Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for Wed., May 23rd

Aries

Let’s face it, you have already experienced more than your fair share of relationship challenges and pressures, not only over recent months but on and off over the last few years. But you really have turned a corner and where before there were roadblocks there is now nothing but support. Use the past to empower you, while the door is still open to second chances.

Taurus

With the second half of 2012 destined to become a lot more relationship focused, work now to ensure that the communication lines are open. It’s a growing sense of romantic confidence and a return of your romantic passions that is giving you the courage to speak out, letting others in.

Gemini

Venus, planet of love will remain in retrograde motion in your sign until later next month, due to turn direct just 3 days after Saturn turns direct in your romantic sector. Until then the door to the past and to second chances is open, while in every other aspect of your life the focus is on the future and all that it holds.

Cancer

The Moon is wrapping up his last visit to your communication sector before a very rare Venus eclipse here in just 2 weeks time, giving you an intuitive read on the romantic nostalgia in the air. With the past already coming alive this gives you a chance to get up close and personal with old ghosts, recognising where you need to let go.

Leo

While you have no planetary activity in your romantic sector you are not on your own, with the North Node creating a natural current that is drawing you towards the future and your full romantic potential. This makes it important to keep your romantic focus on the future and the road ahead, for that’s where the opportunities lie.

Virgo

It was just a week ago today that the last opposition played out between forces on the personal and relationship fronts, giving you a chance to get things out in the open. Since then things have eased back on the relationship front and your personal passions and confidence have bounced back, with a need to hold onto the lessons of the last few months.

Libra

It was 2 weeks ago to the day that Mercury, planet of communication left your relationship sector, wrapping up the most active and defining but also the most challenging relationship months of the year. Chances are you won’t be tested this way again for several years, making it important to hold onto the lessons learned and the communication lines this opened.

Scorpio

As Mercury, planet of communication spends his last full day in your relationship sector he knows it will be another 12 years before he’ll meet up with lucky Jupiter here again, giving you the confidence to put your heart on your sleeve and everything on the line. With luck on your side and the communication lines open, what have you got to lose?

Sagittarius

It was the Moon’s return to your relationship sector just hours behind the Sun that formed the unexpected solar eclipse 2 days ago, but as he wraps up his visit he not only knows he’ll return next month for a second New Moon, but that a lot will change between now and then. This makes it important to listen to your instincts, but also keep an open mind and heart.

Capricorn

While Mercury, planet of communication visits your romantic sector once a year, giving you a chance to give your heart a voice and put heart and mind on the same page, it’s been 12 years since he’s teamed up with lucky Jupiter and it will be another 12 years before he does again. This makes his last full day here even more important, with giving your heart a voice a must.

Aquarius

It was the Moon’s return to your romantic sector 2 days ago and alignment with the Sun that created the solar eclipse that both opened new doors and created a real tailwind. But this is also the Moon’s first visit to your romantic sector since Venus turned retrograde here, giving you an intuitive read on the old doors that opened just a week ago to the day.

Pisces

It was a week ago to the day that Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos faced his final battle and his final opposition, but already things have moved on considerably. Not due to leave your relationship sector until early July, Mars’ passions and fighting spirit can now go into bringing your relationships up to speed.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 22nd

Our optimism may turn a molehill into a mountain today as mischievous Mercury’s hook-up with bombastic Jupiter has us telling tall tales. Although the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction occurs in practical Taurus, three planets in carefree Gemini indicate our desire to fill the day with things to do and people to see. Thankfully, the Gemini Moon activates a trine between sweet Venus and realistic Saturn, reminding us that some things are worth the wait.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may already have taken on too many responsibilities, you’re so confident that you’re ready to put even more on your plate today. Unfortunately, you could spend so much energy just trying to fulfill your obligations that there isn’t much time left over to relax. Don’t wait for the end of the day to wish you had less to complete. Instead, judiciously cut back on your activities by setting healthy limits right from the start.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might think that your strategy is a sound one, but you could unexpectedly discover that you have oversimplified your plan. You feel a bit scattered today, even if you try to concentrate your efforts on what needs to be done. Although you know that pleasure eventually awaits you, finding the time to enjoy it remains tricky. Don’t get discouraged; satisfaction will be yours if you keep your eye on the prize.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Things can quickly get out of hand today with the Moon back in your changeable sign and your key planet Mercury contacting expansive Jupiter. You could easily underestimate what’s required to finish a specific task. Although you might feel overwhelmed for a while, you should be able to pull it all together by the end of the day. Don’t complain, even if you temporarily regret how much you promised. If you just stay focused and work steadily, you could have enough time left over to have some fun.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could lose your momentum by thinking of all the reasons you can’t do something that you really want to do. Reality is testing you to see if you can overcome the obstacles in your path. Fortunately, your inner strength gives you enough clarity of vision now so you can organize many disparate puzzle pieces into a comprehensive picture. Although your friends show up to support your efforts, it’s up to you to accept the assistance that’s offered.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your moods seem to be changing quickly now and it’s difficult to know how you’re going to feel next. One minute you seem to have superpowers and then just a few moments later you’re back to being a mere mortal. Even if you can leap tall thoughts in a single bound, you still need to follow through with sensible action. There’s nothing wrong with having your head in the clouds as long as you can keep your feet on the ground at the same time.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can accomplish a tremendous amount of work now and your productivity is likely to be positively acknowledged by others. However, you may be so enthralled with your big ideas that your excitement becomes your downfall. Unfortunately, you might not even realize if you’ve pushed too far. Don’t assume more responsibilities than you can realistically handle. Take preventative action today before you find yourself over-committed.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can be a case study for the power of positive thought. You’re on a productive high now and might even be able to imagine something right into existence. It’s too bad you can’t bottle this confidence for a rainy day. Unfortunately, the creative juices are fickle and you could get yourself into trouble if you assume that you can sustain such a steady pace. Give yourself a bit of leeway today to wander off track and don’t be afraid to daydream along the way.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You honestly might not think you have time to relax enough to have the fun that is right in front of your nose. You can say that you’re ready to party, but it’s challenging to avoid the responsibilities that you already accepted. Acknowledge the limitations of what you cannot do in the present moment. Then, you will be freer to explore the deeper meaning of life without the burden of having to find the right answer.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might get caught up in a minor power struggle today as you move through the changes that are being demanded of you. But the more you try to hold on to whatever you believe you had, the more difficult this conflict becomes. However, if your commitment to a larger cause is more important than achieving your personal goals, you should be able to gracefully navigate your way through the resistance.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might feel a bit uncomfortable today as you try to get past your self-imposed restrictions in order to take advantage of the exciting opportunities that are being presented to you. The challenges may come to you now in the form of social engagements. However, you could learn something new if you don’t retreat too quickly. Instead, push up against your own insecurities; it’s time to recognize that your fears don’t need to get in the way of the potential in your life.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone might come to you with such a good idea today that it’s hard to resist. You may be feeling so upbeat now that nearly every opportunity looks worthwhile. It doesn’t matter if you’re invited to participate in a business scheme or a private party; it probably sounds better than it actually is. Fortunately, there’s no reason to react negatively; just remain open to modifying your position as more and more of the truth is unveiled.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may mistakenly believe that you can see the whole picture now. Unfortunately, precision of thought doesn’t necessarily come along with the vision. Sure, you can visualize it all, but you could jump to a wrong conclusion or miss an important detail that’s integral to making the right choices. You will probably choose in favor of the new opportunity because it sounds too amazing to say no. Just remember not to over-commit or you might end up regretting your decision.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, May 21st

