Your Love Horoscopes for The Week Of January 13th

This might be a week that pulls especially tight around your heartstrings. An emotionally charged Full Moon in tender Cancer on Wednesday may offer clarity and enlightenment concerning your feelings for someone close. You might also feel extra hypersensitive, so try not to allow your partner’s fluctuating moods to unravel you. On Thursday, a testy square between the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, might add to any already existing romantic distress. The remedy? Make love, not war.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A domestic flare-up might lead to a heated argument between you and your partner on Wednesday or Thursday. This will be a sensitive subject, but if you remember that you’re meant to work together to resolve the matter, it’ll make a world of difference. “Who’s the boss?” is the last question you need to ask this week when it comes to your love life. If you’re too busy trying to remain in charge, you might win the battle. Unfortunately, you might also lose the love.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

An emotionally charged conversation might leave you feeling wounded. At the same time, however, it might be necessary to consider how honest you’ve been about verbalizing your feelings to a loved one. By Thursday, a conversation with a colleague about your love life might not go well so be careful how much personal information you choose to divulge. If there are any feelings of jealousy or competition at the office, one coworker in particular might use your emotional vulnerability against you. Be aware.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Sometimes, the only way to get back to harmony in your love life is through conflict. This week, you will certainly feel that is true. On Thursday, you’ll need to address a difficult setback in your relationship. This may have to do with your sex life — especially if you and your lover have experienced tension in this department lately. Try not to turn this into a blame game or you’ll only wind up taking a defensive stance. Voice your concerns in a non-confrontational way and be willing to reveal where you’re vulnerable. A breakthrough is possible.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re already one of the most sensitive zodiac signs, thanks to being ruled by the emotionally charged Moon. This week, a Full Moon in your sign will only trigger this even further. You might shed tears of sorrow about any existing unhappiness in your love life, or tears of joy if you’re in a rare position of bliss. Truth be told, these days love is not an easy journey for you. You’re at a crossroads in your relationship, and on Wednesday you might experience an almost intuitive moment of clarity. Either way, revealing your feelings will not prove detrimental; it’ll only demonstrate your strength.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel as if you need to guard your feelings this week, but if so try not to shut out your romantic potential or your current lover in the process. Self-protection might become the single greatest barrier that prevents you from achieving intimacy. Thankfully, this does not have to be the case. What if you used your courageous heart to love harder and stronger instead of worrying about the slight possibility of rejection? Ah, that approach would be life changing. Consider it.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

If you find yourself wrapped up in a lover’s quarrel, try to disengage from the heat of the moment. Consider talking to a friend about the current situation in your personal life, because it’s possible you’ll receive viable emotional insight from a pal. Even so, an argument with your sweetheart might not be avoidable at this point. If you find yourself in a deadlock, ask yourself if it’s more important to be in love or to be right. Act accordingly.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you’re single and looking for love, there will be a happy prospect opening up for you after Saturday. This glimmer of hope will only beam brighter by the end of the month, but for now hold on to the hope that your love life will get better — because it will! In the meantime, this week you might feel too distracted with domestic strife to even care about your romantic needs. That’s OK — take care of your family drama. Love will happen soon enough. Remember: What’s meant to be yours will not pass you by.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you’ve been feeling anger or resentment building in a romantic relationship, you might reach a tipping point this week. You might have tried to convince yourself that holding your frustration in may diffuse the situation, but in reality the opposite is happening. You’re likely to feel at the point where it’s more painful to remain quiet now than if you’d finally explode and lay your feelings out in the open. Congratulations … this will lead to progress. And (hopefully) healing.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you’re feeling hypersensitive about a fiscal matter between you and your partner then this week, things may come to a head. You might realize that your mate is in a precarious situation when it comes to money — one that you find unsettling. Or, it’s possible that the two of you are trying to come together to make a major purchase (such as a home or new business venture or even a car) and one of you has spotless credit while the other’s is quite messy. Now is the time to address all the holes in your financial relationship.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

