Your Daily Horoscopes for December 29th

We are forced into the shadows of unknown territory as the Sun conjuncts regenerative Pluto, establishing a powerful tone for today. Magically, the most profound changes, such as a caterpillar’s mysterious metamorphosis into a butterfly, occur hidden in the dark. The imaginative Pisces Moon forms a supportive sextile to Pluto and the Sun, further intensifying our feelings. Meanwhile, otherworldly septiles remind us of how much we don’t know.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s difficult to relax now because you’re likely to push up against deep resistance to change. Although you’re quick to blame others for your frustration, it originates within you. You might bury your head in the sand and pretend that you cannot understand what’s happening, but denial won’t solve anything. Instead, confront your fears so you can get to the source of your own psychological melodrama. Awareness is the first step in making positive change.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your fantasies may take you for an intense trip through your fears today, yet you could come out the other side with a much more positive perspective. Still, this isn’t a light and easy journey, because there aren’t any guarantees that your current transformation will succeed. However, it’s not important to overcome all the negativity at once. Take time to assess your strengths and weaknesses so you can prepare for the future with a realistic outlook.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re more eager than usual to explore what’s beneath the surface in your attempt to understand your feelings now. The most meaningful emotional treasures are hidden deep under the veneer of social etiquette. However, you may become so fixated on the potential rewards that you push too hard. Unfortunately, your obsessive behavior today could upset a relationship. Take time to moderate your need for change with sufficient patience to allow the current situation to transform at a natural pace.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel as if you’re giving birth to a whole new way of relating to others now, but this change comes with its own share of stress. In order to reinvent yourself you must confront someone’s control issues, especially if you are growing in ways that appear to threaten the status quo. On the other hand, you might be the one who is stuck, and you don’t appreciate anyone meddling in your affairs. However, there’s no need to hold on to the past now; it’s slipping away from you whether you like it or not.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re ready to go ahead with your plans now, even if you’re receiving mixed signals from everyone else involved. However, it isn’t a good strategy to push your agenda onto anyone else. Instead of progressing toward your goals, you could inadvertently agitate unnecessary emotional conflict. Just keep in mind that you may need to proceed on your own if your friends and acquaintances don’t understand your current passion.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re so concerned with making everything perfect now that you tend to plan more than is necessary. Unfortunately, placing too much attention on the details can spoil the fun by taking the spontaneity out of the day. Avoid getting swept into an unnecessary power struggle just because you believe that your way is the only way. Lessen the pressure on the current circumstances by consciously choosing acceptance over fear.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone’s unspoken feelings can mess things up today, even if it seems safer in order to avoid conflict. Unfortunately, the hidden cost of peace may be higher than you realize since jealousy or possessiveness can stir anger and resentment. The potentially negative energy is tricky to control because sharing can be as problematic as keeping everything to yourself. It’s healthy to talk about what’s happening, but don’t get so intense that you push others away.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be feeling overwhelmed with how many things you have to do now, but your intensity level is high and you’re committed to do whatever it takes to cross some tasks off your list. Unfortunately, you might disagree with someone who has a different idea of how you should spend your day. Actually, a willful Sun-Pluto conjunction can turn every interaction into a major drama today. Processing your emotions before you react enables you to control the flow of events.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are determined to get what you want today, but it’s wise to recognize that acting in harmony with your core values is more important than material satisfaction. You might reconsider a recent decision and want to modify your course of action, but this can be complicated if you’re already in motion. There’s no need to panic, so allow sufficient time to alter your plans. Keep in mind that you didn’t get to this point overnight, and you won’t be able to change direction in a moment’s notice.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are susceptible to the emotional intensity of today’s Sun-Pluto hook-up because it occurs in your sign. Even the most minor issues can be quickly blown out of proportion as tempers flare and passions erupt. You might become obsessed about having your way now, and you’re not willing to take no for an answer. Unfortunately, you could invite stronger resistance if you are too assertive. Being gentle and persistent is more effective than forcing your point of view on anyone else.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might think that you’ll accomplish more today by sticking to your schedule, but it’s very important to remain flexible with your time. Your enthusiasm may be dampened if unforeseen events in the morning require you to abandon your previous plans. Making commitments in advance is a smart strategy as long as you know when to let go of control. Don’t struggle trying to hold your agenda together; instead, let it fall apart so you can put the pieces back together tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your dreams about the future are quite intense now, bringing excitement one minute and worry the next. You’re beginning to realize that your plans are not unfolding as expected. But rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, try to see this as an opportunity to reinvent yourself according to your vision and not someone else’s. Let go of past goals that are no longer meaningful. Instead, get ready to step into the year ahead by setting new priorities for your life.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 29th

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that last night’s conjunctions are gone and forgotten. As a matter of fact, they are very strong – particularly the extremist, brooding and underground nature of the annual Sun-Pluto merger in Capricorn. Add on this morning’s Venus-Pluto parallel (3:06AM PST) and it is clear that stormy conditions can rock anyone’s boat – emotionally, romantically and financially. Fortunately, the Moon in Pisces forms a supportive, 60-degree link to the Sun in Capricorn (5:57AM PST) just a few hours before a mystically-charged, 72-degree contact occurs between Mercury and Neptune (8:58AM PST). The Sun-Moon and Mercury-Neptune liaisons go a long way to neutralize some of the tensions associated with the Sun-Pluto and Venus-Pluto interactions. Try your hand at writing rhyme poetry, haiku or limericks. Help people truly down on their luck under the compassionate aegis of Pisces Moon. Photography, music and dance may cure you of the blues as Pallas makes a frictional, 45-degree link to shock-master Uranus (9:56PM PST) while a couple of challenging sky patterns are waiting in the wings early on Friday to test your resolve and stamina.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 28th