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, May 21st

 
 
It’s challenging to know what to do with all the new information we receive today. However, yesterday’s Solar Eclipse was a turning point, and the flighty Gemini Moon reminds us that we don’t have our feet back on the ground yet. But even if we perceive our world differently now, mental Mercury’s run-in with naysayer Saturn prevents us from flying with an untested idea. It will take time to integrate our clever thoughts into the real world.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Everything seems to be moving too quickly — even though you speedy Rams are the Champions of Fast. You’re also the Champions of First, but being in front of everyone else isn’t what’s most important now. Slow down your words so your heart can catch up to your thoughts, or otherwise you’ll be the cleverest lonely person around. Even if you think too much today, saying less helps to maintain the peace.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although your thinking picks up a bit of speed from the agile Gemini Moon, the urgency of your message is diminished by communicator Mercury’s presence in steady Taurus. It’s easier now to let go of those things that quietly bother you because you recognize that you won’t find resolution today. Nevertheless, your natural persistence enables you to restore balance between your current need for immediate gratification and your willingness to wait until the timing is right.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your world is changing faster than you realize. Even if you have a well thought-out plan, rational Mercury’s anxious quincunx with sobering Saturn just might send you back to the drawing board to tighten your logic. Meanwhile, the Moon dances along in your sign, but it’s not a simple tune that’s playing, especially if you are trying to hold on to a feeling from the past. Nevertheless, share what’s in your heart before it’s too late.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Fear is creeping into your subconscious mind today and turning your imagination two shades darker. Just remember that dark doesn’t necessarily imply evil; it simply means an absence of light. What you think and feel can seem more real now than reality itself. Enjoy the magic of the Hall of Mirrors without needing to know what’s going to happen next. Fortunately, your active imagination holds the keys to your future.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There’s an important shift brewing in your social world now that the Sun, Moon and Venus are all occupying your 11th House of Friends. Something out of the ordinary may occur, ultimately making you feel as if your friends or co-workers aren’t even on your side. However, these feelings could be just an illusion playing a trick on you. Let things develop naturally and don’t try to read too much into the current situation.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

If everything at work appears to be too good to be true today, then something is about to change. However, if progress has been bumpy, it may be smart to examine what changes you could initiate. But don’t get too impatient or your frustration can put a negative spin on your professional relationships. It is to your advantage to allow the tensions to resolve gradually, without applying too much pressure to have things go your way.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You tend to be rather philosophical about your day, even if it doesn’t turn out as you envisioned it. Instead of getting all stressed out over a necessary change of plans, you might just quietly adapt as required. Nevertheless, there’s still a price to be paid for missing your mark. Instead of wasting energy worrying about a setback, process your disappointment quickly so you can set new goals and try again.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The current cluster of planets in your 8th House of Shared Resources might affect your material possessions and income status. However, this emphasis is just as often about non-material things that others bring into your life, including love and sexuality. You may secretly wish that you could withdraw for a bit to re-evaluate the complexity of a relationship. Instead, stay connected to those around you and save the contemplation for another day.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

No matter how much you apply your analytical thinking today, you might not be able to figure out what’s going on in the mind of your partner. Whatever is usually transparent has now gone dark, making it impossible to accurately read the situation. Stop trying so hard to solve a temporarily unsolvable mystery. Instead, focus on the beauty in those you love and support them the best way you can.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Concentrating on the details of your work is extremely helpful today. If you do your job right, your efforts will bring you the rewards and recognition that you seek. In the meantime, there are probably more tasks to do than you expected. Even if you would rather celebrate your impending success now, don’t go popping any corks until you are absolutely positive that your tasks are truly done.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your romantic world may be in for a change, yet you cannot see what’s around the next corner. However, prior to your pursuit of happiness, you first need to finish the business that’s still on your plate. Don’t try to rush the process since it will happen on its own timetable. Instead, focus on the possibilities of your creativity, without worrying about concrete production for now.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s difficult to move forward today, even if you’re enthusiastic about your next project. You might prefer hiding out in your office or at home, sharing your plans online or over the phone, as the Sun and the Moon visit your 4th House of Emotional Security. Nevertheless, it’s wise now to push beyond your comfort zone. Nothing ventured; nothing gained.

Your Business & Career Horoscopes for the Week of May 21

Your Business & Career Horoscopes for the Week of May 21

Aries

It’s where you’ve been held back or penned in on the work front that you’re finally able to put your foot down and go for it this week, spurred on by a new sense of urgency on the income front. It was only last week that Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition faced his last hurdle and not due to leave your work sector until the 4th July what has been a marathon is switching back to a sprint again. As you come into the home straight of a journey that began last November, you’re no longer green behind the ears and you have a wealth of experience and professional hindsight to draw on. This allows you to pick your battles wisely at what is a time for putting your head down and your tail up, putting everything you have into everything you do.

Taurus

There is a new level of confidence on the work front this week and it’s coming from the fact that things have shifted to support your hard work and effort and all the drudge work put in, in the past. Saturn, the only planet in either of your professional houses, has been in retrograde motion in your work sector since early February and will remain in retrograde motion until later next month, so nothing has changed as far as he’s concerned. It’s still all about putting your head down and your tail up, putting in the hard work behind the scenes that you need to but more that the conditions have changed. Saturn is no longer under pressure, so the work pressure should have eased right back, but it’s support and confidence on the income front that has changed all the filters.

Gemini

There is a chance to pull back this week. It was just last week that the last in a series of Mars oppositions, that has put direct pressure on your career sector, finally ran its course. Where this created professional pressure and work/life balance pressures specifically, you’ve had a chance to learn a lot and take heed of any wake up calls. But with the pressure gone and both Neptune and Chiron, the planets staying on to keep your professional game on a roll slowing down, ahead of their retrograde turn early next month, there is no longer any urgency. Instead there is a chance to pull back this week and work with the cards already on the table. This is now all about the big picture and it’s that big picture that you have a chance to refer back to now, with a chance to get your bearings.

Cancer

Pay attention to any work pressure early in the week, finding a balance between avoiding sweating the small stuff and not sticking your head in the sand. It’s on Monday, 2 weeks to the day before a lunar eclipse in your work sector is likely to see fate reveal the final wildcard up its sleeve, that the Moon and Sun will align to push some buttons. This comes at the start of the month long wind down to your current solar year, when there is a need to start conserving energy and to pace yourself. This may present as a case of Mondayitis, in which case you need to humour yourself and not push through this, telling yourself to buck up. There is a serious need to slow down and to look at where any expectations are coming from. A slower approach may see you accomplish more in the long run.

Leo

Moving into the new week with the Sun, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter in your career sector would suggest that this is going to be a professionally charged week and while it will remain an important professional week, things ease back dramatically while becoming more urgent at the same time. With the Sun and Moon leaving your career sector on Monday, Mercury on Thursday and none meeting up with lucky Jupiter again here for another 12 years, all your cards are now on the table. It’s the insight, professional instincts and intellectual savvy that the Sun, Moon and Mercury leave you with that allow you to move into what is the end game ready to play your A game. With Jupiter leaving on the 12th June it’s time to bring things home.

Virgo

Venus’ retrograde turn in your career sector last week and her first full week in retrograde motion suggests this should be a fairly quiet professional week, with the focus on the past and on working behind the scenes. While this will play a part in this week’s dynamics this is anything but a behind the scenes week, with your professional game being thrust into the limelight in the early hours of the week. It’s on Monday that the Sun and Moon not only return to your career sector within hours of each other, but align to form a solar eclipse on Monday. This opens the door to new beginnings and opportunities, just as Venus is opening the door to the past and second chances. Mercury’s return to your career sector gives you the intellectual savvy to manage a changing professional landscape.

