Yesterday’s nurturing cornucopia – in which the Moon united with Neptune and Chiron in Pisces – dissipates as the red planet throws curve balls, darts and arrows at unsuspecting human souls. Early on today, the Moon parallels Mars (3:07AM PDT) – only to lead to a Moon-Mars contra-parallel several hours later (11:28AM PDT). This is due to Mars making a recent shift from being north of the Celestial Equator to south of that same cosmic circle surrounding the Earth. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon do make an inspiring trine of 120-degrees at 4:01AM PDT, but this begins a very long void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 5:15AM PDT tomorrow. During this void marathon, finish old business and projects, but don’t jump-start bold, new enterprises. To add insult to injury, following a hopeful, 72-degree, Mercury-Saturn mind-strengthening sky pattern (7:41AM PDT), Mars comes back with a vengeance by making an off-kilter, 150-degree liaison with Neptune (1:58PM PDT). The combination of Mars in Libra hooking up with Neptune in Pisces in this kind of configuration can equate with a rising tide of idealistic sentiment as well as emotional intensity. Projecting angry feelings on well-meaning loved ones, friends and associates is not the answer. Put major decision-making, key signings and dealing with legal matters on the back burner until the coast is much clearer.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 7th

A fog has descended on your world today, but your lack of clarity can actually produce magic. It seems as if luck is with you and you make the right choices, even if you cannot see what’s happening and you aren’t thinking very clearly. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to push too hard for what you want; a gentle approach is more effective now than a forceful one.

Your ruling planet Venus befuddles you today with one tempting diversion after another. It becomes increasingly difficult for you to follow through on what you started until something happens that requires you to pull yourself back on course with a new sense of determination. Ultimately, the outcome is up to you; you can accomplish a lot once you accept that everything will take longer to finish than you originally planned.

Your day might not unfold as expected, but you should be able to enjoy yourself anyhow. Unfortunately, you might not be as productive as you wish, but you can catch up on unfinished business next week. Don’t waste time worrying about what others think you should be doing. For now, be mellow and maintain a middle-of-the-road course through the weekend.

It’s difficult to know whether or not to share your feelings today. You might inadvertently turn a passing mood into a major event by speaking up when it’s smarter to just remain silent. On the other hand, you could miss an important chance to have a positive impact on your day if you say nothing at all. Be prepared to flow with the currents no matter which course you choose.

Expressing yourself in a creative way today can leave you with a good feeling, even if you realize that your current satisfaction is short-lived. But it’s not about producing a lasting work of art that everyone else appreciates; it’s about doing something that fills you with a sense of wonder or contentment. Don’t get distracted by waiting for approval from anyone else. Making yourself happy now counts most.

You might believe that your feet are planted firmly on the ground while everyone else is acting flighty today. But you are standing in the magical Hall of Mirrors now, where it’s impossible to discern the original object from its reflection, or the reflection’s reflection. You can change what’s happening around you once you realize that your own uncertainty is coming back at you through the unpredictable behavior of others.

You are at a fork in the road and while other people’s needs must be considered, the final decision is ultimately yours alone. Thankfully, you can see the pros and cons of each path, yet it’s still challenging to fully clarify your preferences. Once you make a choice, don’t waste energy continuing to play through an infinite variety of possibilities. Simply move ahead confidently without pondering the road not taken.

The floodgates of your subconscious mind open wide today as waves of creative inspiration wash through you. Although this can produce fantastic results, you must be ready to ride the currents that arise from the depths of your inner world. Trust the process of self-expression; if you are uncertain about the outcome, you’re liable to impede the flow without even realizing it.

You are often challenged to set limits and today it’s even more difficult because your emotions defy definition. You prefer to fly by the seat of your pants now, and you might get away with this tactic unless a situation grows so complex that you are forced to regain control. But if you wait until things have gone too far, it won’t be that easy to tighten the reins. The sooner you think about clarifying your boundaries, the more natural it will be to honor them.

You have been working hard and you’re ready for relaxation today. Fortunately, you should be able to take it easy now without sacrificing the gains you have already made. But this doesn’t mean you’ll be able to avoid your obligations; instead, you’ll discover that you can get just as much accomplished at a slower pace and enjoy yourself more as you go along.

