Cosmic Calendar – July 24

Once you get through the main challenge of the day – a caustic, 45-degree skirmish between Mars in Gemini and Jupiter in Taurus (12:08AM PDT) – the universe pretty much gives you a wide-open Sunday to do whatever you want. Yes, any Mars-Jupiter joust can be somewhat jarring and provocative – physically, emotionally and mentally. Therefore, don’t think the Mars-Jupiter encounter is a trifle. Nevertheless, the Sun parallels the Moon at 8:14AM PDT – an alignment that has similar energy to their monthly union in the zodiac. As a reminder, parallels and contra-parallels are solar, lunar and planetary alignments calculated (North and South) relative to the Celestial Equator rather than the Ecliptic (Earth’s path around the Sun). The parallels and contra-parallels reveal a more vertical, power-oriented focus than the zodiacal aspects – which are more relationship-oriented because they are calculated in a horizontal manner along the Ecliptic. Utilize the grounded, practical and pragmatic vibrations of Taurus Moon today to get all your cylinders clicking in gear. Give stubborn behavior patterns the boot. Return to physical fitness routines with enthusiasm. The love boat enters exotic ports of call tonight as the Moon in Taurus approaches a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Venus in Cancer (forming exactly at 1:45AM PDT on Monday). Social activities and the creative arts can also become your personal playgrounds.

The Sun in Cancer
While the Sun is in Cancer family and home are the primary influences. Affection between family members is likely to increase. Familial bonds are likely to strengthen. Now is an ideal time to make improvements that make home life more comfortable and safe for all. Feelings of concern and compassion for the plight of others beyond the family should be quite strong at this time. Many may use this time to retreat and revitalize physical and spiritual energies.

Sun Conjunct Venus
Optimism and kindness are likely to be strong. The desire to be liked by others may be quite powerful as well. Some will exude unusual amounts of charm at this time.

Sun Sextile or Trine Uranus
Creative juices should be high at this time. Non traditional thinking is favored.

Moon In Aries
Emotions are likely to have a strong influence on behavior. Decisive action and courage are favored at this time. Those who assume the role of leader will do well as long as they don’t allow themselves to become too domineering.

Moon Opposition or Square Saturn
Self-doubt could stymie progress for some during this aspect. Many will find it difficult to handle even the most constructive criticism. Some will be so disaffected by the influence of this aspect that they retreat into their inner-world.

Moon Conjunct Uranus
The need for risks and adventure may be very strong at the moment. Unusual experiences could be very attractive.

Mercury In Leo
Logical thinking and consistent behavior are favored. While there may be a pronounced laid-back attitude towards life, an underlying need to succeed and solid planning will power progress. Now is a good time to further one’s education.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Mars
Persuasion through verbalizing sound ideas is a key to success during this aspect. Be wary of becoming dogmatic and verbally domineering.

Mercury Opposition or Square Neptune
This aspect favors those with a rich imagination. Those possessing psychic abilities are likely to be at the peak of their powers.

Venus In Cancer
The need to physically and spiritually express one’s love for their partner may be a very strong motivator. Indeed, the need to please may be so strong that it becomes so free floating that almost anyone could be the recipient.

 

Mars In Gemini
Short term projects are favored. The tendency to take on more than one project at a time could be strong, and should be managed to avoid taking on more than can be done. Mental labor is favored over physical labor.

 

Jupiter In Aries
Material gain and lifestyle security will be strong influences during this period. Many may take life much more seriously than they usually do. Tackling challenges from a practical approach is likely to yield positive results.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Pluto
Visions of what is possible on a grand scale are likely during this aspect. Those who set their goals according to their current vision are likely to do well.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Saturn Opposition or Square Uranus
Those who aren’t afraid of a little hard work are favored by this aspect. Remaining focused and taking things seriously are likely to produce substantial rewards. The ability to quickly change to stay atop rapidly evolving circumstances is a very valuable asset at this time.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Neptune In Pisces
Because Neptune takes approximately 14 years to move across Pisces its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Neptune in Pisces is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

Neptune Trine Pluto
The exploration of spiritual issues is favored during this aspect. Introspection should lead many to better understand the underlying motives behind their behavior.

Pluto In Capricorn
Because Pluto takes approximately 15 years to move across Capricorn its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 15 – 17

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Easy, Breezy

July 15 – 17

A Full Moon in hyper-responsible Capricorn late on Thursday night tends to place productivity above pleasure as you’re reminded of your worldly obligations. Happily, for lovers and those seeking romance, the Moon floats into airy Aquarius on Friday afternoon to blow away accumulated worries. This friendly sign sets the mood for the weekend, making it easy to connect with people as conversations flow freely.

A non-judgmental atmosphere opens minds to all different styles of dress and entertainment. A more tolerant environment is great for exploring unusual individuals and unfamiliar experiences. Experimenting within a current partnership or when seeking a new romance reduces the pressure and increases interest.

You are able to strike a healthy balance between your need for adventure and a more mature approach to your obligations as the Moon aligns favorably with reliable Saturn on Saturday morning and with passionate Mars that night. But all this activity occurs in air signs that are more comfortable with ideas than emotions.

People may appear to be open and accessible, which is true to a degree, but you could come away with the feeling that you haven�t connected in a deep way. If you try to crowd someone or feel like a person is invading your personal space, politely step away and explain your need for a little privacy.

The weekend works best for those who like romance on a non-committal level, as if it’s a chance encounter of two ships passing in the night. Deep feelings and intimate moments are still possible; just don’t expect most people to be in the mood to deal with the sticky details of complicated emotions.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 14th

