New Moon in Capricorn

Saturday, December 24, 10:06 am PST, 1:06 pm EST

The New Moon in orderly Capricorn is usually good for establishing long-term plans and making the commitment to stick to them. Yet this lunation’s union with transformational Pluto and square with revolutionary Uranus doesn’t fit the conservative profile associated with this sign. Breaking down barriers by tapping into the depths of desire and acting with originality is possible now. Generous Jupiter in Taurus’ harmonious trine to this Sun-Moon conjunction adds a strong dose of common sense and optimism needed to radically change the world in constructive ways.

The Capricorn New Moon symbolizes our New Year resolutions as we aim to reach toward higher levels of success. This gathering of force from the depths of darkness motivates us to greater heights of achievement to come. Yet this year we are building new ladders to climb and inventing goals to pursue as we wed the indomitable sense of purpose of this sign with the innovative and transformational forces of Uranus and Pluto. The hope inspired by the direct turn of Jupiter, the cosmic Santa Claus, reminds us to count our blessings.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, December 23rd

Although a positive outlook on the future prevails today, we may feel as if an emotional cycle is ending as we approach tomorrow’s New Moon. The inspirational Sagittarius Moon creates possibilities for magic, yet it’s up to us to make something happen or opportunities will pass us by. The Moon’s dynamic square to assertive Mars encourages us to act on our emotions, yet pushing too hard could alienate those who are ready to support us.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that your fantasies can become real today if you are willing to take a risk and tell others exactly what you want. But the Moon’s square to your key planet Mars can put so much energy into your words that you frighten someone with your intensity rather than demonstrating your trustworthiness. Thankfully, a less aggressive approach allows you to be more convincing. Be sure you understand your audience before you take things too fast.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s anxious aspect with your ruling planet Venus combines your need for adventure with your desire to be popular. You may seek pleasure from new and different activities, but you must be careful not to avoid your responsibilities in the pursuit of social gratification. Entertaining your options doesn’t mean that you need to act on every whim. You can find ways to have a good time while still keeping your feet on the ground.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

A friend or co-worker may reveal a grandiose scheme to you today, yet you are fearful of getting caught up in a whirlwind of activity that spins your day out of control. There’s no harm in relaxing the reins a bit, but don’t let anyone take them away from you. Although you might enjoy yourself for a while if you didn’t have to do things your way, you’ll be happier now following your own agenda instead of someone else’s.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Someone may be very persistent today, making it difficult for you to say no. But it’s wise to take a deep breath and give yourself a little time to consider what you want before agreeing to anything. Don’t just say yes because you want others to like you. It’s healthier to go through the awkward process of establishing clear boundaries now than taking the easy way out. Ultimately, following your own dreams makes you happier than setting them aside to please anyone else.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Others want to know your secret because you usually seem cheerful and confident about what you are doing. Thankfully, you are blessed because you can have a lot of fun while fulfilling your daily obligations. But you can’t divulge your method because you don’t have a hidden formula. Just do what you do best; continue to be honest while living your life as transparently as you can. The simplest things can bring you joy now, even if the current challenges you face demand your attention.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You would be wise to take a small idea and build on it today, but be careful about inflating your expectations too much. It’s better now to achieve a modest success that makes you feel good about your accomplishments, rather than reaching too high and then facing the disappointment of failure. Fortunately, whatever you choose to do now is not set in stone; you will have opportunities to modify your goals as you move along.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may actually think that today is your lucky day — and a special fantasy just might come true. Don’t be afraid to trust your intuition; however, it’s not so smart to assume that you’ll receive exactly what you want. Your natural flexibility is the key to landing a delicious surprise that far exceeds your expectations. But stubbornly sticking to your previous agenda could cause you to miss the magic right in front of you.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your unwavering belief in yourself makes a big difference today, for your thoughts create the blueprint of your future. The outgoing Sagittarius Moon squares your key planet Mars in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals, coercing you to swing into action now and go for exactly what you want. But you won’t make much progress by taking baby steps, so boldly act on your most positive thoughts to make the best impression.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel anxious today, but it’s not because anything specific is going wrong. To the contrary, you’re worried that you’re missing something important in your positive assessment of what’s going on around you. But don’t let your concerns trick you into taking impulsive action. Methodically complete as much unfinished business as you can in preparation for the brand new cycle that begins after tomorrow’s New Moon.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be concerned that someone’s holding out on you today by undermining your positive efforts. Unfortunately, you might not be able to find any tangible evidence to support your current worries. Paradoxically, the opposite might be true; something you choose to keep to yourself can turn a relationship inside out. Consider what you’re afraid to reveal and then think about how to shine the light of awareness on your secret. Bringing your truth out into the open may be enough to dissolve the gulf between you and others.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s visit to your 11th House of Social Networking helps lead you and your friends into the future. Don’t hold back; even if your dreams seem unrealistic, your unrestrained imagination helps you to visualize what’s ahead. Instead of allowing practical considerations to slow you down today, share your visions as they appear to you. You can always refine your plans later on to make them more concrete.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s not easy to separate your identity from what you do in the real world now that the Moon is moving through your 10th House of Public Responsibility. Whether you’re thinking about your profession, your role in the community or your place within your family, it’s important to understand where you stand so you can reconsider where you are going. Don’t rush blindly ahead; instead create a new agenda and make a manageable plan to reach your goals.