We may try to be rational today, but logic gives way to fantasy. Smart Mercury aspects boundless Jupiter, stretching our thoughts beyond normal limits. Although the intelligent Aquarius Moon’s trine to realistic Saturn brings temporary stability, her conjunction with mystical Neptune invites unexplainable magic into our lives. Additionally, the Moon’s entry into psychic Pisces at 6:45 pm EST encourages us to rely on intuition instead of analysis.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It might seem as if you keep saying the wrong things today, even if your intentions are pure. You might try so hard that you lose your rhythm, yet you may not be aware that you’re out of step. Instead of spending too much time clarifying what you meant, rely on your actions, rather than your words, to get your message across. You can always revisit the issue tomorrow and explain yourself when you’re back in sync.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your notion that everything will go your way at work is not just a wish, since your assumptions are based on facts and your conclusions are the result of sound thinking. Nevertheless, you can still dream up a perfect fantasy based on how you want things to unfold, so pay careful attention to how you embellish the truth. Luckily, you needn’t mislead anyone if you can catch yourself in the process before it’s too late.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury runs into an anxious alignment with exaggerating Jupiter, provoking you to stretch the truth. You might even believe that you’re clever enough to get away with bending the facts. But you’ll still have to deal with the consequences of what you say if others see through your story. Ultimately, you would be wiser to present your position as methodically as possible, without trying to step around any annoying facts. Being clear about your intentions right from the start prevents problems in the future.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although your super-sensitivity can occasionally get the best of you, it’s possible to adjust your attitude as needed instead of blindly sticking to a rigid agenda. It helps to check in with your friends and co-workers to learn what they think before jumping to any premature conclusions. Once you incorporate valid feedback into your strategy, you’ll be better equipped to go ahead with your plans for the day.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are aware of the hard work ahead, but you’re not all that eager to jump in yet. Part of the problem is that you don’t have a manageable plan because it feels as if the current situation isn’t very stable. It’s not necessary to make long-term decisions now; instead, focus on the immediate activities and do anything you can to positively impact the present circumstances.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your confidence returns today as your key planet Mercury aligns with optimistic Jupiter. Nevertheless, you’re still acting cautiously because you don’t want to be disappointed later on. You have faith in your analytical capabilities, but you may not know how to balance a realistic outlook with unrealistic dreams. Don’t look to others for cues; instead, pay attention to your thoughts and avoid overreacting in either direction.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You like the idea of demonstrating the power of positive thinking, but you could take your enthusiasm to an extreme. Unfortunately, you could set yourself up for discouragement today if you try to reach too far. Letting go of unattainable goals is your first step toward restoring balance. Establishing a line between humility and self-confidence can be tricky business. Re-evaluating your strengths and weaknesses helps you be more realistic about manifesting your dreams.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re not overly thrilled with your plans for the future, but you’re capable of balancing your fantasies with the reality of your current situation. Even if you’re tempted to escape into your own illusions, you don’t have to lose track of where you’re standing now and where you want to go. Ironically, staying connected with the bigger picture will ultimately make navigation in the present moment easier to handle.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are being lured into a dreamy world of illusions today, but the strength of your convictions is strong enough to keep you grounded. You may suddenly realize that you don’t have as many answers as you once thought you had, but this epiphany can work to your benefit. Don’t let go of your core beliefs; instead, use them as a moral compass to help you to find your way through these confusing times.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This season is a time of renewal for you, symbolized by the return of the Sun’s light. There’s no need to fear that setting your goals too high will set you up for failure, because you have to be challenged in order to shine your brightest. Nevertheless, your judgment might not be as infallible now as it usually is, so make sure you’re heading in the right direction before you go too far.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could get caught up in a complex web of emotions today that feels more urgent than it actually is. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to walk away from the intensity and difficult to de-emphasize it. Thankfully, there is a simple solution; just avoid making significant decisions at this time. The drama will subside in a couple of days, allowing everything to resume its normal place in your life. Wait and see how you feel before making any major moves.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your long-term goals may be totally unrealistic now, making it exceptionally difficult to turn your strategy into a concrete plan. You’re able to be hold on to your dreams as long as you don’t commit to a single path. But once you start focusing on what to do next, you’re confronted by the impracticality of your desires. Rather than losing yourself in an illusory world, use some common sense along the way. Paying attention to reality prevents an unexpected crash landing later on.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 28th

Mercury forming a supportive, 60-degree tie to Pallas (3:29AM PST) keeps those exalted, innovative Pallas vibes going full blast in the early hours. You can be a problem-solver extraordinaire. However, Mercury moves on to make a more abrasive, 135-degree tie to giant Jupiter (5:29AM PST). This challenging alignment – along with a Sun-Juno 45-degree clash (4:13AM PST) and Moon-Saturn parallel (6:18AM PST) – indicates that some psychic thunderstorms concerning communications, travel plans and educational interests may interfere with your forward progress this morning. Later on, inspirations abound during the monthly Moon-Neptune union in Aquarius (1:32PM PST). Any lunar conjunction with far-out Neptune can result in your receiving mind-blowing realizations that can literally change your consciousness forever. On the other hand, this Moon-Neptune merger also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 3:46PM PST when the Moon dives into the mysterious waters of Pisces. Once the alchemical shift of the Moon from air to water takes place, the Moon makes its monthly communion with healing-maestro Chiron (7:06PM PST) just a few hours before the Moon joins forces with soul-sister Vesta (10:48PM PST) and the Sun makes its annual union with underworld-ruling Pluto in Capricorn (11:44PM PST). This is quite an evening – with spiritual, investment and willpower vibrations at white-hot intensity. The lunar links to Chiron and Vesta are much more tender and sensitive than the single-minded, intense Sun-Pluto contact. Stay on alert throughout the night and into early Thursday to make sure loved ones are protected and that your words and deeds are of the highest caliber.

