Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 23rd

The universe could be attempting to trap you into a void lunar twilight zone. This time it is the Moon in Gemini trine to Mars in Aquarius (3:43AM PST) that seems to gift you with a dose of physical, emotional and mental vitality. However, the rug is pulled out from under you as the void-of course lunar vibration begins simultaneously and then lasts for over 15+ hours until 7:01PM PST.  It is always wise to count your blessings during a void Moon cycle and not overplay your hand. However, your abilities as a superb problem-solver and strategist may return with a burst of excitement when the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pallas (7:52AM PST). Take a time-out from business as usual if possible. Visit a favorite bookstore or museum for a change of pace. Board, word and card games offer relaxation and can be an antidote for mid-week accumulated stress.  The scene shifts to home and family interests once the Moon enters the sign of its natural abode — Cancer (7:01PM PST). Clean-up campaigns around your residence are back in style. Don’t be surprised if a wave of nostalgia washes over you when the Moon trines Neptune in water signs (10:37PM PST). Brooding over past failures, lost love, and things you cannot control are no-nos.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, January 13th

We may feel exhilarated today as we look toward the future and share our ideas with a wider range of people. Although the socially conscious Aquarius Moon draws us into a group, we tend to shy away from more intimate, one-on-one contacts. The Moon connects us to a matrix of feelings, yet we are currently more comfortable with emotional detachment. Aquarius is an intellectual Air sign that favors the good of everyone over individual satisfaction.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel the electricity of the high-frequency Aquarius Moon that insists you move into the future. But you’re also listening to the beat of a not-so-distant drummer with a more traditional rhythm. Oddly enough, you might attempt to hold on to the past now, preventing you from freely running ahead. Thankfully, your stress dissipates if you share your dilemma with someone you trust; talking about your mixed feelings helps bring clarity to the situation.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Interactions with others may lure you into uncomfortable places today, yet you don’t want anyone to know what’s going on behind your stoic appearance. You have good reason to maintain the status quo, even if you’re currently receiving information that tempts you to make immediate changes. Acting in a restrained manner is your most sensible strategy now. Acknowledging your emotional reactions is healthy, but you don’t need to share everything you feel.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

This isn’t an easy time because the planets continue to hold your feet to the fire and your words to the law. Although you might prefer a more lighthearted approach to life, you are being constrained in ways that may make you doubt your methods. Thankfully, the freethinking Aquarius Moon offers relief today, but the deepest issues won’t be blown away by a fresh breeze. If you stop and face the music, it won’t be nearly as difficult to handle as you think.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Intimate communications with significant others are emphasized today. You may think that you have to be very precise in what you say because people are hanging on your every word. However, your message isn’t as important now as how you deliver it. You can do your part by simply sharing what is most real for you. Just don’t try to package all your emotions into a pretty box. Showing up with an open heart is your best gift.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

An encounter with a close friend or family member can leave you confused, especially if others are relying on feelings more than intellect. It’s challenging because you might not have the words you need at your disposal today. Part of the problem comes from the inadequacy of language, making it tough to translate your ideas into coherent speech. Watch for non-verbal signals that tell you how you’re being received. Being subtle in your approach now may be more effective than making grand gestures.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This is the start of a productive cycle of communication for you. Your thoughts are lighter and more speculative now. Fortunately, you’re given time to think about integrating more creativity into your daily routine. Begin now by making time to write in your journal — and then do it on a regular basis. You may be happily surprised by where this cathartic process leads you.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your memories could drift back to your childhood today as you seek the original source of your current feelings. You may be certain that your emotional habits were formed at an earlier time in your life and now you want to dig up the root cause. Go ahead and begin this important research, but don’t expect fast and easy answers to your questions. Be thorough in your analysis yet allow the process to reveal the truth in good time.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you are being required to be more actively engaged in various forms of communication, you’re not inclined to simply fill the empty spaces with noise. You want serious interactions that have purpose and meaning. Without the reality factor fully involved, you might try to check out before the conversation is over. However, don’t judge too quickly; give things time to develop depth on their own.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is an odd day energetically because on one hand you’re growing excited about the future. You might even feel that your dreams are on the verge of becoming real. On the other hand, the clouds of illusion fall away as fast as you can create the lovely dreamscapes. Ultimately, you want to see things as they are now, not as you would like them to be. Keeping one foot on the ground helps you make the best of both worlds

