Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Sept. 23

We may want to slow down the pace of life today so we can engage our senses more directly, rather than just rushing headlong into the next activity. It’s time to stop and smell the flowers now that the tactile Taurus Moon draws our attention toward physical experiences. Unfortunately, we could easily overindulge since excessive Jupiter is currently in the mix. However, throwing caution to the wind complicates emotional dynamics later in the day.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Handling unfinished financial business makes sense with the Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Money today, but you could mistakenly put effort into an unnecessary task if you don’t set clear priorities first. Establishing what is most important can turn a frustrating day into one of accomplishment. Concentrate on finishing one meaningful project instead of wasting your time on several things that won’t really matter in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You are wearing your heart on your sleeve for everyone to see today, even if you don’t want to share your emotions. Your reactions are more transparent to others now that the Moon is back in your 1st House of Appearances. However, your friends and associates might not fully understand your inner process, especially if things are more complicated than you wish. Although tempting, it’s not wise to leave out significant details just because it’s convenient in the moment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You seem to be as steady as a rock today, but your stability may be a result of withholding something that you aren’t ready to reveal. Normally, you’re eager to blurt out your thoughts but you’re likely to remain quiet now. Wait until you’re clear about your feelings; develop your ideas for another couple of days before divulging your plans. Fine tuning your strategy improves your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s likely that your ideas will continue to take shape over the next couple of days until a concrete plan materializes from the clouds of your imagination. Ironically, the Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes can solidify your plans as you put the pieces of your life together in a practical way, rather than just entertaining idle fantasies. Don’t be overly concerned if you can’t yet figure out how to reach your goals; somehow, all the pieces will fall into place just in time.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You aren’t interested in carefully tip-toeing around the truth today. If you see a direct path to your desired destination, you will likely do nearly anything to get there in a speedy manner. Unfortunately, other people may not be so quick to jump on board, requiring you to slow down to explain your plan point by point. Don’t automatically trust a new partnership now because it might be smarter to work by yourself for a while longer. Sometimes the only person you can really count on is yourself.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re quite comfortable sharing your thoughts now that the Moon is in your 9th House of Big Ideas because it’s easier to talk about the future possibilities rather than the present moment. Stay focused on the horizon; discussing your plans in vague generalities is more productive today than trying to guess what’s missing. You can always fill in the details later when you have more of the specifics at your disposal.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Untangling all the mixed signals may be challenging today, especially if you want to take the course of least resistance. Although you have common sense working in your favor now, you still could be overly serious about the current situation. Your need to be practical conflicts with an irrepressible yet irrational optimism, prompting you to quickly move past your concerns so you can truly enjoy the good times ahead. Concentrate on the present moment and take one step at a time.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You want to sink deeper into your subconscious as you explore the current possibilities in your life. But you might run into resistance if you expect a close friend to participate with you on your metaphysical journey. Others may express their willingness to join you, only to withdraw before the energy becomes too intense. Don’t worry; you’re better off traveling in these imaginative realms by yourself, anyway. Your friends will just have to wait to hear about your amazing adventures when you return.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Routine brings opportunities to think about your physical well-being and encourages you to do something proactive to improve your health. Making small improvements to your diet or exercise program can have positive consequences now as long as you don’t alter too much too fast. Small steps that lead to enduring change are more useful than grandiose gestures that only last a day or two. Taking care of your body ensures that you’ll have the energy later on when you want it.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are riding a highly creative wave as the emotional Moon washes through your 5th House of Self-Expression. Fortunately, the dependable Taurus Moon enables you to set a sustainable pace in the morning and then stick with it until you finish your chores. Thankfully, you should have time for play, too, making this a relatively pleasant day. Nevertheless, expansive Jupiter tempts you to take on more than you can complete, so don’t say yes unless you really mean it.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are likely to receive much-needed support from family members and close friends now that the Moon is hanging out in your 4th House of Roots. Although you appreciate their warm generosity, the assistance might not be what you need — even if others mean well. If you feel smothered by someone meddling in your affairs, express your concerns as kindly as possible. Count your blessings; there’s no reason to make your life more complicated by offending your allies. You’re lucky to have people in your life who care.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be swept right off your feet by other people’s agendas today because you think they need your help. Unfortunately, you could end up feeling like your assistance wasn’t very useful at all. Additionally, your own work could remain neglected. However, if you establish clear boundaries so you can fulfill your responsibilities early in the day, you’ll feel eager about jumping in to support someone else.

Calendar of the Sun

23 Halegmonath

Day of the Scales: Beginning of Libra
Colors: Pink, rose, white, and pastels
Element: Air
Altar: Drape with cloth in the day’s colors, and set with flowers, a crystal goblet of white wine, incense, feathers from any bird, a set of scales, a sword, and a pile of law books.
Offerings: Flowers. Anything beautiful or artistic. Beautify an area. Do something that is fair and just. Offer yourself for mediation for others.

Invocation to Libra

There are two sides to every scale,
The side of beauty and what is loved,
The side of fairness and what is just,
And it is a life’s work
To bring the two together.
You whose gift is Balance,
Bless us with harmony in every debate,
And help us see our views
Through the eyes of others.
By the power of all that bonds together,
You challenge us
To listen as much as we speak,
To speak as much as we listen,
To go back and forth in the dance of I and Thou.
May we all go forth in equality.

(Instead of a chant, all sing the song “Crane Dance”. One person who has been chosen to work the ritual goes among them, dispersing the flowers, and afterwards all will disperse the flowers about the house, so that they may be seen anywhere they walk.)

