Get ready for a spark of genius! The quirky Aquarius New Moon on February 10 ignites unusual ideas and increases the urge for freedom.

This brilliant energy will affect some people more than others.

Mental Mercury’s challenging square with expansive Jupiter encourages a wide range of thinking, but it can also raise optimism beyond reason. A square between Venus and Saturn suggests that limited resources or relationship issues need to be addressed before we can tap into the full potential of this innovative and liberating lunation.

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Friends and organizations can take you in a different direction with this Aquarius New Moon in your team-oriented 11th House of Groups. You may find inspiration while working for a cause or participating in a group project. Although you will probably be excited by a new idea, it’s best not to push it on others now. Do some research and let it simmer until you have studied it thoroughly before sharing it with the world.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This cutting edge Aquarius New Moon lands in your 10th House of Career and Public Responsibility, where it can put additional obligations on your plate. The challenge is to adjust to changing conditions, rules or expectations that can take you out of your comfort zone. But if you’re ready to jump into the future, you can help to lead to way to breakthroughs in your professional life.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You may want to hit the road with this New Moon in your 9th House of Travel and Higher Mind. Broadening your experiences through school, intellectual pursuits and connections with faraway places helps to satisfy your curious nature. Your ruling planet Mercury’s conjunction with impatient Mars can provoke impulsive action or careless words, so think twice before leaping or speaking.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Relationship boundaries might be stretched with the unconventional Aquarius New Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Attracting unusual people can be exciting if you’re willing to learn some different ways to connect. A flexible and open-minded attitude allows you to explore unfamiliar experiences that invite intimacy and can even help establish new business partnerships.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

The quirky Aquarius New Moon in your 7th House of Others attracts unconventional people. Relationships require more breathing space as you and your partner need more freedom. Keeping an open mind allows you to benefit from unique individuals who challenge your usual ways of thinking. Being friendly and open-minded prevents those differences from driving you apart.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

A fresh approach to work should make your daily routine more interesting now. The groundbreaking Aquarius New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, triggering changes on the job. Adjusting to surprises is a must because old systems may no longer be effective. It’s healthier to adapt and prepare for the future than to stubbornly stick to outmoded ways of doing business.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Fun and games are on the agenda with this lively lunation in your 5th House of Romance and Self-Expression. The inventive Aquarius New Moon puts a sparkle in your eye and enhances your creative capacities. This is a time to be a performer, even if you’re shy and uncertain. The support of a friend will help you come across with more confidence in your personal and professional lives.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

It’s never too late to change the past’s influence on you. The experimental Aquarius New Moon occurs in your 4th House of Family and Personal History, giving you a fresh perspective that can free you from old ideas and influences. This is a time to plant seeds for a more inspiring future, perhaps encouraging you to consider relocation or making a major change in your professional life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Bright ideas are popping with this brainy Aquarius New Moon in your 3rd House of Information. Lively conversations can open your mind to radically different concepts that spur you to learn even more. Enthusiasm can add passion to your words, but try to keep your messages relatively simple. It’s easy to say too much and complicate matters when you don’t adjust your speech to your audience.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

The impulse to experiment triggered by this Aquarius New Moon lands in your 2nd House of Self-Worth, where fresh ideas about earning money can arise. It’s important to see yourself in a new light to cash in on this potential opportunity. You have undeveloped abilities that require an investment of time and energy, but even more importantly, faith in your ability to reinvent yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

This unconventional New Moon in your sign lights up your personality. Taking chances with your appearance and approach is worthwhile, even if you’re uncertain how others are going to react. You can’t please everyone, but it’s essential that you please yourself. If you’re having fun, that’s the best way to make you more attractive in personal relationships and in professional matters.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

A change of direction in your spiritual path is possible with this New Moon in your 12th House of Divinity. It’s a time to renew faith in your current beliefs with a fresh perspective or to recognize how they limit you. Exploring different sources of inspiration, both religiously and creatively, renews your sense of purpose. Freeing yourself from sacrificial roles is also appropriate.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, February 8th