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your biggest dilemma now is how to stay positive while you are exploring deep in the well of pragmatic thought. But endless analysis doesn’t lead you anywhere productive; it just takes you around in circles. One strategy is to keep your calendar peppered with fun activities with friends because they will make sure you don’t slip into a state of terminal seriousness. Cautious optimism creates the best chances for progress

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re probably quite moody now that the evocative Moon is back in your sign. However, this monthly lunar visit isn’t just about your rapidly changing feelings; it’s about making contact with your soul’s purpose. Explore your imagination as four planets settle into your 12th House of Spirituality. Don’t be afraid to let go and fall into your own dreams. You’ll wake up stronger and happier if you take this metaphysical journey with an adventurous attitude.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although your energy is just beginning to settle back down, your imagination is still stirring up exciting new recipes for life. What is usually just a touch of escapism or an idle fantasy can now take you on a very real ride. In fact, it may be difficult for you to separate the fruits of your labors from the fruit loops of your irrational fears and longings. Rely on your most sensible friends to give you the reality check that you need.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, January 9th

Common sense wins out over unrealistic ideas no matter how optimistic we feel today. Although the visionary Sagittarius Moon inflates our expectations and increases our confidence, her stressful connections with courageous Mars and cautious Saturn send us mixed cosmic messages now. However, magnetic Venus is now in practical Capricorn, prompting us to ultimately pay more attention to stabilizing relationships than initiating new ones.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Someone at work might ask for your help today, but there could be more trouble here than meets the eye. Be careful about what you do, for your behavior may create big expectations that you cannot fulfill. Don’t respond to the situation with clever rationalizations or outrageous ideas. Instead, do whatever needs to be done, but not more. There are times when limited actions can accomplish the most.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It may be easier to make plans now than to actually execute them. Your key planet Venus lures you to envision the future as she joins three other planets in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Although thoughts come quickly to you today, your progress is impeded by circumstances beyond your control. Don’t waste time worrying about something that goes awry; just reconsider your options and try again when the timing is right.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be inclined to set aside your responsibilities today and do things that bring you momentary pleasure. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple to find people to join your party because others may be more serious than you now. Don’t complain about your social situation; if necessary, you can still have a delightful time all by yourself.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional sensitivity means that you don’t miss much, so it’s challenging for someone with mixed motives to get past your radar. However, your acute awareness can also make life more complicated as you analyze your feelings. Your early warning system may not detect the simple twists of fate that the universe now has in store for you. Don’t try too hard to figure it all out in advance; simply let go and enjoy the ride.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Just when you thought you were done processing all the emotions that were lurking in your subconscious, you realize that there are more hidden feelings buried out of sight. Although these pockets of intensity start to bubble to the surface today, they are not dangerous. In fact, delving into the depths of your heart will uncover rich treasure if you are brave enough to take the dive.

 