Your Daily Number for December 27th: 1

You may have a tendency to be a bit hard-headed and stubborn today; caution yourself against engaging in domestic squabbles. You have all the self confidence you need at your disposal. Much to your delight, others won’t hesitate to show you their support.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, December 27th

We are eager to express our thoughts because information flows more freely now that quicksilver Mercury has regained its normal speed since its recent retrograde. Additionally, mental Mercury joins the karmic North Node of the Moon, deepening current conversations by connecting them to important issues from our past. The Moon’s supportive sextile to Mercury elevates the importance of subjective emotions and encourages us to share our feelings.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you might bump into resistance when sharing your plan today, your thoughts could be so intense that you end up revealing more than is necessary. It’s not that your ideas are too controversial to talk about; it’s just that you would be better off taking more time to develop them before involving others. Fortunately, waiting until you’re ready will improve the chances of getting others to support your plan.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your good intentions should carry you far today, but reaching for the stars isn’t enough to ensure that you’ll get there. You are eager to meet your obligations, but things could get complicated if you ignore important details. Don’t just push your way forward without a sound plan; paying careful attention to how all the little pieces fit together enables you to accomplish more than you expect.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your enthusiasm can fuel a conversation today, enabling it to go off in many exciting directions. You are eager to participate in dialogues that explore the possibilities before you, but it will take more than dynamic interactions to make the best ideas take shape. In fact, too much talking might be a tricky way to avoid the reality of how much work you must do. Don’t let your overactive mind hijack your day; manage your obligations so you have time for physical activities, too.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t sure of how much you need to divulge today because you don’t want to scare off your best allies. Although your story could be compelling, it may be too intense for some of your colleagues to handle. Don’t just make a one-size-fits-all announcement; instead interact with each person on a one-to-one basis. It’s more sensible not to say any more than what is necessary. Be cautious and save the full disclosure for when you’re sure that the time is right.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Someone can teach you something very important now, yet it’s challenging to let the message come through if you believe you already have the answers you need. You could miss an opportunity to make a breakthrough in a relationship if you’re unwilling to be vulnerable. Fortunately, today’s lesson will likely be gift-wrapped and sugar coated because the Moon joins sweet Venus in your 7th House of Others. If you become aware of your own resistance, consciously soften your stance when engaged in a conversation.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ruling planet Mercury is in the spotlight today, prompting opinionated interactions with colleagues. A relationship that has been limited to the workplace may cross over the line and begin to transform into a real friendship. Don’t put up artificial barriers; just allow the conversation to flow naturally and deal with any emotional issues as they arise.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s not easy to express yourself spontaneously today, especially if your role at work requires you to keep your personal feelings to yourself. Fortunately, you may discover that you can share your inner process with an acquaintance, but you need to be selective or you’ll end up wishing that you didn’t say anything at all. Don’t expect too much at first or you’ll be discouraged. If you are committed to sharing what’s in your heart, things should get better once your workday is done.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be feeling very private today about your future plans, so it’s wise to keep thinking about what you want to do before sharing your thoughts with anyone else. It isn’t that you’re afraid of what someone might say; it’s just that you still need time to contemplate until you know how you truly feel. Don’t allow others to talk you into disclosing anything before you’re ready.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be too eager to adjust your schedule if something comes up that seems important. However, canceling an existing appointment at the last minute could create problems, rather than solve them. It’s not wise to act impulsively if your decision involves others. Before you decide on a new course of action, consider the impact your behavior will have on everyone else. If it still seems urgent, go ahead with the necessary changes.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be unclear about your current financial picture, which could lead you to make a bad decision today. You might have made a mistake while calculating an account balance or, perhaps, underestimated the cost of a large purchase. Confront the issue promptly by getting all your facts straight first. It doesn’t matter if a money problem is big or small; it will be more difficult to handle if you don’t take care of it now.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have an exciting vision that you want to share with your co-workers or friends today. You assume they will hear you out and support you as you strive to fulfill your dreams. However, it’s important to realize that your current disclosure needs to be an all-or-nothing one; you won’t be able to get away with sharing only part of your idea. There’s no room for secrets now, so make sure you have all the data necessary to tell your whole story.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your enthusiasm about your career can be quite contagious today, but you could alienate others if you get too carried away by all the possibilities. Thankfully, your clear communication is able to bring out the best in others now. However, there’s a fine line between the power of positive thought and the danger of blind optimism. Tempering your rosy outlook with realism should be enough to prevent problems in the next few days.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 27th

Very little stands in your way of success right now. A Venus-Ceres 45-degree skirmish (6:49AM PST) and Moon-Neptune parallel (9:29AM PST) can bring in some consternation temporarily regarding your productivity in arts, crafts, hobbies and your fields of expertise, but these two alignments are not the primary sky patterns during this 24-hour time-period. The main event is the monthly Moon-Pallas union in Aquarius (12:13PM PST) that receives a gentle boost about an hour before-hand when the Moon forms a communication-enhancing and supportive, 60-degree alliance with Mercury (11:02AM PST). The Moon with Pallas is definitely a wonderful opportunity to energize your skills as a problem-solver, strategist and researcher. Pallas is also associated with engineering, city planning, software programming, needlepoint, weaving, the genetic code, DNA and the immune system. Learn more about herbs and health foods that help you build a strong defense against fatigue and illness. Mercury approaches a 60-degree rapport with Pallas overnight and this keeps the high-level, ingenious Pallas themes very prominent in the psychic atmosphere.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 26th