Today’s serious Capricorn Moon reminds us that giving emotions free rein can add complexity to what we must accomplish in the real world. Unfortunately, we can overcompensate by totally ignoring our feelings, possibly creating a situation where they later erupt with even greater intensity. A creative quintile between energetic Mars and electrical Uranus might act as a lightning rod, attracting a catalytic spark that releases the hidden tensions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might think that working extra hard today will enable you to do everything that is expected of you. However, a magical quintile between your key planet Mars and brilliant Uranus can create some distracting fireworks. An unexpected series of events could turn your day into an obstacle course. Nevertheless, don’t blame your shortfall on someone else; how you handle your responsibilities is still up to you.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have a variety of alternatives to pick from today as you contemplate where you want to go. But your resources seem to be limited by the current circumstances, so you need to be creative enough to find the best route to your goals. Whether you lack money or time, don’t waste your energy by micromanaging the details of every contingency. Narrow the field of options before you start fine-tuning your plan.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s becoming more apparent day by day that you can’t do everything you set your heart on, even though you’re ready to give it all you’ve got. Unfortunately, using brute force will only exhaust you, without guaranteeing that you’ll accomplish your goals. Instead, try a different tactic now by employing self-discipline. Reining in your activities will make you happier in the long run. Remember, a focused approach is better than a scattered one.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s admirable to be sensitive to the needs of others, but it’s not healthy if your happiness depends on someone else’s feelings. The biggest problem with putting the determinant of your emotional well-being in anyone else’s hands is that you can’t be responsible for other people’s shifting moods. Fortunately, you can have positive impact on a situation by changing your own attitude. Remember, nurturing begins with taking care yourself.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may sense the emotional tension increasing between you and your workmates. Unfortunately, you might not know how to react. It’s useless to try and change what you’re feeling when all you need to do is improve your outward behavior. Nevertheless, you will only fuel inner conflict today by making believe that everything is okay. Ultimately, total honesty is the wisest defense.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Thankfully, the intensity level at work seems to be lower now, yet you’re still not convinced that everything is really returning to normal. To the contrary, you might be wondering if anything in your life will ever be the same. Fortunately, you don’t need to take major action today. Just recognize that although this is a stressful period, you can still have a positive outlook about current events.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Family can bring extra parental responsibilities or other familial commitments, creating a little crisis as you attempt to squeeze everything into your schedule. It’s a real problem because there’s so much to do that you can’t possibly feel satisfied by the amount you manage to accomplish. Unfortunately, your anxiety probably won’t prevent you from trying the impossible. However, the sooner you simplify your environment, the more time you’ll have available for others.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You had a chance recently to share what’s on your mind with friends. Unfortunately, your window of opportunity is starting to close, so you must jump into the conversation as quickly as possible. The time for contemplation has passed. Whatever remains unsaid today may be banished into the shadows for an indeterminate amount of time.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You need to be serious now and expect others to respect your somber attitude. However, you still may be unable to concentrate on your current obligations. Good intentions may not take you as far as you want to go today; you have to walk your talk to be recognized. Coming up with all the right words is easy now; however, it’s quite another thing to put them into action.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might claim that you aren’t trying to get ahead at work now, but something is changing and you would be wise to make the most of it. It’s tempting to ignore the current pressures, yet the instability may be just the catalyst you need. But it’s not just about grabbing an irresistible opportunity; the real message is about how your desires are awakening. Set new long-term goals that can ultimately fulfill your most basic needs.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might try to float through the day by doing as little as possible, but you won’t likely get away with it. Even if you don’t do much, you may retrospectively wish that you worked harder in the morning. You won’t be able to accept a surprise invitation later in the day if you’re not finished with your duties. But if you already fulfilled your responsibilities, this afternoon can bring unexpected pleasure.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can talk yourself out of your confidence as the day wears on, especially if you agreed to show up at a social event this evening. But retreating for a while enables you to emerge physically refreshed and emotionally recharged, ready for another round of battles to fight off unnecessary change. Don’t be afraid of expressing your own power now, even if you think that you should wait for a better time to act.

Venus Opposition or Square Saturn
This aspect tends to add a serious tone to life. Pursuing practical goals is favored. Some may feel a little less deserving than they usually do.

Venus Opposition or Square Uranus

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 12th

We may be caught between two opposing cosmic messages today as the outgoing Sagittarius Moon lifts our spirits and widens our horizons. Her harmonious aspects to chatty Mercury and active Mars help us to communicate clearly while encouraging energetic interactions with others. However, affectionate Venus, already hesitant in timid Cancer, forms a stressful square with somber Saturn. Instead of turning on the charm, we may seek isolation instead.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may grow tired of encouraging other people’s ideas, especially if they don’t even seem to listen to yours. You want to maintain a positive attitude, but could withdraw your support if your irritation turns to resentment. Be careful how you express your frustration. Leaving close friends and co-workers to fend for themselves will only increase ill will. There’s no need to overreact; expressing your concerns is healthy, but you don’t have to alienate others in the process.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

An unresolved issue with a workmate needs to be addressed as your key planet Venus harshly squares authoritative Saturn. You understand the importance of sharing your feelings now, but fear the negative consequences of being completely honest. Nevertheless, you must say what’s on your mind or people will draw incorrect conclusions because they lack the basic facts. Being kind to others will help you move through a conflict gracefully.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may go through a day or two of self-doubt as Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Worth squares hard-nosed Saturn. Take time to consider what is most important to you, but don’t minimize the needs of others. Even if you aren’t happy enough to dance in the streets, don’t take it out on those nearby. Simply do what you must to make yourself more comfortable and then get busy with what must be done. Your life will quickly improve on its own if you don’t focus solely on what’s wrong.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Tough Saturn squares sweet Venus in your sensitive sign, signifying changes in your personal life. You are at the end of a cycle, but not ready yet to begin the next one. You might not be able to see the opportunities that are coming your way, but they are just around the corner. Don’t panic and try to make something happen, but don’t give up prematurely, either. Just accept that you still need time to process recent events before jumping ahead into something new.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be anxious today, even if you cannot logically determine the source of your feelings. There could be specific issues that you’re dealing with, but your worry might be out of proportion with what’s actually happening now. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to avoid your feelings; denial only strengthens them. Instead, pay careful attention to all physical symptoms without trying to control your sensations. Resistance is futile, so let your emotions ripple through the present moment. Tomorrow will be a brand new day.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