Virgo Horoscopes

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel as if time is running out, but the faster you attempt to complete what’s on your plate, the slower everything appears to move now. If you panic, time may even seem to stop for a while. This current lack of productivity places you in a difficult position because you can become very self-critical when you’re not being efficient. Cut yourself some slack and just finish your work with as little drama as possible.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your life is at a critical junction now that new information is being thrown your way, bringing complex issues out into the open. Thankfully, your growing knowledge base enables you to make better decisions. In the meantime, integrate the events of the past couple of days, even if you don’t have the full picture yet. Accept circumstances that you cannot change while working toward improving everything else. Redefining your ambitions can send you off in an entirely new direction.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You transform into a private investigator today when unexpected things happen for no apparent reason. However, your current dilemma might even stump Sherlock Holmes, himself. Relax; there are some mysteries in the universe that must remain outside your logical analysis. It’s time to smile in grateful acknowledgment and accept reality’s gift with grace and without question.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You feel as if you’re completely in charge today, but this sense of authority is probably more illusion than truth. It’s not that your life is running amok; it’s just that circumstances can unfold without your expressed permission. Unfortunately, you don’t get to approve everything before it happens. Differentiating between what you can and cannot change allows you to focus your efforts where they have the greatest positive impact.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re not happy that your to-do list seems longer than ever now. Perhaps you need to rethink your workload and consider why you try to do so much. Are your goals in sync with your passions, or is it the recognition and rewards that you seek? Don’t try to avoid your responsibilities; however postponing a few tasks could give you time to reconsider all your options.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be acting as if life is fine today, but you’re probably worried that something isn’t going your way. Although feisty Mars occupies your 1st House of Personality, others can see your concerns lurking just behind your enthusiasm. Instead of denying that you want more stability in your life, acknowledge that your desire for security is as important as your need for freedom. You might not be able to resolve these opposite forces now, but talking about them reduces your stress.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

As if your relationships with friends and associates haven’t been complicated enough, a whole new dimension of depth and intrigue can emerge now. You are less apt to go off to have a good time today if it means letting your responsibilities suffer. Although others might think you’re taking your work too seriously, you are quite clear about your current ambitions and the results you seek. Cutting back on your social activities helps you deliver on your professional promises.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, January 7th

Frustration can turn to anger today, unless we express our truth without blaming anyone. The emotionally intense Scorpio Moon dredges up powerful memories, but we struggle to put our feelings into action. We are afraid of losing control now as combative Mars stressfully squares cold Saturn. It seems as if we’re stuck in a holding pattern without being able to progress or retreat, yet a combination of caution and kindness gets us through the day.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s hard to get much started today, especially if you’re worried about the disapproval you might receive from your peers. You may think that you waited too long, but there isn’t anything to be gained by self-criticism now. Be satisfied with whatever you accomplish, even if it’s less than you expected. Thankfully, you should be able to pick up the pace in a day or two once your key planet Mars is free from restrictive Saturn. In the meantime, work off your excess energy with a bit of strenuous physical activity.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Relationship responsibilities continue to slow you down and can consume a lot of your resources today. You want to live up to your obligations, but not necessarily at the expense of your own personal fulfillment. Don’t be overly concerned, even if you can’t see any progress in your current situation. Patience is required now because your goals may seem elusive for a few more days. Nevertheless, positive results are more likely if you channel your restless anxiety into hard work.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may need to re-evaluate your current objectives at work because your previous assumptions might prove to be wrong. Instead of being in a hurry to reach your goals, slow down and make sure that all loose ends are tied up before going on to the next step. It’s more important to strengthen your foundation now than it is to expand your reach. A cautious and methodical approach today will prevent unnecessary trouble down the road.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might feel a bit disheartened today by complications in a relationship, yet you’re hesitant to share what’s really on your mind. Even if someone is trying to exert control over your actions, they cannot change your emotions. Unfortunately, doing what’s expected of you while hiding your feelings could create an undertow of resentment. Honor your own heart now by facing your resistance and telling the truth.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your efforts on the job may be thwarted now, no matter how hard you work. It’s as if you’re attempting to roll boulders up a steep hill and you wonder if it’s worth all the effort. However, regardless of your lack of results, it’s important that you keep trying since you are setting the stage for greater opportunities to come to fruition in the year ahead.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

