Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 16

Relationships could be all over the place this week as warrior Mars in diplomatic Libra is rocked with enthusiasm on Monday and Tuesday, before mistrust and suspicion sneak in to steal the show. A desire to flee difficult challenges or embrace new experiences is likely as shocking Uranus and provocative Pluto crank up the energy prior to the late night hypersensitive Cancer New Moon. Thankfully, sobering planetary influences start to cool off the emotional drama by Saturday morning as we seek calmer companionship and quieter times under a thoughtful Virgo Moon.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions could run to extremes this week with your passionate planet Mars triggering rapid changes of mood. But if you can ride out the storm, you might land in a happier place that surprises you with a newfound sense of freedom and excitement. Just note that sticking to your commitments is likely to be the key to harmony this weekend when little acts of consideration earn you trust and affection.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s some magic waiting to happen this weekend with the earthy Virgo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance on Saturday and Sunday. The key to finding romance is to stretch your usual social boundaries, express yourself more openly and explore how to play the game of love in different ways. Maintaining your sense of humor makes it possible for you to try new things without the fear of looking foolish.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Healthy relationships rely on open communication, but it’s especially important to be thoughtful about what you say this week. A desire to express yourself more honestly is fine if you are sensitive as to how your message will be received. It’s wiser to avoid delicate subjects now unless you’re sure that the situation truly calls for it. Keeping your thoughts to yourself or engaging in light chatter is preferable to revealing too much and inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings in the process.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A New Moon in your nurturing sign on Wednesday night intensifies your feelings and increases your commitment to take charge of your personal life. Negotiations are necessary and patience is required to iron out the important details essential for making a partnership work. The weekend is excellent for doing some rational thinking that helps you discuss emotional issues in a clear-headed manner.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Memories of love gained and lost may well up from the past with the sentimental Cancer New Moon falling in your reflective 12th house in the middle of the week. It’s appropriate to review previous relationship experiences before you get a fresh wave of energy when the Sun enters your colorful sign on Sunday. Finishing off old business clears the decks, making it possible to move your life in a more fulfilling direction.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s presence in your sign this weekend encourages you to wear your heart on your sleeve and others can’t help but notice. Yet you may be overly sensitive on Saturday afternoon when dreamy Neptune washes away logic with an overdose of emotion or a taste for fantasy. This won’t be a problem if you’re enjoying the company of a tender person or engaging in an inspiring activity. Just don’t leave common sense behind in your hunger for intimacy.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Passionate Mars in your sign gives you more drive and the ability to take the lead in relationships. A push from optimistic Jupiter starts Tuesday with enthusiasm, but Mars’ tough aspects to disruptive Uranus later that day and to provocative Pluto on Wednesday can spur surprises and trigger conflict. Don’t let a crisis of the moment turn into a major war unless you’re ready to tear your relationship life apart so you can build a new one.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feisty ruling planet Mars is kicking up a storm this week, provoking sudden bursts of energy and unexpected behavior. Your reactions could be out of proportion to the events that trigger them, so keep a check on feelings and avoid impulsive actions. On the plus side, you might be motivated to change your attitude about love and adjust your expectations about relationships. Take notes, learn, and ponder before making a major move.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sensitivity in your relationships becomes a major issue with the tender Cancer New Moon falling in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. This is a gentle cosmic reminder that intimacy blossoms when you feel safe and secure. Showing that you care and expecting the same of others comes from growing more at ease in vulnerable situations. It’s possible to express your needs without appearing needy, making you even more endearing to others.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Relationships take an emotional turn now with a mid-week Cancer New Moon landing in your 7th House of Partners. Feelings are more important than logic in this delicate environment, so don’t let your head get in the way of your heart. There’s a place for reason, but not when it comes before responding to the needs of the one you love. By the same token, you also can benefit from some emotional support and a little tender, loving care.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your urge for independence could explode with impulsive behavior on Wednesday. Irrepressible Mars opposes your spontaneous ruling planet Uranus to shake up and wake up your personal life. You should be ready to break your patterns and move in a new direction so that you can start exploring fresh forms of fun. It’s helpful, though, to give yourself a chance to experiment for a while instead of making any major decisions too soon.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The caring Cancer New Moon on Wednesday night sets your heart sailing on hopeful waters. Saturday could turn out to be magical with an afternoon opposition of the Moon to your inspiring planet Neptune, dissolving barriers with others. While a profound, maybe even spiritual, connection is a potential reward, there’s also a risk of projecting your fantasies on the wrong person. What you see and feel may not be what you get unless you add a small dose of logic to the mix.