Libra

You have a chance to rest on your laurels this week. It was only last Thursday that work pressure began to ease off, yet unlike the false starts of the past, this time you really have crossed your final hurdle. Pay attention as your professional instincts kick in, from Thursday or Friday onwards, for what you’ll be picking up on is the Moon’s return to your career sector, for what is his last visit before new doors open in less than 2 weeks time. Once new doors open on the career front, from the 7th June onwards, they’ll remain open for the next 3 months, bringing you to the most important professional months of the year, especially when it comes to looking at where to from here. This makes it important to step back this week, catching your breath before the next wave.

Scorpio

Things have eased back considerably on the work front, to a point where you’re now able to focus more on pacing yourself, keeping what has been put in motion in play. Mercury only left your work sector on the 9th May, so this is still early days and with Uranus staying on to keep things on track, it’s less about the push to bring things up to speed and more about being in the driver’s seat, keeping things on the road. It’s the Moon’s return to your career sector on Saturday, a month to the day before new doors are due to open, that gives you a chance to both sharpen your professional instincts and look ahead. This gives you your first real glimpse of what will be the defining months of your professional year, with a chance to start looking ahead to new mountains and goals to conquer.

Sagittarius

Despite a professionally driven start to the week, expect things to ease back. It was only last week that Mars faced his final hurdle and not due to leave your career sector until the 4th July, his professional passions move into the overdrive this week, ready to make up for lost time. At the same time you begin the week with the Sun, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter in your work sector, completing one of the most formidable line ups you’ve gone into a new working week with all year. Yet while you still have several more weeks to bring things up to speed on the career front, on the work front this is the end game. The Sun and Moon leave your work sector on Monday and Mercury on Thursday and with Jupiter leaving 3 weeks later it’s time to wrap things up and tie up loose ends.

Capricorn

After Venus’ retrograde turn in your work sector last week her first full week in retrograde motion should see things pull right back especially as Saturn, the only other planet in either of your professional houses, is also in retrograde motion in your career sector. While this does open the door to second chances on the work and career fronts, especially as Venus and Saturn are working together, this is destined to be anything but a quiet and behind the scenes week. It all changes dramatically when within hours of each other first the Sun and then the Moon not only return to your work sector on Monday, but align to form a solar eclipse. This opens the door to new beginnings and a game changing month on the work front, while the doors to second chances are also open.

Aquarius

Apart from a Full Moon in your career sector earlier in the month you’ve had no help from the professional gods this year, with no planetary activity in either of your professional houses so far this year. That’s about to change with Mercury returning to your work sector on the 7th June, opening the door to an active 3 months on the work front that will overlap the start of a much bigger phase on the career front, that won’t ease off until 2015. In short, your time on the professional sidelines is about to end, with the Moon’s last visit to your work sector before things kick off giving you a chance to sharpen your instincts, get your bearings and pick up on some valuable clues. Keep your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, especially between Thursday and Saturday.

Pisces

Look behind any work/life balance pressures, for it’s coming from buttons being pushed as planetary influence kicks in on the home front, inadvertently putting pressure on the very points on the career front that are due to come to a head during a lunar eclipse in just a few weeks time. At the same time this gives you a chance to address any work/life balance issues it also provides some valuable wake up calls, putting you on alert to developments that are likely to come to a head during the lunar eclipse in your career sector on the 4th June. It’s the Moon’s return to your work sector on Saturday, a month to the day before Mercury returns and opens the door to the first planetary activity here for the year that gives you a chance to tap into any clues, hunches and insights ahead of time.

Your Love & Romance Horoscopes for the Week of May 21st

Your Love & Romance Horoscopes for the Week of May 21st

Aries

As Venus, planet of love spends her first full week in retrograde motion in your communication sector she does so with the full support of Saturn, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. These two planets will continue to work together until they both turn direct, within just 3 days of each other, later next month. Until then the doors are open to second chances on the communication and relationship fronts and especially where the two come together. Yet it’s the Sun and Moon’s return to your communication sector and the solar eclipse this creates on Monday, that also opens the door to new opportunities on the communication front. This will also support your relationships, with a sense that a corner has been turned with communication now everything.

Taurus

Mars, planet of passion’s opposition with Chiron, planet of healing last week was the last of several challenges over recent weeks and months, but with the final hurdle now behind you there is a new sense of confidence kicking in. Mars won’t leave your romantic sector until early July and with no more roadblocks, he’s about to take things into high gear, with the romantic passions that held you back in the past now let loose. The only thing that can hold you down now or stop you from fully experiencing the romantic breakthroughs now possible, is to be held back by the past. You can’t change the past but you can change how you look back on and label the past. Do so in a way that sets you free to embrace the romantic passions that are begging to be embraced.

Gemini

As Venus spends her first full week in retrograde motion in your sign it’s with the full support of Saturn, in retrograde motion in your romantic sector. This is Saturn’s last retrograde phase in your romantic sector for another 30 years and Venus will stay in retrograde motion until it’s over, ensuring that a trip down memory lane that may have been challenging is now a lot more enjoyable. Saturn is more focused on learning from and confronting the past while Venus is on the lookout for second chances as she takes a trip down love’s memory lane. Venus will stop this from becoming too serious and Saturn from becoming overly sentimental. Don’t be put off by any relationship pressure, for its providing some wake up calls ahead of a lunar eclipse on the 4th June.

Cancer

A sense of romantic and relationship nostalgia was already evident with Venus in a nostalgic part of your chart and Pluto in retrograde motion in your relationship sector however this deepens further this week. It was Venus’ retrograde turn last week and her first full week in retrograde motion that puts the only two planets influencing things on the personal front in retrograde motion, with the focus on the past. This also means that Venus has had to postpone her return to your sign, now not returning until August, giving you a chance instead to take some trips down love’s memory lane and exorcise some old ghosts. You can’t change the past, but with some huge romantic developments in the second half of the year, this gives you a chance to revisit the past in a way that sets you free.

Leo

Chances are you’ll move into the new week with a sense that the love gods are anything but on your side, with some real pressure. This is coming from the fact that both the Sun and Moon, during their alignment that forms a solar eclipse in a social and serendipitous part of your chart on Monday, will both put direct pressure on the North Node, over in your romantic sector. This comes 2 weeks to the day before a lunar eclipse in your romantic and creative sector on the 4th June, which is destined to be bringing anything building to a head or to a turning or tipping point, as well as bringing you to a romantic crossroads. Any pressure at the start of the week will be temporary, but it’s going to provide a valuable wakeup call when you can least afford to fall asleep at the wheel.

Virgo

After last week’s opposition between Mars, planet of passion in your sign and Chiron, planet of healing in your relationship sector, there is likely to be a tentative sense of reprieve in the air as you move into the new week. While any relationship pressure is likely to have scaled right back, chances are you still have your guard up, for after all this has waned in the past only to return. This time around the reprieve is as permanent as anything can be, in that if your relationships are never tested they’ll eventually stagnate. But in terms of the pressures faced over recent weeks and months this is over, with a chance now to move on. While the healing process will continue, with the roadblocks behind you there is a return of hope and optimism.