An emotionally charged week is likely for you and your partner thanks to Wednesday’s Full Moon falling in your relationship sector. These days, if you’re feeling disconnected from your mate you’re especially aware of the impact it’s having on your union. Make a decision this week to relink as a couple physically and spiritually. Cuddle, spend time at home together and don’t forget the pillow talk! Your sweetheart needs TLC. So do you.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you’re having trouble reconciling a difference of ideology or spiritual beliefs with your lover then this week you might feel that you’ve reached a breaking point. On Thursday you and your sweetheart might realize that it’s no longer acceptable to simply “agree to disagree” — at least not on this matter. There’s likely to be a fundamental difference in a core conviction between the two of you. Will it be a deal breaker? Time will tell, but in the end you’ll both need to be true to yourselves if you expect to remain true to one another.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This week your love life might receive plenty of attention – most likely in a warm, sentimental “let’s have dessert first!” kind of way. If you’ve recently started to date someone new it’s possible that you and your sweetheart will exchange those first sweet words of love to one another. You might also take the relationship to the next level physically, if you haven’t already done so. An affair may reach a crucial point — one where you’ll choose to go all in or possibly end it once and for all.

Your Charm For January 10

Taurus The Bull

Today’s Meaning:

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is patient, reliable, warmhearted, loving, persistent, determined, placid and security loving. This is a person you respect.

General Description:   

Second sign of the Zodiac, April 21st to May 22nd. Ruling planet Venus; correct metal Copper. Those born under Taurus were thought to be endowed with mental and physical strength, strong minded, clever, fearless and emotional. The correct Taurus gem is the Sapphire. The sapphire is of a deep blue color, and the darker the blue the greater its value. The ancients wore Sapphire charms for protection from poison, plague, fever, diseases of the skin, and to bring peace and happiness upon its wearer. The eyes were rubbed by a Sapphire to preserve them from injury by smallpox. King Solomon’s seal is said to have been a Sapphire.

Maria DeSimone  Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

The Moon passing through stable Taurus on Friday, followed by an early morning sextile between Venus and Saturn, will create an atmosphere of realism and security in matters of the heart.

If you’re in a relationship then you’ll hold on tight to your lover, appreciating him or her for warming your body and soul. If single, it’ll be a good time to carefully consider what you want and deserve in love. After Saturday when the Moon glides into Gemini, you’ll be able to intellectualize your emotions easily.

Cerebral thinking certainly takes over by late Saturday afternoon when Mercury enters innovative Aquarius. Since Aquarius rules technology and the Internet, you might maximize the Gemini Moon and Mercury in Aquarius energy by setting up a profile on an Internet dating website or by initiating a conversation with someone you’re attracted to via a social media account. You have nothing to lose!

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 10th

The Moon is in Taurus for another day — placing an overall emphasis on fiscal responsibility and anchoring your ideals in the real world. Insights abound early on — thanks to a Mercury-Jupiter contra-parallel (12:35AM).  Cooking, baking and enjoying a nature trek are in the cards while the Moon trines the Sun in earth signs (9:35AM). Don’t allow the shadow side of the beautiful ringed-planet to rain on your parade as the Moon makes its monthly opposition with Saturn (11:08AM).  It shouldn’t be that hard to bounce back from adversity since the Moon trines Venus (11:58AM). Love vibrations increase in frequency around the time-period that the Moon and Venus engage in this mutual-admiration alignment.  Some of these romantic sentiments can remain influential for several hours into the afternoon and evening due to an approaching Sun-Venus retrograde conjunction that energizes 22 degrees of Capricorn and which arrives tomorrow morning at 4:26AM. A party atmosphere can attract you like a magnet tonight. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 9th

We seek the simple life today but we may feel as if we’re anchored to the status quo. Although the steadfast Taurus Moon prevents us from racing into the future, we could grow frustrated with our inability to embrace change. Four planets in earthy Capricorn bless us with a sense of practicality, even as we resist what’s coming our way. Nevertheless, an innovative Mercury-Uranus alignment might suddenly free us from whatever holds us back.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you are ready to move a project ahead, don’t miss your chance to take advantage of the determination of today’s Taurus Moon. Although you might not zip along toward your goal, this cosmic energy is great for making methodical progress toward reaching your objectives. But don’t plan on crossing the finish line anytime soon. Simply fix a position on the distant horizon, carefully aim your intentions and inch closer to your destination. Slow and steady wins the race.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

