Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, November 12th

Restlessness could prevent us from enjoying the company of others today as the fickle Gemini Moon opposes trickster Mercury and needy Venus. We may feel as if we’re caught in a frustrating tug of war between our rapidly shifting moods and our expectations. But an uneasy quincunx from impulsive Mars to erratic Uranus makes it nearly impossible to control our reactions to the present circumstances as it pushes our anxieties right to the edge.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You could work yourself into a state of excitement today by following one interesting distraction after another. Although you would be happily amused if you were free to flit from one task to the next without completing what you start, circumstances could close in on you quickly, anyhow. You won’t be thrilled if your boss arrives to pressure you to finish one project before you head off to something else. Be responsible and do things right the first time around, and then no one will have a valid reason to question your intentions or criticize your work.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might glide along smoothly today, as if you know just what to do in order to be productive. However, a surprising turn of events may stir self-doubt about your recent choices. Although you can’t undo what you did in the past, you can bring your focus back to the present. You should be able to maintain your current delivery schedule if you don’t waste time questioning your previous performance.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your buzz factor is extremely high today and you’re quite excited about your future prospects. However, bouncing off walls isn’t necessarily conducive to getting a lot accomplished, even if you like how it feels. Your exuberance might create problems unless you allow extra time to complete your agenda. Unfortunately, you could make too many plans and promise too much all at once. Pace yourself so you can sustain your output until the energy settles.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your fantasies may be more active than anyone realizes, but that’s because you’re able to balance them with actual productivity. Keeping your dreams to yourself helps you convince others that your feet are firmly planted on the ground when, in fact, you might be soaring in your imagination. Nevertheless, a sudden change in circumstances could reveal your secret life. There’s no reason to hide the truth since the outcome is likely to be a positive one.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can find your work groove today and should end up feeling great about your accomplishments. Thankfully, whatever you do now has a positive impact on your future. However, everything isn’t as light and breezy as it seems. Serious issues must be addressed and the sooner you face them the better. Just remember that you might overreact, so ask your friends or colleagues for their advice before you fly off the handle and say something you regret.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are motivated to act in a pragmatic and decisive manner, but it’s difficult to make practical use of your thoughts today. You might even feel as if you’re walking on a cushion of air, making it nearly impossible to get traction. Instead of trying to force results, give yourself permission to explore a variety of options without choosing one course of action. You can decide on your strategy when you land back on earth in a day or two.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your explorations into the more serious side of life aren’t over yet, but you may want to have some guilt-free fun today. You might even think that you’re making up for lost time by reconnecting with your inner child or your adult adventurer. Just be aware that you won’t be able to avoid the real issues in your life that still need resolution. Don’t be impatient; the long-term changes you seek will take a while to unfold.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You want to release pent-up tension by doing something to get your adrenaline flowing. You’re drawn toward acting out your feelings physically today, but it’s wiser to use this time to reconnect with your spiritual center. Instead of distracting yourself with social activities or strenuous exercise, consider spending time alone with your thoughts. Observe how you become attached to new outcomes as your moods change, even when you’re not doing anything at all.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Everyone appears more interesting today, but your connections with others may be limited to a superficial basis. Although you’re fully capable of building profound relationships, it’s more fun now to drop in and out of a discussion as your attention waxes and wanes. Don’t judge yourself harshly if your energy is scattered because you’ll have plenty of time to dig deeper in a few days.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although fascinating people and intelligent conversations may fill your day, it’s difficult to simply enjoy your surroundings. You may be distracted by your fear of being stuck in a situation that demands more of your time than you want to give. Honor that part of you that wants to explore a variety of interests now. There’s nothing wrong with remaining open to what the world has to offer, instead of letting circumstances or the needs of others define your day.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A playful interlude with a friend or lover may be just the thing you need today in order to regain a healthy perspective on life. Even if you’re busy with work or if you have lots of chores to do, don’t pass up an opportunity to pursue pleasure. Remember, you can always fulfill your responsibilities tomorrow with a big smile on your face and a bounce to your step.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Relationships may be a source of tension now, especially if someone is trying to extract a commitment from you that you’re not ready to give. If fears about a negative outcome begin to surface, go ahead and share your concerns with your friend or partner. However, don’t shift the discussion to hypothetical questions about the future. Instead of worrying about meeting anyone else’s expectations, your best strategy is to keep bringing your thoughts back to what you’re feeling in the present moment.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 11th