In theory, you want to be included in a larger group of friends or associates, but you’re more comfortable being an outsider today. You might think that everyone disagrees with you now, and you may feel excluded even if you don’t voice your opinions. Ironically, you will be more accepted if you let your peers know exactly where you stand. No one can fault you for speaking from the heart.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus, now visiting your 10th House of Career, provokes feelings of loneliness as she squares judgmental Saturn. Emotional stress that has been pressurizing for a while could suddenly explode and turn your professional life upside down. Instead of worrying about the unknown, embrace the upcoming shift. Even if you face a temporary setback, the lessons you learn today can help to reestablish equilibrium in your life.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The recent emphasis on your 9th House of Higher Truth enables you to see far into your own future. However, you might not be pleased with where your current path is now leading. But instead of allowing yourself to grow discouraged, concentrate on the possibilities ahead. Don’t alter your present course, even if you’re feeling as if something has gone awry. Today’s malaise will pass, leaving you with a clearer sense of what to do tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are a champ at making your life look fabulous, yet today you might be hurting deep inside where others won’t notice. You may even be uncharacteristically self-critical because your shortcomings are so apparent to you now. You will feel better if you share your new realizations with someone who will give you honest feedback. However, it’s not wise to blab about your secrets to everyone, so choose your confidants carefully before you entrust them with your heart.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel lonely today as loving Venus in your 7th House of Others squares your key planet, Saturn the Taskmaster. You don’t like it when someone comes down hard on you or makes unreasonable demands. However, logic can’t help you decide how to respond now; trust your instincts, instead. If your gut tells you no, then don’t do it. On the other hand, if you think you should get involved, give it one hundred percent, even if you must set aside a previous commitment.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your regular routine may feel oppressive today, yet there’s no simple escape route. Nevertheless, it’s still a smart idea to think about what you are doing and why you continue to do it. Naturally, breaking out of a rut sounds good, but maintaining the status quo feels much safer now. Don’t make any changes until you are ready. Your motivation needs to come from within to have a significant impact.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Others may think that they understand you well enough to give you advice; however, their false assumptions only serve to alienate you. Their expectations can be quite unrealistic, yet these unfair judgments hold power over you now. Don’t make any long-term decisions today, for your current emotional disconnection is warping your perspective. Be patient; a more positive outlook will return in a day or two.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 11th

It’s easy for our feelings to grow out of control once the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 5:46 am EDT. We’re motivated to express ourselves in a big way without worrying about the consequences, but we can miss important subtleties in our rush for recognition. Fortunately, we get cosmic help as energetic Mars in interactive Gemini creates a supportive sextile with communicator Mercury. However, the quickest response isn’t always the best one.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re very excited about all the possibilities in your life now that the fiery Sagittarius Moon is tempting you to push your limits even further. You could even believe that the signs are telling you to go ahead and do it all, even if you don’t have enough energy to keep up with such an active schedule. Be smart and practice saying no, or you might spread yourself so thin that you end up exhausting yourself and having no fun at all.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may spend too much money on something you don’t really need, but impulsive purchases aren’t necessarily a smart idea today. Although you might regret your momentary lack of fiscal discipline, you could be motivated to act now if you think that you’ll lose your chance by letting the opportunity pass. However, the sense of urgency is an illusion and isn’t based on what’s actually happening. You can avoid buyer’s remorse if you simply take extra time to weigh your options prior to opening your wallet.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury harmonizes with pushy Mars in your friendly sign today, provoking you to talk up a storm. But however enticing a social invitation sounds now, you might need some time to relax away from other people. Everyone seems to be encouraging you to do more, but you don’t have to live up to their expectations. Instead of succumbing to peer pressure, listen to your own voice and do what sounds right.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment may mean that your big ideas about what you intend to accomplish at work today are not realistic. It’s healthy to remember that even your most sensible plans might need to be set aside if you’re distracted by something more interesting than your responsibilities. It’s not that you’re feeling scattered; it’s just that boredom is setting in. It’s okay to explore new avenues of expression as long as you follow through with everything you start.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are highly enthusiastic about playing with your friends, even if you have real work to do today. It’s hard to get the fun and games out of your mind, whether or not you can participate in them. However, you may be tired of having to take the lead to make anything happen. Acknowledging that you deserve some downtime is part of your solution now; the other part is scheduling your day so you fit in some work and some play.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel as if you’re at odds with yourself today because you can’t find the right balance between too little and too much. You are naturally competent in handling details. However, your current extravagance tempts you to promise more than you can deliver, especially if you skim over a crucial piece of information. Thinking about all the possibilities now is healthy as long as you remember that your common sense is still your greatest asset.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends may believe that you’re a bit imbalanced today, especially if your optimism pushes you toward big thinking. Although everything may appear better than it actually is now, you might overcompensate by seeing potential problems everywhere you look. Keep in mind that the truth is somewhere in between the extremes and it’s smarter to moderate your enthusiasm rather than going overboard in either direction.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be willing to let go of your financial concerns, even if you’re more positive now about the future. The upbeat Sagittarius Moon shines a spotlight on your 2nd House of Possessions now and you recognize that your success depends upon consolidating your gains. If you try to bolt ahead too quickly, you may end up jeopardizing your progress. Allow your enthusiasm to build, but move forward cautiously until you build a momentum that you can sustain.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s return to inspirational Sagittarius reminds you of how significant your feelings are to your happiness. Unfortunately, you are sometimes tempted to override your emotions if they get in the way of an exciting activity. However, you are unable to ignore what your body tells you today. Your moods are vital indicators of your overall well-being now, so pay extra careful attention to honoring what your heart needs.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Paradoxically, you may be very talkative today, even though you might prefer being left alone. You aren’t ready to engage with the noise of the world now and it would be wise to avoid unnecessary social events and gatherings of large groups of people. Initiating meaningful one-on-one conversations allows you to connect on a deeper level with someone special. Even if being accepted by a club or a clique could help you achieve your goals, save the socializing for another day.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re buzzing today as the Moon in your 11th House of Friends and Associates fires up your social life, even if it’s a workday. It’s not easy to stay serious about your job now, unless it involves interacting with your peers. You want to be connected with your tribe, even if it’s in a business rather than a personal setting. Fortunately, you’ll receive the support and admiration of your co-workers if you take care of your obligations as expected.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your vision of the future captures the imagination of your associates today, leading you to assume a greater amount of authority. You may not want to be the boss, but others realize that you’re one of the few people who actually understand what’s happening. Don’t turn down a leadership role if you are chosen by your peers. Stand up and play your part; you will be able to step back with a sense of accomplishment later on.

The Sun in Cancer
While the Sun is in Cancer family and home are the primary influences. Affection between family members is likely to increase. Familial bonds are likely to strengthen. Now is an ideal time to make improvements that make home life more comfortable and safe for all. Feelings of concern and compassion for the plight of others beyond the family should be quite strong at this time. Many may use this time to retreat and revitalize physical and spiritual energies.

Sun Opposition or Square Saturn
One’s picture of one’s self may be a bit muddled at this time. Self-doubt will dampen the spirit of many.

Moon In Virgo
Affection is likely to be expressed by proactive action. Overt displays of love may be difficult for many to muster. Much of the affection one is shown may looked upon as suspect. Avoid endlessly critiquing yourself and those around you.

