Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Friday, May 2nd

Although we wish we could explore all the choices in front of us now, our resources are limited. Meanwhile, the curious Gemini Moon distracts us with one thing after another. Additionally, we are drawn to new experiences that might bring pleasure as sweet Venus enters pioneering Aries this evening. However, we are more likely to act cautiously than behave impulsively while cerebral Mercury is restricted by its tense opposition to stern Saturn.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have sent a clear message to your coworkers if you recently stood up for your values. However, you can’t rest on your laurels now; you must solidify what you already started. Although you might want to change directions, it’s not wise yet to let others in on your plans. Instead of saying what’s on your mind, it’s less complicated if you withhold your intentions until you’re certain about your new path. Make the most of your power by conserving it until you are fully ready to take action.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You probably feel as if you’re running into walls every which way you turn today because your current approach doesn’t seem to be quite good enough. Your friends might not be very supportive of your new plans now that chatty Mercury opposes naysaying Saturn in your 7th House of Others. Don’t try to talk your way around the resistance. Instead, step back and take time to further develop your ideas before trying again. Patience and persistence make for a winning combination.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Uncharacteristically, you might say yes to a social invitation out of a sense of obligation today, rather than from your desire to connect with others. However, your participation won’t be worth it if you are only stepping through the motions. Don’t let anyone push you into an extracurricular activity now unless you truly want to do it. Say no politely; everyone needs time to themselves now and then to replenish their spirits. There’s no reason to apologize for taking care of your heart.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It could be annoying if someone arrives at your doorstep today with an opportunity that appears too good to be true — because it probably is. Unfortunately, progress on any project is painstakingly slow now and nothing much will happen unless you decide to put in the extra time and energy. However, your efforts are thwarted as messenger Mercury forms an opposition with authoritative Saturn. Drag potential problems out into the open before they turn things sour, so they can be handled once and for all. Clearing the air might be a cathartic process for everyone.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you are fully capable of taking the initiative when given the chance, caution sets in now as you attempt to reestablish balance in your life. Nevertheless, you can impress others with a stellar show today. But shortcuts won’t be rewarded; it’s crucial to start at the beginning and perform each step in the correct order. Don’t waste energy stressing about deadlines since everything is likely to take longer than you expect anyway. Time is an illusion but your authenticity endures.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might experience a setback today if your current plans are overly ambitious. But don’t let your disappointment stop you from accomplishing something very real. You may need a quick refresher course in how to maintain a healthy level of confidence so you can improve your attitude. Reevaluate the practicality of your goals and if they stand up to your rigorous analysis, don’t shy away from putting in some long hours of hard work to achieve them. Success doesn’t come easily, but it’s worth the effort if you really want to make a difference.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It seems nearly impossible to circumvent authority now, so you must deal with control issues whether you like it or not. Unfortunately, you don’t appreciate being told no or having other people delay your progress. Your diplomatic charm won’t get you past the current resistance. However, engaging in an honest dialogue can set the stage for healthy compromise and a more harmonious working environment.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Relationships are hard enough on their own, yet an intense interaction with a friend or partner could make the dynamics even more complicated today. You may be vying for control now that you’re aware of the specific differences of opinion. Nevertheless, it’s not a good idea to push for resolution right away because this might lead to an emotional meltdown. Simply be as clear as possible when communicating your position and then let it go. You can still keep your heart open even if you move on.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re a natural philosopher and are eager to discuss a complex situation at work today as long as you can maintain a bit of emotional detachment. But don’t try to convince anyone of your moral superiority or you could alienate someone you would rather have as an ally. Think twice before heading toward the most intense topic possible. Instead, allow the discussion to meander without trying to manipulate the outcome. Surprisingly, you just might find yourself arriving at your destination sooner than you expect.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You bristle at the thought of someone impeding your progress and yet you might have to acquiesce to an authority who successfully wrestles the controls away from you today. You may be tempted to fight back, but it’s futile to pretend to be more informed than you actually are. Unfortunately, this kind of defensive maneuver will likely create more trouble than it’s worth. Save time for everyone involved by being completely honest from the start. It’s more productive to collaborate now than to waste energy in needless competition.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may experience unexpected panic now because you realize that time is running out and you still have lots of loose ends to tie up. Unfortunately, some things might just have to be left undone. Reset your priorities early in the day so you can stick to your plan since changing your schedule isn’t something you like to do under pressure. Don’t fight against the current circumstances; be willing to let go of your earlier expectations and move on. Adaptability is your secret weapon today.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your conservative response to financial struggles might be the most sensible approach in the moment, but it probably isn’t the best long-term solution. Tightening your belt may be necessary now because you can’t spend what you don’t have. But the problem is more complex and would benefit from a strategic attack on multiple levels. Fiscal responsibility combined with your own personal version of a stimulus package could help turn things around. Investing some money in your future can be just as important as saving it in the present.

