleasure. Nevertheless, your thoughts — however exquisite they may be — are not grounded in experience now, so it’s not wise to act on these current desires. Don’t expect someone out of the blue to deliver your fantasies. Just enjoy your dreams for what they are, without needing to make them real.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have been contemplating the big picture lately — something you do quite well — yet now it’s time to put your grand plan into motion. Fortunately, courageous Mars and the Moon are both visiting your adventurous 9th house today, motivating you to accomplish your goals. You are in a dynamic period of growth, so don’t wait for a better time to initiate action.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Powerful Pluto in your 1st House of Personality receives a nod of approval from valuable Venus today, encouraging you to pursue pleasure or material wealth. You may not understand the intensity of your current ambition, but this is not the time for analysis. Push steadily toward your goals because you have the necessary inner resolve to overcome most obstacles now. Set your mind on your destination and then don’t let anything or anyone distract you.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A close friend or ally may appear to turn against you today as the fiery Leo Moon marches into your 7th House of Others. Even a casual conversation could become argumentative now because combative Mars is stirring up trouble in this relationship house. Fortunately, you should be able to avoid a conflict if you remember that diplomacy is smarter than outright conflict. Negotiating a peaceful solution is better than trying to sidestep the subject, even if it’s uncomfortable at first.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you could face a confrontation at work today, you might not be able to get to the source of the squabble. Your interactions with coworkers aren’t as simple as they seem on the surface, for unspoken feelings can make communication awkward. Thankfully, you can reduce the emotional charge on an unpleasant situation by taking the higher road and considering the larger picture, instead of only focusing on what’s in it for you.

Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, October 20th

This day starts under a void lunar cycle in emotion-laden Cancer. Before the Moon enters fiery Leo (3:07AM PDT), there will be a Moon-Mars parallel (2:45AM PDT). Any parallel by the Moon is short-lived because the Moon is the fastest moving body relative to the Earth. However, even though a Moon-Mars connection quickly dissipates, when it is happening there can be a lot of intensity – particularly if you happen to make a reckless move or act too egocentrically. Once the Moon is transiting in Leo, it is always helpful to come from the heart in all vital discussions. Being altruistic and generous is the key to being happy as the lunar orb moves through this fifth sign of the zodiac. Trying to manipulate others or lord it over them by claiming a divine right of kings and queens is a total no-no. Inspirations are flying fast as the Moon trines Uranus (6:05AM PDT). Hitting the high-tech, computer and electronics trail is once again back in style. This Moon-Uranus rapport is a key motivating aspect of the day and as long as you don’t overdo a good thing or become super-obstinate during the Moon’s square to Jupiter in plodding Taurus (2:38PM PDT), you should be in good shape for a fun-loving evening.

Cosmic Calendar for October 18th

The good news right now is that there is less intensity happening in the psychic atmosphere today than yesterday. However, some of the havoc created on Monday – via the Mars-Uranus and Mercury-Jupiter clashes – still remains in effect. Meanwhile, the Moon in Cancer is your celestial reminder to deal with residential chores like making the kitchen and bath areas shine again, sprucing up the living room or conducting major clean-up campaigns. Cooking and baking are highlighted. Experimenting with soups, chowders and seafood dishes hits the spot. After the Moon creates some consternation by opposing Pluto (4:35AM PDT), the lunar orb is a favorable influence by forming a supportive, 60-degree alliance with giant Jupiter (7:33AM PDT), and making flowing trines to Mercury (10:31AM PDT) and Venus (6:01PM PDT). The major challenging planetary conflict comes from Mars forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Ceres (12:11PM PDT). Be extra sensitive and kind to maternal figures, children and pets. Becoming angry over a trifle is taboo. A wave of nostalgia can easily rise to the surface tonight under the Cancer Moon vibrations which often summon the past and historical events with ease. A Mercury-Venus parallel (9:57PM PDT) can also be a signal that all is well on the friendship and romantic fronts since both of these celestial bodies are in passion-centered Scorpio.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, October 17th

For the first day of a workweek in October, this is not an ideal situation. There is an illusion that all is well, and this is coming from a superlative, flowing trine in air signs from the Moon in Gemini to the Sun in Libra (6:38AM PDT). Any lunar-solar combination like this is favorable in a general sort of way, but it is what precedes it and follows it which is alarming. At 4:09AM PDT, the red planet Mars makes a caustic, 135-degree link to revolutionary Uranus. The most explosive planetary pair in astrology is Mars-Uranus. Whenever they enter into a challenging geometrical configuration, sparks can definitely fly. Strive to create serenity throughout your aura for several hours before and after this sky pattern is exact. Meanwhile, Mercury makes its annual opposition to Jupiter (11:56AM PDT) – linking Scorpio to Taurus. In traditional astrology, Mercury and Jupiter rule the four mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. As such, these two planets have a lot to do with the realms of communication and transportation. When Mercury opposes Jupiter, there can be breakdowns, snafus, and upheavals in these areas of activity within humanity. Of course, any opposition can still rise to the occasion as a source of mental expansion and enlightenment, but in the modern world and in terms of millions of people going to jobs and traveling on busy highways, any Mercury-Jupiter polarity needs to be monitored with care. A void lunar cycle develops at 3:19PM PDT and continues until 6:39PM PDT when the Moon enters Cancer – the sign of its natural abode. After 6:39PM PDT, home and family matters tend to trump everything else.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 14th

