Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Friday, July 3rd

Get A Jump on Tomorrow…..

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 3rd

by Rick Levine

The cosmos offers us a chance to synthesize recent experiences as the Moon flies into conceptual Aquarius at 8:20 am EDT. We finally have enough time to breathe deeply and consider the larger context of our lives. Meanwhile, chatty Mercury forms a cooperative sextile with giant Jupiter, turning the simplest conversations into philosophical discussions. Although communication is essential, we can wait to put our words into action. No hurry, no worry.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re relieved by the realization that the potential for positive change outweighs your fear of the unknown. You still don’t know what to expect even if you’re busy anticipating all the best-case scenarios. Events continue to unfold rapidly and you believe you must respond to them right away. Nevertheless, you have more time than you think, so give yourself permission now to experience the excitement without trying to figure everything out. Ironically, you will find your answers about the future by living in the present.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re naturally more comfortable when you know exactly where every twist and turn will take you on the road ahead. Unfortunately, you’re likely to grow anxious if you’re unable to describe all the changes occurring in your life now. Luckily, you have a fantastic opportunity to envision your ideal world without the pressure of having to make your visions come true today. Temporarily set your most concrete goals aside and let your imagination guide you gently into the future. You can’t achieve it until you dream it.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You can see farther into the distance today, but your perceptions of reality might not be as accurate as you think. Your enthusiasm is projected onto your surroundings while mischievous Mercury connects with jovial Jupiter, prompting you to imagine positive outcomes to complicated situations before you have all the facts in place. Be sure to explore the shadows, since trouble will surely surface later on if you ignore the subtleties. Investigate all the angles and then head in the direction of your chosen future. Making the most informed decisions possible vastly improves your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Coordinating your natural desire for emotional security with your current career goals might require additional analysis. At first, you may resist risking your comfort in order to make progress at work. But feeling vulnerable isn’t as frightening as the thought of missing a rare opportunity to get ahead. Even if the circumstances aren’t as ideal as you wish, you still won’t be able to forgive yourself if you don’t give your dreams your best shot now. No apologies, no regrets.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your social network is in the midst of change, yet letting go of unhealthy relationships isn’t as messy as you might expect. Your interests are shifting and a new acquaintance may reflect your current dreams better than an old one. Rather than fearfully clinging to the past, embrace the exciting potential that’s around the next bend. Just remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition; you can make improvements without necessarily upsetting those who have your happiness at heart.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your growing excitement over an innovative idea may cause you to lose track of your feelings today as cerebral Mercury aligns with ingenious Uranus and opportunistic Jupiter. Your current emotional detachment helps you think more clearly while visualizing your future, but over-analyzing a decision can also alienate you from your heart. Pay attention to the facts, but don’t forget to delve deeper to uncover your true desires. Sometimes the most obvious choice isn’t the one that leads to happiness.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your playful mood frees you from the weighty issues that have been lingering on your mind. The quirky Aquarius Moon is drifting through your 5th House of Creativity, intensifying your desire to express yourself more freely. Enjoy your newly found intellectual independence and explore all the different methods you can use to communicate your enthusiasm. However, without a touch of self-restraint you could easily end up wasting time on one unrealistic idea after another, leading you around in circles. Just remember that applying a small dose of caution greatly improves your game.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Relationships with friends and relatives are in the process of transformation because your personal freedom is exceptionally valuable to you now and you’re not likely to compromise it away. Although it’s not in your best interest to walk out on your obligations; you just don’t want anyone to assume that you’ll simply show up on demand. If you want others to respect your boundaries today, you must be willing to state them as clearly as possible. Thankfully, you can express your needs now without triggering any awkward feelings if you’re willing to be transparent.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Others a

re pushing your buttons, requiring you to take a stand today and announce your position. Luckily, people are more likely to truly hear your message while philosophical Jupiter plays wing man to communicator Mercury in your 7th House of Partners. One of your greatest strengths is that you almost always see the glass half full rather than half empty. Your overall attitude is more crucial than the choices you must make now, so don’t diminish your power by suddenly harboring self-doubt. Ironically, it was Helen Keller who said, “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your unwavering courage inspires people to support you on your path to success. Your unwillingness to acknowledge the possibility of defeat has more of a positive impact on others now than you realize, making it nearly impossible for anyone to spread negativity in your presence. But don’t let your optimism blind you to the facts or your allies will lose faith in your ability to make sensible judgments. Luckily, you can be confident in your convictions without slipping into denial if you put the truth above everything else.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re not in the market for approval from others now; you only seek their acknowledgment and respect. Fortunately, the evocative Moon’s visit to your sign empowers you with clarity and encourages you to share your feelings. There’s no reason to worry about someone’s possible reaction today, for the truth of your words will stand on their own merit. Be genuine and speak from your heart; you will be accepted for your unique contribution by those who matter most.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe your dreams are slipping away today as the reflective Moon disappears into your 12th House of Secrets. However, the possibility of turning your unfulfilled desires into reality is still growing, even if you’re not aware of it in the present moment. Nevertheless, you might indulge yourself with a meandering detour through your favorite fantasies. Letting go of your hopes is not the right solution; use your fertile imagination to create the future you want, instead.