Lunar Love Horoscopes for December 23 -25

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Through the Roof

December 23 – 25

The hustle and bustle of the holiday weekend usually crowds out the time for romance while most people are busy with their families. But this year it’s not all about obligations, as there are times when breaking away from regular routine and ritual provides room for hearts to roam more freely. The outgoing and fun-loving Sagittarius Moon gives Friday an adventurous spirit. Taking chances in self-expression and exploring unfamiliar places and faces can expand horizons and offer fresh perspectives.

Saturday, on the other hand, is supercharged with a New Moon in disciplined Capricorn that arouses feelings of guilt. Yet the order generally associated with this sign may be hard to come by, frustrating those who prefer to follow the rules and stick to their plans. Volatility is spiked by a lunar square with anti-authoritarian Uranus. This planetary alignment brings out the rebellious side of personalities, making cooperation even more difficult. Yet even if a playful approach and flexible attitude allows for experimentation, the Moon’s conjunction with controlling Pluto has the last word of the day. This intense aspect could either squeeze out the fun with a sense of resentment or cause us to examine our expectations. However, the point isn’t about trying to change others, but to find the maturity and commitment to start changing ourselves.

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 23rd

Every so often the universe quiets down and goes on hiatus. This is happening today as the cosmos reveals a Sun-Vesta 60-degree rapport (4:32AM PST) followed 5+ hours later by a Sun-Chiron 60-degree rapport (9:49AM PST). Then – to reinforce these two 60-degree aspects – Vesta unites with Chiron at 2 degrees of Pisces (6:16PM PST). Fundamentally, you have a pretty open track to do your thing in this 24-hour time-period. The Moon transiting in Sagittarius continues to strengthen your optimistic mind-set and a happy-go-lucky temperament. Meanwhile, the Sun-Vesta and Sun-Chiron aspects help you work with soul-sisters and holistic healers who can nurture your mind-heart-body connections. In addition, you can make gains on the investment and business horizons. The Vesta-Chiron conjunction is fairly rare and suggests that soul-searching and in-depth studies are advised tonight. Don’t be surprised if visions and intuitive flashes inundate your consciousness. Learning more about Zen Buddhism, oracles, sacred dance, mantras, talismans, ETs, UFOs and esoteric brotherhoods and sisterhoods makes sense. Gear up for a potent weekend as the Capricorn New Moon of Saturday will lead to Jupiter’s shift from retrograde to direct motion on Sunday.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, December 22nd