Starcodes horoscopes for July 13 – 19, 2012

by Heather Roan Robbins

“It’s going to be a bumpy ride“ -Shrunken Head, Prisoner of Azkaban

Fasten your seat belts, we are energize and challenged, in some places, may be challenged to our core this week by communications problems and technical snafus all under some irritable, authority resistant aspects.  It’s time to prioritize peaceful solutions and safe explorations as communicative Mercury and electrical Uranus retrograde, while motivational Mars challenges the great revolutionary trigger planets, Pluto and Uranus.

These conditions are classic astrological patterns for accidents and storms, of both the weather and human temper variety. But they are also for great adventure and meeting a challenge that has haunted us before, meeting and overcoming that challenge and so growing our sense of identity.

It really helps that emotion-provoking Venus is in communicative, forgiving Gemini and activating Mars is in the friendly sign of Libra, so generally we can keep things friendly and mellow, and be truly be helpful to one another in the process. Tempers will spike of the craziest things this week, and can be easily set off by misunderstandings or by hidden information that now comes to light. If we can keep talking, we can process this through quickly. But this Mars is willing to fight to the finish if a situation feels unfair and ordinary channels of communication are not working.

This line-up creates a paradoxical tone: nice days sprinkled with a few strange tantrums and manic episodes, lazy summer moments with technical and electrical snafus, ordinary quiet spells with peppered with challenges that demand our presence and ask us to be brave and real.

The weekend starts out on Friday the 13th a day of luck, good or bad. Strange technical glitches and scattered nerves can test us as Uranus retrogrades as the weekend begins, but we need to stay focused and nail down loose ends before Mercury turns retrograde on Sunday. The retrograde follies have already begun as Mercury appeared to slow down over this last week. We may have noticed technical problems, like phone lines that drop signal or machinery that does not work as planned. Or people problems, as, old complaints work to the surface and people rethink decisions they made before.

As Mercury turns retrograde it sends us back inside to get the back story and do some personal work. We may have to go back to a place we’ve lived, people we’ve known, or projects we’ve left behind. It is time to initiate work retrograde procedures, so for the next three weeks don’t take any communication for granted. Let’s make sure they heard what was intended, understood what we meant, and got the e-mail. Check schedules, confirm appointments. Keep a good book near at all times for unexpected delays. Schedule in extra time and keep track of important items, like cell phones, keys, or papers. Measure twice before cutting, check twice the address before sending the email.

This coming week could be an unusually brave and adventurous, arousing and accident prone because Mars, arbiter of our temper and our energy level, our right to say both no and yes, is cranking in some heavy aspects. Put safety on the front burner, don’t hide out but do move with attention and awareness. If we hide out or ground our kids, impatience usually builds until we do something rash, which makes this a self-fulfilling prophesy. So let’s whole-heartedly engage the world, but make it a dance.

Over the weekend we can feel a peaceful, introspective energy, but as Mars, our energy pack, opposes chaotic and electrical Uranus, trines expansive Jupiter, and squares powerful Pluto midweek, we have to watch out for trouble. Impulse control is low. Smell the whiff of revolution in response to anything that would tick off a Libra, anything unbalanced, unkind, or ugly. Expect politics to get ugly. Don’t play with fire or fuel. Use this energy to tackle real problems; put it to good use and keep it out of trouble.

Venus and Mars trine in friendly air signs do add a pleasant romantic milieu. Relationships will need lots of communication and little judgmental attitude; we can puddle along together and encourage one another gently most days, but when a problem comes up, and it can so easily with Mercury retrograde misunderstandings, tempers can spike easily. Confirm all data before responding, and be as gentle as possible with one another.