Must Dos for Wednesdays

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 Weekly Karma Forecast for June 28 through July 4

Weekly Forecast: June 28 – July 4, 2015

a message from Kelly M. Beard

To read more of Kelly’s insight, please visit her website, www.KarmicTools.com

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.

Weekly Forecast: June 28 – July 4, 2015

6/29 ~ Venus (relationships) ~trine~ Uranus (unique):

This energy is likely to bring a little excitement into your life, one way or another. This is a good time to do something different; shake up your routine. Seek out diversions; try something new! Relationships will have an unusual energy to them; an established relationship may sparkle with some extra “spice” or a new relationship begun under this energy will be stimulating, unusual and probably short-lived. Use this energy to soak up some good energy from those who live on the fringes!

7/1 ~ Venus (values) ~conjunct~ Jupiter (truth):

This is an extremely powerful energy that makes you very mentally “present” to the fact that both your values and your truth are shifting. You can connect to material abundance. This is usually a pleasant shift because it is about expanding your sense of authentic beauty, as in nature, and the interrelatedness of all living things. There is an energy of enthusiasm around new or growing relationships which attracts more positive energy. This is the best time to create and “expect miracles”!

7/1 ~ Sun (authenticity) ~trine~ Neptune (intuition):

This energy triggers your idealistic side and provokes a desire to understand things on a deeper, more spiritual level. Try to use this energy to reflect on where you are and where you want to be, mentally, spiritually and physically. Take time to meditate and be still, quiet and alone. You may feel compelled to do things today that have no direct benefit for you; finding satisfaction in giving. Just be sure to ‘help those who help themselves’. Your intuition is heightened also, so pay attention to any ‘messages’ that come thru to you.

7/2 ~ Mercury (acumen) ~sextile~ Uranus (the Awakener):

This energy says, it’s time to go with the flow – “new and different” being the flow. It wants to shake it up a bit – in a good way. However, if you feel like new and different is more like chaos and disruption, then you need to reflect and see if you aren’t being too rigid. Unwillingness to go with the (new) flow will make this energy harder to handle. This is also a good time to try to resolve any old issues or challenges – they are not going away without resolution and conscious release. Perhaps you’ve been trying the same thing over and over and it’s time to try something NEW – now is the time new ideas will come to you. Pay attention! Try to be open and receptive to unusual things, events or ideas; allow spontaneity. You may think you are doing one thing and look up and being doing something completely different – be open to exploring the new path!

7/3 ~ Mercury (your voice) ~sextile~ Jupiter (expansion):

This energy can make you focus on the larger issues in your life. Your dreams are tapping you on the shoulder, demanding some attention. Mundane issues do not concern you, you want to figure out how to create the life you’ve been imagining. This energy also provokes within you the understanding that being generous naturally attracts generosity to you (and your cause). You’re focused on the big picture and overall patterns which have lead you to this point. Feeling clear, sharp, alert and optimistic, your realize that anything you can imagine, you can achieve.

Your Daily Charm for June 26th 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.

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.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 9th

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 9th

Aries

Today’s energies favor pleasant conversations and cooperation, dear Aries. There can be a rather sudden awareness that you need some time to yourself, and while you’re especially motivated to get things done, don’t ignore your need for down time. We are approaching a Mercury station, which can bring some challenges when it comes to being understood, but later today, the general intent is positive and cooperative, so it’s important to pay more attention to gestures than specific words chosen to express ourselves. There can be a pleasant feeling of devotion to a person, fantasy, or the idea of love today, and this can inspire creative works or ideas.

Taurus

While the first half of the day can be somewhat temperamental, dear Taurus, there is generally good energy for warm, affectionate conversations and overtures. Surprising news may be part of it. There is particularly nice energy for combining friends and family or home life in pleasing ways, and for having an especially positive faith in the people you care about and domestic matters in general. You are more idealistic than usual, and happily, most people around you are unlikely to burst your bubble. Happiness is natural and easy, as it’s coming from within.

Gemini

Life can be hectic in many ways today, dear Gemini, and you can find some obstacles to your personal plans, but fortunately your mood is surprisingly peaceful at heart now so that you are far more tolerant of problems. A warm communication might occur now that boosts your spirits and makes you feel understood or cared for. Your sensitivities are heightened now, and you can be especially creative in your work or projects. Artistic achievement is favored. Mercury is approaching a direct station in your sign, so that it’s important to take more time to digest events and ideas in the coming few days.

