Just when it seemed that the cosmos was sick and tired of making the red planet Mars into a villain — as it did last Monday and Tuesday — now the fourth main rock from the Sun meanders into an off-kilter, 150-degree link-up with wounded-healer Chiron (1:32AM). Arguing with or tormenting a dear one with abusive language is bush league and responding to the lowest common denominator of this challenging alignment. Instead, think of a martial art you might want to learn or investigate the nutritional properties of various teas and herbs. If you want to fight and be a warrior, join a campaign for peaceful purposes or be a dynamic ambassador spreading goodwill around the globe. Mercury is also showing signs of distress by making a contra-parallel with the Sun (3:04AM) while squaring Pluto (1:30PM). When Mercury becomes weak or compromised, communication channels are often temporarily blocked and you may need extra oomph and pizazz to get your points across. Stress may also be rising on the emotional front and with primary partnerships due to a square-off of 90-degrees afflicting Venus and Juno in fixed, power signs (1:52PM). Ouch! Feminine issues may seem too hot to handle for the time being. Don’t overdo a visit to the mall by going on a spending spree you might quickly regret. In the meantime, a moderate rescue effort is being conducted by Mars and Uranus making a trine of 120-degrees in fire signs (1:58PM) just a few hours before the Moon and Sun make a similar trine in earth signs (4:18PM). Combine your intuition and common sense into a dynamic duo to get you out of troubled waters. However, the last aspect by the Moon and Sun (4:18PM) begins a void lunar twilight zone that continues until 5:06AM tomorrow. Keep lingering worries at bay tonight and immerse yourself in a bestseller or film classic. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 13th
If you fell into a swoon yesterday — during the fairly long void lunar cycle in happy-go-lucky Sagittarius — you may be in for a rude awakening this morning when the Moon enters hard-nosed, industrious Capricorn (2:57AM). With the Moon now prowling around in the third earth sign of the zodiac for the next 2+ days, it is wise to focus considerable attention on reaching important career milestones or professional aims. A Moon-Venus 60-degree rapport (7:31AM) certainly encourages hard work, combined with finesse and sensitivity, to bring any reluctant business associates to the bargaining table. Lift your productivity I.Q. several notches — courtesy of a lunar trine to the largest asteroid Ceres (3:37PM). This liaison can also put an exclamation point on hiking favorite nature trails or taking a class to improve your culinary talents. Tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration to conquer old fears as the Moon makes its monthly union with Pluto (6:05PM). This is always a good aspect for proceeding forcefully into serious research projects. The love boat enters exotic ports of call this evening when Venus makes a flowing trine to Neptune in water signs (11:34PM). Anyone not currently in a primary relationship can groove with a beloved art, craft or hobby. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, September 12
Although we can see off into the distance today, it’s a struggle to balance our far-sightedness with our ability to focus on the current details. The globe-trotting Sagittarius Moon expands our horizons, enabling us to visualize an upcoming great adventure. However, the Moon’s dynamic square to the detail-oriented Virgo Sun heightens the conflicts that could teach us a lesson. Exploring beneath the surface may be enough to prevent a meltdown
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It’s surprising how quickly and easily a complex situation can resolve into a much simpler one. You might think that you’re out of the woods, but don’t fool yourself into believing you’re home free. Your current relief may largely result from the improving circumstances, but some denial could also contribute to your positive state of mind. Remember, avoiding an awkward issue feels good for a while, but it’s not the same thing as really fixing a problem
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Normally, you assume that you understand what’s going on because you instinctively trust your senses. But it’s difficult to settle down today because somehow you know more than you actually perceive. Logically, you can convince yourself not to take a leap of faith, but in your heart you still believe your intuition. Ultimately, you will feel more empowered once you open your mind and give yourself permission to dream.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You may be uncomfortable with your feelings and might attempt to hide them from someone close to you, but this doesn’t mean that you are antisocial today. Paradoxically, your easygoing banter could encourage others to believe that you are being more revealing now than you actually are. Even if you are clever enough to fool everyone else, be careful about going so far that you also fool yourself. What you share is up to you; just make sure you know where to draw the line.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Your sweeping vision is easily communicated to others today. Your associates at work are eager to place their trust in you because it seems as if your feet are placed solidly on the ground. But you may not be as sensible now as you appear. It’s best to be honest and let others know that there are still a lot of details missing from your plan. It’s more important to be real than to sound as if you have all the answers. Collaborating with others enhances your chances for success.