The reliable Taurus Moon gives us enough determination to reach our destinations, as long as our goals remain realistic. Although our stubborn single-mindedness should make it nearly impossible to be distracted, the Moon’s square to dispersive Neptune encourages our thoughts to wander as daydreams begin to overtake us. The Moon shifts into inquisitive Gemini at 3:09 pm EST, further scattering whatever concentration we had earlier in the day.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might want to take some time off today, but you could end up much busier than expected. It’s tempting to kick back in the morning, but it’s likely that you’ll pay a price if you fall behind on your work. Procrastination isn’t a good idea now; turn your day around by working hard first and then making time to pursue your own interests after you fulfill your responsibilities.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your emotions may still be close to the surface today, but you probably feel calmer than you did yesterday. It’s easier to take things in stride now, even if your feelings are confusing. However, you might receive information later in the day that conflicts with what you thought was true. Instead of being overly concerned about the contrary stories, entertain all possibilities as the truth until the facts sort themselves out.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone could be working to block your progress, but the Moon’s shift into facile Gemini this afternoon allows you to smoothly sidestep most of the resistance. Don’t overreact before you know what’s going on, because you could inadvertently turn a figment of your imagination into something real by giving it too much attention today. Instead, just continue doing your best and let the situation develop on its own.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Getting into a flow of creativity feels good today, even if you’re content to work behind the scenes. You may be producing something wonderful, but you don’t necessarily want others to see what you’re doing yet. Continue along your path without worrying about what anyone else thinks of your current endeavors. You’ll receive the recognition you deserve later on when it really matters.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Tensions begin to ease, leaving you with the desire to integrate your feelings more completely into your whole life, rather than having them neatly tied up in a box. You may be afraid that others won’t understand your actions, leading you to pull back a little at this time. Although you must function within your family or community, it’s more important to acknowledge what is in your heart, no matter how anyone else judges you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel a jolt of energy now that active Mars is spending his first full day in your sign. Others think you’re doing well because they can’t help but notice your “I can do it” attitude. However, issues that are out of everyone else’s sight can still negatively impact your day if you try to avoid your emotions. Instead of pretending that you are fine today, show real courage and reveal your vulnerability to someone you trust.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A bit of worry could lurk behind your easy smile today, but your self-doubt may vanish when the Moon enters the 3rd House of Gemini and your 9th House of Big Ideas this afternoon. You don’t even need to change anything, although you might feel as if your timing is off if you don’t react immediately. The best way to overcome your uncertainty is to remember that the details may not be as significant as they seem. There’s no need to get hung up with what can go wrong if you stick to the simplicity of the present moment.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re able to breathe much easier now as yesterday’s Full Moon intensity starts to wane. Your feelings were trapped behind a dam and now the waters are flowing again. Nevertheless, don’t gloss over any residual blocked feelings because bringing them into awareness will ultimately help you reach satisfaction. Just remember to let go of the past once the stuck energy is moving or you won’t be able to swim into the future.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel as if you’re bouncing around in a sea of intense forces that you cannot control. You could fritter away time and energy by trying to take charge of your life today, but a smarter tactic is to soften your position and temporarily let go of your agenda. However, you don’t need to alter your overall direction; just lessen the pressure by demonstrating your trust in the wisdom of the cosmos.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be able to find your groove and accomplish a great deal today while also enjoying yourself. Although your pace is steady and your resolve is unwavering, social connections at work can become more meaningful than your job itself. Don’t let any important feelings slip into denial; be vigilant about keeping all communications clear and above board. Hiding the truth now can multiply problems later, so share your concerns and then let them go.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Events at work can take an odd detour that ultimately reveals a whole new perspective. It doesn’t matter if you can’t logically figure out how all the disparate pieces fit into place, since more is going on than is apparent on the surface. Although maintaining a flexible attitude isn’t always easy for you — especially when you are sure that you know the truth — today it holds the key to your happiness.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your commitment to work may be so over the top now that it becomes counterproductive. Don’t take yourself so seriously today, especially if you really believe that you have no time at all for any frivolous activities. Ironically, you’ll accomplish more if you loosen up and focus some of your attention on maintaining healthy relationships away from your place of employment. It’s true: all work and no play makes Johnny (or Susie) a dull boy (or girl).

Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 10th

This is a good point in this calendar to remind you that celestial alignments and events on one day don’t necessarily disappear the day after. Therefore, yesterday’s Neptune station is very much a reality today as well. It is just that a powerful Full Moon (activating 19 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus at 12:17PM PST) and the direct station of Chiron at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST) are now the main astrological happenings spreading their influences throughout humanity. Individual and group meditations are advised in and around the time-period of the Full Moon. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to dear ones, friends, associates, and the kingdoms of nature. Since the Sun parallels Ceres (12:59PM PST) an extra note of nurturance and maternal care is being expressed throughout our social interactions. Meanwhile, the comet-like celestial body Chiron – that has been in retrograde motion since June 8 – stops from our vantage point and begins forward motion at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST). [Chiron stays forward until June 11, 2012 when it will shift into retrograde motion again at 10 degrees of Pisces.] All Chiron themes – the maverick, the wounded healer, the shaman, keys that open doors to higher consciousness, bridge-building between the spiritual and material planes, twilight zones of strange awareness, holistic healing and alternative medicine, herbalism and folk medicine, catalysts, shape-shifting and oracles – are reinforced throughout the day. Another major cosmic shift concerns Mars entering Virgo (8:16PM PST) for an extended stay until July 3, 2012 due to the red planet’s eventual retrograde cycle from January 23, 2012 to April 13, 2012. Mars in the sixth sign of the zodiac places an emphasis on being more organized, orderly in your approach to work and business, and striving to be an efficiency master at your residence or on the job.

New Moon Report for Nov. 10th – Mars in Virgo

Mars in Virgo

Thursday, November 10, 8:15 pm PST, 11:15 pm EST

While hearts and minds (Venus and Mercury) romp in playful Sagittarius, energetic Mars has to buckle down and take care of business in practical Virgo. Mastering techniques, improving skills and acting with precision are among its tasks. Competence grows with this efficient transit but a tendency to nitpick can be irritating. Criticism, though, can be useful when it comes with instructions that show how to make things better.

Have a Magickal Tuesday, dearies!

Spell for Tuesday

Enhancing Confidence

In the old days many people thought that noise was a way of getting rid of demons so it was customary to shout when banishing such nasty things. Today we also recognize that psychologically we can be encouraged by passion, so this is a way of self-encouragement, and an appeal to our own ‘inner demons’.

Items You Will Need:

  • A bell or rattle
  • Rousing music
  • Your voice

The Spell:

  • Preferably choose a time when you will not disturb others and when you will not bedisturbed. Choose a short affirmation that expresses your best hopes for yourself.
  • This might be: I will survive or I can overcome any problem or I have the confidence to do anything or I am my own best friend
  • Play your music until you feel uplifted by its -mood.
  • Take up your bell or rattle and dance around -the room.
  • Proclaim your affirmation at the top of your -voice at least three times and preferably nine.
  • When the music finishes resolve to do three -different things in the next week which -demonstrate your new-found confidence
  • Each week reaffirm your confidence in the -same way, changing the words as necessary

This spell does seem to have an almost immediate effect. Even if you feel silly at first, having confidence is often about losing your inhibitions,and this is one way which can help. As a support for this, have fun drawing your own particular demoneven if it is only as a stick figure.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Nov. 7th