Creating harmony in relationships, both new and old, can be difficult in this last week of 2011. Amorous Venus in freedom-loving Aquarius wants to experiment while passionate Mars in practical Virgo prefers to stick to familiar patterns. Flexibility is needed to maintain peace and end the year on a happy note.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Rest up on Friday night while the Moon is visiting your sleepy 12th house, because it’s firing into your sign early on Saturday morning and turning up the heat in your personal life. You’re hungry for new experiences and are not likely to be thrilled by a traditional and totally predictable New Year’s Eve. Do your best to avoid pushing reluctant individuals to make changes, because they might push back even harder. A less aggressive approach allows others to compromise and meet you halfway.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Friends can warm your heart on Thursday and Friday with the sweet and tender Pisces Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups. But you may either be too tired, shy or disinterested to be a hardy partier during the rest of the weekend. A lunar transit in your ultra-private 12th house could have you sitting on the sidelines, or you may simply decide that quiet time with a few trusted people is the best way to ring in the New Year.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Fast talking is fun this weekend, but there’s a risk of rubbing someone the wrong way on Saturday night. Your chatty planet Mercury crashes into a stressful square with combative Mars, which can turn a minor difference of perspective into a major fight. If you’re irritated or impatient, take a break and consider whether you want to argue about a petty detail that can make the night memorable in the wrong way. Your best move might be to smile and shake it off or, if that’s not possible, simply walk away.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You can cuddle up in the comfort of sweet feelings on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday with the Moon swimming in sister Water sign Pisces. But the mood and tempo change on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into impetuous Aries. If you’re ready for a raucous time, you will love the high intensity atmosphere. But if you don’t like to be rushed in the pursuit of pleasure, seek out the company of quieter folks who are happy to slip away to someplace more private.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon rockets into rambunctious Aries on Saturday to put some passion into your weekend. You’re looking for a lively partner and exciting experiences to ring in the new year. Sticking to the usual routine is not likely to be your idea of fun, so make this a time to experiment. Just don’t let unnecessary impatience, a petty disagreement or elaborate plans dowse the fires of discovery that are driving you. Maintaining your generosity of spirit and wicked sense of humor enables you to shine as the life of the party.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Relationships might be especially complicated this week. The Moon’s presence in peaceful Pisces and your 7th House of Partners brings some tender moments and spurs romantic dreams on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday. But then a lunar transit into impatient Aries and your 8th House of Deep Sharing on Saturday morning can detonate some emotional bombs. This could be amazing if you’re ready for passion, yet it requires your willingness to take risks to fully enjoy it.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Things are heating up just in time to celebrate the New Year. The mood-setting Moon enters fiery Aries and your 7th House of Partners on Saturday morning to provoke excitement and increase your readiness for new experiences. It helps to have a dynamic partner who is ready for anything to join you in riding this rising wave of passion. Whether you’re into it for one night or for eternity, there are few limits to how far you’re willing to go. Have fun exploring new territory, but don’t get too close to the edge.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could have a delicious time this week with the imaginative Pisces Moon’s visit to your 5th House of Romance on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday. It seems like you can turn fantasies into reality, giving you the surreal feeling that you’re starring in a movie. Promises made and expectations raised encounter a stiff dose of reality starting on Saturday morning. If you’re disappointed over the weekend, don’t allow it to lead to a petty fight. It’s wiser to let go and head in a new direction than to get dragged into a conflict where no one wins.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon blazes into incendiary Aries on Saturday morning to raise your emotional temperature for the weekend. This lunar transit could ignite instant fires of passion in your 5th House of Romance. Falling in love with someone new can happen in an instant, but your need for fresh experiences might put some pressure on an ongoing relationship. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner or friends, incorporating elements of surprise could do the trick. Work your magic and create some new rituals for the New Year that everyone will enjoy.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Entertaining within your comfort zone might be your best bet for New Year’s Eve while the independent Aries Moon visits your 4th House of Roots. Whether this means celebrating with old pals at your favorite watering hole or having people party at your house, it’s important that you feel comfortable. If you’ve been the host in the past, try making the event a little different this year by adding some surprising elements. In fact, a quiet evening alone enjoying some rest and relaxation might sound like the best idea of all.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Don’t let your head get in the way of your heart this weekend. Although this is a time to cut loose and have fun, your analytical mind could get stuck on a subject that becomes contentious. Word games are fun and you enjoy playfully sparring with clever people. Just be smart enough to notice when you or someone else is getting close to the edge of discomfort. Your “live and let live” attitude is an antidote to this potential for conflict. However, a bit of sensitivity keeps the emphasis on fun.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might want to celebrate the New Year early with the Moon’s presence in your magical sign on Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday. Your emotions may be strong, but your compassion and imagination make this a special time. A lunar shift into impulsive Aries on Saturday intensifies the rest of the weekend with an edge of excitement and a sense of danger in the air. Unless you’re in a risk-taking mood, seek out the safety net of reliable people and predictable places to find your fun.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Dec. 26th

This could be a slow day getting started business-wise – if you are working. The reason is that Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Saturn (5:03AM PST) just before the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Libra (5:37AM PST). Therefore, two challenging aspects counter the urge to make a forward dash into the sunlight. In addition, the Moon-Saturn square starts a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 9:15AM PST when the Moon enters service-oriented Aquarius. It’s okay to finish old business during the void time-period, but once the Moon is in Aquarius, put more emphasis on volunteer efforts, charity drives and joining international movements that tug at your heart-strings. Group projects, team sports and community activities are prime areas for your involvement between now and Wednesday morning. Check out the latest high-tech gizmos, apps and software programs as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Uranus (10:35AM PST). Consider having an impromptu party or gathering at your place tonight – coinciding with the monthly Moon-Venus union in Aquarius (11:34PM PST). Express your creativity in the fine and graphic arts for a change of pace. If you are in the mood for romance, then set sail for exotic ports of call with a like-minded partner

New Moon Report for December 20th – Venus in Aquarius

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

 

Venus in Aquarius

Tuesday, December 20, 10:26 am PST, 1:26 pm EST

The love planet’s entry into cool but friendly Aquarius is ideal for those who need freedom and are easily bored with social convention. Venus’ presence in this independent air sign indicates that relationships will blossom when there is more room for individual expression and romantic experimentation. Cooperation within groups, especially those with idealistic intentions, should be enhanced by this transit. Fresh approaches to appearance, pleasure and partnerships will make life more enjoyable than sticking to outmoded traditions.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, December 19th