Although we may want to be pragmatic as the Sun shifts into cautious Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice, we are more likely to let our visions carry us away today. Blind optimism leads the way with the joyous Sun-Jupiter trine, enabling us to see the brighter side of life while the wild Sun-Uranus square encourages us to take risks. Meanwhile, the Moon’s entry into adventurous Sagittarius at 7:02 am EST affirms the current upbeat energy.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You cannot contain your excitement today as the barriers to pursuing your happiness fall away. Although you may be high on anticipation about your upcoming adventures, satisfaction might not be as close as you expect. Don’t be cavalier about the complexities you must still overcome. If you are serious about your goals, you just might be able to execute your plans successfully.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Last minute social commitments might add a bit of stress to your day by placing too many demands on your time. Although you’re capable of stretching beyond your usual limits today, don’t reach so far that you upset the balance between work and play. Being open to the spirit of the holiday season is fine, but don’t be afraid to retreat if your common sense tells you that you are overextended.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tempting to go along with someone’s idea today because you are more concerned with enjoying yourself than with achieving success. Fortunately, the Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Companions can amplify the strength of another person’s strategy, further encouraging you to let go of your previous plans. Your cooperative spirit enables you to work well with others now, bringing greater satisfaction than doing something on your own.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you’re optimistic about what you can accomplish at work today, your expectations might be somewhat unrealistic. Streamline your to-do list before wasting lots of energy on tasks you can’t finish. Instead of spreading yourself too thin, focus on completing a few of the most important tasks; otherwise, you could exhaust yourself before the day is done.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are feeling very creative today as the buoyant Sagittarius Moon enters your 5th House of Self-Expression. However, you aren’t in the mood to perform the repetitive tasks that may still be required. Be careful about reacting too impulsively because your frustration could explode into an emotional outbreak that turns your day upside down. Although it might be challenging to be patient now, it’s best to save your greatest inspiration for your personal pleasure.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may believe that you can accomplish everything today, but your schedule could fall apart if someone’s need for independence clashes with your agenda. You might have to reinvent your day on the fly or postpone tasks when something requires more time than you expected. Your emotional reaction could upset a close friend or loved one, but your reassurances should be able to settle them down. Make sure everyone knows that you still plan to meet your obligations over the next few days.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you try to stuff one more activity into this day, it could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. But you might not realize that anything has gone wrong until it’s too late. Even if you are quite confident that all is well in your world, it’s still smart to lighten up your calendar before you find yourself in trouble. If you stretch your commitments too far, the entire house of cards may need to fall in order to alleviate the tension.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Exercising financial caution is wise today because the optimistic Sagittarius Moon in your 2nd House of Possessions encourages you to spend more than you should. Your money may be more limited than you want to admit, so budgeting your resources makes good sense. It’s smarter to acknowledge how you can fool yourself before you end up facing an unnecessary negative cash flow situation. Fortunately, a little planning goes a long way to ease your concerns.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are riding a wave of self-confidence, but it’s also easy to gloss over practical details that can get you into trouble today. Relying on your common sense now instead of your optimism is a good idea, but it’s not easy to keep your feet on the ground. Your visionary powers are strong, tricking you to think that you’re invincible. Positive thinking will improve the situation, but ignoring the facts makes things worse. Don’t avoid reality just because it’s unpleasant.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may try to be rational in your approach to a complicated situation now that the Sun is shining in your sensible sign. Unfortunately, the current circumstances can defy logical analysis. Instead of unsuccessfully attempting to stay on the straight and narrow path, give yourself permission to be inspired by your imagination. Don’t try to justify your choices to anyone; simply trust in the process. Your intuition will not steer you wrong today.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your dreams may be the source of inspiration today, but they can also lead you in a more practical direction than you realize. The Moon’s visit to your 11th House of Long-Term Goals lures you out of the present reality and into a world of potential. Luckily, these imaginative excursions can have a lasting impact on what comes next in your life. Instead of losing yourself in fantasyland, consciously paint your future with the colors of your mind.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be feeling very sure of yourself now, believing that you have the ability to improve your career path simply through the power of positive thought. Unfortunately, your visions might be slightly warped, enabling you to view your future through rose-colored glasses. Although there’s no reason to assume the worst, don’t avoid difficult facts just because you’re able to see so much good wherever you look. A reality check only improves your chances for success.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 22nd

There’s no sense dashing out of the starting gate too early as the Moon in Scorpio starts a void cycle at 1:50AM PST by squaring dreamy Neptune. This lunar uncertainty zone lasts until 4:04AM PST when the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius. The Moon in the ninth zodiacal sign signifies a boost for fun, games and sports. Outdoor adventures and explorations are back in vogue. If erotic impulses shock your nervous system this morning, it is probably related to the Moon parallel to love-goddess Venus (4:39AM PST). This stellar contact is also a boost for your creative artistic expression across the board. More good news arrives this morning as the Sun forms a flowing trine to giant Jupiter in earth signs (6:34AM PST) while the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Venus (7:54AM PST). Golden opportunities are ripe for the picking. Love birds may experience some ruffled feathers due to a frictional, 135-degree contact from Venus to Mars (12:31PM PST). While you may be nursing any minor wounds from emotional upsets, the Sun squares revolutionary Uranus (2:15PM PST). Shock waves and surprises are always par for the course when the Sun and Uranus face off in a 90-degree aspect. Expecting the unexpected is one way to stay prepared. Advanced studies in almost any field of knowledge will send you to the head of the class. Immerse yourself in a biography or literary classic as the Moon makes its monthly union with Mercury (7:11PM PST).