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 22nd

Love is serious business this week. Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus to Saturn in Scorpio suggests it’s time to move past any surface-level or lighthearted romantic ideology. The universe wants to know whether or not your love has what it takes to survive the depths of despair together. Staying together is easy when times are good, but the true test of a partnership happens during the bad times. Venus and Saturn together in Scorpio will symbolize a major awakening that revolves around the durability of your romantic bond — even through the darkness. Still, don’t assume that you’ll experience a rough patch with your mate. If you know your love is solid, this week appears to reinforce that. Venus will also be at a perfect sextile to Pluto, assuring that the more open you are to being vulnerable with your partner, the more transcendental your union can truly be.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Fearless communication will be the hallmark of your love life early in the week. On Tuesday, a gorgeous link between Mercury and Mars may prompt you to talk to your lover about sex. Is there a discrepancy between your respective needs in the bedroom? Do you have a fantasy that you’ve always wanted your mate to participate in? If so, this will be the time to speak up. Adding to the strong support of intimate conversation is Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus and Saturn in your 8th House of Shared Resources. Repressing deep sexual needs will only add tension to your relationship. It’s time to open up.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Things between you and your partner will likely come to a head this week. Saturn, the planet of limitation and tests, has been touring your 7th House of Relationships since October 2012. This signals a karmic cycle where any existing partnership may endure tests that help you to decipher how viable your relationship truly is. If you’ve been feeling the tension lately, Wednesday might be a turning point — for better or worse. Venus and Saturn will collide in your 7th House of Relationships. If you’re not feeling appreciated by your mate, you’ll make your feelings known.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you’re single and looking for love, this week will be the perfect time to ask someone out on a first date, or to indulge in some flirty communication! On Tuesday, Mercury, in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure, will be at a perfect sextile to Mars, in your 3rd House of Communication. This is your chance to make a bold statement to someone special and be confident that it’ll get you noticed! Most likely, it’ll be in a positive way, thanks to the added support of the Sun moving into your 5th House of Love and Pleasure by Sunday. Make love happen!

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Whether you’re in a relationship or not, matters of the heart are certain to weigh heavily on your mind this week. If you’re single, it’s possible that you’ll feel that extra pang of loneliness due to Wednesday’s connection of Venus to Saturn in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure. The lesson is not to resign yourself to negative, depressed notions of your love potential. Rather, now is the time for you to make a resolute declaration about what you will and won’t put up with in order to feel loved. If you’re attached, Venus and Saturn will both connect to Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships this week, offering the opportunity to give serious consideration to your commitment. Remember: We accept the love we think we deserve.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

These days, your love life and your family life might not exactly blend perfectly together. If you’re dating someone new and have recently brought your sweetheart to a domestic function, you may have the clear feeling that your lover and your clan aren’t hitting it off. This sticky situation might weigh heavily on you, particularly on Wednesday, as Venus and Saturn connect in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. The best thing you can do now is avoid trying to force the issue. That will only make someone you love feel alienated. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Transformation might stir up your deeper emotional side. Are you willing to really let love in?

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Speaking from the heart might not be as easy as you think, but when it comes to love it’s the only way. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will link up in your 3rd House of Communication, making it clear that whatever you convey about love is anything but superficial. If you’re feeling insecure about communicating your feelings to someone special, ask yourself why this is the case. What are you afraid of? Rejection is always the chance we take when we open our hearts, but if you’re not willing to take the risk, you’ll never experience the joy that love has to offer. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 7th House of Relationships amplifies the sensitive attention you’ll have in a partnership matter.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Ever-concerned about relationships and your place in them, Libra, these days you’re able to effectively communicate what you need in a union. This is a welcome change of pace, because you’re typically so concerned with what the other person requires, often at the cost of yourself. On Tuesday, Mercury in Libra will be at a fine angle to Mars, which gives courageous communication in a social, nonthreatening way. If single, you might reach out to someone new and initiate a conversation on a social media or Internet dating site. You have nothing to lose! In fact, with the Sun entering your sign on Sunday, all eyes will surely be on you.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A significant turning point in your love life is possible this week. You’re certainly not in the mood to play games, and if you suspect that your lover is, well, you’re just not having it. A sober conjunction between Venus and Saturn in Scorpio on Wednesday screams that you want to be taken seriously when it comes to love. You’re not the type who will settle for an arm candy relationship, and these days superficiality is an even greater turn off. On Thursday, a Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance will make it perfectly clear to your lover that if you can’t have it all, you’d rather have nothing.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The pangs of unrequited love may be especially harsh this week. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 12th House of Privacy — which is also associated with isolation and anxiety. With this combination, romantic feelings you have for someone that have clearly been restricted from expression might leave you more wistful than usual. Try not to spend the entire week moping over lost opportunity or regretting words that you may or may not have spoken to this person. Recognize that it’s time to move on. What’s meant to be yours will not pass you by.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Friendship and love are not two mutually exclusive relationships in your book — especially these days. With Venus traveling through your 11th House of Friends and Associations until October 7, you’ll pay careful attention to the level of camaraderie you have with a potential love interest. If there’s one particular friend you’ve had for ages, it’s possible that you’re fraught with romantic feelings for him or her. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 11th House of Friends and Associations and it may be time for you to take a deep breath and reveal your sentiments. Worrying about rejection or that it may change your friendship with this person is pointless now. Be honest with yourself: It already has.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your point of view may change this week, thanks to the influence of your partner. He or she may expose you to a previously unchartered philosophy, religion or other school of thought. If so, you’ll feel extremely stimulated by the newfound awareness. You’ll ask the big questions and will attempt to answer them together. The best part, however, is that you’re not as concerned about the answers as you are about the journey you’ll take that will lead you towards them. Lucky for you, your mate feels the exact same way. Enjoy the mental simpatico.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’ll be extra sensitive this week, thanks to Thursday’s Full Moon in your sign. You’ll be emotionally open, for sure, and extremely sentimental. This will translate into your love life as you’ll feel an even deeper yearning to share unconditional, soul-mate, fairy-tale romance with someone special. In fact, by Sunday, when the Sun enters your 8th House of Intimacy, you’ll be ready to share yourself completely with a lover. Body and soul. That’s the sexual experience you’ll crave. Luckily, now you’ve got every chance to capture it. If, however, you’re with someone who leaves your physical and spiritual cup empty, you might decide to make a change. Above all, be true to yourself.