The pioneering Aries Moon infuses us with enthusiasm and encourages us to explore unfamiliar places and seek new experiences. We love the excitement of an adrenaline rush. However, warrior Mars opposes nebulous Neptune today, provoking us to fight imaginary enemies, sending us off in the wrong direction or just taking the wind out of our sails. This disorienting combination can also be confusing because our overactive imaginations seem real.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re all dressed up and ready to go with the Moon in your sign. But your key planet Mars is engaged in a tug of war with otherworldly Neptune that can pull you into a parallel universe. You could slip on a metaphysical banana peel, leaving you uncertain about what to do next. Instead of driving faster to reach your destination, admit that you don’t know where you’re going. It makes more sense to relax than to waste your energy.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s no need to work yourself into a state of high anxiety, especially since the conclusions you draw today are likely built upon incorrect assumptions. You cannot trust your senses now because you can’t help projecting your fantasies onto the events you perceive, creating a loss of objectivity. Enjoy the movie your mind is directing, but treat the scenes as a work of fiction rather than a documentary. Your view of reality will be clear again in a few days.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may sound very confident when you share your intentions with your friends or co-workers, but you might actually be covering up your uncertainty. It appears that you’re running out of time, but it’s not wise to make decisions now just to placate others. Avoid finalizing plans today because confusing Neptune can mess up even the simplest agenda or itinerary for the next few days.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are charged up and raring to show everyone at work what you can do now that the feisty Aries Moon is in your 10th House of Career. You are highly motivated, believing that little will get in your way of success. But you may lose your concentration and fall victim to your own self-doubt, even if it’s not warranted. Ironically, you’ll probably accomplish more today if you don’t try so hard. A gentle but tenacious approach is a smarter one than coming out ready to set the world on fire.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although combative Mars is still in your dramatic sign until Thursday, you may feel as if you’ve lost your fighting edge today. It’s not that your defensive skills are diminished; it’s just that you’re more inclined to engage with others in a much subtler manner now. Your adversary may not even realize that you made a move, but you can be so effective as a spiritual warrior that you win a duel without ever drawing your sword.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s difficult to put your finger on something concrete that’s happening today, yet you know that you’re on to something significant. You can sense that an energetic shift is drawing near, but you’re not quite ready to let go of your current routine yet. Even if you’re champing at the bit, hold on a little longer. Waiting isn’t easy now, but it’s smarter than making the wrong move right out of the gate.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are driven to participate in a group activity today, even if it’s just working on a project as part of a team. But it’s different from your typical need to relate to others. This is more about losing your identity to a larger cause. Put as much energy as you can into your efforts now, for your need to re-establish your individuality will begin to resurface by the end of the week.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your key planet Mars is nearing the end of its visit to your 10th House of Public Responsibility, yet today’s opposition to diffusive Neptune may have you wondering about what comes next. Since you have been extremely focused on work, you may be longing for a bit of downtime. Give yourself permission to dream about going on a retreat; you’ll be given a chance to turn this wish into a reality soon enough after your work is done.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your love of adventure could get the best of you today as you obsess about going on an amazing journey to an exotic destination. Unfortunately, delusional Neptune is tugging on action-hero Mars, now in your 9th House of Big Ideas. It’s healthy to entertain travel fantasies, but don’t be disappointed when you realize that you got carried away by confusing your wishes with reality.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel as if you’re on an amusement park ride today — and you don’t like it one bit. You’re not happy wasting valuable time because you have too many things to do and you want both feet planted firmly on the ground. You don’t want someone else controlling your life, even if it’s just for a simple turn on the roller coaster. Nevertheless, practicing flexibility is wiser now than resisting what you cannot change.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone may be giving you directions today, but you’re still not sure what you’re supposed to do. Perhaps communication is muddled, or, maybe you have ideas about doing things your way. Unfortunately, you can jeopardize a working relationship unless you go out of your way to empathize with others. If you keep in mind that there are multiple paths to any destination, you won’t get so frustrated when you realize you’ve taken a detour.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be tired of doing the same thing in the exact same way. You want to try a different approach, but you need to make it clear to everyone exactly what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Unfortunately, being bored isn’t the reason that your co-workers want to hear, so it might make more sense to keep your motives to yourself until you know that your new method is successful.

Cosmic Calendar for November 7th

p worrying about things you cannot control. That’s one of the cosmic messages streaming into humanity as the red planet Mars in Leo forms a dicey opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (4:35AM PST). Not all opposition or polarity aspects are negative, but it is hard to sugar-coat this one and make it sound pleasant and user-friendly. First of all, these Mars-Neptune 180-degree link-ups only happen approximately every two years. Therefore, they are fairly rare and that makes them more potent. Generally speaking, sparks are flying in a wide variety of relationships. The partnerships can be romantic, business-oriented, friendships or simply new contacts. Nonetheless, Mars is bringing strong desires, passions and intensity into the picture while Neptune – striving for bliss and universal peace – is more likely to activate feelings of sacrifice and uncertainty. The combination usually winds up creating a mishmash of chaos in which interactions with others are more probably nebulous than sensitive and calm. You may still try to tweak this Mars-Neptune sky pattern into giving you added charisma and personal magnetism. Being more psychic and imaginative is another way to bypass the more discordant nature of this celestial tug-of-war. The late-evening vibrations are more conducive to experiencing improvement across the board since the Moon is approaching an upbeat, enthusiastic parallel to Jupiter (forming exactly at 1:39AM PST on Tuesday). Note: Start preparing for Neptune and Chiron direct stations on Wednesday November 9 and Thursday November 10 – including the Full Moon also on November 10.