Our words seem intense today, yet we may actually be a bit detached from our emotions. It’s easy to get all worked up and say things that provoke petty conflicts. Thankfully, the Moon’s shift into logical Aquarius at 2:16 pm EST helps us maintain a healthy perspective on our current circumstances. A cool, analytical approach tempers the combative conjunction between messenger Mercury and aggressive Mars, which can heat up our interactions.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s difficult to sit quietly in the back of the room because irrepressible Mars, your key planet, aligns with Mercury the Communicator. You know what you want to say and you think you can inspire others into action. Unfortunately, your message might be confusing unless you have all your facts in order. Avoid overreacting by counting to five before opening your mouth. But don’t worry; you will get the chance to share what’s needed when the time is right.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be the one in the group who stands up and speaks your mind today. Fortunately, you’re able to draw on poetic images and creative visions that are normally beyond your reach. However, you may not feel comfortable with your forceful words, for they can offend your delicate sensibilities even as you say them. Nevertheless, don’t talk yourself out of sharing what’s on your mind. Your friends and associates will appreciate your honesty and your attempts to think outside of the box.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling upset at the way things have gone down at work, but there isn’t much you can do about it today, except talk about it. Expressing your concern with compassion wins you the support you seek as your key planet Mercury joins energetic Mars in your 10th House of Status. Use any means necessary to get your message out there, even if it means shouting it from the rooftop. You could be surprised with the positive response you receive if you are clear and direct in your delivery.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are inspired to fight for what you want today, and chances are that you may actually get it. If you ever considered writing a letter about a familiar gripe or going to your boss about a lingering issue, this is the day you’ve been waiting for. However, you could inadvertently offend someone with your uncharacteristically forceful approach. It’s easier to restrain your anger by softening your words than it is to deal with the mess you can make by being carried away with your emotions.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel lighter on your feet today because there’s less responsibility weighing on your shoulders. Nevertheless, you’re not in the mood to play games, and someone who gets in your way might be surprised with the speed and fury of your response. However, defending yourself by going on the offense isn’t as effective now as revealing your true feelings. This time words speak louder than actions.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Sparks may fly if someone oversteps your boundaries today. It really doesn’t matter who you are with now; you might feel as if others are trying to get your goat. You can respond to these situations with a display of anger if you feel the need to protect yourself against the apparent attack. However, the best strategy is to chill out and not take yourself so seriously. Allow a day or two for your perspective to evolve and then readdress the issue.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although it’s always a good idea to stick with the facts, how you deliver the message is just as important today as what you say. When you put the data you’ve been working on into the report or email, make certain you don’t overstate your position. Even if you are giving a verbal presentation, you can get hotter and more fired up than intended. Naturally, you’re not looking to make any enemies, so keep reminding yourself to tone down your emotions. A subtle touch accomplishes more than a heavy hand.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have the sweet power of persuasion at the tip of your tongue now. Messenger Mercury aligns with your key planet Mars, adding the strength of conviction to your words. Just don’t come on too strong or you could defeat your own purpose before you even have a chance. However, acknowledging your emotional intensity enables you to communicate your vision in a gentler and more compassionate manner.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may feel as if something isn’t quite right, but you can’t put your finger on the source of the problem. You might be afraid that you won’t get your needs met, even if satisfaction is within reach. Some event in the past comes back to haunt you today and you could become discouraged before you even ask for what you want. Remember that this is not history repeating itself. Push through your fears by staying in the here and now.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Quicksilver Mercury catches up with warrior Mars in your 3rd House of Communication today, making it difficult for you to hold your punches. If you have experienced an injustice or are angry with someone, you might be more aggressive than you intend. Pay attention to the tone of your words now because you will be more persuasive with a firm but gentle approach to drive home your point.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be more emotional than you prefer when the evocative Moon enters your sign today. Even if you try to avoid complicated feelings, you might be overwhelmed by your reactions now. Don’t resist your changing moods just because they make you uncomfortable; relax and take a ride on the water-slide of life. Things will lighten up after this weekend’s New Moon, enabling you to regain the clarity that comes from an objective perspective.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You aren’t often this pushy, but you are ready to say what needs to be said now as chatty Mercury lines up with feisty Mars in your sign. However, you may not clearly know what you want to communicate because your thoughts are muddled by secret desires. Tone down your rhetoric until you decide your next move. In the meantime, do what you can to untangle your wild imagination from your rational intellect.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 8t