Cancer

Tensions in the first half of the day are very likely to be resolved, and quite satisfyingly at that, in the second half, dear Cancer. This morning, you may be wrestling with restlessness and unsure of where to direct your energy. Don’t allow restlessness to rule you or to choose your mood for you. As the day advances, you can find very creative ways to satisfy a desire for safety and comfort, as well as the need to feel more adventurous and experience different things. There is good energy for making, spending, or sorting out money, taking care of valuables, as well as for a feeling of abundance.

Leo

If you’ve been ignoring your needs for deep connections, intimacy, or time to yourself recently, you’ll feel the imbalance today, dear Leo. As much as you enjoy and benefit from friendly interactions, emotionally you’re craving a little more. As the day progresses, you’re likely to come to peace with someone, and also with yourself, as your emotions smooth out. In fact, you are able to find creative ways to express your feelings and to connect with others. There may be compliments or other shows of appreciation coming your way. You might attract an admirer.

Virgo

If you’ve been too busy to really spend time with a significant other or friend recently, dear Virgo, today you’ll feel the lack and you are likely to be quite anxious to make things right. It’s not easy to find that balance, however, as you can be pulled in different directions. It may be difficult to understand a partner or a job requirement, as messages you are receiving are unclear and conflicting right now. As the day advances, though, life remains busy but you’re more likely to let go of the tendency to overthink. There is very good energy for finding creative ways to satisfy your various needs and spend time with others. You can be especially gracious, and a partner or special person can be especially comforting and accepting.

Libra

Today and the next few days can be somewhat challenging if you’re looking for clear facts or conversations, dear Libra, with Mercury approaching a direct station. However, today is wonderful for imagination, and if you pay closer attention to the intentions of the messages you’re receiving, you’ll find people are really quite cooperative. Avoid premature decisions, but enjoy the opportunities of the day, as you’re likely to get quite close to a friend or associate. While the morning can present a conundrum involving responsibilities, as the day progresses, you can find wonderful ways to satisfy your need to set things straight and tend to work, as well as your desire to socialize and network.

Scorpio

There can be some tension that results from a conflict between your will and your emotions with a Last Quarter Moon occurring just before noon today, dear Scorpio. Today and in the next few days, try to give in to the idea that you won’t get the whole picture now, and let go. Matters will reveal themselves to you soon, and you don’t have to push anything. This can be a real load off your back! As the day advances, the pace is likely quite busy, but more pleasantly so. There is very creative energy that ties your sector of romance and entertainment with your sector of career and responsibility. You may feel freer to express yourself through your work, or your more playful side to others.

Sagittarius

If emotions are being released in spurts, or if you are not expressing yourself confidently, then your outbursts may be confusing to others, dear Sagittarius. Although we’re often encouraged to express our feelings, it’s sometimes kinder to ourselves and others if we sort out some of the less evolved ones on our own before releasing them. The Last Quarter Moon this morning can stimulate a strong need for comfort and groundedness, but others are also drawing you out, so you’ll have to find a balance. As the day advances, though, there is better energy for finding comfortable solutions, particularly as you may be able to satisfy the desire for familiarity as well as adventure in creative ways. A nice message or conversation can take place that puts you right at ease.

Capricorn

Responsibilities to others or to your work can seem to clash with a sudden and strong need to explore your own interests or have an overdue conversation, dear Capricorn. While you can have a bit of a struggle trying to juggle too many activities, you’re also likely to find creative ways to tend to a variety of needs by combining them or adjusting your expectations of each. There can be a very lovely, accepting, and healing conversation or discovery of a more intimate or personal nature today. Diplomacy can help an important sale or advance today.

Aquarius

Relationships may be a little puzzling in the first half of the day, dear Aquarius. Your feelings may not be see-sawing, but your fears or worries may very well be. Money matters may also be an issue or cause for some concern. Even so, there is powerful energy for finding creative ways to satisfy a variety of seemingly conflicting needs. You can find ways to take risks or to enjoy yourself that don’t leave you feeling spent or overly indulgent. There is also beautiful energy for coming to an understanding with a partner or significant person. This can be due to a sense of shared values or respect for differing ones. There is more acceptance in the energy of the day that becomes you. This is a strong time generally for personal appeal and solutions to relating problems that are much more than just cosmetic.