The simplistic Taurus Moon lures us into believing that everything important can be perceived with our five main senses. But an irritating quincunx from cerebral Mercury to erratic Uranus interferes with this bucolic ideal as it zaps us with radical ideas we don’t fully understand. Although we are distracted by inexplicable thoughts, a tense opposition from sensual Venus to indulgent Jupiter pulls us back into the physical world of pleasure.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t quite ready to party because of too many lingering responsibilities, but you cannot help fantasizing about all the pleasures you would rather be experiencing today. Unfortunately, your daydreams could get in the way of what you need to accomplish. Keep in mind that you won’t really be able to enjoy yourself if your mind is on work, so you might as well stay focused and have fun later.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be driven by your desires today or, on the other extreme, you could just feel plain lazy. Either way, with luxurious Venus opposing indulgent Jupiter, you might grow stubborn if you believe you know an easier way to get a job done. Even if you see the benefits of someone else’s plan, you prefer to do things your way now. However, you would be wise to acquiesce on trivial matters and save your resistance for something that’s more important.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could make a big show of supporting a co-worker’s plan while hiding your real concerns from everyone else because you don’t want to be perceived as being the negative one. The truth is that you keep changing your mind now, making you unsure of what you really think. Be careful, for others will see through your performance if you’re overly dramatic. Ultimately, your best strategy is to stay under the radar today, without bringing unnecessary attention to your position.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might be overly effusive today when expressing your feelings to someone you really like. Naturally, you’ll need to feel safe enough to go out on a limb, but optimistic Jupiter in your social 11th house will give you the necessary boost of confidence. Unfortunately, your words could betray your message if they are misinterpreted. Being direct and to the point should minimize the possibility of any misunderstanding.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may receive professional recognition today or, at least, acknowledgment for a job well done. Ironically, rather than feeling good about your accomplishment, you could waste energy worrying about whether or not you really deserve the positive feedback. Self-doubt will only sap your productivity; graciously accept the support you receive from others now and save your questioning for another day.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are willing to turn on the charm and play the game today if you think that it will get you what you want. But your self-confidence can lead to trouble, prompting you to say more than is necessary as loquacious Mercury aspects irrepressible Uranus. Unfortunately, your message can become muddled and your desires left unsatisfied unless you maintain a clear and logical approach in your interactions with others.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Keep your money in your pocket today because your extravagant taste can land you in financial trouble if you see something that you think you must have. With opulent Jupiter opposing stylish Venus in your 2nd House of Possessions, your eye for beauty is keen now. Unfortunately, you may not take the time to consider the true value of what you’re buying. Think about what you really need rather than what you want in the spur of the moment.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s tempting to look at the sunny side of a partnership today, even if long shadows are cast by emotional baggage. Joyful Jupiter in your 7th House of Relationships encourages you to shine your light so brightly that the shadows disappear along with your negativity. However, the underlying issues — even if they aren’t visible — can continue to feed the tension. Find the courage to face the dark; it’s not as scary as you think.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel like partying today and believe that you’re willing to pay the price for skipping out on your responsibilities. After all, you might reason that you can always finish up your work later. Unfortunately, you’ve probably left too much until the last minute already, making it tough to justify an early exit from work. The potential for fun won’t disappear as fast as you think; slow down and do the right thing because you’ll be able to enjoy yourself even more later on without any guilt.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Sweet Venus’ presence in your social 11th house indicates that your friends can bring you great pleasure now if you’re willing to let go of your own agenda. You may secretly imagine that you are running the show, but these unexpressed wishes shouldn’t impede your fun today. Letting your peers take the lead will work in your favor as long as you don’t give all of your power away. Take full responsibility for knowing when to say no.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Receiving praise on the job or from someone in your community can instill you with confidence, but positive feedback won’t be enough unless you also are fulfilled by what you do. Take time to think about your long-term goals and set yourself back on track if you have lost your way. Rewards that aren’t meaningful to you won’t necessarily add to the quality of your life or make you any happier. Following your bliss is your best route to success.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Nagging responsibilities are enough to put you in a bad mood; however, adding a fun activity to your calendar should make you feel better for a while. You are coming to the end of a very busy week and it only seems right that you should take time to relax and enjoy the pleasures of life. Just don’t go overboard; a bit of moderation will enable you to sustain the good times throughout the weekend.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for October 14th – 16th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Picking up Speed

October 14 – 16

Friday is perfect for life in the slow lane. The mood-setting Moon is in stable Taurus, which likes to find a comfortable situation and stay in it as long as possible. This sensual Earth sign, though, is especially hungry for love, companionship and pleasure on Friday when its amorous ruling planet Venus opposes Jupiter. This yummy alignment of attractive Venus and expansive Jupiter increases appetites for all the delicious things in life. Self-indulgence, though, is one risk, while over-estimating someone else is another. Stretching the boundaries of taste is appropriate as long as it doesn’t cost too much. Still, don’t forget about the powers of food and touch to tap into the best the Bull has to offer.

The pace changes considerably on Saturday when the Moon bounces into jittery Gemini. Energy is all over the place with a hundred ideas and activities calling for attention. Conversations flow freely in this chatty sign, but it’s also easy to talk without commitment or a profound depth of feeling. Friendliness and flirtatiousness are traits more associated with fickle Gemini than fidelity, so people tend to avoid serious issues to keep things light-hearted. Still, Gemini’s verbal ruling planet Mercury forms a supportive aspect with incisive Pluto on Sunday that makes deeper discussions more likely.