Your Daily Horoscopes for November 3rd

Today’s ingenious Aquarius Moon can make us so clever that we end up fooling ourselves. Flirty Venus and mischievous Mercury are a charming planetary pair in fiery Sagittarius and their exciting trines to electric Uranus galvanize our senses and attract us toward unconventional expressions of love. The Moon’s midday trine to cautious Saturn temporarily stabilizes things, but her evening opposition to Mars might stir up an unnecessary conflict.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be lured close to the edge of an emotional cliff today, yet you’re probably ready to jump even if you recognize the potential danger. Fortunately, you have a bit of magic working in your favor now and gravity might not send you crashing toward the ground. Take a risk by sharing your thoughts or feelings with someone you trust. You could be pleasantly surprised by where the conversation leads.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Typically, you take a practical approach to love, but today your mind is enticing you to explore some unconventional possibilities that are very exciting. Luckily, you’re in an experimental mood and are eager to connect with someone in a completely different way. But don’t venture too far too fast unless you’re sure that you really want to go there.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can fall in love with a weird idea or an unusual person today, even if you find yourself somewhere you’ve never been before. You don’t get to recycle your same old fantasies now; familiar territory just won’t hold your attention. Enjoy playing on a new social playground, but pay attention or you might find it difficult to find your way home later on.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you have high hopes about accomplishing a lot at work today, save the self-judgment for another day if you don’t reach your goals. Rather than setting yourself up for disappointment, consider declaring the day a personal holiday, instead. Anything you can do to stir up excitement is a good idea. Remember, you can always fulfill your responsibilities tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It begins to dawn on you today that your newfound freedom isn’t just some passing phase; it’s your life. Although you might have twinges of nostalgia, your future looks brighter than your past. An unconventional person may be encouraging you to take a risk by embarking on an adventure. But even if there’s travel in your future, the real journey comes from opening your heart to the idea of something new and different.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions may conflict with your logic now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Details. But attempts at resolving the tension won’t bring you happiness, for you’re being pulled in two directions today. Trust your instincts and take a chance on following your gut reaction. You can always reconsider your priorities in a couple of days when your cool-headed analysis kicks back in.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to believe what others tell you, but you might realize that someone is stretching the truth today. Ironically, this doesn’t bother you much as long as you like what you’re being told. Anyway, you might try to hide your feelings now because you’re attracted to something unusual. Nevertheless, Venus harmonizes with quirky Uranus, so taking the extra step and sharing your fantasy can be fun. Nearly anything is possible if you aren’t overly attached to the outcome.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel very confident about your finances today, even if reality doesn’t fully support your conclusions. Nevertheless, you’re able to break out of the mold you placed yourself in by imagining your life very different than it is now. Although you might want to be in a new situation right away, it’s going to take time. Instead of feeling frustrated, give yourself permission to envision everything just as you want it. Remember, the next phase of your journey is just beginning.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Ironically, when your fantasies grow more real, they can also become less tempting. Your current desires may lead you down a totally unfamiliar path, and the closer you get to the end, the more uncertain you are about your choice. There is a delicate line between your unbridled imagination and what’s actually possible now. Fortunately, if you’re willing to take a risk, you can make an impossible dream come true.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are known for your down-to-earth practicality, and normally you can manage the details of your life as needed. But now you’re more likely to dream about having fun than taking care of the business at hand. Although you’re not sure about just abandoning all your responsibilities, you should be able to get away with letting some things slide today as long as you commit to catching up with your work later on.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This can be a perfect day to fall in love, whether or not you’re on the lookout for romance. Venus and Mercury harmonize with your key planet, Uranus, charging your system with natural charisma and irrepressible desire. There’s no need to worry about stability now; it’s the possible thrill that grabs your attention. However, just because you are attracted to an unusual situation, it’s still not wise to act on every impulse. Consider the consequences before doing anything you might later regret.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you could quietly slip into another dimension, every color would be perfectly matched while your favorite music was playing. Fortunately, there’s no need to travel to a parallel universe today, for everything desirable seems as if it’s right around the next corner, even if you never get there. Instead of trying to make all your dreams come true, pick one and strive to make it real.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, October 31st

The practical Capricorn Moon tells us not to trust our feelings, for they are as unstable as the shifting desert sands. Normally, our common sense would prevail when making decisions, but today’s stressful lunar aspects to the personal planets Mars, Mercury and Venus warp our perspectives. Additionally, our desires are further sensitized as romantic Venus squares idealistic Neptune, magnifying the fantasy factor in our attractions to others.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are smooth as silk today and can spin fantastic stories to support your goals. The images you use seem real to others as you describe your plan or try to get someone to join your cause. However, you should tread carefully because you can convince yourself that you are right, even if you’re missing the point. Telling everyone what to do may work out okay as long as you consider the needs of the whole community and not just yours.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not be able to turn off the flow of fantasies that spring forth from your imagination today, but you still can be totally aware of what you do with your ideas. Your idealism enriches your day by bringing an endless supply of creative material, but this stream of ideas or pictures can also distract you from your real work. Escaping into dreams may not seem productive, but using them for motivation is a wise strategy now.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may not be interested in beating around the bush now; you’re eager to say whatever’s necessary to justify your position. Nevertheless, you are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, so you could start off tentatively. You might be pleasantly surprised by all the feedback you receive that clears the way for constructive conversations. Keep your facts straight today, because a faulty assumption on your part can turn a spirited discussion into a comedy of misunderstandings.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expressing your feelings with someone you trust at work might not be on your agenda today, but something may stimulate a strong reaction, prompting you to share everything that’s on your mind. Be careful because once you begin to talk, you could inadvertently say too much. Thankfully, it’s simple to prevent an awkward situation by just seriously considering what you are going to say before you open your mouth.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your creativity is flowing strongly today, whether you are working or simply enjoying yourself. You might not want to plan too many details of your day, since each activity slips dreamily into the next one. But you must stay on your toes, for your heightened emotions allow you to be easily misled now. Verbal communication may be the source of misunderstandings, so watch what others do before trusting what they say.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have inflated hopes about a family gathering, and can run into trouble if you harbor unrealistic expectations. Your ruling planet Mercury encourages you to daydream now, but you could turn a perfectly sensible idea into a grand fiasco. As tempted as you are to expand on a smart theme, it’s smarter to keep plans simple and the drama to a minimum.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are a master illusionist today as your key planet Venus squares surreal Neptune. This can work to your advantage if you are the host or hostess that ends up dealing with others’ unresolved feelings. Your diplomatic skills assist you in influencing others with your fair-minded perspective. Keep in mind that intuition can lead you down the wrong path, so pay attention to the facts for the greatest positive impact.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Family dynamics may be confusing now because someone is quick to hide his or her true feelings. It’s difficult to know what others want unless you’re willing to climb out on a limb and ask them. This may sound straightforward enough, yet you might end up hearing a lot more than you wanted to know. Nevertheless, you’ll be better off when you learn the truth and then can honestly share what’s on your mind.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The power of your convictions should be enough to help someone else through an episode of low self-esteem today. The smartest reaction to uncertainty now is to quickly get your facts in order, and then talk about what can be done to clarify the issues. Don’t be afraid of looking ahead; the bold actions you take can set the pace for your friends and family.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your schedule may keep you busier than you imagined, even if you were planning on less activity rather than more. But the current noise in your life might seem worse than it really is today because you cannot determine how to turn off the stream of creative thoughts and unconventional feelings. Remembering that you don’t always need to be in control of everything; letting go allows you to enjoy every moment for exactly what it is.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re aware of what’s best for everyone else now, and would like to be acknowledged for your altruistic behavior. However, your ideals could be incongruent with your emotional needs. Fortunately, you won’t have to choose one over the other. If you can muster up enough courage to talk about how your inner desires conflict with your responsibilities, you might be able to achieve satisfaction on both fronts.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a long list of chores that may be left over from last week, but you seem to feel unsure of your ability to accomplish much at all today. The best strategy to deal with your current concerns is to concentrate on fulfilling your social and professional obligations as soon as possible. Your doubts will lessen as soon as you start crossing things off your list. You can indulge in the pursuit of pleasure once you are done.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, Octoger 29

