Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 10

Aries Horoscope
With Mercury in your solar sixth house these days, there can be more mental work or menial tasks in your life, dear Aries, and sometimes the details of your everyday life can be all-consuming when Mercury is challenged. This can happen today – you might feel a little scattered. Watch for nit-picking and nervous tension! Stifling situations and activities that restrict you seem more plentiful these days, but today you could feel a little caged in. Watch that you are not making changes simply for the sake of change. Focus instead on making changes that move you forward.

Taurus

With Mercury in your creative sector these days, dear Taurus, there can be more drama, playfulness, and fun in your communications. Today’s Mercury-Uranus clash may stir up some problems, however, possibly from something you say or how you’re interpreted by others. A relationship could feel a little competitive. Even so, surprises can bring interesting insight into your true feelings or could prompt a mental detour that leads to positive change. You don’t have to take others into your confidence if you aren’t ready to, but be as honest as possible with yourself for best results now. This is how you truly learn and grow.

Gemini

The Moon leaves your sign this morning, and enters your solar second house, dear Gemini. This position of the Moon tends to steady your emotions or at the very least calm your sense of urgency to meet emotional needs. However, with your ruler in communication with Uranus today, the desire to shake things up or to effect change can be with you. Know what needs changing and why, or you could just be stirring up trouble. Freedom issues with friends and balancing your social life with family or personal time can figure strongly now. Friends or networks could stimulate new ideas or could completely change your perspective on a matter.

Cancer

The Moon enters your sign this morning, dear Cancer, bringing any emotions that you’ve been brushing to the side up to the surface. With the Moon in your sign, your own needs are your primary concern, and if you’ve been ignoring them, you could feel a bit of an emotional flood now. There can be a lot of mental energy with you these days, or much busy work that keeps you on your toes. Today, this can serve to go too far, make you tense, and possibly even disrupt your workflow. Watch for impulsiveness in your speech and in transit if you’re feeling stressed out. However, pay attention to new ideas, which may be raw for now, but quite creative and even inspired.

Leo

The Moon entering your privacy sector this morning lends you a somewhat withdrawn manner today, dear Leo. This is a natural time for pulling back from the more demanding or competitive elements of your life in order to get some peace and to reconnect with yourself. There can be some pressure from the outside, and this can stir escapist feelings. Tend to your own needs and the demands on you in as balanced a manner as possible, because ignoring either can bring up guilt or leave you feeling behind. There may be some tendency to fret or worry over money and valuables. For some, there may be technical problems to deal with, particularly related to travel, publishing, money, and personal possessions.
Virgo

With Mercury in your sign these days, dear Virgo, you can find that you’re busier than usual, and perhaps have more decisions to make that you feel you must make on your own. Today, Mercury forms a challenging aspect with Uranus – a mild one, but it could be just enough that you feel restless. The trick is to find where you need to change up the routine. Try to give your mind a bit of a break, if you have the chance to, by exploring a new interest or simply getting a breath of fresh air. Insight into your finances or something in your intimate, inner life can come now. You might experience a moment of truth, or of motivation to kick a bad habit and to live a freer, more joyful life as a result.
Libra

With Mercury in your privacy sector and Venus retrograde these days, dear Libra, it’s especially important to know when you are crossing the line from analyzing the past in order to improve the present, to obsessing over things you cannot undo. Try not to go overboard. Nervous tension is possible now if you can’t seem to turn your mind “off”. Reduce stimulants and simplify your day as much as possible. This is not the time to jump into something without first considering your options. If you don’t know where you’re going, it doesn’t matter how fast you go, so try to slow down. The Moon moves into your professional sector this morning, and this can stimulate a need to shine, improve, and perform.
Scorpio

The Moon moves into your adventure sector this morning, dear Scorpio, and this shift tends to pull you out of yourself. It’s a time for experimenting and dreaming. Mercury in your solar eleventh house these days stimulates inventive and progressive thinking, but with its hard aspect to Uranus today, this may be taken out of bounds. Watch for jumping forward with ideas that are undeveloped or speaking too soon about a matter. Instead of developing the skills you need now, out of a bit of boredom, you could be wanting to jump into something new, but this may only serve to add too much to your life to the point that you are stressed and stretched out. You may need to mix up your routines in order to feel a little more engaged.
Sagittarius

The normal, usual routine may not seem very appealing today, dear Sagittarius, particularly on a mental level, as you can be feeling hungry for mental stimulation and new ideas. However, with too much going on around you, you may not be able to fully appreciate these things if they do emerge. As well, you may be ignoring the work that needs to be done simply because it’s not appealing for the moment. Try to breathe new life into your current projects and priorities rather than chasing excitement that may only serve to bog you down or leave you feeling behind.
Capricorn

This is a good time for dreaming up big ideas, dear Capricorn, but not necessarily for their practical implementation. This shouldn’t, of course, stop you from thinking about possibilities. What you may want to watch for today, however, is chasing different ideas and experiences just because you are a little restless or bored with what you’re doing. Try to simplify things rather than taking on more. Also, impatience in your communications or transit can lead to problems now. Listen to your urges, but judge whether you may be drawing conclusions too quickly. New ideas can draw you in, but it’s important to know whether you truly have room to pursue a whole new project or interest, and if not, whether you can make room for it.