We have work to do on the relationship front today, and the socially astute Libra Moon reminds us that objectivity is preferable to an overly emotional approach. Although we still may be feeling isolated from a loved one, the Sun’s cooperative sextile with austere Saturn reminds us that healthy boundaries are necessary for survival. We are likely to take life quite seriously, but we’re quite comfortable now that self-discipline comes more easily.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that someone’s blocking your path to happiness today, but this point of view could be your way to avoid taking responsibility. Don’t place blame on others; instead, look within to gain understanding about your causal role in the present situation. Ironically, altering your own attitude might be the most sensible way to improve your current circumstances.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might think that you don’t have many options today. Fortunately, your willingness to work within the restraints of the current situation makes your life easier until you can figure out how to make some changes. You may be patient, but you won’t be able to continue holding out for too long. There’s no need to give up your power now and just accept the status quo; instead, take a risk if you are sure that you know what you want.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be tempted to play today, but you won’t likely be able to take time off for fun. You are driven to keep your guard up now as you’re pulled from one unstable demanding situation to the next, without much time in between. Thankfully, you still can have a stabilizing impact on others if you set your personal desires aside so you can focus on the common good.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your personal concerns take center stage today and dealing with them could distract you from your job. You might try to overcompensate by showing others how willing you are to cooperate with them, but they could misinterpret your flexibility as a sign of disinterest. It’s not wise to keep to yourself while taking the course of least resistance. Explain your position as succinctly as possible before you relinquish control.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel as if you’re not in a position to get exactly what you want, but you still could feel satisfied. It’s not likely that you’ll be able to leverage your position to come out on top, but, fortunately, you probably won’t go down in defeat either. Whatever happens now, remember that there will be time in the next few days to reclaim any ground you’ve lost.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ruling planet Mercury is up to his trickster games today as he aspects confident Jupiter. You might think that things are looking good, only to discover that you inadvertently glossed over an important detail. Even if you know what’s happening, more is going on than meets the eye. If possible, delay important decisions now, because a renewed sense of clarity will return by the weekend.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be known for your indecisiveness, but today you are sure of what you need. Don’t hold back now; let others know your preferences, even if they might want something else. Conflict clashes with your diplomatic style, but at least you have the tools to stand up for yourself. Think about what you are going to say before starting to talk. You could be happily surprised when your wish comes true.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today can be an important day for your finances, but you must be willing to stand up and state your needs clearly. If you don’t let others know about your goals, they are free to make incorrect assumptions. But don’t let the rules of social etiquette get in your way; speak your truth as directly as you can. Others will appreciate your honesty if you take a risk and share your point of view without editing it for political correctness. You may upset someone by stirring things up, but that is exactly what is needed now.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you’re uncomfortable with the high level of concentration that your current work assignment requires, consider the source of your uneasiness. You might not appreciate how you’re being managed, or, perhaps, you’re just bored with your job. Your restlessness is heightened by your inventive ideas now, especially if you have no easy way to share them. Instead of climbing too far out on a limb and telling the whole story, write it down and save it for another day when your message can have positive impact.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You take your work very seriously and prefer to know that you are correct before you share your opinions. You want others to believe that you’re reliable, but now your thoughts are a bit erratic and you may not trust your instincts. Actually, you’re able to think outside the box today, making your current ideas very original. Unfortunately, they may also be a bit spacey. Keep your visions to yourself for a few more days to see how they stand up to the test of time.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone is not playing fairly today and there isn’t a lot that you can do about it yet. A co-worker may have hidden motives for whatever scheme he or she is plotting. Don’t try to force the issue even if you believe that something important is being kept from you. Stop struggling; instead, let the events play out on their own. Everything you need to know will become obvious in time.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be the rebel in your group today, but you might not be aware of your role yet. If you’re working with a team, everyone else may seem more conservative than you are. You don’t intend to create trouble, but something you say could inadvertently let the truth slip out. Remember, once you speak your mind, you cannot take it back. But don’t worry; you will feel better after everything is out in the open.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 16th

From last night’s Moon-Jupiter trine from Virgo to Taurus to this morning’s Moon-Pluto trine from Virgo to Capricorn (7:56AM PST), there is a grand triangle hovering in the sky and offering you success and achievements in the business and professional realms. However, Mercury is only now beginning to gain much in the way of daily speed and three potential drawbacks occurs as Mars makes a frictional, 135-degree connection to Jupiter (8:02AM PST) while Vesta makes a rare union with Neptune in Aquarius (8:18AM PST) and the Moon unites with Mars in Virgo toward the end of the day (11:35PM PST). Trying to push your own agenda too far too fast can backfire. The Vesta-Neptune rapport suggests that by using your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity golden opportunities for forward progress can be made on the investment front. However, dashing ahead without a coherent game-plan or letting impatience take control won’t bring you deserved rewards. It is also wise to stop worrying about a wide variety of problems. Under Virgo Moon, this worry factor can doom almost any otherwise sensible enterprise. While you are wiping out worry, make sure you also eliminate criticism of self or others. This shadow side of the Virgo realm is another area of life that acts as a destroyer for our daily hopes. Reflection and contemplation during this lunar dispensation can remind you of the simple joys that make life worth living.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 14th

Today’s lively Leo Moon provokes us to do whatever we feel is necessary to be seen and heard. We don’t want to sit idly on the sidelines; we prefer to be in the game where the action is. We’re not afraid to start a new project and express our creativity with enthusiasm, since there are planets in each of the three Fire signs. Additionally, sharing our opinions is easier now that talkative Mercury is moving direct in philosophical Sagittarius.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t in the mood for anyone to tell you what to do today, but your rebellious attitude can create problems if you just do the opposite of whatever you are told. Doing things your way may seem like the best course of action, but your efforts won’t lead to a positive outcome now unless you also take time to listen to others. Don’t lose track of your long-term goals, but remember to soften your stance so you don’t alienate your allies.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