Pisces

People are especially amenable today, dear Pisces, and health or work can be pleasing. You are able to relax sufficiently to let your guard down. You are seeing more beauty in family, work, or simply circumstances around you, and life through this “lens” is more entertaining. You are imaginative by nature, but today this is enhanced, and can be in full force when it comes to finding different ways to enjoy your daily life. It’s a wonderful time to beautify your surroundings. It’s also a strong day for personal appeal.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of June 8th

by Maria DeSimone

Enjoy the boost in sexual energy Mars is planning on giving you this week! On Tuesday, he’ll be at a perfect angle to Uranus giving you the guts to make a non-conventional move in order to ensure your needs are met. Then on Sunday, he’ll connect with the Sun helping you continue this bravado. On Thursday, Mercury finally turns direct helping to improve communication between you and your love. Finally on Sunday, Saturn re-enters Scorpio for a few weeks to give his final test in matters of intimacy and shared resources. Are you ready to pass?

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A conversation with your sweetheart on Monday or Wednesday can light up your life so pay attention! He or she may have an idea that you find extra stimulating. Do your best to be patient though since it’s not likely he or she will be able to get anything off the ground until after Thursday. Are you married or in a committed partnership? You may have a few loose ends to tie up financially with your mate after Sunday. Don’t ignore them.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Just when you thought your lessons in relationship matters were over, it appears that the Universe has other plans. This Sunday, Saturn, the planet of commitment and limitation, will re-enter your partnership sector to activate this part of your life with constriction once more. Until September 17, it’ll be your job to fix any weak links between you and your partner or decide whether or not what you have is beyond repair. If single, you might be ready to make a commitment to someone special.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Finally, your clarity will return! This Thursday, Mercury, your ruling planet, will turn direct after having been retrograde in your sign for the last couple of weeks. You might have noticed that communication matters between you and your partner have been very frustrating lately. Either your mate doesn’t seem to understand what you’re trying to convey or they simply aren’t listening. Now, you’ll be able to rectify things and express yourself in a way that your love can respond to.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Defining what you want and deserve in matters of the heart will become an area of focus once more. On Sunday, Saturn will re-enter your true love sector after having kissed it goodbye in late December 2014. Now and until September 17, you’ll have an opportunity to put what you’ve learned between 2012 and 2014 to the test when it comes to romance. Opening your heart may not be easy but it’s certainly worth it! Are you ready?

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might reconsider whether or not to start dating someone you met recently online or through a friend. It’s possible that you’ve been receiving mixed messages from this person over the last couple of weeks and if so, you’ve started to question whether or not he or she is really into you. On Wednesday, you may hear from this person and whatever that conversation entails, it may leave you with a renewed sense of hope. Give it another go!

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your lover might be instrumental this week in helping you figure out whether or not you should make a certain career move you’re considering. Another possibility, is that you’re thinking about approaching your boss or another VIP and pitching an idea that you’re certain will impress him or her. Be sure to talk to your sweetheart about your plans first — on Wednesday if possible. He or she will help you prepare for that important conversation and you’ll be ready for it next week.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You and your partner might begin an exciting new adventure together this week. It might have to do with exploring another part of the world, but it can just as easily have to do with an intellectual pursuit the two you initiate. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you’ll have plenty of energy to collaborate with your mate on something that you find inspiring and mind expanding. Make it unique and make it count!

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your life is about to become defined. It appears that you’re ready to take on a new personal responsibility and it might involve a relationship. Any commitment you make after Sunday and through September 17 with someone will likely stand the test of time. In addition, you’ll feel a heavy sense of obligation to this person — along with enduring love. A mature outlook on your place in a relationship is likely. Look at you … all grow up!

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

After Thursday, whatever comes out of your partner’s mouth will begin to make sense again. He or she may have been talking a lot of gibberish over the last few weeks while Mercury was retrograde in your relationship sector. Or, it’s possible that the two of you could not come to an agreement about any matter, whether it was major or minor. You might have felt frustrated during this time, but there’s good news. After this week, positive communication will resume.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might work on improving your health this week so that you can also improve the quality of your sex life. If things in the bedroom have been less than fulfilling due to a lack of libido or stamina, pay attention. This is the perfect time to reassess how factors like your diet, quality of sleep or a possible health condition might contribute to your overall dissatisfaction. The good news? You can turn it around, starting now.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If an ex-lover recently came back into the picture asking for a second chance, you might have been very confused about what to do. On the one hand, things didn’t work out for a reason and you wonder if that reason is still going to be a factor if the two of you give it another go. On the other hand, the mutual chemistry you shared never exactly went away. Wait until after Thursday before making up your mind. You’ll gain perspective by then.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your fantasy life and imagination is about to switch gears and in your case, it’ll probably help you out with relationship matters. You won’t feel the need to project unrealistic fairy tale notions onto your partner after Friday. In fact, you might even gain a more substantial perspective of what your love relationship is really all about. That’s right Pisces, this week the rose colored glasses will come off. Do you like what you see?