Even though the Moon is void in down-to-earth, pragmatic Capricorn, your overall productivity can increase in the early going since the Sun is trine Ceres (1:57AM PST).  Making it to the top of the astro-headlines today is a potent Mercury-Mars union at 6 degrees of Pisces (9:57AM PST). During the first week of February, Mars and Mercury have both entered this poetic, compassionate and yet often turbulent twelfth sign of the zodiac. Along the way, these two planets have orchestrated primarily discordant Mars-Neptune and Mercury-Neptune conjunctions. Now Mercury and Mars merge their highly mental (Mercury) and emotional-physical (Mars) vibrations. Keep your distance from arm-twisting maneuvers and bullying tactics. Think before you act.  Once the Moon is safely in Aquarian territory (11:18AM PST), you can utilize the Mercury-Mars link-up to enhance your involvement with team sports or exercise routines. Aquarius Moon always brings with it an urge toward partaking in community service, group projects, neighborhood associations, charity drives and global causes close to your heart.  Let the good times roll tonight as the Moon trines Jupiter in air signs (10:00PM PST) while the Moon approaches its monthly union with Venus in Aquarius (forming exactly at 2:26AM PST on Saturday).

We continue to explore the possibilities today, extending the dreamy magic of recent Neptune transits into the future. Trickster Mercury enters watery Pisces to join Mars and Neptune, heightening our intuition and blurring our analytical thinking. Meanwhile, the inspirational Sagittarius Moon further fuels the fire of fantasy. Nevertheless, we can handle our day-to-day responsibilities if we remember to keep one foot planted on the ground.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Patiently waiting for a better time to take action isn’t your normal style, but you might consider a more passive stance now as the energy shifts. However, this doesn’t mean doing nothing. Instead, retreat just enough to take care of your own needs before heading out to change the world. Even if you have big plans, you don’t have to share more than is absolutely required until you are ready.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although your antennae extend into the social sphere today you might not be ready to make any definite plans yet. You just know that you want to spend more time with friends and your community now that interactive Mercury is gallivanting through your 11th House of Networking. You may not have sufficient information to plan your day in detail. Playing it by ear isn’t as scary as you might think, so don’t make any commitments until you have more clarity.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be unwittingly building your castle on shifting sands now. Even if you are creating a strong foundation that can withstand change, it’s still critical to know that you will be steadily supported in your work. Focus your attention on re-evaluating your motivations and beliefs to make certain they are in tune with your current actions. Having faith in yourself makes it easier for others to believe in you, too.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might think that you have the ability now to absorb data directly from your environment as if you were lying on a beach and soaking in the sunshine. Overt action is not needed today; instead, use your intuition. Have confidence that your instincts are leading you in the right direction. If you’re experiencing doubt, trust that feeling, too; it may be wise to wait until you are more certain about what you want to do next.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Unfamiliar emotional territory can be intriguing today, yet you might be too busy to explore something that distracts you from a project. Ironically, surrendering to your imagination is an important learning experience, even if it doesn’t help your productivity. Don’t worry if you’re lured off track for a while. Instead of trying to justify your behavior, enjoy your adventure into the land of fantasy while it lasts.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are entering a phase now where relationships bring challenges because others may seem confused or unwilling to make a commitment. Your need for clarification is emphasized as your key planet Mercury moves into your 7th House of Partners. Keep in mind that your power isn’t diminished just because you are missing information. Work with what you know, rather than what you don’t.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your presence alone may be healing to others today, but, ironically, you might not know what you can do to help yourself. Your lack of certainty could raise issues of self-doubt, making it difficult to know where to start. However, you don’t need to have a specific goal in mind to take the next step in a relationship now. Narrow your focus and just respond with your heart to the current circumstances. The larger picture will develop in time.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Transforming your vision into a real journey can be the most important part of your life in the weeks ahead. If you are already thinking about your future, it’s probably time to move your planning to the next phase. However, it’s not time to take direct action yet. You are in the game for the long haul, so it’s more productive to refine your strategy than to run off too quickly in the wrong direction.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be uncomfortable with energetic shifts that pull you into a more contemplative phase as mental Mercury slips into sensitive Pisces. Disjointed feelings can alienate you from your reality. Further complications could arise from mundane issues that you would rather avoid. Thankfully, taking care of logistics first frees you up to spend more time on your spiritual pursuits and creative fantasies

