Your Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 15

Our passions may run amok today as we express our emotions. Although sharing feelings of jealousy can be problematic, a potent Venus-Pluto opposition prompts us to tackle the issues head-on. Additionally, impulsive Mars joins compulsive Saturn, confronting us with the frustration of limitations. Meanwhile, the Moon slips into dramatic Leo Moon at 2:04 pm EDT and conjuncts messenger Mercury, indicating that communication can lead to resolution.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be struggling with relationship issues now that your key planet Mars runs into immovable Saturn in your 7th House of Partners. Although there are no quick solutions, circumstances push your awareness to new heights. You might need to work harder today, but at least you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Curb your impatience or you might drive everyone around you crazy. Instead of conquering new frontiers, try a cup of soothing herbal tea and a nice cool bath to relax.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A powerful emotional storm may be brewing today, yet it’s hard to put your finger on the source of the disturbance. But instead of obsessing over something you don’t understand, take care of your immediate responsibilities. Be as practical as possible, especially if there are deadlines looming. Although it’s difficult to prioritize which tasks are the most important, pay attention to the ones that are the most pressing in the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you are feeling overwhelmed by a relationship dilemma, you might seek respite by burying yourself in work. You may even take on additional obligations just so you don’t have to face your emotions. But escape isn’t the answer; gentle confrontation will achieve better results. Remember, it’s not necessary to overcome all obstacles today. Acknowledge what is holding you back now, even if you don’t try to resolve it until another day.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your current desire for excitement can put stress on a relationship. You might even feel as if the expectations of your partner are holding you back. You could become disappointed with yourself if you slip into denial because you don’t want to upset the status quo. Hiding your frustration does more harm than good. Thankfully, initiating action will be easier after Friday’s New Moon. Make a practical plan now that you can work with over the next several days.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The emotional heat can lift your spirits, but it will take more than a good time to set things right in your world. You are happier when you aren’t under so much stress, and the current intensity might be a bit too much. If you find yourself shutting down, try some prayer or meditation to help you turn fear into love. But don’t sit still; anything that helps you move your physical energy also calms your nerves.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have plenty of work to finish today before you can take some time for yourself. You might even question everything that you do, especially if professional activities are not resonating with your heart. You need some quiet time to contemplate your destiny. Don’t ignore your inner voice now; there is much to learn about yourself, even if you have already done a lot of personal transformational work.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is being challenged by Pluto, the planet of evolutionary change. You might have to express yourself at work by standing up for what you want. No one ever said that making your way in the world would be easy, especially if your personal views get mixed up with the truth. Don’t confuse your values with facts or others may question your motives. Take your intuition seriously but don’t lose your common sense.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You feel even more passionately and intensely now that your key planet Pluto is activating your desires. Meanwhile, your other ruling planet Mars runs into Saturn’s wall. However, your good intentions, unrelenting strength, and unflappable determination enable you to do profound magic and overcome all odds. Everyone benefits from your personal transformation.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The fires of pent-up resentment can burn today, allowing you to come across with more intensity than you feel. Someone might see you as a threat, so it’s wise to play it low key. On the other hand, your magnetism is electric so there may be pleasant fireworks in the love arena. Nevertheless, your current situation isn’t ideal. Rather than trying to resolve any discrepancies now, living within the paradox leads to happiness.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have a natural knack for knowing how hard to push forward and how much to hold back. It’s tricky to live by this innate common sense now, but it’s crucial to do so nonetheless. These are strange times that benefit from your strategic calculations rather than careless impulsive actions. Don’t be afraid to temporarily drop your anchor where you are so you won’t veer too far off course.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be uncomfortable with the intense passion you’re feeling today. Logically, you know you should suppress your wild desires because you’re already stretched to the maximum. Although fulfilling your responsibilities might slow you down now, they won’t hold you back for long. Set your sights high and don’t be afraid to work hard toward a special goal.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Unspoken desires might be linked to issues of power today. You have the urge to act impulsively, but your behavior is driven by deep compulsions now. Unfortunately, if you deny your emotions, they could escape somewhere else. But if you express them too casually, you may find yourself in over your head. Take it slowly. You have more time than you realize to share your heart.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 20

We attract more attention than we really want today since the lively Leo Moon encourages us to be bold and place our feelings out in the open. Although we know how important it is to make time for relaxation and enjoyment, an anxious alignment between optimistic Jupiter and realistic Saturn reminds us we must fulfill our responsibilities before taking off for the weekend. Relying on sound logic is more valuable now than pursuing our desires.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re probably feeling more positive about what you are doing with your life now, but you may be afraid of moving too fast and missing something important. You are enthused because it seems as if you just woke up from a deep sleep. However, rather than acting impulsively, it’s best to proceed slowly and deliberately. If you work yourself into a frenzy of activity today, you might have to retreat so that you don’t go over the edge.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Two facets of your personality clash today without a clear winner. Unfortunately, the more you try to hold on to your original plan, the harder it will be to resolve the current tension. Nevertheless, it’s challenging to decide how far to go in reviewing and revising your agenda. You could end up wasting precious resources by making the wrong choice. Although uncertainty doesn’t feel good, the best solutions will come on their own accord if you simply remain open to change.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can easily run circles around everyone else now because you are at the top of your game. Others may find you irresistible today but it’s crucial not to overplay your hand. If you appear too confident, you might attract the very same attention you were attempting to avoid. Your plans could backfire if you try too hard, so relax and let the day unfold at its own pace.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Opening your heart to a trustworthy companion today could make you a bit uncomfortable. As sensitive as you are, try not to get too caught up in the response you receive to your emotional disclosure. What anyone else thinks now isn’t as important as what you are feeling. Ultimately, you are better off once you share what’s on your mind, even if your trust isn’t immediately reciprocated. The awkward moment is temporary, but your relationship will improve for the long-term if you’re willing to take the risk.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon is back in your sign, encouraging you to let everyone know exactly what you want. However, expressing your needs could create problems if you seem too demanding. Concentrating on your desires prevents you from being fully present in a relationship, and you may not even notice if another person is already offering you love and support. Paradoxically, removing yourself from the spotlight is a more reliable path to satisfaction now, so focus on others rather than yourself.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

What someone doesn’t say now can grab your attention, as if the unspoken words have additional power because they are kept secret. Your fear of the unknown might create a simple misunderstanding, especially if you assume the worst. But don’t try to fast talk your way around an awkward situation. Instead of lingering on your uncertainty, just say what’s on your mind and then move on.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone comes through for you today, offering an enjoyable escape or a more meaningful chance to share what’s on your mind. If there’s nothing already on your social calendar, pick up the phone, call a few friends and see what kind of fun is possible. This can be a very satisfying day, but it may not amount to much unless you are willing to take responsibility to make something special happen.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might try to present yourself in a more official manner now that the demonstrative Leo Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Status. However, you could inadvertently forget about your position and share more of yourself today than you intend. Acting professionally is a smart idea since your job needs to come first at this time. Even though you shouldn’t leave your emotions completely out of the picture, you are not under any obligation to reveal your secrets to anyone else.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re encouraged by what’s happening now, but there is still missing information out there for you to uncover. Thankfully, you can enjoy your little hunt for critical data, but not if you’re just trying to amass personal power. Going into denial about the evidence is not a good idea, either; it’s just that the facts may not be as clear as you like. If you catch yourself drifting off into fantasyland, consciously bring yourself back to what’s real before you wander off too far.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might have to work harder than usual now because you believe that you must make a significant commitment to your career — especially if you are to reach your goals. However, your current fear of failure may just be a symptom of a deeper issue. Harsh self-judgment could stem from your uneasiness with your own ambitions. Be more accepting of what you have already accomplished instead of needlessly worrying about what’s next.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Tension in a partnership bubbles to the surface today, even if you didn’t see it coming. It’s quite likely that things are going well, yet there still may be difficult interactions as you express your ambiguity about your role in the relationship. Striving for clarity helps sweep away your clouds of uncertainty. Getting the conversational ball rolling will enable both parties to express their positions clearly so you can work toward establishing common ground.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might need to spend extra time in service to others now without receiving the recognition you deserve. This lack of acknowledgment could bring up old issues of low self-esteem. You don’t necessarily want to be in the spotlight, but you still may have resentment if someone else receives the applause. If this is an ongoing problem, it’s time to let those involved know. As long as your intentions are for the good of all, speak from your heart.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 22

