As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, today starts with a cautionary signal coming from the Moon being parallel the red planet Mars (12:48AM PST). Being too aggressive or using inflammatory language is a no-no. A few hours later, opportunity knocks across the board as Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with visionary Neptune (4:26AM PST) while Venus parallels Jupiter (6:39AM PST). Venus in harmony with Neptune and Jupiter close together in time is something you should celebrate in arts and crafts, hobbies, literary and educational pursuits. One way or another, do not let this time-period pass you by without scoring points somewhere in your life, professional work and primary partnerships. Be more productive in your main fields of expertise – thanks to a subtle and yet still nurturing, 30-degree link from the Sun to Ceres (10:42AM PST). Beef up safety and security measures around your home or office as Mercury unites with Vesta in Aries (3:45PM PST). This conjunction doubles as a potential enhancement for increasing the value of your investments. Complete odds and ends during a void lunar cycle in Leo from 5:28PM PST to 7:28PM PST. Once the Moon enters meticulous and industrious Virgo (7:28PM PST), being the supreme organizer and efficiency master is your goal for the next 2+ days. Helping you maximize success in business matters and creative artistic endeavors is a flowing trine in earth signs from the Moon to Venus (10:53PM PST). Keep in mind that the two days before a Full Moon represent a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening energies embracing Earth and humanity when the solar and lunar orbs form their monthly polarity. The next Full Moon will happen early on Thursday March 8.

Guide To The Universe – Neptune in Pisces
Neptune in Pisces
Boundlessness
By Molly Hall
Neptune is in the sign it rules, Pisces, from April 4 to August 4th, 2011 AND Feb 3, 2012 to Jan 27, 2026. The archetype of Neptune, as one
of unveiling, merging, mesmerizing, heightens the sense of life as a dream. It initiates
a fluid time, of understanding our role to play as souls, and slipping out of limiting masks and beliefs, in favor of more inclusive ones.
Themes: end of time (as we know it), multi-dimensionality, spiritual devotion, first-hand connection to God/Goddess, miracles of healing,
forgiveness, telepathy, remote viewing, actively dreaming the future, parallel realities, changing the present, by changing the past, higher states of consciousness, third-eye, soul contracts, unity consciousness.
Fascinations: healing wounds of time, unveilings (apocalypse), perceiving dimensions, life as dream or nightmare, love across time, the Feminine, reconciliation, profound healing, artistic renaissance, immense power of the imagination, the tyranny of belief, subtle energies, stargates, time travel, galactic family, color and sound, mythos, mysticism.
Fanaticisms:Cults, subliminal messages, political stagecraft, masked or stolen identities, grand deception, faked news, masters of illusion, savior or destroyer, victims and victimizers.
Neptune is one of the transpersonal planets, that is a big player in the longer human story. We find it in our lives, where we meet the mystery and a sense of oneness. It’s messages are delivered on the big screen (cinema), art, music, symbols we see everyday, in mass hysteria or ecstasy, or shared experiences that border on the supernatural.
Neptune is in its own sign Pisces relatively briefly in 2011 (April 4 to August 4), giving us a taste of what’s to come with this long transit. Neptune will go back into Pisces from February 3, 2012 to January 27th, 2026. We’ll all be swimming in the Neptunian depths for a long time.
Urge to Merge
Neptune is completing a cycle in Pisces, with all that’s been swirling across time rising and returning to the ocean of consciousness. We become more aware of the timeless soul, and the multi-dimensional nature of reality.
Neptune dissolves, so much can be healed, like past historic traumas and victimizations. From the most forsaken lows to euphoric highs, Neptune’s higher wisdom helps us move through and evolve.
Pisces is a sign of compassion, empathy, and excluding no person or living thing outside the web of life. This can be a time of great changes of heart, where enemies become friends, and we come to the aid of the suffering.
We search for higher love, that’s right for the soul’s purpose. It can be a time of updating soul contracts of all kinds.