Astrology of Today – May 29, 2015

Summary:

There can be some very necessary indecision today, particularly early on with Mercury and Neptune forming a square. Early on the 31st, the Sun will form a square to Neptune as well, and Venus will form a sesquiquadrate to Neptune. These aspects can be temporarily disorienting if we’ve been overlooking our spiritual, creative, and imaginative needs, as we can feel some discontent and uncertainty. This slowdown is confusing at first, but necessary as it gives us a chance to discover what we may have been missing. It’s a difficult time to get clarity, and if we push too hard in this respect, it can be a discouraging time. However, we might consider that solid, definite answers are not necessary for us at the moment. Letting go of the need to control, itemize, and rationalize just a little can help us tremendously at this time.

Later today, influences that stir creativity and resourcefulness involve Mercury biquintile Pluto and both bodies quintile Vesta, as well as a trine between Mercury and Ceres. There can be dedication to, or renewed interest in, a project or topic. Research can be effective.

The Moon is in Libra all day (until Saturday, May 30th, at 5:33 AM).
The Moon is void from 4:20 PM forward (until 5:33 AM tomorrow).
The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter phase until 4:06 PM / in its Waxing Gibbous phase from 4:06 PM forward).
Mercury is retrograde. (Mercury is retrograde from May 18 to June 11 in the sign of Gemini).

Astrology of Today – May 26, 2015

Summary:

The Moon is in busy Virgo all day, and with Mercury and Mars moving towards an alignment, we’ll be especially motivated to get things done. However, we can be a little critical or insensitive in our communications now.

The Moon is in Virgo all day (until Wednesday, May 27th, at 5:41 PM).
The Moon is void from 10:21 PM forward (until 5:41 PM tomorrow).
The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter phase.
Mercury is retrograde. (Mercury is retrograde from May 18 to June 11 in the sign of Gemini).

18th/19th May – 11th/12th June 2015: Mercury Retrograde in Gemini

a message from Sarah Varcas
To read more of Sarah’s insight, please visit her site, Awakenings, Intuitive Astrology for Heart and Soul

A Universe Born of Its Own Design

Mercury stations retrograde at 1:44 am on 19th May GMT, and remains in its own sign, Gemini, throughout its retrograde passage. Practically speaking, this is an inquisitive Mercury, seeking information and answers, reviewing events of the past three months, wondering about relationships and connections with others and generally taking stock and sorting through unfinished business. It efficiently clears the decks of outstanding matters, enabling positive progress in the months to come. Of course, that also means current misunderstandings will need to be addressed in the coming weeks whether we like it or not! It may be a hassle at the time, frustrating our desire for progress, but if we commit to sorting through the chaos and getting things back on track now we’ll make up what felt like lost time, in due course. If, however, we try to battle on, ignoring the increasingly obvious signs that something somewhere is going awry, we can be absolutely certain that once Mercury turns direct again we’ll wish we’d listened better to its warnings and done what was needed back then!

Mercury’s retrograde station occurs opposite The Great Attractor. This anomalous point in space is the ultimate in seduction, drawing us towards and beyond it whether we like it or not. The Great Attractor reminds us that in a world of infinite possibilities all things must both repel and attract each other at some point in their cycle of becoming. Just as children can be repulsed by foods they enjoy as adults, and the ‘love of our life’ can become our most ardent enemy when the tides of passion turn, the existence of polarity is central to the very nature of being. We must know the extremes to find the balance that allows wholeness, entertain possibilities that before seemed too outlandish to be true, discard what once meant the world to us and be prepared to release even the very facets of our nature that previously made us who we are. The Great Attractor is our portal to the future, born of the deepest contradictions which may paralyse us in the present.

We cannot resist The Great Attractor (hence its name!) but we can surrender to its intensity of extremes, allowing its contradictions and profound paradoxes to penetrate our every cell until we know them as the very tension which animates life itself. In its darkest depths we encounter fate, those things we simply cannot change, a certain quality of being we cannot escape. Mercury’s opposition to this point as it turns retrograde poses the question ‘What do we do when we can’t change a thing? What does it mean to live a life shaped by powers beyond our reckoning?’. Whilst the practice of astrology reveals the deeply creative role we have in the weaving of our life’s fabric, The Great Attractor reminds us we are still the tiniest pin prick on the surface of a relatively small planet in one of hundreds of solar systems swirling through infinite space! Sometimes, it reminds us, life just does what it does, unfolds as it must and we simply have to deal with it!

It may all sound rather negative and resigned: not what we want to hear. Which is precisely the point. The very fact we don’t want to hear it is why Mercury is shouting it loud and clear right now: there is still so much we simply don’t know. Infinite knowledge is not in our grasp. We are not the architects of this awesome universe but instead a small part of it. As much as we yearn for control, the heavens remind us now some things are simply beyond our authority and wasting time and energy trying to influence them may have caused us to take our eye off the ball in recent months.