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Dec. 21

We are eagerly looking forward to something new and different today as attractive Venus forms a supportive sextile to eccentric Uranus. Although nearly anything that’s out of the ordinary might sound good at first, we might not relish being distracted from a more meaningful goal with the Moon visiting passionate Scorpio. Ultimately, we may be left with anxious feelings because we want to break out of a rut without shaking up our priorities.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have responsibilities that are probably more important than socializing today, but an unusual invitation from an interesting person could make it difficult to say no. You like the idea of stretching your horizons now, so you will likely grab any opportunity that sounds good. Work diligently first so you don’t feel guilty about ignoring your commitments when you’re having fun later.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may have to respond to an unexpected change of plans today, but fortunately, you see this twist of fate as a positive event. You have the stamina to handle nearly anything that comes your way now, along with an uncanny ability to know when to be patient. Have faith in your intuition and don’t allow rationalizations to override your gut feelings.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s typical for you to have a plan in place, yet still change your mind at the last moment. Co-workers might not understand your reasons for altering your priorities, but there is usually logic to your thinking. It’s useful to make certain that you’re not just taking the easy way out today. If your new strategy is really an improvement, don’t hesitate before going for it. And, don’t waste precious time and energy trying to justify your actions to everyone else.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might actually scare yourself today because of your sudden willingness to gamble. However, taking a calculated risk may be your smartest move, even if someone attempts to convince you of the error of your ways. Consider the consequences of inaction. The fear of failure isn’t as bad as the regret of not trying at all. It’s time to overcome your internal resistance and follow your heart.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may discover untapped resources if you’re willing to fully commit to a single goal. However, it will be necessary to dig deeply into your arsenal and acknowledge that you’re playing for keeps — especially if you are certain that you know what you want. If you’re not sure, it’s wiser to wait a day or two. Don’t be afraid to stubbornly hold your ground, even if a big change is looming just around the corner.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have a hard time deciding if you should go ahead with your plans now because the pros and cons are pretty evenly balanced. However, if you finally choose against pushing ahead today, you could surprise yourself by impulsively taking the next step, anyhow. Exercise reasonable caution; if you initiate action prematurely, you may have to start over next week.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might have an unusual inspiration today about how to spice up a relationship that has become entrenched in routine. But you may worry so much about upsetting the status quo that you quickly dismiss your radical new ideas. Unfortunately, you’ll never know whether or not they work if you’re not willing to try them. Be innovative; you can return to your old ways if your plans don’t work out according to your wishes.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Being creative leads you to success on the job or, at least, recognition by your peers. This is an exciting time, but you need to establish a pace that you can sustain. Although you may have lots of good ideas today, it’s not helpful in the long run to make a one-time big splash. Save your showy presentation for another day; for now, impress others by demonstrating your ability to finish whatever you start.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be able to get away with a bit of mischief today because others are likely to forgive your edgy behavior. The Sun’s last day in philosophical Sagittarius helps your contemplative nature shine through for everyone to see. Thankfully, your eagerness to risk your stability by doing things your way clearly demonstrates your intent to succeed without sacrificing your integrity. You can still act responsibly and remain true to your values now while being a nonconformist.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are riding a wave that’s growing in strength, yet you need to slow down or you might squander a rare opportunity. Being an inspiring leader is challenging now if you’re overly eager to reach a goal, especially if you cannot restrain your enthusiasm. Don’t just bolt ahead of those who should be following you; instead, move at a pace that allows others to be a part of the process.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s nearly impossible to hide your intentions from others today with the Moon’s presence in your public 10th house. Even if you think it’s smart to keep your feelings to yourself, an unexpected turn of events might require you to think on your feet and involve others in your process. Sharing your dreams takes courage, but revealing your vulnerability can remove unnecessary boundaries between you and your associates.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if your emotions make complete sense to you, there might be trouble today when you tell others what you want. Misunderstandings may occur if you become so excited about your plans that you bounce from thought to thought. A smarter strategy now is to work quietly toward your goals and wait a few more days before sharing your plans with anyone else.

Cosmic Calendar For December 21

Staying emotionally empowered in primary partnerships is a crucial theme today as the Moon makes its monthly union with Juno in Scorpio (10:31AM PST) while Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Juno just a few hours later (1:27PM PST). Go shopping for stylish clothing and beautiful touches to enhance a special room in your residence. Be extra sensitive and considerate to loved ones on the ropes. Play the mediator role with finesse and understanding if relatives are over-reacting to end-of-the-year holiday or financial pressures. Utilize a Mercury-Pluto parallel (6:38AM PST) to strengthen your spiritual willpower and mental concentration. Be willing to examine your deeper motives, passions and desires to learn more about core beliefs and principles. The big news is that the Sun enters Capricorn (9:31PM PST) – also known as the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Along with the Summer Solstice and the two equinoxes, this evening represents one of four sacred turning points of the calendar year. Meditate for clarity and learn more about the arcane rituals and rites of ancient civilizations. On practical levels, you will want to focus more attention on reaching a career summit or energizing your entrepreneurial skills during the next four weeks as the Sun illuminates the third earth sign of the zodiac.

New Moon Report for December 20th – Venus in Aquarius

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

Venus in Aquarius

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

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

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 20

Following a short void lunar cycle in Libra – stretching from 1:50AM PST to 2:34AM PST (when the Moon enters Scorpio) — the universe goes on the offensive as a large number of alignments energize the rest of the morning, afternoon and evening. With the lunar Scorpio backdrop of tuning into secrets and mysteries via your detective skills, you can also widen your circle of friends and become more involved in global causes close to your heart as Venus enters Aquarius (10:27AM PST) until January 13. Open the gates to your enhanced psychic abilities and creative imaginative prowess as the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with far-out Neptune (12:47PM PST) while Ceres also makes a parallel to Neptune (3:37PM PST). Explore your talents in photography, film and video work, music, art, poetry, calligraphy and dance. Over-optimism can land you in hot water when Venus squares Jupiter (6:20PM PST). Don’t let these two traditional beneficial planets rain on your parade. Better news will arrive at the tail end of the evening when Vesta makes a supportive, 60-degree tie to Jupiter (11:17PM PST) a little before Venus makes a similar contact with surprise-bringer Uranus (11:58PM PST). These two aspects toward the end of this 24-hour time-period are tremendous catalysts that can pad your bank account and help you increase the value of your assets. Start gearing up for the shift by giant Jupiter from retrograde to direct motion in Taurus on Sunday December 25.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, December 19th