If your time is stretched too thin, you may have to cut back on your schedule. But don’t waste energy complaining about how much you have to do or your co-workers might grow annoyed with you. Ironically, it seems like the more effort you put into making things happen now, the more work that’s in front of you. Your best strategy is to shift your focus to another task for a while. You can return to your previous endeavors in a day or two with a fresh perspective.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends and family may not be as supportive now as you wish. Nevertheless, it’s important to realize they are on your side — even if it doesn’t feel that way in the present moment. Instead of trying to convince anyone to help you today, release him or her from your expectations. Then, if someone lends a hand, it will be a generous act of free will instead of originating from of a sense of obligation.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel as if your best intentions are being stymied, and nothing you do fixes the situation today. The current circumstances are a test of your willpower; although you may be angry, losing your temper only makes matters worse. Even if you want to initiate more drastic action, kindly letting others know how you feel without blaming them is a more positive approach. Continue to take the high road instead of trying to even the score. You’ll have a chance to get everything out in the open sooner than you think.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Pay extra careful attention to the clock today or your schedule could fall apart. It may be tempting to walk away from it all, but avoidance is not in your best interest. Plan ahead by first acknowledging that everything could take longer to finish than you expect. Adding extra time between activities allows you to work at a consistent pace without worrying that you’ll lose control of your day. Your determination to stay on point earns the respect you seek.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might feel a bit lost today as reaching your goals slips out of your grasp. However, don’t write off anything too quickly because the game isn’t over yet. There’s no time to wallow in discouragement now, even if your efforts until now haven’t manifested the desired results. Prematurely admitting failure could stand between you and success. Be persistent and continue to work for what you want; monetary rewards and peer recognition may be just around the next corner.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel as if you must set your needs aside to fulfill responsibilities at work now that expressive Mars in your individualistic sign squares taskmaster Saturn. But instead of reacting by shutting down emotionally, set priorities that honor both your personal and professional goals. Succeeding at work is not an all-or-nothing proposition today, so make a plan that includes some quality time for yourself.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your dreams may have grown so outrageous that achieving your goals seems unrealistic today. Something has to give because you might not be able to keep up with your own ambitious plans. Remember, if you are reaching too far, it’s smarter to scale back your hopes now than waiting until it’s too late. Establishing priorities based on reality, not fantasy, will help you create a healthy balance in your life.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 4th

We must navigate tricky territory when the planets encourage us early in the day and then discourage us later on. An enthusiastic Mars-Jupiter trine inspires confidence; we feel like we can do anything. But self-doubt enters the picture as sweet Venus rubs strict Saturn the wrong way. Thankfully, the dualistic Libra Moon enables us to experience both positive and negative feelings while following a path that is based upon moderating the extremes.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your ruling planet Mars is supported by buoyant Jupiter today, motivating you to act on your feelings. You feel secure enough to express emotions that would normally make you feel uncomfortably vulnerable. Although your current zest for life may be contagious, you might grow more circumspect toward the evening. Respecting established boundaries now prevents you from having to reconsider your radical approach later on.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus forms a stressful aspect to somber Saturn tonight, reminding you that common sense will ultimately overcome your enthusiasm. However, don’t let your self-restraint kick into action too early in the day or you may miss the other planetary excitement bubbling around you. Starting a new project is a good idea as long as you’re willing to follow through with sincere effort after the initial buzz wears off.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