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The next several weeks might bring unexpected complications as the pace of life speeds up. Normally, you’re a champ at long-term planning, but now your focus shifts to what’s happening day to day. The current cosmic conditions suggest that you are wise to lighten your schedule for a while. Even if you’re overly ambitious, there will be time to climb the ladder to success later on. Adopting a more flexible attitude allows you to successfully manage the surprises heading your way.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s time to soothe your nervous system by slowing down and gaining a deeper understanding of your own self-worth. Sometimes you get so caught up in the present moment that you forget how much intelligence you can bring to a difficult situation. Your thinking may be fuzzy now and trying to concentrate might only make you more anxious. Don’t worry; your clarity will return. In the meantime, let your dreams be your guide.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s a very emotional time with logical Mercury moving into your sign for an extended stay through mid-April. Your dreams are growing even more vivid than usual, but it could be difficult to apply what you experience in your imagination to real life. Nevertheless, your thoughts are setting the tone for what will happen throughout the year, so don’t hold back. Exploring your visions and fantasies now can reveal alternative paths to success.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 25th

We may want to sweep our feelings under the rug today with the Moon in shy Cancer. But a buoyant Sun-Jupiter trine acts as a magnifying lens that makes circumstances appear better than they really are. An indulgent Venus-Jupiter alignment sweetens sensory experiences and softens our fears. But our pleasure-seeking motives don’t kick in until later; we must first overcome the austere judgments of a Mercury-Saturn square that blocks our creativity.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You already made your choice to ride the incoming waves by maintaining a positive attitude, yet you might have underestimated the power of the tides now. Don’t be afraid to retreat and re-evaluate your plans before pushing against the currents. A steadier pace improves your chances of reaching your destination. Regardless of the actions of others, you have the capability to transform your love into something greater than it already is.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your common sense reminds you to think before you speak, because it’s better to get your message right the first time rather than having to start all over. Although you’re not greedy, you might have trouble acknowledging your limits today. More is not necessarily better; if you have set a goal, be prepared to stop when you reach it.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although your key planet Mercury is impeded by austere Saturn today, communication will improve later in the day. Your good idea is close to paying off if you remain persistent in your efforts. However, too much stress at work can make you less effective, so be flexible and coast for a while if you run into trouble. Resist the temptation to dig in and make a stand. Adaptability is your not-so-secret weapon, so don’t be afraid to use it.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional reactions are strong today, yet you won’t gain any advantage by giving up at the first sign of conflict. Neither do you need to battle against an immoveable stone wall. Your most sensible strategy is based upon consistent behavior without aggression. It may even be helpful to consciously let go of control so you can float with the flow. Calm your nerves by surrounding yourself with nature, soothing music or just good old-fashioned silence.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This is a significant day for relationships and you may end up quite pleased with the outcome. However, you might need to demonstrate a bit of self-restraint or someone else could rain on your parade. The dynamics of the current situation have long-lasting ramifications; even if you feel as if you’re being bent out of shape, express the love that is already in your heart. A simple act of kindness can shift the energy and make everything brighter.