Aquarius

You can be especially attracted to new ideas and topics of study right now, dear Aquarius, but in so doing you may be losing a lot of time for the things you need to do in order for your life to run smoothly. Taking on new things without truly making room for them can add a lot of unnecessary stress to your life. Satisfy your need for change and mental stimulation today in small, balanced ways, by changing up your routine or approaching the work you need to do in different ways. Try not to jump into decisions today, and avoid hasty remarks, emails, texts, and the like. It can be so easy for you to get caught up in the moment or in your own excitement that you temporarily lose touch with common sense. The Moon moves into your solar sixth house this morning for a couple of days, and this brings good energy for health and work endeavors.

Pisces

You could be making a surprise connection now, dear Pisces, that shakes up your perspective or line of thinking. This might occur while taking part in activities revolving around finances, such as while banking or shopping. Avoid jumping into new projects, particularly money-making ones, however. While you’re itching to change your situation, risky moves are not advised for the moment. People around you may be a little unreliable now, or they might come up with unusual news. People may be challenging your ideas or simply changing your view of them.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 7th

Aries

Today, Mercury leaves your self-expression sector and tomorrow, Mars will enter it, dear Aries. Mercury transits your sector of work, service, health, and routines until the 27th, making it a strong period for really sorting things out, organizing, and taking care of details. It’s also a good time for learning new skills, information that helps your health or work, and conversations that lead to making improvements. You are seeing things for their details and perhaps their flaws as well now. While there can be some tendency to fret and worry during this cycle, it’s otherwise very helpful and useful, particularly if your daily life and routines can use some shaping up. With so much emphasis on your creative, expressive, entertaining sector these days, Mercury moving on from it can point to the beginnings of a mindset that is geared up to take care of business. There may be some conflict over issues of independence stimulated today that pits home life and outside responsibilities against one another.

Taurus

Mercury leaves your home and family sector today, and Mars will enter it tomorrow, dear Taurus. From now until the 27th, with Mercury in the sector of your solar chart that rules creative self-expression and pleasure, you’re beginning to think about having a bit of fun and sharing your ideas with others. In truth, you have been a tad withdrawn lately with so many planets in your hearth sector and your ruler, Venus, retrograde. While this trend continues a while longer, Mercury’s move today can bring you out of your shell a little. You might take a few more risks when it comes to expressing yourself and learning. Others tend to respond better to your ideas as well during this cycle. The Moon continues to transit your sign all day (until very early into the day tomorrow), and your emotions tend to rule.

Gemini

Mercury moves out of your communications zone and into your sector of home and family today, dear Gemini. Until the 27th, you’re likely to think a lot about home, family, and personal matters. You may keep a little more to yourself during this cycle. At times, you could discover that you’re not coming across as smoothly or can’t seem to find the right words to express yourself. There can be a lot of mental activity at home, learning and working could be done in the home environment, and there can be interesting tidbits of information coming your way through family. There continues to be a strong focus on reaching out to others with many planets still in your communications sector and Mars entering it tomorrow, but starting from today, you’re a little more inclined to need your personal space in order to arrive at decisions.

Cancer

There is a strong focus on your sector of comfort, material goods, and resources these days, dear Cancer, and while this will continue a while longer, Mercury moves on from this zone of your solar chart today. With Mercury transiting your sector of communications from now until the 27th, you’re becoming more curious, branching out a little more, and reaching out as well. You can be more communicative and interested in learning. There is more mental activity in your life, and eagerness to either write, study, speak, or share ideas. Today, with Mars in your sign opposing Ceres, you may need to watch for coming on too strongly or brusquely with others, and especially a partner.

Leo

There is a strong emphasis on your personality these days with so many planets in your sign, dear Leo. This will continue a while longer, and Mars is set to enter Leo tomorrow as well. However, today, Mercury leaves your sign and enters your solar second house. This transit that lasts until August 27th can stimulate preoccupation with practical matters, money, resources, talents, and business affairs. You are beginning to want to see more in the way of tangible signs of success or progress now. You might attempt to learn more in order to earn more, and you are better at strategic planning with money at this time, largely because Mercury’s energy is reasonable and rational. During this cycle, you might also seek out feedback for your intelligence or talents. Today could bring some feelings of being under the weather if you’re not feeling motivated. Otherwise it’s very strong for seeing patterns and coming up with useful ideas.

Virgo

Mercury enters your sign today, dear Virgo, where it will stay until the 27th. There continues to be a strong emphasis on the sign just behind yours and your privacy sector, and this will happen a while longer, especially with Mars entering that area of your chart tomorrow. However, Mercury is the first of these planets to move into the light in your solar chart. In less than a week, Jupiter will emerge as well. For now, you are beginning to share a little more, by talking, writing, and connecting with others. This is nevertheless a rather independent time, as you tend to be a self-starter and you often make executive decisions during this cycle. However, you are more aware of the goings-on around you, and you are more willing to talk about yourself and your plans. Today’s Moon in your adventure sector all day can certainly get you moving, whether this is physical or mental or both.

Libra

Mercury begins its transit of your privacy sector today, dear Libra, where it will influence until August 27th. There is a move towards more insular but also more intuitive thinking during this almost three-week cycle. Decision making can also be more solitary, and it can also take a little longer, even than usual, as you can feel as if there are so many variables to consider that it’s hard to come to definite conclusions. There can be an increased tendency to think about matters of the past now, and this is reinforced with your ruler, Venus, retrograde through to the first week of September. You are more inclined to keep secrets or simply spend more time in your own little world. This is certainly not the most outspoken period in your life, but this can be a necessary thing for the time being. You might also frequently work and learn in solitude.

