Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Jan. 11th

Our actions don’t seem to elicit the responses that we expected today. Instead, everything takes longer now that energetic Mars in detail-oriented Virgo is moving very slowly, getting ready to go retrograde in a couple of weeks. Mars forms supernatural septiles with Venus and Mercury, turning things weird. Thankfully, dreams can become real as the fearless Leo Moon guides us to overcome uncomfortable situations by maintaining a positive attitude.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your ruling planet Mars is held suspended in time today, making it difficult to initiate action. Even if you have a concrete plan, it may be nearly impossible to stick to it. The timing is off now; just as you are finally ready to start a new project, a wave of emotions can sweep over you and catch you off guard. Nevertheless, you don’t need to wait any longer; it’s time to sprint toward your destination no matter what. Concentrate on reaching your goals, even if they suddenly seem far away.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Taking action too soon may not seem like your regular style, but you might become so impatient today that you do something without considering what might happen next. You could get hooked by someone who has a specific idea of what you should be doing at work. You’re willing to jeopardize the stability of your current job for a chance at real success. Go for it, but don’t burn any bridges that you will later regret.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You want to create a big splash now as you demonstrate how proactive you can be in a tough situation. However, you might not think that revealing your emotions is a good idea. Although finding your center of gravity is useful, acting cautiously actually helps your cause. There’s no need to change everything all at once. Instead, take a few steps backward, breathe deeply and give it your best shot again once you’re ready.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re motivated to take on a new project today, but as you get closer to starting your excitement might begin to wane. Even if you do jump in, you might not have sufficient stamina to finish it, so try not to waste too much energy. Managing your resources wisely now could be crucial to your well-being later. There’s a lot happening around you, so it’s wise to prioritize your tasks immediately and not after it’s too late.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may not be comfortable with your role as an action hero today as fiery Mars runs into a complex web of aspects. You might feel as if you’re ready to boil over, yet the fire isn’t quite hot enough to do the trick. Cooling your jets until everything is in order may not be an option because the window of opportunity won’t stay open for very long. Even if you don’t have a detailed plan in place, just grab the chance while you can and apply your energy to creating your future.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may not feel like seeing too many of your friends and acquaintances today, so your initial impulse might be to withdraw from the action. Unfortunately, this isn’t the healthiest response, especially if your presence is helpful. Think about following through with your social obligations while still leaving some time left over to follow your dreams. You can do it all now if you don’t lose yourself to your fantasies along the way.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Nearly everything in your life appears to be growing more complicated again, especially if your friends and associates make demands that raise your anger. You’re not interested in being pushed around now, and if you’re provoked you’re likely to surprise others by stepping into combat mode. It makes the most sense for everyone to leave you alone today, unless they’re ready to play by your rules.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your traditional ruling planet Mars is the major planetary player today as it surrealistically septiles magnetic Venus and motor-mouth Mercury. This erratic energy can transform a simple conversation into a major conflict or a passionate encounter. Fortunately, you may be more adept now at making peace, not war. However, you must remain vigilant because conscious effort on your part won’t just happen on its own.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your day is busy with noisy conversations, too many emails and a phone that won’t leave you alone. You could even lose your temper if today’s data overload becomes too much for you to manage. However, ego battles aren’t useful and have no place in your life. Blaming someone else won’t accomplish anything of value; stop talking about the past and shift your attention to the positive changes you want to make for the future.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might want to demonstrate your passion to a loved one today and see where the process carries you. However, you could miss a prime opportunity unless you stay true to your feelings and communicate them honestly. You really don’t have to add flourishes to your words or need to embellish your actions. Just tell the truth in a straightforward manner to minimize the possibility of misunderstandings.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Partnerships remain in the spotlight today as the needy Leo Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Companions pulls you toward others. However, Mars is being stressed in your 8th House of Intimacy, prompting you to believe that a friend or lover is crowding your comfort zone. Be courageous and defend your personal space, but don’t take things too far by attacking someone else. Even if you’re a bit worried, you’re probably not in as much danger as you might think.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may seem more approachable to others today, which encourages them to trust you with their needs. If someone is trying to finish a project and looking for reinforcement, you’re the go-to person now. Unfortunately, you’re growing tired of having to hold down the fort. But avoiding your responsibilities isn’t a real option, so start right away. The quicker you get rolling, the sooner your work will be complete.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 11th

It would be great to report that happy days are here again and that most troubling situations – cosmically speaking – are on permanent hiatus. However, that is not in the 2012 game-plan and even two days from now – on a Friday the Thirteenth! – Mercury will unite with distant, mysterious and secretive Pluto while Venus unites with dreamy and far-out Neptune. With these intense planetary alignments waiting in the proverbial wings, take advantage of the joyful vibes coming from this morning’s Moon-Jupiter parallel (6:25AM PST). If you are not a frequent reader of this calendar, be aware that parallel and contra-parallel alignments are calculated by watching celestial bodies moving north and south of the Celestial Equator whereas zodiacal alignments are calculated in proximity to the great circle known as the Ecliptic. The Moon with Jupiter via a parallel formation is similar to a conjunction of these two bodies in the zodiac, and every lunar union with Jupiter normally offers up golden opportunities, an increase in fortunate tidings, and a reinforcement of the power of positive thinking. If you are awake and alert a few hours before the Moon-Jupiter alliance, it is best to keep your mental faculties serene since Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Pallas (2:12AM PST). The playful and loving vibrations of Leo Moon continue in force today – although some emotional challenges and psychic tensions can envelope primary partnerships when the Moon opposes Venus (9:29PM PST). Build up dear ones with praise and support instead of criticizing them with words of condemnation.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 10th