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Although you’re likely to take the high road today, you’re still itching to make a statement about something that bothers you. Fortunately, you can ward off negativity by concentrating on your spiritual beliefs instead of being sabotaged by your own emotions. But the power of positive thinking alone isn’t enough to permanently put things back in order. You will have to follow up with decisive actions or your good intentions will be for naught.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Even if you’re stressing over significant issues, ultimately they won’t matter all that much in the long run. You want to resolve a conflict, but the specifics of the situation are not as important as you may be led to believe. Too much information could make you anxious because you want to focus on the bigger picture. Unfortunately, it’s always a challenge for you to let go of the details. Taking the time to relax or meditate allows you to put your worries into proper perspective.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You have high hopes about accomplishing many things today, but you may be unrealistic in your expectations. Your current ability to complete your list of ambitious chores is complicated by a louder-than-usual creative buzz that you don’t want to waste. Naturally, you would rather be artsy and crafty, but now you might just have to fulfill your responsibilities before you follow your muse.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Maintaining a high level of integrity is essential to you, yet it’s challenging to convince everyone else to go along with your priorities today. Each person that is involved with you and your work has a different idea about what is necessary. Unfortunately, others may be unwilling to listen to what you have to say now, complicating your efforts. Nevertheless, staying focused on your final goal allows them to join in with their support when they are ready.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your flexible attitude is an asset today, yet your ability to adapt doesn’t mean that you’re wishy-washy. In fact, if someone at work pushes you too hard, you may become quite stubborn in your defense of your job performance. But don’t allow your ego to convince you that it’s okay to tell others what to do. Instead, encourage each person to find his or her own unique way. Give everyone else the same freedom that you want in return.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Getting over your fears is hard work, but reality is offering you a special opportunity to learn how to deepen your trust now in all things that are beyond your five senses. The veil between worlds has grown thinner and you may see visions now, even when your eyes are closed. Usually you do well when you rely strictly on the facts; today, you’ll perform even better if you put your imagination to work, too.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Messages may pop into awareness in symbolic form today and you might have to step out of your comfort zone to receive them. Pay careful attention to your friends and associates for clues. They will be guiding you now, even if they seem to have nothing to say. However, you have to listen with your heart to hear what’s going on beneath the surface. Recognizing the limitations of language empowers you to see the potential everywhere you look.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are traveling on automatic pilot today as you express your desire to take care of others. But this isn’t about any sort of verbal disclosure on your part; rather it’s more about what you actually do. You’re not interested in discussing your life intentions now. Stop thinking and initiate direct action before you talk yourself out of a perfectly fine strategy. He who hesitates is lost.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 12th
In the early going, you can rest on your laurels following yesterday’s grand trine in fire signs — composed of the Moon in Sagittarius, Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries. Revelations abound and ingenious ideas can appear in your mind’s-eye like fiery comets dashing through the evening sky. However, if you need to run important errands and take care of key business matters, then consider accomplishing these tasks well before the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in at 10:09AM (activating 21 degrees of Virgo and Sagittarius). Quarter moon cycles like this one emphasize the need to cut through apparent obstacles on physical-emotional levels while you manage your professional affairs with greater finesse. Nevertheless, this solar-lunar face-off of 90-degrees also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 2:57AM tomorrow. Once the void-of-course Moon takes over, pushing the envelope in any direction is fruitless. Relax, smell the roses, appreciate life’s little blessings, and sip your favorite beverage to chase away the blues or a recent build-up of stress. Expect the unexpected around the time that the Sun parallels Uranus (4:50PM). Breakthroughs in higher consciousness can occur when the Sun makes this highly illuminating alignment. Healing forces rise to the occasion when Mercury parallels Chiron (10:06PM). Think more like a mentor or shaman — being a conduit for heavenly wisdom to become earthly knowledge in service to humanity. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Emotions begin to stir coupled with recognizing that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. This is a time when it’s appropriate to get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your “sixth sense” as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your immediate environment

Your Tarot Card for September 11th is Temperance
Temperance
Wednesday, Sep 11th, 2013
What is traditionally known as the Temperance card is a reference to the Soul. Classically female, she is mixing up a blend of subtle energies for the evolution of the personality. One key to interpreting this card can be found in its title, a play on the process of tempering metals in a forge.
Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled “Art” in the Crowley deck.)
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 11th
Maintaining a steady rhythm is a challenge today because we are in the midst of an energetic shift. We don’t feel so carefree now, even though the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 2:35 am EDT. We can act out our aggression and then compensate by retreating just a few moments later because assertive Mars anxiously aligns with uncompromising Pluto. The heat is cranked up another notch as pleasure-seeking Venus tangos into passionate Scorpio.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’re eager to apply what you recently learned to a complex situation at work, but you might not realize the consequences of your current actions. There are dynamic changes on your horizon now that sweet Venus has taken up residence in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. It’s time to ask yourself what you want from others while you can still see the potential of what’s ahead. Keep in mind that everything feels very intense today, so move forward slowly with kindness and compassion.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Collaborating with others continues to be your main focus when your key planet Venus enters your 7th House of Partners today. Thankfully, now you can see beyond the doubts that have previously limited your actions. But instead of wondering how you will complete everything on your plate, think about what motivates the people in your life. Ask questions and actively listen to what is said because you could learn something valuable about yourself as you discover more about someone else’s experiences.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Strangely enough, you may not be able to tell if your life is growing simpler or more complex. Your goal was to create a schedule that allows you enough time for yourself, but now everything seems to be changing again. Go ahead and grab an opportunity to play while you still can, for your work might not afford you so much free time during the next few weeks. If it appears like others are having more fun than you, don’t complain; temporarily set aside your current concerns and join the party.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You want to be enthusiastic about your job today, although you may have to work on recapturing your earlier vision. You might start your day feeling resentful toward someone who won’t cooperate with you. But there’s no reason to hold onto negative feelings. As others grow more supportive in return, make a choice to graciously accept what they offer while still pushing your agenda forward.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Resolving an interpersonal conflict in the morning gives you the maximum amount of time to make the most of the rest of your day. Someone at work might bring you an opportunity that looks promising, but you would be wise to do your due diligence before just saying yes. Ultimately, your new direction may turn out great, but you could easily mislead yourself if you don’t check out the facts thoroughly. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your current sense of nostalgia might lure you back into your past, but, paradoxically, this sentimentality can put you in touch with someone who shares your search for meaning. Fortunately, your memories also activate feelings in the present moment. However, don’t fall into the trap of believing that a current situation is the same as a past one. Ultimately, your future success comes from looking forward, not backward.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Today may seem busier than recent days, partly because you are enthusiastic about getting a lot done. The cheery Sagittarius Moon wires your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, but you could end up spinning your wheels throughout the day and still not have anything tangible to show for your efforts. Avoid the temptation to scatter your energy. Slowing down and checking one thing off your list at a time leads to higher productivity and more satisfying results.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re on the threshold of an exciting opportunity and may be entranced by sweet Venus’ entry into your powerful sign, provoking both desire and fear. You’re aware of the changes in the air and understand that you can’t rely on your old ways of doing things. It’s time to let unfulfilled dreams fade away so you can create new ones that are more relevant and realistic. Ultimately, you’ll feel better once you step away from the past and move into the future.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may have recently experienced a challenging emotional situation when you had to relinquish control for a while. Now, with the evocative Moon back in your sign, you are reawakening to your own desires. You’re motivated to go out and get whatever you want. However, your enthusiasm could be too much if you ride roughshod over someone’s feelings. Remember to balance your goals with the needs of others. You are not alone; your happiness is intertwined with the well-being of the people you love.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
If you are reconsidering your long-term trajectory, it may be time to think about setting new goals and aiming your life in an entirely different direction. Whether or not you actually make any changes now, put away your fantasies and consider only what’s real. However, this is not about giving up on your dreams; it’s more about putting them in proper perspective. Letting go of old expectations frees you to create a more relevant strategy. Once you have a plan in place, you might be pleasantly surprised with the speed of change.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It may feel like a split-personality day, yet holding both perspectives can test your metal. You have a lot to gain by stepping into your power and entertaining visions of the future now that the expansive Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 11th House of Future Dreams. However, you must also be practical when considering what to do because valuable Venus enters your career-minded 10th House today. Personal satisfaction comes from balancing possibilities with practicalities.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Wake up and snap out of your dreams, especially if you’ve been lost in fantasies about exotic adventures and far-off lands. There’s nothing wrong with letting your thoughts wander, but the Moon’s shift into your 10th House of Public Responsibility reflects the work you have to do now. You can’t afford the luxury of drifting in the impractical realms of your imagination today. However, don’t lose touch with your hopes; just express them in the real world, for this is where your vision must ultimately manifest.