Mercury in Taurus from April 23 to May 7, 2014

Mercury in Taurus

Give up the gab while Mercury is in earthy Taurus

Tarotcom StaffTarotcom Staff on the topics of taurus, sun, astrology

 

Get ready to give up your gift of gab — at least for a while. Chatty Mercury moves into slow-and-steady Taurus from April 23 to May 7, 2014.

Speedy Mercury, planet of communication, finds a more sturdy environment in earthy Taurus. This period is one in which solid values, concrete ideas and practical perspectives are likely to take on greater significance for all of us.

Mercury generally excels at flexibility, but Taurus is arguably the least flexible of all the zodiac signs. We may find ourselves digging in and taking rigid positions when opposed by different ideas, concepts or facts at this time. It’s vital that we not lose our ability to stay open-minded to overcome Taurean resistance to whatever is new or different.

Practicality gets things done

Ideally, Mercury in Taurus connects us with the earthy realities that will nurture the growth and development of our ideas. Taurus offers a rich soil of values and commitment that can provide resources to carry thoughts from conception to birth. Slow, careful conversations enable us to consider alternatives without ever losing sight of fundamental values and underlying practical issues.

Mercury tends to be a bit less gabby in Taurus than in most other signs. Some good examples are Johnny Depp, Clint Eastwood and Miles Davis, all born in chatty Gemini, but with communication styles reflective of their less talkative Mercury in Taurus.

Other famous Mars in Taurus names:

Singers — Taurus is associated with the throat, so it’s not surprising to find Barbra Streisand, Bono, Wynonna Judd, Janet Jackson, Cher, Carnie Wilson, Pete Townsend and Joe Cocker were also born with Mercury in the sign of the throat.

Actors — Actors with Mercury in Taurus are Alec Baldwin, Russell Crowe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Uma Thurman, Renee Zellweger, Annette Bening, Brooke Shields, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Lange, Jack Nicholson and Billy Dee Williams belong to the Merc in Taurus group.

Public Figures — Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, John F. Kennedy, Gary Kasparov, Sally Ride, Ram Dass, Orson Welles, Joe Louis and Pope John Paul II.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, April 14th