Libra

There is a growing sense of confidence on the relationship and romantic fronts and for different reasons. On the relationship front the main thrust to get your relationships up to speed is behind you and after the Moon visited your relationship sector last month, you’ve had a chance to tweak things. Now it’s more about keeping things on track, with a need to continuously reinvent the wheel. With your relationships no longer a major focus, but enough going on for you to keep things in motion, there is a lot more focus and attention on Venus, planet of love. With Venus spending her first full week in an adventurous part of your chart, she’s taking you on a guided tour down love’s memory lane, revealing what you might be missing out on while opening the door to second chances.

Scorpio

After forces on the romantic front faced their final challenge last week, things have eased back and as this is an ongoing journey the urgency shifts to your relationships this week. While you begin the week with the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter in your relationship sector, making this the most active area of your chart and therefore the most dominant aspect, you will end the week with Jupiter not only on his own, but getting ready to leave in just a few weeks time. The real shift comes on Monday when, within hours of each other, first the Sun and then the Moon leave your relationship sector, neither meeting up with lucky Jupiter again here for another 12 years. With Mercury leaving your relationship sector on Thursday there’s an urgent need to ensure the communication lines are open.

Sagittarius

Expect a dramatic turnaround on the relationship front, in what is destined to be a defining and game changing week on the relationship front. This is Venus, planet of love’s first full week in retrograde motion in your relationship sector and as the only planet here, this should make this a very nostalgic week, with the door open to second chances. That is still the case, but this is complimented by the fact that the Sun and Moon not only both return to your relationship sector on Monday but align to form a solar eclipse, which is a supercharged New Moon. Between this New Moon and a second next month everything will change. This opens the door to new beginnings while the door to the past is open, with Mercury’s return on Thursday opening the communication lines.

Capricorn

There is a new sense of urgency on the romantic front this week with the Sun and Moon leaving your romantic sector on Monday, Mercury on Thursday and none meeting up with lucky Jupiter again here for another 12 years. Even Jupiter, in your romantic sector since June 2011, is getting ready to leave on the 12th June, with a real sense that it’s time to wrap things up. As the Sun, Moon and Mercury leave they’ll each leave you with the insight needed to make the coming weeks count, especially when it comes to putting your romantic expectations on the path you want them to continue on. The Moon’s return to your relationship sector on Friday provides some valuable wake up calls, in his last visit before things start to move on the relationship front, in just a few weeks time.

Aquarius

The love gods are out in force this week, making this a one of the most romantically charged weeks of the year to date and the start of what is destined to be a game changing month. As you move into the new week Venus is spending her first full week in retrograde motion in your romantic sector, holding the door open to second chances. Yet it’s on Monday that within hours of each other, that the Sun and Moon not only return to your romantic sector but align to form a solar eclipse. This is a super charged New Moon with the element of fate woven in, opening the door to new beginnings and opportunities. With Mercury returning to your romantic sector on Thursday and Jupiter in just a few weeks time, the doors to both new opportunities and second chances are wide open.

Pisces

What a difference a week makes. Last week you were facing yet more relationship challenges yet this was also the final hurdle and with no more to cross and all your cards on the table, you should have a clear sense of what you’re fighting for and against. It’s Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos that now has a clear run, with no more obstacles in his path before leaving your relationship sector on the 4th July. It was a coming together of forces on the communication front over the weekend that helped to not only turn things around, but to get this rebuilding phase up to speed. Pay attention to romantic vibes that are going to come into play just in time for the weekend, as the Moon makes his last visit to your romantic sector before new doors open from early next month.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 18

Aries

The fact that the Moon, moving through your sign, is putting direct pressure on Saturn and your relationships, creating some relationship pressure and pushing some buttons, might actually work to your advantage. For with the doors now open to second chances, this creates the right push at the right time.

Taurus

While you’re not out of the woods yet, pressure on Mars and your romantic situation has now peaked and from this point on will begin to ease. As this was the final hurdle you had to face and there was never any avoiding this, nurture a growing sense of confidence that the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t an illusion.

Gemini

On the romantic front the focus is now exclusively on the past, with the door remaining open to second chances until later next month. Venus, planet of love will remain in retrograde motion in your sign for the next 72 days, giving you time to take a leisurely stroll down love’s memory lane and to explore the past at your own pace.

Cancer

There is always more than one version of reality and that’s especially so when it comes to your perception of the past. As you work to tie up loose ends on any work/life balance issues, look to the past for guidance, taking responsibility for acknowledging what your relationships and love life need from you.

Leo

While you have no planetary activity in your relationship sector, the planet that will kick things off for the year when he returns next month is Mercury, planet of communication. While you can’t make that happen any sooner you can get a jump on things by working now to ensure that the communication lines are open.

Virgo

There is likely to be a sense of relief in the air today, for while there may still be some relationship pressure or tension the worst is behind you. It was yesterday that pressure between Mars in your sign and Chiron in your relationship sector peaked, with a chance now to focus on the healing and the opportunity for a breakthrough this has created.

Libra

Don’t be surprised or alarmed if there is some relationship intensity or even pressure today, as the Moon works to push as many buttons before leaving. The more you can get things out in the open the better, with the Moon evoking emotional responses aimed at getting your attention and alerting you to where you need to pay attention.

Scorpio

Urgency and even intensity on the romantic front begins easing back from today, as you realise that there is no urgency and that you really can’t hurry love. On the relationship front things are very different with a new sense of urgency setting in, especially when it comes to taking responsibility, realising that you can’t get back what you don’t put in.

Sagittarius

In his final hours in your romantic sector the Moon is working to give you an intuitive read on your heart, that you’re able to hold onto after he’s gone. This is the Moon’s first visit to your romantic sector since the main planetary thrust for the year ended, leaving you with an intuitive sense of where to from here.

Capricorn

You’re in a transition period, between a romantically charged period that is about to run its course and a more professionally charged period that will eventually take over. Already these are starting to overlap, with a need to be really vigilant when it comes to finding the right work/life balance and the right balance between work and play.

Aquarius

In just 3 days time both the Sun and Moon will return to your romantic sector, aligning to form a solar eclipse that will open the door to some major new beginnings. Until then make the most of the fact that Venus, the only planet currently in your romantic sector, is in retrograde motion, with the door to the past and second chances now wide open.

Pisces

While there is still likely to be some relationship pressure and intensity, it has already peaked and you should be feeling it ease back, enough anyway to see what lies behind it. This was the last hurdle you needed to cross, with a chance today to get inside anything that’s pushing your buttons and use this as a chance for both healing and a breakthrough.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 16th

Aries

Today marks a turning point with Venus, planet of love turning retrograde in your communication sector, spending the next 73 days working to give your heart and unsaid words a voice. While other more practical forces will soon focus on opening the communication lines in general, Venus is more focused on your relationships.

Taurus

It was just over a month ago that Mars, planet of passion turned direct in your romantic sector, ending his retrograde phase but today Venus, planet of love turns retrograde. With the path to second chances already clearly marked, but with your romantic passions now directed to the future, this gives you the best of both worlds, with the door open to second chances and new beginnings.

Gemini

Today represents both a turning point on the romantic front, but also a reinforcement of something already in play. With Saturn in retrograde motion in your romantic sector since February you’re already on a trip down love’s memory lane but as Venus, planet of love turns retrograde in your sign the focus on the past intensifies.

Cancer

On the same day that Venus, planet of love turns retrograde in an already nostalgic part of your chart, you have the right amount of support and pressure on the communication front. While there may be some communication challenges, it’s on the relationship front that there is a chance for a breakthrough and for some healing.