Weekend Love Horoscopes

September 13-15: Fairy Tales and White Noise

Maria DeSimone    Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

This weekend’s realistic Moon in Capricorn on Friday and Saturday might lend more sobriety to romance than usual. The one saving grace, however, will be a gorgeous trine between Venus and Neptune on Saturday.  When the planet of love connects to the planet of inspiration, no amount of Capricorn weight will take away our faith in love.

In fact, the Moon will connect beautifully to both of these planets early on Friday, fortifying our belief that despite any hardships, the positive potential of love will prevail.

On Sunday, the Moon zips into quirky Aquarius and there will be strong potential for sudden communication from a partner. Mercury is now in relationship-oriented Libra and it will square Pluto on Saturday, but it will also move to oppose Uranus (the ruler of this Aquarian Moon) by late Sunday night. This sets up a difficult pattern in which it might be hard to listen to your mate. All you seem to hear is noise. Erratic decisions about a relationship are possible.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, September 12

Although we can see off into the distance today, it’s a struggle to balance our far-sightedness with our ability to focus on the current details. The globe-trotting Sagittarius Moon expands our horizons, enabling us to visualize an upcoming great adventure. However, the Moon’s dynamic square to the detail-oriented Virgo Sun heightens the conflicts that could teach us a lesson. Exploring beneath the surface may be enough to prevent a meltdown

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s surprising how quickly and easily a complex situation can resolve into a much simpler one. You might think that you’re out of the woods, but don’t fool yourself into believing you’re home free. Your current relief may largely result from the improving circumstances, but some denial could also contribute to your positive state of mind. Remember, avoiding an awkward issue feels good for a while, but it’s not the same thing as really fixing a problem

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Normally, you assume that you understand what’s going on because you instinctively trust your senses. But it’s difficult to settle down today because somehow you know more than you actually perceive. Logically, you can convince yourself not to take a leap of faith, but in your heart you still believe your intuition. Ultimately, you will feel more empowered once you open your mind and give yourself permission to dream.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be uncomfortable with your feelings and might attempt to hide them from someone close to you, but this doesn’t mean that you are antisocial today. Paradoxically, your easygoing banter could encourage others to believe that you are being more revealing now than you actually are. Even if you are clever enough to fool everyone else, be careful about going so far that you also fool yourself. What you share is up to you; just make sure you know where to draw the line.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your sweeping vision is easily communicated to others today. Your associates at work are eager to place their trust in you because it seems as if your feet are placed solidly on the ground. But you may not be as sensible now as you appear. It’s best to be honest and let others know that there are still a lot of details missing from your plan. It’s more important to be real than to sound as if you have all the answers. Collaborating with others enhances your chances for success.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you’re likely to take the high road today, you’re still itching to make a statement about something that bothers you. Fortunately, you can ward off negativity by concentrating on your spiritual beliefs instead of being sabotaged by your own emotions. But the power of positive thinking alone isn’t enough to permanently put things back in order. You will have to follow up with decisive actions or your good intentions will be for naught.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Even if you’re stressing over significant issues, ultimately they won’t matter all that much in the long run. You want to resolve a conflict, but the specifics of the situation are not as important as you may be led to believe. Too much information could make you anxious because you want to focus on the bigger picture. Unfortunately, it’s always a challenge for you to let go of the details. Taking the time to relax or meditate allows you to put your worries into proper perspective.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have high hopes about accomplishing many things today, but you may be unrealistic in your expectations. Your current ability to complete your list of ambitious chores is complicated by a louder-than-usual creative buzz that you don’t want to waste. Naturally, you would rather be artsy and crafty, but now you might just have to fulfill your responsibilities before you follow your muse.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Maintaining a high level of integrity is essential to you, yet it’s challenging to convince everyone else to go along with your priorities today. Each person that is involved with you and your work has a different idea about what is necessary. Unfortunately, others may be unwilling to listen to what you have to say now, complicating your efforts. Nevertheless, staying focused on your final goal allows them to join in with their support when they are ready.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your flexible attitude is an asset today, yet your ability to adapt doesn’t mean that you’re wishy-washy. In fact, if someone at work pushes you too hard, you may become quite stubborn in your defense of your job performance. But don’t allow your ego to convince you that it’s okay to tell others what to do. Instead, encourage each person to find his or her own unique way. Give everyone else the same freedom that you want in return.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Getting over your fears is hard work, but reality is offering you a special opportunity to learn how to deepen your trust now in all things that are beyond your five senses. The veil between worlds has grown thinner and you may see visions now, even when your eyes are closed. Usually you do well when you rely strictly on the facts; today, you’ll perform even better if you put your imagination to work, too.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Messages may pop into awareness in symbolic form today and you might have to step out of your comfort zone to receive them. Pay careful attention to your friends and associates for clues. They will be guiding you now, even if they seem to have nothing to say. However, you have to listen with your heart to hear what’s going on beneath the surface. Recognizing the limitations of language empowers you to see the potential everywhere you look.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are traveling on automatic pilot today as you express your desire to take care of others. But this isn’t about any sort of verbal disclosure on your part; rather it’s more about what you actually do. You’re not interested in discussing your life intentions now. Stop thinking and initiate direct action before you talk yourself out of a perfectly fine strategy. He who hesitates is lost.