At first everyone seems to be having a fine time, but you can see beneath the surface and the atmosphere isn’t as copacetic as it appears. It isn’t your style to rain on someone else’s parade, yet the responsibility may fall on you to be the one to issue a reality check. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to approach the situation with negativity. Express your thoughts as kindly as possible and then let go of your attachment to what happens next.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You feel the power of love today but you may not reveal your true passion, especially if the thought of expressing your desires makes you uncomfortable. Although you don’t like being emotionally vulnerable on a regular basis, there’s no need to let your irrational fears stand in the way of a potentially lovely experience. Instead of trying to control the process, just share what’s in your heart without expecting anything in return.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although there are many excellent reasons to work in partnership now, be certain you have all the facts at your disposal before you make faulty assumptions. It’s tempting to overlook something you don’t want to know, but it’s better to be rational and have a solid handle on reality today. Ironically, acknowledging the weight of responsibility opens the doors for more pleasurable times. Do the right thing when it comes to matters of the heart and the rewards will follow.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel like you have an inexhaustible supply of energy today, prompting you to reach for the stars. Fortunately, harmonious trines to auspicious Jupiter in your 10th House of Status suggest that you could make a lot of progress toward your career objectives now. There’s nothing wrong with setting ambitious goals as long as you’re willing to earn your success gradually by working harder than everyone else.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel like you have an inexhaustible supply of energy today, prompting you to reach for the stars. Fortunately, harmonious trines to auspicious Jupiter in your 10th House of Status suggest that you could make a lot of progress toward your career objectives now. There’s nothing wrong with setting ambitious goals as long as you’re willing to earn your success gradually by working harder than everyone else.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sink into your own feelings today as energetic Mars activates your 4th House of Emotional Security. Your current optimism might inspire others; however a slight case of self-doubt could gnaw away at your confidence. This negativity may just be a passing thought if you are flexible in your thinking. Once you realize the source of your anxiety, you can easily move past it and refocus on the opportunities at hand

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your ruling planet Jupiter is a key player in today’s expressive cosmic configuration, pulling you head-first into the realm of relationships. Be careful about going overboard with your enthusiasm, especially if you are using it to cover a deeper concern. Finding a healthy balance between the adrenaline rush of reckless abandon and the dutiful routine of emotional responsibility isn’t easy, but well worth the trouble.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Demonstrating your competence at work is effortless today because everything seems to be going your way. Unfortunately, you may be so sure of yourself now that you take the path of least resistance rather than doing a job in your typically thorough manner. However, you could find yourself in trouble quickly unless you pay attention to all the little details. You can let your hair down and relax once you’ve fulfilled your current obligations, but not a moment sooner.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Jovial Jupiter is harmonizing with irrepressible Mars in your 1st House of Personality today, pushing your exuberance to the surface. Everyone can see that you’re putting your best foot forward, but you may not feel quite as optimistic as you appear. You have legitimate concerns about the actions of others; but instead of wasting your energy making judgments about someone else, change your own thinking. No one else’s behavior needs to negatively impact your day, unless you let it.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your imagination is often a path for escape, yet today you can dream your way to success as long as you’re willing to cooperate with others on the job. Even if you’re tempted to withdraw from social interaction, push past your resistance and reach out to your co-workers now. Instead of worrying about what anyone else thinks about your contribution, just show up and be yourself. You may be happily surprised with the positive reinforcement you receive in return.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 4th

Every so often, the universe tries to throw the kitchen sink in your direction by filling up the 24 hours of time with a wide variety of solar, lunar and planetary aspects. When so many sky patterns are vying for attention and supremacy, expect to go through several mood shifts and mental ups and downs.  In the early going, focus your attention on a loved one’s needs as Mercury unites with Juno in Capricorn (2:09AM PST). A tremendous wave of creativity and enthusiasm arrives a couple of hours later as Mars trines Jupiter in air signs (4:47AM PST), Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with wounded-healer Chiron (5:00AM PST), and Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Chiron (5:55AM PST).  Not to be outdone, the Moon in Libra puts together a Grand Triangle in air signs by forming trines to Jupiter in Gemini (6:36AM PST) as well as Mars in Aquarius (6:44AM PST). Literary, educational and athletic pursuits look promising.  However, pressing your luck later on may not be a good idea since Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Saturn (5:30PM PST), Mars makes an abrasive, 135-degree contact with Ceres (5:45PM PST) and the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 15 degrees of Capricorn and Libra at 7:59PM PST) arrives with another dose of frustration or rising discord.  A good-luck charm can come in the form of a supportive, 60-degree rapport from Juno in Capricorn to Chiron in Pisces (7:48PM PST). This uplifting aspect helps to neutralize some of the tensions affecting key relationships this evening.