uddenly, it is as though the universe has experienced a meltdown or concussion and lost its bearings. Instead of attacking humanity with cosmic guns blazing, it is receding to the sidelines – undoubtedly to refuel and eventually get cracking with more intensity during the first week of November. Right now you have a Saturday where Venus forms a robust parallel to Pluto (8:16AM PDT) – a rather intense alignment on most days. However, this morning it appears to be a boost for antique hunters and collectible aficionados as well as artists of any stripe. Of course, if you fall into the trap of being egocentric and selfish – for whatever reason – this Venus-Pluto encounter can turn against you. While many of yesterday’s potent alignments remain active in the psychic atmosphere, you can also take advantage of the fun-loving, humorous and cheerful essence contained within Sagittarius Moon. Here’s another evening to kick up your feels and enjoy your favorite form of entertainment. If you want to continue working on beloved hobbies or construction projects, positive lunar aspects to Saturn (8:19PM PDT) and Mars (11:04PM PDT) will keep you busy.

New Moon Report for October 28 – Jupiter trine Pluto

Jupiter trine Pluto

Friday, October 28

Generous Jupiter brings hope in times of despair with its favorable trine to profound Pluto. This, the second in a series of three alignments that first occurred on July 7 and will return on March 12, 2012, helps us reassess our resources and redirect them more effectively. Jupiter in Taurus’ vision for the future is built on simple and solid principles while Pluto’s presence adds depth of awareness and commitment that makes the most of our assets. Financial resurrection and other economic miracles may follow

 

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 27th

It will take a few days to process the intensity of yesterday’s New Moon, but we may not have enough perspective yet to clearly see what’s happening. Although there are still four planets in transformative Scorpio, the heavy energy is giving way to the inspirational calls from visionary Jupiter. Metamorphosis may appear like death to the caterpillar, but it’s also the birth of the butterfly. Fear is unnecessary now and resistance is futile.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You could worry about an issue today that ultimately isn’t all that important. Thinking about the consequences of your words is wise because your fears might provoke you to say something that is hurtful. Luckily, your actions will speak louder than words now with your key planet Mars on display in your 5th House of Self-Expression. It may be challenging to keep your rapid-fire repartee under control, but it is surely worth the effort.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not be able to find a pace that works for you at first today, but your persistence should pay off. You could initiate action too quickly, only to realize that you must do it again if it isn’t exactly right. Don’t be stubborn if you discover that you’re wrong. Your relationships will improve if you are flexible enough to listen to reason instead of fearfully holding on to a perspective that doesn’t stand up to the truth.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel agitated today as Mercury and Venus are challenged by combative Mars. Your legendary wit can grow sarcastic, turning clever words into acerbic verbal jabs. Unfortunately, your coworkers probably won’t stand for your misplaced aggression. Even the most casual conversation can quickly escalate into open conflict unless you stay aware of what’s really happening. If it isn’t a matter of highest concern, keep the peace by backing down as gracefully as possible.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It may be very difficult to dramatically alter your behavior today, even if you know how much it would help to make some basic changes. But knowing the truth alone obviously isn’t enough because your actions don’t automatically conform to your rational thinking. Nevertheless, you’re still ultimately responsible for whatever you do, so don’t just take the course of least resistance.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could convince yourself that you’re on such an urgent mission today that nothing can get in your way. Unfortunately, your self-doubt could turn out to be the most significant source of resistance. It’s wise to dig deeper in search of the truth, but questioning your own abilities is a waste of time and energy. Although you may not be able to make your fears disappear overnight, you don’t have to let them have power over you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You want to follow the schedule that you created for today, but unseen forces prevent you from executing your plan. You might work yourself up into a state of anxiety if you are too unyielding. You could even lose your temper and say something to a loved one without realizing the negative impact of your words until it’s too late. If tension is growing, remind yourself to remain flexible. Going along with the flow is smarter now than resisting it.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your heart and your head aren’t reading from the same script today, challenging you to observe how your behavior affects others. You could be very stubborn if anyone suggests that you are being a non-conformist and a contrarian now because you don’t believe that you’re the one who is stirring up the trouble. Nevertheless, your day takes a turn for the better when you relax the reins of control.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your thoughts are quite intense today, making you feel like everyone can actually hear what you’re thinking. Venus and Mercury in passionate Scorpio form tense squares with assertive Mars, coercing you to speak your mind without worrying about the consequences. Thankfully, you have the power to transmute fear into love, allowing you to choose the most creative path in each of your interactions.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may have a very clear idea of exactly where you’re going now, but your action plan could be flawed with irrational logic or incorrect assumptions. Thankfully, you are able to overcome poor reasoning if you can trust your intuition. Don’t fret about the details; just be flexible and play it by ear as you move through your day. Even if you cannot justify your unusual strategy, it should work for you today, anyhow.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are a tough opponent in a public debate today, but stop and consider the price you may need to pay for your victory. Ruthless intentions can be unleashed now if you take a position contrary to your family or friends. You’re the only one who can decide whether or not it’s worth it. There’s no right or wrong choice here as long as you think about the consequences in advance, and not after creating needless emotional pain.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel insecure about a relationship with a good friend or partner today or about your success at work, but you should be able to transcend your fears through spiritual practice. For some, prayer may be the best way to handle the current stress, but your personal journey might also contain meditation, dance or a relaxing nature walk. As long as you can step outside of your interpersonal concerns now, it doesn’t really matter what tools you use to awaken your cosmic connection.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel blocked at work today, yet the more you think about the obstacles, the larger they become. Although you might be justified in some of your concerns, it will take longer than just one single day to fix your current predicament. Nevertheless, it’s still a smart idea to examine your plans and adjust them as necessary before forging ahead.

Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, October 26th

If you read yesterday’s calendar entry carefully, you know that the dark-of-the-moon time-period of the month is in effect this morning and until the New Moon occurs at 12:57PM PDT. The key is to finish old business in the first part of the day as Mars forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Saturn (2:39AM PDT), Mercury parallels Pluto (4:15AM PDT), the Moon in Libra is void from 5:19AM PDT until 8:09AM PDT (when the Moon enters Scorpio), Venus parallels Ceres (6:21AM PDT), the Moon unites with Juno (9:02AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Saturn (10:35AM PDT), and Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Pluto (12:29PM PDT). Here are seven fairly important alignments – most uplifting, empowering and productivity-enhancing – but they are all encouraging you to complete enterprises that you already have been working on for weeks or months. Once the New Moon occurs (activating 4 degrees of Scorpio at 12:57PM PDT), the usual rule of thumb is to leap ahead with bold plans across the board and especially associated with in-depth research and investigative work. Causing a potential challenge just a few hours later is a sharp Venus-Mars square in fixed, power signs (3:24PM PDT). Love vibrations take a turn for the worse and social affairs may seem more subdued and turbulent than usual. A Sun-Neptune parallel (7:36PM PDT) opens the gates of psychic attunement while Juno trine Chiron in water signs (10:25PM PDT) is a notable boost for emotional empowerment. These two evening sky patterns are magnified as Pallas re-enters the universal air sign of Aquarius (8:34PM PDT) until February 11, 2012.

Blessed Tuesday to you, my friends!

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 24

Relationships grow more complex during this first full week of the Sun in emotionally intense Scorpio. Desire increases and our willingness to compromise needs to gain approval diminishes. Wednesday’s pivotal square between ardent Mars and alluring Venus can’t help but dramatize romantic matters.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your ruling planet Mars in dramatic Leo runs into a stressful square with romantic Venus in passionate Scorpio on Wednesday that raises the stakes in your personal life. Honestly facing some deeper issues in relationships is hard work this week. You or your partner may want more or, if you’re single, your desire for intimacy could lead to some risky behavior. Nevertheless, exposing your hidden feelings can liberate you with the truth; just try not to go to extreme measures to prove your point.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s nothing casual about your relationships this week with Wednesday’s passionate Scorpio New Moon landing in your 7th House of Partners. It’s time to push the envelope by seeking deeper satisfaction instead of settling for a safe but unfulfilling status quo. The price, however, is a willingness to let go of some of your stubborn patterns in exchange for achieving a greater degree of intimacy.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Feeling underappreciated or over-criticized can put you in a feisty mood this week. Your key planet Mercury’s stressful square with combative Mars can trigger harsh words on Friday. However, the message is about improving yourself rather than complaining to others or resisting reasonable advice. Cleaning up your act is a great way to feel better about yourself and, at the same time, makes you more attractive to others.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The passionate Scorpio New Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance on Wednesday, which should enliven your personal life one way or another. However, the path to love and pleasure could be a rocky one with conflicting ideas and values to negotiate with your current partner or a potential new one. Don’t hesitate if your heart tells you to reach out and express your desires. But if your emotions urge you to withdraw, don’t act too hastily. Retreating to your shell now is not the best option when it comes to finding love.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Irrepressible Mars in your willful sign encourages you to keep pushing for who and what you want. But loving Venus’ stressful square to the warrior planet is a mid-week reminder to be more sensitive in your seductions. Tuning in to what someone wants and subtly altering your actions to fulfill those desires will make you even more enchanting to those around you. As long as you remain true to your principles, putting others first works like a charm now.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s finally time to have some deep conversations about matters of significant personal concern. If you are tempted to aggressively defend your position, you could win the battle but lose in the game of love. Don’t look for quick solutions to restore faith in an ongoing alliance or to get a new one heading in a favorable direction. Honesty and vulnerability are your allies in spite of the complications they arouse. Take the first step by opening your heart and you might be pleasantly surprised at what happens next.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Hinting at what you want is unlikely to succeed this week. Your romantic ruling planet Venus in subtle Scorpio would prefer to give indirect signals rather than to be straightforward in expressing your needs. But Wednesday’s stressful square between cosmic lovers Mars and Venus indicates that staying quiet can leave you very dissatisfied. It’s better to be just a little pushy and deal with others’ discomfort in the moment than to remain silent and unhappy any longer.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This is a very powerful time for pushing your romantic agenda forward. The passionate Scorpio New Moon and a sexy square between Venus and Mars kick up strong feelings this week. The key to success is in understanding your desires and being able to express them without making others feel uncomfortable or guilty. An alluring invitation to enter into your world of pleasure just might be irresistible to the right playmate.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Secrets can play a big role in your personal life this week with Wednesday’s New Moon in confidential Scorpio falling in your mysterious 12th house. If you’ve been hiding something, even from yourself, it might come out in the open now. Respecting others’ privacy may make the difference between strengthening or weakening a relationship. Discussing delicate matters requires all the sensitivity that you can muster, but is well worth the effort if both parties open their hearts to the process.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your sense of order and ambition may need to be set aside so that you can look past the surface to feel what’s going on underneath it. What’s not being said now may be more powerful than any words you hear. Listen with your gut instead of your ears and you may tune in to an important message. Being a good friend, even at some sacrifice to your own immediate interests, earns you a special kind of loyalty that will pay big dividends later.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your airy intellectual sign tends to rely a great deal on rational thinking. Logic is a great thing, yet the planetary patterns that dominate this week are much more about evoking emotions. If you apply reason to a relationship matter, you might fail to connect and understand what’s really going on. Tune in to your own non-rational senses and you will recognize what you need to do. Silence can tell you so much more than words now, so give yourself the chance to listen.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Wednesday’s sexy Scorpio New Moon falls in your 9th House of Travel and Learning. Your desire to understand life’s mysteries may attract you to philosophical individuals and people from faraway places. If you’re in a less-than-fulfilling relationship now, discussing your core beliefs and long-term goals should help you discover if this partnership has a future, and what you need to do to make it a rewarding one. If you aren’t feeling the love in return, it just might be the right time to strike out on your own.