Leo

Even though it may appear that nothing much is happening on the romantic front, what is building beneath the surface and behind the scenes is due to come to a head during a lunar eclipse in your romantic sector early next month. Until then choose to see love as a journey rather than a race to the finishing line.

Virgo

Just as you reach what should be a high pressure time on the relationship front, you’re likely to find that while the pressure is there that the anticipated reactions aren’t. For just as relationship pressure begins to peak support floods in from Pluto in your romantic sector, giving you the confidence to see this as the opportunity it is.

Libra

A week to the day since Mercury left your relationship sector, wrapping up an active 3 months on the relationship front, the Moon returns in what is a case of perfect timing. You’ve had a week to let things settle but it hasn’t been so long that you’ve forgotten what you’re striving for, with a chance today to tap back into what really matters.

Scorpio

While there may be some tension in the air today with Venus, planet of love turning retrograde in a passionate part of your chart, there is also an opportunity for a change of heart or for second chances. The love gods are battling for your attention, with romantic and relationship forces fighting to be heard, with a need to slow down and stay in the moment.

Sagittarius

The love gods are out in full today for just as Venus, planet of love turns retrograde in your relationship sector the Moon returns to your romantic sector, ensuring that you have an intuitive read on your heart as the tide turns. As Venus opens the door to second chances on the relationship front the spirit of romance is alive and well.

Capricorn

It was just a week ago today that Mercury, planet of communication returned to your romantic sector and for the first time since 2000 encountered Jupiter, planet of luck. You’re now in the end game in terms of turning romantic desires into reality or at least putting love on the right path, with a need to believe in love and in yourself.

Aquarius

Today represents a real turning point on the romantic front, one of many you’ll encounter over the coming weeks. It’s today that Venus, planet of love turns retrograde, beginning a 73 day trip down love’s memory lane that will open the door to second chances and a chance to make up for lost time.

Pisces

Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos finds himself in a curious situation today. Coming into his own in your relationship sector he’s coming under pressure, creating some relationship tension, but within that tension is a sense that this creates an opportunity for a breakthrough, with some real healing and resolution possible.

The Wicca Book of Days for May 15th – Mercury’s Birthday

The Wicca Book of Days for May 15th

Mercury’s Birthday

In ancient Rome, the Ides of May – May 15th – was regarded as the birthdayof Mercury and therefore as Mercury’s sacred day. It was on this date in 496 BC, that a temple was dedicated to Mercurius the divine Roman counterpart of the Greek Hermes, near the Circus Maximus and guild of merchants was established. Mercury was a patron of commerce and his birthday was especially observed by merchants, who dipped laurel branches into the God’s sacred spring and sprinkled their wares with the water, praying that they would reap handsome profits.

The Hare Moon

Wiccans dedicate the May Esbat to the “Hare Moon.” Long associated with the moon, in many cultures, the fleet-footed hare was believed by the Romans, to be a messenger-carrying creature of Mercury, and was also sacred to Venus and Cupid as a symbol of fertility and lust.

Your Money & Finance Horoscopes for the Week of May 14th

Aries

This is arguably one of the most important weeks of the year for income matters, the week where everything comes together. The week begins with the Sun and lucky Jupiter aligned in your income sector and ends with the Sun and Moon aligned here, bringing together a smart head for money, visionary insight and luck. This is the Sun’s last week in your income sector and Mercury’s first, last and only full week here. It’s the Moon’s return to your income sector on Friday that gives you the nose for money needed to bring things home. As the Moon’s last visit before even Jupiter himself leaves next month, this is a week for putting everything on the line and everything you have into getting your income options and opportunities up to speed, getting as many balls in the air as possible.

Taurus

You reach the first of many game changing milestones you’ll reach on the income front over the coming weeks and while it may feel that things are becoming stuck and bogged down and therefore that you might be on the right track, nothing could be further from the truth. Things have slowed down because Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction is turning retrograde in your income sector on Wednesday and needs to come to a standstill first, in order to do a U turn. It’s once Venus turns retrograde that support from Saturn, already in retrograde motion in your work sector locks into place. While this opens the door to second chances on the income and work fronts and will do until later next month, the door to new income opportunities are due to open early next week.

Gemini

You have a chance to work behind the scenes and to consolidate your financial position this week, after the Moon’s visit to your financial sector last week. So far this year the money gods have had their full attention on your financial situation as a whole, giving you a chance to take care of any housekeeping and are now giving you a chance to change anything that isn’t working. With new doors opening on the income front early next month and the Moon making one last visit before then, but not until next week, purposely move forward with your mind and your options open. By Friday you’ll be just 3 weeks away from the most lucrative earnings month of the year, creating a lot more urgency when it comes to taking care of any financial housekeeping first.

Cancer

The Moon only left your financial sector on Saturday, so you’re able to move into the new week with your financial instincts sharp, your finger on the pulse, your ear to the ground and a nose for money. This also gave you a chance to tap back into the financial desires and dreams that you moved into 2012 with, which you’re now able to view more objectively. The key to turning financial desires and dreams into reality is having the bar raised enough so that you have something to aim for, but not so far that pie in the sky thinking puts things out of reach, dooming you to failure. Look back at the hunches and anything your financial instincts and imagination alerted you to over the weekend, turning this into a new sense of resolve as you move into the new week.

Leo

You have become used to intense money weeks, with financial pressures and tensions ebbing and flowing and as the same is likely to happen this week, it’s no wonder there’s a sense of ‘here we go again’. Chances are you’re over this. Yet unlike the past this is your final hurdle and the last patch of financial pressure you’re going to face and it comes with a chance to use this as motivation. For as Mars comes under pressure one last time, just as he’s getting back up to speed on the income front, it’s with support from powerful forces on the career and work fronts and in a week where you’re finally hitting your professional stride. Move into the week trusting your financial instincts, finding a balance between refusing to sweat the small stuff and refusing to stick your head in the sand.

Virgo

The Moon returns to your financial sector on Wednesday, a week to the day since Mercury left, not only leaving you with a smart head for money, but 3 months of at times intense financial forces aimed at getting your financial year off the ground. This gives you a chance to tap back into the financial plans and resolve gained over recent months and to tie up any loose ends. Wednesday is the same day that Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction turns retrograde in your career sector, not only opening the door to second chances on the professional front, but linking with Saturn, who already has the door open to second chances on the income front. This is the week where the tide not only turns on the financial and income fronts, but you become more aware that it has.

Libra

Any week that begins with the Sun and Jupiter aligned in your financial sector has to be a good week for money matters, especially with the Sun spending his last week and Mercury his first, last and only full week. With luck on your side, the Sun’s visionary insight and Mercury’s smart head for money, you’re ready to bring things home. This is the first time that Mercury’s intellectual savvy has teamed up with lucky Jupiter vibes in 12. It’s over the weekend that everything is likely to come together, with the Moon returning to your financial sector on Friday, for the last time before the Sun and Mercury leave next week and Jupiter just a few weeks later. This is a week for taking your power back, trusting that luck is on your side and making some bold calls or plans.

Scorpio

As you move into the new week there is a need to keep an open mind, for what you see is not a fair representation of where things actually stand. With Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction in her final days in direct motion in your financial sector, before turning retrograde on Wednesday, things appear to be slowing down and this may evoke a fear that you’re becoming stuck. Things are slowing down but they’re not becoming stuck and while Venus’ retrograde turn and her 73 days in retrograde motion will open the door to second chances, this won’t be at the expense of forward momentum. It’s a solar eclipse next month that will open the door to some stunning new developments, but until then it’s about slowing down and from Wednesday retracing your steps.