You might feel as if you have lost the sharp edge to your intellect today, but this is just another passing phase in your creative process. If you recently had an ingenious idea, now it’s time to relax your grip so it can mature naturally. Trying to force the next step won’t work; it’s smarter to let your plans gel at their own pace. Instead of concentrating on finding the answers, allow them to come to you naturally.

The Moon’s return to your visionary sign can free you from the restraints of logic, enabling your imagination to express your brilliance. But it may not be easy to put your ideas into words today. Don’t fret if you cannot describe your vision to anyone else now. Postponing the discussion for another day is a smart strategy because your actions will surely speak louder and clearer than anything you might say.

Saturday, July 07, 2012
Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Today you will find the word “impecunious” popping unbidden into your mind, at regular intervals. Eventually, you’ll go look it up in the dictionary.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
You will be driven into a panic today by the thought that you will live to see music by Oingo Boingo referred to as “classic” rock. Believe me, that’s not nearly as strange as clothing trends will be, such as the “big elbow” look.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Today you will discover an astounding new use for celery, and it will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Remember: Unexpressed feelings don’t die. They are buried alive and emerge later as Border Collies. So don’t hold anything back! Tell everyone what you REALLY think of them! You may lose your job, family and friends, but you won’t have a crazed, hyperactive animal hounding your every step.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
Why did life develop in this fragile boundary between earth and sky? Because life exists at the edge of chaos. You’ll find that is particularly true, this week.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
Once you’re that far behind, there’s really no way to get caught up. You might as well do something fun instead. You can tell them I told you it was ok.
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Good day to count your blessings. Both of them.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
Everyone you know will wear unmatched socks, today. Actually, it’s stranger than you think — they’ll all members of a pagan cult, and this is Sock Swap Day.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
You will independently re-discover an old Celtic trick, which will help considerably with an upcoming math test. In particular, you’ll find that painting yourself blue may do little for your own mathematical abilities, but it will be a significant distraction for everyone else.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Drip, drip, drip. Dunno. Something like that will be in your life, soon. I’ll bet it’s something good!
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You’ve got to learn to slow down. You’re driving yourself and everyone around you crazy. Just pretend that your life is a Prince Valiant comic strip.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Your concern about the International Space Station may not be one that NASA has considered, despite how obvious it seems to you. I’d go ahead and send them a note: “Never serve beans in space.”

Saturn lends its energies to the last day of the week. Because Saturn is the planet of karma, this day is an excellent time for spellwork involving reincarnation, karmic lessons, the Mysteries, wisdom, and long-term projects. It is also a good time to being efforts that deal with the elderly, death, or the eradication of pests and disease.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 6

Your life may be more complicated than it appears now, yet you don’t want anyone to see how much you are keeping to yourself. It’s easier to be socially engaged if you downplay your unorthodox interests. Restraining your impulsive behavior is wise because your need for independence clashes with your current desire to build lasting relationships. Remember, there’s no reason to share all your thoughts and fantasies with anyone else unless that’s what you really want to do.

You have an uncanny sense about the right thing to do in a relationship today. Unfortunately, choosing the responsible path over a more playful one may not be a lot of fun, but you can still feel good about acting in a self-disciplined manner. Being practical is not flashy, but it enables you to prepare for the future, which ultimately can bring you an enduring satisfaction.

Even the strongest dose of common sense may not be sufficient to keep you on task today because you are so easily distracted by the light of your own brilliance. However, shiny objects aren’t as enticing as great ideas now, so it’s hard to be motivated simply by the temptation of more money. Thankfully, a unique approach to your current job might enable you to make a long-awaited breakthrough. Keep refocusing on your goals if you want to achieve success.

It’s difficult to express your feelings today. If you find yourself in a deep discussion with a powerful person, your fear of rejection might tempt you to withdraw to protect your security. But even if you face the resistance, your words might not flow easily now because your emotions are still in flux. Be patient, it becomes more natural to speak your mind once your changing moods begin to settle down. Take time to listen to your heart.

Your expectations are very high today, increasing the chances of being let down by a close friend or family member. But others appear to be out of touch with their feelings. If someone very close to you seems to have lost her way, lending a sympathetic ear is better now than trying to make a heroic rescue. Concentrate on reaching your goals and setting an example for others to follow.