We need to express our feelings today yet something is holding us back. The lively Leo Moon encourages us to be bold and to place our thoughts right out on the table for everyone to see. However, the shy Cancer Sun raises fears about being too vulnerable. We may be hesitant to say anything because we don’t want to attract any more attention than is necessary. Ultimately, an electrifying Moon-Uranus trine helps us break through the resistance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling more confident about who you are and what you are doing with your life now. It’s as if you are awakening from a deep sleep because someone suddenly switched the lights on. Instead of rushing ahead with your latest and greatest plan, continue to sift through your options. Nothing will be gained by overreacting. A brilliant idea today will be even better next week.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Two facets of your personality may clash today without a clear winner. The more you attempt to hold on to what you once thought true, the harder it will be to make the right move. You could waste precious energy if you try to force resolution to a current problem. Luckily, the best solutions will come on their own accord now if you remain open to change.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could dance circles around everyone else today because you feel as if you’re at the top of your game. Others may think that you’re even more charming than usual, yet it’s crucial not to overplay your hand now. Continue to pursue your goals, but don’t push too hard. Your best allies will show their support if you act with confidence, tempered with a bit of humility.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Opening your heart too quickly could make you a bit uncomfortable. As sensitive as you are, try not to get caught up in someone else’s reaction to your emotional disclosure. What others think is less important today than what you feel. You’re better off in the long run if you share your feelings now, whether or not your vulnerability is received with much enthusiasm.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Examine your own feelings today in order to discover how you can show someone exactly what you need. But, you could find yourself on dangerous ground if you’re motivated by a strictly selfish point of view. The Moon’s presence in your dramatic sign illuminates your inner process with a spotlight so bright that you might not even notice if someone is already offering you what you want. Shifting the focus and listening to others ultimately allows you to be more receptive to the rewards you seek.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Something that’s left unsaid today grabs your attention, as if the unspoken words have more power because they are kept secret. Your current fear of the unknown can create a simple misunderstanding, especially if you make a false assumption. You don’t have to fast-talk your way through an awkward moment; it’s OK to leave a mystery unexplored for now and just move on.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re looking for an enjoyable escape from work today and, thankfully, your friends come riding to your rescue. Although you are prepared to meet your obligations, you long for a more meaningful chance to share what’s on your mind. If you don’t have something already on your social calendar, get on the phone and make it happen. This can be a fulfilling day, but might not amount to much unless you are willing to co-create it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might share more of your emotional needs than you intend today due to an unexpected intense interaction at work or a heated discussion at home. However, you want to present yourself in a more professional way now that the expressive Leo Moon is occupying your 10th House of Public Status. You are wise to remember that your job needs to come first at this time. Although it’s fully acceptable to bring your feelings into a discussion, you don’t have to reveal everything going on in your heart. Talking things out in a rational manner demonstrates your strength of character.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be excited about what’s happening in a personal or business relationship, but it’s crucial that you don’t ignore important information now just so you can continue enjoying yourself. It’s not that you are leaning toward denial; it’s just that the data you have may not be as clear as you would prefer. If you find yourself drifting off into dreamland today, consciously bring yourself back to ground level and get to work.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are driven to work harder these days since you believe that you must make a significant commitment to your career, especially if you are to reach your goals. However, your fear of failure may be the symptom of a deeper issue. Critical self-judgment could stem from your uneasiness with your own ambitions. Be more appreciative of what you have already accomplished instead of worrying about what you’re going to do next.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A partnership creates stress that may bubble to the surface now, even if you didn’t notice the tension as it was building. Although things might be going along well, a difficult interaction today makes you feel unsure of your role in the relationship. Stick to the facts; if you drift off into philosophical realms of conjecture you’re sure to lose focus. Instead of trying to explain the past, concentrate your thoughts on the present moment.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might need to spend extra time doing things for others now without receiving the recognition you deserve. This lack of acknowledgment is likely to bring up old familiar issues. You don’t necessarily want the spotlight shining directly on you, but you still may be resentful if someone else receives the applause. Don’t be shy; let those responsible know if your feelings have been hurt. The atmosphere will lighten once you clear the air.

This is a weekend to celebrate with the evocative Moon’s presence in playful Leo on Friday and Saturday. Setting cares aside to open hearts and enjoy life without any selfish ambitions reduces tension and invites fun. The mood is more serious on Sunday with a lunar entry into earthy Virgo, encouraging a more grounded approach to relationships.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Clear your calendar for playtime this weekend with the Moon dancing in dramatic Leo and your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. You will know just how far to push it in your pursuit of pleasure, finding it easy to attract admirers without coming on too strong. Sunday, though, requires a lighter touch when exercising self-restraint and paying attention to details matter. Discussing delicate issues takes time; let patience be your guide and listen at least as much as you talk.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Entertaining at your place makes sense on Friday and Saturday with the boisterous Leo Moon lighting up your 4th House of Home and Family. Being generous of spirit is the key to meaningful interactions, even if you feel like you’re not receiving all the love and attention you need in return. Giving more than you take pays off on Sunday with a lunar shift into fellow Earth sign Virgo and your 5th House of Romance. A perfect mix of practicality and play allows you to find pleasure working with a desirable partner or to have fun even when doing your chores.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Flirtatious behavior is appropriate all week long starting with the friendly Gemini New Moon on Tuesday and ending with the bold Leo Moon shining in your 3rd House of Communication on Friday and Saturday. Striking up casual conversations enlivens even the most routine outing. You know how to be playful without ruffling feathers now that your chatty ruling planet Mercury is traveling through sensitive Cancer. Sharing intimate issues in a discreet manner is bound to enrich your relationship life. Telling someone you care might make all the difference in the world.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may need to pump up your self-confidence to really enjoy being around others this weekend. The audacious Leo Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth signals the call to be more outgoing in your approach on Friday and Saturday. Dress up to put yourself in the mood required to tap into social opportunities and inspire romantic relationships. Showing your best self increases your chances for a deeper connection. Expressing your heart’s desires at the right moment may be all you need to do.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s time to step out and shine this weekend with the Moon illuminating your romantic sign on Friday and Saturday. Going too far in your search for fun is almost impossible now. As long as you obey the laws and don’t hurt anyone, there are no limits on how hard you can play. The spotlight is on you so you might as well put on an unforgettable show. You can make a heart connection almost anywhere you go. You might need a day of rest and recovery on Sunday after the Moon enters practical Virgo and your 2nd House of Resources.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The action for you this weekend is on the fringes and in the quiet corners of social gatherings. This behind-the-scenes approach works for you because the mood-setting Moon is lingering in your 12th House of Secrets on Friday and Saturday. While this lunar energy could make you feel like an outsider, it’s also a perfect chance for cozy connections in out-of-the-way places. Get some rest, you will need it. The pace changes significantly when the Moon moves into your industrious sign on Sunday, raising your public profile and putting you in the middle of the action.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Friends and organizations enliven your personal life this weekend with the expressive Leo Moon shaking up your 11th House of Groups on Friday and Saturday. Working for a cause is a great way to meet someone new or add a sense of purpose to a current flame. Sunday’s agenda takes a spiritual approach with the Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Divinity. Your amorous ruling planet Venus will finally start moving forward next week, making this a perfect time to complete unfinished personal business.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Graciously handling your responsibilities puts you in good stead this weekend. The confident Leo Moon occupies your 10th House of Public Duties on Friday and Saturday, empowering you to take the leadership role and run with it. Putting on a positive face, even under tough circumstances, earns you appreciation, admiration and allies. Good friends lighten the load on Sunday by inviting you to join in enjoyable group activities so you can take your mind off your work for a while.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The passionate Leo Moon inspires your 9th House of Higher Learning and Faraway Places on Friday and Saturday. Travel expeditions and educational experiences might put you in the mood for love. Sharing these mind-expanding activities strengthens your current partnership or fires up a potential new one. Expressing your opinions honestly might scare off a timid person who’s probably not your type. Hold out for the one who can challenge your head and your heart.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

There’s no halfway position when it comes to relationships this weekend. The risk-taking Leo Moon lights up your 8th House of Intimacy on Friday and Saturday, motivating you to give it all you’ve got. Investing more of yourself with the one you love or making bold moves with a potential new partner is essential. Sure, you may feel foolish by being so open emotionally, yet holding back keeps you out of the game. Life is an adventure on Sunday once the Virgo Moon moves into your 9th House of Big Ideas; you can travel anywhere you wish in your mind.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You should be ready to rock when it comes to relationships this weekend. The Moon’s presence in demonstrative Leo and your 7th House of Partners heats up personal matters on Friday and Saturday. Don’t play it cool when passion is the key that opens the door to love. It’s better to go too far than to keep your feelings to yourself. Outgoing people with lots of energy and the courage to express themselves freely are your best companions now. After the Moon slips into discerning Virgo and your 8th House of Intimacy on Sunday, you will know if you want to take the romance to the next level.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The proud Leo Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Service on Friday and Saturday could occupy your time with work. But a playful approach to any task can turn it into an opportunity for fun and maybe even spark an unexpected attraction. You can make chores seem like a game now by being bold and creative in your actions. Sunday offers even greater chances for connecting with someone special as a lunar transit in your 7th House of Partners pulls the people you admire into your orbit. Your love light is nearly impossible to resist.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 26th