We may be feeling a bit out of sync with our feelings today as the proud Leo Moon forms challenging aspects with rational Mercury and passionate Pluto. Even if we’re clear about our needs, it’s difficult to find the right words to say what we mean. But we’re not likely to quit, even if we realize achieving satisfaction might not be so easy. Nevertheless, keeping a positive attitude enables us to rise above nearly any setbacks we face now.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may grow bored unless you have an opportunity to do things your way today. The lively Leo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Self-Expression encourages you to share what you’re feeling, even if it means shaking everything up a bit. However, actually setting your plan into motion could require more forethought than you want to invest. But don’t let that stop you; it’s your time to take a risk and be as creative as you feel. Original thinking helps you find the best way to make it happen.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could be so caught up in your own thoughts today that you can miss an opportunity for fun that’s right in front of your nose. Don’t worry if you’re not motivated to work hard because indulging in pleasure might be exactly what you need now. As long as you don’t totally avoid your previous obligations, there’s nothing wrong with a quick escape to replenish your energy. After you have relaxed for a while, you should be much more amenable to returning to your responsibilities.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re motivated to make it appear like you’re enjoying yourself today because you’re trying to set an example for others to follow. You may think if your co-workers see you having a good time, they will want to join in. Unfortunately, this tactic isn’t the smartest strategy since your game playing could alienate the same people you want to attract. Just be straightforward from the start or you’ll end up being so clever that you outsmart yourself.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might be so stubborn when it comes to spending money today that you disagree with someone who thinks you should be more frugal. Although this conflict may not be worth an argument, you still need to be careful about denying your feelings. You could grow irritated if you bury your real needs and remain completely silent. Ultimately, it’s best to say what’s on your mind now. Even if you must compromise, you’ll be more optimistic about what’s ahead once you express yourself.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if you have a serious to-do list in front of you, you’re not necessarily in the mood to work today. The Moon’s visit to your dramatic sign makes it more difficult to hide your feelings, yet expressing them might not help your day run any smoother. Instead of setting a good example for others by being responsible, you’re tempted to evade your chores now. However, handling your obligations early in the day so you have time to play later settles your resistance before it grows into rebellion or resentment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This can be an enjoyable day even if you don’t have a lot going on. The Leo Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Spirituality allows you to find great enjoyment, even from the simplest pleasures. There’s no need to go out of your way to make something special happen. Instead, just grab a bit of well-deserved rest and relaxation while you can. No fretting is required; your life will grow busy again soon enough.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Going out and seeking unusual experiences with your friends today sounds like a good idea. However, you might become so involved with a project at home that you reconsider your previous commitments. Finding a creative flow can be very satisfying, but think twice before you just cancel an engagement. Even if it’s a challenge to get moving now, you’ll be glad you did once you’re in motion.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Oftentimes you enjoy working behind the scenes, but the Leo Moon in your 10th House of Status encourages you to ask for the recognition you have earned. You may even be tempted to overdramatize your feelings to ensure that they are heard and acknowledged. Unfortunately, being too assertive today might actually produce results that are opposite to what you desire. Ironically, you won’t have to practice self-restraint once you realize that grandstanding is counterproductive.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your eagerness to let your imagination dream up future adventures may be stronger now than your ability to turn them into reality. However, you might discover that you don’t have to be so pragmatic to make your fantasies real. Lean on using your common sense by eliminating all but the most practical ideas. Then, allow plenty of time to develop your plans before you put them into motion. Mapping out your strategy in terms of weeks and months maximizes your chances for success.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually capable of working hard and waiting for personal satisfaction if your goals are clearly defined. However, you may feel very disappointed once you realize that you don’t have what you want today. Even if your most important needs are being fulfilled, you might still think that there’s something missing — yet you don’t know what it could be. Your ongoing frustration can get the best of you unless you truly believe that there’s no hurry to find the answer. Take your time; you have a few more weeks to sort it all out.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to stand up for yourself today if others try to bully you into taking a different course of action. Don’t let someone get away with assuming power that wasn’t earned. If you see a friend or co-worker misusing authority, be brave and speak up. But don’t get hooked into believing that you have to prove anything. Simply getting the truth, as you see it, out into the open helps everyone involved.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You probably have plenty to accomplish today now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Work. Although your mind could meander off course, others can see through your attempts to make it look like you’re highly focused now. Don’t bother trying to hide the obvious; it will only take extra time and energy. Acknowledge the richness of your current fantasy life while still doing your best to cross tasks off your list one at a time.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for Jan. 9th

You are now in the 48-hour time-period when it is helpful to distribute the inspirations received during last night’s Full Moon meditation. In addition, your dreams and out-of-the-body visions early this morning can give you a new and deeper understanding of the meaning of life. Healing forces are back on the march as Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Chiron (1:14PM PST). Revelations abound for the next several hours as the Sun forms an inspirational, 72-degree alliance with Uranus (1:55PM PST) while the Moon in Cancer trines Ceres in Pisces (3:15PM PST). The Sun-Uranus link-up can double as a catalyst to learn more about advances on the cutting edge of science and metaphysics. The Moon-Ceres harmonious connection draws you closer to Mother Nature, maternal figures, pets and children in your family circle. Slow your tempo during a void lunar cycle in Cancer that goes from 6:26PM PST to 8:36PM PST. During the void twilight zone, Venus in Aquarius squares Juno in Scorpio (8:15PM PST). Ouch! Keep striving to improve the quality of primary partnerships even if ornery energies seem to be bouncing off your psychic force field. Once the Moon is safely in fiery, robust Leo (8:36PM PST), allow your inner child to roam free for a change of pace. Enjoy attending a play, piano recital or cultural exhibit. Board, card or word games give you a boost. Come from the heart in vital discussions with dear ones.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, Jan. 8th