Your Daily Horoscopes for October 3rd

The Moon in outgoing Sagittarius inspires us to reach for loftier goals while a square between courageous Mars and confident Jupiter promotes spontaneous risk-taking. The Moon enters practical Capricorn at 4:15 am EDT, but we still may take on too much because our spirits are high and we have excess physical energy. Unfortunately, we cannot sustain our output unless we moderate our actions by striving for a greater level of self-awareness.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You cannot control your enthusiasm when your key planet Mars squares optimistic Jupiter today. Self-restraint can be a problem for you even on a good day, but now it’s essential to steer clear of trouble. Even if you aren’t trying to live dangerously, you could promise the Moon and stars, only to get stuck on the launch pad. Don’t ruin a real opportunity by taking on too much.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could inadvertently hurt someone’s feelings if you are overly critical today. You can imagine the possibilities, yet you also see the obstacles. This combination allows you to clearly point out where another person’s performance falls short of his or her potential. Don’t be so hard on everyone else; just keep doing whatever you can to lead by example.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be very busy today, but you would prefer to be relaxing. Your first impulse is to have fun now, yet you realize that the current temptations are testing you in many ways. Don’t give in to your inner child just because it sounds like a good idea in the moment; act maturely and do the responsible grown-up thing, instead. You’ll feel better about yourself if you do.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It isn’t easy to get a handle on your spending now with reckless Mars in your 2nd House of Money, especially if you’re thinking about purchasing something special. Consider what you really need before buying a luxury item that you cannot really afford. Unfortunately, an impulsive purchase may leave you feeling empty later on. Look beyond the material world now for a deeper fulfillment.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Naturally, you want others to see you at your best. However, you may take this concept a little too far today as irrepressible Mars in your 1st House of Appearances squares overindulgent Jupiter. Keep in mind that it will be more of a struggle if you don’t rein yourself in and underplay your position rather than grandstanding and trying to steal the spotlight. Don’t worry; you’ll have your time in the Sun on another day.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although your dreams may be unrealistic with unstoppable Mars in your 12th House of Fantasy, you aren’t ready to give up on them yet. In fact, you may be very enthusiastic and believe that your thinking is clear, but you might not be aware of how much your own desires are influencing you now. Talk to your allies and ask them for feedback; however, make sure you listen to their valuable input.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Benevolent Jupiter in your 8th House of Shared Resources is being prodded by assertive Mars today, bringing the financial aspects of a current relationship to light. Someone might offer you a gift, but he or she will likely show up at some point to collect on a debt or far-fetched promise. If you don’t want to face disappointment down the road, don’t blow your expectations out of proportion. Being rational now will make life easier later.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It seems like the positive energy is returning, but you’re not sure if it’s smart to trust your optimistic feelings. You may still be smarting from a recent brush with authority, yet new ideas could now turn a previous setback to your advantage. Don’t worry about winning; just doing your absolute best is good enough.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may go out of your way today to see both sides of a complex issue as your key planet Jupiter squares pushy Mars in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Unfortunately, this exercise in objectivity won’t necessarily bring you any closer to resolution. Thankfully, finding a solution now isn’t as important as you might think. Just getting all the hidden agendas out into the open is enough of a goal for one day.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can see new benefits of having friends who actually support you and your work, and you’re eager to pursue these relationships now to expand your professional ambitions. Nevertheless, it still might take you by surprise when someone goes out of his or her way to help you today, without seeking anything in return. Rather than resisting assistance and acting as if you are self-sufficient, graciously accept their help with a smile.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your apparent playfulness can push someone else’s buttons if he or she thinks you’re not carrying your fair share of the load today. Meanwhile, you may believe that you are doing more than your part. If others complain about your lack of effort, your first impulse might be to purposefully slow down in finishing your tasks. However, don’t let an ego battle cover up the underlying problem. Show courage and resolve to get to the bottom of the issue instead of just taking the easy way out.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Taking on a lot of tasks today is one way to impress others at first, but your scheme can fall apart quickly if you don’t complete enough of what you start. Fortunately, you can break down a large task into many smaller components now and then focus on each one separately. Although a big job may be overwhelming, it’s not so bad if you take it one piece at a time.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 1st

The Moon’s shift into optimistic Sagittarius at 12:41 am EDT sets an upbeat tone for the entire day. The fiery Sagittarius Moon forms an exciting Grand Trine with disruptive Uranus and impulsive Mars, re-energizing last week’s expressive Uranus-Mars trine. Although additional harmonious lunar aspects later in the day indicate that we can initiate successful action, a late-night Sun-Jupiter quincunx tempts us to take our innovative ideas too far.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are wise to exercise caution today because your overconfidence makes you susceptible to acting before you have all the facts. Your contagious exuberance will likely attract others who encourage your reckless behavior. Unfortunately, they won’t be so happy if they discover that you’ve led them down a dead-end street. Rather than taking charge, share the responsibility of leadership. You will flourish now if you champion a team approach.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Bountiful Jupiter in your sign may lead you down a garden path today because things look better than they are in reality. You can’t help but marvel at the impossible dreams that seem real enough to touch. It can actually be useful to explore the roads not taken within the safety of your mind. However, you might run into trouble if you attempt to make them come true. Your imagination can be your ally now if you remember to take care of your mundane responsibilities first.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel like a kite that is bouncing around in the breeze after being stuck on the ground for too long. But you might be a bit ungrounded today if you’re at the mercy of the changing winds. Fortunately, you can count on some steady currents to empower you to gain altitude. However, you must be careful since there are also strange weather patterns now that make it difficult to know what’s coming next. Ultimately, your smartest strategy is to stay flexible until smoother times return.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s nearly impossible for you to relax today because you are being pushed outside of your comfort zone. Even if you feign enthusiasm, you really want to know more details before you start something new. Unfortunately, you may not have time to do the research now, so you might as well bite the bullet and simply do the best you can. At worst, you’ll have an interesting experience while you push up against some of your own natural resistance.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Too much reliance on your social charms can put you in an awkward situation today where you end up losing control over what is said. Instead of trying to remain on center stage, it’s wiser to do whatever you can to get out of the spotlight. Having some anonymity now gives you more freedom to express yourself later. But if you push your own agenda too soon, your words could backfire on you and delay your progress.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your life grows more complicated as intellectual Mercury creates an irrational aspect with pompous Jupiter, cajoling you to exaggerate your point of view. Your current tendency to overextend your reach or say more than you intend can set you on a tricky path. Nevertheless, keep the faith; maintaining your vision of the big picture could be enough to keep you on track as you methodically move toward your goals.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are truly inspired today and believe that you can create something extraordinary. However, unexpected opportunities might lure you away from your own project so you can pursue alternative possibilities. Thankfully, your passion also attracts others to your new ideas. Just don’t push anyone too hard or you’ll quickly feel the resistance kick back at you.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you are inclined to start a project today, it may be smarter to wait a bit before initiating action. It’s not that you are heading off in a wrong direction; it’s just that your current optimism may encourage you to bite off more than you can chew. Instead of going on a spontaneous spending spree, get some rest. It’s smarter to build your reserves now so you’re ready for what’s to come.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you might be thinking about striking out on your own, this may not be the best course of action now. Today’s exuberant Sagittarius Moon blesses you with extra self-confidence and can send your enthusiasm over the top. However, your best ideas could lose their momentum if your execution is too hasty. Demonstrate your maturity by being patient; if you can wait a little longer, everything might fall into place according to your vision.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you could be very excited about what’s happening professionally, listen to your intuition now if it’s telling you that it’s not quite time yet to make your move. It will be much wiser for you to swing into action on Monday, once the Moon returns to your ambitious sign. Get busy taking care of loose ends and be certain that your strategy is realistic enough to execute.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your mind may not be focused on what’s going on at home today. Instead, you’re time traveling into the future and thinking about all the possible adventures in front of you. Unfortunately, it can get confusing as you weave your hopes and dreams into the current circumstances, making it difficult to tell them apart. Nevertheless, it’s healthy to take cues from your fantasies, for they empower you to turn your dreams into reality.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be confident that you can change a long-standing habit or make a necessary adjustment to your diet. However, you could be fooling yourself today by oversimplifying what it takes to improve your daily regimen. Don’t get discouraged by trying to accomplish too much all at once. Instead of running ahead without a plan, take one determined baby step at a time. Small incremental modifications have a much better chance of lasting into the future.