Venus in Scorpio (September 11 to October 7, 2013)

Venus in Scorpio

The love planet sizzles in scorching Scorpio

Tarotcom Staff     Tarotcom Staff on the topics of venus, scorpio, love, astrology

It’s getting hot in here! Why? After a lovely time in Libra, love planet Venus moves into sizzling Scorpio from September 11 to October 7, 2013.

While Venus in Libra was all about making relationships peaceful and balanced, Venus in Scorpio will heat things back up to a boiling point. That’s because intense Scorpio wants to dig deep and reveal the truth about everything — including relationships.

This is a time when you and your partner will start getting to the root of your relationship, and issues of suspicion and jealousy could arise. If you want some advice on how to proceed during this time, get a Love Celtic Cross Tarot reading to help you stay cool if it gets too hot.

And realize, you won’t just be questioning each other during this time — you may also begin to question yourself and what you really want.

Scorpio shines a light into the shadows, so those nagging thoughts you tend to push aside are impossible to ignore with Venus in Scorpio. If a relationship issue has been bothering you, but you’ve been putting it aside to make peace — no more. Now it will come into focus and force you to act.

Venus in Scorpio is pretty heavy, but it can be truly amazing, too. All this intensity leads to more intimacy, so if you’re up for the challenge both emotionally and physically you could find this a deeply moving and sexy time that brings you and your partner much closer together.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 10th

Yesterday’s struggles with authority figures continue today as we seek ways to change our tactics without compromising our integrity. The fixed Scorpio Moon won’t let us acquiesce, but we may encounter complicated interpersonal dynamics as the Moon forms stressful aspects with intense Pluto and disruptive Uranus. It might feel as if the time to find true love is running out because romantic Venus leaves relationship-oriented Libra tomorrow.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Finding a perfect balance between being your own person and being what others want can be a real challenge. Although your diplomatic skills may be well honed, turning on the charm today isn’t quite as effective as you wish. Your romantic inclinations are also running on the hot side and if you don’t cool yourself down, you might stir up some uneasy feelings on the way to obtaining what your heart desires. Channel your passion into a creative pursuit, instead.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you might take a cautious approach to relationships now, your concerns won’t be sufficient to prevent your inner radiance from shining. You often warm to others slowly, but after you befriend someone your loyalty is legendary. However, you’re ready to jump into the fray and make a new friend today without going through your regular song and dance. Just express yourself naturally and you’ll surely find a groove that works.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re feeling extra lucky today, but others don’t seem to take notice — even if you bend the rules a bit to tilt the odds in your favor. If anyone looks closely enough, they might better appreciate that your success stems from your extra effort, not just happenstance. Don’t get too cocky, for circumstances can change quickly when you become overly pleased with your own cleverness. Remember that humility is more appealing than hubris.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might be very pleased with the richness of your life today, yet you may feel vulnerable because of strong emotional undercurrents which are out of your control. Others won’t likely notice what you are hiding because you’re very skilled at playing the shell game. However, clamming up is not your best strategy now. Sharing your fears with a loved one can keep your thoughts from stagnating as the waters continue to swirl around you.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It may appear to others that you are dissatisfied with your current situation. It’s true; you could be a bit irritable today, but it’s probably not because of anything specific that’s occurring in your life. In fact, you might actually like what’s happening now, even if you’re having a hard time keeping your feelings in line. You get edgy when your emotions and your actions are not in harmony with each other. Don’t make any sudden changes; simply being more aware of your internal conflict will help it resolve over time.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Even if you’re in touch with both your positive and negative feelings today, others may see you as mostly personable and easygoing. Your charm is flowing easily now, rather than the contracted fear you might experience when you’re confused. Your natural tendency is to move into the practical realms to gain control, but you are better off just mentally wandering for a while until your mind plays through all the possibilities.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are so busy these days that you’re motivated to seek ways to bring your life into a healthier balance. However, the current danger is that you can gloss over awkward details in your rush to get everything done. There are mixed signals coming your way, yet you still may strive to be sweet, even if your feelings are more intense. Don’t spend too much time attempting to hide the darker feelings. Others will appreciate your honesty more than you think.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is a wonderful potential to indulge your senses today, even if fantasy plays a strong part in a pleasurable experience. You may feel like you’re on top of the world, getting a chance to express your passionate side without experiencing the negativity that sometimes follows. The only price you might pay for feeling safe is the regret over a desire not expressed. Don’t miss this opportunity to open your heart and widen your horizons.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your dreams have an excellent chance to manifest now if you incorporate the widest spectrum of life into your overall perspective. Although you are often ready to consider new possibilities when planning your future, you might be pleasantly surprised with the amazing experiences you can have now if you keep your options open. Take a risk and expand your mind to include what you previously excluded. You’ll be richer in spirit for your efforts.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are feeling somewhat constrained today, but working within a solid framework gives you a comforting sense of security. Rules are welcome news from the cosmos, since you like it when your structures are strong enough that you can build upon them. Don’t hold back; you have powerful tools at your disposal now. Fortunately, using your energy for the good of all is also beneficial to you in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The pace of your life is settling down enough for you to temporarily take charge of your career. You have been riding the tides of change, but now the stress created by the incoming waves is clearing the way for new and better goals. Keep your eyes on the future, even if your nerves are rattling with uncertainty. Ironically, practicing patience helps you reach your desired destination in record time.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s easy to grow discouraged today if everything doesn’t go your way. You might even blame your frustration on something that happened yesterday. Fortunately, you could receive an energetic boost out of the blue that sets you off in a new direction. However, resisting change leads to stagnation. Don’t hold on to previous expectations. Your chances for success are enhanced if you gracefully roll with the incoming waves and adapt to the shifting currents.