Upward and onward! There should be little hesitation going on during this freewheeling Saturday. The Moon in Leo forms a constructive and creative, 60-degree link with the Sun in Gemini (1:42AM PDT). Adding excitement and stimulation to the psychic atmosphere is a flowing trine between the Moon and Uranus in fire signs (5:45AM PDT). This could be a banner day for antique hunters and collectible aficionados as estate sales, auctions and art fairs look promising. Your productivity quotient is ready to soar into the stratosphere as the Moon parallels Ceres (12:26PM PDT). Anytime Ceres receives the good-housekeeping seal of approval from the Moon, there is an extra emphasis on eating more nutritious foods and improving your diet. Find time to let your inner child run the show under the happy energy-field sustained by Leo Moon. Attend a piano recital, musical concert or new film showing at your local theater. Be prepared to receive the incoming tide of cosmic seed-ideas – eager to enter and simultaneously enlighten human minds – as the Sun-Mercury Superior Conjunction happens on Sunday morning.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Jan. 11th

Our actions don’t seem to elicit the responses that we expected today. Instead, everything takes longer now that energetic Mars in detail-oriented Virgo is moving very slowly, getting ready to go retrograde in a couple of weeks. Mars forms supernatural septiles with Venus and Mercury, turning things weird. Thankfully, dreams can become real as the fearless Leo Moon guides us to overcome uncomfortable situations by maintaining a positive attitude.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your ruling planet Mars is held suspended in time today, making it difficult to initiate action. Even if you have a concrete plan, it may be nearly impossible to stick to it. The timing is off now; just as you are finally ready to start a new project, a wave of emotions can sweep over you and catch you off guard. Nevertheless, you don’t need to wait any longer; it’s time to sprint toward your destination no matter what. Concentrate on reaching your goals, even if they suddenly seem far away.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Taking action too soon may not seem like your regular style, but you might become so impatient today that you do something without considering what might happen next. You could get hooked by someone who has a specific idea of what you should be doing at work. You’re willing to jeopardize the stability of your current job for a chance at real success. Go for it, but don’t burn any bridges that you will later regret.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You want to create a big splash now as you demonstrate how proactive you can be in a tough situation. However, you might not think that revealing your emotions is a good idea. Although finding your center of gravity is useful, acting cautiously actually helps your cause. There’s no need to change everything all at once. Instead, take a few steps backward, breathe deeply and give it your best shot again once you’re ready.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re motivated to take on a new project today, but as you get closer to starting your excitement might begin to wane. Even if you do jump in, you might not have sufficient stamina to finish it, so try not to waste too much energy. Managing your resources wisely now could be crucial to your well-being later. There’s a lot happening around you, so it’s wise to prioritize your tasks immediately and not after it’s too late.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may not be comfortable with your role as an action hero today as fiery Mars runs into a complex web of aspects. You might feel as if you’re ready to boil over, yet the fire isn’t quite hot enough to do the trick. Cooling your jets until everything is in order may not be an option because the window of opportunity won’t stay open for very long. Even if you don’t have a detailed plan in place, just grab the chance while you can and apply your energy to creating your future.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may not feel like seeing too many of your friends and acquaintances today, so your initial impulse might be to withdraw from the action. Unfortunately, this isn’t the healthiest response, especially if your presence is helpful. Think about following through with your social obligations while still leaving some time left over to follow your dreams. You can do it all now if you don’t lose yourself to your fantasies along the way.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Nearly everything in your life appears to be growing more complicated again, especially if your friends and associates make demands that raise your anger. You’re not interested in being pushed around now, and if you’re provoked you’re likely to surprise others by stepping into combat mode. It makes the most sense for everyone to leave you alone today, unless they’re ready to play by your rules.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your traditional ruling planet Mars is the major planetary player today as it surrealistically septiles magnetic Venus and motor-mouth Mercury. This erratic energy can transform a simple conversation into a major conflict or a passionate encounter. Fortunately, you may be more adept now at making peace, not war. However, you must remain vigilant because conscious effort on your part won’t just happen on its own.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your day is busy with noisy conversations, too many emails and a phone that won’t leave you alone. You could even lose your temper if today’s data overload becomes too much for you to manage. However, ego battles aren’t useful and have no place in your life. Blaming someone else won’t accomplish anything of value; stop talking about the past and shift your attention to the positive changes you want to make for the future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might want to demonstrate your passion to a loved one today and see where the process carries you. However, you could miss a prime opportunity unless you stay true to your feelings and communicate them honestly. You really don’t have to add flourishes to your words or need to embellish your actions. Just tell the truth in a straightforward manner to minimize the possibility of misunderstandings.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Partnerships remain in the spotlight today as the needy Leo Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Companions pulls you toward others. However, Mars is being stressed in your 8th House of Intimacy, prompting you to believe that a friend or lover is crowding your comfort zone. Be courageous and defend your personal space, but don’t take things too far by attacking someone else. Even if you’re a bit worried, you’re probably not in as much danger as you might think.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may seem more approachable to others today, which encourages them to trust you with their needs. If someone is trying to finish a project and looking for reinforcement, you’re the go-to person now. Unfortunately, you’re growing tired of having to hold down the fort. But avoiding your responsibilities isn’t a real option, so start right away. The quicker you get rolling, the sooner your work will be complete.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 11th

It would be great to report that happy days are here again and that most troubling situations – cosmically speaking – are on permanent hiatus. However, that is not in the 2012 game-plan and even two days from now – on a Friday the Thirteenth! – Mercury will unite with distant, mysterious and secretive Pluto while Venus unites with dreamy and far-out Neptune. With these intense planetary alignments waiting in the proverbial wings, take advantage of the joyful vibes coming from this morning’s Moon-Jupiter parallel (6:25AM PST). If you are not a frequent reader of this calendar, be aware that parallel and contra-parallel alignments are calculated by watching celestial bodies moving north and south of the Celestial Equator whereas zodiacal alignments are calculated in proximity to the great circle known as the Ecliptic. The Moon with Jupiter via a parallel formation is similar to a conjunction of these two bodies in the zodiac, and every lunar union with Jupiter normally offers up golden opportunities, an increase in fortunate tidings, and a reinforcement of the power of positive thinking. If you are awake and alert a few hours before the Moon-Jupiter alliance, it is best to keep your mental faculties serene since Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Pallas (2:12AM PST). The playful and loving vibrations of Leo Moon continue in force today – although some emotional challenges and psychic tensions can envelope primary partnerships when the Moon opposes Venus (9:29PM PST). Build up dear ones with praise and support instead of criticizing them with words of condemnation.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 10th

We may be feeling a bit out of sync with our feelings today as the proud Leo Moon forms challenging aspects with rational Mercury and passionate Pluto. Even if we’re clear about our needs, it’s difficult to find the right words to say what we mean. But we’re not likely to quit, even if we realize achieving satisfaction might not be so easy. Nevertheless, keeping a positive attitude enables us to rise above nearly any setbacks we face now.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may grow bored unless you have an opportunity to do things your way today. The lively Leo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Self-Expression encourages you to share what you’re feeling, even if it means shaking everything up a bit. However, actually setting your plan into motion could require more forethought than you want to invest. But don’t let that stop you; it’s your time to take a risk and be as creative as you feel. Original thinking helps you find the best way to make it happen.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could be so caught up in your own thoughts today that you can miss an opportunity for fun that’s right in front of your nose. Don’t worry if you’re not motivated to work hard because indulging in pleasure might be exactly what you need now. As long as you don’t totally avoid your previous obligations, there’s nothing wrong with a quick escape to replenish your energy. After you have relaxed for a while, you should be much more amenable to returning to your responsibilities.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re motivated to make it appear like you’re enjoying yourself today because you’re trying to set an example for others to follow. You may think if your co-workers see you having a good time, they will want to join in. Unfortunately, this tactic isn’t the smartest strategy since your game playing could alienate the same people you want to attract. Just be straightforward from the start or you’ll end up being so clever that you outsmart yourself.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might be so stubborn when it comes to spending money today that you disagree with someone who thinks you should be more frugal. Although this conflict may not be worth an argument, you still need to be careful about denying your feelings. You could grow irritated if you bury your real needs and remain completely silent. Ultimately, it’s best to say what’s on your mind now. Even if you must compromise, you’ll be more optimistic about what’s ahead once you express yourself.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if you have a serious to-do list in front of you, you’re not necessarily in the mood to work today. The Moon’s visit to your dramatic sign makes it more difficult to hide your feelings, yet expressing them might not help your day run any smoother. Instead of setting a good example for others by being responsible, you’re tempted to evade your chores now. However, handling your obligations early in the day so you have time to play later settles your resistance before it grows into rebellion or resentment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This can be an enjoyable day even if you don’t have a lot going on. The Leo Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Spirituality allows you to find great enjoyment, even from the simplest pleasures. There’s no need to go out of your way to make something special happen. Instead, just grab a bit of well-deserved rest and relaxation while you can. No fretting is required; your life will grow busy again soon enough.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Going out and seeking unusual experiences with your friends today sounds like a good idea. However, you might become so involved with a project at home that you reconsider your previous commitments. Finding a creative flow can be very satisfying, but think twice before you just cancel an engagement. Even if it’s a challenge to get moving now, you’ll be glad you did once you’re in motion.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Oftentimes you enjoy working behind the scenes, but the Leo Moon in your 10th House of Status encourages you to ask for the recognition you have earned. You may even be tempted to overdramatize your feelings to ensure that they are heard and acknowledged. Unfortunately, being too assertive today might actually produce results that are opposite to what you desire. Ironically, you won’t have to practice self-restraint once you realize that grandstanding is counterproductive.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your eagerness to let your imagination dream up future adventures may be stronger now than your ability to turn them into reality. However, you might discover that you don’t have to be so pragmatic to make your fantasies real. Lean on using your common sense by eliminating all but the most practical ideas. Then, allow plenty of time to develop your plans before you put them into motion. Mapping out your strategy in terms of weeks and months maximizes your chances for success.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually capable of working hard and waiting for personal satisfaction if your goals are clearly defined. However, you may feel very disappointed once you realize that you don’t have what you want today. Even if your most important needs are being fulfilled, you might still think that there’s something missing — yet you don’t know what it could be. Your ongoing frustration can get the best of you unless you truly believe that there’s no hurry to find the answer. Take your time; you have a few more weeks to sort it all out.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to stand up for yourself today if others try to bully you into taking a different course of action. Don’t let someone get away with assuming power that wasn’t earned. If you see a friend or co-worker misusing authority, be brave and speak up. But don’t get hooked into believing that you have to prove anything. Simply getting the truth, as you see it, out into the open helps everyone involved.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You probably have plenty to accomplish today now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Work. Although your mind could meander off course, others can see through your attempts to make it look like you’re highly focused now. Don’t bother trying to hide the obvious; it will only take extra time and energy. Acknowledge the richness of your current fantasy life while still doing your best to cross tasks off your list one at a time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 10th