Scorpio

From now until the 27th, you’re likely to have more contact with friends, groups, and associates, dear Scorpio, and you can pick up some very useful information through others. Networking assumes more importance in your life with Mercury now in your solar eleventh house, and it’s a time for sharing your knowledge with others, taking part in group activities, or simply spending more time with like-minded people. You are more likely to entertain non-traditional ideas and you can be attracted to alternative subjects or plans. You can be especially excited about new, unusual, and original ideas for future projects or long-term plans during this cycle. The Moon spends another day in your partnership sector today, however, and you may in fact feel better in one-on-one situations than group settings just for now. There may be some angry words or frustration with narrow viewpoints.

Sagittarius

Today until the 27th of August, Mercury transits your tenth house of career and reputation, dear Sagittarius. During this cycle, your thoughts might often turn to your responsibilities, plans, work, and reputation. You tend to be more accountable for what you communicate, and you might be more aware of how you are coming across when you speak or write. People may be turning to you for advice, as your intelligence or knowledge is more noticeable to others during this period. This can be a good time for making business contacts and connections or simply for learning more about your field. You might find yourself in the position to make important decisions, or decisions about your life direction now. There could be new goals or lifestyle changes entertained now. Today, the Moon is in your work and health sector, and you continue to take special interest in the details of your daily life.

Capricorn

The Mercury cycle that begins today and runs until the 27th eases self-expression and smooths out communications, dear Capricorn. There is a more positive outlook, although also a searching, somewhat restless spirit on a mental level. Your thinking is less about the details and more about the bigger picture. The down side of this is that you may overlook important points, but the positive side involves more enjoyment and pleasure in learning, and less stressing about problems. This is an excellent time for learning, particularly of broad subjects rather than developing skills and know-how. Today brings nice energy for recreational pursuits and self-expression overall, but you could find someone is coming on too strong or is pushy with you when a more delicate approach would be more effective.

Aquarius

Mercury moves out of your partnership sector today, and Mars will move into it tomorrow, dear Aquarius. Mercury’s transit of your solar eighth house until the 27th brings a stronger interest in, and attention to, the hidden elements of your life. You are picking up a lot more from your environment than usual, and seeing motives, subtleties, power dynamics, and more in your own behavior and in the people around you. There can be less impetus to share your ideas with others, with the possible exception of a trusted friend or partner with whom conversations can be frequent, during this cycle. You might have less patience for conversation, information, or learning that is superficial. Today, you continue to crave more time to yourself or with family.

Pisces

Today, intelligent Mercury enters the sign directly opposite yours and your partnership sector, dear Pisces. This transit, lasting until the 27th, brings a stronger tendency to seek out others for ideas and decisions, as well as to attract talkative people into your experience. You tend to enjoy input from others not so that they can make decisions for you, but so that they can help stimulate your own thought processes. Today’s Taurus Moon is a usually busy one for you, as it falls in the communications sector of your solar chart. Watch for a conflict with a friend over issues of protectiveness or freedom. Look for every opportunity to learn something new now.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Friday, July 24th

Get a Jump On Tomorrow…..

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 24th

Aries

The Sun and Mercury are in a fellow Fire sign, dear Aries, and these positions tend to strengthen your confidence and increase the desire to make connections, express yourself, and enjoy life. Your romantic and/or creative nature is strongly stimulated now. Venus, which rules values, love, and resources in a general sense, and partnerships and money for you more specifically, is turning retrograde tomorrow. This points to a period of review of any or all of these things as you reassess whether or not your needs are being met. You may turn to the past in order to better understand the present, but because you may feel a little stuck there, it is not the best time for pushing forward with new plans. Uranus, in your sign for some time, is also about to turn retrograde. Both energies are strong now, but as you adjust to the change of direction, you may not be seeing things clearly. The next few days are better for taking in than taking definite action.

Taurus

With both the Sun and Mercury now traveling through your home and family sector, dear Taurus, the more focused and relaxed pace tends to become you. Indeed, you are often quite happy dealing with your domestic chores and surrounding yourself with familiar people and things. Even so, there are times when you may feel under the radar or not fully understood by the rest of the world. Even so, you may very well choose to work harder at finding peace with those closest to you. With Venus about to turn retrograde and soon enough re-entering this same sector of your chart, you are likely to reconsider recent moves, relationships, and events as you get into better touch with what it is that you need and want, particularly from family and home life.

Gemini

The Sun and Mercury cycles that you’ve recently begun are good for branching you out a little more, communicating, and making connections, dear Gemini. You’re likely to be running more errands than usual, moving about physically and mentally, managing your daily life more effectively, and communicating with people more frequently. You may be craving changes of scenery more often now. Venus and Uranus are moving towards retrograde stations, making the next few days a little confusing. However, their retrograde cycles are good for getting into closer touch with your desires, needs, and values. During this transition period, try to hold off on important conversations and decisions if possible. Wait until perceptions are clearer.

Cancer

The Sun transits your solar second house until August 23rd and Mercury transits this same sector of your chart until August 7th, dear Cancer. Money and possessions can assume more importance in your life in the coming weeks, and so can matters of comfort, sensual enjoyment, and activities that remind you of the simple pleasures in life. While life is settling down a little, you tend to be looking around you, accounting for what you have and what you may need, so that if you feel wanting, you’re more likely to want to fill the gap. It’s a good time for taking charge of money, and care of your possessions. Venus is reaching a station, as it will turn retrograde tomorrow. Uranus will station the following day, so that perceptions can be a little askew just for now. Avoid jumping to conclusions. Today is strong, however, for imagination and creative pursuits.