Exciting interactions complicate the day as communicator Mercury takes center stage. The messenger planet’s shift into earthy Capricorn helps us be more practical, but its fluid trine to philosophical Jupiter expands our ideas past the normal constraints of reality. Mercury’s unstable square with shocking Uranus provokes radical honesty, whatever the cost. However, the Moon’s visit to cautious Cancer makes us wary about revealing everything.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re trying to catch up on chores and your unrestrained optimism tempts you to take on more work than you can possibly finish. Unfortunately, your exuberance may be stymied if you reach too far. Instead of believing that you need to convert every intellectual breakthrough into tangible results, just allow your thoughts to rise and fall like the tides. Visualize yourself standing on the shores of awareness, but remember that you don’t have to capture every individual wave to make your mark.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You feel as if you’re waiting for something big to happen, yet it remains out of reach. You want to settle down, but your restlessness lingers until you accept that the resistance comes from your own attitude. Fortunately, when you begin to let go of control, the tension begins to disperse. Forget about adjusting specific details of your day; instead consider changing your long-term goals. Ironically, aiming your attention at the distant horizon has a positive impact on the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s challenging to follow through on anything that you start now, but you won’t likely be bothered about it for too long. You forget about what you were doing as soon as you get another idea and become immersed in the next activity. Your behavior might be upsetting to others today, yet you’ll probably continue scattering your energy until you can no longer keep up with everything. Ultimately, obtaining closure on unfinished business improves your reputation and raises your confidence.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may wish things were simpler today, it feels as if you built your relationships on shifting sands. Thankfully, you might be able to change the energy faster than you thought possible by just telling the truth. Don’t hold back; even if your life is turned upside down for a while, it will settle back on the solid foundation that you seek. Have the courage to throw caution to the wind when it comes to following your heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You think you know what you want today, but the circumstances keep changing. Just as you become comfortable with one perspective, everything shifts and you need to readjust your expectations. Your willingness to be flexible could prevent a serious headache. Pay constant attention to the interpersonal dynamics and respond with your heart, not your head. Too much thinking now can get in the way of your best interests.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is totally buzzing today, yet it may be too much for you to easily integrate, especially if you believe you already have the answers. The more rigid you are in your thinking, the louder the static is from electrical Uranus. But your readiness for change empowers you to explore the outer limits of your imagination. However, remember that you don’t have to push your thought process over the edge; your evolving perspective is all you need.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your mind is operating at an incredibly high speed today, yet you’re wondering if you’re capable of keeping it up throughout the entire day. You might assume that things will eventually slow down, but other people keep introducing more complications. The hectic pace is fun at first, but might become more exhausting as the day goes on. Don’t try to do everything all at once. Extending your thinking into the future can help you remain calmer in the present.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are possessed with self-confidence today, especially if someone you trust is expressing his or her approval of your performance. Although unpredictable Uranus can set off a strike of lighting that upsets your current routine, lucky Jupiter is standing by with cosmic assistance. As long as you’re willing to change your mind quickly, you should be able to make good use of the new information that comes to you now. Letting go of old assumptions clears the way for an exciting new direction.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter encourages you to take on more than you would on another day. Fortunately, you’re able to accomplish so much today that others might think you are a superhero. However, there’s a price to pay for your action-packed day. So many events are interrelated now that one unexpected blip can bring down the entire house of cards. But even a crisis or two won’t stop you if you’re open to starting over again and shifting your course as needed.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may think that everything is going to calm down, but you probably won’t have time to catch your breath for a couple of days. You’re being called back into action today and you must show up ready to work or you might lose valuable ground. Fortunately, mental Mercury’s shift into your ambitious sign indicates that you’re up for the task. Accept the current challenges with a fierce determination and get started immediately; you don’t have any time to waste.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although your thoughts are tied to your future, today’s tenacious Cancer Moon reveals your desire to stay exactly where you are now. Unfortunately, you must let go of the past as electric Uranus zaps you out of your nostalgic fantasies. Overcome your fears and face the brave new world that’s right around the next corner. You might not be able to see what’s coming, but if you’re willing to take a calculated risk the rewards will follow.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t have to convince anyone that your plan is the right one today; you only need to communicate with honesty and integrity. There are no correct or incorrect points of view now, just differing ones. Even if your opinions are unconventional, others will respect you for clearly stating exactly where you stand. Nevertheless, you will appear more sincere if you are also sensitive to other people’s positions. Having an open mind is the key to making the best choices.

Daily Cosmic Calender for January 8th

Inspirations are flying fast and furiously as the entire day builds up to the exact moment of the Full Moon that activates 19 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer (11:31PM PST). Early on, your talents as a superb problem-solver are enhanced – thanks to a mentally-exuberant, 72-degree rapport from Pallas to Jupiter (3:45AM PST). This could also be a good day to conduct strategy sessions, on a wide range of topics, with a trusted adviser or friend. You receive some excellent back-up support – mentally and spiritually – as Mercury forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in earth signs (10:06AM PST). However, the universe seems to love tossing a shocking surprise into the proceedings just to see how mortals on Earth behave. This shocking surprise arrives in the form of a Mercury-Uranus 90-degree sharp square from Capricorn to Aries (3:24PM PST). Jumping to conclusions without information or clear answers is taboo. If you have to drive or travel a far distance, use sound judgment. Communications can also suffer around the time-period when Mercury and Uranus play mischief-makers. Meanwhile, the rest of the evening pulls you toward the potential magic of the Full Moon (11:31PM PST). Send out your uplifting thoughts and prayers to humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Individual and group meditations are advised. Think more of your higher purpose while dwelling in your physical, emotional and mental bodies in this lifetime. Be a loving, compassionate ambassador of goodwill to people on the skids.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 7th

Our dreams may seem real today, and making plans now can actually help us manifest them as the fast-thinking Gemini Moon trines realistic Saturn and nebulous Neptune. Additionally, clever Mercury activates this long-lasting Saturn-Neptune trine, making this a perfect day to map out your future. But a Venus-Pluto alignment lures us into a dance with desire. Our emotions may overpower logic when the Moon enters sensitive Cancer at 4:05 pm EST.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may set your hopes on a lofty goal today because your enthusiasm can counteract a discouraging mood. Although your thinking may be inspired now, you’re still able to remain pragmatic about what you can actually accomplish. Later in the day you might wonder if you extended your reach too far. Don’t worry; you didn’t. It just going to take time for you to put it all together.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although your self-confidence should pull you through a bout with uncertainty, your moods swing widely throughout the day. It’s not like you to put blind faith into a vision or a fantasy, but it really seems possible to reach for the stars today and grab one. Unfortunately, you may not be as ready for prime time as you think. Don’t be too hard on yourself when you realize how much more work is still in front of you. Thankfully, you can rely on your legendary patience now that you need it.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your day begins as an intellectual curiosity; you wonder if your dreams are worth pursuing. But as the day wears on, you become more involved with your fantasy until you’re hooked by the heat of your desires. You may worry that you’ve lost your objectivity, but you bravely push into unknown territory as you’re tempted by your irrational feelings. Just remember to take it slowly; if you suddenly find yourself in emotional deep water you might be tempted to run back the safety of dry land.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