Sans Frontiers
The boundaries between us are more permeable, with Neptune in Pisces. This makes it easier to empathize, though at times we may feel we’re aching for the whole world. The experience of oneness in crisis, or bliss, is a wave that can transform what’s been built up over centuries.
It’s a time to be aware of interdimensional influences, and possibly begin seeing what was not visible before. And experiencing the shimmering energy in matter, and the soul in nature.
The physicist David Bohm said, “all matter is frozen light.” And during this transit, there can be unexplained events, apparitions, disappearances, where what was seemingly solid dissolves. At the same time, this transit brings in curious events of bleed-through from other times, seeing structures from other eras, discovering underwater civilizations.
Big Love
Neptune’s evolutionary current is a stretching to accept everything as part of life, both light and shadow. Just when we think we’ve hit a wall with what we can forgive, a higher force shows us how to embrace more, and love more unconditionally. We will see acts of selflessness in service to love that bring tears to the eyes.
There was a global hush after September 11th, with the spirit of empathy and awareness of humanity’s oneness palpably felt for days. Look for more times like that on a small and grand scale, where the silence is full, and the sense of union enough to evoke a sense of real awe and wonder.
The Wicca Book of Days for February 24th – Going with the Flow
The Wicca Book of Days for February 24th
Going with the Flow
There is so much methane in Neptune’s atmosphere that the planet appears to be blue, which is one of the reasons why it was named fo
r the Roman god of the oceans, seas and rivers. Because water was said to obey this God’s command, it may be worth invoking Neptune in your rituals if your life is frequently made uncomfortable by water retention (especially if it has nothing to do with your menstrual cycle). There are certain step that you can take to alleviate temporary bloating, too, like steering clear of salty foods, but remember that you must never limit your fluid intake – indeed, drinking more water helps to flush salt out of your system.
Grasp the Nettle
The stinging nettle is packed with nourishing and healing nutrients, including sodium reducing potassium and iron. Infuse some of the dried leaves, or else in a herbal teabag, in boiling water for up to 10 minutes before drinking.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 21
The magical mystery tour continues today as our dreams overflow into the real world. An elusive Venus-Neptune alignment spurs romantic fantasies while the Moon shifts into hypersensitive Pisces at 12:31 pm EST and joins surreal Neptune to further dissolve reality; but a hard-edged Mercury-Saturn aspect prevents us from floating away with our thoughts. The Pisces New Moon at 5:34 pm marks a turning point as we start to put the past behind us.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may feel as if you’re in an imaginative bubble and time is standing still today as the Pisces New Moon falls in your 12th House of Escapism. You know that big changes are on the way, but temporarily everything seems to be moving in slow motion. Don’t ignore what’s happening now because you have to finish a current project while you still have time. Once you tie up loose ends, you’ll be able to move into the next phase of your life.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Today’s Pisces New Moon triggers your need to be with like-minded people as it brings to life your 11th House of Friends. However, you can be so overwhelmed by your imagination now that your cohorts may think you’ve lost touch with reality. Thankfully, they’ll begin to take you more seriously if you don’t ramble on endlessly about your visions. Share your hopes, but stop talking once you’ve said what’s on your mind.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Getting a handle on what’s happening at work today can be challenging, but don’t just throw your hands up in frustration and walk away. Although you might not be able to make sense out of the instructions you’re given now, simply follow your intuition and take the most sensible course of action. Whatever you do, the rules are likely to be changed. Shift gears as necessary or take a whole new approach if your current methods no longer do the trick.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may be obsessed with dreams of an exotic vacation, yet it would be a shame to waste the current opportunity without at least making a plan. At this point it really doesn’t matter if you cannot afford taking time off from work or if the costs are beyond your budget. What does matter is that you actually attempt to make your fantasy come true. Your preliminary explorations won’t require additional resources now, and you can always focus on the details later if you decide to embark on your escapade.