Daily Insight For September 21

Daily Insight

Wednesday, September 21, 2011
By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox

Feelings are on the surface, as the Moon continues through emotional Cancer. Business is likely to go smoothly, as long as you’re sensitive to others’ feelings. Cancer the Crab is highly resourceful, and it can be a good day to work on increasing your security and protecting your assets. The morning hours are especially favorable. The Moon forms a happy sextile with jovial Jupiter, bringing a mood of expansion and possibility. Dealing with real estate and financial matters is favorable. You’ll probably be in the mood to stay home this evening. Cook a nurturing meal, or reach out to your favorite family member. Later tonight the Moon makes a tense square to stern Saturn and some crankiness is possible. Better to pull back and find a way to give yourself the support you need. You may not be able to get what you want from others right now.

Lifescripts

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Sept. 16th

Today’s sensible Taurus Moon and Virgo Sun help us reduce the extraneous noise so we can consider what is most important to our survival and happiness. The Moon’s early-morning trine to Pluto in solid Capricorn strengthens our resolve to simplify our lives while her hook-up with jovial Jupiter encourages us to enjoy ourselves. Nevertheless, we can still sense a rising tide of excitement as we approach tomorrow’s electric Venus-Uranus opposition.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are so enthusiastic about all the possibilities today that it’s difficult to settle down. You might not notice the tension that’s building because a Mars-Neptune alignment is preventing you from seeing how the current circumstances will unfold. Nevertheless, the earthy Taurus Moon helps to filter out some of the unreliable information now, so it’s still safe to trust your senses in the immediate moment without trying to figure out what may happen next.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s visit to your bucolic sign normally helps you find the solace you seek. However, you may grow bored today and start thinking about different ways to add excitement into your life. But be careful, for once you open the floodgates, you might wish for the calmer times you left behind. Instead of destabilizing your life, just change your attitude. You don’t have to turn everything upside down to make your day a success.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be craving a little action and are eager to party even before you complete your work. However, you cannot just go off and play. If you’re frustrated, your annoyance might grow into resentment and stand in the way of your fun later on. Stop wasting your time; meet your obligations expediently, so you can have yourself a great time once everything’s done.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You probably realize how amazing your friends are now, especially those who stand up to defend you or rush to your side when you need their help. Ironically, they may not think that their behavior is out of the ordinary — and that’s what makes it so special. There’s no reason to turn your appreciation into too big of a deal today as long as you make certain that those you cherish know how much you appreciate them.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know exactly what you should be doing today, but your heart isn’t into it. You are bored with someone else’s agenda and don’t want to chase a pot of gold that isn’t at the end of your own rainbow. It’s healthy to focus on your personal goals now rather than anyone else’s. Just be sure that your heightened practicality doesn’t stand between you and an otherwise delightful time.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have an exciting vision about your future today without necessarily being too impractical about it. Although you can imagine an extraordinary outcome to your current situation, it’s not beyond your reach. Just be careful about stepping over the fine line between possibilities and fantasies. Believing in the impossible will help you stretch beyond your normal limits, but reaching your destination will still take advanced planning and hard work.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re tired of being patient because you know exactly what you want and see no logical reason to wait any longer before initiating action. Your sense of urgency may be fueled by someone who seems to be even more impulsive than you are today. Still, there’s something that’s holding you back. Don’t overanalyze your feelings. Just listen to your intuition; if you think that postponing your move makes sense, then that is exactly what you should do.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone may be enticing you to take a risk, but you’re not quite ready to jump. Still, the support you receive feels good and it does make you consider reaching for the stars. You are tempted to reveal your current negativity, yet doing so could jeopardize what you have already created. Of course you are free to respond however you see fit, but minimizing your concerns could ameliorate the tension, at least for now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s tempting to lower your expectations now so your co-workers don’t disappoint you with their lack of reliability. But you won’t likely reach your goals if you let someone off the hook too easily, so adopting a relaxed approach isn’t a smart tactic for long. Keep your aim high, remind others of their commitments and you won’t fall short of your target.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be a bit scattered at work today because you’re thinking of everything else you would rather be doing. But if your current activities aren’t bringing you pleasure, your thoughts could fly all over the place as you attempt to find your groove. Instead of trying to make progress on every front, just pick one and focus all of your attention on it. Limit your options now so you can expand your future possibilities later.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You wish you could be irresponsible today and avoid following through on your previous promises. You might make a judgment error that leads you to think that you’re more effective motivating others now rather than just meeting your obligations. In truth, the best leadership skill you could apply now is setting an example for everyone to follow. Don’t talk about what needs to happen; just do it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t want to admit that you’re feeling hopelessly optimistic today because you think it will reveal too much vulnerability on your part. However, you probably do believe that better times are just around the next corner. Meanwhile, your personal life may suffer because you are focusing on the future instead of dealing with an issue in the present. Bringing your attention back to the here and now might be challenging at first, but will make you happier in the long run.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 18th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Expect the Unexpected

September 16 – 18

The Moon’s presence in sensual Taurus is a signal to slow down and smell the roses this weekend. Enjoying the sweet pleasures of life with touch, scents, sounds and sights creates a lovely baseline of enjoyment that’s available with or without a partner. Taurus the Bull, though, can sometimes be stubborn and even a little cheap. But a lunar conjunction with indulgent Jupiter on Friday morning blesses us with a major dose of generosity and optimism. The easy way in which we can express our feelings is another source of delight inspired by the Moon’s cozy connection with brainy Mercury later in the day.