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

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

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

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

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

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

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

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

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

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

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

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

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

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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

Weekly Love Horoscopes for Monday, December 19th

Amorous Venus’ move into cool but friendly Aquarius on Tuesday takes some of the heat out of romance this week. Enjoying new people and experiences without commitment or expectations makes sense while most of us are busy with the holidays — that usually entail putting family first. The Capricorn New Moon on Saturday morning reminds us to consider our ambitions for the future.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Amicable Venus in Aquarius bumps into a stressful aspect with your ruling planet Mars on Thursday that can put your social life on edge. Too much analysis will make any plan sound questionable and undermine the potential for cooperation. Earning respect by taking care of responsibilities may not sound sexy, but is probably the best way for you to operate during the busy holiday season.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Traditions may be broken this year, which might not be the way you want to celebrate the holidays. However, your loving ruling planet Venus’ entry into innovative Aquarius on Tuesday tempts you with unconventional relationships and unusual experiences. Rebellious Uranus rattles Saturday’s traditional Capricorn New Moon, so trying to play by the old rules is not likely to earn you favor. Yet being flexible in your thinking is an open invitation to pleasure.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Traveling somewhere different or connecting with people from faraway places could be your ticket to romance this week. Artistic Venus leaps into liberating Aquarius and your 9th House of Long Journeys on Tuesday to bring an exotic touch to your personal life. Yet being adaptable to unexpected changes is essential this weekend when the ambitious Capricorn New Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy tangles with volatile Uranus and formidable Pluto. Keep on your toes so you don’t miss a moment of the action.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Saturday’s earthy Capricorn New Moon sprouts seeds of social possibility in your 7th House of Relationships. But fresh experiences with your current partner or meeting someone for the first time can be filled with complications. Provocative Pluto and chaotic Uranus make stressful contacts to this Sun-Moon conjunction, prompting power struggles and irrational behavior. It’s best to avoid taking anyone too seriously now, including yourself.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you are more captivating when flirty Venus slips into your 7th House of Partners on Tuesday, this weekend is more about being helpful to others than fulfilling your romantic dreams. Saturday’s serious Capricorn New Moon lands in your 6th House of Service, putting greater emphasis on taking care of business than having fun. Nevertheless, working alongside an attractive individual could combine the best of both worlds.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Saturday’s earthy Capricorn New Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance, which is usually a major plus for personal pleasure. Yet complicated connections from manipulative Pluto and restless Uranus can make it difficult to find the comfortable company you desire. Quickly adapting to unexpected changes of plans and moods is a good way to overcome these challenges and find delight in the midst of unusual circumstances.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your magnetic planet Venus dances into unconventional Aquarius and your 5th House of Romance on Tuesday to put more spice in your social life. You may be rewarded with unexpected pleasure when you experiment with different kinds of people or out-of-the-ordinary activities. Pushing the limits of playfulness is fine since you have the necessary charm to smooth any ruffled feathers. The key to happiness now is to enjoy each moment without looking too far down the road.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Life is easier when you let go of some control this week. Sweet Venus enters freedom-loving Aquarius and your 4th House of Home and Family on Tuesday, signaling a need to lighten up and let go of rigid rules and expectations. An intense Capricorn New Moon on Saturday triggers control issues that can dampen the holiday mood. Yet if you’re willing to take the high road and adjust your plans, you should receive a few pleasant surprises.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your sense of self-esteem may take off on a wild ride this weekend due to the industrious Capricorn New Moon spotlighting your 2nd House of Resources. Normally, you would just have to work harder and show more commitment to upgrade your image, but tense connections with the Sun and Moon create surprising complications. Pluto provokes change and unpredictable Uranus spurs uncertainty, alerting you to make some quick adjustments when necessary. Don’t forget to bring out your sassy sense of humor when you need it most.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Get ready for a highly unusual holiday weekend that can pull you between your strong sense of duty and a desire to get away from it all. The New Moon in your ambitious sign on Saturday is agitated by potent Pluto and revolutionary Uranus, triggering rebellious feelings and sudden surprises. Keep your options open and your obligations limited so you have some freedom to alter your plans as your mood or circumstances dictate.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Alluring Venus enters your sign on Tuesday, casting you in a more desirable light and opening the door to new forms of fun. This transit continues through Jan. 13, giving you plenty of time to cash in some romantic chips. However, this weekend is complicated by a serious Capricorn New Moon roiled by stressful aspects with Uranus and Pluto. Power struggles and control issues may lead you to seek a quiet, private place away from all the noise.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Trying to maintain order among friends and relatives may be especially challenging this weekend. It’s hard to focus on personal pleasure if you’re surrounded by an unruly group. It may be wiser to step away now than to wade into a chaotic situation. Taking care of yourself is your first priority. When you’re able to stay calm and centered, you’ll be better equipped to handle people’s inappropriate behavior and whatever other surprises life throws your way.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 19th