We want to build consensus with our allies but hidden emotions could be revealed today if we feel threatened by someone else’s power. The social Libra Moon shines a bright spotlight on relationships. But the Moon’s rough aspects to Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto can lure us down a rather bumpy road. Creating common ground is complicated by chatty Mercury joining erratic Uranus, urging us to share our thoughts without bothering to censor them.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Considering everyone’s feelings prior to initiating action means making decisions is very difficult today because you see everything from multiple perspectives. Even if you are in tune with your desires, you may be unsure of the best time to make your move. However, you might think you don’t have the option of waiting, but that comes from a false sense of urgency. Stop to assess the alternatives and postpone your final choices as long as possible. In this case, doing your research really counts.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your natural tendency is to tackle your tasks one at a time and just methodically plow through them. However, there’s so much going on now that you might not be able to decide where to begin. Unfortunately, procrastination is not the answer today because the longer you put off the inevitable, the harder it gets. Be courageous and jump in anywhere you can. Things will fall into place once you quit worrying and get to work.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might think that you can have fun while running errands or doing your chores today, but you may need to work hard to overcome the obstacles you encounter along the way. You could even wonder if someone is blocking your progress, but don’t jump to any hasty conclusions before you have sufficient facts to support your concerns. It’s best to keep moving toward your goals rather than wasting time rationalizing why you should turn around and give up. Taking the high road gives you an opportunity to shine.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s a bit simplistic to believe that you can accommodate everyone’s needs just because you see a complex issue from all angles. Although you may not have an easy answer, you could be the right person to mediate a serious domestic conflict today. Nevertheless, the picture might grow more complicated if you feel pressure to take sides. Don’t be afraid to establish strong boundaries by letting others know that you will share your assessment only after you are ready.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to take the time to hear everyone’s plans for the future before revealing your own. Unfortunately, you might need to make a critical decision that ends up disappointing someone, even if you do your best to take the concerns of others into consideration. It’s great to be optimistic in your outlook, but you won’t likely agree with every person involved. Explain your choices as kindly and firmly as possible; the best thing you can do next is to lead by example and move on.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your analytical skills are your greatest strength now, especially when you build on your previous work instead of beginning something new. However, you might face your own internal resistance before taking your work to the next level today. Although your fear of failure could make you worry that your efforts will go unnoticed, this isn’t the right time to reassess your direction. Just stick to your present path with as much confidence as you can muster; you may be progressing faster now than you realize.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t have a lot of patience with others who act selfishly, but it’s awkward to tell them what they already should know. You’re on edge with the evocative Moon back in your sign now; however, it’s a mistake to keep your annoyance quiet just to maintain the peace. Unfortunately, there could be an emotional price to pay if you don’t express yourself today. The good news is that with a little social finesse you can remain authentic without placing blame on anyone else.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Every task — no matter how minor — is more complicated when you cannot make up your mind about what to do first. Ironically, the facts seem clear, yet you’re struggling with a dilemma as your imagination pulls you in opposite directions today. Unfortunately, your refusal to give up on either side prevents you from making the best choice. Your best bet is to wait out your uncertainty until the answer becomes more apparent. In the meantime, flexibility is your friend.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Expressing your emotions honestly always sounds like the best policy, but a spontaneous declaration of love may not go over very well today. Unfortunately, writing about the desires of your heart in an email or text won’t necessarily fare any better. Mischievous Mercury’s influence can bend your emotions out of shape, so you might not have a very clear perspective now, even if you believe you do. Only fools rush in; be smart and wait a few days before saying what’s on your mind. Channel your passion into expressing your creativity instead.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have to play the role of the bad guy in a family conflict today. Or, perhaps someone is in dire need of your parenting skills now. However, you would rather hold a neutral position while you listen to everyone’s concerns. Even if you’ve had more than enough of hearing other people complain, you don’t have the luxury of being able to let your attention wander. Seeking the meaning behind the words instead of being distracted by the emotional intensity can trigger the breakthrough you were hoping for all along.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have things to do that you’ve never done before, but fortunately, you like the excitement of new experiences. Your knack for balancing what you know with the unknown comes in handy today. However, you still must exercise caution or you could become lackadaisical in your approach. There’s very little margin for error, so don’t get lazy. Lowering your guard now is a likely invitation to trouble. Enjoy the adrenaline rush of embarking on an adventure, but make sure to be back home in time for dinner.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are strong enough to handle the deep emotions of those around you, but you may be riding a seesaw today as you try to balance someone else’s feelings with your own. You truly want to be present for those you love, but you’re unsure about opening up to outside negativity now. The real lesson comes from being a supportive friend while still maintaining healthy boundaries. Your compassion can have a much more powerful impact if you’re willing to share your heart.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, April 14th

After the astrological warnings of the past two days, now that Monday is here you should be well-prepared for an anything-goes kind of experience, right? Let’s hope so. Here’s the cosmically-inspired line-up for sky patterns affecting everyone on Earth: The Moon in Libra opposes Mercury in Aries (2:02AM); the Moon opposes Uranus (2:22AM); the Moon squares Pluto (3:09AM); Juno opposes Vesta (7:46AM); the Moon conjuncts Mars (9:01AM); Mercury squares Jupiter (11:33AM); the Moon parallels Venus (12:46PM); Mercury parallels Ceres (1:28PM); Mercury conjuncts Uranus (4:17PM); Pluto at 14 degrees of Capricorn becomes stationary (4:48PM and intensifying underworld-extremist Plutonic themes) and begins retrograde motion that lasts until September 22; the Sun is contra-parallel to Neptune (5:08PM); the Moon unites with Vesta (8:40PM); Mercury squares Pluto (9:14PM); the Sun trines Pallas (9:40PM); the Moon parallels Neptune (10:14PM); and the Sun opposes Ceres (10:38PM). This is definitely the largest number of alignments ever listed for a 24-hour entry in 32+ years of writing this calendar, and a couple of other minor aspects could have been included, too. Of course, it is possible that you can utilize some of today’s favorable geometric formations to your advantage — like the Moon parallel Venus, Mercury parallel Ceres, the Moon union with Vesta, the Sun trine Pallas, and even Mercury conjunct Uranus as well as the Sun opposite Ceres. Nevertheless, wisdom dictates that you remain cool and calm while many people are losing their tempers or acting irresponsibly. Every person who can rise to the occasion and play the role of Good Samaritan is a welcome addition to the core group of divine illuminators working behind the scenes to inspire our beleaguered planet. You may want to meditate this evening for world peace since the Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse happen very early tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Mercury in Aries

Mercury in Aries

Brace yourself for fast talk and even speedier thoughts

Tarotcom StaffTarotcom Staff on the topics of mercury, astrology, aries

Watch your mouth! Mercury is moving through on-the-go Aries from April 7 – 23, 2014, so it’s time to brace yourself for fast talk and even speedier thoughts!