Sociable Venus faces unpredictable Uranus very early on Saturday morning, manifesting erratic behavior, romantic surprises and strange attractions throughout the weekend. Whatever ripples of weirdness roll through relationships should be smoothed over with a cooperative Sun-Moon trine on Saturday afternoon. However, late that night the foggy mists of Neptune overtake rational thought and reality with imagination and escapism. A lunar square to this dreamy planet dissolves remnants of reason with the intoxicating effects of romance, fantasy and/or alcohol and drugs. A vacation from reality can be delicious if long-term decisions are not based on a few hours of ecstasy.

The tone switches radically on Sunday with a lunar entry into airy Gemini serving up plenty of distractions. Yet in the midst of these breezy moments flirty Venus aligns in a harsh square with controlling Pluto, whipping up winds of secrecy or jealousy. Honestly addressing the darker issues of desire, power and trust is one of the healthiest ways to make the most of this cosmic energy.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Sept. 10th

We need to talk about old hurts and pains today as Mercury the Messenger tensely opposes Chiron the Wounded Healer. Sharing memories can be cathartic but may also add stress to a current situation. Meanwhile, the quirky Aquarius Moon hooks up with confusing Neptune, making it hard to know what’s true. Thankfully, the Moon enters imaginative Pisces at 3:26 pm EDT, putting a kinder and gentler spin on a day that may start out on the rough side.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be stymied today because you want to share what you’re feeling, but the current circumstances may require you to wait. Logically, you can understand why it’s wise to keep your emotions to yourself, yet you are tempted to bend the rules and say more than is necessary. Remember, it’s probably better for everyone involved if you don’t act impulsively at this time.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t prepared to say exactly what you are feeling today because you don’t want to add to the current drama. However, you’re still eager to demonstrate your love and are able to do so in a manner that won’t make anyone uncomfortable. Of course, taking a risk by telling someone about your heart’s desires can be rather scary, so don’t reveal too much too fast.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have plenty of words right at the tip of your tongue today, even if you’re talking about tender feelings that you don’t normally share. A combination of circumstances enables you to be secure now, so you are more willing than usual to take an emotional risk. Don’t waste too much time worrying about how others will respond. A discussion should unfold naturally as long as you’re not too dramatic in your delivery.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may want to step out of the spotlight today, but chances are you will still receive your fair share of love and admiration, anyway. But trying to hide is just one way to waste precious energy. Push beyond any embarrassment you feel about being the center of attention and graciously accept the positive vibrations that now come your way.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Creating emotional boundaries today gives you a safe place to retreat from the big world. Normally, you’re eager to put your feelings on the line, without even giving it a second thought. However, your emotions are raw now, and you’re not in the mood to share them with everyone. Keep in mind that you don’t need to justify your actions; it is always within your power to choose whether or not to talk about your inner process.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is keeping you busy analyzing your insecurities, but your logic can run into walls today as wounded Chiron enters the picture. However, your emotions may be integrated into your overall game plan now. Your friends are likely to respond warmly if you share what’s on your mind, but they may be reflecting your current eagerness for affection. Make the most of the positive Venus-Mars aspect by connecting with friends and family, but don’t expect too much in return.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may try to avoid being in the public eye today, yet the rewards from your previous work could follow you around and turn the spotlight on you anyway. Even if you’re being recognized and appreciated, you would be more comfortable if everyone was receiving acknowledgment and not just you. But rather than diverting the attention back on others, just say thank you while proudly enjoying the moment.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t in the mood to be the one who puts everything together today. Instead, you want to be pleasantly surprised when you discover that someone special has a dinner or a whole weekend planned especially for you. Although you crave adventure, romance and fun, spending your time waiting for the magic to happen isn’t a viable strategy. Don’t minimize your current choices; take responsibility for your half of the deal.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Feelings of discomfort or anxiety can catch you off guard today if your emotions become more intense than usual. Energetic Mars is in timid Cancer and your 8th House of Intimacy, preventing you from sharing your romantic insecurities. Don’t get hooked into believing that someone is going to rush in and sweep you off your feet. A healthy dose of realism can prevent your day from turning into a major disappointment.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have a friend or lover who is so shy that he or she won’t let you know what’s going on today. Don’t make any assumptions about how much others like you, for you might miscalculate your popularity now. Luckily, romantic Venus in your 7th House of Relationships is setting a sweet and sensual tone for the weekend. Go ahead, make the first move and see what happens.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are on edge now as your natural high-frequency energy is impeded by inconvenient feelings that are rising to the surface. Although sidestepping your emotions isn’t always a good idea, remaining rational makes more sense today so you can focus on practical issues. Anything that draws your mind to the present moment can also act as a shield against someone else’s drama.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Flirty Venus and sexy Mars are quite active today in your 5th House of Romance and your 7th House of Partners, increasing your desire to spend special time with someone you love. However, don’t increase the complexity by dreaming and scheming for the future. Instead, live as joyfully as you can in the here and now.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 6th