Venus in Scorpio (September 11 to October 7, 2013)
Venus in Scorpio
The love planet sizzles in scorching Scorpio
Tarotcom Staff on the topics of venus, scorpio, love, astrologyIt’s getting hot in here! Why? After a lovely time in Libra, love planet Venus moves into sizzling Scorpio from September 11 to October 7, 2013.
While Venus in Libra was all about making relationships peaceful and balanced, Venus in Scorpio will heat things back up to a boiling point. That’s because intense Scorpio wants to dig deep and reveal the truth about everything — including relationships.
This is a time when you and your partner will start getting to the root of your relationship, and issues of suspicion and jealousy could arise. If you want some advice on how to proceed during this time, get a Love Celtic Cross Tarot reading to help you stay cool if it gets too hot.
And realize, you won’t just be questioning each other during this time — you may also begin to question yourself and what you really want.
Scorpio shines a light into the shadows, so those nagging thoughts you tend to push aside are impossible to ignore with Venus in Scorpio. If a relationship issue has been bothering you, but you’ve been putting it aside to make peace — no more. Now it will come into focus and force you to act.
Venus in Scorpio is pretty heavy, but it can be truly amazing, too. All this intensity leads to more intimacy, so if you’re up for the challenge both emotionally and physically you could find this a deeply moving and sexy time that brings you and your partner much closer together.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 11
The cosmos offers you a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges during — what is usually — a fairly pleasant, enthusiastic and goal-oriented transit of the Moon in Sagittarius every month. The first challenge arrives early when Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with far-out Neptune (3:44AM). Hazy astro-psychic weather conditions hold sway under one of these configurations. Therefore, don’t sign legal papers or conduct down-to-earth business for a couple of hours before and after the exact time of this alignment. The other challenge happens almost 12 hours later when Vesta makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Jupiter (3:06PM). Playing fast and loose with investment funds can boomerang. Focus attention on safety and security needs around your residence or office environment. On the opportunity front, Pallas enters Leo (6:53AM) until November 9 — a great zodiacal placement for artists and performers in any field to strut their stuff and rise to prominence in the public eye. The investment realm improves somewhat when Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Vesta (3:59PM) — a favorable aspect that doubles as a boost for enhancing sisterhood ties. Communications with dear ones can lead to emotional empowerment for all concerned as Mercury trines Juno (4:06PM). Take a look at any new lines of fashion and style coming into the apparel and social scenes. Fun, games, sports, and reaching educational objectives are all promoted by a fiery grand triangle as the Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Leo (3:55PM) and Uranus in Aries (7:14PM). Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
Current Moon Phase for Sept. 11th – Waxing Crescent
Crescent Moon
(waxing/44% illumination)
During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.

Venus retrograde, What is it?
Venus retrograde
What is Venus retrograde?
From time to time, due to the relative motion of the Earth and Venus around the Sun, as we look to the sky, Venus appears to make a stop and go backwards. This is the so called retrograde movement, it happens every 18 months or so, and it lasts for about 40 days, which represents 7% of the time. Of all planets, Venus is the one that has the shorter retrograde movement.
What would be the astrological influence of Venus’ retrograde movement?
By definition, Venus is the planet of love and marriage, of relationships and diplomacy, of art and beauty, of fashion and luxury, of money and pleasures.
Going backwards, the venusian influence is diminished, disturbed or internalized, so that the above mentioned areas are afflicted in a way or another.