In addition, there will be an extra sweet connection between Venus and Neptune on Saturday, promising a love connection that blends body and soul.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Expect your week to start out with a thud in matters of the heart. On Monday, Mars (now in Leo) will clash with Saturn, creating an energetic stalemate. You might lose your sex drive or find that your mojo is temporarily challenged. Thankfully, all will be well by Wednesday and Thursday, when the Moon will be in your 5th House of Romance. You’ll have an extra sweet ability to remain emotionally open, which will capture the heart of anyone you set your sights on.

The week may start out slow when it comes to love, but the universe is saving the best for your weekend — assuring plenty of romantic fun will come your way.

This week you’ll turn into a masterful conversationalist. On Monday, Mercury will enter Libra and you’ll find it easier than ever to communicate about yourself until September 29.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Starting Wednesday, all eyes will be on you. In fact, you might find that others are so mesmerized that it borders on obsession up until October 7. Venus will move into your sign, which is a once-a-year trend that makes you the “fairest one of all.” In addition to helping improve your inner and outer beauty, Venus will help you attract romantic potential — whether you’re single or attached! Look forward to Saturday, when Venus trines Neptune in your 5th House of Romance. On this day, someone’s kiss will bring you to your knees!

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

When Venus quietly enters your 12th House of Discretion on Wednesday, your love life will quickly go from a public to private event. You might need to take time alone in order to reflect on your feelings for someone until October 7, or to think about a current romantic entanglement. You might also find that you’re pining away for someone you know you can never truly be with. Unrequited love — past or present — might leave you raw and vulnerable. It’s ok to fantasize about a potential lover, but don’t allow yourself to drown in a sea of unrealistic expectations.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This week might start off slowly when it comes to romantic potential, but by the weekend you’ll surely feel as if you’ve got your mojo back! On Wednesday, Venus will enter your 11th house of friends and groups, where she’ll remain until October 7. During this stretch of time you’ll find plenty of opportunity for love in social settings. Be sure to attend parties, events or meetings that will allow you to mingle with new people. A friend might introduce you to someone special, or you might consider entertaining amorous feelings for a pal. There is no right or wrong here. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The business side of love will dominate your week. Although this may sound unromantic, if you’re in a committed partnership the two of you might actually make significant advancement in the daily grind of your life together. Expect a roadblock to action on Monday as Mars in your 7th House of Relationships squares off with stabilizing Saturn. Facing the limitations and obligations inherent in your relationship with courage will be necessary. Once you do this, however, great strides are possible.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your love life may become an international affair starting this Wednesday. If single, it’s possible that you’ll fall for someone who is from a different race, religion or culture than you. The differences will be what attract the two of you to each other, and you’ll adore experiencing a whole new world through your lover’s eyes. If you are attached, it’s possible that between Saturday and October 7 you and your sweetheart will take an exotic vacation together. Make it count!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 10th

Easy does it. Yesterday’s Mars-Saturn clash of the titans has not disappeared entirely and a new threat to peace and serenity is on the horizon as Mars is approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with secretive Pluto. Plus, what seems like a supportive, 60-degree contact between the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Virgo (2:22AM) is somewhat illusory because this aspect begins a 21+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone until 11:37PM.  Strive to mellow out completely while the Moon is in strange territory. Avoid emotional and mental fatigue as Venus squares off with Pallas (4:06PM). Hold off on questionable business decisions with Venus parallel to Saturn (5:17PM). The big chill can influence unstable romantic relationships.  Just before the Moon ends its void-of-course cycle by entering fiery Sagittarius (11:37PM), Venus leaves the friendly sign of Libra for potentially adversarial Scorpio (11:17PM) — a cycle that lasts until October 7. The universe is still rocking and rolling four minutes after the lunar entry into Sagittarius as Mars in Leo forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pluto (11:41PM). Projecting angry feelings on unsuspecting loved ones is a no-no. Egocentric, self-serving attitudes bite the dust. Be a Rock of Gibraltar for the truly needy.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 8

Equilibrium is elusive today as sudden blasts of information from beyond our outer limits zap us. Unfortunately, even the fair-minded Libra Moon fails to give us perspective as a parade of complex alignments distracts us from our positive approach. Tense aspects from communicator Mercury require us to process internal conflicts between head and heart. The Moon’s shift into pointed Scorpio at 9:44 pm EDT forces us to make up our minds.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Breaking free from the restraints that hold you back is complicated if you keep running into more obstacles. It could feel like a losing battle, because each problem you solve today quickly turns into two more. The harder you push to tie up the loose ends, the more things seem to tangle up. Fortunately, it’s not nearly as hopeless as it might appear at first. Back off a bit and don’t try so hard; some of the resistance may be of your own creation.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