Time now to get to grips with what is rather than what we think should be, especially when it comes to relationships. In the coming weeks Mercury highlights what we simply cannot control: responses received from others; decisions made by those we love which turn our world upside down; misunderstandings which seem to arise out of ‘thin air’ simply because you and I are two different people; dynamics sensed immediately upon meeting someone which bear no ‘rational’ explanation: ‘you creep me out’, ‘I like you’, ‘I want to get to know you better’, ‘I hope our paths never cross again’. All point to the unavoidable consequence of life doing what it does: the interplay of our energy with that of another, creating outcomes beyond our control. No matter how hard we try to elicit the result we want – tying ourselves in knots of avoidance and denial in the process – there are no guarantees. Life now calls for living truthfully in the present, not with guile to create an imagined future. Speak the truth. Say it as it is and make doing that our purpose, no matter the outcome.

Contrary to popular belief about power and powerlessness, recognising the limits of our own influence is profoundly liberating. In doing so we can simply stop trying to shape what refuses to be moulded by anything other than its own nature. There is a deep and nourishing peace at the heart of The Great Attractor when we simply allow it to draw us in and have its way. For its way is our way eventually. Through our very acceptance of what we cannot change we become a living, breathing reflection of the creator spirit, not resisting its expression but accepting it as a force of greater intelligence than the ‘little me’ who always thinks it knows best. Once aligned with fate as an active participant there is nothing we cannot be or do, for all that is asked of us is who and what we already are.

This current period of Mercury retrograde will reveal much about what we can change and what is simply the fundamental nature of life, of ourselves and other people. By its end we will know what is and isn’t up for debate. We may well feel resistant to this revelation, but resistance doesn’t mean we’re right and the universe needs to shape up and get with the programme! It means we’re being too small in our outlook, too confident of our power in a cosmos which unfurls constantly, revealing ever deeper recesses of infinite space. There is still SO MUCH for us to know. We are mere ‘new borns’ in the infinity of creation. Only in celebrating that fact can we be open enough to receive ever more profound revelations of truth when it is time. The burgeoning Age of Aquarius is not the destination, the culmination of aeons of development, it is merely a way-station on an endless journey of becoming, a revelation of a new way to live and love, a new mode of existence. In cosmic terms it is still a lower rung of a very long ladder stretching into endless space about which we know next to nothing. Being alive at the shift of ages can lead us to believe we have arrived. In fact we are still on the starting blocks, preparing for the off in a very long race.

The Great Attractor polarises all things, including ourselves. It offers the objective and subjective and bids us choose which perspective we prefer. Either way the opposite is also true. Behind all of this polarity lies the future, born of the creative tension of opposites and similarities interwoven throughout our lives. As Mercury travels retrograde in the coming weeks we have a chance to view those polarities, to encounter paradox and contradiction, different perspectives in the same space of one relationship and honour them for what they are: the fertile seeds of the future, not problems to be resolved into beige blandness of a uni-dimensional view.

If we’ve swept discord under the carpet, said ‘yes’ when we felt ‘no’, committed ourselves when our spirit yearned for freedom, now is the time to do the opposite and reveal the truth. But in doing so we must accept that the choices we make may have consequences we cannot control. Each decision carries its own power, unleashed when we make it, thrust forth to live a life all of its very own. This is how doing the ‘right’ thing can sometimes ‘backfire’ and doing the ‘wrong’ thing can get us exactly where we need to be. The power to choose is ours, then the roller- coaster begins, fuelled not only by our own desire, but also that of the universe: the force of becoming which propels our lives through time and space in ways we have yet to understand.

The future is born of each moment. We are its creators and its subjects, thrown hither and thither by influences beyond our control. Such is the paradox at the heart of the human condition: we have enormous creative power but may lack influence over our creation. This is The Great Attractor at work, offering the freedom of self determination with no guarantees. As Mercury retrogrades through Gemini their combined power invites us to claim our creative potential, exercise it with integrity and in doing so know that what will be will be. The most precious goal is simply to honour who we are in the moment and share ourselves honestly with life. The present moment is all we have and living it well is the best we can do. The future isn’t ours to shape but to embrace as it arises, secure in the knowledge that we rest in the arms of life itself, cradled in an infinite universe born of its own design.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 19th