There isn’t anything wrong with having a vivid imagination, but your fantasies may fade just enough today to allow you to see the subtle differences between fact and fancy. The Moon’s visit to your sign enables you to reestablish your center of gravity, especially if you are feeling uncertain about the future. Don’t run away from your dreams, even if a more pragmatic approach might be comforting. There’s no need for your fear of the unknown to stand in the way of following your bliss.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You see opportunities for advancement through a very practical lens today, but you still might not be able to make much headway if you remain stuck in the past. You could be reluctant to share your concerns with anyone else because you believe that self-doubt grows if you give it voice. There’s no reason to push too hard now; slow your pace so you can put your clever ingenuity to work. Stay calm and trust the creative process.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Everything feels a bit lighter today as an ongoing inner dialogue between two sides of your nature begins to subside. However, being released from one set of worries can quickly make room for a new list of concerns if you start to question your ability to carry out your plan. Don’t waste your mind-power judging yourself harshly before you even begin. Your journey may take longer than you think, so stay on track even if you’re not seeing the progress you expect right away.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This isn’t the best time to visualize too far into the future or you could miss something critical in the present moment. The reflective Moon’s visit to your 10th House of Career prompts you to wonder what business opportunities will come your way this year. Making plans is a constructive activity as long as you also pay close attention to your current reality. If you’re looking too far ahead now, you might not notice a teacher or helper who is standing right next to you. What you seek may not be that far away at all.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Unchecked optimism is a significant part of your personal story these days and you are quite hopeful that things will only improve. Luckily, you can imagine a clear path that leads you to your preferred destination while the Moon moves through sensible Taurus. Take time to realign your priorities; the less energy you waste today, the better your chances of reaching your goal.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may wonder why someone might not trust you now, but your focus shifts as the day progresses. You become less eager to play detective and increasingly interested in demonstrating your creative side. More than anything, you want to be seen in a positive light. Fortunately, you can find the happiness you seek without too much extra effort. Let go of old fears and trust your intuition. Be ready to gratefully accept the admiration heading your way.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might have a unique approach to dealing with someone who has a very different perspective than you. However, initiating a serious conversation today could alter the way you view the current situation. What anyone else thinks about you is less important than how you feel about yourself. But don’t try to avoid an intense interaction since honest dialogue is the best teacher now when it comes to acceptance and forgiveness, for yourself as well as for others.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your life is about to get busier again, and although you might try to resist at first, this should ultimately be a positive change. Your new schedule isn’t only about introducing more activities into your routine; you are also anticipating all that you can learn with so much going on. The overall intensity continues to accelerate, so conserve your energy. A steady work pace enables you to accomplish more with greater ease.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have a strong sense of purpose now, even though you might feel a bit let down if you haven’t achieved your financial goals. Your stress level could escalate if you believe that you’re running out of time. You are driven to push hard today for you fear that you won’t have sufficient energy later on. Luckily, your fortitude is in better shape than you realize. Forge ahead with confidence; you may be happily surprised when you see how much progress you can make.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are naturally adept at keeping your desires and needs to yourself. Even if others don’t realize your real intentions now, they’re about to find out as chatty Mercury leaves your 12th House of Secrets in a couple of days and pushes into your 1st House of Personality. In the meantime, visualize your new direction to prepare for action. You won’t reach your goals immediately, but you should notice a positive energetic shift within a few days.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can label your process however you wish, but the fact remains that you’re growing spiritually in ways that will continue enriching your life for years to come. However, your more pragmatic side encourages you to question the value of any impractical endeavors today. Don’t panic; the answers you need will appear just in time for you to start your next magical journey.

Moon in Taurus (Jan. 8 to Jan. 11, 2014)

Moon in Taurus

Jan 8, 2014 to Jan 11, 2014

It’s a steady and grounded Taurus Moon. Not a day for roller coasters, airborne, screaming with delight. Or is it? Indulge in the sheer pleasure of being here, adored by gravity, earth’s invisible embrace. Enjoy your weight. Roll in a newly mowed lawn. Celebrate your voice: shout, sing or whisper in somebody’s ear. Then drink a soothing tea for the thyroid and throat. You might be feeling a desire for more comfort and security now. Taurus says your prosperity takes organic gardening. Nothing greedy or toxic, just planning, patience, true nourishment, your bills paid in full, a surplus in your checking account and honoring the ways in which you’re already wealthy. If your neck or jaw is stiff, ask yourself, “What am I resisting?” This Moon makes it easy to feel stubborn. But in a changing world, such strength can sometimes defeat itself. Don’t try to move immovable objects.