Sagittarius

The Moon only left your income sector late last week and having had a chance to mull over the hunches and insights and to cement the nose for money this left you with you’re able to move into your new week with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. While Pluto, the only planet active in either of your money houses is in retrograde motion in your income sector, he’s destined to be an important player this week, mainly through association. This is a big week on the professional front, with things coming together on the work front just as Mars is evoking a new kind of rebellion on the career front. New developments on the professional front and where you’re able to finally push through old barriers, clear the way for second chances or to make up for lost time on the income front.

Capricorn

The Moon only left your income sector on Sunday, having spent the weekend sharpening your financial instincts and giving you a nose for money, as well as a chance to tap back into the income intensions, desires and aspirations that you moved into the year with and spent the early months of the week developing. This gave you a chance to refresh your income resolve before moving into the first of many groundbreaking and potentially game changing weeks on the professional front. It’s Venus’ retrograde turn in your work sector on Wednesday that not only opens the door to second chances on the income front, but on the career front as well. Venus will always have an eye on where the money is and with a nose for money this will open the door to second chances on the income front as well.

Aquarius

The Moon’s position in your income sector as you move into the new week, having returned on Sunday, is a bit of a mixed blessing but the benefits far outweigh any negatives. As well as giving you a nose for money and a chance to tap back into the intentions and resolve forged over recent months, the Moon will cross some sensitive ground, with his opposition with Mars pushing some buttons and creating some financial tension. This is just a few days before financial tension is destined to come to a head midweek, giving you a chance to flush things out beforehand. You’re not going to escape getting your buttons pushed this week or financial tension, but as this is the last hurdle you need to cross you’re able to use this as motivation, to come out of your corner fighting.

Pisces

The Moon’s return to your income sector on Wednesday is a case of good timing, even though this may bring some financial tension to a head just before he leaves on Friday. Returning a week to the day since Mercury left your income sector, leaving you with a smart head for money but also bringing to an end any real financial pressures and challenges, this gives you a nose for money and a chance to tie up loose ends and finalise your income objectives for the coming year. Wednesday is also the day that Venus not only turns retrograde, but gives her full support to Saturn and your financial situation. All of a sudden you’re able to look back from a different perspective, while you still have a chance to learn from the past. It’s time to claim your power back.

Your Horoscopes for the Week of May 14th

Aries

The focus is on two key areas of your chart this week and these areas just happen to represent the pending end of one era and the pending start of a new era, with the two starting to overlap. It’s on the income front that an era is coming to an end with Jupiter’s 12 month visit to your income sector coming to an end on the 12th June. As the Sun spends his last week in your income sector, Mercury his first, last and only full week and the Moon making his last visit over the weekend, this is a week for putting all your cards on the table. It’s on the communication front that a new era is also dawning and while next Monday’s solar eclipse will open the door to new beginnings Venus’ retrograde turn on Wednesday will open the door to second chances, especially on the relationship front.

Taurus

The heavens are going all out to make the last week of your birthday month count and to give your new solar year the kind of send off that is destined to make this one of your power weeks. It’s on Monday, a week to the day before the Sun is due to leave your sign that his alignment with Jupiter peaks, giving you the confidence and motivation to make the final days of your solar return count. With Mercury spending his first, last and only full week in your sign and the Moon returning on Friday, giving you an intuitive edge in the final hours of your birthday month you’re able to get things up to speed in a smart and intuitive way. Even though you’ll have to wait for next week for some major new developments on the income front, the door to second chances opens on the income and work fronts.

Gemini

With the Sun due to not only return to your sign next Monday, but the Moon as well, kicking your new solar year off with a solar eclipse, you’re counting down the days to one of your most powerful solar returns ever. With lucky Jupiter returning next month, Mercury next week and Venus already here, chances are you already have a sense that something big is pending. It’s in this final week of your old solar year that you’re able to close old doors and embrace a sense of nostalgia. Even though Venus is already in your sign she’ll turn retrograde on Wednesday, increasing a sense of nostalgia in the air. The irony is that the closer you get to a future that begins next week, the more potent a sense of nostalgia is likely to become. It seems that the path to the future lies through the past.

Cancer

There are two major themes dominating things this week and at first glance they are completely contradictory. On one hand the Sun and Mercury and even the Moon by the weekend, are throwing their full weight and support behind what is a powerful week for networking, connecting and togetherness. On the other hand a desire for seclusion, for alone time and to wallow in a mix of nostalgia and sentimentality is only going to increase, with your daydreams becoming more vivid and alone time more precious. Yet with some smart thinking and clear boundaries you’re able to enjoy the best of both worlds, disappearing into your own world when you want to and becoming fully engaged and plugged in when you need to be. You get to choose how that balance is split.

Leo

This is such a powerful week on the priorities front that it is likely to drown almost everything else out. While there is no doubt that your professional game needs as much of your attention as possible, the all or nothing days of the past are over. You’re starting to realise that it’s not about being on the job 24/7 and blocking everything else out and that it’s more about working smarter, capitalising on the time and resources you do have and seizing the advantages on offer. That will mean that you will have to make some compromises and other areas of your life, especially your relationships and your personal life, won’t get your full attention, but then they don’t need it. Avoid sweating the small stuff or seeing challenges where there are none.

Virgo

There are two main themes this week and while they may appear to be contradictory, if managed well this can work to your advantage. The Moon’s visit to your work sector over the weekend allows you to move into a professionally charged week with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, with Venus’ retrograde turn in your career sector on Wednesday opening the door to second chances. Yet this is also the Sun’s last week in and adventurous part of your chart and Mercury’s first, last and only full week and for both their last full week with lucky Jupiter for another 12 years. The Sun and Mercury will return to your career sector next week and with a solar eclipse next Monday things are about to become even more professionally focused. Embrace a sense of adventure while you can.

Libra

As financially charged as this week is, already you’re waking up to the fact that the best things in life are free and that it’s not always all about the money. This allows you to put things into perspective, which will make it even easier to manage what is destined to be a defining week on the financial front. With luck on your side, financial vision and objectivity, a smart head for money and by the weekend a nose for money as well, you have the resources to put your financial game on the right track. Yet as Venus turns retrograde in an adventurous part of your chart and with even more opportunities to throw open the shutters and windows of your world from next week, this brings a real sense that money is simply a means to an end. Simply going through the motions is no longer enough.

Scorpio

While the Moon will return to your work sector on Wednesday, a week to the day since an active and defining 3 months came to an end, it will only be to check on things, to tie up loose ends and to give you an intuitive read on what if anything needs fine tuning. The days of work matters dominating everything else ended last week, with a chance this week to make your relationships a priority. With money matters already featuring strongly, Venus turning retrograde in your financial sector on Wednesday, opening the door to second chances and a solar eclipse next Monday, opening the door to new beginnings, that’s about to increase. This makes it important that you work with all the resources that the love gods are putting into your relationships this week.

Sagittarius

There is a battle being waged for your attention this week, between forces on the professional front and those on the relationship front. If you have to pick favourites it’s on the work front that there is more urgency, though a better call would be to find a balance between the two. You can’t afford to let your focus slip on the work front with the Sun spending not only his last week in your work sector and Mercury his first, last and only full week of the year, but teaming up with lucky Jupiter for the last time for another 12 years. With the Sun leaving your work sector next Monday, Mercury next Wednesday and Jupiter next month and even the Moon returning on Friday, this is a week for putting everything on the line. Yet Venus is also making this an important relationship week.