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You are often so self-sufficient that it may be difficult now to get the help you need. Your co-workers might be hesitant to offer assistance, even if you would appreciate a little support. Although you could be in over your head, you don’t want to appear as if you’re desperate. Thankfully, it isn’t too late; ask for what you need, even if it means revealing your vulnerability. You don’t have to be perfect; others will rally to your defense if you’re willing to meet them halfway.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Everyone seems a bit unreliable today as the Pisces New Moon confuses your 7th House of Partners. You may expect one thing to occur, but something else comes out of left field. You could quickly become anxious if you are overly rigid in your approach to the day. However, being less self-critical now also enables you to loosen your judgment of others. Being flexible is a smart strategy to get you through these uncertain times.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The imaginative Pisces New Moon lands in your 6th House of Habits, prompting you to start a new regimen to improve your well-being. A healthier diet and more effective exercise program usually sounds like a good idea, but you often lack the serious commitment required to make it work. Thankfully, your intentions go a long way today, and starting a new routine can have a lasting positive impact. An enduring little change makes more sense now than a big one that doesn’t last.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The magical Pisces New Moon smiles on your 5th House of Love and Creativity today. A romantic fantasy might be exactly what you need, even if you don’t actually do anything about it. Yet a wonderful experience that takes place only within your imagination can still have real implications if you choose to act on your feelings now or later on. Whether you tell anyone or not, give yourself permission to feel the current attraction without worrying about where it may lead you.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You would be wise to keep your feelings to yourself today as the confusing Pisces New Moon lands in your 4th House of Roots. Your emotions are best left at home now; sharing your private life at work might not be the smartest move. However, don’t slip into denial about what’s happening. Instead of shutting yourself off from your heart, it’s healthier to write in a journal or talk about your personal issues with a trusted friend.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A close friend or family member might do something that confuses you today, but don’t let this become the main focus of your day. You have important things to do and shouldn’t waste time trying to figure out someone else’s motives. If you’re really curious, be direct and ask them what’s going on. However, if satisfactory answers aren’t readily forthcoming, let it go for now; you can return to the conundrum another time.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Today’s Pisces New Moon activates your 2nd House of Money, inspiring visionary ideas about increasing your income. But your thoughts won’t necessarily lead to financial rewards because you might be misled by your own idealism now. Be smart and consider everything that comes to mind, but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Today’s New Moon falls in your creative sign, offering you a new lease on life. There’s no limit to what you can dream up in your mind now, but there’s also nothing to be gained by rushing into anything just yet. You are at the edge of an imaginative journey, but your thoughts will eventually solidify into reality. Move cautiously and consider all your options prior to focusing on any one path.

New Moon in Pisces
Tuesday, February 21, 2:35 pm PST, 5:35 pm EST
Every New Moon in Pisces is an invitation to dive into an ocean of emotion. This boundless sea of feelings can inspire our dreams or flood us with confusion. Idealistic Neptune’s conjunction to this spiritual lunation brings us even closer to a cosmic sense of unity that stirs religious fervor and enhances imagination. Boundaries melt away to deepen our connections with one another and with nature, spurring compassion, hope, faith and charity.
The Pisces New Moon is like a warm bath that drains our worries away. It soothes the pains of isolation and disappointment by floating us above the complexities of daily life. Taking breaks from routine activities to nourish the soul with sweet music, tender touches and spiritual reflection restores hope and rewards us with a greater awareness of our divinity.
Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, February 21
Easy does it! Days like this don’t happen that often – when a New Moon (activating 3 degrees of Pisces at 2:36PM PST) occurs with a wide variety of significant alignments. In addition, until that 2:36PM PST moment, the dark-of-the-moon monthly cycle is in effect – reminding you to finish enterprises begun during the last four weeks. To get a sense of today’s complexity, examine the following list of aspects as the Moon forms a contra-parallel to Mars (12:22AM PST), the Moon parallels Mercury (8:13AM PST), a void-of-course lunar cycle in Aquarius happens from 8:18AM PST to 9:32AM PST, Venus makes a 45-degree link to Neptune (9:21AM PST), the Moon enters Pisces (9:32AM PST), the Moon unites with Neptune (10:49AM PST), Mercury forms a 135-degree tie to Saturn (12:38PM PST), the Moon unites with Pallas (3:37PM PST), the Sun makes a 30-degree contact with Uranus (3:59PM PST), the Moon unites with Chiron (6:55PM PST), Mercury forms a contra-parallel with Venus (6:56PM PST) and the Moon makes a 60-degree link with Jupiter (8:10PM PST). When a dozen solar, lunar and interplanetary aspects vie for supremacy and you are shifting from an Old Moon to a New Moon vibration, count your blessings. It is not a sign of weakness to take several time-outs in order to catch your breath and revamp your game plan for overall success and achievements during the next several weeks. Studying metaphysics and advanced subjects in any field of knowledge is encouraged as the Moon unites with the trio of Neptune, Pallas and Chiron during only an 8-hour time-span.

Day of the Fish: Beginning of Pisces
Colors: Deep ocean blues and blue-greens
Element: Water
Altar: Set with cloths of sea colors, shells, pearls, the figures of fishes, a chalice of water, rolls of bandages, a pot of salve, and a scrying ball.

Invocation to Pisces
Glimmer in the deepest waters,
Dweller in water salt as tears,
Sacrificed and sacrificing,
Neptune’s elusive child
Bathed in obscuring mystery,
Whose gift is Faith,
Bless us with the ability
To step beyond ourselves
And learn compassion
For all beings.
By the power of all believing,
You challenge us
To remember always
That we are part of a destiny
Much greater than ourselves,
One in the Many
And Many in the One.
May we go forth
Always in hope.
Chant:
Born of water, cleansing, powerful, flowing, healing, we are….
(Let one who is chosen to do the work of the ritual walk about with the chalice of water and bless each person on the head with the waters of Pisces. Then let them walk about with the pot of salve and ask, “Dost thy heart need healing?” If the answer is no, let them bow to each other, and the bearer say, “Then have thou compassion for those who do.” If the answer is yes, s/he will rub a bit of the salve on the person’s heart chakra, and say, “By the grace of the Gods, may thou be healed.” Then the water is poured out as a libation.)
The Wicca Books of Days for February 19th – Pisces, the Fishes
The Wicca Book of Days for February 19th
Pisces, the Fishes
The zodiacal month of Pisces begins around now. Although sign of the Fishes was once governed by Jupiter, the discovery of the planet Neptune,
named for the Roman god of the sea, prompted its reassignment to this eminently appropriate new planetary ruler. The piscine pair’s element of water is equally apt, while its polarity is feminine, or negative, and its quadruplicity is mutable. All of these astrological influences is said to make Piscean people idealistic, dreamy, sensitive, compassionate, introverted, receptive, versatile, and restless.
“Piscine Power”
Start boosting your intake of beneficial fish oils during the zodiacal month of the Fishes. The omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids found in oily fish (and fish-oil supplements) are believed to protect against heart disease and cancer, and to alleviate certain inflammatory skin conditions – and that’s just for starters!
Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 18th
Capture Technicolor dreams and amazing visions in a special notebook by your bed – particularly with the Sun making a parallel to Neptune (12:33AM PST). Keep in mind that parallel and contra-parallel formations – found by watching celestial bodies moving north and south of the Celestial Equator – can be just as prominent as zodiacal unions and polarities. The Sun embracing Neptune in this manner can accentuate the exploration of your religious beliefs and philosophy of life. Several hours after this alignment is exact, the Sun in the last degree of Aquarius makes a flowing trine with Saturn in the last degree of Libra (8:03AM PST). Hard work and perseverance are now the dynamic duo that can lead you to the promised land of worldly success. Another boost on this front can arrive when Mercury forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pluto (1:24PM PST). With some extra elbow grease and focused attention, your business enterprises can be flourishing. Be aware that the Sun changes from airy Aquarius to watery Pisces (10:19PM PST) for the next 30-day solar zodiacal experience – opening the doors of perception to a higher order of existence.
Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Feb. 13th
For the start of a workweek, you cannot use the business-as-usual tag line in any realistic shape or form. As indicated in yesterday’s calendar entry, Mercury is on the move – forming a strong parallel with the Sun (8:11AM PST), a flowing trine to Saturn in air signs (10:45AM PST), entering Pisces (5:39PM PST) as well as uniting with far-out Neptune (10:48PM PST). By early tomorrow, Mercury will unite with Pallas – bringing three celestial bodies into the Zero Point of psychic, mysterious, and go-with-the-flow Pisces. Add on this morning’s Sun-Vesta subtle 30-degree rapport (9:50AM PST) and the presence of intense Scorpio Moon, and knowing which way economic markets are going to shift is a coin toss. Whereas Mercury aligning with both the Sun and Saturn early today suggests a need for pragmatism and logic, the annual Mercury-Neptune conjunction in Pisces as Valentine’s Day approaches is quite a different story. Whenever Mercury merges its essence with Neptune, several of the graphic and fine arts loom prominently on the horizon. Plunge into photography, film and video production, painting, music and dance for inspiration. Say no to addictive behavior in any form. Meditation and soul-searching are definitely back in vogue. Don’t be surprised if you feel the urge to problem-solve and strategize overnight as Mercury contacts Pallas at 3:32AM PST on Tuesday.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, Feb. 11
Don’t let this become the lost weekend. Hope and fear are battling for supremacy since jovial Jupiter is making three alignments today while the Moon in Libra makes its first union with the recently stationed ring-master Saturn tomorrow. Like it or not, these two planets – the largest in our solar system – have much to do with how we hopefully (Jupiter) fit into society and worldly happenings or fearfully (Saturn) try to reach various career milestones without developing all sorts of chronic difficulties in the process. Of course, Jupiter can bring excess and overdoing of a good thing while Saturn can teach the essential long-term rewards of patience, hard work, self-reliance and responsibility. On today’s agenda, the Sun and Jupiter provide sustenance and robust enthusiasm as they form an inspirational, 72-degree link (12:03AM PST). However, Jupiter – being no slouch as King of the Gods – keeps up his interactive efforts by making a contra-parallel to Neptune (3:17AM PST) and a subtle and yet still nurturing and creative, 30-degree tie to Venus (8:35AM PST). Despite some potential confusion and uncertainty coming from Jupiter’s contact with Neptune, Jupiter is offering you a sizable dose of optimism right now. Relationships receive an empowerment boost from Mars contacting Juno via an inspirational, 72-degree liaison (12:53PM PST). If you feel the urge to shop for values or change your hair style or wardrobe, you are probably picking up on both the Moon’s presence in Libra as well as the Mars-Juno association. A big event later on is Pallas entering Pisces (9:07PM PST). Learn more about the secret teachings of all ages and the philosophical tenets of ancient civilizations. One way you can improve your problem-solving skills is to keep a dream notebook and understand more about how precognitive visions will assist you in fulfilling your higher destiny.
Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Feb. 8th
After a day like yesterday, it is important to avoid a severe let-down. This is also a good point in the cosmic calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments from one day don’t necessarily disappear the next day. Therefore, many of Tuesday’s cosmic interactions are still reverberating in the ethers and affecting everyone. However, whatever happens right now is more in the ascendancy of importance. The Moon parallel Mars (8:35AM PST) suggests avoiding displays of arrogance, rash behavior and egocentricity. During the fairly short void lunar uncertainty zone in Leo – from 8:43AM PST to 9:33AM PST – complete old business with a flourish, but leave new and bold enterprises until the Moon is comfortably settled into meticulous, versatile Virgo (9:33AM PST). The Moon in this sixth sign of the zodiac should accentuate clean-up campaigns, scholarly research and nutritional changes to strengthen your immune system, but the Moon opposing Neptune (9:52AM PST) followed closely by a potentially emotionally-disruptive Venus-Uranus contra-parallel (10:20AM PST) have the capacity to send you down a blind alley. Know where you are going and what you are doing. The Moon making a flowing trine to Jupiter (3:46PM PST) would seem to carry the necessary oomph and charge to give you a renewed optimistic mind-set, but lurking in the shadows is an off-kilter, 150-degree entanglement from Mercury to Mars (11:10PM PST). Why be belligerent to dear ones under pressure when you can be a fighter for human rights around the globe? Think before you act.