Friday, July 13: Keep it mellow, stay cool under potential glitches this morning as Uranus retrogrades. We may feel a little spacy and disoriented, so make an effort get grounded and present. Noon time is sociable and sensuous as the Taurus sextiles the Sun. Afternoon grows more distant, tired, we could all use a nap, but stay alert enough to bring the point home and enough to batten the hatches and make sure loose ends are cleaned up now. Enjoy a quirky, hungry evening and share luck stories.

Saturday, July 14: A nervy morning can leave us discouraged or concerned this afternoon. Unwind and let details scatter as the Gemini Moon squares Chiron this morning. Cartoons may be in order. If we can, let’s take a day off and putter mindlessly or socialize easily as Mercury sextiles Venus, but responsibilities may press us back into action as the Sun squares Saturn later on. Some real or imagined deadline may pressure us, but will take extra effort to complete as Mercury retrogrades. Make necessary adjustments, keep plans loose, humor nearby, and initiate retrograde Mercury skills. Relax sociably tonight; babble is good, we need to talk but may not need to make sense.

Sunday, July 15: Hurry and efforts all snarl up; go with the flow and prioritize centering, and this can be a beautiful day as the Moon sextiles Mercury and conjuncts Venus. Non-sequential conversation furthers. Gather with like minds and share without an agenda. Listen and be surprised.

Monday, July 16: If some personal quirky issue gets tapped this morning as the Sun challenges Chiron, take it as a signal to heal the issue rather than repeat the problem. The day is moody and itchy, full of paradox; many aspects crank up our restlessness and call us out and about, while a Cancer Moon whispers of existential homesickness. Expect mixed signals and conflicting feelings. Hold hands and don’t try to make sense of it all; just ride the waves.

Tuesday, July 17: Feel the protective bravery and proceed carefully as Mars trines Jupiter and the Moon opposes Pluto. A problem may require a surgical decision. Confidence and energy can help us successfully tackle a challenge, but without a challenge we can chew on ourselves or the ones we love. Moods are touchy, tender, with defensive brilliance. Later, walk the line between loneliness and useful solitude and gently confront some lurking fear as Mars squares Pluto.

Wednesday, July 18: This tricky day roils with technical difficulties, primal emotions, and an opportunity to transform ourselves as Mars opposes Uranus and Jupiter quincunx Pluto. Notice a ruggedly individualist mood and don’t hassle the cowboys. We may be challenged to let go of old modes of operation and pushed out of our comfort zone, but can rise to the challenge and find capacities we didn’t know we had. Even through strong emotional winds blow through, we need to think and act strategically. A New Moon in Cancer tonight offers a chance to start over and take better care of ourselves and others in the new cycle ahead.

Thursday, July 19: Keep it safe and keep it moving. Let’s tell our story. It feels really important to be appreciated and understood, to have our efforts noticed as the Moon goes in Leo. Though we may want to dramatize our situation to express how it feels to us the situation may be dramatic enough on its own. Show love, show appreciation, listen to one another’s stories, and don’t push anyone more than necessary, because we don’t know what drama already lurks in their life. Sympathy heals.

New Moon Report For July 14 – Mercury Retrograde

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

 

Mercury Retrograde

Saturday, July 14

The backward shift of Mercury is associated with technical problems, mixed-up messages and inaccurate information. But we can use the next three weeks to reconnect with people from the past and to resurrect creative concepts. Listening more attentively and communicating more precisely will prevent minor errors before they become major problems.

Your Magickal Correspondence for Saturday, July 14th

Your Magickal Correspondence for Saturday, July 14

Saturday Is Ruled By Saturn

Archangel:  Cassiel

Candle color:  Purple or brown

Incenses:  Patchouli or mimosa

Crystals:  Jet or banded agate

Use Saturdays for spells to do with property, security and long-term financial matters, for closing doors on the past, for psychic protection and for locating lost objects (as well as animals and people).