As long as you can stay connected with your inner world, the path ahead should remain clear enough to let you continue on your way. It doesn’t matter if you run into an unexpected obstacle if you know that you’re doing the best you can do. But don’t convince yourself that you know what’s going to happen. Although your fate can shift several times, staying focused on your goal remains your best strategy.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can appear to be quite an enigma today, especially if you consciously choose to keep your emotions hidden from others. Although you might feel thin-skinned, you’re probably more secure if your friends and co-workers can’t ask revealing questions because they don’t even know something is wrong. Ironically, someone’s eager support may annoy you as much as the resistance you face. Thankfully, your troubles fade once you become confident enough to reveal your vulnerability to someone you trust.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are a fount of inspirational vision and strength for your friends today. If you are participating on a team effort or project, others in the group or your family will look up to you for guidance. But there’s no need to be authoritarian; just share your feelings as you respond to what’s happening around you. Your instincts will naturally reveal the most logical steps to take next.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Sharing your dreams with someone you trust enables you to stay emotionally balanced today. But this isn’t an open invitation to float away into Fantasyland. Instead, this is an opportunity express your vision of an ideal future realistic enough to be possible. However, your feelings may be harder to reveal later in the day if you didn’t begin the dialogue when you had the chance. Getting a previously hidden secret out into the open enables you to delve deeper toward the evening.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your perspective grows more intense throughout the day as magnetic Venus forms a dynamic aspect with your key planet Pluto. If your intentions are altruistic, you can convince others to join you in your cause. Your ability to reframe an unpleasant situation allows you to make it attractive while still adhering to the truth. Take your time to explain exactly what you see now because you can widen people’s horizons and help them see possibilities they might have missed.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might appear to be spacey to others at first, but once they hear you explain your idea further it begins to make more sense to them. Your imagination enables you to extend your thoughts well into the future, yet you’re able to back up your observations with sound thinking. Ultimately, this is a great day to share your dreams if you’re willing to keep one foot firmly planted on the ground.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your communication is so clear today that you can hold your audience’s attention as you talk about the future. However, you’re also in touch with your imagination, so you’re not limited to a logical perspective. There’s no need to hold on to previous plans as current circumstances continue to change. Letting go of an old agenda helps to make more room for a newer one that is more meaningful to your current state of mind and more interesting to everyone else.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your day may start off smoothly enough, but you could be brought right to the edge of your comfort zone before it’s over. Although you seem to have a healthy balance between reality and fantasy, you grow increasingly uncomfortable as an emotional drama sidetracks you from your dreaming and planning. Don’t fight against the currents pulling you out of your rational world; be patient and remain open to the process of transformation. You can learn a valuable lesson from this experience.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if the pressures are easing so you can breathe easily again. You’re enthused by the intriguing possibilities you see everywhere you look. Happily, you believe your goals to be within reach. Nevertheless, you can also sense a growing disturbance in your peaceful energy field, and although you can’t recognize its source, this disharmony bothers you. Trusting your sixth sense is wise now, but don’t let your fear of the unknown overpower the comfort you know.

New Moon Report for Jan. 7th – Mercury in Capricorn

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

 

Mercury in Capricorn

Saturday, January 7, 10:34 pm PST, Sunday, January 8, 1:34 am EST

Cerebral Mercury in responsible Capricorn is excellent for rational thinking and clear communication. However, the speedy messenger’s aspects with boundless Jupiter and spontaneous Uranus today fill our heads with original ideas and spur provocative comments. Once this energy settles down we will quickly put our thoughts in order and find the intellectual discipline needed to concentrate on achieving our ambitions.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Jan. 7th

Keep in mind that this is day two in preparation for tomorrow night’s potent, enlightening Full Moon. It is also a day filled with several aspects, and the more aspects in any one 24-hour time-period, the more emotional shifts and mood changes normally are in the works. Early morning insights can be pervasive – thanks to Mercury forming supportive, 60-degree alliances with Saturn (12:14AM PST) and Neptune (7:17AM PST). The pragmatic and the exalted can merge with dazzling results. If emotional turbulence begins to nip at your heels, join the club as the Moon makes five alignments from 10:36AM PST to 2:59PM PST. Along the way, Gemini Moon becomes void at 11:53AM PST – with this limbo time-span lasting until 1:06PM PST when the Moon enters its natural abode of watery Cancer. Once the Moon enters Cancer, everything connected to home and family concerns are back in the limelight. Cooking, baking and cleaning campaigns are emphasized. Learning more about your ancestral tree and the value of your antiques and heirlooms can provide revelations. Some jarring energies could arrive in the evening hours as Venus forms an abrasive, 45-degree tie to Pluto (7:38PM PST) while the Sun forms a similar connection with Chiron (7:51PM PST). It is a good time to heal old wounds and pains. A major event happens later on when Mercury enters Capricorn (10:35PM PST) – a cycle that lasts until January 27. Think more about your higher destiny on Planet Earth than on trivial pursuits.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 4th

Once you shake off the emotional tensions coming from a Moon-Venus square (2:50AM PST), there is an excellent heavenly aspect attempting to raise your productivity quotient several notches – an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to the largest asteroid Ceres (3:16AM PST). Your personal charisma can soar later on as the Moon in Taurus trines Mars in Virgo (8:39AM PST) followed by a sensational Venus-Jupiter 72-degree contact (12:17PM PST). Take advantage of all glowing opportunities coming your way. Know that your creative artistry and optimistic mind-set can attract good fortune to you like a magnet. Overdoing a good thing may land you in hot water as the day proceeds since the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree link to dreamy Neptune (3:13PM PST) while Mercury forms an abrasive square to Ceres (10:37PM PST). The Sun and Neptune in any kind of challenging rapport has the potential of building a temporary haze that can fog up your approach to dealing with affairs of the heart and money matters. Due to Mercury being at odds with Ceres, you may want to consider shifting your diet and nutritional needs on to a higher plateau.