Leo

The Sun is in your sign until August 23rd and Mercury is in Leo as well, until August 7th, dear Leo. Venus will return to your sign on July 31st through retrograde motion. There is a lot of attention on you now! You are in the spotlight, not necessarily for what you do or what you have accomplished, but for who you are. You are projecting more strength and people take notice. Venus turns retrograde tomorrow, and then re-enters your sign for the remainder of its retrograde starting July 31st and running until September 26th, and this can point to a period of some introspection and a re-examination of what and who you value. Today and the next two days are days of shifting, and this can mean some confusion about these things until you get into the swing of things. As such, it’s probably better to delay important decisions.

Virgo

More time set aside for rest, introspection, healing, and meditation may be necessary with the Sun in your privacy sector until August 23rd, Mercury in the same sector of your solar chart until August 7th, and tomorrow’s retrograde turn of Venus in your sign. You are more naturally inclined to pull back a little from situations that are excessively demanding or competitive. You are not as quick to talk of your plans or to make definite decisions. While Venus’ retrograde cycle lasts from tomorrow until September 6th, it will occur for the most part in the sign of Leo, even though it begins in your sign. This can point to a false start of sorts for some of you, particularly related to relationships or money matters. Today and the next couple of days can be a little disorienting if things are moving too fast, and there could be some miscommunications to deal with as a result.

Libra

Your need to be with others or to feel part of a community or network is stronger now with the Sun in your friendship sector until August 23rd and Mercury in the same sector of your solar chart until August 7th, dear Libra. New ideas for the future might be hatched during this cycle. They’re still very fresh, and some might be scrapped later, but there is a birthing process of sorts going on right now. While today is strong for imagination and creation, there can be some confused signals occurring with both Venus and Uranus moving towards their retrograde stations. Both of these affect your relationships, and because Venus is your ruler, you can also be feeling a bit torn between wanting company and needing some time to sort things through. Take your time on decisions during these shift days as you learn to accustom yourself to the strong energy for review and examination, as you’ll have a lot to learn over the coming weeks about your needs and wants.

Scorpio

In the coming weeks, your major focus turns to professional matters, ambitions, material and social success, and your reputation, dear Scorpio. Depending on your current position in life, this can be about your long-term goals and general plans for your life. Performance and responsibilities come into stronger focus, and you’re bound to find that you are more accountable for the things you do and don’t do. There can be increased mental activity and communications to and about your goals. Others take special note of what you have to say. There is strong energy for creative and romantic feelings. However, with Venus and Uranus both approaching their retrograde stations, much can be left up in the air for now. Their retrograde cycles are strong for reacquainting yourself with your needs, wants, and desires, but the shift can be disorienting, so avoid major decisions just for now.

Sagittarius

In the coming weeks, there is a stronger focus on exploring, enjoying, and experiencing life than there has been in recent times, dear Sagittarius, and you definitely need it! The Sun is transiting your adventure sector until August 23rd, and Mercury is in the same house of your solar chart until August 7th, and these influences tend to be like a pick-me-up. You are a little happier, more confident, and a touch braver as well. Venus is about to turn retrograde and Uranus will soon follow. This can point to a few days of transition energy, which can be a little confusing, but only until you acclimatize to the changes of direction. In fact, the period ahead is good for getting to the heart of a relationship matter, and even more importantly, what you truly value and need for yourself.

Capricorn

With the Sun now shining its light on some of the things that are typically hidden from view, dear Capricorn, and Mercury in the same sector of your chart as well, you are bound to learn a lot about your inner motivations, and about the world around you. You are less concerned with being heard and understood than you are interested in understanding the workings of people and situations around you at a deeper level. Soon, Venus will return to this sector of your chart as well, but this time in retrograde motion, making it an especially important time for exploring some of your own fears or negative attitudes. It will also be a time for reviewing financial matters, particularly those shared with a partner and money or resources that come in as a form of support.

Aquarius

The Sun and Mercury are now pulling your attention to close relationships, dear Aquarius, and the recent strong focus on work and routines lifts. Even though these are still important things to you, they are no longer on the front burner. Adjusting yourself to social situations, to others’ agendas, and to your personal environment is a bigger concern now. Self-expression through your relationships is important now. You might seek out others for their moral support. Even if you don’t end up following advice, you’re likely to enjoy hearing other points of view before coming to a conclusion. Venus is approaching a retrograde station, and so is your ruler, Uranus. This makes the coming few days a short period of transition as you get yourself accustomed to the changes of direction, but the retrograde periods themselves are cycles of review. You can find yourself examining the past in order to better understand your present needs.

Pisces

With the Sun and Mercury in your solar sixth house, until August 23rd and August 7th respectively, you can experience renewed energy and motivation for work and routines, dear Pisces. Venus will return to this sector of your chart on July 31st, this time in retrograde motion, adding even more emphasis to these areas of life. Take every opportunity that arises to work on greater self-awareness, improvement of self-care and health programs, and dealing with detail work. You are more aware of your limits, and your focus is largely on correcting details and solving problems. Try to avoid the more negative side of these influences, which involves fretting or stressing over less important things and failing to see the bigger picture. Today brings beautiful energy for creating something special and unique, even if these are only in the idea stages.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 23rd

Aries

There is a lot of activity in your solar fifth house now, dear Aries, with the Sun and Mercury now transiting this creative sector. Today, these bodies align, and an overdue conversation, clearing of the air, news, or sudden insight can occur. Until August 23rd, the Sun is transiting this sector of your chart and helps you to reconnect with your inner child. A shift happens now, from strong focus on your personal and home life to more creative and entertaining pastimes, romance, and sport. The better you’ve tended to your “insides” in the past four weeks, the more confidence you’ll have to express and share in the coming weeks. The Sun is complementing your sign for a month, and you are likely to be feeling freer and happier, as well as more confident and outgoing in a general sense. You can also experience an increased need for communication with children or lovers, or for expressing your ideas in creative, unique ways. Today, you can be particularly articulate and possibly even a little dramatic.