If you require a morning to be extra focused on accomplishing important business tasks and discussing financial affairs with a trusted associate, this looks like a promising time-period as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Saturn in Libra (8:26AM PST). The Sun and Saturn only make two of these alignments in a calendar year and with the Moon energizing relationship-oriented Libra right now, the cosmic vibes can be solidly in your corner. Keep striving to be an expert problem-solver even though the Sun makes a somewhat dicey, 45-degree link to genius-endowed Pallas (4:26PM PST). Enjoy an interlude of quiet contemplation or play strategic games like chess or backgammon with an eager partner. Learn from your revered mentors this evening during the monthly Moon-Saturn union (10:20PM PST). Keep sailing on the artistic horizon – thanks to a supportive, 60-degree connection from the Moon to the Sun (11:18PM PST). After spending many months of 2011 in Aquarius, the asteroid Vesta enters Pisces (11:46PM PST) until February 25, 2012. Over the next two months, check out the safety and security of plumbing around your residence. Is the water coming out of your tap pure and uncontaminated? Make sure your insurance company is giving you the best coverage and rates.

Spellcrafting for Monday

A SPELL FOR PROPHETIC DREAMS

Before You Begin: Be Careful This is a rather simple spell, but you are “playing with fire”
before bedtime. Make sure you have extinguished all burning things before you cross
into slumber. Sprinkle some Jasmine on your pillow, and make sure you have a dream-journal
or the like at your bedside to record your dreams in, and brew a cup of mugwort tea.
(NOTE: mugwort is unhealthy in large doses, so go easy, and consult an Herbal Reference
book if you’re worried. Light blue candles on your altar.
If you want to gain insight into your passions or your loves, burn Damiana as well.
Watch the smoke as it coils, and allow it to carry you off into the trance-like state that you
spend most of the day avoiding. Say whatever comes to mind, appealing to the goddess
or god of your choice to guide your dreams. I usually say something like:
Blessed be the Lord and Lady, For they created the world, The earth to hold,
The sun to warm, The moon to guide, The spirit to dream.
Take sips of the mugwort tea as you repeat the words, gaze into the smoke,
and when you feel yourself just about to “cross the line” blow out the candle(s) and say:
“So mote it be.” Go to sleep. Dream away. Just remember, you don’t always get to hear what you’d like.

What Does Your Sun-Sign Seek?

Annie B. Bond

Our sun-sign horoscope can give us a simple but powerful affirmation of what it is we seek in this life. As we begin the new year we could all benefit from this reminder, to help us stay on the path that is right for us.

Find out what your sun sign tells you about your deepest soul nature, and what it is you seek, here:

Aries, March 21-April 19: I seek my Self. I accept my energy and ability to launch new actions for the betterment and benefit of myself or for others.

Taurus, April 20-May 21: I seek my Self through what I have. I use stability and persistence for the benefit of myself and others.

Gemini, May 22-June 20: I seek my Self through what I think. My keen perceptive intuition is all that is needed for the evolution of myself and others.

Cancer, June 21-July 22: I seek my Self through what I feel. I am the star in a sea of stars, I am Water and the Moon, I provide the haven, the safe haven, in the universe.

Leo, July 23- Aug 22: I seek my Self through what I create. I am the Monarch of the universe, I am the Heart of hearts. I am the heart of Creative energy.

Virgo, Aug 23-Sept 22: I seek my Self through what I learn. I am the Magician of the universe. I accept the healing and magical powers I have or will use. The key for tapping into my deeper resource is the ever-increasing acceptance of who I am now.