At times you are stubborn for no apparent reason, yet you might have a real justification for maintaining the status quo today. Unfortunately, you may find it challenging to explain your motives to others because you’re so confident now that you could become overly defensive. Although you’re not likely to change your mind, demonstrating a bit of flexibility in your thinking can help you to get what you want.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need to interact with others could run into unexpected problems today because everyone seems to have his or her own agenda. Fortunately, you can positively impact the flow of events anyway by concentrating on long-term goals instead of bothersome short-term frustrations. A simple change of perspective alleviates pressures that might otherwise evoke conflict. Tempering a possible extreme reaction improves your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Co-workers could come on so strong that you feel like retreating to insulate yourself from them. You don’t want to be goaded into making a choice before you’re ready to decide for yourself, so you’re tempted to withdraw without fully revealing your feelings. However, your fears can exacerbate a tricky situation. Instead of seeking solitude today, it might be wiser to admit your sensitivity and ask your associates to hold off with their judgments until you’ve had enough time to make up your mind.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may respond to someone’s invitation without even thinking now that the reactive Moon is back in your sign. Unfortunately, you might discover that you agreed to more than you intended. If you don’t consider what happens next, you could be unhappily surprised that your optimism steered you toward a wrong conclusion. On the other hand, you don’t have to be overly cautious if you just remember to temper your natural exuberance with a bit of common sense.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your feelings isn’t the best approach to managing a strong emotional interaction today. You are more transparent than you think, and others probably won’t trust you if they see that you aren’t being honest with them. Don’t wait until your frustration reaches a critical level before saying what’s on your mind. Avoiding an argument is easy now if you remember to share your reactions calmly before they grow out of control.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your need to please others can lead to fun today as long as you aren’t acting for a selfish reason. But if you’re only considering what’s advantageous for you, your expectations may get in the way of a wonderful experience. Ultimately, you might be struggling with control issues now, so try letting go of your attachment to any desired outcome. If you are simply responsive without promoting your agenda, you may end up with more than you thought possible.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might believe that you have to stand strong today, but your worries about being judged harshly could prompt you to overstate your perspective. You may even be so rigid in your presentation that others pull away from you because they think there’s not enough room in your position for negotiation. Fortunately, you can soften your message without weakening your conviction. Keep in mind that someone’s alternative point of view doesn’t necessarily threaten yours.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your optimism has returned now that Mercury is moving direct in your sign, and you may not have the patience to listen to anyone else’s negativity about your plans. If someone is dissatisfied with your agenda today, you could be tempted to just take off and do your own thing. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to react so quickly if it means that you are excluding others. Take a few deep breaths and give them time to come around because it will be more fun to play in a group.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It might seem as if someone is exerting unnecessary influence over you today and it doesn’t feel right. Instead of avoiding a confrontation by retreating, you’re annoyed enough to face it head-on — especially if you know that you are right. However, you could inadvertently create a situation where being a winner makes someone else a loser. Rather than sinking into unnecessary competition now, change the framework into a cooperative one where everyone comes out ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like it when someone is clear about his or her needs, but you’re not as supportive if a friend or co-worker is acting selfishly today. You may try to maintain your positive attitude, but you might respond with forceful words if someone pushes you too hard. It’s your decision; you don’t have to encourage conflict. You have the power to deflect aggression by quietly holding on to your position and waiting things out.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel the need to put on a show at work today because you want to be noticed for your contributions. But instead of drawing attention to yourself, just go about your business because completing your chores and fulfilling your obligations will garner more support than empty shenanigans. In the long run doing your job well brings you more recognition than shining a spotlight on yourself.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 14th

The admonition about Mercury – mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry – is an important one. New students in astrology or those people who only have a smattering of knowledge of how astrology really works seem to believe that signing key documents, dealing with crucial legal papers and making agreements suddenly becomes simple and easy once Mercury is no longer in reverse – as though it was Mercury’s reversal that was the main impediment to success. The reality is that whether Mercury is forward or backward, all major transits and progressions need to be examined – relative to a person’s complete horoscope – if giant decisions are to come out favorably. Mercury does have much to do with signing a piece of paper, but all the celestial bodies are influential, too, and any or several of them can be detrimental to a significant cause, plan or goal in the works. The best alignment going on during this 24-hour time-period is a Sun-Venus parallel (3:27PM PST). Love vibrations increase in wavelength and social activities look promising. A reminder about parallels as well as contra-parallels is that they are calculated by watching cosmic bodies move north and south of the Celestial Equator. The zodiacal aspects usually reported on occur by noting the main aspects of celestial bodies relative to the Ecliptic – the Sun’s apparent path in the sky, based on our view from the Earth. Later today, Mars forms a tense contra-parallel with Saturn (10:27PM PST). The bright and comforting energy-field ushered in seven hours earlier by the Sun and Venus becomes extinguished as Mars and Saturn act as rowdy mischief-makers. Keep your wits about you overnight and avoid major decision-making to the best of your ability.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, December 12th