Taurus

The Sun and Mercury have now moved into your home and family sector, dear Taurus, and an especially busy period now gives way to a need for more peace, comfort, quiet, and familiarity. They join forces today, stimulating sudden awareness and encouraging meaningful ideas and conversations. These can motivate you to push forward with domestic plans. Some of you could be clearing the air about a past matter and seeing opportunities to put the negative elements of the past behind you, particularly in a relationship. The coming weeks are important for reconnecting to your roots, for building your inner well, and for taking charge of your family life. This is a time of gaining clarity concerning family or home-related matters.

Gemini

With the Sun and Mercury both entering your sector of communications, learning, and errands, and aligning with one another, dear Gemini, you can find yourself in high demand. As distracting as life can be right now, it’s also a good time for engaging in helpful conversations and learning new ways to approach old problems. There can be an important discovery, epiphany, or conversation occurring now. There can be a clearing of the air. Both the Sun and Mercury are now moving through your communications sector and harmonizing with your sign, pointing to more ease and understanding. These transits can bring you into more contact with others, a busy pace of life, and chances to pick up all sorts of information.

Cancer

You may be seeing an issue surrounding values, respect, money, talents, or possessions today with more objectivity and clarity, dear Cancer. There may be an epiphany, sudden idea or something dawning on you, a lightbulb over the head moment, or important news. You can find useful information in the details right now. Conversations can also be helpful, particularly those that are more informational than emotional, and more logical than conceptual. The Sun and now Mercury have ended their yearly transits of your sign. In the past weeks, you’ve likely received more than usual personal attention. Now, you’re shifting gears and your focus is turning to what it is that makes you feel secure and comfortable.

Leo

You’ve come to the end of a rather introspective cycle, dear Leo, with the Sun and Mercury finishing up transits in your privacy sector and now embarking on transits to your sign. Ideally, you’ve acquired more rest and time for deep thought in the past weeks. Your personality is shining now. You are more noticeable than usual and projecting more strength. You’re feeling especially talkative and expressive. You are also busier than usual, your curiosity is piqued, and you can feel especially motivated to get moving on a pet project, or to learn something entirely new. This is an animated period for friendships and networking. Today is a time for verbalizing your desires, to be heard, and to get noticed. You may be driven to express yourself or to communicate with someone, and you may be turned to for advice or asked to speak. Your need to be heard is significant right now and you can count on others listening. There can be important realizations, epiphanies, and clarifications occurring now.

Virgo

You’ve ended a solar cycle today that has put special emphasis on networking, dear Virgo, and you’re now turning more attention to your private, inner world. The coming month is likely to involve some cleaning out of the deadwood in your life, perhaps dealing with endings as you examine the past in order to put it behind you, and some soul searching. More time set aside for relaxing, meditative activities is necessary now. Some of you will be dealing with endings and tying up loose ends rather than throwing yourself into something entirely new, and this is a natural process. Illumination can come today, when you pay attention to details on a private or past matter. The Sun and Mercury align in your soul sector, and this can prompt you to see something you’ve failed to see before, or a conversation can bring up new information that allows you to come to a more definite conclusion. You might reawaken a topic from the past today, or have new insight into an old issue. There can be a good feeling of purging or release involved with bringing something to light.

Libra

Your social life can be animated in the coming weeks, dear Libra, and today, much thought can be given to friendships, group associations, and long-term goals. There can be better self-expression today, new insight into any of these matters, and sudden ideas or realizations that have you feeling hopeful and possibly quite excited. After a fair amount of attention to performance and ambitions in the last few weeks, your focus now shifts as the Sun and Mercury spotlight an area of your chart that rules over your social and humanitarian or personal happiness goals. Being a “team player” will win you the most favors. There is good energy for interacting with friends and sharing your ideals, dreams, and hopes with like-minded individuals, although some tricky areas with these things coming in August. Today is good for sharing your ideas or your expertise with others. You might gain more clarity about or through a friend. It’s a strong time for clearing something up, and for communicating intentions.

Scorpio

You might receive special attention today, dear Scorpio, especially in a professional sense. Today brings good energy for getting over things that you need to leave behind, living in the present, and looking forward to the future, rather than dwelling on the past. Career goals can become clearer, particularly if you talk about them or write them out – verbalize them. Problem solving skills are strong. New insights into your career path, work project, or life-plan goals can emerge today. There can be an a-ha moment, an important clarification, or a meaningful realization. In recent weeks, there has been a stronger focus on learning, exploring, and experiencing life, but now your attention shifts to more material or ambitious concerns.

Sagittarius

Today is strong for gaining perspective on a matter, dear Sagittarius, and conversations that occur or news that arrives now tend to help you to come to conclusions and to solve problems. There can be a clearing of the air or an important discovery or connection made now. The desire to share your philosophy or unique perspective on a matter can be very strong now. Connect and make plans. Rationality is strong. You are ending a rather introspective phase and shifting gears now, as you enter a new cycle that can be inspiring. Good advice seems to be circulating around, and you may be the recipient or the source, and possibly both. You express yourself with more enthusiasm, and perhaps more importantly, with more faith, and this goes over very well with others, leading you to feel especially “heard” and reinforced.