Mercury is the sprightly planet that impacts how we think and how we express ourselves. So Mercury in Aries will lift us out of a dreamy daze in how we perceive the world and the people around us. As Mercury transitions from peaceful Pisces to bold and brash Aries, our minds and our words will get less poetic and more action-oriented.

Aries is a Fire sign known for being impulsive, so be careful what you say! Comments might come out of your mouth before they’re fully formed, giving them a tinge of sarcasm or even an edge of insult — whether you intend them to or not. And even if we think we know the full impact of our words, there’s the danger that we haven’t thought far enough ahead about the effect they’ll have on those we care about.

At the same time, Aries is the first zodiac sign — literally, a true leader in Astrology. Our thoughts and speech could become more courageous, yes, but more than that, this pioneering sign could make us more innovative, too. It will be easier to think of fresh, brilliant solutions to nagging problems as we receive rushes of fresh inspiration. And with rebellious Uranus in Aries, too, we can really expect this innovative energy to fly off the charts.

But catch this inspiration as fast as it comes, because Aries is not known for being patient. In fact, it may be more difficult to complete everyday tasks if they lack the flavor of excitement.

Here are some tips to embrace the best parts of Mercury in Aries:

Don’t…

…get too caught up in the excitement of the moment; reconsider any commitments you’re about to make.
…allow yourself to get trapped in an argument, because neither you nor your friends or lover will be in the most logical place to resolve an issue.
…jump into too many new things at once.

Do…

…enjoy the fresh perspective you’ll experience when the no-holds-barred warrior sign takes control of your mental life!
…apply your taste for adventure and desire for new experiences to shake up your daily routine.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 2nd

If you were able to handle yesterday’s April Fools’ Day celestial onslaught, then give yourself a row of gold and silver stars for meritorious astro-zodiacal preparation and action. You are definitely not out of the woods yet by a long shot as the Sun forms its annual union with shock-inducing Uranus (12:10AM), Mars forms a dicey, 135-degree tie with far-out Neptune (12:29AM), Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Mars (2:45AM), and Venus connects with giant Jupiter via a frictional, 135-degree aspect (8:21AM). These four intense alignments — happening within an 8-hour time-span — can pack an emotional and psychic wallop. Luckily, the Moon in earthy Taurus may keep you practical, sensible and focused on necessities. Strive to utilize the Sun-Uranus conjunction at 13 degrees of Aries as a springboard to studying advances on the cutting edge of science, alternative medicine, and metaphysics. Watch out for a tendency to be too zealous and idealistic for your own good due to both 135-degree sky patterns. And because Mercury and Mars are battling in the heavens for a second straight day, it is wise to avoid contentious discussions that can flair into unintended arguments. Slow your pace later on when Mercury trines Saturn in earth signs (8:04PM). Think along shrewd pragmatic lines to make gains as a rising star on the business and entrepreneurial totem pole. Be aware that a void lunar uncertainty zone in Taurus begins at 11:44PM and lasts until 4:49AM tomorrow when the Moon enters airy, multi-faceted Gemini. Get set for more cosmic shenanigans on Thursday as Pluto, Uranus, and Mars continue to stir the proverbial pot. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 28th

Hold fast to your higher values and philosophy of life during today’s lunar tidal wave in Pisces — while the Moon unites with visionary Neptune (3:28AM), intellectual Mercury (5:21PM), and wounded-healer Chiron (5:49PM). Be a force for good in the world as the big chill attempts to frustrate business owners and budding entrepreneurs as the Sun makes a caustic, 135-degree tie with time-keeper Saturn (5:59AM). It doesn’t help that Mercury makes the same kind of frictional, 135-degree link with Ceres (6:22AM). What can jolt you — positively — out of this morning funkiness is one of two, monthly lunar trines to optimistic Jupiter (11:43AM). Stay as upbeat and convivial as possible during the second half of the day. Let your compassionate, empathic nature rise to the surface. Strut your stuff on the dance floor with an eager partner as the Moon in the twelfth sign of the zodiac can give you happy feet. A late-night conjunction of Mercury and Chiron (10:10PM) gives you a chance to play a mentor or shaman role with clients, associates or the world-at-large.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 13th