There is a strong emphasis on your work today, but an unaddressed emotional issue might prevent you from accomplishing your goals. You are bumping up against an awkward energy that isn’t easy to engage because it’s not aimed directly at you. Nevertheless, don’t participate in petty disagreements, because they won’t improve your current situation. Fly under the radar now and do what you must, without attracting too much attention to yourself. Your low-key approach won’t go unappreciated by those who matter.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your life may be noisy today as tensions become obvious and there seems to be no way around an unpleasant situation. But, of course there is a viable path, especially because circumstances continue to change throughout the day. You still might be sorting out your feelings by the evening, but the problem itself could very well be in the past. Your discomfort will pass if you let your emotions run their course without interference from your analytical mind.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be on a slow-motion collision course today with a lover, partner or friend. Although you might attempt to avoid a confrontation, it’s healthier to face the music and just get it over with. There could be very real disagreements over fundamental issues, and the more you talk about them, the more complicated they become. Nevertheless, stick with it. It’s always darkest right before the dawn; a breakthrough can happen when you least expect it.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You want to share your crazy plans now that trickster Mercury is playing a major role in the picture. However, the mental agitation is annoying, preventing you from enjoying an exchange that might normally be quite pleasant. Although you’re yearning to break free from your routine, the pressure of responsibility will likely restrain you for a while. You must follow through on your previous commitments. Don’t worry; you will get your chance for change soon enough.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A fantastic idea may become problematic as you bog down in the execution, especially if it involves home or family issues. If you don’t think through the consequences of an off-the-cuff remark, you might need to deal with the aftermath sooner than you think. Although this is not ultimately a difficult day, you still probably have to work harder than usual just to keep things moving in a healthy direction. Remember, your positive attitude makes all the difference in the world.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re in your power now and you might even be surprised by the current intensity, but you are equipped to handle nearly any brewing storm. The next few days may seem like the kind of exam that you can’t study for; nevertheless, paying attention to the signs can tilt the scales in your favor. Don’t try to hold on to the status quo. Let the uncertainties lead you through the transformation ahead without dwelling on any irrational fears. Follow your intuition with confidence and everything will be alright.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sometimes you sound like you know everything because you often do understand more than others. However, it’s most helpful to admit what you don’t know before you find yourself in over your head. There may be many loose ends to tie up, so it could be useful to have assistance. Don’t pretend that you have it all together now unless you actually do. You have less to prove than you might think and more to gain if you’re willing to ask for help.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It seems as if you already did all the steps possible to further your career; unfortunately, something still isn’t quite right. Perhaps you overlooked a tiny detail that grows bigger as the day progresses. Maybe someone throws a wrench into the gears of time and you’re not prepared for what happens next. You’re able to take it all in stride if you have done your homework. But, if you haven’t prepared wisely, your plan can fall apart and you will need to make it right before moving on.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be judged for what you say or what you write, even if your ideas are sound. Your concepts could even be brilliant now, but as you act on your thoughts, something may not work as imagined. Revise your thinking based upon your experience. If you assume you know it all, you don’t. However, you have what it takes if you are open to change — and others can’t help but notice your positive attitude.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone at work may give you a hard time today, but having an external reason to practice self-discipline is exactly what you need at this time. However, the resistance you face could be troublesome if you are the methodical type; a disturbed routine might make you less efficient for a while. But once you adapt to your new pace, you will feel re-energized and more enthusiastic about your future.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 3rd

The dark-of-the-moon or Balsamic Phase of the Sun-Moon energy-field starts coming into play today and tomorrow as the next New Moon occurs on Thursday morning. When the Moon enters its extreme waning phase, physical vitality can decrease and there is a collective vibration that tunes people into completing ventures and enterprises that started around four weeks ago.  Even though confusing, chaotic vibrations were more of the rule rather than the exception last night — due to Mars moving 150-degrees to Neptune — there is some improvement across the board this morning as the Moon in Leo approaches a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Venus in Libra (10:53AM). During the few hours just before this alignment becomes precise, you can soar like an eagle in the fine and graphic arts, on the social horizon or in romance. However, once the Moon and Venus consecrate their 60-degree connection at 10:53AM, the Moon enters a void twilight zone that lasts for 16+ hours until 3:45AM tomorrow.  Despite the presence of the void Moon and the unsettled conditions that often result, the annual Sun-Chiron polarity takes place from Virgo to Pisces (12:15PM). Learn more about advances on the holistic healing and alternative medical fronts. Read up on the esoteric foundations of ancient civilizations and cultures the modern world has conveniently forgotten. Don’t be surprised if hidden feelings about childhood wounds and pains rise to surface. Deja vu experiences and mental telepathy are often on the upswing when the solar orb illuminates Chiron.  Gear up for shocks to the system, surprises or unusual events coming out of left field as the Sun forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with radical-change agent Uranus (5:29PM). Stability and peace of mind can disappear when this type of celestial aspect is dominant. Watch out for waves of anxiety that may try to drown you in a fit of nervous tension.  Focus attention on strengthening sisterhood ties as the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta (10:26PM). Read more about economic markets and investment strategies.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, September 2