The Past and the Future

The Past and the Future

Searching for answers in a time of monumental changes…

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of uranus square pluto, uranus, jupiter, cancer, blogs, astrology

We are, as I write here almost every week, living in changing times. The seven tense squares between electrifying Uranus and transformational Pluto signal a complex period when altering institutions and ideas is necessary. Some shifts surprise us, coming as shocks to collective and personal perspectives and experiences that most of us will try to avoid. Riding the edge of these powerful waves can look and feel risky, but it’s safer and smarter than trying to stick to the status quo.

An eye for the future

I’m a strong believer in our capacity to create a better tomorrow and tend to be a little skeptical about the wisdom of the past. Certainly, we wouldn’t have the many gifts of civilization without the work and thought of our ancestors. Yet, I’m resistant to relying on old models, which is as much a reflection of my own taste for experimentation as it is of current astrological conditions.

Nevertheless, Jupiter is the planet of wisdom; not the only source of it, but the lens through which we get perspective and understanding that shape our values, beliefs and expectations. This meaningful planet is in the tradition loving sign Cancer until mid-July.

Take a closer look at yourself

This transit means that there’s a great deal to be learned by taking a second look at what we’ve learned from our personal history. The values and beliefs of our families may not entirely match current realities but it’s worth reviewing them. Underneath the debris of discarded ideas are key points that are applicable to the present. You might have to peel away some of the judgments that strangle traditional wisdom with models of guilt, shame and punishment. This is certainly not about recreating the reality of our parents and grandparents … or taking on religious prejudices that have we’ve struggled to leave behind. It’s about building bridges between the future and the past. Reinterpreting the truths of our ancestors makes them useful to us now.

Keep an open mind

Jupiter in sensitive Cancer is also a reminder that we can even find answers in our emotions. Normally, we think of strong feelings as distortions and subjective experiences that close minds instead of opening them. However, this transit enriches us with understanding when we are willing to observe our emotions rather than criticizing or rationalizing them. This is not to say that every personal reaction and response is a reflection of some higher truth. But when we face our feelings with open minds we find critical kernels of information about who we are and what we can become.

The utility of these observations, though, depends upon how we interpret them. If these old experiences are seen as persistent forces that will always evoke the same responses, then don’t look back. When patterns are viewed as permanent markings on our psyches they inhibit growth. Yet when we understand that emotional wounds can heal just like physical ones, we are no longer frozen by personal trauma. We become free to live in the present where we can draw upon the wisdom of the past to create a brighter future.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 9th

Keep a notebook by your bed to record dreams, visions and out-of-the-body excursions as the Moon makes a sextile of 60-degrees to Neptune (12:57AM). Feelings of deja vu and telepathic communications abound as the Moon and Chiron connect via 60-degrees (2:07PM).  The trend of high-level thinking and psychic advancement continues as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree to Uranus (3:49PM). Mercury in association with its higher-guardian planet Uranus can open wide the gates of knowledge and wisdom.  The Moon is in earthy Taurus all day and a late-evening 60-degree connection by the lunar orb with Jupiter (10:49PM) are steering you toward golden opportunities — especially in the fine and graphic arts or along literary-educational lines.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 2nd

We may be annoyed that the holidays are over, but heading back to work today is not a valid reason to be angry. Nevertheless, the responsible Capricorn Sun forms a harsh square with warrior Mars today, increasing the potential for petty ego skirmishes. Our adrenaline based fight-or-flight response might get the best of us, even if we know what to do. Meanwhile, we grow more hopeful once the Moon shifts into futuristic Aquarius at 12:02 pm EST.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Obtaining what you want today may be elusive if your frustration escapes its container and spills over into your world. Unfortunately, it’s too late to enroll in a stress management class. If you are feeling isolated, don’t blame others. Striking out only pushes them further away. Go running or hit the gym, but whatever you do, make sure to sweat it out. If you discuss your feelings with someone you trust, be sure to approach the topic gently and treat your confidant with the utmost respect.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might want to take off the padded gloves today and express your dissatisfaction. But remember that if you lash out (even if it’s only with words) you will have to deal with the consequences sooner than later. Don’t create conflict unless you are sure that you want to fully engage with the rest of the process. It may be much more beneficial to wage peace in your personal life rather than war.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you might feel emotional tension all around you today, you can be quite productive if you simply adapt to the changing dynamics. But if your need to share what’s on your mind prompts you to fight the wrong battles, you could end up exhausted and not any closer to your goals. However, engaging in physical activity or doing any type of hard work reduces the stress and increases your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