There are times it is like a three-ring circus around here. If he puts up a big canvas sign on the side, attaches tires and hooks us to a semi-truck. I running for the hills, lol!

Spellcrafting for Wednesday

 

Cleansing the Aura

This spell is a cleansing one which uses nothing but sound and can be done anywhere though the open air is better. It will depend on your own sense of yourself what sound you use but the one given is known to be successful.
 
You will need:
  • An open space
  • Your voice

The Spell:

  • Find a spot in which you feel comfortable -within your open space.
  • It will depend on what you are attempting to -get rid of which spot is better. Be sure to take-plenty of time over choosing this until it feels-absolutely right.
  • Settle yourself comfortably on the ground.
  • Take a big deep breath and then breathe out.
  • Your breath out should be slightly longer -than the in breath.
  • Do this three times to clear your lungs
  • Now take a further deep breath and this time -as you exhale say as loudly as you can:

Ahh Ee Oo

  • Repeat the sounds at least twice more -increasing in intensity each time until you are

-actually screaming

  • If you can, continue for two more sets of three

(nine times in all, though six is fine.)

  • Finally sit quietly, place your hands on the

earth or the floor, re-orientate yourself in your

surroundings and absorb fresh energy as you-do so.

  • Become aware of the sounds around you.
  • Leave the area.

This is quite a powerful technique and you do need

to be quiet for the rest of the day, so that you can

allow the energy to settle. The technique is a good

way to deal with the frustrations of your everyday

world and often results in being able to look at

things from a different perspective.

Magickal Graphics

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 3rd

Returning to work after the shift from one year to another is never an easy chore. However, the celestial bodies of our solar system seem to be in an affable mood right now as the Moon in Taurus forms a flowing trine to distant Pluto in Capricorn (5:20AM PST) while Venus unites with Pallas in Aquarius (10:09AM PST). The Moon-Pluto liaison can enhance your mental concentration and spiritual willpower, but the Venus-Pallas conjunction is truly a jewel as it reinforces your problem-solving skills and ability to strategize with trusted associates. In addition, it is wise to stock up on foods, vitamins and supplements that strengthen your immune system as Pallas connects to the genetic code, DNA and our defense against illness. More good news is on the horizon since the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Capricorn form a harmonious trine (4:44PM PST) just 7 minutes before illuminating insights abound during a Sun-Mercury parallel (4:51PM PST). Later on, Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree link to Vesta (9:54PM PST) – a definite help in increasing the value of your assets and investments if you can sensibly tune into the shape of things to come on the economic front. Vesta also relates to home and hearth, insurance rates and coverage, as well as soul-sisters – eager to offer you wise advice across the board.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 2nd

The weekend starts out on a sassy note with the playful Gemini Moon’s creative connections to the cosmic lovers Venus and Mars. This flirtatious mood passes quickly, though, as the mood-setting Moon slips into sensitive Cancer on Saturday afternoon. Feelings shift for no reason and plans change without warning, reminding us to be flexible to maintain emotional balance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Finding your comfort zone could be challenging this weekend with an awkward alignment of alluring Venus and aggressive Mars on Friday. Statements may be misinterpreted and stronger emotions might follow during the next two days that arouse defensive feelings. A little bit of discretion, an open mind and a strong dose of self-control can go a long way to help you avoid frustration and frayed nerves.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your peace-loving ruling planet Venus is shaken by tense planetary patterns this week. Volatile Uranus springs surprises on Monday and provocative Pluto arouses mistrust on Saturday. Adjusting your social expectations helps you avoid feeling bullied or being perceived as stubborn. Still, addressing your deep feelings this weekend could strengthen a relationship if you’re able to discuss them without engaging in a blame game or falling victim to shame.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon in your chatty sign is rich with social opportunities on Friday. The flirtatious side of your personality casts you in a positive light as long as you don’t take yourself too seriously. The mood changes drastically on Saturday, possibly provoking you to question your self-worth and what you want from others. You may not resolve issues right away, so allow time for feelings to settle instead of pushing for immediate answers.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have the sense that something is coming to a head since this week finishes with an evocative Full Moon in your sign late on Sunday night. It’s important to weigh your options and open up the lines of communication to maintain some semblance of order in your relationship life. A constructive conversation could go a long way to making sense out an emotionally charged issue. There are many different ways to look at your situation, so keep your mind and heart open to what others have to say.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your ruling planet, the Sun, slips on an unsteady aspect with spacey Neptune on Wednesday that can stir up clouds of confusion. Feelings can change quickly this weekend, as a playful Friday of fun and frolicking turns more serious on Saturday and Sunday. Avoid making any major decisions until your clarity returns. It’s probably best now to spend some quiet time alone or with one person who you trust completely.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The reason that often guides your life can go up in a puff of smoke this weekend. The jittery Gemini Moon turns Friday into a kaleidoscope of contrasting feelings and confusing plans. Logic may return on Sunday when your brainy planet Mercury enters calculating Capricorn to help you communicate more clearly. Just don’t let a sense of certainty allow you to come across so strongly that you sound like you aren’t interested in listening to others.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your hopeful nature may be challenged on Saturday when sweet Venus is stressed by manipulative Pluto. While this cosmic tension could bring some important relationship issues to the surface, it could also sow seeds of mistrust with someone you love. But if you’re single, this transit can awaken feelings of intense desire or inspire you to exaggerate your flaws. The situation, though, is less extreme than you think, so try not to overreact unnecessarily.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be seeking the comfort of familiar places and faces this weekend. Yet you might be surprised by unexpected reactions that can throw you off balance now. Instead of looking to the past for the security you crave, it’s wiser to search for different experiences and ideas to freshen up your personal life. Strange individuals or unfamiliar situations can be exciting when you maintain a healthy spirit of adventure.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon is traveling through your relationship houses this weekend, which is bound to energize your social life. Friday could be a blast with a lunar presence in lighthearted Gemini. However, the tone turns more serious on Saturday when feelings grow tender and complex issues in partnerships are exposed. Being gentle in the face of someone’s strong emotions helps you gain trust and can deepen your connection in the long run.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon enters your 7th House of Partners on Saturday, putting relationship issues on the front burner for the rest of the weekend. But this lunar transit is in subjective Cancer, which challenges you to push past reason to connect on an emotional level. Feelings can run the gamut from excitement to mistrust, which undercuts stability, yet you may be headed toward an emotional breakthrough triggered by the reflective Cancer Full Moon late Sunday night.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Thursday and Friday are great times for fun and games. The clever Gemini Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance puts more sparkle in your personality. It may be hard, however, for others to know whether you’re being serious or not. If you’re just teasing, it’s helpful to give some broad hints so that your behavior isn’t misinterpreted and you end up spending the rest of the weekend making amends.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be a little antsy this weekend since you can already anticipate the reflective Cancer Full Moon lighting up your 5th House of Romance very late on Sunday night. Friday may be festive and fun, but feelings grow stronger and more intense with the Moon slipping into caring Cancer on Saturday. Some emotional drama is possible, so give yourself and others a little slack for going over the top. Sometimes you have to go to extremes to discover your limits.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, January 1