Where possible, work in woodland, near rocks and stones or on animal or bird reserves.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 12

We can use today to take a few deep breaths and begin to integrate what has transpired over the past couple of weeks. Thankfully, the sensual Taurus Moon encourages realism over idealism. Traditionally, the Moon is quite comfortable in the sign of the Bull; she gives us enough stability to stay in touch with our changing feelings without fear of losing our center of gravity. Our unwavering determination enables us to reach our goals.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may get a bit lazy today because something tells you that everything is going to be OK. You know that worrying won’t help matters, even if some things are not quite right. The fact is that there aren’t any quick fixes to life’s current intriguing dilemmas, so let yourself off the hook for now. There is nothing you must do except be fully present in the moment. The rest will follow.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This is an opportune time to recharge your batteries now that the Moon is back in your sign. Even if you are busy fulfilling your commitments, find small pockets of time to do absolutely nothing at all. Giving yourself permission to contemplate life without the need to be productive is an excellent way to reconnect with what’s truly important.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Don’t let down your guard today or you could find yourself an unwitting participant in someone else’s drama. Sure, you may have a role to play in what’s going down, but it’s time to step back from the action or you’ll get pulled into something that’s bigger than what you bargained for. Instead of trying to directly affect the outcome, take a more spiritual approach to gain a better perspective on the big picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

By now you have probably made a choice that will carry you well in to the future. Although your plans are in an early stage of development, you can still make adjustments to them. But, on some level, the deal is done. You’ve gone through a period of serious questioning and now it’s time to concentrate on putting your ideas into action, even if you don’t see results overnight.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might find yourself in a situation where people seem to be relying on you more than you think is healthy. But don’t just brush everyone’s overtures aside. Instead, find the inner strength to express clearly what you can do while admitting what is beyond your reach. You don’t have to fend for anyone now but yourself, so your friends will appreciate your honesty more than your denial.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Applying your analytical skills to your future goals is a valuable exercise now. However, even if you’ve been thinking about a quick getaway or a longer vacation, don’t put off the planning since you have a rare combination of planetary help available today. Your imagination can conjure up an ideal adventure for you and someone special. However, it’s up to you to bring your dreams down to earth.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It seems as if the storm clouds are lifting, but your positive forecast may still be a few days out. Although the emotional skies aren’t totally clear yet, you’re already seeing the welcoming patches of blue amidst the turbulence. Be patient; don’t try to push the dark clouds away. They will continue to drift off on their own accord as you learn to appreciate the rains they bring. Remember, finding the silver lining in a cloud can be its own reward.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You feel a bit more upbeat today as you simplify your life and clarify your needs. Sometimes things seem way more complicated to you than they do to other people. Of course, others aren’t always as perceptive as you are and they do not understand what you see. Nevertheless, eliminating some of the outer noise allows you to get even better at hearing your own inner voice.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There’s plenty to do today, and it seems as if you are finally ready to attack your assigned tasks. It’s not that you have been lazy during the first half of this week; it’s just that there is a lot going on that continues to distract you from your normal routine. Nevertheless, it’s better to keep going through the motions, even if your heart isn’t into it now. Instead of looking to do things differently, concentrate for a while on crossing things off your list.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can do nearly anything you put your mind toward today, since your pragmatic nature helps you create a concrete plan to accomplish your goals. Thankfully, your focus is strong and you are determined to do whatever must be done in order to meet your obligations. Although you may be tired and work-weary, if you think you can, then you can. Don’t wait for a better time; start now.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An emotional conflict today might not be as overwhelming as your recent experiences. In fact, you may not be too concerned at all because you can approach the entire situation in an objective manner, enabling you to rationalize your feelings. Keep in mind that an intellectual orientation allows you to hide your vulnerability, preventing others from getting too close to you. Show your courage by being honest and admitting that you don’t have all the answers.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even though your feelings can still be quite strong today, your life seems a little calmer. Somehow, you seem to know that you’ll end up exactly where you need to be as long as you move with the tidal flow. However, going contrary to the currents will tire you out. Resistance is futile, so save your strength for when you need it most.

  the daily humorscopes   

Thursday, July 12, 2012

Aries

(March 21 – April 19)

A tomato features in todays cuisine. Sadly, that’s going to be your pinacle of excitement for today.