Most tasks handed off to you today are potential opportunities for you to develop a new and exciting method that saves everyone time. But it’s crucial to know when to quit or you could spend the entire day seeking the next great breakthrough, even if the tried and true way would have worked just fine. Sometimes the same old approach is the most reliable thing you can do. Demonstrate your keen intelligence by choosing which path makes the most sense now for the job at hand.

The sensitive Cancer Sun is halfway through its month-long journey through your 10th House of Career, possibly bringing you well-deserved recognition at work. But taskmaster Saturn is also in the equation today, requiring you to give your assignments all you can. Expect amazing results, for even if you don’t quite meet your goals, your chances for success are greatly enhanced by your confident attitude and your extra effort.

You’re able to shine your light brightly today because you can see great potential wherever you look. However, blind optimism is not a wise strategy; it only inflates and then dashes your expectations. Nevertheless, your willingness to assume the best outcome could open one door after another to opportunities that you would have just walked by at another time in your life.

You’re not particularly interested in undertaking a major project by yourself these days. Fortunately, your world is full of amazing people, each with something special to offer. You might expect it to be easy to find someone willing to work with you, but everyone seems to be too busy now. However, don’t give up searching for a business or personal partner. Accepting less than you want may seem wise in the moment, but it’s even better to wait for the right person.

Your ruling planet Saturn is softened by a harmonious trine from the nurturing Moon today. Normally, rational Saturn and the emotional Moon send conflicting messages, but your steady work now seems to garner beneficial results. Find the balance between knowing exactly what you want and realizing that you cannot fulfill every desire. Prioritize the potential pleasures in front of you, carefully choose your best shot at happiness and then take it.

You might be so confident today that you think you can do everything. Unfortunately, spreading yourself too thin makes it impossible to finish even the simplest chores. Don’t be so blinded by your own illuminating ideas that you lose sight of the practical realities that still govern your life. It’s more important now to be responsible than it is to act like a genius.

You could be undecided about a significant personal issue because you can see it from both sides now. Your enthusiasm tempts you to say yes and jump wholeheartedly into the new project, but your heightened common sense is screaming no. Forcing a decision today only leads you to change your mind farther down the road, so take your time before making a final choice.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 3rd

Today’s Capricorn Full Moon brightens your 10th House of Profession, yet your heart may be drawn toward your family life. The dilemma arises from different strategies on how to best manage changes at work. On one hand, you are ready to fully engage and do whatever must be done. However, you also want to retreat into the safety of your personal world. Give yourself a few more days until the dust settles before making any long-lasting decisions.

The practical Capricorn Full Moon emphasizes your 9th House of Big Ideas, stressing your plans for the future. Although you may already know what you want to do, insecurities kick in, causing you to doubt yourself — even if you are aware of the obstacles in your way. This isn’t necessarily about real blockages; it’s more about what you need to do to overcome your self-doubt. There’s no reason for immediate change. But even while you stick to your current agenda, keep an open mind about what to do next.

Exercising self-control still won’t prevent your feelings from affecting your thoughts now that the Capricorn Full Moon is illuminating your 8th House of Intimacy. Your thinking is not as logical as you prefer, but your emotions are telling you something important about your relationship with someone you love. You are tempted to ignore your inner voice and follow the path of common sense, instead. It may be a stretch but trust your intuition, regardless of your fear of being irrational.

The earthy Capricorn Full Moon pulls directly opposite the watery Cancer Sun, stirring tidal forces from the depths of your hidden subconscious. Your unspoken needs come precariously close to the shores of awareness, impacting your everyday life. Use your imagination to find balance; create a safe harbor for yourself and your loved ones where you can share your dreams and fears without worry. Instead of isolating yourself, spend time with those who will support you through times of change.

Current responsibilities may prevent you from diving into the warm and nurturing backwaters of your own fantasies. However, others don’t realize how deep and wide your imagination is, for you are not sharing everything that you feel now. The Capricorn Full Moon activates your 6th House of Habits, encouraging you to stick to your daily routine as much as possible. Just don’t get so caught up in what you’re doing that you forget to honor your unexpressed dreams, too.