We are motivated to express our feelings in a bold and beautiful way today, yet an early morning Mars-Neptune aspect may have us floating aimlessly in space for a while. Meanwhile, the theatrical Leo Moon encourages drama. A combative Mercury-Mars alignment could turn things aggressive as buried tensions rise to the surface, setting the stage for the possibility of conflict. Expecting the unexpected is a smart idea, but isn’t always easy to do.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are enthusiastic about your future prospects, yet as soon as you make your move, the energy begins to disperse. The problem is that you must figure out where you want to go before your new path is revealed. Nevertheless, this doesn’t lessen the likelihood of a significant shift. Something’s going to change; you just need to decide what. Adopting a proactive approach enables you to be in charge of the direction you take.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may have to respond to an unexpected twist of fate, testing your confidence. But this unscheduled hiccup isn’t necessarily negative, for you can turn an upsetting situation into one that is quite enjoyable. Still, you probably won’t know where the day will take you, even if you have a well-developed plan in place. Don’t worry if things fall apart; they will reorganize into something better in the next few days. Embrace the chaos as a vehicle for creating positive change.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your concern over losing independence is triggered now that new responsibilities are weighing heavily on you. Unfortunately, you are probably more scattered than usual, so find somewhere to sit alone in a quiet place to reclaim your center. This little exercise to eliminate some of the extraneous noise in your life can turn your day around. Thankfully, you may be pleasantly surprised how easy it is once you remove the unnecessary distractions.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Facing an unusual set of circumstances is not your idea of a fun-filled day. Others, it seems, are not playing the current game according to your rules. Although confusion might not seem like a source of happiness, an unplanned detour could bring additional freedom that enables you to respond in new ways. Trusting your intuition can help you stabilize the imbalanced situation and save the day.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A bit of confusion now isn’t as worrisome as it seems at first. You are on a creative roll, so keep your eyes wide open so you can recognize the truth when you see it. It doesn’t matter whether or not information is coming from totally unexpected quarters. You are being shown an extreme solution to a problem that doesn’t have a normal way out. Take a leap of faith and fly.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your dilemma is that logic and practicality won’t fix anything now, which doesn’t make you happy one bit. After all, you are itching for a dramatic transformation. Tread carefully because there is irrepressible movement stimulating tension within a relationship. If you attempt to withhold your energy, it could be awkwardly expressed by someone else. It’s better, of course, when change originates from your heart.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are considered to be a champion of harmony and grace, but you might not feel so accommodating today. Expect sudden shifts of energy, even if you have trouble putting your finger on the source. If someone suggests an idea that you can’t immediately wrap your mind around, don’t judge it too quickly. Let the thought unfold completely before you dismiss it as crazy. It’s crucial to remain open to radical change and a new perspective offers you a chance to build something real and lasting.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends might seem rather rigid in their thinking today, possibly pushing you to lose your temper and yell loudly as you try to wake them up to the truth. Even if you are thinking about the sacrifices you made and the freedom you gave up, don’t try to force others to see things your way. Concentrate on the dynamics of what’s happening and don’t focus on any one particular outcome. Keeping your options open helps others to do the same.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be chasing a rainbow today, only to see it reappear over the next hill again and again. You have grown weary of the disappointments and frustrations and are reaching another fork in the road. You want to make something happen right away and you’re eager to go where you’ve never gone. Change is in the air; initiating bold action greatly improves your chances of finding the pot of gold.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Escaping the stress is nearly impossible if you insist on your world being neat and tidy with everything under control. However, seeking the safety of stable structures isn’t an option today. Whatever you have relied on in the past is now shifting. Fortunately, once you move beyond your fear of the unknown, you may find your journey quite exhilarating. Free your mind and enjoy the ride.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your life feels unsettled today, yet something may happen that helps to facilitate the changes you want. A close friend or partner might demand your assistance, even if you can’t deliver what’s needed. Instead of stressing about an impossible situation, explain your limited availability as objectively as you can. Although you could have to manage someone else’s disappointment, a compassionate approach should smooth over any ruffled feathers along the way.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are usually willing to go along with the changing tides, even if permanent shifts don’t always come easily to you. However, you have a wonderful opportunity now to alter your direction if you can remain adaptable to the current situation. You inspire others with your faith, especially if you aren’t afraid of taking radical action at the right time. Remember, it’s the dramatic gestures that will have the most impact today.

Your Daily Humorscopes for Sunday, September 1

The Daily Humorscopes

For

Sunday, September 1

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

After spending days learning to simultaneously pat your head and rub your tummy, you will move on today to patting your head and rubbing someone else’s tummy.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You will find a strangely heavy small gold ring today, embedded in the center of an obviously volcanic rock. There is some writing, in a script unlike any you’ve ever seen, running around the ring, although you can’t really see it unless you heat it up in a fire…

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Everyone you see will be “power walking” today. Ignore them — they’re just trying to get on your nerves.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Beware! The Celestial Jade Emperor may banish you to the Big Grumpy Place if you don’t start paying more attention to the four Winds. Obviously, this is a metaphor, somehow involving Cleveland.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You will walk into a door frame today, and people will smirk. Remember though, they’re smirking with you, not at you.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your neighbors’ will have a wild party, which you’ll catch glimpses of through the open window. You’ll know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just hard to imagine how people can do that, especially on a trampoline.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Avoid yodeling today.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It’s about time you became better acquainted with mustard. Get yourself 7 different kinds of mustard, and try them with oven baked home fried potatoes, or in sandwiches with good bread and fresh vegetables and some excellent Swiss cheese. My granddaddy Stonebender always used to say “Take a big enough bite of strong mustard, and your other problems will seem insignificant.”

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Someone will turn a cold shoulder to you, and your feelings will be hurt. You’ll get even by turning a tepid elbow to them, later. Just don’t let it escalate to the blazing ankles stage, is all.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, is the rule for now. In fact, “nothing” will play a very large part in your future.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

You will soon need to look older than you actually are. Bushy eyebrows generally do the trick. You’ll find that a little rubber cement and a pair of sleepy hamsters are just what you need.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’ve been thinking about stealing, to support your phonics habit. It’s time for you to seek professional help.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 26th