Playing fast and loose with recent financial and business gains is not recommended in the early hours as Mercury forms a frictional, 135-degree link with Jupiter (10:45AM). While it is true that both Mercury and Jupiter are back on the move, in direct motion and gaining more speed with each passing day, any of the hard aspects between them (45-degrees, 90-degrees, 135-degrees and 180-degrees), can pack a wallop and potentially send you to the back of the class with a dunce cap on your head. Therefore, keep utilizing the Moon in Leo in creative, artistic, and childlike ways to feel personally upbeat and content with social affairs.  Later on — when the Mercury-Jupiter connection starts dissipating — a harmonious trine of 120-degrees between the Sun and Saturn in water signs (2:17PM) can enrich your career aims and exalt your worldly stature. Tune into the realm of fashion, design, style and elegance for a change of pace as Juno forms a supportive, 30-degree tie with Neptune (7:24PM).  Exercise some caution and restraint overnight regarding communications, correspondence, and travel as the Moon makes its monthly opposition with Mercury (11:29PM).  [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Healthy relationships depend on open communication. Unfortunately, on this Valentine’s Day the communication planet is intent on throwing a few screws into your plans. Mercury, from our perspective on Earth, moves backwards in the sky about three times a year, 22 days at a time. When Mercury goes retrograde, signals get crossed, mail gets lost, and delays and mix-ups are the order of the day. This year, Mercury turned its heels on Feb. 6 … and won’t right itself until Feb. 28.

Sure, your computer might malfunction or your bus might be late. But on Valentine’s Day, what counts is how love can go wrong. Here are just some of the things that can happen when Mercury tramples on your relationship:

• Your ex calls, and your current partner answers the phone.

• You send a sexy IM to your boss instead of your date.

• That Valentine’s Day card you sent to your long-distance “friend” comes back with “Returned to Sender” stamped on it.

• You accidentally make public your private online photos of you and your loved one … you know, those pictures.

• You forget to sign out of your email, and your partner reads that flirty email correspondence between you and your co-worker.

Mercury brings back past communications. When it’s retrograde, you’re supposed to wrap up unfinished business. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day is not the best time for old relationships to pop up out of nowhere.

The solution? If you haven’t been completely honest about your past at this point, the most romantic of days is probably not the best time to come clean. Take some necessary precautions. When you leave the computer, double-check to make sure you signed off. Think twice before you hit “send” on that email. And know that Mercury, the trickster, will surely have something up his sleeve that you haven’t anticipated.

And on that special night, it can’t hurt to talk about all the good things that have built up to this moment. When the bad stuff rears its head, you’ll at least have had a wonderful evening to buffer the blows.

Daily Horoscopes for February 12th

We may not be very forthcoming with our feelings this morning. Ironically, it’s tempting to get angry with someone else for being emotionally distant. However, the timid Cancer Moon shifts into expressive Leo at 2:15 pm EST, prompting us to say what’s been on our minds. Unfortunately, a tricky lunar alignment with retrograde Mercury can muddle messages and manifest misunderstandings. Thankfully, clarity begins to return as soon as tomorrow.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You can work yourself into a state of high anxiety this morning, but luckily, your moodiness dissipates later in the day. Paradoxically, you might even feel strangely optimistic without anything actually happening to support your belief that things are improving. Nevertheless, a sudden adjustment in attitude is exactly the catalyst you need to shift your life into the next gear. Don’t be afraid to plan for the future; it will be here sooner than you think.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You could spend much of your day revisiting problems that developed over the last few weeks. Thankfully, your frustration is fading, but the desired results are still beyond your grasp. Oddly enough, your confidence remains unshaken and you’re sure things will turn around without a lot of extra work on your part. Taking the easy way out is tempting, but a proactive approach to change can make the difference between failure and success.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current plans may not be progressing as quickly as you wish. You might even be slightly annoyed with someone who has been standing in your way, but now they appear to change their behavior and help, rather than block, your efforts. Holding a grudge is ill-advised; accept the energetic shift as a positive sign that you’re on the right track today, even if your goals still seem far out of reach. A grateful outlook serves you well.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may feel mired in an emotional conflict, circumstances begin to change this afternoon, prompting you to realize that you have less time than you thought. Don’t be lazy; if you have something to say, go ahead and speak your piece, even if your declaration might spark an uncomfortable discussion. Getting your feelings out into the open today helps to get the ball rolling and sets the stage for resolution. Now is better than never.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The waiting game is over; it’s time to make your move. Perhaps you have recently tried a variety of tactics to push a pressing relationship issue along, but to no avail. Now that the Moon is returning to your dramatic sign, the winds of change are blowing up a storm. There’s no reason to resist the movement, even if you aren’t sure which direction you’re heading. Be bold and ride this cosmic wave for all it’s worth.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Even if you have something important to say to a coworker today, you may end up keeping your thoughts to yourself. Although you might imagine shouting your message from the top of a mountain, the Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Privacy tells a different story. Sharing the news with grandiose declarations isn’t your style, and could leave you with pangs of regret. Focusing on the details is still the most effective way to make your case. Your silence says volumes to those who bother to listen