The judgmental Capricorn Moon reminds us that we have serious choices and that it’s wise to take the time to evaluate our alternatives. Whatever we say or don’t say has consequences and we try to get ahead of the curve by calculating what will happen next. The powerful early morning Moon-Pluto conjunction intensifies our feelings, but still we lean toward taking risks today as courageous Mars forms a creative quintile with overconfident Jupiter.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have good intentions, but you may have trouble keeping quiet today. You might even know that what you are about to say really should be left unspoken, but you could blurt it out anyway in a moment of excitement. Obviously, once your words are out in the open, you can’t take them back. Of course, honesty is the best policy, but remember to think before you speak and to always be kind in your delivery.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can perceive things that you would ordinarily miss on other days, prompting you to be a bit more intense now than usual. You’re sure that your conclusions are right and could easily take it upon yourself to help others see the future just as you do. But there is danger in assuming that there is one single outcome and you already know what it is. Be smart and entertain all possibilities before fixing on only one.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are spinning a lot of wheels in your head, but it’s probably wise to keep most of your thoughts to yourself today. Your ideas are likely quite good, but everyone will assume your thinking is scattered if you keep changing your plans, rather than just following through on your established agenda. Fortunately, you can still be more effective than anyone expects once you do make a final decision because you won’t let up until you reach your goal.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

If you get caught up in an emotional melodrama today, it would be wise to stand back from the situation in order to reassess your involvement. If you decide that it’s really not your business, withdrawing your energy is your safest move. However, if participating in this conflict is necessary, at least try to detach yourself from any specific outcome. For now, you will be more valuable if you use your head instead of your heart.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today you may become irritated at someone or something that doesn’t usually bother you, yet you can’t quite put your finger on the source of your annoyance. Someone may bring up a subject that stirs a deep issue you have been trying to avoid. Now it’s time to face the music. Thankfully, your previous angst will begin to dissipate if you can get your feelings out in the open.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be disappointed in yourself if you fall short of someone’s unrealistic expectations. However, you won’t likely sit around long enough to take the heat for something that’s beyond your control. You are too results-oriented now to waste time in self-pity or self-doubt. Figure out what went wrong, make a better plan and try again before you lose motivation.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s likely that you’ve already started to feel the emotional intensity waning; however, this doesn’t mean that your opinions will become any less extreme today. You could be unusually adamant about what you know to be true and might be uncharacteristically impatient with someone who attempts to change your mind. Fortunately, this is a chance to practice listening extra carefully to what others say without necessarily agreeing with any of their conclusions.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel overwhelmed as Mars in your 9th House of Future Vision quintiles excessive Jupiter, making it easy for you to take on too much. Additionally, the Sun’s fateful septile to Mars indicates that something unexpected can happen that could ultimately require you to change your travel schedule. Thankfully, you’re able to clear the air by saying what’s on your mind. Others will hear your message if you are honest and don’t attempt to blame anyone else for your current predicament.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can see through the excuses of those around you and your incisive observations could make them quite anxious today. Unfortunately, you could be correct in your assumptions yet still make matters worse by bringing up a touchy subject in an abrupt or inconsiderate manner. There’s no need to avoid an important discussion as long as you steer clear from any form of judgmental behavior. Your open-minded approach puts your associates at ease and also enables them to put aside their own self-righteousness.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be the proverbial go-to person because you usually seem to know what’s going to happen. You might have a strong grip on reality now, which does increase your sense of authority. Don’t mistakenly assume that your vision is the only answer just because you can navigate your way into the future. Accepting that multiple solutions are possible will earn you even more credibility with your workmates in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have your own objectives today, yet the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets suggests that you need to hide your plans from others. Perhaps you don’t want anyone to judge you before you put your new strategy in motion. Or maybe you just want to prove something, so you set out to do it alone. Keep in mind that collaborating with the right person can strengthen your plan and increase your effectiveness.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your workmates may be particularly critical of your performance, yet you can still learn from what they say today. Unfortunately, you might be closed off to their advice because of your own issues of self-esteem. However, you can see the intrinsic value of this new information once you acknowledge your insecurity. No competition is necessary because everyone can be a winner.

Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 2nd

Our desires are complicated by the power of today’s magnetic Scorpio Moon, and we may be fearful of expressing our needs if others don’t actively support our intensity. We feel driven to convince everyone that we’re right, no matter what the emotional cost happens to be now. However, our irrational worries are ameliorated by a happy Sun-Jupiter trine that rewards upbeat thinking, encourages generous behavior and spurs random acts of kindness.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be caught up in a complex swirl of energy as you attempt to untangle your attachments. Although you might try to be impartial in your approach to relationships today, you could have a tough decision to make now that could ultimately change the trajectory of your life. Fortunately, your clear intentions help you spin the current circumstances in a way that’s beneficial to all involved.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quite determined to avoid an unpleasant confrontation today because you cannot see how it will lead to anything positive. It’s easier for you to sit on the fence now and wait for resolution than to get caught up in making something happen. But inaction will only work for so long. Ultimately, you’ll feel better after the various opinions have been aired, even if there’s no apparent common ground yet. There’s no need to force a group consensus; it will come naturally on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury the Communicator might appear to be no match while standing up to transformative Pluto today; but your thoughts will endure, even if your priorities change. Holding onto your vision helps you face a difficult opponent. You may feel that someone is out to defeat you, but if you’re smart enough to steer clear of open conflict now, you should be able to continue toward your destination without further interference.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are challenged to show your feelings with Mars now back in your sign. Your life may seem overly intense now, and it feels like there’s too much going on, making it nearly impossible to know where to start. Although overcoming your hesitation is wise, don’t share everything at once. Choose your topics of discussion carefully; emphasizing those things you can be optimistic about should help you reach your goals.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be feeling a bit embarrassed today if you recently went out on a limb and said more than was necessary. However hopeful you are that others can step beyond their narrow-minded thinking to see the big picture, you still face an uphill battle. Attempts to demonstrate your intellectual superiority are bound to fail. Instead of making anyone else feel like a loser, figure out how everyone can win.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you realize the significance of your own core beliefs, it’s difficult when someone close to you has an entirely different set of assumptions. However, it’s a trap to engage in dialogue solely for the purpose of proving you are right. Once you acknowledge that intelligent people can hold opposing views, you will be free to work on self-improvement instead of wasting time trying to change another person’s mind.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Mercury’s current visit to playful Leo makes you more talkative and increases your mental activity, but you may need to fight for your right to speak your mind. Fortunately, your creative juices are flowing directly from the source now, making it easier to be proactive. Being considerate of other people’s feelings is admirable, but don’t allow your willingness to compromise stop you from doing what’s best for you.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your suspicious sign can raise issues of jealousy or possessiveness in relationships. You may think that someone is working against you behind your back, but it may just be your fears stirring up these fantasies. Don’t succumb to the negativity today; the choice is truly yours. Choosing self-improvement over everything else should be enough to put a positive spin on the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter forms an optimistic trine with the illuminating Sun today, lifting your spirits and raising your hopes. Luckily, your cheerful attitude can positively impact your immediate future, but self-doubt could also surface and temporarily interfere with a good day. Connect with your friends because they will help take your mind off of your problems and remind you of what’s most important.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may lock horns with a friend and find yourself in a standoff today, especially if you feel threatened by your own insecurity. But other people’s clever ideas are no match for your unrelenting persistence and strong sense of purpose. Although someone may anger you now, don’t get distracted from your ambitious goals. Your current optimism, mixed with intense concentration, is an unbeatable combination.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have the gift of clear vision and shouldn’t let anyone dismiss your dreams today. But things get tricky fast if someone questions your authority. Your energy could shift into a more aggressive mood if you attempt to defend yourself. Don’t bother trying to justify your position now. Just keep your eyes on the horizon and continue heading in that direction.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although everything seems quite intense, you are able to stay slightly detached from your emotions today. Luckily, your optimistic perspective on relationships enables you to avoid an unnecessary conflict with someone who fundamentally disagrees with your position. Remember that you don’t have to be right; you have absolutely nothing to prove now. Instead of stirring up trouble with a loved one, concentrate on realizing your dreams.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for September 2 – 4