During this time, feelings are not easily expressed, everyone seems to need more affection and love; also, those with relational issues will have to face the reality. The general advise is to focus on older relationships, to try to make them work, or to understand our true feelings. It will be harder to understand what others feel, though.
We may meet old friends or someone we loved or cared for a long time ago, which might reactivate old feelings, possibly forgotten.
The artistic sensibility is lower than normal or perverted, so that we might buy clothes or artwork that we’ll reject after Venus goes back to direct motion. Therefore it is advised not to buy jewelery or other similar expensive stuff, as we might regret it later. However, Venus retrograde is a good time to buy antiques, artwork of historical value or just second-hand art objects, if you can evaluate them correctly.
What is definitely to avoid during this time?
Weddings, opening of a fashion store, beauty salon, art gallery, launching of a women magazine, buying expensive items of venusian nature, radical changes of the personal look, house redecorations, big parties or other important social events, investments and so on.
What should we do, then?
- clean-up the house and decide which old objects of sentimental value to keep and which to throw away or sell.
- renegociate a contract or a bank loan (but we shouldn’t apply for a new one)
- discuss and clarify things in the current relationship, as our understanding on own feelings is increased, which is not true about others’ feelings, requiring open and sincere communication
- ask genuinely for forgiveness for our mistakes
- contact friends or other persons we care about in order to continue the relationship
- develop our capability to love anyone unconditionally, by meditations, prayers and other spiritual activities

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 10th
Yesterday’s struggles with authority figures continue today as we seek ways to change our tactics without compromising our integrity. The fixed Scorpio Moon won’t let us acquiesce, but we may encounter complicated interpersonal dynamics as the Moon forms stressful aspects with intense Pluto and disruptive Uranus. It might feel as if the time to find true love is running out because romantic Venus leaves relationship-oriented Libra tomorrow.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Finding a perfect balance between being your own person and being what others want can be a real challenge. Although your diplomatic skills may be well honed, turning on the charm today isn’t quite as effective as you wish. Your romantic inclinations are also running on the hot side and if you don’t cool yourself down, you might stir up some uneasy feelings on the way to obtaining what your heart desires. Channel your passion into a creative pursuit, instead.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Although you might take a cautious approach to relationships now, your concerns won’t be sufficient to prevent your inner radiance from shining. You often warm to others slowly, but after you befriend someone your loyalty is legendary. However, you’re ready to jump into the fray and make a new friend today without going through your regular song and dance. Just express yourself naturally and you’ll surely find a groove that works.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You’re feeling extra lucky today, but others don’t seem to take notice — even if you bend the rules a bit to tilt the odds in your favor. If anyone looks closely enough, they might better appreciate that your success stems from your extra effort, not just happenstance. Don’t get too cocky, for circumstances can change quickly when you become overly pleased with your own cleverness. Remember that humility is more appealing than hubris.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You might be very pleased with the richness of your life today, yet you may feel vulnerable because of strong emotional undercurrents which are out of your control. Others won’t likely notice what you are hiding because you’re very skilled at playing the shell game. However, clamming up is not your best strategy now. Sharing your fears with a loved one can keep your thoughts from stagnating as the waters continue to swirl around you.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