Capricorn

There has been a stronger focus on relationships and balance in the past weeks, dear Capricorn, and you are now shifting your attention to deeper, more intimate matters with the Sun and Mercury now in your solar eighth house. Life is becoming a little more serious for you, and you’re more interested in digging deep than skimming the surface of things. Your intimate world assumes more importance, and you take more notice of the less obvious elements of circumstances and people around you. Today, the Sun and Mercury align in this area of your chart, and there can be a lot of thought given to, or desire /opportunity to speak about, a private, hidden, or taboo matter. You may be clearing the air now, and feeling some form of release as a result. You can reach important conclusions about a relationship or about yourself, as you see a matter more clearly. Writing about your feelings can also be highly useful, leading to important realizations.

Aquarius

Today is strong for taking a step back emotionally and really taking a good, objective look at a situation, dear Aquarius. It can be a day when a missing puzzle piece of information is discovered, or when especially meaningful conversations and conclusions happen. Good energy is with you for love relationships and partnerships today, although it’s not necessarily very deep, as it’s more about mental engagement than anything at the moment. Let others lead the conversations now, and listen closely – you may very well get an earful! Whether you are contributing ideas or playing a supportive role as you bring new light to a problem or good advice to the table, it’s a day for getting places mentally. You are now leaving a cycle in which work and routines seem to have dominated your attention, and entering a period in which social or partnering matters come into stronger focus.

Pisces

Pay special attention to the details today, dear Pisces, as you have much to gain from what you see and discover now. Communication issues tend to dominate. Good energy is with you for sorting out work and health matters in a logical manner. You can gain more clarity about either of these things today. There can be an epiphany or realization about a health issue or solution or a work or service matter. You are entering a period in which there is stronger or renewed energy for work and routines, as the Sun and Mercury are now transiting your solar sixth house. While it’s not the best time for recognition or worldly success, it’s a strong period for self-development and laying the groundwork for future success.

Your Charm for July 22nd is The Caduceus

Your Daily Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
You will find you have within you the ability to resolve all conflicts and disagreements with regard to this aspect. You will find an eloquence you did not realize before.

General Description:
The staff of Mercury was given to him by Apollo in exchange for the lyre. The rod was endowed with the remarkable power of deciding all quarrels and bestowing wonderful eloquence upon its possessor. Mercury proved this when he saw two serpents fighting. Placing the rod between them and using his eloquence he reconciled the serpents, who then embraced each other, and becoming attatched to the rod formed the caduceus. The pine cone is credited with health giving power, and the wings symbolize speed and the flight of thoughts between friends. This ancient talisman was supposed to be a charm fo prospetity, rendering its possessor healthy, wealthy and wise.

Wednesday Witchery

Be bold and daring today! Expand your knowledge of the Craft by working with the planetary energies of Mercury on this multifaceted day of the week. Consider the Greco-Roman gods Mercury and Hermes and all of the many lessons they have for you. Embrace change and movement, and work on your communication techniques. Conjure up a little good luck for yourself with that Mercury dime spell. Call on Athena to inspire you to try magickal arts and crafts and to be more creative in your own spellwork and witchery.

Meditate on Odin and see what you can discover about him. I wonder what sort of fabulous and fascinating magickal wisdom you will uncover? Odin is a shaman, after all; he may appear in many guises and faces. I guarantee that he will make you laugh at yourself before he is through with you, but you will learn. It’s up to you what you do with that knowledge. Will you let it shapeshift into wisdom?

Wednesday is the wild and wily day of the week, so try to go with the flow; don’t fight the quirky energies of the day. Most importantly, follow your heart, and always keep a good sense of humor, because of Wednesdays you will really need it.

Your Daily Charm for July 15th is The Caduceus

Your Daily Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
You will find you have within you the ability to resolve all conflicts and disagreements with regard to this aspect. You will find an eloquence you did not realize before.

Daily Magickal Applications for Wednesday

To the Romans, this day was called Dies Mercurii, or “Mercury’s day” Mercury was a popular character in the Roman pantheon. A messenger of the gods, he presided over commerce, trade, and anything that required skill or dexterity. The Celts also worshiped Mercury and eventually equated him with the Norse god Odin (some spelling variations on this name include Wotan, Wodin, and Wodan). In Norse mythologies, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetry and music. Interestingly enough, both Odin and Mercury were regarded as psychopomps, or the leaders of souls, in their individual mythologies.

Odin, one of the main gods in Norse mythology, was constantly seeking wisdom. He traveled the world in disguise as a one-eyed man with a long gray beard, wearing an old, beat-up hat and carrying a staff or a spear (which brings to my mind images of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings). In the Old English language, this day of Mercury evolved into Wodnes daeg, “Woden’s day,” or Wednesday.

Wednesday carries all of the planetary and magickal energies and associations of the witty and nimble god Mercury himself. Some of these mercurial traits included good communication skills, cleverness, intelligence, creativity, business sense, writing, artistic talent, trickiness, and thievery. And don’t forget all of those wise and enigmatic qualities associated with the Norse god Odin/Wodin, not to mention the goddess Athena’s contributions of music, the arts, handmade crafts, and writing. Wednesdays afford excellent opportunities for seeking wisdom, changing your circumstances, and improving your skills, be they in trade and commerce, music and art, or in communication and writing.