The New Year gets off to a great start with the enthusiastic Aries Moon forming harmonious aspects to indulgent Venus and clever Mercury, while her square to the Sun motivates us to take action. A magical Venus-Mars connection indicates that love is in the air, yet it may be tricky to manifest it tangibly. Fortunately, a creative quintile between the Sun and serious Saturn enables us to find a way to use our skills in order to reach satisfaction.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to get started with the New Year because you believe it will be amazing. Happily, your confidence is likely warranted. You’re capable of accomplishing a lot today, but paradoxically, the harder you push, the longer everything takes. It doesn’t make sense to force your agenda onto anyone else; instead, relax a bit and let events unfold naturally. Time is on your side so there’s no need to be in a hurry now.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might wake up ready to conquer the world today as a wave of excitement washes over you. However, the rush passes quickly, leaving you with a more sensible outlook. Although you may have a concrete plan, it won’t help to overwhelm someone who resists your efforts. It’s smarter to turn the tables now and use your stubbornness to work in your favor. Your impatience will only provoke defensive reactions from others. Demonstrate your wisdom by focusing on your long-term strategy instead of wishing for immediate gratification.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You Twins are often of two minds, and today’s square between the spontaneous Aries Moon and the calculating Capricorn Sun is no exception. On one hand, you’re ready to swing into immediate action, fearing that you’ll miss an opportunity if you don’t do something right away. Meanwhile, you hear your inner voice cautioning you to wait for a more propitious time. Ultimately, your smartest strategy is to develop your plan more thoroughly first, and then give it your best shot.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Reacting in the moment is often a challenge for you cautious crustaceans unless you’re feeling extremely secure. A blast of excitement today can be quite invigorating, but it also raises concerns if you aren’t sure what to do next. Thankfully, a bit of planning helps you to sustain your energy once you come down from the adrenaline rush. Keep in mind that nurturing connections with friends and family is just as important now as demonstrating your productivity.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be able to dazzle others with your song and dance, your presentation might lack real substance today. Your fun-loving approach disarms others, eliminating their resistance. Even an adversary won’t be able to resist your charm in the long run because your subtle tenacity is relentless. Talking up a storm is fine; just remember to slow down and listen when following your heart’s desires.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s too easy for you to see the imperfections of someone else’s plan but not your own. Be careful, for your acute analysis and criticism won’t likely work in your favor now. In fact, you might inadvertently push an ally farther away if you say too much or come on too strong. Patience is your friend today; take lots of small steps when you’re ready instead of forcing one giant leap before it’s time.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are in a cosmic game of tug-of-war as competitive friends try to get you to see things differently. However, playful give-and-take could suddenly turn more serious. Thankfully, there isn’t really a need for animosity, even if there is underlying tension today. But you’re more interested in making love, not war. Although there may not be any romance involved, focus on creating common ground and the harmonious atmosphere will soon return.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your decisive actions demonstrate one story while your unexpressed desires tell a different tale. It looks like you’re fully engaged in a social setting today, yet you can also be very productive if left to your own devices. Nevertheless, you’re yearning for an entirely different experience, even if you’re not yet ready to share your visions. Remember, there is no hurry, so keep your dreams quiet until they’re solid enough to talk about with someone you trust.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today is filled with fun and games as the feisty Aries Moon activates your 5th House of Play. Luckily, showing your good-natured personality to everyone helps you build the support you need. Doing too much planning brings diminishing returns, so just live in the power of now and make it up as you go along. If you maintain a joyful attitude, pleasurable rewards should follow.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your current excitability may not guarantee fun, but if you can be a little less practical today, you should be able to manage your emotions. However, avoiding your feelings won’t work now, for they will return with increased power. Take time to separate your personal goals from your career objectives so you can gain clarity on both. Remember, it’s easier to be ambitious when you’re involved with something that you love.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel as if satisfaction is within your reach today, and happily, you could be right. However, too much impatience can turn a pleasant social scenario into a mess. Logically, you know that you should be able to get what you want right away. Unfortunately, everything is going to take longer than you expect. As long you keep an eye on your goal, you should continue to make progress. Don’t be discouraged; instead, maintain a cheerful attitude or you could jeopardize the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re all fired up and could be quite productive at home once you put your mind toward getting things done. Sometimes you excel at avoiding the details of a project, yet now you’re able to maintain a high level of concentration. Apply yourself in the present moment, without being overly concerned about the unknown territory around the next corner.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 31st