Libra, Sept 23-Oct 22: I seek my Self through what I unite. I hold the celestial balance in my hands; I am the Cosmic Judge. I am the artist and the lover, Peacemaker of the Heavens.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, Dec. 18th

The arrival of Libra Moon (12:07AM PST) each month usually signals a golden opportunity to smooth over relationship troubles and to explore your gifts as a creative artist. The challenge right now is that Venus in Capricorn forms a square to Saturn in Libra (6:19AM PST). This is known in the astrological terminology as a mutual reception because Venus is located in a Saturn-ruled sign (Capricorn) while Saturn is located in a Venus-ruled sign (Libra). This can be helpful and supportive if the mathematical connection between the two celestial bodies is harmonious. However, the square of 90-degrees is usually more frictional and abrasive in its nature. The bottom line is that you can still make a couple of great leaps forward in strengthening the bonds of a primary partnership and tapping into your artistic treasure-trove of skills is do-able. Whether or not, you will feel totally happy and confident during the process is questionable. And some rough edges – on the emotional plane in particular – are likely to arise. Cautionary and conservative vibes coming from the beautiful ringed planet are also strong around 5:00PM PST as the Moon parallels Saturn. By tomorrow, a Sun-Saturn 60-degree tie will combine with the monthly Moon-Saturn zodiacal union to really ramp up the serious and profound energy-field associated with this planet that has much to do with focus, hard work, structure, form, responsibility and climbing up the ladder of worldly success.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 18th

Although we seek harmony today, we may feel as if our lives are out of balance. The Moon shifts into Libra the Scales at 3:06 am EST, but tense aspects with wild Uranus and intense Pluto push us to the limits of extreme emotions. Meanwhile, loving Venus is more restrained now as she forms a square to restrictive Saturn, setting obstacles on the path to pleasure. We’re tempted to retreat, wondering if relationships are worth so much effort.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might prefer to be a hermit today, but obligations that involve others may get in your way. You don’t mind being with someone you like, but it seems as if even your best friends are making too many demands on you now. Although you are socially oriented by nature, it’s healthier to get in touch with your own needs than to be distracted by trying to meet another person’s expectations. Spend some time by yourself so you can feel better about interpersonal relationships later on.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may acknowledge that slowing down is healthy, but you resent the limitations that your current commitments are placing on you. Instead of stubbornly fighting the resistance you face today, just let go of your personal agenda for a while. The path ahead will open for you when you aren’t pressuring everyone to follow your plan. Relax and go with the flow.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t seem to be very interested in listening to other people’s criticism today. It isn’t that your beliefs are based upon idealistic fantasies; it’s just that you can see the flaws in a current relationship as well as anyone else. But you know that your feelings come and go, like the rising and falling of the tides, so it’s pointless to struggle against strong currents. It may be wiser to wait for the tide to change before announcing your intentions.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although others seem to go out of their way to be nice to you now, you can intuitively sense if they’re being shallow and just saying positive things to get attention. However, they may genuinely want to be your friend. Moving past your fears and expressing your concerns will force the issue, enabling you to see if your initial resistance was well founded. Be honest; it’s more important to maintain your integrity than to keep up appearances.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There may be noticeable forward movement concerning your finances today, but things still aren’t progressing as fast as you wish. Everything is taking more time than it should, so nothing you do seems to have the desired effect. But rather than being too self-critical or getting frustrated, a smarter strategy now might be to retreat. Stop chasing your tail for no reason; instead, be kind to yourself and replenish your energy reserves.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Self-doubt leads you to reconsider a decision made recently, especially if you weren’t being realistic about your abilities. Your assumptions may be irrational and your expectations exaggerated, since you were looking at your life through rose-colored glasses. However, now you’re beginning to see things in their proper light again. Don’t give up prematurely; you might be discouraged today, yet the situation will likely work out beneficially in the long run.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

These days may not flow easily, but even with the holiday distractions you are more concerned with your work and family issues. Paradoxically, you could look back on this time with great appreciation for everything you had to endure. Nevertheless, circumstances are forcing you to make much-needed constructive changes. Don’t waste energy fighting the inevitable. Letting go of control helps makes room for whatever comes next.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you are a harsh judge of yourself or others, you could inadvertently push someone away. But no matter what you do today, fate will ultimately play a deciding role in the outcome of events. It’s futile to limit your options, even if you cannot see the positive potential in the current situation. Instead of placing so much attention on what could happen, just go along for the ride. Most minor problems seem bigger now than they really are and will resolve naturally in just a few days.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could be having a tough time now keeping up with everyone in your life. Some of your peers seem to be moving faster than you are today, yet you aren’t overly motivated to catch up. You finally realize that everyone has a different role to play, so you really don’t need to maintain the hectic pace unless it’s warranted. It’s difficult acknowledging that you can’t do everything you wanted to do. However, letting go of dreams that have not panned out will make you happier in the long run.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your pragmatic outlook on life enables you to be less emotional about cutting your losses and moving on. However, it’s not wise to act too quickly because your key planet Saturn squares delicious Venus, subduing your pleasures and delaying real gratification. You may sell yourself short now, so wait a few days before making a significant agreement. Although the odds don’t appear to be in your favor today, the energy will shift in a few days.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s not wise to pin your hopes for personal satisfaction on a romantic relationship now because you would be better off to aim for a higher expression of love. Sensual enjoyment isn’t out of the question, but a deeper and more spiritual connection can bring you greater happiness. Even if the fulfillment of a wonderful fantasy seems out of reach, don’t let that stop you from aspiring toward becoming a more compassionate person.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s hard to get into the holiday spirit today, even though the season is drawing near. Unfortunately, you might feel as if you missed the rocket ship that was scheduled to carry you into next year. But you’re not ready to let go of old dreams, even if you’re feeling disappointed. Your vision is being tested; don’t take the easy way out by just discarding what’s important to you. Keep the faith, no matter what.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, December 17th