Today’s goal-oriented Capricorn Full Moon occurs in your 5th House of Self-Expression, requiring you to exercise good judgment and self-restraint if you want to reach your desired destination. Holding back your feelings isn’t anything new to you since you understand the impracticality of emotions. Share what’s on your mind, but taking a conservative approach is the most effective strategy now. Others are more willing to listen if they feel that their ideas are acknowledged and appreciated just as much as yours.

The serious Capricorn Full Moon falls in your 4th House of Home and Family, possibly overwhelming you with domestic responsibilities. Yet superhero Mars enters your harmonizing sign today, reminding you that you cannot do everything all at once. Instead of fretting over deadlines, simply concentrate on the present moment. When the emotional currents settle down over the days ahead, you’ll be thankful for what you actually accomplished, as will everyone who depends on you.

Love grows complicated when you take an all-or-nothing approach to your needs. It’s a challenge for you to stay comfortable in the middle of the emotional spectrum. However, the calculating Capricorn Full Moon falls in your 3rd House of Communication, encouraging you to consider the consequences of your message before telling a loved one what’s on your mind. A healthy balance between expression and restraint can put you on the path to relationship success.

Today’s responsible Capricorn Moon lights up your 2nd House of Personal Resources and you might be concerned if you don’t see a way to balance your income with your expenditures. It’s challenging to separate your financial worries from deeper issues about self-worth. Rather than focusing your attention on what’s missing in your life, concentrate on the positive things, instead. Counting your blessings is a smart way to raise your self-esteem and also, possibly, your bottom line.

This cautious Capricorn Full Moon can test your strength as you ride powerful emotional waves. It’s both challenging and invigorating to balance your strong feelings with the necessities of the outer world. The distinction between your dreams and reality is more apparent to you than ever before. But don’t fight the strong currents; there’s more to gain by just putting yourself in the middle and enjoying the ride. The intensity will settle back down over the days ahead.

You are eagerly anticipating indulging in some personal time as today’s Capricorn Full Moon shines in your 12th House of Escape, even if current obligations still require you to follow your regular routine. But don’t get too worked up trying to finish everything now. Just do what you can, while allowing time for short breaks throughout the day. Enjoy the distractions; you will return to your chores feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Finding the right balance between responsibility and recreation is the trick.

Although you might feel as if you’re stretched to the max, you also recognize that you need to take time to recharge your batteries. The steady Capricorn Moon energizes your 11th House of Social Networking, giving you the opportunity to spend time with friends and relatives. Your current tendency is to be critical of yourself, which could drain your energy instead of increasing it. So, above all, cut yourself some slack, chill out and enjoy the camaraderie while you can.
New Moon Report for July 3rd – Mars In Libra
New Moon Report
By Jeff Jawer
Mars In Libra
Tuesday, July 3, 5:33 am PDT, 8:33 am EDT
Assertive Mars has been busy managing details since its entry into efficient Virgo last November. Its move into sociable Libra opens up new opportunities for personal and business alliances, making this a favorable time to launch a product or seek a job. Passive aggression is the shadow of this transit because anger can hidden behind insincere smiles. Mending fences and making compromises are fine as long as inner truth isn’t sacrificed to maintain appearances.

Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Good day to put a few kumquats, some of those teensy little ears of corn, and a few brussels sprouts in a tiny little bowl, and leave it on someone’s doorstep with a tiny little note reading “Dear Big People….”
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
What are you looking here, for? You should be on a spaceship, sticking a fish in your ear. It’s not like you didn’t get enough hints. If you are vaporized, it’s your own darned fault, I’d say.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
You are sad about an upcoming event, but can do nothing about it. Try knitting — people say it’s wonderfully relaxing.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
It will turn out that someone you spend a great deal of time with is actually one of the last remaining Sinanthropus (Peking man), rather than an actual Cro-Magnon. This will explain things you’d been wondering about.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
That new employee seems honest, and is a really hard worker – so who cares if she wants to wear a studded dog collar? You’ll have to draw the line at butt sniffing, though.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
Good day to power-walk. It not only looks silly, it is silly.
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
You will win 12,000 cases of peanut brittle today, on a call-in game show. That’s a LOT of peanut brittle, as it turns out.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
In this world you have a choice between being clever, and being pleasant. I recommend pleasant.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
You will spend another full day attempting to shuffle a deck of cards with your toes. Fortunately, nobody will find out.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Today you will suddenly realise how sensuous pudding can be. This will mark a turning point in your life.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Try not to be too impulsive, today. Ask youself if you really need that howitzer, or if you just think it’d be fun to have.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Good day to ponder the parable of the itsy bitsy spider, and the futility of climbing up water spouts during spring weather. You’ll be able to apply this lesson to one of your current relationships.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, July 1