Neptune in Pisces
Friday, February 3, 10:52 am PST, 1:52 pm EST
Spiritual Neptune settles into its sensitive home sign for a 13-year stay that inspires faith and stimulates our fantasies. The planet of compassion in sympathetic Pisces softens the barriers between us, spurring compassion and arousing our charitable instincts. Dreams without borders dissolve differences among individuals and can even unite religions in a growing desire to reconnect with the soul of humanity.
Cosmic Calendar for Friday, Feb. 3rd
In-depth studies and investigations are promoted via a Mercury-Pluto parallel (9:11AM PST). Parallels and contra-parallels are alignments taking place as celestial bodies move north or south of the Celestial Equator. Their potency can be equal to the usual aspects that are calculated via the zodiacal circle. Mercury and Pluto are hooking up as a dynamic duo this morning because they are both 19+ degrees south of the Celestial Equator. Meanwhile, as mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, the hard-to-grasp, elusive and far-out planet Neptune enters Pisces (11:04AM PST) for its official 14-year journey in this last, hard-to-understand zodiacal sign. If Neptune in Pisces sounds vaguely familiar, it is because from April 4 to August 4 last year, this planet and sign offered you an introductory lesson on what the next 14 years might contain. Were you listening to and tuning into that solar systemic, galactic and universal dissertation in 2011? If not, you now have a golden opportunity to dust off your old Beatles records (relating to the trip to India and the aftermath) and get back into the Be Here Now vibes of Richard Alpert (aka Baba Ram Dass) in order to comprehend the reality behind all of our many materialistic illusions. Strengthen your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity. Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Experiment with a digital or video camera. Sing, dance and make merry as major planetary shifts don’t happen that often. Finish old business later on when the Moon in Gemini is in a void uncertainty cycle from 9:07PM PST to 10:05PM PST. Once the Moon enters its home base of watery Cancer (10:05PM PST), family and nostalgic themes run rampant, and the lunar orb makes an instant, harmonious trine to Neptune in Pisces (10:07PM PST). Keep a notebook by your bed overnight to record nocturnal soul-wanderings.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 2nd
If you are a frequent reader of this calendar, then you know that every so often the cosmos settles down and refrains from blasting earthlings with solar, lunar and planetary discord. Today is one of those one-sided affairs where the potential for good outweighs the potential for its opposite. This is because the only two major celestial alignments are flowing trines of 120-degrees – the first one from the Moon in Gemini to Mercury in Aquarius (6:42AM PST) and the second one happening some 7+ hours later when the Moon forms the same rapport with the Sun in Aquarius (2:02PM PST). Be receptive to visions and insights coming from the great beyond. Think about your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth rather than your personal needs and desires. Literary and educational endeavors as well as cultural and global perspectives win the day over petty peeves and superficial interests. Catch up with email and overseas correspondence. Meanwhile, gear up for a big sea change happening for the planet ruling the oceans as Neptune prepares to enter Pisces for nearly 14 years tomorrow. This orb of dreams, spirituality, religious beliefs and the creative imagination is saying goodbye to Aquarius after a brilliant 14-year run in this third, universal air sign. Now it’s on to the last sign of the zodiac for a trip into unknown waters only Einstein, a double-fish Piscean himself, might perceive with his mystical and kaleidoscopic mind-set.