We still might find it easier to keep our feelings to ourselves, even though the emotional Cancer Moon intensifies our reactions. Although we may not say much, our moods continue changing throughout the day, and each shift helps to add new perspectives to our current situation. The Moon’s harmonious sextile to physical Mars enables us to initiate action, even if we choose to remain silent on this last day of messenger Mercury’s retrograde phase.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It may not be easy to return to work today because the self-protective Cancer Moon encourages you to hide behind an impenetrable wall. You could be worried about a personal matter that pulls some of your attention away from your work. You might even need extra time to take care of family responsibilities, so it’s crucial to find ways to increase your efficiency on the job. Completing tasks quicker enables you to gracefully balance your private and public obligations.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s difficult to stay within your limits today because indulgent Jupiter convinces you that anything is possible. However, your excessive behavior won’t likely be apparent to others as the introverted Cancer Moon visits your 3rd House of Communication. Although your judgment is cloudy now, you’re likely to err on the side of generosity rather than stinginess. Even if your day doesn’t unfold as expected, maintaining a flexible attitude helps to smooth over the rough spots.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your gut instincts could get in your way of having a good time today, but it isn’t a healthy strategy to ignore your feelings for the sake of convenience. If you do, you may become disconnected from your closest friends and co-workers. Sharing your emotions may be awkward at first, but the simple act of communication could be enough to prevent loneliness now. Revealing your vulnerability takes courage, but it’s the key to deepening an important relationship.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expressing your feelings seems more natural today with the Moon camping out in your sign. It’s even easier if you are confident about your current course of action. However, others may still be hesitant now, making it difficult to know if they really support your ideas. It’s a mistake to take the feedback you receive too personally. Instead of worrying or complaining, get busy and make your plan so awesome that it can’t be ignored.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s not time to reveal your feelings yet, for others may not be as trustworthy as they seem now. A co-worker might successfully play off your hopes and entice you to change your mind. Your best strategy today is practicing self-containment; keeping to yourself adds power to your dreams. Make time for your inner work and include others in your process only after you are ready.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s challenging to stay on track now because your emotions could be at odds with what’s happening in your outer world. You may not be feeling very grounded today; your current strategy may fall apart if it’s not based upon real business cycles. Thankfully, cutting back on superfluous activities should help you to concentrate on the most important work at hand.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may spend time today contacting a few key colleagues and asking them for their support. Unfortunately, it’s not likely that you will get them to commit to your plan, for everyone seems to have an agenda of his or her own. Instead of trying to herd cats, pare back your current aspirations. Simplifying your goals and limiting your conversations to one-on-one encounters increase your chances for success.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be thinking about an upcoming trip, but you’re not likely to share your plans yet. You could be afraid that others won’t understand your needs and you don’t want to waste time justifying your intentions. Additionally, it’s more useful to develop your ideas and take them to the next level before dissipating your enthusiasm by responding to any negative judgments. Once you have figured out your itinerary, then you’ll be able to talk about it with more confidence.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This can be a fairly smooth day, especially if you have figured how to be more comfortable with feelings that may have been causing trouble recently. At first confronting fears that stem from an old relationship wound may seem too overwhelming to face today, but it becomes easier as the day wears on. Interactions with others can take on a life of their own today, yet practicing the art of compromise helps you keep it all together now.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want more clarity in relationships now, but the security you crave may be nearly impossible to find if others aren’t playing by the same rules of the game. You may feel let down when someone doesn’t meet your high expectations for consistency or productivity. Getting your workmates to agree to your deadline today seems like a positive step, but this doesn’t mean they will actually deliver on their promises. Patience is necessary and a healthy sense of humor helps during these uncertain times.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re feeling out of your element today as illogical emotions swirl around, creating complex currents and subtle nuances that are hard to understand. A simple job might require more time to complete now because you won’t want to do things the tried-and-true way. If you can take the courage and enthusiasm you have about experimenting with new methods and use that positivity to jump into an emotional discussion, you may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your best efforts may be thwarted now, but your willingness to let go of your original course of action can enable you to overcome the current obstacles. Paradoxically, you — and not the circumstances — create the limitations today. Unfortunately, working harder won’t necessarily bring success; instead, unwavering persistence and a positive attitude is your ticket to the top.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 12th

Messenger Mercury’s shift into forward gear on Tuesday should get conversations and communications moving more quickly. New connections that have been caught up in holding patterns may soon be ready for takeoff. Just plan your weekend carefully since efficiency is sexy with the Moon in practical Virgo on Friday and Saturday. The lunar shift into lovely Libra on Sunday morning creates a perfect atmosphere for hanging out with good friends or collaborating on a creative project that makes your heart sing.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing, Aries, but you could raise your expectations beyond reason this weekend. The efficient Virgo Moon is busy working in your 6th House of Service, which can tie you up with minor tasks on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. Bold plans and extravagant promises are more likely to cause complications that result in disappointment. A more modest approach to your social life can lead to sweet little pleasures that warm your heart.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Messages are mixed this weekend with the mood-setting Moon kicking back in your 5th House of Romance on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday, increasing your chances of receiving some love and affection. However, the Moon’s presence in analytical Virgo can provoke criticism that undermines confidence. Recognizing your flaws and striving for self-improvement is an admirable approach, but don’t allow minor matters to get in the way of your fun.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your chatty ruling planet Mercury turns direct in your 7th House of Partners on Tuesday night, enabling communications to flow more easily. Honesty is, of course, a wonderful policy as long as it’s mixed with kindness. But blunt statements from you or others can be hurtful, even if that’s not anyone’s intention. Considering your audience and choosing your words with care can help heal ongoing relationships or get a new one off to a healthy start.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Explaining your feelings isn’t always easy, but could be an essential task this weekend. The logical Virgo Moon visits your 3rd House of Information on Thursday night and stays until Sunday morning, placing a premium on clear communications. If you can focus on one subject at a time, you should be able to untangle emotional knots and overcome misunderstandings. Being completely open about your interests with someone new can lay down a solid foundation that slowly builds the trust you need.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