You’re quite optimistic today as the uplifting Sagittarius Moon visits your 9th House of Big Ideas. But it’s tough to keep your visions in perspective when your fantasies loom so large. Although your desires are strong, your sense of urgency is dissipating. There’s no reason to push too hard now, so take time to enjoy your day. Paradoxically, slowing down can help you get what you need even faster.

You may have recently been involved in an intense negotiation or even a conflict, yet others probably don’t even realize that you were struggling. You might still be worrying about the final outcome as the situation continues to develop. Instead of keeping your concerns to yourself, bring any lingering fears out into the open and convert your secrets into positive action. Your actions will be more successful if everyone knows what’s going on.

You are eager to meet new people and participate in nearly any activity that sounds exciting today. However, it’s too easy to get carried away in the moment by someone else’s idea of a good time. Make your highest aspirations your guiding light and you can figure out what you need to do next. Following your intuition now will lead you along the right path.

Improving your lifestyle by creating a balance between your personal needs and your obligations to others seems difficult now. The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Healthy Living makes it crucial to stick to your workout regimen today. If you haven’t been exercising, this is a perfect time to start a new program. Managing your time wisely will give you the opportunity to take care of yourself and finish your work, too.

Your thoughts may be on love today as the Moon in your 5th House of Fun harmonizes with mischievous Mercury and irrepressible Uranus. However, an austere Venus-Saturn connection could put the brakes on any flirting. Consider the consequences before behaving impulsively. If you are playing according to the rules and acting with integrity, then there won’t be any problem following your heart’s desire.

The planetary pressures continue to tug at your heart, while you swim into deeper emotional waters. Although you may feel overwhelmed, you might just satisfy a few of your curiosities about the mysteries of life, love and loss. Even if there’s a lot at stake, remember that you have more to gain than lose. Be courageous; fear is the only thing that can get in the way of your current explorations.

You are so sweet and gentle that you can lose yourself in the relationships that give meaning to your life. However, let your partner know what you really are feeling now. Although there’s no reason to go overboard, it’s best to come right out and express your needs today. If you remain silent about what you want, others won’t know what to give you. It may be difficult to get the ball rolling, but it should get easier once the conversation is moving along.

Stay on your toes today, because interactions with personal and professional partners can get quite entangled. Everyone seems to be pushing your buttons now, even if you’re trying to stay cool and collected. Take time to consider your role in creating the situation and what you want from it. Trust yourself, and don’t let anyone talk you into something that goes against your beliefs.

Your idealism is magnified as the Moon flies through your sign. You feel energized as you attempt to live your life fully in each moment. You may even be more emotional today, prompting you to demonstrate your feelings through flirtatious behavior or romantic play. Luck is on your side now as long as you use it wisely. But if you rely strictly on your charm to get what you want, you’ll quickly be required to come up with the facts to back up your story.

Your inner world is expanding these days, enabling you to become more aware of your feelings. This might be an important evolutionary step forward, helping you to relax the hold that self-imposed rules have on you. An overdose of ambition isn’t healthy now; however, staying in touch with your heart also holds the key to your future. Positive changes are already churning the stagnant waters of your mind.

The social aspects of love can pull you into a whirlwind of activity today with the aspirational Sagittarius Moon traveling through your 11th House of Friends, Hopes and Wishes. Fortunately, you are up for the adventure, as you want the chance to talk to others about your plans. Any thoughts you might have now about a major trip should be taken seriously. Nevertheless, it’s still wise to explore as many possibilities as you can.

You think that you can take it easy today, but the cosmos may have a different plan as you are pulled all over the map by your moods. Others play important roles in your life and it could be their needs, rather than yours, that make your world feel very hectic now. No matter what else is happening, fulfill your obligations, even while further cultivating your dreams
Daily General Horoscopes for June 27th

Don’t work harder today than is necessary or you could overdo it and exhaust yourself. The gentle Libra Moon means that grace counts more now than brute force, so let your senses be your guide. Flow with the emotional tides, instead of struggling against them. Creativity, rather than productivity, is the business of the day.