Daily Planet Tracker for July 13: Mercury In Cancer, Now Until July 23

Planet Tracker

Mercury in Cancer

Now Until Jul 23, 2015

Mercury is associated with intellect and Cancer with feelings. This combination offers us an opportunity to perceive and communicate our emotions more directly at this time. Conversation is likely to be more personal than usual, with a greater capacity for intimacy. However, objectivity may suffer as awareness is filtered through the powerful issues of security, family and safety.

Every astrological pattern offers its challenges and opportunities. In fact, they are really two faces of the same thing. In this case, the challenge is to articulate emotions without being overcome by them. The opportunity is to soften the separating aspects of the logical mind to connect with others in a more personal fashion.

Cancer is a water sign. The mysteries of water can not be spoken, only felt. Mercury’s passage here does not erase the rational aspects of perception, but it broadens them to include information that can not be put into words. Know that silence can be full of meaning. This time is a reminder that real listening is done with the heart, as well as with the ears.

Mercury in Cancer shows up in the charts of conservatives like Nancy Reagan, Bob Dole and Pat Boone. Prince Charles, a watery Scorpio, has met this placement with both Princess Diana and Camilla Parker Bowles.

David Duchovny and Isabella Rossellini speak with Mercury in Cancer soulfulness, as do storytellers Bill Cosby and Arlo Guthrie. Cat Stevens’ Mercury in Cancer helped lead him to Islam, while Salman Rushdie’s has led him away.

Cancer adores tradition, the home and the garden. So, it’s not surprising that food, style and do-it-yourself goddess Martha Stewart was also born with Mercury in this sign.

What Do The Stars Have In Store For You, Your Weekly Astrology Report for July 13 thru 19

Weekly Astrology: July 13 – 19, 2015

It’s anything but smooth this week!

Break out the big guns because while family matters may shine for you this week, communication will be dicey in the romance department! It’s not going to be pretty. Read all about it!

Monday, July 13: Mercury trine Neptune

On Monday, Mercury will trine Neptune and you may think you’re starting the week off in a way that is too good to be true…

Tuesday, July 14: Venus in Leo square Saturn

Enjoy the dreamy mental state while you have it because by Tuesday, Venus will square off with Saturn and you might feel an extraordinary level of tension between you and your partner. You’re not feeling the love for some reason, and it’s quite possible that your mate simply doesn’t have the ability to give you what you want right now.

Wednesday, July 15: New Moon in Cancer; Mars opposite Pluto; Mercury opposite Pluto

On Wednesday, a New Moon in Cancer does suggest a glorious opportunity for a fresh start in a domestic or real estate matter. You may hear news from a relative during this time but if so, your reaction will be unpredictable. That’s because Mars and Mercury will also oppose Pluto on this day.

Thursday, July 16: Mercury conjunct Mars

On Thursday, Mercury will conjunct Mars. You might feel as if you have to fight and argue with all of your might in order to turn the page on a family situation. Or, it’s possible that the new beginning in your family life has to do with clearing the air with one of your relatives. It might pinch just a little more than you’d like, but family is worth it.

Saturday, July 18: Venus enters Virgo

Finally on Saturday, Venus enters Virgo — but next week she’ll turn retrograde. Now it’s time to re-assess the value of a relationship. Is it productive in your life or does it set up a feeling of you doing all the work and sacrifice without any reward? You might begin to second guess whether or not a potential relationship is ever going to be what you want it to be. Perhaps there’s a lesson about accepting less-than-perfect conditions. Love is messy — but worth it.

Pulling a little Wednesday color magic into your life by wearing purples or orange

Using the charming scent of lily of the valley to improve your memory, or working with the aspen tree for communication

Calling on Athena, patron of arts and crafts, for inspiration for a new project

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 7th

Aries

The day can be very busy on a mental level, dear Aries, but is not necessarily a time when people are acting from the heart. You might also be living in the mind more than usual, and you can be quite communicative and/or thoughtful. The Moon enters your sign shortly after midday, and you might feel like doing something entirely new. You can suddenly feel the need for more movement and interaction after a couple of days of preferring to be in the background. There is a somewhat competitive edge to the energy of the latter part of the day, but aim to work with it instead of against it by allowing competition or criticism to motivate you to improve, for best results. If there are financial or business-related blocks, use these to make refinements to plans. While it can feel like a one step forward, two steps back kind of energy, you are likely gaining more than you realize.

Taurus

You might be thinking a lot today, dear Taurus, with money or personal possessions on your mind, as well as relationship matters. Even so, it’s best to weigh options rather than engage in major decision-making when it comes to these matters. Negotiations may not satisfy, as it can be difficult to reach genuine understandings. The Moon moves into your privacy sector shortly after noon, and this can turn your attention to behind the scenes. It can also bring on a stronger need for solitude or rest. Later today, there may be a concern that brings you down to reality or a minor but challenging predicament. With Mercury set to change signs as early as tomorrow afternoon, your interests are likely to change soon.

Gemini

Gemini

You can feel a great need to communicate, think, and live in the head today, dear Gemini. However, you could end up spending too much time on matters that are moot or on things that will not be a concern for long. Work concerns, vague health complaints, or a difficult decision may be part of the latter part of the day. However, friends and networking efforts can be comforting and inviting. Avoid over-thinking now. Personal interests and concerns are likely to change tomorrow, with Mercury entering your solar second house and turning your attention to business, development, and matters of finances and security.