 

Mercury In Leo
Logical thinking and consistent behavior are favored. While there may be a pronounced laid-back attitude towards life, an underlying need to succeed and solid planning will power progress. Now is a good time to further one’s education.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Mars
Persuasion through verbalizing sound ideas is a key to success during this aspect. Be wary of becoming dogmatic and verbally domineering.

Mercury Opposition or Square Jupiter
Ideas and schemes are likely to abound during this aspect. The trick will be to determine which ideas and schemes are actually viable. Focusing on the future is favored during this aspect.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Saturn
Focus and formulating logical solutions to challenges is favored during this aspect.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Uranus
The need for personal freedom is likely to be very high. Those who can wade through moments of chaos and confusion without panicking should do well at this time.

Venus In Cancer
The need to physically and spiritually express one’s love for their partner may be a very strong motivator. Indeed, the need to please may be so strong that it becomes so free floating that almost anyone could be the recipient.

Venus Sextile or Trine Jupiter
This aspect can lead one to be a bit indolent. If you need a break from your life’s current pace that’s great. However, if things in your life are at a critical stage, resisting the urge to take it easy is definitely suggested.

Venus Opposition or Square Uranus
The need for a tremendous amount of personal freedom is a key influence of this aspect. Relationships formed during this period are likely to be superficial and short lived.

Venus Sextile or Trine Neptune
During this aspect many will find giving far more rewarding than receiving. The arts are likely to be very attractive as either a pursuit or experience or both.

Venus Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect can bring one’s passions to a boil. The need for both physical and spiritual love may seem almost insatiable in some. In some cases passions may erupt into jealousy, as some will feel the need to be in control of every facet of their relationship to feel secure.

Mars In Gemini
Short term projects are favored. The tendency to take on more than one project at a time could be strong, and should be managed to avoid taking on more than can be done. Mental labor is favored over physical labor.

Mars Sextile or Trine Saturn
Long term goals are favored by this aspect. The willingness to sacrifice and the determination to succeed will further ensure success will be realized.

Jupiter In Aries
Material gain and lifestyle security will be strong influences during this period. Many may take life much more seriously than they usually do. Tackling challenges from a practical approach is likely to yield positive results.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Neptune
Maintaining an open mind to all possibilities is favored during this aspect.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Pluto
Visions of what is possible on a grand scale are likely during this aspect. Those who set their goals according to their current vision are likely to do well.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Saturn Opposition or Square Uranus
Those who aren’t afraid of a little hard work are favored by this aspect. Remaining focused and taking things seriously are likely to produce substantial rewards. The ability to quickly change to stay atop rapidly evolving circumstances is a very valuable asset at this time.

Saturn Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect may make it difficult to commit one’s self to anything beyond the moment at hand. However, those who do take on new goals will put the full force of their nature into achieving them.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for July 6th is Beacon

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

The Beacon

The Beacon symbolizes both guidance to safe harbors and a warning of dangerous waters. The Beacon is represented by a lighthouse atop jagged rocks with its powerful light cutting a path that leads to an adjacent entrance to a calm harbor on a stormy night. The Beacon suggest that if you look for it, there is a general path for you to follow to reach a place of peace and harmony. However, The Beacon itself sets upon rough ground, so you must still step carefully as you follow it to quiet waters.

As a daily card, The Beacon provides guidance away from conflict. It implies that the path to resolving differences is marked and visible to any who look for it. The Beacon also warns that while there is a way to quell strife, you still must move carefully towards a solution.

Daily Horoscopes for July 6th

We receive stabilizing support from ambitious Saturn’s easy trine to assertive Mars because we’re able to see results from what we do today. It’s wise to use this energy to consciously start a project now without taking any shortcuts. Meanwhile, the discriminating Virgo Moon reminds us that perfection is worth attaining. Although we may become so hung up in the details as we consider each alternative, the answers won’t come from logical analysis.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although this has been a high-intensity week, you’re ready to settle down and get some work done as your key planet Mars is motivated by taskmaster Saturn. Thankfully, the discriminating Virgo Moon helps you limit unnecessary activities. Rather than wasting time and scattering your energy, focus on the variety of things you have to do now. Even if it’s difficult for you to commit to a schedule, today it is required.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may breathe a sigh of relief now that the Moon is in fellow Earth sign Virgo. A familiar wave of practicality washes away the heightened intensity of the past few days. But this is no time to get lazy, for there is still so much to do. Fortunately, your actions seem to be on target today, enabling you to accomplish what must be done.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are pulled in several directions as you sort out the most productive way to move through your busy day. Although you’re eager for experiences that pique your curiosity, you don’t have enough time to take everything in. You may be quite talkative and wish that you could interact with nearly everyone you meet, but you must make tough choices and limit your activities. Finding balance isn’t easy, yet thinking carefully about your decisions before you make them assures the best possible outcome.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Others may not be able to see past your hard-working exterior today, but your emotions are running strong and deep. You’ll feel better once you take a few deep breaths and give yourself some time to contemplate what works best for you. Otherwise, you’ll just get swept up into doing what’s expected, even if it means hiding what’s truly important to you now. If anyone pressures you to do anything that’s outside of your comfort zone, set clear boundaries before things become more complicated.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A melodrama is beginning to fade while your common sense grows stronger by the hour. You have no interest in being waylaid by anyone’s emotionally intense story today, especially one that appears to go nowhere useful. Instead, apply your efforts toward making your day more efficient. Work hard, but once you meet your obligations, choose rest over frivolous activities. Conserving your energy is wise because it will take you longer than a day or two to finish your project.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to your sign is a strong reminder today that efficiently managing your internal world is a necessary part of putting your external affairs in order. Today’s attitude sets the stage for what’s ahead and if you let yourself become overwhelmed, things will only get harder to handle as the days fly by. But positive thinking isn’t enough; hard work is your most reliable tactic to achieve success.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You aren’t eager to reveal your innermost feelings today, but thankfully others might not even notice that you’re hiding something. It isn’t that you have big dark secrets; you’re just trying to prevent your relationships from growing more complicated. Consider the potential impact of what you do prior to taking action. Practicing a bit of self-restraint now is easier than dealing with the negative consequences afterward.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends may be overly critical about your work today as the Moon finishes up her stay in your social 11th house. Fortunately, you are self-assured now, enabling you to use the valuable feedback you receive without getting discouraged by anyone else’s judgments. Utilizing your common sense helps you avoid taking any comments too personally.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You want everyone to accept your authority today as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Public Status. However, it isn’t enough to be right; you also want others to appreciate you for your intelligence and your competence. Still, it’s tempting to get sidetracked by big ideas, so keep your plans simple and then do your best to make them real.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Ironically, it’s easier to have fun today if you also have responsibilities that demand your attention. Even if you cannot act on the spur of the moment to join others in a playful activity, you can include time for socializing into your schedule. As paradoxical as it sounds, establishing an agenda allows you to be more spontaneous.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to focus on your work today when you have so much self-analysis going on in your own mind. You are smart to channel your internal noise into creative pursuits, rather than just wasting your energy. Don’t be concerned if others think you are too serious now. You have pressing matters to handle that don’t leave you with a lot of time to engage in social niceties. Your actions will speak for you, instead.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may want to do things your own way today, you’ll get along better with everyone if you respect the perspectives of others. Don’t get so wrapped up in your own work that you cannot be sensitive to someone else. But there’s no reason to set aside your own needs in deference to the preferences of your workmates. Finding common ground enables you to do your own thing while still following the rules of the game.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for July 5th is Venus