Your Horoscopes for Friday, October 21st

The Moon in expressive Leo reflects our need to let others know how we feel. Unfortunately, we could come on stronger than we realize because the Moon’s midday hook-up with pushy Mars prompts us to fire up our creative process with a high level of urgency. We want immediate results, yet the Sun’s smooth trine with dreamy Neptune can blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, challenging us to be imaginative without losing touch with reality.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon-Mars conjunction heats up your 5th House of Fun and Games and encourages you to express your inner child. You’re eager to participate in enjoyable activities today, especially ones that allow you to display your emotional warmth to someone you love. Nevertheless, you may think that everything is perfect if you continue to avoid the truth. Your current state of grace won’t last forever, so face the facts while your creative powers are still strong.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your idealistic attitude at work today can gain you extra points from your boss. Although others might hold you in high regard now, they may not be able to see the real you. Don’t add to the confusion by diffusing your message with too many words because the more you talk, the greater your chances of contradicting yourself. Instead, let your actions speak for you to make the best impression.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although everything is busier today with the Moon and Mars joining in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, you still may be able to float through the day without feeling much stress. Your daydreams are so real now that, like Cinderella, you can turn a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage in your mind. Very little can get in your way, but your sense of perspective may be a bit warped. Don’t be afraid of your fantasies; just remember that they can influence your objectivity.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may actually believe that you have established equilibrium in your family life, but the hidden complexity can catch you off guard today. Your immediate reaction to an unexpected turn of events could be so intense that it’s more surprising than what actually happened. Think twice before allowing a rush of adrenaline to determine your future. Sit with any decisions you make now before acting on them in an impulsive burst of energy.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel as if your life is taking off now that the Moon conjuncts impetuous Mars in your 1st House of Self. Thankfully, your physical energy level is high, enabling you to pick up the pace of your walk, put an extra bounce into your words and appear happier than before. Just be careful not to lose perspective because ignoring the facts can stir up resistance from others. You can maintain a positive attitude without going overboard.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You often like to work behind the scenes, and today’s Moon-Mars conjunction in your 12th House of Secrets can push you even deeper into your inner world. Your reaction to someone’s evasive behavior can be so strong that you don’t even know how to put it into words. But bottled up feelings can have negative consequences, so fight against your current tendency to withdraw emotionally and let others know what you’re experiencing as gently as possible.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your fantasy life is more active than usual as the Sun in your artistic sign harmonizes with ethereal Neptune in your 5th House of Creativity. Although you can be productive if you put your mind to it, you’re more likely to pursue social activities today. Thankfully, relaxing with your friends can be very beneficial now, setting the stage for an efficient workday tomorrow when you can make up for lost time.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This can be a powerfully productive day as the Moon joins superhero Mars in your 10th House of Career. You are at the top of your professional game and have abundant energy to apply yourself toward your job. Nevertheless, you still need to convince yourself that it’s okay to work for your own success, rather than only doing as you’re told. Make your dreams come true instead of just giving in to other people’s expectations.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Getting together with a group of coworkers or kicking back with a few friends might be the best thing you can do for yourself today. You may have big career plans but pushing toward your goals is frustrating if you don’t make as much progress as you want. However, it’s not wise to let go of your dreams, even if they take additional time to manifest. Ironically, easing off on the gas pedal now could be the catalyst that refuels your forward movement.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be very unrealistic about your potential at work because today’s Sun-Neptune trine emboldens you to believe nearly anything now. Although you’re able to see far beyond the present moment, it’s challenging to separate your fantasies from what’s real. If you have specific goals, make certain that you’re giving yourself enough time to deliver on your current promises. You won’t be happy if you just daydream about your future without taking concrete action.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be involved with others in ways that pull you into new territory as the Moon joins forceful Mars in your 7th House of Companions. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to know how assertive you need to be in order to get the ball rolling. On the other hand, you might choose to withdraw if someone else acts too aggressively. Ultimately, following your intuition is the best strategy. Pay attention to your dreams; they won’t steer you wrong now.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may try to keep your feelings to yourself today, but it’s so easy to get caught up in office politics or sucked into someone else’s melodrama. Your sensitivity is high, so you are more sympathetic to others than you realize. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to be compassionate without losing your perspective. One way to maintain balance is to concentrate on your work now so there’s not much energy left over for wandering into uncertain emotional territory.

Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, October 20th

This day starts under a void lunar cycle in emotion-laden Cancer. Before the Moon enters fiery Leo (3:07AM PDT), there will be a Moon-Mars parallel (2:45AM PDT). Any parallel by the Moon is short-lived because the Moon is the fastest moving body relative to the Earth. However, even though a Moon-Mars connection quickly dissipates, when it is happening there can be a lot of intensity – particularly if you happen to make a reckless move or act too egocentrically. Once the Moon is transiting in Leo, it is always helpful to come from the heart in all vital discussions. Being altruistic and generous is the key to being happy as the lunar orb moves through this fifth sign of the zodiac. Trying to manipulate others or lord it over them by claiming a divine right of kings and queens is a total no-no. Inspirations are flying fast as the Moon trines Uranus (6:05AM PDT). Hitting the high-tech, computer and electronics trail is once again back in style. This Moon-Uranus rapport is a key motivating aspect of the day and as long as you don’t overdo a good thing or become super-obstinate during the Moon’s square to Jupiter in plodding Taurus (2:38PM PDT), you should be in good shape for a fun-loving evening.