Mercury in Aquarius
Friday, January 27, 10:12 am PST, 1:12 pm EST
Intelligence matters with clever Mercury in cerebral Aquarius. We can break out of our usual patterns of perception to understand the world from different angles. Cooler heads allow us to step out of the shadows of emotion and discover new concepts. However, friendly conversations may stimulate minds but could be less successful at touching hearts.
Cosmic Calendar for January 25th
Strange forces are very much on the prowl in the early going today as the Moon makes its monthly union with Neptune in Aquarius (12:34AM PST) – simultaneously launching a short void lunar cycle that lasts until 1:12AM PST when the Moon enters Piscean waters. Watch your dreams for clues about the future and don’t be surprised if maternal archetypes are present in your soul-wanderings since the Moon is also parallel to Ceres (1:10AM PST). Healing forces are making a comeback since the Moon forms its monthly conjunction with Chiron in Pisces (7:14AM PST) while the lunar orb is also parallel to Chiron (8:57AM PST). This double emphasis on Chiron reminds you to meditate for clarity and peace of mind. Learn more about advances in the field of alternative medicine. Be more of a bridge-builder between your multi-faceted personality and spirit realms. Pisces Moon gives you an opportunity to lend a helping hand to the truly disenfranchised and abandoned. Tough it out this evening when Venus forms a frictional, 135-degree tie to Saturn (7:04PM PST). This aspect can bring the big chill into affairs of the heart on a temporary basis. Dance away the blues as the Moon in the last sign of the zodiac can give you a dose of happy feet.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Jan. 17th
There’s a definite uptick on the relationship front and it comes from a Sun-Juno 60-degree alliance (12:00PM PST) linking Capricorn and Scorpio. The Sun and Juno don’t always make this kind of favorable aspect and your job is to be extra sensitive to dear ones. Be a good listener and don’t just dump your burdens of the shoulders of a significant other. Some confusion may pop up on the artistic horizon and in dealing with investment matters due to Mercury forming a caustic, 45-degree tie to Neptune (1:57PM PST) while the Sun makes the same kind of challenging alignment with Vesta (4:39PM PST). Assisting you in making sure your business affairs are on solid ground is a subtle and yet still uplifting, 30-degree rapport from Jupiter to Uranus (4:14PM PST). This mentally expansive alignment also works on your behalf if you are engaged in advanced studies in all fields of knowledge and wisdom. The love boat travels to exotic ports of call this evening as the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree link with passionate Mars (11:25PM PST) while the Moon also makes its approach to a monthly union with Juno in Scorpio (happening exactly at 6:56AM PST tomorrow).
Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, Jan. 15th
Learning from esteemed mentors and teachers is one way to get moving this morning as the Moon is parallel Saturn (1:24AM PST) followed some 7+ hours later by an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mercury to Saturn (9:15AM PST). Focusing attention on key business or professional matters also makes sense. Money-making ventures could appear on the scene later on as Venus parallels Neptune (1:50PM PST), Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree link with Vesta (2:26PM PST), and the Moon parallels Venus (6:00PM PST). The emphasis on Venus, Vesta and Neptune suggests that your highest ideals and dreams can come true with enough self-assurance. Working with the right artistic media is necessary since the Moon continues its march through creative and affable Libra. Some confusion on the partnership front may develop as the Moon parallels Neptune (6:24PM PST) followed by Mercury making a frictional, 45-degree tie to Juno (6:52PM PST). Be prepared for an intense day on Spaceship Earth tomorrow as several planetary pranksters try to mutiny and disrupt the proceedings.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Jan. 13th
Love is in the air today, yet luckily we’re able to balance our romantic fantasies with the practicalities of everyday life. We can be sensible even while dreaming, as beautiful Venus trines responsible Saturn and joins imaginative Neptune. Although a stubborn Mercury-Pluto conjunction tempts us to amass power, we don’t need to lose touch with the magic. Meanwhile, the meticulous Virgo Moon helps us approach each situation in a rational manner.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You might think that you’re being extremely realistic, yet you could fall in love with your own reflection today without realizing what happened. Thankfully, your closest friends won’t confuse your dreams with the actual events of the day. Ultimately, the truth may not be as perfect as your imagination, but acknowledging reality for what it is should eliminate most of your potential problems before they can even manifest.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may believe that you have done everything possible to assist others now as your ruling planet Venus conjuncts delusional Neptune in your 10th House of Publicity. However, you might have your own self-interests at heart, rather than being motivated by altruism. But don’t waste energy questioning your motives. The reason you are doing something today isn’t as important as whether or not you are kind in your interactions with others.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