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

Venus

Venus represents those qualities we commonly associate with the female/yin persona. Venus traits include fertility and the drive to create, unblemished beauty, love, passion, and togetherness. The occurrence of Venus denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. While often very subtle, Venetian influences may have a negative impact unless they are balanced with an influence that can temper the drive of Venus.

As a daily card, Venus suggest you should allow your more feminine traits to guide your actions through this period. Subtlety, efforts to bring people together and allowing your creativity to run free are likely to serve you well at this time. However, like Mars, the powers of Venus are very strong and can do more damage than good if not balanced by other influences.

For seekers of power this should be a favorable aspect. The desire to distinguish themselves from the field will be strong in some. The need to control situations may lead some to become fanatical about their pursuits.

Moon In Gemini
Many may find themselves disconnected from their emotions at this time. For some, their emotions, passions may make them a little uncomfortable. The need for mental stimulation is likely high.

Moon Conjunct Venus
Extra attention is likely to be given to children and family at this time.

Mercury In Cancer
Decisions are likely to be made with the heart and not the mind. Progress may be bogged down by a nostalgic outlook. Communication may suffer from the fear that to express one’s thoughts and feelings is to invite attack.

 

Venus In Gemini
Sexual energies are likely to be on the rise. Often they will be expressed in innocuous, good natured flirting, but sometimes the urge to exercise one’s sensuality may strongly influence behavior.

Venus Sextile or Trine Neptune
During this aspect many will find giving far more rewarding than receiving. The arts are likely to be very attractive as either a pursuit or experience or both.

Mars In Gemini
Short term projects are favored. The tendency to take on more than one project at a time could be strong, and should be managed to avoid taking on more than can be done. Mental labor is favored over physical labor.

Mars Sextile or Trine Saturn
Long term goals are favored by this aspect. The willingness to sacrifice and the determination to succeed will further ensure success will be realized.

Mars Sextile or Trine Uranus
This is an energizing, empowering aspect that favors those who act decisively. Generally, focusing on short term goals will produce positive results.

Mars Opposition or Square Neptune
The arts are likely to have a strong appeal during this aspect. Energies may be a bit low, so progress is more likely in when tackling short term projects that do not require large amounts of mental or physical energy.

Jupiter In Aries
Material gain and lifestyle security will be strong influences during this period. Many may take life much more seriously than they usually do. Tackling challenges from a practical approach is likely to yield positive results.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Neptune
Maintaining an open mind to all possibilities is favored during this aspect.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Pluto
Visions of what is possible on a grand scale are likely during this aspect. Those who set their goals according to their current vision are likely to do well.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Saturn Opposition or Square Uranus
Those who aren’t afraid of a little hard work are favored by this aspect. Remaining focused and taking things seriously are likely to produce substantial rewards. The ability to quickly change to stay atop rapidly evolving circumstances is a very valuable asset at this time.

Saturn Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect may make it difficult to commit one’s self to anything beyond the moment at hand. However, those who do take on new goals will put the full force of their nature into achieving them.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Neptune In Pisces
Because Neptune takes approximately 14 years to move across Pisces its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Neptune in Pisces is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

Neptune Trine Pluto
The exploration of spiritual issues is favored during this aspect. Introspection should lead many to better understand the underlying motives behind their behavior.

Pluto In Capricorn
Because Pluto takes approximately 15 years to move across Capricorn its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 29