The socially astute Libra Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Employment indicates that practicing diplomacy at work is essential now. Unfortunately, you don’t have a lot of patience with anyone who seems impractical today. Ultimately, you must be as flexible as possible, for there are many approaches to accomplishing the same task. Getting along with others might be more important than meeting any quota or deadline.

You’re juggling a number of contradictory desires today and may find it difficult to settle on any particular one. Although you’re more capable than most when it comes to managing conflicting emotions, your interactions with others can still be confusing if you try to hide your feelings. There is no reason to keep secrets now; everyone will appreciate your honest approach.

You may prefer to stay home, especially with the Libra Moon activating your inner-directed 4th House today. But if you cannot justify taking the day off, try to make your environment feel a bit cozier. Wear comfortable clothes, pack your favorite lunch and add some personal touches around your workplace. Increasing the security factor wherever you are now allows you to take risks and move toward your goals with greater success.

You have many stories to tell today and are eager to hear what others have to say, too. The Libra Moon is visiting your 3rd House of Communication, increasing the joy you feel when reading an email from a loved one, talking on the phone with a chatty friend or taking a short walk with a new acquaintance. However, the key to your current happiness is sharing the spotlight. Think of your life as a team sport in which everyone wins together now or no one wins at all.

Purchase something that makes you feel attractive now that the lovely Libra Moon is traveling through your 2nd House of Self-Worth. Or spend a little money to improve your image, because showing your best side enables you to feel good too. These actions may seem like superficial indulgences, but when you see yourself in a more flattering light, you’re likely to be more confident on every level.

The social Libra Moon reflects her gracious light on your relationships today, increasing your sensitivity to those you love. The good news is how simple it is for you to put people at ease because you take the time to understand their concerns. But be careful of becoming so sympathetic to everyone else’s emotions that you lose sight of your own needs. Just make sure that you balance your compassion for others with love for yourself.

Issues of trust may be over-dramatized today, especially if you believe that someone is trying to withhold information from you. There are those who have complete faith in you and are willing to share their deepest secrets. But others might talk about you behind your back and there isn’t much you can do about it. Be sure to consider the source of what you learn now and spend your time with those who deserve your confidence.

You are usually happy to listen to your friends when they want to share their dreams with you, but too many people may want your attention now, making it difficult to get all of your work done. You could hear lots of ideas and promises today that aren’t grounded in reality. Remember, it’s not your job to shatter anyone’s illusions; instead, you can help others focus on the practical elements worth pursuing. In fact, you can set a good example by finishing your chores first.

It’s challenging to lead a group of people today because others may not work hard enough to live up to your tough standards. Nevertheless, everyone seems overly sensitive and might require more attention than you are willing to give. Being as diplomatic as possible enables you to navigate your way through these tricky conditions. Thankfully, you can earn positive recognition for your patience if you get it right.

You could be in your visionary mode because you have more ideas about the future now than information about the present moment. This is a great time to connect with other big thinkers and to share thoughts about how to create a better world. Your current goals may not be very practical, but they empower you to dream of the magical possibilities that inspire you and everyone else.

Being too concerned about what someone else is thinking can prevent you from saying what’s on your mind today. But don’t be afraid to shake up a cautious companion with the truth about your feelings. Your remarks won’t end a conversation, but might actually be an honest entry point for a deeper and more productive discussion. The first step is always the hardest, but you can’t go wrong if you speak from your heart.