It may appear to others that you are dissatisfied with your current situation. It’s true; you could be a bit irritable today, but it’s probably not because of anything specific that’s occurring in your life. In fact, you might actually like what’s happening now, even if you’re having a hard time keeping your feelings in line. You get edgy when your emotions and your actions are not in harmony with each other. Don’t make any sudden changes; simply being more aware of your internal conflict will help it resolve over time.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Even if you’re in touch with both your positive and negative feelings today, others may see you as mostly personable and easygoing. Your charm is flowing easily now, rather than the contracted fear you might experience when you’re confused. Your natural tendency is to move into the practical realms to gain control, but you are better off just mentally wandering for a while until your mind plays through all the possibilities.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are so busy these days that you’re motivated to seek ways to bring your life into a healthier balance. However, the current danger is that you can gloss over awkward details in your rush to get everything done. There are mixed signals coming your way, yet you still may strive to be sweet, even if your feelings are more intense. Don’t spend too much time attempting to hide the darker feelings. Others will appreciate your honesty more than you think.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
There is a wonderful potential to indulge your senses today, even if fantasy plays a strong part in a pleasurable experience. You may feel like you’re on top of the world, getting a chance to express your passionate side without experiencing the negativity that sometimes follows. The only price you might pay for feeling safe is the regret over a desire not expressed. Don’t miss this opportunity to open your heart and widen your horizons.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your dreams have an excellent chance to manifest now if you incorporate the widest spectrum of life into your overall perspective. Although you are often ready to consider new possibilities when planning your future, you might be pleasantly surprised with the amazing experiences you can have now if you keep your options open. Take a risk and expand your mind to include what you previously excluded. You’ll be richer in spirit for your efforts.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are feeling somewhat constrained today, but working within a solid framework gives you a comforting sense of security. Rules are welcome news from the cosmos, since you like it when your structures are strong enough that you can build upon them. Don’t hold back; you have powerful tools at your disposal now. Fortunately, using your energy for the good of all is also beneficial to you in the long run.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The pace of your life is settling down enough for you to temporarily take charge of your career. You have been riding the tides of change, but now the stress created by the incoming waves is clearing the way for new and better goals. Keep your eyes on the future, even if your nerves are rattling with uncertainty. Ironically, practicing patience helps you reach your desired destination in record time.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It’s easy to grow discouraged today if everything doesn’t go your way. You might even blame your frustration on something that happened yesterday. Fortunately, you could receive an energetic boost out of the blue that sets you off in a new direction. However, resisting change leads to stagnation. Don’t hold on to previous expectations. Your chances for success are enhanced if you gracefully roll with the incoming waves and adapt to the shifting currents.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of September 9th

In fact, by Saturday, when she dances with Neptune, you might feel like you’re living a romantic fairytale!
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
If there’s an important conversation you’ve been meaning to have with your significant other, expect gorgeous cosmic support after Monday. Mercury will enter your 7th House of Partnership, allowing you and your mate to forge agreements and compromise with greater ease.

Especially the taboo ones.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
There’s fabulous news when it comes to your love life this week!

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Expect your week to start out with a thud in matters of the heart. On Monday, Mars (now in Leo) will clash with Saturn, creating an energetic stalemate.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might need to take time alone in order to reflect on your feelings for someone until October 7, or to think about a current romantic entanglement. You might also find that you’re pining away for someone you know you can never truly be with. Unrequited love — past or present — might leave you raw and vulnerable. It’s ok to fantasize about a potential lover, but don’t allow yourself to drown in a sea of unrealistic expectations.

The business side of love will dominate your week.

Facing the limitations and obligations inherent in your relationship with courage will be necessary. Once you do this, however, great strides are possible.

Your love life may become an international affair starting this Wednesday. If single, it’s possible that you’ll fall for someone who is from a different race, religion or culture than you.

If you are attached, it’s possible that between Saturday and October 7 you and your sweetheart will take an exotic vacation together. Make it count!