Taurus

(April 20 – May 20)

Excellent day to crouch behind furniture, and peer over the top. If you can do that while wearing one of those Groucho Marx noses, so much the better.

Gemini

(May 21 – June 20)

Excellent day to study gastroenterology, or possibly to go bowling.

Cancer

(June 21 – July 22)

Today you will receive a gift horse. Unfortunately, it will have a really horrendous case of gingivitis.

Leo

(July 23 – August 22)

You will attain your dream of having your own cooking show, but it will become tiresome when you have to battle your way past people dressed as chickens to get into the studio each day.

Virgo

(August 23 – September 22)

It’s about time you learned some more recipes dealing with zucchini. Lots and lots of zucchini. You’ll need one of those new Martha Stewart “Kitchen Shovels”, I’m afraid. The good news is, you’ll find several nice zucchini recipes in my new cookbook “Recipes For Disaster” (the sequel to “Another Fine Mess”).

Libra

(September 23 – October 22)

Despite having a brilliant mind and a lot of terrific friends, you find yourself stagnating in a quiet backwater, with financial success nowhere in sight. You will go into business for yourself, however, making frozen Piroshki based on your grandmother’s recipe, and will become rich and famous. Your grandmother will thwap you with her umbrella.

Scorpio

(October 23 – November 21)

You will get a new job, soon, in which your most important activity will be to periodically “jiggle a little thingy”. While it will pay well, this will prove to be somewhat awkward to explain at parties. Eventually you will hit on the ploy of saying you sell insurance…

Sagittarius

(November 22 – December 21)

Today, someone named “Svlad” will appear at your door, carrying a large inflatable penguin and a bag of pistachio nuts. Despite your better judgement, you will let him in.

Capricorn

(December 22 – January 20)

You will contemplate nothingness today, but somethingness will keep intruding upon your thoughts.

Aquarius

(January 21 – February 18)

You will discover an odd amulet in an old curio shop, which is made entirely of holmium and yttrium, and which strongly interferes with the normal functioning of electronics. Best not to play with things like that.

Pisces

(February 19 – March 20)

Someone will ask you for your advice. Don’t give it! Or if they insist, simply shake your head solemnly, and mutter “Much bad juju”, and refuse to clarify. They only want a scapegoat.

Magickal Correspondence for Thursday, July 12

Magickal Correspondence for Thursday, July 12th

Thursday Is Ruled By Jupiter

Archangel:  Sachiel

Candle color:  Blue

Incenses:  Sandalwood or sage

Crystals:  Lapis lazuli or turquoise

Use Thursdays for spells for career, justice, prosperity, leadership, creativity, marriage and all partnerships, whether love or business, and for male potency.

Where possible, work on a hillside, moorland or near a natural sacred site.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 11th