Today old Monty Python skits will keep running, unbidden, through your mind. The only cure will be to be to drink a glass of a fine Australian wine, which has a bouquet like an aborigine’s armpit.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
A man with a large nose will attack you with a sword today, while composing free verse in archaic French. Luckily, he’ll get stuck trying to come up with a word that rhymes with “l’orange”, and you’ll have time to slip out the back way.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Today you will conclusively prove that despite what most people regard as common knowledge, monkeys only rarely chase weasels around the mulberry bush. They normally engage in that sort of thing over by the petunias.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
You will get a notion to become a street food-vendor, and will make yourself a food serving cart for the “Bulghur Baron.” You will sell pint containers of hot bulghur wheat, cooked with sauteed onions, garlic, and other vegetables. To everyone’s amazement, you’ll succeed fabulously, eventually making millions off the franchise rights alone.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
You are at a turning point in your life. Turn left.
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)
It will turn out that someone you spend a great deal of time with is actually one of the last remaining Sinanthropus (Peking man), rather than an actual Cro-Magnon. This will explain things you’d been wondering about.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
Good day to start learning the violin. Interestingly, your neighbours will volunteer to pay for lessons. It’s selfless gestures like that which really help friendships blossom.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
A rare form of management disease will strike you today, where you can only speak in metaphors. Still, you’ll open the kimono and hit the ground running.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Excellent day to slurp soup. Remember: if you’re going to do anything, do it well. Obviously, that includes slurping.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Today you will be either snug as a bug in a rug, or smug as a thug on a drug. Hard to say for sure.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
An elderly Chinese gentleman will drop by for a visit. You’ll spend the entire visit in complete silence, except for the occasional clink of a teacup in a saucer.
Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 22

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
A friend will ask you for help, but you should turn them down, silently, with a sad little shake of your head. When they ask what’s wrong, sigh deeply, and mutter “nothing, it’s nothing.”
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
Tomorrow when you wake up, many small objects on the carpet will bring you to the alarming conclusion that you have a live rabbit in the house. Search though you may, however, you will be completely unable to find hide nor hare of it…
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
You will receive a painful bonk on the head, today, while riding the bus downtown. It’s your own fault, though, for sitting in front of that trombone player.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Good day to make sure you are prepared for a big earthquake. Get bottled water, a first-aid kit, canned food, flashlights, transistor radio, sturdy hiking boots, and a feather boa.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
Hide.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
E-coli. It’s what’s for dinner!
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Your obsession with Lapsang Souchong tea takes a turn for the worse, today, as you begin secretly soaking your undergarments in it. Professional help is indicated.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
Rhubarb pie is the only antidote for your ailment. Trust me on this one. Also, someone’s been teasing your cat.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
Your neighbours 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.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
You will join a team, and have lots of fun. I’m not sure what sport it is, but the team name will be “The Screaming Weasels”.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Uh oh. “Bursting into song day”, again. Your friends will avoid you.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Leek soup day, today. Despite your recent tendency towards shoplifting vegetables, I highly recommend you buy a leek, not take one.

Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
You will tell a total stranger that you’re “sick and tired of salad”, today. The stranger will recoil in shock and horror.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
A moth the size of a Boeing 747 will erupt from a nearby hillside today, and go off to help a huge semi-aquatic rubbery dinosaur fight off an alien attack. So what are you doing to help?
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Extremely poor day to use obscure euphemisms or medical metaphors. In particular, avoid “kajoobies” or “shvontz” like the plague.
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Bad day to feed the Bengal tiger. Let someone else do it, today. Probably just an “off” batch of the Purina Tiger Chow, but why risk it?
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
Remember that silly song The Monster Mash? Beginning today, you will start sounding a lot like the lead singer in that song.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
Your perfume or cologne has too much patchoulli. Only an idiot wears patchoulli. Or a witch. Hmm. Er, never mind. Wear whatever you like. I’m sure it’s quite nice.
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen. Except for Bob, that is. You know – the quiet neighbor, with the binoculars?
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
You might consider picking up some holy water and a few stout wooden stakes. They’ll come in handy soon, although I’m not sure how.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
You will dream about arrows without points, tonight, and it will have a deeply spiritual significance for you. You won’t know what to make of the episode with the lime jello, though.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Beware of short people.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Good day to avoid pickled herring.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
Your main problem? You’re not eating NEARLY enough strudel.

Good Morning and Happy Summer Solstice, my dear friends! On days like today, you can feel the magickal energy flowing through the atmosphere. The energy courses through your blood and your body. Today, we truly are reminded we are magickal beings!
We give thanks to the Goddess for blessing us with Her Love. For without Her Love, we would not exist. We realize Her True Greatest not only in us, but everything we see around us. She is our Mother, our Protector, and our Comforter. The Goddess is Our All.