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Romantic Adventures Await

September 2 – 4

The Moon’s presence in the emotionally intense water sign Scorpio on Friday is often associated with mystery, mistrust and magnetic passion. There’s a tendency to look for hidden motivations that can undermine confidence in others during this lunar transit. But the mood is more buoyant and hopeful than usual due to the Sun’s harmonious 120-degree trine to exuberant Jupiter. This expansive aspect encourages us to adopt optimistic attitudes and a willingness to take risks. Intimate moments don’t need to wait until after dark since there is the sizzling Scorpio Moon’s favorable alignment with loving Venus in the afternoon. Turning attraction into action is favored by a cozy lunar hook-up with sexy Mars at night, warming even the coldest of hearts.

On late Saturday afternoon the Moon’s shift into enthusiastic Sagittarius invites an even more adventurous mood, one that’s perfect for exploring unfamiliar territory. Attraction to new places and faces fulfills the desires of restless souls who feel stifled when sticking to old habits and predictable routines. The spiciness of foreign food, music and movies are especially appealing with a lunar aspect to unconventional Uranus.

Sunday’s mood is somewhat different as pragmatic Saturn enters the picture in the early evening, bringing safety, security, and serious matters into focus. Putting our feet back on the ground and restoring a sense of order is more appealing than playing the field now. Mild comments, though, can feel like stinging criticisms on Sunday night as the Moon forms a stressful square with vulnerable Venus. Blunt talk should be avoided completely for now; use gentler and more indirect forms of self-expression, instead.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Aug. 30

We can re-establish balance in our lives with the Moon’s shift into peaceful Libra at 2:25 pm EDT, especially after the recent emotional intensity we’ve experienced. We may feel another kick when the Moon opposes irrepressible Uranus and squares formidable Pluto later this evening. Thankfully, the harmonious and happy effects of a lovely trine between beautiful Venus and opulent Jupiter bless us with good vibrations throughout the day.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Other people may get on your nerves today if they won’t hurry up and make up their minds. You want answers now and can become frustrated when your impatience gets the best of you. Unfortunately, no one seems to share your sense of urgency. It’s easier once you admit that this problem is more about your needs than anyone else’s shortcomings. Ease up and give your friends a little room to be themselves.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may lack ambition today, even though you have specific chores that still must be finished. But you might not feel the need to jump in and take care of your duties before heading out for a little fun. Be careful about avoiding your obligations because, ironically, you may not be able to relax enough to enjoy yourself if you act irresponsibly.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are looking forward to an easygoing day with the Moon entering your 5th House of Fun and Games. However, there is so much happening in your life these days that you might not have enough time to explore new ways to entertain yourself. But don’t take out your frustration on others. Even if someone seems to be blocking your progress, it isn’t about anyone else’s actions. Changing your own attitude is the only way to overcome the resistance you feel today.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be unsure about how to handle a family matter today, but it’s certainly not because you don’t care. Rather, you’re so concerned with what’s happening that you see the pros and cons of more than one solution. You may even reach a point of frustration and walk away from the whole situation. Don’t be a quitter; it’s better to just make a choice now, even if you aren’t one hundred percent positive in your decision.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might want to play the role of the diplomat today, placing yourself between two other people who are in the middle of an ongoing disagreement. You’re able to listen to each version of the story and still remain neutral and levelheaded. Just remember that you aren’t the final arbiter of truth and justice. Instead, you’ll be most effective if you can simply help the conflicted parties find some common ground on which to stand.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not be as in touch with your feelings today as you were over the past few days when the Moon was visiting your sign. Thankfully, you are able to cool off emotionally now, enabling your critical thinking to lead you in a sensible direction. But don’t be overly judgmental and end up saying no to everything. Keep in mind that this isn’t about lowering your standards; rather, it’s about remaining open to unknown possibilities.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon returns to your sign today, possibly overwhelming you with powerful feelings. Thankfully, you should be able to keep working toward your goals if you’re able to integrate your emotions into what you’re doing. You may be sure enough about your ideas that you can easily go along with any group decision. Unfortunately, others may think that your willingness to yield is a sign of weakness. Don’t try to convince anyone that they are wrong. Keep your integrity intact and others will shift their assumptions over time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are willing to tell others how you feel, but may not have the need because you’re probably a lot more flexible today than you seem. However, you certainly don’t want to come across as weak or undecided, so you might just choose a side and then remain loyal to whatever you pick. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you are right; what’s more important now is that you’re following your bliss.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You would like to participate in some summer fun with your friends today because being in a group of like-minded people is nourishing to your soul. However, you might not be eager to relinquish your authority or let go of control. Ironically, everyone else may believe that you have things more together than you actually do. This is tricky territory; if you don’t show some vulnerability now, others may not be able to help you later on when you really need it.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It feels as if everyone expects you to be able to pull the right answers out of thin air today; however, you may not be willing to play their game. As interested as you are in being correct, you’re not as concerned with choosing one solution over another. What’s most critical now is to navigate by your own moral compass instead; if you do, you’ll find a way out of the current dilemma.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Everything seems to work well up to a point today. You’re willing to create a plan and then execute it, but you must be ready to set it aside if circumstances change and obstacles stand in your path. Instead of attempting to make a run for the finish line, take your time and handle any issues that pop up along the way. Slow and steady wins the race.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re interested in getting to the bottom of an emotional issue now that could be getting in the way of the intimacy you seek. Discussing your attractions and desires is not enough to deepen the bond, because it becomes harder to talk about your feelings when you’re scared of losing your rational perspective. Nevertheless, you’re safer today than you realize, so let your emotions wash over you without any fear of drowning.