Every so often the universe decides to take a siesta and cease bombarding Earth and human souls with challenging alignments. Right now only a trio of minor lunar aspects – the Moon in Leo contra-parallel to Venus (8:54AM PST), the Moon moving 45-degrees to Mars (9:15AM PST) and the Moon forming an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Pluto (10:23AM PST) – has the capacity to throw you off course. It is more likely that you can continue to distribute the cosmic goodwill vibes that descended from divine planes of consciousness during Sunday night’s Full Moon. In addition, Leo Moon contains that built-in playful and child-like sensitivity. Take a break from the dog-eat-dog, hectic pace of life by visiting an art gallery, museum or national landmark. This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to let you know that Mars is slowing down with each passing day until it makes a station and turns retrograde in earthy Virgo on Monday January 23. [Mars in Virgo will remain in reverse until April 13.] Once Mars is retrograde, it is a good time to review and re-evaluate your desires, passions, and overall emotional demeanor. Working on issues like anger management and being too egocentric are appropriate during every Mars reversal (which happens approximately every two years). Between now and January 23, Mars remains in direct motion and you can keep moving ahead with many of your independent, assertive and dynamic enterprises – as long as you do so with some care, efficiency and organizing skills (some of the gifts that the sign Virgo provides to the red planet during its long stay in this sixth sign of the zodiac).

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, December 15th

We are likely to act on our feelings today because the proud Leo Moon is more outgoing as she harmoniously trines the inspirational Sagittarius Sun. However, emotions may confuse us when the Moon opposes foggy Neptune prior to shifting into clear-thinking Virgo at 10:58 pm EST. Normally the Virgo Moon focuses our perceptions, but a late night trine to expansive Jupiter encourages us to wax philosophic, even if we should be practical instead.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The bold Leo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Love and Creativity empowers you to make time for an artistic project or to pursue a romantic interest. Either way, you’re eager to express what’s in your heart today. However, your plan may run into problems if you don’t clearly define what you want. If you are specific when describing your needs now, your chances for fulfillment are much better.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A complicated relationship may turn sour for a short while today, but this is no cause for worry because things will probably improve pretty quickly. You might feel as if you are trying to adjust to the current instability of a partnership, but your anxiety won’t go away until you gain more security. It’s difficult to know how much to talk about and how much you should keep to yourself. Begin slowly; you can always take the conversation to the next level later on.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Even if you are normally easygoing, you’re more irritated today if others don’t realize that you are taking on more responsibilities. Although you wish that you could leave work early, you may need to pitch in to cover for someone’s lack of productivity. But don’t blame anyone else; just keep doing what makes the most sense for the good of everyone involved. Set aside your personal preferences now to demonstrate your willingness to be a team player.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel good about what’s happening at work today, but you still must deal with a personal financial issue or you won’t be able to relax. Others might not be too sympathetic to your current plight at first because they only see your positive side and the productive results of your efforts. Nevertheless, it isn’t helpful to cover up your fiscal concerns. Sharing your worries can deepen a relationship, but you still must take care of the practical issues on your own.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re able to charm your way through an awkward situation today, provided that you don’t act as if everything is all about you. Although it may be challenging to widen your perspective to include other people’s points of view, you still must try if you want to be successful now. Your chances of overcoming adversity increase if you are also sensitive to the needs of those closest to you.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel as if you’re at the end of your rope now, but you’re not ready to let go yet. Nevertheless, you might be required to eliminate an outmoded emotional habit to alleviate your stress today. You could believe that making a few minor adjustments will allow you to move on, but more drastic measures will probably be necessary. Don’t wait; address the big picture while you still have time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be thrilled with the possibility of negotiating a manageable truce in your life as you stand between opposing factions. This could be as simple as settling a family argument or as complex as working out the details to an international treaty. Either way, it becomes more apparent as you get further into the process that establishing common ground isn’t all that easy today. Don’t get too discouraged now if it takes longer than you expect to broker a solution.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your workmates may be pressuring you to participate in a group activity today, but you don’t want to be distracted from taking care of unfinished personal business. Fortunately, you’re able to maintain the status quo, even if you must speak a few harsh words to make yourself clear. Thankfully, others should back off enough to give you the room you need once you express what’s on your mind.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are pretty clear about what you want to do next, but you may also need to acknowledge the possibility that you’re overstepping your limits or someone else’s boundaries today. Overextending yourself isn’t helpful on your quest; you won’t reach your goals any faster. It’s smarter to demonstrate a bit of self-restraint now, rather than waiting for reality to stop you in your tracks.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can grow anxious when someone’s expecting you to put on a show. Whether you’re supposed to give a professional presentation or just casually entertain at a party, you’re not that interested in being in the public spotlight now. However, hiding in the shadows isn’t in your best interest today. Change your attitude and stay open to any recognition that you receive, because a little fame can bring good fortune down the road.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It may appear that others are encouraging you now, but as you start to put your plan into motion, they might decide to not show up. This is tricky territory because you can’t just go chasing after the approval you want today, for the more you pursue it, the faster it recedes. Remember that the urgency is only within your mind; you have more time than you think.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be getting tired of showing up with a smile at work and still being told that you’re the negative one. You believe that others might be projecting their fears onto you and you don’t want to take it any longer. But it doesn’t matter who is in the right; everyone involved needs to step back from the current situation to get some breathing room. Let the dust settle for a couple of days before jumping back into the fray.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 14th

Today’s lively Leo Moon provokes us to do whatever we feel is necessary to be seen and heard. We don’t want to sit idly on the sidelines; we prefer to be in the game where the action is. We’re not afraid to start a new project and express our creativity with enthusiasm, since there are planets in each of the three Fire signs. Additionally, sharing our opinions is easier now that talkative Mercury is moving direct in philosophical Sagittarius.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t in the mood for anyone to tell you what to do today, but your rebellious attitude can create problems if you just do the opposite of whatever you are told. Doing things your way may seem like the best course of action, but your efforts won’t lead to a positive outcome now unless you also take time to listen to others. Don’t lose track of your long-term goals, but remember to soften your stance so you don’t alienate your allies.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