A relationship with a close friend or business partner is complicated now because you are probably seeing things through rose-colored glasses. Although your subjective view of reality is tinted by your unfulfilled desires, you can steer clear of trouble by tempering your unrealistic expectations with critical thinking. You needn’t be afraid of dreaming as long as you stay aware of the difference between fact and fantasy.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your standards for sharing your true feelings are set at a very high level now because you don’t want to fool yourself into believing that everything is fine. However, it’s challenging today to create a healthy balance between expressing the truth and bending it. Even if you’re tempted to sidestep an unpleasant situation, you’ll be happier in the long run if you take enough time to address unresolved issues before they grow out of control.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may run into an emotional wall today, and even though you cannot just keep pushing ahead, it’s not sensible to retreat, either. Thankfully, you can imagine an ideal picture of the way you want things to be and your unwavering focus enables you to create a concrete plan to reach satisfaction. Sharing your ideas with co-workers can provide positive feedback, but ultimately the responsibility to make your dreams come true is yours alone. Don’t wait for help; you can perform magic on your own.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You know what you want to do today and may become quite angry with anyone who stands in your way. But even without resistance, you might grow confused as you move closer toward your goals because you can’t understand why everything is taking so long to finish. However, impatience is counterproductive because you have more time than you realize, anyway. It’s more important now to keep your faith than it is to reach your destination.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your ruling planet Venus is touched by angelic Neptune today, dangling idealistic fantasies just beyond your reach. Thankfully, you are quite comfortable knowing there’s more work to do before you can earn your just rewards. On another day you might grow frustrated, but now you see the plan in motion and you’re happy to let it continue to unfold naturally. Find a working pace that you can sustain and stick with it.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It’s easy for you to look ahead today, unencumbered by your recent past. Intelligent Mercury joins potent Pluto, your key planet, bringing a powerful mental boost that enables you to maintain your focus on the present while also dreaming about your future. Use your creative imagination to set the right tone for the next phase of your life. Just don’t reach ahead too far too fast, or your current stability will begin to feel more like a prison than the gift that it actually is.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are able to bend reality today so you can imagine all the possibilities that are ahead. You have a clear shot at whatever you want now, assuming you can conjure up a clear image of your desires. Just remember that daydreaming isn’t the only ingredient to your success now; perseverance is required, too. Don’t give up on your highest hopes, or you’ll never know what might have been possible.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Others secretly admire your ability to be patient when working toward accomplishing your goals. Thankfully, the cosmos is on your side today as your key planet Saturn forms a harmonious trine with sensual Venus, enabling you to work hard for sweet rewards while delaying gratification if necessary. Keep your eye on the prize; it will be yours once you’ve earned it.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your ability to approach something you want with emotional detachment might seem odd to others, but this logical strategy enables you to maintain your sense of freedom. Today, however, you might swallow the bait if the object of your desire is attractive enough. Instead of wasting time and energy struggling to work your way free, avoid headaches by steering clear of the hook right from the start.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Delicious Venus hooks up with your key planet Neptune today, transforming simple facts into multicolored streams of cascading fantasies. The magic may happen so fast that you’re instantly mesmerized by your lovely daydreams. There’s no need to deny yourself the sweet pleasures; you can always make your way back to reality tomorrow.