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 19th

by Rick Levine

Today is the first full day of mischievous Mercury’s retrograde cycle, a time when the best of intentions go awry if we don’t have all our ducks in a row. The restless Gemini Moon joins up with Mercury to precipitate misunderstandings, making it crucial to think things through before saying something we later regret. Obstacles will fall away as another layer of reality begins to reveal itself.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your mind is racing at a million miles a minute; the thoughts go flying by so fast that you can’t hold onto any one of them. Unbeknownst to you, more is going on than you realize. It’s not time to turn a dream into reality now. Mercury’s retrograde in your 3rd House of Information gives you a chance to let your thoughts and ideas come and go at their own pace without any need to make major decisions or initiate action just yet. Explore all your alternatives and take comfort in the fact that you don’t have to choose one today.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your most ingenious money-making schemes probably look better on paper now than they do once you try to put them into motion. But don’t throw the baby out with the bath water; there may be a real jewel buried among a pile of half-crazy ideas. Keep mulling the various possibilities around in your mind. Don’t get lazy and let one go because it’s not perfect. However, getting swept up in a feeling of urgency is your biggest threat to success. Time is on your side, so let the developmental process take its own organic course.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may experience moments of dread now when you start to believe that time has run out and you’ve missed a once-in-a-lifetime chance. You are tempted to bring others into your drama today as if they might have the answer to your current dilemma. But don’t fall victim to a momentary flash of panic; instead recognize the trap of Mercury retrograde as it turns up the intensity on your analytical process. Shift your focus from the most immediate tasks to the more long-range ones. Perspective is your friend in more ways than one.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Capturing the magic of your imagination these days is a challenge worth rising to as cerebral Mercury back steps through your 12th House of Spiritual Mystery. Schedule time to meditate, dance or listen to music so you can sink beneath the superficial noise in your head and into the creative waters of your subconscious. But you may not get tangible results overnight. Establish a daily practice of quieting your thoughts so you can reach the land of enchantment anytime you want. Dreams today, reality tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The danger of thinking about the future is expecting it to arrive in the present. Your mind is so active now that it’s difficult to shut off your imagination — and the fantasies look so wonderful that you want them to come true today. Consciously take a few steps back from your own mental machinations while Mercury is retrograde in your 11th House of Goals. There’s no need to forget about your aspirations; just acknowledge that it’s healthier to treat them as dreams now rather than plans. The ones worthy of manifesting will continue to gain momentum over the next few weeks.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be frustrated by your lack of progress at work, especially if you didn’t receive that promotion or raise you wanted. You’re inclined to share your emotions with one of your colleagues, but this open communication could backfire on you. Others might even see you as overly ambitious or self-indulgent if you reveal your feelings. Don’t close down your heart, but keep it protected from needless drama. Remove the disappointment by realizing Mercury’s retrograde is in your 10th House of Career, delaying the good news for a few weeks. Don’t throw in the towel; you still can reach your goals, but not on your original timetable.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to proudly announce your plans for the next chapter of your life. You might have dreams of climbing the tallest mountain or crossing the widest desert. Or, perhaps, you’re ready to crack the books and earn the degree you’ve always wanted. However, it’s too soon to talk about your ambitions; if you do, you could unintentionally dissipate the energy. Continue working on your big adventure behind the scenes. Seek support from others only after your facts are in order and your strategy is bulletproof.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are entering a planetary power zone where your ideas carry extra weight, but the emphasis on your thoughts is not without possible pitfalls. Becoming caught in a cycle of doubt can spiral out of control unless you consciously intervene. Mercury is retrograding through your 8th House of Transformation, inviting you to reassess the efficacy of your deepest emotional patterns. Reinforce the behaviors that are working for you, but relinquish those that are not. You hold the potential for positive change in your own hands if you’re willing to let go of the past.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It might seem as if someone is picking a fight with you, but you may be extra sensitive to other people’s words today. It’s likely that you could jump to a faulty conclusion or misinterpret a message as communicator Mercury dances backward through your 7th House of Partners. Don’t be overly concerned if you find yourself having the same conversation again and again as you try to untangle a misunderstanding. Naturally, it’s even better if you are extra cautious in all conversations now to avoid trouble before it happens. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your uncharacteristic inattention to details can cause your best-laid plans to go awry now. You might have too many commitments that spread your energy too thin. Or you could just be so eager to begin a project that you make fast assumptions instead of doing the research. Don’t let your ambition get the best of you while mental Mercury is retrograding through your 6th House of Service. Building your foundation on solid facts and meticulous follow-through takes your work to the next level.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Words come easily to you today, prompting you to express your heart in a romantic manner. But you have so many wonderful visions that it’s nearly impossible to pick just one and run with it. Consequently, you may get frustrated with your inability to share your emotions. Unfortunately, your angst could even close down the flow of positive feelings. However, Mercury’s retrograde in your 5th House of Play might reignite an old flame rather than firing up a new one. It’s not important whether you are moving ahead or backward now; shine your love light wherever you go.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your hypersensitivity presents you with an irreconcilable dilemma today. You may know how someone close to you feels even before they tell you. It’s as if you can actually hear their thoughts when messenger Mercury is moving backward in your 4th House of Family. No matter how strong your psychic radar is now, it’s still crucial to check out your hunches instead of just assuming they are right. It’s a blessing to use your non-verbal antenna to tune into the emotional dynamics as long as you also initiate a conversation to validate the truth.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, May 18th