At times you are stubborn for no apparent reason, yet you might have a real justification for maintaining the status quo today. Unfortunately, you may find it challenging to explain your motives to others because you’re so confident now that you could become overly defensive. Although you’re not likely to change your mind, demonstrating a bit of flexibility in your thinking can help you to get what you want.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need to interact with others could run into unexpected problems today because everyone seems to have his or her own agenda. Fortunately, you can positively impact the flow of events anyway by concentrating on long-term goals instead of bothersome short-term frustrations. A simple change of perspective alleviates pressures that might otherwise evoke conflict. Tempering a possible extreme reaction improves your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Co-workers could come on so strong that you feel like retreating to insulate yourself from them. You don’t want to be goaded into making a choice before you’re ready to decide for yourself, so you’re tempted to withdraw without fully revealing your feelings. However, your fears can exacerbate a tricky situation. Instead of seeking solitude today, it might be wiser to admit your sensitivity and ask your associates to hold off with their judgments until you’ve had enough time to make up your mind.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may respond to someone’s invitation without even thinking now that the reactive Moon is back in your sign. Unfortunately, you might discover that you agreed to more than you intended. If you don’t consider what happens next, you could be unhappily surprised that your optimism steered you toward a wrong conclusion. On the other hand, you don’t have to be overly cautious if you just remember to temper your natural exuberance with a bit of common sense.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your feelings isn’t the best approach to managing a strong emotional interaction today. You are more transparent than you think, and others probably won’t trust you if they see that you aren’t being honest with them. Don’t wait until your frustration reaches a critical level before saying what’s on your mind. Avoiding an argument is easy now if you remember to share your reactions calmly before they grow out of control.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your need to please others can lead to fun today as long as you aren’t acting for a selfish reason. But if you’re only considering what’s advantageous for you, your expectations may get in the way of a wonderful experience. Ultimately, you might be struggling with control issues now, so try letting go of your attachment to any desired outcome. If you are simply responsive without promoting your agenda, you may end up with more than you thought possible.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might believe that you have to stand strong today, but your worries about being judged harshly could prompt you to overstate your perspective. You may even be so rigid in your presentation that others pull away from you because they think there’s not enough room in your position for negotiation. Fortunately, you can soften your message without weakening your conviction. Keep in mind that someone’s alternative point of view doesn’t necessarily threaten yours.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your optimism has returned now that Mercury is moving direct in your sign, and you may not have the patience to listen to anyone else’s negativity about your plans. If someone is dissatisfied with your agenda today, you could be tempted to just take off and do your own thing. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to react so quickly if it means that you are excluding others. Take a few deep breaths and give them time to come around because it will be more fun to play in a group.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It might seem as if someone is exerting unnecessary influence over you today and it doesn’t feel right. Instead of avoiding a confrontation by retreating, you’re annoyed enough to face it head-on — especially if you know that you are right. However, you could inadvertently create a situation where being a winner makes someone else a loser. Rather than sinking into unnecessary competition now, change the framework into a cooperative one where everyone comes out ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like it when someone is clear about his or her needs, but you’re not as supportive if a friend or co-worker is acting selfishly today. You may try to maintain your positive attitude, but you might respond with forceful words if someone pushes you too hard. It’s your decision; you don’t have to encourage conflict. You have the power to deflect aggression by quietly holding on to your position and waiting things out.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel the need to put on a show at work today because you want to be noticed for your contributions. But instead of drawing attention to yourself, just go about your business because completing your chores and fulfilling your obligations will garner more support than empty shenanigans. In the long run doing your job well brings you more recognition than shining a spotlight on yourself.

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Make the most of the Moon’s journey

All eyes are on the Moon as we near the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on December 10. But how much do you know about the Moon and how it affects you? Changing signs every two and a quarter days, the Moon is the fastest moving astrological “planet.”

The Moon represents our emotions, and as it travels through the different horoscope signs, our moods follow suit. We feel best and operate most effectively when we’re cooperating with the energy of the Moon, as indicated by the horoscope sign it’s in at any given time.

Monthly power times

Pay special attention to when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun sign — these few days of each month are your power times! The tides are flowing in your direction, so you’ll feel more confident and energized, and people are more likely to respond to you positively.

So, if you’re planning to invite someone special out on a date, ask for a raise, go on a job interview or any other task requiring self-assertion and risk-taking, these are the days to go for it.

On the flip side, when the Moon is in the sign opposite to your Sun sign, keep a low profile. (If you’re not sure which sign is opposite, just count six signs away from yours.) Catch up on rest, and do for others rather than expecting things to go your way. Plan accordingly — this is not the time to push it and try to get ahead.

Discover how to make the most of the Moon’s visit to each horoscope sign:

Aries Moon

Get physical! The first horoscope sign calls for action and movement. Go for a run or hike, dance, work out at the gym or find some other way to let off steam. Tempers can rise under this fiery Moon, so find healthy outlets for expression — physical and/or creative. This Moon can light a fire under you to start putting your ideas into action, so take a risk in the direction of your desires.

Taurus Moon

Slow down and take time to nurture your body and the planet. This sensual and earthy sign invites you to appreciate the physical world and the realm of the senses. Walk through the woods, work in the garden, get a massage or play soothing music. This tends to be a mellow, restful and reflective Moon — a time to practice simply being.

Gemini Moon

Call your friends, catch up on emails and chat with the neighbors while the Moon visits the airy sign of the Messenger. Your mind is especially active, even hyper-active, so give it something to stew on. This is an ideal time for taking (or teaching) a class, learning something new and exploring multiple perspectives. Follow your curiosity and keep an open mind.

Cancer Moon

Curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea during this homebody Moon (Cancer is, afterall, the Moon’s home sign). As a sensitive Water sign, the Crab calls for tuning in to your inner world. When you give yourself permission to feel and express your emotions, you’re more likely to avoid the down side of this Moon — crabbiness. Cook a nourishing meal, perhaps inviting a close friend or family member for dinner.

Leo Moon

This fiery Moon wants to play and celebrate. Let your inner child take the lead and do something spontaneous that serves no purpose beyond having fun. The Lion rules the heart, inspiring romance and passion — an ideal time for getting decked out in your most glamorous attire and hitting the town. Creative energy abounds — express yourself!

Virgo Moon

Attend to the nitty gritty details of daily life when the Moon enters this sign of service. Catching up on household chores, organizing the closet, balancing your checkbook — these mundane tasks might sound like a bore, but you feel so much better when you stop procrastinating and get the job done. People tend to be more critical and fault-finding than usual, so pay attention to the little things.

Libra Moon

The Moon in the horoscope sign of the Scales brings attention to what’s out of balance, inviting you to create more harmony in your relationships, environment and inner world. Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and the arts. Enhance your appearance with a new hair style or clothes, and plan to socialize. Cultural events and creative activities are especially recommended.

Scorpio Moon

Invite your inner witch or wizard to come out of hiding during this magical Moon, a prime time for casting spells and performing rituals. You’re more tuned into both the invisible realm and the dark side now — including shadowy emotions that require an outlet. Share your deepest feelings with someone you trust. This is not a time to party hearty with the crowds — plan an intimate date instead.

Sagittarius Moon

When the Moon visits the horoscope sign of the Archer, you’re ready for adventure, exploration and expansion. These days are perfect for travel. If you can’t take a trip in the physical world, broaden your intellectual and spiritual horizons by attending a lecture or workshop. Restlessness is common, as your mental arrows shoot out in multiple directions — plan for lots of activity, movement and socializing.

Capricorn Moon

Now is the optimal time to accomplish any ambitious projects requiring hard work, perseverance and pragmatism. For best results, mimic the Mountain Goat — move slowly, cautiously and deliberately as you reach for the top. Don’t let the heaviness and somber tone of this Moon get you down — if you stay focused on your plans and goals, you feel energized and productive.

Aquarius Moon

You’re in the mood for networking, connecting with friends and all group activities when the Moon calls on community-minded Aquarius. Your intuition is heightened, inviting flashes of insight that help you to see your life from a higher perspective. If you’re feeling stuck, this revolutionary Moon wants to liberate you from old ways of thinking and inspire you to make changes that enhance your sense of freedom.

Pisces Moon

During this sensitive and squishy Moon, retreat, rest and reflection are recommended. Your dreams are more active than usual, so pay attention — they may have important information for you. The sign of the Fish activates your imagination and fantasies, offering an ideal opportunity for creative expression, especially music, dance, painting and poetry.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 18th