Cosmic Calendar for October 18th

The good news right now is that there is less intensity happening in the psychic atmosphere today than yesterday. However, some of the havoc created on Monday – via the Mars-Uranus and Mercury-Jupiter clashes – still remains in effect. Meanwhile, the Moon in Cancer is your celestial reminder to deal with residential chores like making the kitchen and bath areas shine again, sprucing up the living room or conducting major clean-up campaigns. Cooking and baking are highlighted. Experimenting with soups, chowders and seafood dishes hits the spot. After the Moon creates some consternation by opposing Pluto (4:35AM PDT), the lunar orb is a favorable influence by forming a supportive, 60-degree alliance with giant Jupiter (7:33AM PDT), and making flowing trines to Mercury (10:31AM PDT) and Venus (6:01PM PDT). The major challenging planetary conflict comes from Mars forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Ceres (12:11PM PDT). Be extra sensitive and kind to maternal figures, children and pets. Becoming angry over a trifle is taboo. A wave of nostalgia can easily rise to the surface tonight under the Cancer Moon vibrations which often summon the past and historical events with ease. A Mercury-Venus parallel (9:57PM PDT) can also be a signal that all is well on the friendship and romantic fronts since both of these celestial bodies are in passion-centered Scorpio.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, October 17th

For the first day of a workweek in October, this is not an ideal situation. There is an illusion that all is well, and this is coming from a superlative, flowing trine in air signs from the Moon in Gemini to the Sun in Libra (6:38AM PDT). Any lunar-solar combination like this is favorable in a general sort of way, but it is what precedes it and follows it which is alarming. At 4:09AM PDT, the red planet Mars makes a caustic, 135-degree link to revolutionary Uranus. The most explosive planetary pair in astrology is Mars-Uranus. Whenever they enter into a challenging geometrical configuration, sparks can definitely fly. Strive to create serenity throughout your aura for several hours before and after this sky pattern is exact. Meanwhile, Mercury makes its annual opposition to Jupiter (11:56AM PDT) – linking Scorpio to Taurus. In traditional astrology, Mercury and Jupiter rule the four mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. As such, these two planets have a lot to do with the realms of communication and transportation. When Mercury opposes Jupiter, there can be breakdowns, snafus, and upheavals in these areas of activity within humanity. Of course, any opposition can still rise to the occasion as a source of mental expansion and enlightenment, but in the modern world and in terms of millions of people going to jobs and traveling on busy highways, any Mercury-Jupiter polarity needs to be monitored with care. A void lunar cycle develops at 3:19PM PDT and continues until 6:39PM PDT when the Moon enters Cancer – the sign of its natural abode. After 6:39PM PDT, home and family matters tend to trump everything else.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, October 10th

Although we may be dreaming of the future or reminiscing about the past, the Moon’s blast into fiery Aries at 8:57 am EDT resets our emotional cycles and brings our feelings back to the present moment. The power of now is intensified by the Moon’s conjunction with instantaneous Uranus and her square with unrelenting Pluto. Meanwhile, we’re challenged to stabilize our desires today as attractive Venus forms an uncomfortable quincunx with Uranus.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re riding on an adrenaline surge today and although you like it, you’d be happier if you thought you were in charge of your own life. As it is, you might have authority over some things, but the larger waves are completely out of your control. Don’t bother wasting your time attempting to change circumstances that are beyond your reach; instead, focus on responding to the shifting currents as best as you can.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not feel very relaxed today, yet you can be very productive if you forget about trying to take the day off. Ironically, you may enjoy doing mundane chores around the home or office once you get into gear. But don’t seek approval from anyone else; unfortunately, others probably won’t tell you what you want to hear now. Work for the satisfaction of a job well done.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This can be an exciting day if you aren’t afraid of trying something completely new and different. Push beyond your old limits, but don’t take yourself too seriously in the process. Although you’re often more lighthearted, you could be overly concerned now about getting everything just right. Relax your expectations so you can have fun, no matter what happens.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are tempted to take on too much today and might feel discouraged later on, once you realize that you can’t complete everything you started. Thankfully, the solution is rather simple: be more cautious prior to making a commitment. It’s a good idea to begin a project slowly and pick up speed as you go along. It’s always better to promise less and deliver more.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ready to cook up a grandiose scheme with today’s enterprising Aries Moon visiting your 9th House of Big Ideas. Luckily, courageous Mars in your fixed sign now gives you the unflappable determination to turn the craziest of your ideas into reality. If you recently scaled back a project, consider pushing it forward again until you can see progress.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You try to think of everything in advance, but no amount of detailed research can prepare you for the surprising twists and turns that your life is currently taking. However, don’t get so caught up in the present moment or you’ll forget about your original intention. Nevertheless, setting your old plans aside enables you to be even more effective in executing your new ones.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone might catch you off guard by overreacting to what you say or do in a way that’s hard to understand. But don’t be negative today just because you are uncomfortable with anyone who takes an approach that is different from yours. Even if others seem brash, remember that you can be big enough to allow for the wide variety of people you encounter. Taking the high road now may be more beneficial than you expect.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might not have much patience today, yet your spontaneity is countered by your unrelenting drive to finish anything you start. It would be a mistake for anyone to think that you are all talk now, even if you have a lot to say. Back up your promises with decisive action that is focused on getting your work completed as quickly as possible.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are in a high-frequency state of excitement, but some of your intensity is less than apparent. With Venus now in your 12th House of Secrets, there may be more going on than is stated in today’s subject line. But your self-expression is irrepressible, spurring you to find ways to work off some of your excess energy. Hitting the gym or taking a long walk may be an ideal way to get your mojo flowing and things moving in the right direction.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could be a bit frustrated today because you don’t feel like fighting to stay on top; however, you don’t want to convince yourself to relax now, only to discover that you missed an important opportunity. The biggest challenge is in believing that things really could get easier from this point on. But whether or not the hardest part is over, you can set your life in a better direction by affirming your positive future in the present moment.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have an idea about how you want to spend your day until someone crosses your path with an entirely different agenda. Your immediate reaction is to explain why your plan is the best course of action. However, you’ll only create bigger problems if you set up a competitive situation where there will be only one winner. Establishing common ground enables everyone to work successfully together as a team.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t like it if anyone tells you what to do today, especially since your mind is already made up. Nevertheless, it’s much better to avoid open conflict now and visualize what could be possible if everyone was more cooperative. However, you don’t have to let others push you too far, especially if they’re messing with your core values. Give them a fair warning and then take whatever action is required to maintain your integrity.