Although there’s still a lot of electricity in the air today, we are subdued by the Moon’s morning opposition to restrictive Saturn. The past couple of days have been very intense with the Moon in excitable Aries, and we begin to slow down in anticipation of her shift into steady Taurus at 7:30 pm EDT. Even if we’re having trouble resisting temptation, a more sensible approach to life enables us to experience pleasure without overdoing it.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Complex issues continue to weigh on your psyche today, even as the real world pressures appear to ease. Although you’re trying to re-establish balance between your needs and the demands of working with others, you might overstate the importance of a personal preference. Since your strong opinions could instigate an unnecessary meltdown, consider backing down from your supposedly non-negotiable position. Compromise is more stabilizing than conflict.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if your intent is to come clean, it may be more difficult to put your feelings out in the open with the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets. It’s best to avoid being drawn into an intense disagreement that’s fueled by fear of the unknown. Shining your light of awareness into the shadows of consciousness is difficult at first, but grows easier when the Moon enters your dependable sign later this evening.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might experience a wide range of feelings that don’t have an acceptable outlet in your current social setting. However, these unexpressed emotions still have a strong influence on what’s occurring in your outer world. It may be difficult to overcome the resistance that you face, but the blockages are easier to handle once you realize that you are the real obstacle to open communication and not anyone else. Overcome your fears with clear intentions and unrelenting persistence.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as hesitant today about expressing your private feelings and you might not be able to stop yourself from saying what’s on your mind. This isn’t about you suddenly demanding what you want; it’s about honoring your inner voice. Don’t keep your thoughts locked up even if you’re not sure about the consequences of disclosure. Say what you must; just remember to be kind in your approach so others will be more receptive to your words.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Try not to overcompensate for any emotional insecurity by acting more intensely than you actually feel today. Disguising your vulnerability with an inflated demonstration of passion can trick others into believing that you have more self-confidence than you really do. Find someone you trust and openly discuss your dilemma, knowing that the ensuing conversation could help you figure out your next move.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your feelings isn’t a viable option now since everyone seems to be able to read you like an open book. But even when you take the time to explain yourself in great detail, you still aren’t sure that anyone else really understands what you need. Carefully examine your motives so you don’t mislead someone in a way that could be problematic. Once you are clear about your intentions, it will be easier to communicate them to others.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t need to let anyone push you around, for you have more power than you realize. On the other hand, nothing is gained by obsessing about something that you cannot have now. It may be challenging to manage the intensity of your reactions today. Continue to practice moderating your extreme emotions and seek middle ground wherever possible.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sexy Venus flirts with the fine line between delicious and overindulgent today as she stressfully aligns with the Moon. You aren’t in the mood to play games now, unless you believe they will lead somewhere productive. Nevertheless, you still want to do what’s right, even if you already know what you want. Be careful; make sure that everyone is on the same page before reaching a point of no return.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Logic isn’t necessarily a part of your equation today as you attempt to satisfy your desires. You may be openly communicating with a romantic partner, yet your words can also act as a smoke screen that hides feelings you don’t want to discuss. Avoid coercive tactics since they add power to what’s not being said. Bringing your emotions out into the open can minimize unnecessary confusion later on.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Even your closest friends have a hard time understanding how deeply your feelings run today. Although you don’t often express your needs using emotionally-charged language, your heart can be just as vulnerable as anyone else’s. Something special may be in the emotional slow cooker, but it’s too soon to declare it done. Don’t hurry the process; good things come to those who wait.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desires could be overridden today by everyone else’s demands. Ultimately, you might decide that it’s a smarter idea to conform instead of rigidly sticking to your own plans. It may be inconvenient to stand up to others right now even if you know what you want; the time and effort required isn’t worth it. But your needs grow in strength if you try to simply ignore them. Avoid the possibility of losing your temper by letting others know your preference without being attached to the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Dancing simultaneously in multiple realities can be exciting for you today, but it also produces extra stress. You are tempted to choose one set of emotions to live by, while burying the other. However, you’re being called to do powerful inner work while still keeping up external appearances. Keeping one foot on the ground in each realm helps you face your feelings, even if you cannot fully integrate them into your current life yet.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 11th

The universe finally pipes down after three days of martial fireworks, Neptunian mischief-making, and quarter moon tensions. Major solar and planetary aspects disappear completely while the Moon in Aries makes its monthly polarity to Saturn in Libra (2:24AM PDT) – beginning a 14+ hour void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 4:32PM PDT.  Trying to make things happen your way during this void-of-course Moon time-span is foolish. Slow your tempo across the board. Patience is a cardinal virtue. Completing odds and ends makes sense with the Moon out of sorts.  Once the lunar orb enters earthy Taurus (4:32PM PDT), handle financial issues with flair and logic. Arts, crafts and hobbies are highlighted this evening as the Moon parallels Mercury (9:25PM PDT) followed by a supportive, 60-degree link from the Moon to visionary Neptune (10:10PM PDT). The Moon-Neptune alliance also favors experimenting with a favorite musical instrument, camera, poetry style or dance routine.  Start gearing up for stations and shifts retrograde by Uranus (Friday July 13) and Mercury (Saturday July 14). Forewarned is forearmed – so goes an ancient saying connected to astrology.