Cancer

There is a strong tendency to want to examine and make sense of matters from the past today, dear Cancer. If you haven’t finalized something, you could feel a little bit of pressure to do so now, but decisions shouldn’t be rushed. In fact, tomorrow your interests are likely to change, possibly dramatically. After spending an unusually long time in your privacy sector, Mercury will move into your sign tomorrow afternoon. You’ll begin to feel more confident about decisions and choices, you’ll be thinking in future, forward terms. Right now, focus on making adjustments rather than making bold moves. Avoid speaking too soon about something, as you may experience some remorse about it later on.

Leo

The first half of the day is likely quite busy, and is good for meeting people or gathering ideas or inspiration from friends or networking activities, dear Leo. The Moon moves into your adventure and learning sector shortly after midday, and it can feel easier to express yourself or to find fulfilment on an emotional level. Later today, you could be alerted to a need for improving or adjusting something you thought was already complete, or there could be vague disappointments or waning of motivation for something you’ve been working on/towards. Try not to overthink things. Concerns of today may dissolve away tomorrow.

Virgo

There can be some gains or good news experienced with career or with people in authority today, dear Virgo. However, later today there could be second thoughts that keep you from coming to a solid conclusion and might even nag at you enough to interfere with your enjoyment of the day, but only if you let them! Goals, ideas, decisions, and projects may suddenly feel overwhelming or could seem a little less “doable”. However, this is temporary, and you might simply need to change your plans or adjust time expectations. Don’t worry if something is stumping you – sometimes pausing gives you a chance to notice errors you may have overlooked otherwise.

Libra

There is strong mental energy with you today, dear Libra. You can feel quite hopeful about the future. You might be analyzing or weighing the pros and cons of taking a trip, learning something new, or taking a course. You can feel strongly about a particular belief or opinion, and feel compelled to speak up. Later today, there could be some concerns or worries, possibly as the realities of costs or time constraints make themselves known. Watch for speaking about a matter prematurely, especially publicly.

Scorpio

You could be quite thoughtful today, dear Scorpio, as you tend to go over recent events and analyze your feelings and relationships now. Conversations tend to be a little more detached now, as there is a tendency to live in our minds today. This can be helpful for addressing issues that we might typically not pursue, with a healthy level of objectivity. If thinking about things turns into ruminating, however, it may be better to let things go. There may be a situation later today that requires cutting your losses and moving forward, but fortunately, interests are likely to change tomorrow, and you can be feeling considerably more positive.

Sagittarius

There can be a strong tendency to think about, clarify, and talk about your relationships today, dear Sagittarius. This can also be experienced as a tendency for a partner to want to talk things through with you. There is more objectivity now, but not necessarily as strong a connection with our hearts as our minds, so keep that in mind. Your instincts to wait out a certain decision are apt to be correct later today. Even though you may feel confident, others around you seem to be resistant and wary of new ideas. You typically don’t have a problem going your own way, but you also know that if you wait, moving forward will be easier with others’ support.

Capricorn

There can be a lot of talk or thinking on matters of work and health today, dear Capricorn. It’s not especially easy to arrive at final conclusions or to achieve crystal clarity, so try not to overthink things, but do weigh pros and cons now. Interests are likely to shift tomorrow. The Moon moves into your sector of home and family shortly after midday, turning your attention to personal matters. Later today, communication may be blocked in some way, and you are less likely to share your ideas, possibly second-guessing them. Try to keep a healthy perspective. Sometimes you get so close to a situation that you worry far too much.

Aquarius

Aquarius

You may be thinking a lot about creative projects, children, or romantic relationships today, dear Aquarius, and you’re inclined to try to make sense of things, look for clear answers to problems, and entertain possibilities. You’re more inclined to think and process than follow your heart right now. Shortly after midday, the Moon moves into your communications zone, adding even more mental energy to the mix. Later today, however, it can be challenging satisfying your hunger for clear answers. Tomorrow, interests are likely to take a sharp turn, so don’t strain yourself with overthinking now.

Pisces

You are inclined to think a lot about an issue today, dear Pisces, but may not be any better off for it by the end of the day. It may be better to have a conversation in your head rather than in person first, then express yourself, if it’s still a good idea, once you have considered all the possibilities. There can be a lot of focus on home and family or personal matters now, although your focus is shifting now. Later today, a difference of opinion may be frustrating, but is probably not worth your time and effort to discuss.

Your Weekly Astrology Report for July 6 – 12, 2015

This week will be like a roller coaster, so buckle up and get ready for the ride!

Monday, July 6: Sun opposite Pluto

On Monday the Sun will oppose Pluto, making it a red-flag day for power struggles in relationships. You may want the upper hand just as much as someone else in your life when it comes to a specific situation. In the end, you can either choose to play tug of war until one of you is exhausted or you can take the high road and compromise.

Wednesday, July 8: Mercury enters Cancer; Mars in Cancer trine Neptune

On Wednesday, Mercury enters Cancer where he’ll remain until July 23. Communication will be centered much more on domestic concerns and you may actually enjoy talking to your family more these days. This will be a great time to plan a fun gathering where you and your clan can eat, drink and be merry. Your memory may also kick into high gear during this time and that will certainly make you smile.

Mars (also in Cancer) will also trine Neptune on this day, allowing you to put emotionally-charged action into the pursuit of an important dream. Your faith in your ability to get ahead will be strong on this day, so use it well!

Sunday, July 12: Sun in Cancer square Uranus

On Sunday, the Sun will square off with Uranus. You might have a battle of wills within yourself. You may want to break free from a pattern that you feel you have been tied to due to your upbringing or heritage. Paving a new way is indicated but you are likely to encounter resistance along the way.