Although we might expect life to be easy and breezy now that the Moon is in airy Gemini, there is a thickness to the day that’s difficult to avoid. Yesterday’s Sun-Pluto opposition was a tug-of-war between light and dark, yet at least we were aware of what was happening. Now, as the stress fades, energetic Mars forms an anxious quincunx to intense Pluto, making it difficult to gauge the fine line between asserting ourselves and being aggressive.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be pumped up today, but you wish that someone else would pick up your positive attitude and run with it. You can grow tired of being the one who always gets things going. You could be ready to give up or you might decide to give it one more try. Although a complicating quincunx between pushy Mars and unrelenting Pluto makes it almost impossible to know what’s best, trust your initial impulse and don’t let doubt slow you down.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you normally have plenty of common sense, you might throw caution to the wind if someone appeals to your more adventurous side today. You may even begin a conversation with a friend about a topic that’s usually off-limits. But don’t hesitate just because you cannot tell where your discussion will lead. If there’s a disagreement, it’s not even necessary to reach a resolution now. No matter what happens, breaking the silence is a step in the right direction.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Impatient Mars is in your sign now, provoking you to take direct action, even if you don’t have a plan in place. But its ill-adjusted aspect to powerful Pluto can play out like instant karma and may quickly punish you if you don’t consider other people’s feelings before rushing into something new. A little caution is advised or you could inadvertently offend someone, precipitating more drama than you want.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Don’t let anyone bully you into promising more than you can deliver today, for your desire to help might convince you to take on someone else’s troubles. Offering your assistance may be admirable, but the unrealistic expectations of others could leave you exhausted now without anything to show for your efforts. Remember, being compassionate is honorable, but you won’t be able to save another person unless you save yourself first.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You need to inform your friends about your position on a work-related issue today. You would be wise to explain yourself carefully because you want their support. But you’re tired of having to tell your story one more time, so everyone is able to understand your next move. Remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition; consider your audience and readjust your message as needed.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your actions may not be in full alignment with your intentions now. Although you have the words to explain what you’re doing, you lack the finesse to execute your plan. One strategy is to share your perspective based upon your analytical thinking. But then, set aside logic and do what feels right in your heart.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You would like to make your choice between two divergent positions today by finding a harmonious balance between the extremes. Although encouraging fair play is one of your strengths, it’s challenging when one person is saying “my way or the highway” so insistently that there’s no room to negotiate. You’re not the sole arbiter of the current situation, so you may need to relinquish control. Have faith that things will unfold as they should.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your two key planets are warrior Mars and ruthless Pluto. These tough planets are in a difficult quincunx aspect today, requiring you to tone down your message. Manage your overall energy carefully, for not everyone has the ability to match your intensity. Your passionate nature is a blessing, but sometimes it can feel like a curse. There’s no reason to be afraid of your own emotions; however, it’s a good idea to respect the boundaries of those who are.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may run out of patience today because you’re eager to explore what is beneath the surface. It’s particularly frustrating if you want to investigate a meaningful subject, yet others don’t understand what you’re talking about. Your friends probably have good intentions, but they aren’t able to slow down enough to notice what’s really important. If someone seems easily distracted, it’s a sign for you to retreat. Instead of pushing for a soul connection now, relax your agenda and make room for intimacy to happen more organically later on.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everyone at work may get on your nerves because no one is doing what’s expected of them. Expressing your anger, however, isn’t enough today. Losing your temper doesn’t motivate anyone to get on track, nor does it improve your attitude, either. Self-control is tricky business now, for unspoken emotions can have surprising consequences. Your wisest strategy is to tell your co-workers about your feelings without placing blame or expectations on them. Your disclosure clears the air and allows you to move on.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to share what’s in your heart today, but you might become hooked on your own words in the process. However, your ability to stay emotionally detached is a mixed blessing. It’s fortunate that you are able to communicate objectively, but your actions may appear awkward. Ultimately, it’s better to take extra time to acknowledge your feelings than to act them out unconsciously.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries is often difficult for you Fish, yet today it’s even harder than usual. You can trick yourself into believing that your feelings are logical, but caution is advised. Impulsive behavior can take you to the edge of predictability. Slow down, even if your thinking is lightning fast.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, June 27

The high-strung energy of innovative Uranus continues to impact our lives, but it’s easier to integrate unconventional behavior today as energetic Mars forms a cooperative sextile with Uranus. Nevertheless, we still can expect a display of fireworks from this electric connection. Although the earthy Taurus Moon helps to ground our energy, several anxious lunar aspects throughout the day indicate that we won’t be able to relax any time soon.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You know what you want, and you’re willing to take a risk to achieve satisfaction. Fortunately, your key planet Mars supports your impulsive behavior today with a cooperative sextile to erratic Uranus. Go ahead and push upagainst the restrictions; they just might give way and let you pass. But don’t expect everything to go smoothly; there still could be a few difficult bumps along the way.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s visit to your sign usually calms down your energy, but today you’re feeling restless and reckless. You wish that there was a straightforward route to your destination, but your path to success could be a crooked one. Instead of attempting to hide your uncertainty with arrogant behavior, wait until your best option becomes more apparent.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel as if you’re at the top of your game today, empowering you to show off your charm and quick wit. However, you might be so clever at telling your tale that you step over the fine line that usually separates fact and fiction. Your ability to put a positive spin on things enables you to impress everyone now, including yourself. Nevertheless, it would be wise to stick to the truth right from the start.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

People seem way too intense today and you aren’t having much luck at calming them down. However, this isn’t really about anyone else; it’s about managing your discomfort that arises when someone else appears to be out of control. Your lesson now is to recognize that you’re only responsible for your own emotions. Stay present with your feelings without putting up any unnecessary defenses in the process.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It seems as if you should be getting ready for a showdown today, but you’re not even sure why. Someone may be acting rather strangely now and something just isn’t making sense. You might be tempted to express your frustration as anger, yet you don’t really have a valid reason. Although you want to take action right away, be smart and let the situation unfold on its own until you have more information.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your natural analytical skills won’t be of much help because you’re not willing to spend time thinking about your options today. You can see a number of different routes that could further your career goals, yet you just want to take the path of least resistance. Luckily, the most creative solutions will come to you now while you are in motion, so don’t waste time sitting on the sidelines trying to logically decide your next move.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your day may be totally thrown off course by someone close to you doing something totally unexpected. Fortunately, what first seems like a setback or, at least a detour, could turn into a wonderful journey of discovery. However, you might miss out on an exciting little adventure if you try to resist the changes. Let your plans fall to the wayside and allow the unknown to pleasantly surprise you.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might become a bit frustrated today as irrepressible Mars in breezy Gemini scatters your energy. Although you prefer a deeper level of interaction, the current pace may be too hectic for the kind of communication you want. Don’t push too hard or the intensity you desire will appear in the form of resistance from others. Keep up with the rapidly changing circumstances for now and they will settle into more meaningful exchanges by tomorrow.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be more overbearing today than you realize. In fact, you are so forceful now that your co-workers might think that you’re being unreasonable. But your impulsive approach could produce quick results, so stick to your innovative plan even if it’s unproven. Don’t waste energy trying to convince others that your idea is a viable one. Ultimately, your success will speak volumes for you.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be growing more certain that you’re the only one who knows what’s happening and what to do about it. Your confidence can promote a false sense of authority, encouraging you to act first and ask questions later. But an error in judgment is possible if you become stuck on your plan. Keep in mind that you’re not the only one with a good idea; you will be much more successful if you incorporate multiple viewpoints into your perspective.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your strategy at work isn’t obvious to others, so they may not understand what you’re doing. The bottom line is that you don’t see reality in the same light as your associates because your plan isn’t bogged down in office politics or sentimental attachments. But you are able to be so objective that you might miss an important emotional component to your strategy. Nevertheless, don’t worry about ruffling someone’s feathers today; your brilliance shines through as long as you maintain your integrity.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s challenging to concentrate on your current job now because you may be trying to do too many things all at once. You could get dragged into an argument you cannot win if someone questions your ability to deliver on your promises. Don’t try to justify your actions because your logic isn’t as solid as you think. Your accomplishments will be your best defense as long as you remember to keep refocusing on your goals.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 22