The year 2011 is now going to end – not with a whimper, but more likely a bang. The reasons are numerous. First of all, yesterday’s void lunar adventure in watery Pisces ends at 1:49AM PST this morning when the Moon enters fiery, assertive Aries. Thus, this last day of the year carries the essence of independent, forceful Ram-vibrations. Meanwhile, the Moon quickly unites with Uranus (3:29AM PST) – the radical-change agent planet that also stimulates liberation movements, one of the major themes around the globe during the past 12 months. Emotional storms as well as some partnership upheavals can coincide with a Juno-Pluto 45-degree connection (5:30AM PST). Later on, the best alignment today occurs when Mercury in Sagittarius forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Chiron in Pisces (5:16PM PST). Hang on to these healing, revelatory and soulful energies as you may need them during the remaining evening hours. The key challenges tonight – which could short-circuit vital communications and coincide with some psychic meltdowns – come from Mercury squares Mars (10:07PM PST) shortly before the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives (activating 11 degrees of Capricorn and Aries at 10:16PM PST). Realize that a quarter-moon vibration is a square aspect of 90-degrees from Sun to Moon – when you primarily need to cut through obstacles blocking your path. Therefore, this year ends with Mercury-Mars and Sun-Moon squares – both of which are waxing in intensity or increasing in light. There is a clear message here that humanity needs to understand the esoteric message of experiencing Harmony through Conflict – the keynote of one of the seven rays associated with the seven colors of the rainbow linking heaven to earth. When you are making New Year’s resolutions, keep in mind that the first day of 2012 actually carries a much more buoyant and optimistic tone than the last 24-hour time-period of 2011.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, December 31st

We react swiftly to whatever is happening in our lives when the Moon blasts into headstrong Aries at 4:48 am EST. We’re so excited that our emotions may flare as the Moon joins explosive Uranus. Nevertheless, it’s difficult to sustain our initial enthusiasm, especially when the Moon runs into a troublesome square with suspicious Pluto later in the day. Managing our anger should help prevent an argument when chatty Mercury squares Pluto tonight.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to rush into a new situation without a lot of forethought when the Moon returns to your impetuous sign this morning. Unfortunately, your impulsive behavior may arouse a strong reaction from a friend or acquaintance. It’s wise to wait until tomorrow to see how you feel rather than starting something now you could quickly regret. If your idea still seems like a smart one, then it makes sense to proceed full steam ahead.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are easily annoyed by your own impatience because you’re uncertain if starting a new project now is such a good idea. You might even try to talk yourself out of doing anything today, but this behavior could add to your frustration. Ultimately, you know that it’s wiser to listen to logic and tie up loose ends before doing anything else. However, if you blindly push ahead you’re likely to run into strong resistance.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Finally, you’re ready to look ahead instead of reviewing your recent past. Nevertheless, there are formidable obstacles that must be overcome before you’re able to put your new plans into action. Attempts to avoid the source of the current friction are futile. Denial only strengthens the resistance, for the problem will resurface later with greater intensity. Slow down and face the music. You’ll be more prepared to step into your future once you learn a valuable lesson.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Relationship issues may be stressful now, creating conflict with the demands of your work. You might feel as if you’re caught in the crosscurrents and that you will let someone down, no matter which path you choose. However, there is another way through this obstacle course. Balancing your professional and personal lives isn’t easy, but setting up a situation that avoids creating winners and losers is your best bet.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your confidence soars today, especially if you are excited about the future. Unfortunately, your plans are complicated by unstable circumstances and people who may not support your needs now. Don’t place too much value on getting assistance from anyone else. Nevertheless, openly accept help when it’s offered, even if you believe that you can do it alone. Learning to receive from others might not be comfortable at first, but revealing your vulnerability can deepen an important relationship.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

All of your relationships could seem complicated these days and you might choose to avoid interpersonal entanglements as much as you can. Sharing your feelings may not sound safe now, but the emotional roller coaster should start to smooth out in the next day or so. Meanwhile, you may be more dependent on others than you are willing to admit. Acknowledge your desires without making anyone else responsible for your satisfaction. Your radical honesty could defuse a tricky situation.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s annoying if someone makes a promise and then doesn’t follow through by delivering the goods. It’s not as if you coerced anyone into doing something for you; chances are others just arrive out of the blue and offer to help. Nevertheless, it’s never a good idea to become overly dependent on anyone else. Even if you are left in the lurch, just get on with your original plans without wasting time playing the blame game.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You want to demonstrate your competence and your loyalty by shining at what you do today. However, you may not be able to get rid of a bad feeling that you’re being judged by someone who doesn’t really appreciate your efforts. You are now being challenged to overcome resistance: yours or someone else’s. Either way, sidestepping the real issues can feel like defeat. Fortunately, you’ll be proud of yourself if you stand your ground and just do the best you can.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today starts off with a bang and the energy builds right through your evening celebrations. Although you can feel a burst of creativity early on, you might get irritated with someone who tries to hijack your day with their agenda. But you’re not interested in playing it safe and avoiding confrontation; it could feel exhilarating to push back and defend your territory. Just remember, there may be a price to pay for alienating an ally. Practicing the art of compromise now isn’t easy, but should have a positive effect.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be struggling to balance your naturally conservative approach with an urgent desire to throw caution to the wind. If you have been invited to a party that’s outside your normal social group, you might look forward to your chance to have a different kind of experience. On the other hand, you don’t want to abandon your friends. Ultimately, your choice may not be as significant as you think it will be, as long as you take responsibility for whatever you decide.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may try to make it through the day without causing too much trouble, but once you get going you could raise a few eyebrows. You want to experience life to the fullest now, and could pack so much into each moment that others grow tired just listening to your plans. Remember, you’re riding an adrenaline high today, so be cautious. Even you might not be able to keep up with your crazy schedule.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if you’re encountering persistent resistance from your friends, continue pushing toward your goals. You may have your own idea about how you want to welcome in the New Year, but others may pressure you to change your mind. Unfortunately, there will be no winners in a power struggle today. Ultimately, fulfilling your fantasies now might not be as important as you think. As long as your intentions are pure, you should be able to balance your individual needs with the desires of those closest to you.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 30th