We can become so intent on being efficient today with the Moon in detail-oriented Virgo that we lose sight of the big picture. Although concentrating on the specifics is usually a smart strategy, the Moon’s third-quarter square to expansive Sagittarius can provoke a crisis as we attempt to balance these two extreme approaches. Thankfully, the Moon forms a fluid trine to sweet Venus, smoothing over the rough spots and bringing us satisfaction.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Knowing exactly what you want to accomplish today may not be sufficient, for you must also have a workable plan to reach your goals. It could be difficult to break down a major project into manageable steps, but this is the best way to ensure finishing what you start. However, avoid temptations to measure your progress for a day or two. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you can get done when you don’t worry so much about the results.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can take time to enjoy yourself today if you make sure that you keep your goals relatively simple. However, don’t just assume that you can skip out on your obligations. You may be tempted to avoid an unpleasant task or leave it for tomorrow. Unfortunately, circumstances can be unforgiving now, so work as hard as you can to complete your chores before going out to play.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult for others to pin you down today. You aren’t likely to share too many details of your inner process now because you could be fearful that someone will expect more than you’re able to deliver. However, your worries are likely unfounded. Rather, it’s your tendency to avoid making a commitment that encourages your friends to want more particulars. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to hold back; you’re better off saying what’s on your mind, even if it’s not what anyone wants to hear.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may take extra steps to confirm your schedule with others to prevent anything from going wrong today. Unfortunately, your advanced planning could end up having the opposite effect; too much attention to detail now can create a lack of flexibility and become an open invitation for a late appointment or missed event. Add plenty of extra time into your daily calendar so it won’t fall apart like a house of cards.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Instead of beginning a new project today, it’s smarter to build on something you’ve already started. Even if you’re bored with whatever you are doing now, don’t slip into the trap of believing that you can have more fun if you were only playing an entirely different game. Changing your current direction won’t necessarily make you any happier; in fact, you only have to change your mind. A positive attitude makes you a better team player.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s natural for you to focus on each individual component of a project, but today you might become so involved with what you’re doing that you lose track of your overall goals. Finding balance between narrow concentration and global thinking may be a familiar trouble spot, but now you’re aware of the problems that can arise when going to either extreme. It may not be easy, but you should be able to accomplish more if you can keep both perspectives in your current awareness.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not want to continue on the same trajectory because you’re looking for a new adventure. It may be easy to make changes within the confines of your fantasies, but it’s more difficult to do it in the real world. Dreaming about your ideal future helps you feel better in the present moment, but you have to return to reality sooner or later. Thankfully, a very small modification to your current behavior may be all that’s needed to alter your direction.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends might think that they’re supporting you, but you may not be happy with the way they show it today. You prefer one hundred percent honesty, yet you really don’t like anyone telling you what to do. If you have already made up your mind, you want others to offer constructive advice now rather than being a Monday-morning quarterback. Nevertheless, you may be wiser to accept that they mean well and be thankful for their concern.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s complicated to set specific goals now, and even more difficult to gauge how you are doing. Even if you believe that you know your destination, you can’t tell whether or not you’re making progress unless you set measurable milestones along the way. Don’t wait until the end to see if you’re successful. Instead, break down your project into small manageable tasks and step through them one at a time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s crucial to balance your long-term goals with what’s already on your calendar for today. However, you still must work with others and they may not possess the same level of clarity that you do. Although you intuitively know what’s right, it’s challenging now to explain your choices to anyone else. Don’t waste your energy trying to justify your behavior; just go ahead and do what’s necessary. You can always share your logic after the fact if you are so inclined.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be more interested in convincing others to work with you on a pet project today. Even if you don’t have to involve anyone else in your decision-making process, you can gain benefit by enlisting the approval of your friends or family. Don’t assume too much or you’ll feel discouraged if your goals aren’t supported by your peers. Avoid disappointment by sharing your plans and then listening carefully to the feedback you receive.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s nearly impossible to know how much effort you should put toward garnering support for your long-term goals. You can sound desperate if you’re overly insistent, making others less eager to help you today if you demonstrate a lack of confidence. It could be just as problematic if you’re so cocky that you appear totally self-sufficient. Remember, positive thought is powerful and works in your favor now if you’re clear about your intentions when asking for assistance.