O Mother, thank you for the Love You

I see You in every leaf of every tree,
and in the dew on a butterfly’s wing.
Thank You for the joys and pains I have
experienced, and will experience, this
Summer.
O Father, thank you for all of Your gifts.
The gift of sunshine and the gift of rain.
The gift of happiness and the gift of pain.

Would you just Stop? Nobody else feels the need to dance around like that…
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
In a surprising twist, the failure of another large London-based bank will be blamed on you, today. C’est la vie, non?
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Today is the second-to-last day, of the 19th segment of your life. Time to learn to appreciate tofu (bean curd).
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Resist temptation, today. You might have to get rough with it, or even wrestle it to the ground.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
If you’re not already a vegetarian, you will be. Someone with the initial “E.” will make sure of that. Ed? Ernest? Dunno. Someone like that. E. Coli, is what I see. Odd name, huh? Sounds Italian.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
You will be forced to re-evaluate your boss’ IQ, when you discover that he is looking forward to the release of “Titanic II.”
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Something is about to become overly intimate with you. Intimacy can be good. Just not with fungus.
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
You may have to share a hotel room with a business colleague, to save travel expenses. Here’s a tip to keep them from talking all night: bring along a teddy bear, and punch it really hard in the head a few times at bedtime, screaming “Shut up, Mr. Teddy! Shut up!.”
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
A moth the size of a Boeing 747 will erupt from a nearby hillside today, and go off to help a huge semi-aquatic rubbery dinosaur fight off an alien attack. So what are you doing to help?
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
A new love affair will have you all misty-eyed. Either that, or it’s the onset of glaucoma, in which case you should seek immediate medical attention.
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
You will be buffeted by hordes of people, who will all simultaneously show up in your office “just to chat”. Eventually, you will make your escape by locking yourself in the bathroom.
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will have a trifle too much punch at a party this week, and will amuse the other guests by flopping around on the floor an making “Ark! Ark!” sounds. But who cares? If they want to be stuffy, let ’em, I say.

Aries
(March 21 – April 19)
Today you will uncover astonishing proof that the dinosaurs died out due to a retrovirus contagion. Furthermore, you will find evidence of a government cover-up of research that indicates the same thing is likely to happen to humans. Don’t worry, though.
Taurus
(April 20 – May 20)
Beware of poltergeists, today.
Gemini
(May 21 – June 20)
Stop slouching, and sit up straight! How do you expect to get ahead in the world if you pay no attention to proper posture?
Cancer
(June 21 – July 22)
Today will be a great day for bargains. For example, you’ll find a really amazing price on a flame-thrower, at the Army surplus store. A flame-thrower is one of those rare things that really creates a lasting first impression — so you should definitely get it.
Leo
(July 23 – August 22)
You will hear screams coming from a Hungarian restaurant, while you are walking by. Don’t worry, though. That’s normal.
Virgo
(August 23 – September 22)
Soon you will start work on a mystery novel, “The Curse Of The Mummy’s Nose”, told from the point of view of your cat, Erik.
Libra
(September 23 – October 22)
Good time to go into business making measuring spoons. Good ones to start with would be a “smidgeon” and a “pinch.”
Scorpio
(October 23 – November 21)
You will have a visit from “The Scourge of Valderia.” He’s thin, small, balding, wears little round glasses, and dresses in a rumpled blue suit. Still you don’t want to cross him.
Sagittarius
(November 22 – December 21)
Following up on your accidental observation of the “sock dimension” (remember that sock you saw re-materializing a while back?), you will invent a machine to let you cross over the dimensional barrier. Sadly, you’ll be one dimension off, and will pop into the lost pen and pencil dimension, where you will be severely poked.
Capricorn
(December 22 – January 20)
Noticing a picture on a colleague’s desk, you will comment “I’ve never cared for those hairless cats”. That might not be a good thing to say. Newborns can be a bit blotchy, and new parents can be a bit touchy…
Aquarius
(January 21 – February 18)
Things haven’t been going well for you lately, and you’re sinking into a fairly ugly bit of self-pity. You merely need to count your blessings! (1) You’ve got a tremendous talent, which some day may be in demand, (2) You’re almost normal — LOTS of people have extra appendages, (3)…
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will finally come to understand what Mies Van der Rohe was talking about when he said “Less is more.” He was talking about his brother, Lester Van der Rohe, and was referring to a small weight-gain problem.