It may feel as if the year is ending today rather than tomorrow because the imaginative Pisces Moon coaxes us out of the real world and into our dreams. The Moon’s creative square to mental Mercury allows us to bend the facts based upon our needs while her tense opposition to feisty Mars increases our impatience. Meanwhile, an eccentric Mercury-Uranus alignment fills our fantasies with unconventional ideas that encourage us toward radical action.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You probably have a clear set of objectives and understand why it’s important to tie up loose ends today. However, your mind is on everything except work because you’re eager for the weekend to begin. The Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Escapism opposes action-hero Mars in your 6th House of Employment, enticing you to find ways to avoid doing much of anything. Unfortunately, you’ll pay the price for procrastinating, so bite the bullet and get your chores done before it’s too late.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in a creative mood today, but you might not have time for artistic pursuits. Responsibilities at work have piled up or there are chores yet to finish at home. Nevertheless, a bit of concentrated effort can go a long way now if you don’t allow yourself to be distracted by everything interesting thing that comes to your attention. Narrow your focus so you have time to explore playful self-expression later in the day.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be uncertain about what you need to do in order to live up to other people’s expectations. For example, your boss might give you unclear directions and then be unavailable to answer your questions. Or, you might have previous obligations that distract you from a current assignment. In any case, accepting the impossibility of pleasing everyone frees you to simply do the best you can and then let go until the confusion clears.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your head is filled with such big ideas now that it’s unrealistic to make any of them come true. Even if you create a prioritized list of things to do, your wandering mind scatters your thoughts and actions. Instead of biting off more that you can chew, use the day to review the previous year and think about the next one. Don’t judge yourself harshly if you aren’t very productive today. Some days are just meant for dreaming.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to stretch your boundaries today by talking about your feelings with someone special. However, your words may seem vague, even if you have very specific things you want to say. Ironically, using fewer words helps you to be more concise in your thinking. Save the long rambling conversations for another day; instead, let your actions speak for you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be stressed out by someone close to you because you cannot figure out what he or she wants. Even if you’re asked for something very specific, you could be confused when you deliver the goods only to have your partner or friend tell you that you got it wrong. You might begin to think that you’re in a no-win situation, but your frustration is temporary. Thankfully, you’re able to change the dynamics when you stop trying so hard and just treat your loved ones with kindness.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have high hopes for improving your daily health regimen now and may try to put your goals into the form of resolutions for the New Year. However, the dreamy Pisces Moon in your 6th House of Details makes it hard to put your desires into an executable plan. Instead of writing a list of vague generalities based upon unrealistic goals, be specific as possible. It’s better to have two or three concrete items than lots of good ideas that remain unrealized.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you might talk about how you’re going to increase your income or change your spending habits, your actions today don’t necessarily support your goals. You may be tempted to spend money on something for the sheer enjoyment of it. Unfortunately, you could become self-critical very quickly, preventing you from having the pleasurable experience you expected. Cut yourself some slack so you can have a little well-earned fun.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you continue to apply yourself toward specific professional goals, you might choose to leave work early today. You’re tempted to retreat into the hidden recesses of your own mind and leave some responsibilities unfulfilled. Instead of participating in social activities later on, consider staying home and escaping by watching a movie, playing video games or reading a book.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This can be a good planning day as long as you remember to pay attention to the details. You’re tempted to dream big, while still understanding the need to maintain a practical outlook on your future. Even if you are thinking about taking a vacation to an exotic location, you’re able to keep yourself on track and within your budget. Research your options, take good notes, and don’t be afraid to do something you have never done before.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends and associates can be a source of good times today, but participating in social activities might end up costing you more than expected. It’s not that you’re stingy; it’s just than you would prefer to know in advance how much something will cost. Although you may want to blame others for misleading you, your eagerness to be involved might have inhibited you from asking too many questions up front. Let go of any resentment; for now, just enjoy yourself while you can.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It seems as if others are picking on you today for no reason at all. But the hypersensitive Pisces Moon is opposite Mars in critical Virgo, suggesting that you are more vulnerable now than usual. Don’t assume that everyone is on your case just because you’re feeling insecure. You could miss out on some very good advice if you’re afraid of hearing the truth.

Feelings may be soft and tender on Friday with the Moon in surreal Pisces. This whimsical lunar transit is excellent for romantic escapes where practical matters and responsibilities give way to dreams and fantasies. Movies and music are wonderful for tapping into the soulful emotions embodied by this tender lunar placement. Gently going with the flow without overt ambition creates an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion that engenders trust and affection.

Feelings of safety and the soft edges of imagination are burnt off with a lunar shift into fiery Aries on Saturday morning. The call for immediate action is shouted out with a verbally assertive square between communicative Mercury and forceful Mars. Channeling some of this mental heat into games redirects competitive instincts in a socially acceptable direction. Wit and humor can be delicious by-products of this spicy planetary pair, but sharp words cut deeply if we don’t measure them carefully. This New Year’s Eve is more likely to spur loud talk and raucous behavior rather than the sentimental sounds of “Auld Lang Syne.” Slow down to avoid dangerous actions or incendiary speech.

Sunday may be slightly mellower even though there’s still a dash of impatience present with the impetuous Aries Moon ringing in the New Year.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Dec. 30th

Learn to roll with the psychic punches as the Moon parallels Uranus (12:05AM PST) while the Moon in Pisces squares Mercury in Sagittarius (1:41AM PST) and the Moon opposes Mars (5:39AM PST). These three aspects may not be the most important ones in the astrological deck, but as a trio, they can shake up the status-quo this morning. In addition, the Moon-Mars polarity starts a fairly long void lunar cycle that lasts until 1:49AM PST tomorrow when the Moon will enter fiery Aries. Therefore, most of today’s activities take place with a Moon in uncertain terrain and meandering in the last sign of the zodiac. This can be helpful if you want to retreat from the maddening crowd and restore your soul-personality alliance via meditation and reflection. Productivity across the board can still rise – thanks to the monthly Moon-Ceres union at 2:31PM PST. This lunar rapport with the largest asteroid doubles as a support for changing your diet along better nutritional lines. Be more nurturing to maternal figures, children and pets in your family circle. Get extra rest tonight as the last day of 2011 appears to be a humdinger and not of the most exalted kind.