We long for peace and quiet today, but the simplistic Taurus Moon isn’t enough to alleviate the cosmic tension that is agitating our lives. Romantic Venus in pleasure-seeking Libra opposes uncontainable Uranus in spontaneous Aries, encouraging reckless behavior that can upset the status quo. However, we still may be confused about what to do or say because the willful Sun and chatty Mercury are engaged in a tug-of-war with surrealistic Neptune.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you have responsibilities to fulfill today, it’s difficult to resist creating a bit of mischief, instead. You want to take a risk and break out of your normal routine, even if you realize self-indulgence isn’t the smartest course of action now. You may attempt to justify your behavior, yet your current judgment might not be very clear. Ask a trusted friend for a different perspective before doing something you will later regret. Following your whims is fine as long as no harm comes to others.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You feel as if you’re wired for pleasure today since your ruling planet Venus opposes electric Uranus. Nevertheless, your intense desires might create an emotional short circuit if you think that satisfaction is out of reach. Your fantasies may be quite unrealistic, but it really doesn’t matter if you believe in your daydreams or not. You don’t need to follow through with every wish. What’s important now is to give yourself permission to imagine what would bring you happiness if anything was possible.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may hope to float through the day on a cloud of romantic illusions, but an unexpected event can shock you out of your reverie. Even if you quickly adapt to a change of plans, you still might overlook the significance of what is happening. Although you could be surprised by what you learn, it’s still wise to contemplate what the cosmos is attempting to tell you. Taking time to interpret your dreams reveals secrets you could otherwise miss.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Someone’s reaction to your request at work today might not be what you expect; however, you can take nearly anything in stride with the right attitude. At first, you may be anxious because you don’t want to confront the unknown, but you’re relieved to learn the truth now, even if it catches you off guard. Don’t let your subconscious motivations mislead you into pushing the information away; integrate the new data and alter your plans as needed before moving on.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are super excited about someone or something new in your life now, but you’re afraid that your current enthusiasm won’t last. You may be overly cautious about letting completely go and enjoying yourself because you believe that your sense of freedom will quickly be restrained by limiting circumstances. Change is inevitable, but worrying about the future doesn’t have to interfere with today’s pleasures. Enjoy the present moment while it lasts.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be surprised by someone’s selfish behavior today and you could even be offended by people’s lack of compassion. Rational analysis won’t help you to understand their actions because logic is not the motivating factor now. Unexplainable changes are to be expected if tension is stressing a relationship. But don’t over-analyze anyone’s motives; simply respond with kindness and honesty. The storm will pass quickly if you keep your heart open and remain flexible in your thinking.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Previously hidden desires may float to the surface today. Your key planet Venus is visiting your 1st House of Self and her opposition to unorthodox Uranus in your 7th House of Relationships can uncover something about your partner that you didn’t previously know. But rather than waiting for anyone to surprise you with an unexpected revelation, take the initiative and be an agent of change, yourself. Embrace the shift proactively instead of resisting it.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You would like to let go of old expectations once and for all and express your current feelings spontaneously today as creative Venus opposes progressive Uranus in your 5th House of Romance. Unfortunately, you might not know exactly what you want. Your emotions are slippery now, making it difficult to choose any one course of action. Nevertheless, you have an amazing opportunity to learn something important about love if you’re willing to relinquish control and go with the flow.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You wish a friend or partner would make a straightforward decision today, but the clarity you seek may continue to be elusive. Instead of receiving a yes or no answer now, you’re required to live with someone’s uncertainty. However, it’s likely that other people’s ambivalence might simply be a reflection of your own, even if you believe that you already made your choice. Don’t push for resolution since it will take time for all the facts to fully emerge. A little patience gives inspiration a chance to strike.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want to gather as much useful information as you can today, since you might mistakenly believe that the solution to your current dilemma is in having all the facts. Unfortunately, you may be in a hurry now, allowing you to make a wrong assumption and jump to an incorrect conclusion that’s based on your desires. Acknowledge what you want, but be smart and postpone any major decision until your energy settles down. Your path should begin to clear in just a few days, bringing success within your reach.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your craving for connection pushes you one way today, while your need for independence pulls you another. You may long for more intimacy in your everyday life, yet still keep others at an arm’s length if you’re afraid of losing your autonomy. Thankfully, a sudden breakthrough in your awareness can zap your heart open and instantaneously intensify the dynamics of a relationship. If lightning strikes, set aside practicalities and be flexible enough to fully engage the magic of the moment.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your perspective on a close relationship could be challenged today, making you weary of the familiar tensions you feel. You don’t want to argue with your partner over another misunderstanding; nor do you want to waste energy justifying your desires. Your needs are simple now; you just want your heartfelt disclosure to be heard and acknowledged. Avoid ultimatums; just share what you need in a gentle manner and then be patient. The dynamics are shifting quickly and you just may receive what you want.

All About Virgo

All About Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Virgo

by Tarotcom Staff

Virgo rhymes with “Oh no,” which is what you’ll hear them cry when things aren’t perfect. Virgo is a smart and practical Earth sign, ruled by mental Mercury and symbolized by the Virgin — not necessarily because Virgo is prudish, but rather because they are highly discriminating.

Virgo is hardworking, detail-oriented and quite critical, with an uncanny analytical gift for seeing what’s wrong with people, situations and their surrounding environment. This perfectionism makes Virgo valuable to have around, but also sometimes uncomfortable to be around if they turn their critical eye on you.

More than anything, Virgo is a loving, loyal and true friend you can always count on.

What we love about Virgo

You can always count on Virgo to come through for you in a pinch, and they have a surprisingly keen sense of humor.

Why Virgo drives us nuts

Virgo’s perfectionism can sometimes be negative, and it can lead them to become too critical of others. They also have a tendency to be passive-aggressive.

Virgo advice

Loosen up every once in a while. No one is perfect, not even you!

Most compatible matches

Sincere Virgo is a great match for emotional Pisces and like-minded Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn.

Least compatible matches

Earthy, practical Virgo is least compatible with breezy Air signs, including eccentric Aquarius, erratic Gemini and changeable Libra.

People born on the cusp share common traits from two different zodiac signs.