Today’s expressive Leo Moon provokes us to do whatever is necessary to be seen and heard by those we love. We don’t want to sit on the sidelines now, yet our intentions can become muddled when the Moon squares the Sun and opposes dreamy Neptune this morning. Clear thinking returns as the Moon shifts into precise Virgo at 5:18 pm EST. Still, it helps to remember that our feelings are important and that logic doesn’t give us all the answers.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that no one should tell you what to do today. You might even feel like doing the opposite of what everyone expects, but this arrogant attitude won’t lead to anything positive. It’s smarter to take time to ask what others think and then listen carefully to what they say. There’s nothing wrong with having goals of your own as long as you temper your actions so you won’t upset your best allies.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Sometimes you can be stubborn without even realizing that you have dug your heels into the ground. However, you know exactly what you’re doing today and you most likely have a good reason to hold on to your position. But it still can be a challenge to justify your behavior now because your intense emotions prompt you to be overly defensive. Even if you won’t change your mind, be aware that you’ll have a better chance of getting what you want if you try to be more flexible in your thinking.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need to interact with other people at work today may be blocked by circumstances that appear to be beyond your control. However, you can have a positive effect on your day by envisioning your ideal future instead of concentrating on your current frustrations. A simple shift of focus could alleviate the pressure and prevent rash behavior on your part. Extreme reactions aren’t necessary; moderation improves your chances to achieve satisfaction.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The people in your immediate environment could be so pushy today that you want to resist following their agenda. Unfortunately, passive-aggressive behavior isn’t conducive to getting what you want; neither is losing your temper. Nevertheless, revealing your feelings can be helpful if you present them in a non-judgmental way. Expressing yourself without blaming anyone else is tricky, yet it’s possible with a bit of conscious intention.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could respond so quickly to someone’s invitation that you end up saying yes to more activities than you can handle. It’s worthwhile to take time and think about what happens next or you may be unpleasantly surprised by where your overinflated optimism leads you. However, you don’t need to act too cautiously if you simply temper your enthusiasm. Making good use of your common sense can minimize the chances of a difficult situation developing later on.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your anger today isn’t the best approach to managing an intense interaction with an emotional person. Unfortunately, your feelings are more transparent than you think, leading others to mistrust you if they see that you aren’t being completely honest. Don’t wait until your frustration reaches the boiling point before you say something. Avoid unnecessary arguments by sharing your inner process before it grows out of control.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your need to please your friends may lead to more enjoyment today than you expect. But if you’re only thinking about what you can get out of a situation, your expectations will surely stand in the way of a potentially joyful experience. You may have to manage your desire to maintain control, even if you appear to be unattached to what happens. Your best chance of finding happiness now is interacting with others without trying to manipulate the outcome.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are motivated to take a firm stand on an issue that demonstrates your integrity today. However, your concerns about being judged in a negative light could tempt you to overstate your position. You may be so adamant that others go quiet, thinking there’s no room for meaningful dialogue. You can soften your words without having to compromise your convictions by remembering that someone can hold a different point of view without taking anything away from yours.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your confidence has returned, prompting you to shut off anyone else’s negative feedback about your big plans. If someone is dissatisfied with your stated intentions now, you may be tempted to walk away and do your own thing without any further discussion. However, it’s not wise to be so quick to leave your friends behind. Take a deep breath and slow down today; give others sufficient time to come around to your perspective because everyone will have more fun playing in a group.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may believe that someone is exerting unnecessary control over you now and you aren’t happy about it. Rather than quietly avoiding a direct confrontation, you’re eager to face it head-on. Unfortunately, if you believe that you are right, the dynamics can take a turn for the worse. However, creating a win-win situation flips you into a cooperative mode where everyone comes out ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are supportive of others who are extra clear about their needs; however, you’re not as enamored with those who act selfishly. You may try to maintain an upbeat attitude today, but someone could inadvertently push you too hard, provoking a forceful response. However, you don’t have to slip unconsciously into conflict. Deflect overt aggression by confidently holding your position and cheerfully waiting for things to work out.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might inadvertently make too big of a deal out of what you are doing today because you crave positive feedback, rather than criticism, from others. But doing your work isn’t a guaranteed path to gaining more attention. Don’t waste energy wondering if you are appreciated by your peers; just complete your assignments as efficiently as possible, without looking back. Ultimately, your performance brings more positive recognition than shining the spotlight on yourself.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 17th

A long-lasting wave of power will continue to build through next week, deepening the intensity of our actions and empowering us to follow through on what we start. However, it’s crucial to consider the most practical approach because Mars in efficient Virgo is forming a stabilizing Grand Earth Trine with visionary Jupiter (yesterday) and potent Pluto (on Nov. 23). Meanwhile, today’s dramatic Leo Moon motivates us to express our feelings.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t matter what you have to do today because you’re in the mood to play rather than work. Instead of heading into the office, you would rather be off doing your own thing. Your creative potential is high now but you may feel as if you need to be less restricted in order to express what’s in your heart. Don’t wait for circumstances to change; make the best of what you have in the present moment.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You feel as if you deserve to be acknowledged and even appreciated by those close to you, yet you’re not sure that you want to share your feelings today. Your mixed messages make it challenging for others to connect with you. It’s really your choice; if you take a leap and reveal what’s in your heart, you can create a fertile environment for intimacy. Push back against your resistance by expressing your real intentions, even if it makes you uncomfortable. The likelihood of success makes this less of a gamble than you think.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have a variety of things that you want to do today, but it’s easy to stack up one too many activities for such a limited amount of time. Your day only grows more complex if you are unable to say no. Although you may be looking forward to fun, your life becomes complicated if you’re so busy that you can’t give anything the attention it deserves. Fortunately, lightening up your calendar should have a positive impact on the rest of your week.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your usual need for emotional safety might not serve you well today, making this a smart time to take a risk in the outer world. Although breaking out of your shell is probably the best thing you can do, overextending yourself could make you so uncomfortable that you run back to the seclusion of your private world. Instead, take a few methodical steps into your journey; start small and grow into your new strategy so you won’t have to retreat.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although the Moon’s visit to your lively sign increases the activity level of your day, don’t take on so much that you burn yourself out before you’re ready to call it quits. However, doing too little can leave you feeling frustrated since you have so many things you want to accomplish. A more constructive approach is to concentrate on the most crucial tasks, leaving the other ones for another day.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have set your goals so high for today that you might be wise to cancel a few activities so you can recharge your batteries instead of running out of energy. You are uncharacteristically resistant to making a list of exactly what you want to do because you want some flexibility to relax. Nevertheless, it’s still best to give some structure to your day; ultimately setting a schedule will open up more time than making it up as you go along.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your day may start on a rough note, but thankfully it improves through the afternoon and evening. You might want to take it easy, but hard work now brings bountiful rewards. Instead of ignoring your obligations as a team player today, fulfill your promises before you head off to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, your efforts will pay off many times over, making you glad that you took the more responsible path.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Trusting your intuition is your best strategy today, even if you’re unable to rationally explain how you arrived at your decision. Although you have a healthy balance between your career objectives and your personal values, you still might need to perform tasks you would rather leave behind. But don’t be overly concerned if your obligations don’t align with your long-term goals now because you might not be able to see your true trajectory from your current point of view.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

While you know that practical concerns should be considered when making plans for your future, you’re tired of placing limits on yourself. You are tempted to ignore the current circumstances and just do as you please; however, you cannot avoid the reality of the present situation at work. Thankfully, after you finish assessing your current condition, you should be able to move ahead with a much clearer view of the future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re not a stranger to hard work, yet you might talk about everything you want to do instead of actually doing it today. You are motivated by a strong desire to create a life of purpose, but your higher ideals don’t necessarily support the tasks that you need to complete. Procrastination doesn’t work in your favor because you still must meet your obligations. Instead of wasting time plotting your escape, just bite the bullet now and finish the job before doing anything else.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like the idea of working by yourself, but the Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners makes it difficult to avoid others. You might become obsessive about evading someone you don’t want to see today, even if there’s no easy escape. Fortunately, once you are engaged in a social situation, you could quickly forget about your previous resistance. Make it easier on yourself by practicing flexibility earlier in the day instead of waiting for circumstances to force you to change your mind.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be unusually self-critical as you compare your performance at work to your original objectives. Or you might be unforgiving with a co-worker who isn’t holding up his or her end of the deal. Although your inclination is to be brutally honest today, this strategy could quickly turn a minor problem into a major event. You don’t need to say everything you feel now unless you can show extra kindness when stating your point of view.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 22nd

The lovely Leo Moon opposes nebulous Neptune this morning, extending the spacey theme of yesterday’s Sun-Neptune trine. However, we are brought back down to earth when the Moon slips into practical Virgo at 10:40 am EDT. Although the discriminating Virgo Moon normally gives us the ability to filter out unrealistic goals, beautiful Venus aligns with unruly Uranus to suddenly activate unconventional desires that are more thrilling than useful.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t matter that you want to do something crazy today that goes against everyone’s expectations; you have obligations that take precedence over your urge to escape. Instead of kicking back now, you would be better off putting your shoulder to the wheel and focusing on work. Whether you have job-related projects or domestic chores, don’t postpone them any longer. Your unwavering sense of purpose will reward you with the privilege of being able to take time off once you are finished.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can turn challenging work into fun today, because you have enough sense to make the best of any situation. You may be so clever and cunning in your approach that your coworkers actually believe that you’re enjoying yourself and offer to pitch in and help. But you’re no Tom Sawyer because you’ll paint the fence or do nearly any other job now even if no one else shows up. A job well done brings you real satisfaction all by itself.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might stuff more into your day than you can manage, but that won’t keep you from trying to do everything. Ironically, you would accomplish more if you just stopped long enough to make a sensible plan. Although you often like to figure out what you’re doing on the fly, it’s a frivolity you can’t afford now. Be realistic and cut back on your activities until you establish a more sustainable pace.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have a brilliant idea that enables you to perform up to someone else’s expectations while actually earning more independence in the process. You would like to escape from an overly rigid routine and, thankfully, your good-natured approach to work today could be the catalyst you need. But wishing for things to change isn’t enough; you need to have a concrete plan and be willing to work hard in order to have a shot at breaking free.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel safe while you’re on familiar ground at work or at home today, but alluring Venus is tempting you to try something new. Unfortunately, it’s not a wise idea to drop everything in search of joyful indulgences until you take care of your basic financial chores, such as paying your bills and balancing your accounts. The order of things is important now, so set intelligent priorities and then stick with them.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could be very self-critical as you do your own performance review today. Nothing that anyone else says will be enough to let you off the hook. There’s no escape; you need to process your disappointment and deal with the discouragement that recently surfaced. Although self-doubt isn’t useful, constructive self-analysis leads you to new insights about yourself.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s entry into your 12th House of Secrets today suggests that hidden obstacles are more problematic than obvious ones. You might have a hunch that you are missing an important piece of information, but you can’t figure out where to uncover it or even what it is. Thankfully, you can prevent frustration by simply accepting your current limitations. Your positive thinking can be your greatest strength now.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re feeling more social today as the Moon enters your 11th House of Community. Although you still want to accomplish a lot at work, you don’t have the same drive that you might have had yesterday and prefer to spend time with your friends, instead. It’s likely that they will rise to the occasion and support your plans, even if they don’t agree with what you want to do.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Instead of accepting anyone else’s authority now, you are ready to take charge of the situation yourself. Although others may be fully capable of handling whatever’s happening today, you believe that your combination of organizational skills and applicable knowledge gives you an important edge. Don’t be afraid to let everyone know what your plan is prior to your implementation. Including others makes it easier for them to jump in and help you reach your goals.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It might be wise to hold back your feelings today as the Moon shifts into analytical Virgo. But you could feel incapable of seeing the big picture now and are even tempted to cancel a trip to someplace special because you don’t have enough time. Don’t get too discouraged; there may be a very good reason to stay close to home, even if it takes a few days to see the logic of your thinking.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re itching to break out of an old relationship pattern, but you have enough common sense now to bide your time and see what happens, instead of doing something you might later regret. Unfortunately, you don’t want to negotiate away your independence, making you a tough partner these days. Nevertheless, you won’t be happy unless you can find a way to express your personal freedom. Even while asserting your self-reliance, showing up with warmth and honesty will help your cause.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might believe that you can float along in a current relationship, yet your friend or lover might want more of a commitment than you’re willing to make. Discussing specific issues could scare the heck out of you now, even if your partner seems to enjoy the conversation. Don’t just give in; you have a lot to learn now by exploring your resistance. If you acquiesce without expressing your needs, you could set a bad precedence for the days ahead.