When it comes to love you’re a gambler who likes to put your heart on the line. However, the Moon is in cautious Virgo and your 2nd House of Self-Worth from Thursday night to Sunday morning, which suggests that you are better off measuring your emotions and controlling how you express them this weekend. Repairing a wounded relationship takes time and attention; building a new one is also more likely to work best with patience that allows passion to grow slowly.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon drops into your analytical sign Thursday night and doesn’t leave until Sunday morning, amplifying emotional tension and casting you in the spotlight. Obviously, you would prefer to avoid the attention when you’re not performing at your best. However, you can learn something important now about how your behavior affects your relationships. Talking through complex issues with loved ones empowers you to make more intelligent decisions about your personal life.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Peace and quiet are more desirable on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday when the Virgo Moon is moving through your ultra-private 12th house. Time spent alone or with one sensitive person in a secret place can provide the comfort that you seek. Bolder behavior is likely on Sunday with a lunar shift into your sociable sign. You’re ready for excitement and might be so bored with the usual routine that you’re the one to shake things up.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Social activities involving friends or colleagues should spice up your life this weekend. The Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Groups enlivens the mood on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday when you’re a valuable part of a team. Connecting with someone special while working for a charitable organization makes for a perfect blend of service and pleasure. However, it’s smart to get your rest, because Sunday could be a wild day as sudden changes of mood provide all the surprises you can handle.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Finding time to enjoy yourself could be challenging this weekend. The hardworking Virgo Moon is highlighting your 10th House of Responsibilities until Sunday morning, loading you down with plenty of obligations. On the plus side, this gives you a wonderful chance to prove what a competent leader you are now. However, don’t promise too much, because earning respect may not sound sexy, but could be a positive step toward obtaining the love you desire.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your interest in unique and unconventional subjects could enhance your relationship life this weekend. The Moon is traveling through detail-oriented Virgo and your 9th House of Learning, enabling you to combine education and entertainment. Whether you’re a student or a teacher, taking in cultural events not only sharpens your mind, but makes you a more desirable companion. Being generous with your knowledge only increases your sex appeal.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The analytical Virgo Moon’s presence in your 8th House of Intimacy can bring you closer with someone special over the weekend. However, there may be some critical little details to be worked out to make this magic happen. Discussing delicate issues requires maturity and a willingness to be precise about your needs. It’s easy to find faults now, but romance flourishes when hard truths are softened with kind words of compassion and forgiveness.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The picky Virgo Moon enters your 7th House of Partnerships on Thursday night to place relationship matters on the front burner most of the weekend. You may be dealing with a critical person, but don’t let tender feelings keep you from facing the facts. You might have to work hard to restore peace to a current alliance or to get off to a good start with someone new. Use common sense to create the safety net that you need for the intimacy that follows.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, December 12th

If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 9th

We ask questions so we can gather more data today, prompted by the curious Gemini Moon. But her opposition to mental Mercury makes it tough to draw any clear conclusions from what we learn because the facts don’t seem to mesh with our feelings. Although we may increase our knowledge, satisfaction is elusive and the Moon’s square to combative Mars puts us in an argumentative mood. However, being right isn’t as important as discovering the truth.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re being pulled in several different directions today, making it very difficult to choose a course of action. Ironically, procrastination actually seems like a reasonable strategy because it enables you to keep your options open. But your window of opportunity won’t last forever, so don’t delay your decision too long. Unfortunately, your innocence can steer you wrong if you believe that adding more alternatives is now your best bet.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

If your feelings have been overwhelming recently, today’s simplicity goes a long way toward raising your spirits. But it’s not prudent to get too excited before you really know all the facts. Although you may be in an easygoing mood, there’s still plenty of work to do so you cannot afford to slack off. Even if you are distracted by the temptation of avoiding your responsibilities, it’s smarter to stay focused and finish your chores before indulging your desire to kick back and relax.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your restless sign lights a fire under you, inspiring you to swing into action. But running into a small obstacle could be enough to quickly change your mind. It isn’t that you’re easily discouraged; it’s that your attention span is now even shorter than usual. You probably won’t be able to keep your thoughts on track today, yet your vigilance does make a big difference. You can still make progress if you keep bringing your focus back to the work at hand.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your dreams are overflowing into daylight hours as tomorrow’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse grows nearer, making it challenging to separate your facts from fantasy. Thankfully, you draw great inspiration from your imagination, so don’t try to suppress any flights of fancy. Unfettered thoughts are like kites today; let them soar on your mental currents, but don’t forget that you are holding the string that tethers them to reality.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You get excited by thinking about the future with the Moon visiting your 11th House of Goals, but it’s difficult to tell if your optimism is warranted. Romance may seem quite real now like a carrot dangling in front of you in order to get you moving. But whatever happens, it is a positive development if you are inspired to take care of business today so you will be ready for whatever happens next.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clarity is elusive today, even if you analyze all the facts before attempting to make a sensible decision based upon logic. You might be so enamored with what you are learning that you continue to collect all the relevant details that you can synthesize. It’s challenging to maintain your confidence, especially if you try to prove your point by throwing more information at the issue. Forget about trying to know what’s right; you will be better off by just following your instincts now.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are ready to blast off today because you’re so excited about your future. Fortunately, you can use your creativity to transform your intentions into reality. However, it’s not wise to take anything for granted now or your dreams could slip away. Keep your feet on the ground and work extra hard if you want to reach your goals.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could be feeling anxious today with messenger Mercury and the radiant Sun in futuristic Sagittarius, because you’re not interested in the pie-in-the-sky thinking that’s inviting you to explore the wide expanses. New possibilities appear on the horizon now, yet pursuing them might be risky business — and you don’t like that. Instead of attempting to plan for the unknown, focus on the present moment so you can see your accomplishments on an ongoing basis.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may be feeling stress from a business or personal relationship now, you’re sure these issues can be easily handled. However, your current dilemma stems from the fact that you might not know where your life is leading, so you could skip over a significant predicament. Remember, it’s healthier to face your concerns when they arise or they can become more complex and harder to manage later on.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re a little disoriented today, making it tricky to find your balance. Your tendency is to work at a sustainable pace, while attacking each chore with great deliberation. Unfortunately, this tried and true strategy could fall short of your expectations now. Although it sounds counterintuitive, you can increase your efficiency if you stop planning and begin doing. Even if you have a few false starts, it’s still better to find your groove by trial and error.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although your day may not unfold according to your agenda, it’s not sensible to try too hard to get things back on track today. In fact, sticking to your plan might be a total waste of time that exhausts you without rewarding you with something to show for all your hard work. Instead of driving harder, relax the reins of control but don’t squander this opportunity. Use this time to reconsider your desires and re-evaluate what’s most important to you.

Pisces Horoscope