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A flood of brilliant ideas opens many possibilities at work today, yet you may grow frustrated because you cannot turn this magic moment into something more. If you meet resistance now, pushing harder won’t bring success. Instead, ride the intellectual currents and wait for the energy to settle down before finalizing your career plans. Exploring your options enables you to make the most of the amazing opportunities knocking at your door.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have a lot of work you hope to accomplish today and you really don’t want to modify your schedule. Unfortunately, too much rigidity only stirs up more conflict. You stand to gain the most by meeting others halfway and being as spontaneous as possible. Paradoxically, compromising may be the easiest way for you to get what you want now. Just make sure you don’t go to the opposite extreme and become so enthusiastic about every idea that nothing gets done at all.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Some of your current conflict stems from how you reacted to recent events. If you pursued an opportunity without overplaying your hand, you won’t likely run into any problems at all. But if you made a poor decision, today’s consequences might be a bit tougher to accept. Nevertheless, letting go of your old expectations clears the energy and frees you to achieve your goal.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may be worried that your best-kept secret isn’t safe now, you still could enjoy yourself while managing the situation. Today’s high level of action is what you wanted, so don’t waste your energy wishing that everything was less hectic. The Sun’s sweet trine to auspicious Jupiter indicates that there’s really a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end. However, you must meet your current responsibilities before you can magically transform a tricky moment into an awesome day.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you have been handling the details of a project and living up to your end of the bargain, then rewards may be just around the next corner. But the clouds might not clear until later in the day, just in time for a great weekend. Meanwhile, don’t fall behind in your work. Part of your current lesson is learning to live with more uncertainty. Find meaning in the present moment while also honoring your dreams for the future.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s hard to keep your thoughts in line today, but you’re up for the challenge. Although you might not have much fun at first, don’t waste energy berating yourself if something isn’t working out as desired. Your maps have brought you this far but you must set them aside now to explore the uncharted territories ahead. Transform any remaining fear into courage and trust your intuition. Be optimistic about the possibilities, even if everything continues to change.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If your fantasies have hijacked your attention, someone may shock you with their criticism today, refocusing your attention back on reality. Instead of rejecting the advice you receive from others, embrace it. Just make sure you establish healthy boundaries to maintain your emotional sanity. Nurturing your confidence, not your skepticism, will guide you toward fulfillment.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 24th

Reminiscing about the good old days often occurs instinctively during the monthly lunar transit in Cancer. This is because this sign signifies the past, family ties, and ancestral roots. Look through photo albums, the basement or attic for long-lost keepsakes and memorabilia. Healing forces are back on the march as the Moon forms a flowing trine with Chiron in water signs (9:32AM PST).  Don’t let your overall productivity decline as the Sun makes a frictional, 135-degree tie with Ceres (2:52PM PST) while Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Ceres (9:18PM PST). Cooking, baking and preparing your garden for the growing season are emphasized throughout the day.  Learn more about recent economic and market trends in order to increase the value of your investments as Mercury makes a trine to Vesta (6:25PM PST). Sisterhood and fellowship gatherings are promoted by the same alignment.  Let your spiritual willpower and mental concentration guide you as Mercury parallels Pluto (6:50PM PST). Revelations abound later on when the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with lightning-bringer Uranus (8:47PM PST). Start preparing for Vesta making a station and going direct in Gemini as well as a potent Full Moon — both happening on Saturday.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 14th