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.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 17th

Social activities are exciting and imaginative on Friday with the expressive Leo Moon heading toward an opposition with otherworldly Neptune. This is ideal for a romantic fantasy that can be a delightful escape from the ordinary. Reality sets in on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into practical Virgo which may also create wonderful opportunities to mix work and play.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Thursday and Friday could be rocking romantically with the dramatic Leo Moon hanging out in your 5th House of Love and Play. It is possible to let your imagination get the best of you, creating expectations that can be hard to fulfill. The rest of the weekend looks to be a bit more grounded, but there is a chance that you could enjoy desirable companionship while you are working out or doing chores.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Carefully planning your social calendar could pay off in delightful ways this weekend. The Moon enters well-prepared Virgo and your 5th House of Romance on Saturday, which increases your chances for getting the admiration you deserve. However, it helps if you’re flexible because being too picky can put a damper on your potential for having a good time. Know what you want, but be willing to make adjustments to be with the one you love.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your clever communication skills should come in handy with the bold Leo Moon in your chatty 3rd house on Thursday and Friday. You might meet someone in the course of your daily routine and a casual conversation could heat up and lead to something more intimate. The Moon’s shift into pragmatic Virgo on Saturday indicates you will need to find a way to combine work with pleasure if you want to have fun.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Spending a little money on yourself can boost your morale with the Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth on Thursday and Friday. A bit more confidence will help you behave more boldly and come on stronger in pursuit of who and what you want. If you end up going too far, the rest of the weekend is ideal for serious discussions where you can work out the details that can sometimes make relationships so complicated.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon in your enthusiastic sign on Thursday and Friday adds passion to your already strong personality. Attracting attention should be even easier now as your natural leadership qualities are put to work for everyone to see. The rest of the weekend is more suitable for quiet moments where you get to connect in private and intimate ways. Showing a more serious and responsible side of yourself is sexier than you think.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon enters Virgo on Saturday morning, bringing your emotions to the surface for the rest of the weekend. But instead of feeling overly vulnerable and exposed, this is a wonderful chance to connect with someone on a more personal level. Letting a person see your imperfections is not a turn off, but an invitation to get closer. You may find that being more generous with yourself encourages others to be more accepting of you.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Pals and coworkers can boost your personal life with the outgoing Leo Moon in your 11th House of Groups on Thursday and Friday. Meeting someone through an organization, as a member or volunteer, is also possible. You may want more privacy or just feel the need to escape from the crowd on Saturday and Sunday, as the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Behind-the-Scenes Activities is a signal to relax and avoid the spotlight.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The lively Leo Moon illuminates your 10th House of Responsibility on Thursday and Friday, which should gain you plenty of attention and admiration. Demonstrating your generosity and open-heartedness in a public situation could also pay off in your private life. Connecting with friends is a key to happiness on Saturday and Sunday with a lunar shift into your 11th House of Groups. Being a good team player can be a major plus to your romantic game.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Getting out of town, or at least skipping your regular routine, might be your key to happiness on Thursday and Friday. The Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Faraway Places kicks up the adventurous side of your personality. Being with people from different cultures is a great way to expand your social horizons. Duty calls on Saturday once the Moon slips into hardworking Virgo, but taking care of business can be a strong first step toward a heartfelt connection.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your willingness to open up your heart in a current relationship or when meeting someone new can have a powerfully positive effect on Thursday and Friday. The risk-taking Leo Moon is in your 8th House of Intimacy where it challenges you to take chances if you desire closer connections. If you feel like you’ve exposed too much, the lunar transit into logical Virgo on Saturday is ideal for cleaning up mistakes.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your relationship life gets a big boost when the extroverted Leo Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners on Thursday and Friday. Being more direct about your feelings is worth the risk of feeling a little embarrassed. When your heart is open, it invites others to get closer to you. A lunar shift into your 8th House of Intimacy on Saturday can reveal the work that’s needed to deepen a current union or to find a new one.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be too busy with work or worries to get your weekend activities started until Saturday when the Moon enters pragmatic Virgo and your 7th House of Relationships. An overly critical partner can be annoying, but he or she may bring up an issue worth addressing. Knowing what you want from others, though, is the key to upgrading your relationship life with the one you’re with or with someone new.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, September 23rd

An equal amount of light and dark accompanies the Autumn Equinox today at 5:05 am EDT as the Sun shifts into Libra the Scales. But balance is elusive since the bold Leo Moon encourages us to express our feelings, especially when she conjuncts assertive Mars and trines reckless Uranus this morning. However, the superconductive trine from impulsive Mars to reactive Uranus can ignite the fuse on a tense situation, upsetting the status quo.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s not always easy to acknowledge your need for independence in a relationship while also wanting to be fully present for your partner. Often, these two desires seem mutually exclusive, but now you believe that you can do both. Unfortunately, your partner might have a different set of expectations, so be specific and clarify exactly what you want. Reaching a solid understanding of each other’s perspective is the safest way to avoid heartbreak.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although it’s in your best interest to please a good friend or a lover, you could go overboard today and do too much. It’s entirely possible to miss the point if you try to fix everything, just because you’re more comfortable when others are happy. However, it’s not your job to solve everyone else’s problems. Your best strategy is to offer your shoulder to lean on, be an attentive listener and then share your thoughts and feelings, only if asked. Maintaining your emotional balance is probably the best thing you can do now for someone you love.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might see yourself as a superhero who rescues the day by helping your friends escape to have fun. Energetic Mars in playful Leo harmonizes with brilliant Uranus in your 11th House of Social Networking. Nevertheless, forget about showing off and impressing others with your clever repartee. Don’t try to run the show; just enjoy the fact that you are a valuable member of the pack.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re eager to have things go your way now, yet you may feel secure enough to run things from backstage. You don’t want anonymity; you want to be acknowledged for your contribution. However, you’re not interested in being the center of attention. Ultimately, you’ll be happier if you don’t worry about how others judge you. It’s healthier to concentrate on the present moment so you can react quickly and effectively, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The melodramatic Leo Moon joins feisty Mars in your 1st House of Personality, encouraging you to let others know exactly how you feel. But you could come on too strong if you forget to consider their opinions, too. Slow down and think about what you’re going to do instead of just doing it. Adding a short time delay to your responses will improve your chances of making the best decision the first time around.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions may be out of control today, but ironically you’re still able to hide them. It’s challenging to find a mental resting place as your thoughts bounce around all over the map. Although your instincts will probably steer you right, it may be smarter to postpone any major decisions now until you’ve had time to let your best plan develop for a few more days.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The tension between you and others grows now that the Sun has returned to your sign and moves toward an opposition with wild Uranus. You are feeling a primal contradiction between your needs and what others want today. Your desires are so strong that you won’t take no for an answer. Relaxing is probably out of the question, but you need to find a way to express your individuality without going to extremes.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel so anxious today that you’re ready to jump right out of your skin. Unfortunately, calming your nerves is tricky business now, especially if you are motivated to accomplish a lot at work. You can be busy all day, but your restlessness may have you skipping around from job to job without finishing anything. Making many small adjustments throughout the day can ease your frustration, but won’t solve the deeper problem. Luckily, channeling your excess energy into a healthy physical outlet can take the edge off.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be so excited today that you forget to do what you previously promised. Instead, you’re tempted to run off and chase the possibility of a good time. Be careful or you might have to pay the price later if you choose to avoid your obligations. Fortunately, you can respond by saying “not yet” instead of “yes” when invited out to play. Finish your work before losing yourself in the potential pleasures of your day.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are eager for some excitement in your life and you’re tempted to stir up a bit of mischief in a relationship or at work just for the fun of it. Unfortunately, you can become so serious about having a good time that you end up creating more trouble than you bargained for today. Thankfully, any instability that surfaces now should settle down pretty quickly over the days ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s spirited Moon-Mars conjunction in your 7th House of Relationships offers a lot of dynamic interactions all around you. Distractions can be interesting now, but they also might prevent you from getting much-needed rest and relaxation. Don’t work yourself up into a state of high anxiety if time starts to slip away before you begin to enjoy the day. Instead, be flexible with your schedule; it takes much more energy to fight the tide than simply going with it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may have the need to express yourself at work today, yet you’re not likely to toe the party line. Your actions can be surprising to your co-workers, but somehow you seem to be able to get away with more than usual. Although you tend to do things your own way now, your approach can be novel enough that others are more intrigued than upset. Following your creative whims is a wonderful idea as long as you don’t take things too far.