The imaginative Pisces Moon tempts us to choose fantasy over reality. Meanwhile two aspects highlight Pisces’ key planet Neptune, further spiritualizing and mystifying our lives: Assertive Mars squares Neptune, provoking us to act foolishly. While we can inadvertently mislead others or confuse ourselves, the Sun’s harmonious trine to Neptune indicates that our best ideas are still intuitive. Ultimately, our dreams can help us grow in many ways.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Saying something with authority doesn’t make it true, but pushy Mars’ square with deceptive Neptune tempts you to try this ploy as a strategy today. You may actually believe that you can talk someone into seeing the world through your eyes. But overpowering others by insisting you’re right only makes you sound foolish, because your rationalizations are more transparent than you realize. There’s no need to pretend that you’re in control when you’re not. Those who know you love you simply for being yourself.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your future is looking bright today, but you may not be heading in the right direction to actually make your dreams come true. It’s not that your goals are unrealistic; it’s just that you can underestimate the resources necessary to reach your destination. Thankfully, if you let your imagination wander, you can see possibilities that others miss. Just remember to draw a line to separate fact from fancy or you could be rudely surprised by the outcome.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be happy that your brightest dreams are ripe for picking, but don’t let your confidence run away with the show while confusing Neptune is in your 10th House of Status. You might believe that you can be successful without working harder, but this illusion will dissipate as circumstances change. If an idealistic fantasy fades as you get closer to it, it’s best to let it go and move on to something else.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It may seem as if you have all the words necessary to describe your hopeful feelings today, yet you still cannot initiate a conversation about your dreams of the future. Don’t waste energy being self-critical now, for you are wise to keep your vision to yourself until you have a good reason to share it. It’s not useful to reveal your plan prematurely or you might create an awkward moment. Be patient and remain quiet just a little bit longer.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It feels as if you’re in an idyllic social situation today and that everyone seems to support your decisions. You’re not even thinking about what you should do next; you’re in the flow and everything is just happening naturally. However, your desire for a deeper connection doesn’t play well with your current energy, which may be more scattered now. You can maintain the status quo by temporarily keeping your emotions to yourself.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s challenging to relax today because you’re afraid of what may happen if you don’t resist the prevailing emotional currents. You would prefer to be rational and in control one hundred percent of the time, but unfortunately you are not. Therefore, your most logical strategy is to avoid getting hooked by your desires. However, attempts to deny your needs give power to whatever you fear most. Escape your regular routine; lead with your imagination and not your analytical thoughts.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Starting your job early in the day sounds like an intelligent idea, but nothing seems to go as planned. Your positive attitude is the most important deciding factor now in whether you can put your schedule back on track or if it will completely derail. Don’t become too rigid now if you run into an obstacle; being flexible will actually enable you to regain control later.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be quite eager to take the easy way out today. Typically, you stick to your principles, even if your idealistic approach complicates your life. But you have a long-term plan now and you’re not willing to jeopardize it over any one particular issue. Although choosing your battles wisely is always a smart strategy, compromising your values can create even more problems down the road.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your imagination is extremely vivid today, encouraging you to mix up your daydreams with your reality. You may actually believe that you can get more done than is possible because everything happens so smoothly in your mind. Unfortunately, each task takes more time than you think. You could end up in trouble if you race through a chore, believing you can make up for lost time. Instead, promise less and deliver more.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may fool your workmates today by pretending to be busier than you actually are. If you want to be recognized for your contribution to a project, don’t try so hard to make yourself look good. If you take your little song and dance too far, you might inadvertently overstep your bounds. You are better off by just working hard and then letting the chips fall where they may.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are extra creative today as Mars, now in your 5th House of Self-Expression, is agitated by imaginative Neptune. However, your production can be delayed or even blocked by your lack of a concrete plan. Nevertheless, you could feel as if you’re wasting time managing the unexpected interruptions, but it’s wise to just handle them as they occur. Oddly enough, the distractions might inspire you to even greater heights.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A personal issue — domestic or romantic — may rattle your nerves today, yet you don’t quite know how to settle yourself down. It’s all too easy for you to shut out your problems for a while by withdrawing into your imagination. But escaping into Fantasyland works best for only brief moments of time, prior to returning to the real world issues. Working on tangible solutions is productive, though tensions may not ease until tomorrow.

General Weekly Love Horoscope for the Week of June 20

There’s a fresh wind of playfulness and flirtation in the air this week as passionate Mars enters breezy Gemini on Monday. It should be easy to connect with others, but more difficult to maintain focus and honor commitment with this easily distracted transit. Holding on to fixed patterns and plans could be a significant challenge now; embracing change will make life sweeter all the way around.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your curiosity is aroused as your energetic ruling planet Mars visits diversity-seeking Gemini and your chatty 3rd house this week. However, a tendency to skip out on your obligations can prove problematic this weekend when the Moon in stable Taurus dips into your secretive 12th House. Letting others in on your plans is the least you can do. A bit of consideration for the feelings of those around you is worth the effort.

 
Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s shift into your stubborn sign on Saturday afternoon increases your need for comfort and pleasure. But the consistency you desire may be hard to come by as the Sun forms a stressful square with revolutionary Uranus on Sunday. Applying a small dose of flexibility to every situation will give you the chance to avoid conflicts that are not likely to lead to an easy resolution.

 
Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Assertive Mars’ entry into your sign on Monday initiates a period of hyperactivity that brings more excitement to your personal life. You are drawn to new people and experiences now more than ever. This adventurous spirit spices up the feisty and flirtatious sides of your personality, inspiring you to create fun wherever you go. However, your light-hearted approach might make it very difficult to stabilize a serious relationship. Being completely honest allows you to play without any pangs of guilt.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

If you’re itching for change or having a nagging sense of uncertainty, it could be due to Mars’ stealth-like move into your secretive 12th house on Monday. The warrior planet is traveling through restless Gemini, kicking up energy that’s difficult to manage. Facing issues head-on or finding a method to quiet your nerves is a way to regain the equilibrium you may be missing.

 
Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s entry into earthy Taurus on Saturday occurs in your 10th House of Public Responsibility. While this lunar alignment is good for showing off your leadership skills, it can also weigh you down with duties that cut into your social time. Avoid overloading yourself with professional obligations if you want the freedom to pursue love and pleasure this weekend.