Capricorn

Since Venus returned to your work sector last month and especially as you realise this is no ordinary visit, you’ve had to find a balance between work and play and that will become both easier and harder this week. With the Sun spending his last week in a playful, romantic and creative part of your chart and Mercury his first, last and only full week and both spending their last full week here with lucky Jupiter for another 12 years, the focus here is on the future and moving on. It’s Venus’ retrograde turn in your work sector on Wednesday that takes her out of actively competing with more playful forces, joining forces with Saturn to focus more on the second chances this opens the door to. You can’t achieve the right balance if you don’t think you really can have it all.

Aquarius

While Venus has been in a creative, romantic and playful part of your chart since early last month, it’s only now that you’re starting to realise that this is anything more than a passing theme. With Venus turning retrograde on Wednesday, opening the door to second chances and a solar eclipse next Monday due to open the door to even more opportunities, following your heart is about to become one of the most important themes in your life, as will all things heart related. Until then you have a chance to bring things up to speed on the home and family front, where you’re likely to find that things you’ve been working on or towards for weeks, months or even over the last year are finally coming together. Make having things running smoothly on the home front your top priority this week.

Pisces

Having the Moon in your sign as you move into the new week ensures that you have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, giving you a better read on what might be a tricky week. To start with this may make things better rather than worse, for it will highlight and may even exacerbate any personal and/or relationship tension. Yet this is tension that would have come to a head by mid week anyway, so by speeding this up this will give you a chance to get things out in the open. This is the last time that forces on the personal and relationship fronts will go head to head before Mars leaves your relationship sector in July and as luck should have it, comes on what is one of the best weeks of the year for communication and for a communication breakthrough.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 14th

Aries

In her final days in direct motion in your communication sector Venus, planet of love is not only slowing down, she’s drawing closer to an alliance with Saturn in your relationship sector. This is giving you a chance to ensure that the communication lines are open on the relationship front, with the promise of second chances ahead.

Taurus

If there is any pressure or roadblocks on the romantic front use this as a chance to both see what’s pushing your buttons and why, but also as an excuse to come out of your corner fighting. Romantic passions are tired of being suppressed and chances are the more you or life’s realities try and suppress them, the more likely they are to rebel.

Gemini

Venus, planet of love has reached a point where it’s obvious that she is not going to leave your sign anytime soon and that you are now into unchartered waters, with this anything but what you would normally expect from the planet of love. Instead of moving on Venus is staying by your side, ready to work with you to turn your love life around.

Cancer

Support between Mercury, planet of communication and Pluto, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector peaks today, giving you a chance to give the past and unsaid words a voice. That won’t always be possible and if you can’t say what needs to be said to the person you’d like to say it to, then still voice it to yourself, setting unsaid words free.

Leo

When the Moon left your relationship sector yesterday he left you with an intuitive understanding of where things stand on the relationship front and having had a chance to tap into old relationship dreams and fantasies. Hold onto this even though the Moon has moved on, for it’s giving you a chance to regain some authenticity.

Virgo

It’s the Moon’s position in your relationship sector today that may be stirring up some emotional responses and pushing some buttons, but it’s also getting your attention ahead of some defining relationship days. Keep this separate from all things romantic, where there is both an opportunity and a challenge to move out of a romantic rut.

Libra

The Moon only left your romantic sector yesterday, but while it will be relatively easy to tap back into the romantic emotions and feelings evoked over the last few days they will evaporate if not nurtured. Hold onto the romantic fantasies and sense of hope this created, breaking some of the seriousness of late.

Scorpio

The Moon’s position in your romantic sector today is giving you an intuitive read on your heart and any pressure or tension that might be building. At what is an important and defining time for your relationships, with the Sun and lucky Jupiter aligned in your relationship sector, strong emotional responses will make it hard to miss what your heart is trying to tell you.

Sagittarius

With Mercury gone from your romantic sector and a very active and defining 3 months behind you, it’s more about keeping things on track while you put more focus on your relationships. It’s in Venus, planet of love’s final days in direct motion in your relationship sector that you need to stay in the moment, refusing to rush or push things.

Capricorn

Having the Moon in your communication sector as an alignment between the Sun and lucky Jupiter in your romantic sector peaks, gives you a chance to give your heart a voice. There is a new sense of urgency developing and a sense that you need to become more proactive, with a chance today to ask for or to verbalise what you want from love.

Aquarius

It’s hard to believe that you’re just 7 days away from a solar eclipse in your romantic sector that will open the door to new beginnings and unexpected opportunities, for right now it seems like things are slowing right down. It seems that way because it is that way with Venus, planet of love slowing things down to a crawl.

Pisces

Pay attention to anything that pushes your buttons or creates some relationship tension, getting behind what’s pushing your buttons and why you’re having the reactions you are. You’re about to move into some intense and potentially challenging relationship days, but there is also the potential for a breakthrough, especially if you pay attention.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 13th

This is an uplifting day that can bring us joy as the Sun hooks up with bountiful Jupiter in sensual Taurus. This alignment symbolizes the opportunities we have for happiness, and the confidence that we’ll find satisfaction. Meanwhile, the Moon enters imaginative Pisces at 7:41 am EDT and joins dreamy Neptune, making fantasies seem real. Putting our thoughts into motion is further supported by clever Mercury’s harmonious trine to energetic Mars.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You feel as if everything is going your way today, but you might end up spending more resources than you expect. It’s as if you’re ready to pay the price to have a good time, but you might underestimate the cost. Thankfully, you can rely on your analytical skills to help you navigate through a day of potential excess. Have fun; just remember that the bill will come due once the party is over.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are feeling quite positive now with the Sun-Jupiter conjunction expanding your horizons and empowering you to soar on the wings of your unrestrained optimism. Although you are ready to enjoy yourself today, overindulging your senses could mean a tummy ache or a splitting head tomorrow. Nevertheless, paying attention to your limits doesn’t have to lessen your enjoyment. Play hard without going too far.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can get by today by doing less work than usual. It’s as if a guardian angel is watching over you, or, perhaps, a close friend comes to your aid just when you need it most. Of course, your positive attitude doesn’t hurt; in fact, self-confidence is a magnet now that attracts good things your way. Don’t second-guess someone’s motives; just graciously accept what is offered with an open heart.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

There’s no need to head off on your own today. In fact, it’s a good idea to surround yourself with friends and family — the more people, the merrier. Being part of group gives you a feeling of belonging to a community or a tribe of like-minded folks. Don’t be afraid to open your heart to the love that’s around you, for whatever you give will return to you many times over.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be thinking about your professional objectives, you’re not interested in working too hard to reach your goals today. Your confidence is running high and you might even feel as if success is owed to you because of past efforts. Don’t be too cocky or you could inadvertently push away those who want to help you reach your goals. Paradoxically, a little humility goes a long way toward ensuring that you will receive the respect that you deserve.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Today you can concentrate your intentions toward the fulfillment of your desires. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you’ll receive everything you want. However, your singular focus can actually bring an increase of abundance — including love — into your life. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn and grow. Take advantage of what life has to offer before it’s too late.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel that a long-term phase of inner growth is coming to an end. The power of your positive thinking can be transformed into rewarding action now. Your rich fantasy life turns outward toward social activities as your needs begin to shift. Get ready to swing into action, but don’t overextend your commitments or you’ll quickly regret taking on too much.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