New Moon Report for Aug. 30: Jupiter Retrograde

Jupiter Retrograde

Tuesday, August 30

The backward turn of visionary Jupiter opens a four-month window of opportunity for reviewing and revising belief systems and long-range plans. Answers come from within during this philosophical planet’s reversal period, giving more credibility to gut instincts. Patience is especially important when tackling major projects as making hasty decisions doesn’t work well with gigantic Jupiter’s presence in stabilizing Taurus.

General Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 29, 2011

A day of harmonious lunar aspects can soften the lingering intensity from yesterday’s Sun-Pluto trine, enabling us to let go of any deep feelings that recently came to the surface. Taking practical action is advised as we move toward tomorrow’s lovely trine between pleasurable Venus and auspicious Jupiter in stable Taurus. Meanwhile, the cautious Virgo Moon forms an easy trine with Jupiter, indicating a positive outcome to current actions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re not interested in seeing both sides of an argument today, especially if you believe that your perspective is the correct one. However, you will enjoy yourself more and won’t sacrifice anything in the process if you remain open to someone else’s opinion, too. There’s no need to be so firm in your convictions that you arouse unnecessary conflict. Just remember that even if you listen to what others have to say, you can still remain true to your beliefs.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This could be a highly creative day for you, but you have to take advantage of the opportunities now presented to you. Although you may have serious obligations to fulfill, don’t let them prevent you from having fun. Make use of your determination; once you set your mind on something today, there’s a very good chance you’ll actually be able to reach your goal. Accomplishments may not come easily, but fortunately, your concentration should pay off.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can be the champion of procrastination when an unpleasant task needs to be completed. Be careful now, for you may be able to get away with postponing a difficult conversation for another day or two. Just remember that the inevitable cannot be delayed forever. You’re better off jumping into the emotional abyss sooner than later. Take advantage of the current support you are receiving, for it could begin to fade tomorrow.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may encounter circumstances beyond your control that give you good reason to fret today. Thankfully, you should be able to manage the emotional tension and channel it to increase your productivity. A powerful person may be surprised by your ability to maintain your composure under fire and your willingness to do whatever is necessary to succeed. Don’t bother attempting to impress anyone; just make sure you do what you need to do to thrive in the current storm.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The unflappable strength of your convictions is your secret weapon today. Others may think that you’re overly eager to please, but actually you’re driven now by an overwhelming sense of practicality and you won’t let anyone pull you off course. Saving dramatic expressions of your feelings for another day heightens your efficiency. If negative emotions arise, it’s okay to temporarily hide your annoyance or anger until they pass.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are in your own earthy element today and eager to start a project or just have some fun. But even if you have an overall sense of well-being, you are still sensitive enough to feel a tempest brewing. Although you want to be safe and sound if a storm hits, there’s no reason to cancel your social activities or postpone any scheduled plans. Enjoy yourself for the next few days while you still can.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s a bit unsettling for you to feel so peaceful while others think you’re being ambivalent. However, you know when it’s wise to keep your emotions to yourself. Trust your hunches now; you’re probably more in touch with your intuition while the Moon is in your sign than you realize. But don’t worry if you say more than you intended because everything’s going to come out into the open soon enough. In the meantime, relax and enjoy the calm while it lasts.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your perceptions are quite keen today and it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to fool you. Still, you could have a difficult time focusing your attention on the present moment now because three planets in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals indicate that you are concentrating on the future. However, there aren’t any shortcuts and it will take time for you to reach your destination. Thankfully, your unrelenting determination may be just what you need to get you there.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are all about getting ahead at work today and can make a lot of progress if you put your mind to it. Fortunately, this is a great time to organize your life, and it’s wise to start by reprioritizing your goals. Even if you already know where you want to go, stopping to redefine your objectives is the most useful thing you can do right now. Once you make a decision about your new direction, sit with it for a few days before doing anything about it to make sure that your optimism doesn’t get the best of you.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are feeling good enough today that you are tempted to take on too much, but five planets in practical Earth signs make it more likely that you’ll be guided by your common sense. Ultimately, you’re able to strike a comfortable balance between your need to get things done in a timely manner and your desire to kick back and relax. Luckily, the planets are supporting you now, making it easy to succeed, no matter what you decide to do.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You seem to possess a magic bullet today that enables you to dissipate the stress as quickly as it continues to build. However, even though you can stay mellow, your problems won’t vanish just because you want them to go away. You’ll have to face the music sooner or later and, since you currently have excellent support from the cosmos, it might just as well be now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although your relationship troubles aren’t over, your positive attitude can go a long way today toward soothing a recent upset. Still, your pleasant disposition won’t diminish your emotional intensity. Others might see right through your calm veneer and understand how passionate you are about doing the right thing. Nevertheless, you must decide which path you’re going to follow, and that can stir up significant conflict along the way.