 
Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might want to stretch your boundaries this weekend with the Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday. Travel, cultural activities and people from different backgrounds can provide a sense of stimulation that opens both your heart and mind. Your enthusiasm is high, but don’t make long-term plans with someone new just yet. Exploring life with a more adventurous attitude allows you to play without any strings attached.

 
Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A lunar transit through your partnership houses starting on Thursday should keep your social life on the front burner this week. But whatever happens, be ready for a sudden change on Sunday when surprise-generating Uranus clashes with the illuminating Sun. Encountering rebellious feelings or an unexpected shift of circumstances requires lots of flexibility on your part to stay afloat.

 
Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Expect close relationships to change direction this week as your ruling planet Mars moves into your 8th House of Deep Sharing. You’ll need to adapt quickly and communicate more openly to stay on track where you are, or to make a meaningful new connection. If you can remain sweet and honest in the midst of a difficult conversation, greater intimacy will be your sweet reward.

 
Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Aggressive Mars entering your 7th House of Partners on Monday should raise the level of romantic activity in your personal life. You might attract a flirtatious individual who is fun to be around but difficult to read. It’s also possible that you will be the one who sends mixed messages. Either way, it’s essential to discern seriousness from silliness before you invest your heart.

 
Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s dance into your 5th House of Romance on Saturday afternoon can make this a sensually pleasing weekend. There is a risk, though, of promising or expecting too much when the positive vibrations flow. Sunday could bring a sudden shift of mood or change of plans, requiring you to alter your position instead of holding your ground. Stay light on your feet to meet others halfway.

 
Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Mars, the planet of action, activates your 5th House of Play on Monday, initiating a period of greater personal expression. You’re ready to take the lead to bring more love and fun into your life, but you might not be clear on where you want it to go. Keep things light, lively and spontaneous instead of making overly elaborate plans. Your unique brand of creativity is your secret weapon now.

 

Pisces Horoscope

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Sun’s sweet alignment with your generous ruling planet Jupiter can make for a cozy Saturday. You don’t need to go far from home or do anything special to open your heart to the art of giving and receiving. Sunday, though, is a different story as reckless Uranus tends to turn moods and expectations upside down, requiring quick adjustments on everyone’s part. A healthy sense of humor will come in handy to break up any tension that might arise.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 20

The humanitarian Aquarius Moon depersonalizes our feelings without necessarily making us less emotional. We are more moved to express ourselves about social wrongs and political injustices now, rather than our individual plights. We’re reminded that we can’t rationalize all our desires when the Moon shifts into watery Pisces at 4:45 pm EDT. However, we’re drawn in several directions as energetic Mars enters multifaceted Gemini later this evening.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A bit of confidence is a good thing, but you could take it too far today. It’s unwise to believe that you can do everything you want, so choose your battles very carefullyand then give it your best shot. Unfortunately, if you attempt to take on more than you can handle now, you’ll quickly wish that your life was moving at a slower pace.

 
Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s a good idea to slow down and concentrate because the interpersonal dynamics at work may be complicated today. Fortunately, you have an intuitive sense that cuts through the complexities of office politics and gets to the core of the issue. Others will look to you for guidance now because they think you know what’s going on. Although it’s helpful to share your perspective, don’t forget that there are many different ways to reach the same destination.

 
Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Current circumstances pull you one way today while your fantasies lure you in a totally different direction. On other days your confusion could be problematic, but now it may be the key to balancing your commitments with your dreams. Don’t try to limit your thinking with logic because your imagination can offer workable answers that are not restrained by the constraints of the real world.

 
Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Hanging out with your friends has been an antidote recently to an uncomfortable relationship situation. Unfortunately, you may feel more vulnerable now and your fear of being hurt motivates you to withdraw into the safety of your own private world. Thankfully, social settings can provide the opportunity for low-key casual interactions that won’t stir up too much resistance. Enjoy others without becoming enmeshed in any complicated emotional melodramas.

 
Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Companions may tempt you to pin your hopes and dreams on someone else now. Although a solid partnership won’t likely pose any special difficulties, you are more prone to project your fantasies onto others. Attaching your goals onto those closest to you can naturally alter interpersonal dynamics. Let your mind meander for a while, but don’t confuse an enticing daydream with a viable relationship path.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are growing more enthusiastic about expanding your range of activity now. You’re ready to make your move by heading out on an adventure and journeying to new destinations. Perhaps you might even think about a completely different area of study that opens your mind and widens your intellectual horizons. However, make sure to connect your latest venture with the practical side of life, even if your interests are conceptual, like history, literature or philosophy. Keep your feet on the ground or you’ll quickly lose interest down the road.

 
Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon in your 5th House of Self-Expression brings out your artistic inclinations now, and you would be wise to put your creativity into motion. Fortunately, you can tap into a deep mother lode of symbolism by allowing yourself to sink into your own silence. But you still need to bring your experiences out into the open and turn them into something that resonates with others.

 
Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could fall into the trap of needing to be right if someone tries to overpower your reasoning with a false sense of authority. Unfortunately, there is little room for give and take unless both parties are open to what the other is saying. Your current rigidity might motivate your opponent to present an argument so well considered that you are willing to change your mind. Holding on to your position can be a wise move up to a point. Knowing when to jump ship is even smarter.

 
Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Just because you have a strong opinion about how to do something at work, your certainty doesn’t make your idea the best way. Being open to learning from others requires you to let go of your attachment to being right. Forget about proving your superiority; instead, acknowledge that everyone has something special to offer. Respectfully asking your co-workers to share their knowledge and expertise is a sign of your own intelligence.

 
Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Seeking pleasure while at work can also improve your self-esteem today. When you feel better about yourself, you will likely grow more productive in everything that you do. Your new efficiency begins with giving yourself permission to have fun. Ironically, an act of apparent selfishness can replenish your energy and enable you to offer more to others in return.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The paradox of the day stems from the relationship between simplicity and complexity. Oddly enough, eliminating extraneous noise so you can concentrate on fewer tasks is quite complicated. Interpersonal politics might grow entangled and there’s a variety of possible scenarios to be considered now. Nevertheless, you’ll be happier once you cut back unnecessary activities. Luckily, your job should get easier once you make the commitment to follow through with whatever you start.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your outlandish fantasies may take you to distant galaxies or parallel universes while the Moon is traveling through your 12th House of Imagination. However, the real focus now is on what you do and not on what you think. Take the most direct course of action possible, for it will lead you to your desired destination. Make a map and then follow it with unwavering intention.