This is no time to be harboring resentments because unexpressed emotions have a way of cycling back around and catching you off guard. You may like the idea of withdrawing socially for a while, though you still might engage in an intense interaction if you feel threatened. If stress triggers a confrontation today, be sensible and do whatever you can to keep the conversation civil. You don’t need to take the bait if someone is egging you on and looking for trouble. Hot tempers won’t lead to a cool solution.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you think your positive intentions are being blocked by someone today, remind yourself that the obstacles in your path aren’t necessarily only on the outside. Naturally, you can’t just snap your fingers and change the external circumstances. Nevertheless, you are fully capable of altering how you react to the situation. Instead of confronting anyone, take a few deep breaths and just get on with your own work. The less you push back now, the better.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Free-floating anxiety can be quite bothersome today, especially if you’re trying to overcome feelings of isolation. At first, it might seem as if the solution to your dilemma is to share your thoughts with another person. But he or she may not be as accessible as you wish. Consider participating in a team sport or putting in extra hours on a group project. Either way, don’t withdraw now; keeping your energy moving is the best way to lift your spirits.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A business or romantic partner may act too impulsively today, but your feelings don’t diminish in intensity even if you disengage from the situation. In some ways, you’re more frustrated since a lasting solution seems a long way off. There’s no reason to worry about fixing what has already happened. Just don’t make things worse now by losing your temper. Remember, you can still let your emotions flow without drawing others into your drama.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might try to hold back a flood of fiery passions today, but your feelings are likely to spill out into the open anyhow. Be aware that others may be overwhelmed by your emotional heat wave if you suddenly release your stored-up tensions. It’s time for you to do what Scorpios do best: transform the negative into positive energy. No matter what the question is now, the answer is love.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have an overabundance of physical energy, but you might believe that there’s no easy way to express it today. However, keeping your feelings locked up inside doesn’t work, either. You may mistakenly assume that if others knew what you are really thinking that they wouldn’t like you as much. Unfortunately, the truth is that by keeping secrets now, you’re inadvertently building walls where you don’t really need them. Be courageous; dismantle borders instead of fortifying them.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Hopefully, no one will push you too hard today since you are likely to respond in a way that is quite disruptive. Your internal sense of your own power is growing. Like a capacitor in an electrical circuit, you might hold back now until enough of a charge is built that your release has the desired impact. Just be careful not to act too soon or your recent hard work will be for naught. Patience is your best weapon of self-defense.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are learning powerful lessons these days about what not to say. If you just express everything, the end result may be opposite of what you actually want. But withholding your feelings isn’t in your best interest, either. Whatever you share now can affect others, so it’s best to speak only after you reconsider your motives. Remember, it’s not just about you today; act for the greatest good for all involved.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may feel residual anger from a recent situation, you are entering a new phase when you experience a wider range of emotions. This means that, assuming you pay attention to what’s in your heart, you can be more proactive in a positive manner rather than feeling like you are just at the mercy of the changing currents. Although you might not have control over your initial reaction to the current circumstances, you can choose how to respond. Demonstrate your good intentions by taking the high road whenever possible.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 2nd

The Moon is void in Capricorn from 3:13AM (during a potentially loving-nurturing and business-reinforcing Moon-Venus union) to 9:04AM when the lunar orb enters Aquarius. Adding to the early 2014 possible misery-loves-company index are a Moon-Saturn parallel (4:59AM), the Sun in Capricorn square to Mars in Libra (4:15PM), and Mercury in Capricorn opposite Jupiter in Capricorn (11:12PM).  While the Moon’s entry into the eleventh zodiacal sign can emphasize team sports, group projects, community activities and participation in global causes close to your heart and philosophy of life, the quartet of the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter creates a tension-filled T-Square type triangle with the red planet Mars at the fulcrum. Therefore, wisdom dictates the need for care and conservative behavior patterns to replace unruly, rash attitudes and approaches to resolving difficulties at work or on the home front.  The Moon forming a supportive sextile of 60-degrees to Uranus (10:47PM) can provide some positive leverage — helping you garner intuitive flashes that assist in making breakthroughs in higher consciousness.