Romantic Venus’ conjunction with mysterious Pluto could reveal relationship secrets on Wednesday. Taking a closer look at this new information can uncover unmet desires and underused assets. These unexpected insights might motivate personal change and increase our capacity for emotional fulfillment. Making tough choices mid-week clears the air and opens the way to a socially satisfying weekend.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions could heat up from Wednesday through Friday when the evocative Moon occupies your fiery sign. Impatience can either put you in a delicate situation or impel you to make impulsive moves in your personal life. Risky behavior might shake up a partnership but that’s probably better than stifling your desire for change. Exercising a tiny bit of self-control, though, helps to maintain trust even when you are rocking the boat.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Persistence and inner strength can turn a relationship problem into an opportunity for greater intimacy this week. Your amorous ruling planet Venus plows into potent Pluto on Wednesday, shaking your world when secrets are exposed. But an unsettling truth may be just what you need to re-establish your priorities. Knowing exactly what you want and what you don’t want is your ticket to a more fulfilling weekend ahead.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you’ve been bogged down with practical matters lately, relief is on the way. This weekend your chatty ruling planet Mercury and the expressive Sun move into innovative Aquarius to brighten up your personal life. Traveling to new locations and connecting with people from other cultures provide mental stimulation that attracts your interest. Just don’t over-analyze every little thing and allow your busy brain to push your emotions out of the picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Unanticipated obligations can get in the way of personal matters on Wednesday. Quickly adapting to changing conditions is necessary to reduce stress. But connecting with easygoing friends puts your feet back on solid ground this weekend. Spending time with social organizations and reliable pals  plugs you into groups of pleasure-seeking people where you can relax without the weight of excessive responsibility or unrealistic expectations.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Less work and more play are on the schedule for this weekend. The Sun enters friendly Aquarius and your 7th House of Partners on Saturday to take relationships to another level. Connecting with a quirky person, showing an unusual aspect of your personality or experimenting with your current squeeze are ways to get your heart beating faster. Being playfully spontaneous instead of setting rigid rules makes the game much more interesting.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Passion comes early this week when alluring Venus joins intense Pluto in your 5th House of Romance on Wednesday. There’s no ambivalence about your feelings because you’re playing for keeps now. Anyone who is unwilling to love you without limits could be cut out of your heart. Even though it’s not usually easy to let someone go, eliminating an individual who can’t fulfill your dreams makes room for a person who can.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Memories from your relationship past could arouse powerful feelings this week when vulnerable Venus meets passionate Pluto in your 4th House of Roots. Desires grow more intense as you crave a deeper union or recognize how you’re being stifled by the one you’re in. It’s tempting to run from any uncomfortable revelations, yet shutting off your heart and mind leaves you out in the cold while bravely facing your needs makes you a more powerful magnet for love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The sensual Taurus Moon invites easygoing connections when she visits your 7th House of Partners on Friday night. Don’t complicate things with too many questions because simplicity is your key to opening a treasure chest of pleasure this weekend. Indulging the senses at slow speeds is especially appealing. Sweet smells, gentle sounds, tender touches and tasty foods supply physical satisfaction that makes any relationship a delight.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unexpected encounters could pop up around any corner this weekend when mischievous Mercury and the radiant Sun enter friendly Aquarius and your neighborly 3rd House. You might meet someone while running an errand or have a great time with your partner when you are taking care of some routine tasks. The enthusiastic side of your personality will definitely attract some positive attention and make it very easy to get a conversation going.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could make a critical relationship decision this week. The love planet Venus joins transformational Pluto in your sign on Wednesday. This is like drawing a line in the sand with a current partner if you’re dissatisfied with the situation. If you’re single, it can provide a depth of feeling and desire to motivate you to make some serious personal changes. If you’re hungry for affection and approval, you’re willing to do whatever it takes to gain it now.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is a great week to close a chapter in your personal life so that you are free to start a new one. Cleaning out your emotional closets on Wednesday could be a messy affair. But unloading an individual, attitude or expectation that’s not working will take a lot of baggage off your shoulders. Thought-provoking Mercury and the life-giving Sun fire into your sociable sign this weekend to promote self-confidence and initiate a fresh start in matters of the heart.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your involvement in a group or with a friend may reach a critical point this week. If you’re not getting what you want for your effort, you might consider reducing your commitment. Some peace and quiet will be especially appealing starting on Saturday when the Sun slinks into your reclusive 12th House. Less social visibility is recommended, so enjoying private time with one special person or hanging out alone might be just what the doctor ordered.