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 10th
Easy does it. Yesterday’s Mars-Saturn clash of the titans has not disappeared entirely and a new threat to peace and serenity is on the horizon as Mars is approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with secretive Pluto. Plus, what seems like a supportive, 60-degree contact between the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Virgo (2:22AM) is somewhat illusory because this aspect begins a 21+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone until 11:37PM. Strive to mellow out completely while the Moon is in strange territory. Avoid emotional and mental fatigue as Venus squares off with Pallas (4:06PM). Hold off on questionable business decisions with Venus parallel to Saturn (5:17PM). The big chill can influence unstable romantic relationships. Just before the Moon ends its void-of-course cycle by entering fiery Sagittarius (11:37PM), Venus leaves the friendly sign of Libra for potentially adversarial Scorpio (11:17PM) — a cycle that lasts until October 7. The universe is still rocking and rolling four minutes after the lunar entry into Sagittarius as Mars in Leo forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pluto (11:41PM). Projecting angry feelings on unsuspecting loved ones is a no-no. Egocentric, self-serving attitudes bite the dust. Be a Rock of Gibraltar for the truly needy. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 8
Equilibrium is elusive today as sudden blasts of information from beyond our outer limits zap us. Unfortunately, even the fair-minded Libra Moon fails to give us perspective as a parade of complex alignments distracts us from our positive approach. Tense aspects from communicator Mercury require us to process internal conflicts between head and heart. The Moon’s shift into pointed Scorpio at 9:44 pm EDT forces us to make up our minds.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Breaking free from the restraints that hold you back is complicated if you keep running into more obstacles. It could feel like a losing battle, because each problem you solve today quickly turns into two more. The harder you push to tie up the loose ends, the more things seem to tangle up. Fortunately, it’s not nearly as hopeless as it might appear at first. Back off a bit and don’t try so hard; some of the resistance may be of your own creation.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
There is a strong emphasis on your work today, but an unaddressed emotional issue might prevent you from accomplishing your goals. You are bumping up against an awkward energy that isn’t easy to engage because it’s not aimed directly at you. Nevertheless, don’t participate in petty disagreements, because they won’t improve your current situation. Fly under the radar now and do what you must, without attracting too much attention to yourself. Your low-key approach won’t go unappreciated by those who matter.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Your life may be noisy today as tensions become obvious and there seems to be no way around an unpleasant situation. But, of course there is a viable path, especially because circumstances continue to change throughout the day. You still might be sorting out your feelings by the evening, but the problem itself could very well be in the past. Your discomfort will pass if you let your emotions run their course without interference from your analytical mind.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may be on a slow-motion collision course today with a lover, partner or friend. Although you might attempt to avoid a confrontation, it’s healthier to face the music and just get it over with. There could be very real disagreements over fundamental issues, and the more you talk about them, the more complicated they become. Nevertheless, stick with it. It’s always darkest right before the dawn; a breakthrough can happen when you least expect it.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You want to share your crazy plans now that trickster Mercury is playing a major role in the picture. However, the mental agitation is annoying, preventing you from enjoying an exchange that might normally be quite pleasant. Although you’re yearning to break free from your routine, the pressure of responsibility will likely restrain you for a while. You must follow through on your previous commitments. Don’t worry; you will get your chance for change soon enough.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A fantastic idea may become problematic as you bog down in the execution, especially if it involves home or family issues. If you don’t think through the consequences of an off-the-cuff remark, you might need to deal with the aftermath sooner than you think. Although this is not ultimately a difficult day, you still probably have to work harder than usual just to keep things moving in a healthy direction. Remember, your positive attitude makes all the difference in the world.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re in your power now and you might even be surprised by the current intensity, but you are equipped to handle nearly any brewing storm. The next few days may seem like the kind of exam that you can’t study for; nevertheless, paying attention to the signs can tilt the scales in your favor. Don’t try to hold on to the status quo. Let the uncertainties lead you through the transformation ahead without dwelling on any irrational fears. Follow your intuition with confidence and everything will be alright.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Sometimes you sound like you know everything because you often do understand more than others. However, it’s most helpful to admit what you don’t know before you find yourself in over your head. There may be many loose ends to tie up, so it could be useful to have assistance. Don’t pretend that you have it all together now unless you actually do. You have less to prove than you might think and more to gain if you’re willing to ask for help.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It seems as if you already did all the steps possible to further your career; unfortunately, something still isn’t quite right. Perhaps you overlooked a tiny detail that grows bigger as the day progresses. Maybe someone throws a wrench into the gears of time and you’re not prepared for what happens next. You’re able to take it all in stride if you have done your homework. But, if you haven’t prepared wisely, your plan can fall apart and you will need to make it right before moving on.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might be judged for what you say or what you write, even if your ideas are sound. Your concepts could even be brilliant now, but as you act on your thoughts, something may not work as imagined. Revise your thinking based upon your experience. If you assume you know it all, you don’t. However, you have what it takes if you are open to change — and others can’t help but notice your positive attitude.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Someone at work may give you a hard time today, but having an external reason to practice self-discipline is exactly what you need at this time. However, the resistance you face could be troublesome if you are the methodical type; a disturbed routine might make you less efficient for a while. But once you adapt to your new pace, you will feel re-energized and more enthusiastic about your future.