Weekly Love Horoscopes for the Week of Monday, September 19th

Relationship season begins on Friday when the Sun enters peace-seeking Libra, the sign of partnering. Greater consciousness of what it takes to make unions work is a potential benefit during the next thirty days. However, a provocative Mars-Uranus trine on Friday may trigger shocking surprises and powerful impulses that can shake existing alliances or break open the possibilities for very different kinds of new ones. Adaptability is essential during these changing times; standing still is no longer a viable option.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re ready to be your rowdy and rambunctious self this weekend when the Moon visits your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. Taking some playful risks is difficult to resist now that experimental Uranus is activating your passionate ruling planet Mars. It’s a good time to have fun without concerning yourself too much about long-term consequences.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be a little off your game on Friday and Saturday with the Moon traveling through your 6th House of Adjustments. However, making compromises can pay off on Sunday with a lunar shift into your 5th House of Romance. Creating specific plans for a special outing is likely to be rewarded with plenty of pleasure. Yet trying to improvise at the last minute could leave you feeling less appreciated than you like.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

There are plenty of good reasons to be as outgoing as possible this weekend. The Sun’s entry into your 5th House of Self-Expression on Friday sets you up to attract plenty of attention. And, the Moon’s presence in bold Leo and your chatty 3rd House on Friday and Saturday makes it easy to demonstrate your creativity and meet new people in the process. Your playful comments, though, may be taken seriously unless you make it perfectly clear that you’re only joking.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Making peace with the past is the best way to ensure a more fulfilling relationship future. The Sun enters harmonious Libra and your 4th House of Roots on Friday, offering you a completely different perspective on your personal history. Instead of running the gamut between high hopes and deep doubts, finding your inner emotional balance will put you in a much more comfortable place.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s presence in your outgoing and dramatic sign on Friday and Saturday can unleash your inner party animal. You’re not going to go unnoticed, even if you have to go to extremes to get attention. Still, if you act with reckless abandon, prepare to shift from public boldness to gentleness in private to create the heart connection you desire.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tempting to stand on the sidelines and find fault with others on Friday and Saturday. The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Privacy tends to make you feel like an outsider. But on Sunday the mood-setting Moon enters your pragmatic sign, giving you the green light for making a move. Just remember that an open heart and generous spirit are worth more than perfect looks or exemplary behavior.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Sun’s entry into your sociable sign on Friday is likely to put you in a more outgoing mood. Hanging out with playful friends or participating in a fun group event can really get your motor going on Friday and Saturday. Being the leader of the pack is certainly a good way to earn attention and respect, enabling you to show a more confident side of your personality which makes you more captivating to your admirers.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Of course, you can always find flaws when you look for them, but that’s a good way to sideline your social life this weekend. The Moon is in expressive Leo and your 10th House of Career on Friday and Saturday, which can put you in a position of responsibility. Handling your obligations with a playful attitude and a generous heart lightens your load and casts you in a bright spotlight of desirability.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your restless spirit is stoked for adventure with the Moon traveling through your 9th House of Faraway Places on Friday and Saturday. Connecting with someone from a different culture or experiencing art, food or music from other countries can provide the spice to make this a delicious time. If you have a partner, try doing something totally new together, since sticking to familiar activities lacks the excitement you need now.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Dealing with an overheating individual is possible this weekend with the fiery Leo Moon lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy on Friday and Saturday. While you might be right to be skeptical about someone who promises too much, it’s probably wise to open up a little bit in your approach. Taking chances may not be your usual practice, but when it comes to matters of the heart, this is a time to push your luck.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, July 3rd

We may feel as if a weight has been lifted from our shoulders now that the heavy Sun-Saturn square is beginning to wane. Nevertheless, unfulfilled responsibilities can nag at us until we live up to our commitments. Positive aspects from the playful Leo Moon can add to the upbeat energy of the day. However, we might be very distracted because this is the last day of attractive Venus’ visit to curious Gemini before she slips into emotional Cancer.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel lucky today and appear capable of turning nearly any situation into a good time. You don’t even have to do anything special; just showing up seems to make others smile. The biggest danger now can come from being overconfident since your positive attitude is not able to cure everything. Acknowledging your limitations upfront can prevent that embarrassing moment when you might have to admit that you’re really human, after all.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You prefer to keep your life simple yet you don’t want to give up on your long-term goals.

You really don’t like being pulled simultaneously in different directions, because it makes it tough to go along with the flow. Standing back from your dilemma enables you to find a solution.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

There is an uneasy dynamic between your anticipation of what’s next and your desire to hold on to the past. You could be moving faster than ever, but still cannot keep up with all the changes in your life. Nonetheless, even if you’re a bit overwhelmed, you might be okay with the uncertainty. Retreating from your hectic schedule is a wise strategy; you’ll be more effective if you wait a few days before pushing your agenda ahead again.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be experiencing the proverbial calm before the storm today, yet your fear of what could happen next might be more ominous than anything happening in your immediate future. This weekend can be a turning point, and your recent efforts should finally start to bear fruit. Be practical and prepare for the next round of change that is on the horizon.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your life becomes more complicated because you’re able to see the truth today, even if someone is trying to hide it from you. Your intuition makes it nearly impossible for you to be involved in superficial interactions now. You’re not interested in what others think of your ideas; they aren’t up for negotiation. But there’s no need to act self-righteously since it’s easier to get along with your friends if you acknowledge that there are many ways to look at a situation.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Acting brilliantly may be a lot simpler than you think today. Even if you can feel the pressure, there’s no need to jump through hoops to demonstrate your reliability. All you’re required to do now is to show up with your common sense intact. Let your intelligence shine through, but don’t try to solve every little problem that pops up.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you might not have reached your destination yet, you are, nonetheless, at the end of a road. Your current position is challenging because your sense of falling short may leave you feeling frustrated today. Thankfully, you can ease the tension by simply shifting your perspective. The emotional landscape has already started to change, yet there will be plenty of time to reach your goals once the path in front of you clears again.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have run out of patience when it comes to anything that isn’t already on your radar today. However, you still might become distracted if something interesting catches your eye. You could be annoyed with yourself if you succumb to following your whim instead of your schedule. Paradoxically, if you keep yourself on track, you still might wonder what you missed. In the long run, it’s more important to keep moving forward than wasting time worrying about which route to choose.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The fiery Leo Moon increases your vitality today, but having more stamina doesn’t mean that you’re invincible. Although you might believe that you have an inexhaustible energy supply, it’s not smart to take on more than you should. Unfortunately, looking to others won’t produce the clarity you seek; you’ll have to make decisions about what you can and cannot do on your own. If you overextend now, you’ll likely run into problems next week. Save your strength for next week when you will need it.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today you may be expected to manage a complex issue that involves a financial transaction, or you might just be feeling pressure from the lack of clarity in a business relationship. Either way, resolution will probably be delayed because you need more information. Nevertheless, you are enticed to make a decision before your time runs out. Don’t make an impulsive choice just because everyone thinks you should have already made up your mind. Wait until next week when you have more data at your disposal.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A friend expresses feelings that catch you off guard, complicating your relationship more than you want. You prefer keeping everything casual and on a rational basis because the energy is simpler to handle. But you can’t go back to the way things were unless you take a path of denial. Unfortunately, avoiding issues only makes them more difficult to handle. You can try downplaying the drama, but actively engaging in a constructive dialogue should help to reduce the complexity.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s challenging to distinguish the separate threads of truth now, for they have already been woven with a believable blend of fact and fiction. This complex tapestry entangles your imagination if you overanalyze the situation. Be careful, for your false sense of accuracy can trick you into making a decision based on an incorrect assumption. Instead of forcing the issue, just appreciate the moment. It should be easier to sort yourself out in a few days.