All types of relationships are favored now and it might even seem as if others just want to make you happy. Although you may question someone else’s motives, your suspicions are probably unfounded. Rather than doubting anyone’s integrity, just accept the advice or assistance you receive with appreciation. But don’t succumb to the temptation of expecting more than is actually offered or you’ll end up being disappointed rather than happily surprised with the good news.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Too much of a good thing isn’t always such a good thing. You need to remember now that honoring reasonable limits can help you find satisfaction. You might be carried away by circumstances that start out feeling pleasurable until things grow out of control. Don’t be afraid to enjoy yourself, but keep in mind that excessive indulgence could ultimately bring pain instead of pleasure.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although your creativity is running high, it’s still difficult to plot a new course of action because there are so many possibilities available. Additionally, if everything is working well enough on its own, you may not want to jeopardize your sense of well-being. Practicality will ultimately rule the roost. Opportunities for personal growth and self-expression are everywhere, but setting priorities enables you to maximize the current potential. Trust your instincts and your chances for success are quite good.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You must filter out the extraneous noise if you are to make the most of your day. You may even need to withdraw from social activities to spend time alone. The greatest opportunities arise now when you are at peace with yourself, rather than when you are interacting with others. Don’t be distracted from your inner process; you’ll do best today by working on your own.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The mists continue to swirl around you, clouding your perceptions of the outer world while increasing your reliance on your intuition. You are at the top of your game now when socializing, as long as you don’t waste time trying to logically figure out what to say next. Don’t worry if you’re not making sense. Instead of thinking your way through a situation, speak directly from your heart. The real rewards of the day are emotional and spiritual rather than material.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 13

One of the advantages of reading this calendar on a daily basis is that you can prepare for an upcoming event several days before-hand. In the last couple of days, you have been given the alert that the Sun was getting closer and closer to joining forces with Jupiter. Now that merger becomes a reality at 6:24AM PDT – energizing 24 degrees of Taurus. This occurs less than two hours after the Moon has left a void cycle in Aquarius by entering compassionate and empathic Pisces (4:43AM PDT). The combination of the two largest celestial bodies in the solar system reaching their annual conjunction while the Moon embraces one of Jupiter’s traditional ruling signs (Pisces) indicates that advanced and divine dynamics may be at play. The question is whether mere mortals can harness the fire of the gods and goddesses with the alignments going on right now. Helping you tap into cosmic substance – via the water and fire principles – is the Moon uniting with Neptune (10:25AM PDT) and Mercury forming a flowing trine with Mars (1:55PM PDT). Overall, the universe appears to be offering you great opportunities to take a giant leap forward in your main fields of expertise. Some additional hassles or concerns may appear later on when the Moon makes its monthly opposition to Mars (8:49PM PDT) while Mercury forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (8:57PM PDT). You should also note that Venus is rapidly slowing down its forward motion in Gemini as it prepares to stop and go into reverse on Tuesday morning May 15. Steep yourself in some of the masterpieces of metaphysics as the Moon unites with Chiron in Pisces (10:30PM PDT) and Mercury approaches a mind-enriching trine to profound Pluto (forming exactly at 1:10AM PDT tomorrow morning).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, May 11

Ready, set, go! Inspirations can be flying fast and furiously as Mercury makes a contra-parallel with Neptune (5:04AM PDT) followed by an inspirational, 72-degree connection from the radiant Sun to healer-shaman Chiron (7:15AM PDT). Learn more about esoteric philosophy, meditation, ancient ruins, pyramid power, UFOs and ETs under this double-whammy of far-out stellar associations. Check your subconscious to see if Technicolor dreams have been stored from last night or the recent past. Strange forces may be on the prowl later on since Saturn forms a frictional, 135-degree link to Chiron (1:59PM PDT). Both of these celestial bodies are linked to the concepts of right timing – materially (Saturn) and spiritually (Chiron). If twilight zone or deja vu type experiences seem stronger than usual, don’t be surprised. Meanwhile, Aquarius Moon generates interest in group projects, team sports and community events. Revelations can strike concerning your business and investment plans as Mercury unites with Vesta in finance-oriented Taurus (7:38PM PDT). Start gearing up for a potent weekend that highlights the annual union of the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – happening this year in Taurus on Sunday. The power of positive thinking, a contagious self-confidence and winning smile can take you far during the next 48-hour cosmic thrill-ride.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, May 10

Make steady progress in business and investment matters under the favorable energy-field of the Moon in Capricorn in trine to the Sun in Taurus (5:04AM PDT). This is quickly followed by an equally auspicious and optimism-generating Moon-Jupiter trine in the same earth signs (8:58AM PDT). What could land you in hot water is a Mercury-Mars parallel (9:29AM PDT). This sky pattern can go either way – to give you a boost of emotional and mental vitality or push you to act too fast, without carefully thinking of the potential consequences. Before you know it, the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Libra (12:12PM PDT) – starting a void uncertainty zone that lasts until 10:04PM PDT. During this 9+ hour twilight zone, complete odd jobs and old ventures, but don’t initiate bold, new plans. Have fun with photography, film or video work, poetry and painting, improvisational music and dance while Mercury forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Neptune (3:00PM PDT). This may also be a good time to enhance your spiritual studies. Your productivity quotient can reach new heights during the void lunar cycle as Mercury forms a strong parallel with Ceres (8:53PM PDT). Once the Moon enters the universal air sign of Aquarius (10:04PM PDT), start thinking more about joining forces with other like-minded souls in global and humanitarian efforts. Write down overnight dreams as they could be precognitive and tune you into future events as Mercury forms another engaging contact with Neptune, this time a contra-parallel that becomes exact at 5:04AM PDT tomorrow morning.

New Moon Report for May 8th – Mercury in Taurus

Mercury in Taurus

Tuesday, May 8, 10:15 pm PDT, Wednesday, May 9, 1:15 am EDT

The speedy messenger’s presence in this fixed sign slows down thinking and concentrates minds. We can focus on the basics now, helping to put ideas on a more realistic foundation. Mercury in Taurus isn’t the most creative position for this intellectual planet because it’s rooted in facts and eschews fantasy. It may also take additional time to digest new concepts that require thorough chewing before we’re ready to swallow. Trust, though, can be built with down-to-earth conversations that are grounded in simplicity and expressed with clarity. Changing others’ minds is challenging, particularly if people feel pressured to do so. Encountering resistance to new ideas from individuals or in our own minds is best overcome by subtly working around conflict rather than trying to force issues. A calm voice and easygoing approach connects more effectively than heated conversations.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, May 8th

This is a good point in the calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments don’t just disappear off the astro-psychic radar screen a day after they occur. Therefore, last night’s Jupiter-Uranus and Mars-Uranus high jinx remain a threat to everyone’s decorum and well-being today. Their potentially mischievous vibrations are somewhat diminished, but still reverberating a little below the threshold of consciousness. Fortunately, we don’t have giant-sized replacements to take their place until tomorrow when four fairly major alignments reach exactitude. For the most part, you can indulge in favorite arts, crafts, hobbies and pastimes during much of today under fiery and enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon. Communication channels are reasonably clear in the hours building up to the Moon making a flowing trine of 120-degrees to Mercury (6:35PM PDT). Once this exactly occurs, the lunar orb is void, but only for 26 minutes until 7:01PM PDT when the Moon enters industrious, hardworking Capricorn. This is a signal to be more focused on fulfilling career ambitions and energizing professional plans during the next two days. Assisting your efforts in this regard is Mercury entering earthy, persistent Taurus (10:16PM PDT) until May 24. If you are feeling a strange sense of buoyancy and even euphoria overnight, chalk it up to the approach of the mind-expanding Sun parallel Jupiter (forming precisely at 5:39AM PDT tomorrow morning).