by Rick Levine

Getting back to basics is required by the pragmatic Taurus New Moon at 12:13 am EDT, but keeping things simple now is no easy task. The Moon jumps into flighty Gemini at 5:27 am, tempting us to change direction mid-stream. But her opposition to authoritative Saturn a few hours later halts us in our tracks. This stop-start-stop rhythm is accentuated when trickster Mercury turns communication inside-out during its retrograde cycle that ends June 11.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Building your nest egg is at the top of your list as the solid Taurus New Moon highlights your 2nd House of Resources. The cosmic emphasis is on your personal finances for the month ahead, so take stock of your assets and put your accounts in order. However, the judgments you make about yourself impact your earning power more than you think. You can add value to your life by considering what you have to offer to others and how they perceive you. But a one-time fix isn’t the answer today; revisit your progress regularly in the days ahead to generate the prosperity you seek.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You have a special opportunity to see yourself clearly today as the New Moon falls in your sensible sign. You have a rare chance to reevaluate how you process your emotions which can change your life for the better. But unless you act on your newly found self-awareness right away, you might slip back into old patterns. Maintaining strong protective defenses may no longer be appropriate. Your life will grow richer and more rewarding as you consciously share your vulnerabilities with those you can trust. Your heart is like other muscles; it gets stronger when you use it.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s time to uncover any thoughts you have secreted away in your subconscious mind, for some of these hidden stories can now be told. The Taurus New Moon falls in your 12th House of Privacy, yet moving emotions out of denial and into a shared reality deepens the intimacy in your relationships. Mercury’s retrograde turn might tempt you to sidestep the intensity by intellectualizing your feelings; instead, seize the moment and open your heart to those you love.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Surrounding yourself with allies seems like a natural thing to do while the Taurus New Moon activates your 11th House of Community. Spending time with a group of like-minded people happily sets the social stage for the next few weeks. However, you still might doubt your decisions today, but don’t let that stop you from following through with your initial intentions. Trust your original instincts now, push through any fears and keep moving your energy outward. The world is a better place with you in it.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although it’s your time to shine in the public eye, you may want to hide from the attention once you get it. Today’s Taurus New Moon occurs in your 10th House of Career, casting a spotlight on your professional life for weeks to come. But you might be afraid that you won’t be able to live up to everyone’s expectations once they see who you really are. A healthy amount of humility works as an asset, but your uncharacteristic self-doubt only gets in your way. Fortunately, you will stand up to the scrutiny as long as you are honest and open in you interactions with others.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are pulled in opposite directions as you attempt to be practical and philosophical at the same time. The earthy Taurus New Moon encourages you to be dependable, yet its influence on your 9th House of Big Ideas destabilizes your plans. Meanwhile, mischievous Mercury’s retrograde turn makes it tougher to resolve the opposing forces. It takes practice to keep your feet on the ground while aspiring toward the heavens. Fortunately, you can soar to new heights as long as you give yourself extra time to honor both approaches.

Mercury Shenanigans and Support

Author: Dana Mrkich

Mr Mercury doesn’t officially go Retrograde until early next week but he is already causing all kinds of electronic shenanigans with computers acting up, banking/eftpos facilities going down, phones acting strange and so on.

This is partly because we are in the Shadow period ie Mercury is traveling across the degrees he will soon seemingly ‘reverse’ over. It is also partly because he is doing all this in his home sign of Gemini which is related to Communications.
SO take extra care when emailing and texting people over the next few weeks, making sure before you press send that your message is going to the intended party! If you are writing something that is gossipy, have a think about how you would feel if the subject of your message read it – you might find yourself reconsidering sending that message and instead delete it.

With everyone’s increasing sensitivity, we can all feel thoughts and energy being sent our way even if we can’t put our finger on why we are feeling how we feel. So be mindful about what you are saying and thinking about others.

This is a great period in which to re-connect with people you haven’t seen or heard from in a while – and this will usually happen quite unexpectedly.
It is a fabulous time to go over conversations that may have happened in the past, where you need some closure or a re-negotiation of some deal or agreement.
It is an excellent time to review some project you had put on hold, brush off the dust and get back into it. Something might come back to you that you had given up hope on, or where the timing wasn’t right before.

Mercury is Retrograde 18 May-11 June, with the post-retrograde Shadow period lasting until 27 June.

Has Mercury paid you a visit already?