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can see potential in things that other folks miss today, and it’s up to you to use this special vision to your advantage. Ultimately, it’s your innate creativity that enables you to discover these magical possibilities. Now it’s time to jump in and play an active role in manifesting results. However, don’t try to do everything all at once or you might burn out too quickly. Follow your intuition and turn your dreams into tangible reality.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s about time that you receive the credit you deserve for all the work that you do. However, the current recognition might not be about your regular duties at home or on the job. More likely, you’re being acknowledged for what you bring to the world by who you are when you show up. It may be nearly impossible for others to put this special quality into words, yet you will know you are appreciated now by how people act in your presence. Don’t push away the love; receive it with a gracious heart and a touch of humility.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your future is beginning to open up and your dreams appear a bit closer than before. Nevertheless, you are still aware of how much planning there is yet to be done. Thankfully, you are feeling more energetic day by day. Additionally, it seems as if the mental fog is lifting and your thinking is growing sharper. It’s a good idea now to map out your schedule for the next few weeks. Make the necessary commitment, figure out the logistics and get to work today.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today’s dilemma might stem from not knowing how much to tell others regarding your latest news. You may be really excited about a new project, plan or relationship, but aren’t ready to say anything until you are more certain that everything is moving along as you wish. Nevertheless, it might be smarter to share your enthusiasm now, along with your concerns. The feedback and support you receive can help you more than you think.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may start your day in a quiet frame of mind, an enthusiastic friend could coax you out of your seclusion. Perhaps you thought that you would simply go about your day, doing your work and minding your own business, only to discover a much different path in store for you now. Don’t resist an enticing invitation just because you have too much work to do. You can always come back and tie up loose ends later on. Surrendering to a surprise might just be your best option today.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re standing at the edge of a clearing, yet you can’t tell which way to go. Fortunately, you will step through this window of opportunity as your direction becomes apparent over the next few days. In the meantime, make the most of where you are now by paying attention to every little detail. Observe how others respond to you, but don’t forget to also tune into your own creative process. Remember, if something occurs in your imagination, there’s a good chance it can also happen in your real life.

Mercury in Aquarius

Think big while mental Mercury is in brainy Aquarius!

Tarotcom Staff Tarotcom Staff on the topics of mercury, astrology, aquarius

It’s time to put on your thinking cap! Mercury, the planet of ideas and communication, is retrograding back into Aquarius on February 12, 2014. Emotions will take a back seat to intellect during this time, and mental pursuits will become more appealing than spiritual ones.

Aquarius is a relatively cool and detached Air sign that puts feelings aside to focus on more cerebral matters — brilliant ideas, inventions, quirky schemes and the like. Don’t be surprised if it feels like you can’t turn off your brain now!

In addition to being an intellectual transit, Mercury in Aquarius is also a bit offbeat. Your thoughts will certainly be brilliant, but they may also be eccentric or downright weird. But don’t forget, there’s a fine line between “weird” and genius, right?!

Think of this as a good thing. This is a great time to look at your life from a different angle and gain new perspective. Also, Aquarius is very future-minded, so you can use this time to think about how to make your future bright.

The one thing to watch out for during Mercury’s transit through this not-so-sensitive sign is hurting or neglecting other people’s feelings. We may all lose touch with our sensitive sides while we’re busy juggling so many brilliant ideas, so do your best to pause and give someone you love an extra hug between all those stimulating conversations.

Mercury will move on into more compassionate Pisces on January 31, before turning retrograde on February 6. On February 12, Mercury spins back into Aquarius until it turns direct on February 28. Finally, Mercury will move forward again into Pisces on March 17.

Enjoy the many “ah-ha” moments you’re sure to have courtesy of Mercury in Aquarius!
