Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 7th

We can hold the lid on reality today with help from the stubborn Taurus Moon, even as sensuous Venus’ semisquare to dreamy Neptune stimulates our imaginations. Nevertheless, we can maintain our focus on whatever’s happening if we follow the wisdom of the Taurus Moon and keep things as simple as possible. Meanwhile, an otherworldly septile between steady Saturn and wild Uranus can catch us off guard with a surprise if our concentration wanders.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes you cannot be patient, but fortunately you have the good sense to wait today. You know there are good times to be had, but you’re not prepared to face the stiff consequences of unfinished responsibilities. An intelligent strategy involves setting a pace that won’t wear you out. Working steadily enables you to accomplish your goals, so you can then go out and have a wonderful time without any lingering guilt.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have an unflappable determination, making it possible to accomplish nearly anything that you set your mind to now. Nevertheless, stating your intention is pointless unless you’re willing to follow through by executing your plan. Your certainty may be unshakeable, but you still might need some help getting motivated today. Don’t try to handle everything on your own; ask your associates to work with you until you gain sufficient momentum.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be picking up strange messages from the cosmos today and this could mess with your sense of reality. At first everything seems copasetic, but then something happens to remind you of how much you don’t understand. But rather than wondering about unsolvable mysteries, it’s smarter to concentrate your attention on the tasks immediately in front of you. The simple act of finishing a job now will bring more satisfaction than anything else.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Being around other people stimulates your fantasies today, but an active imagination doesn’t mean that you want to share your thoughts. Your daydreams may be quite vivid, but you could feel unsure of yourself as you also remember a prior experience when your plan didn’t quite make the grade. You might be a little wobbly as you overcome lost confidence. However, there’s no need to act any tougher than you are; leaning on your friends reveals them to be the steady pillars that you need.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Don’t waste any energy doubting yourself today because your intuition is right on track. Unfortunately, your uncertainty could lead you into an argument as you attempt to justify your point of view without the necessary facts at hand. But it doesn’t matter whether anyone understands why you have chosen your current path. Just give your presentation your very best and your friends will eventually see the wisdom in what you do.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s no reason to set your goals very high today, because it’s more important that you reach your destination than it is to tire yourself out attempting to go too far. Your wisdom comes from your practicality, which could mean working less and enjoying yourself more. Don’t worry if your current productivity is less than what you promised; there is more going on now than meets the eye and you’ll make up for lost time in the next few days.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are motivated today by your strong desire for pleasure, especially within the safe boundaries of an intimate relationship. Although someone might believe that you’re being lazy now, you’re eager to work extra hard if you can see a reward for your efforts. Unfortunately, your attitude may be so out of character that others perceive you as being selfish. Remember, taking care of your own needs is sometimes the best way to replenish your vitality, leaving you with even more to give to those you love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A partner or close friend might tell you exactly what he or she thinks you need to know today. You might feel as if everyone’s attention on you is turning a simple problem into a more complex one. Few will doubt your ability to overcome an obstacle, but it’s still difficult to keep everything in perspective now. Don’t become self-righteous or your pompous indignation will only make matters worse. Keep your mind open, even if you don’t like what you hear.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Well-Being has you thinking about making improvements to your health regimen, diet or exercise program. However, little incremental steps are more efficient now than setting larger changes into motion. Don’t set yourself up for failure by taking on too much at once. For now, thinking small is better than falsely believing that you’re capable of fixing everything at once.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Jolly Jupiter and the Moon meandering through your 5th House of Fun and Games might distract you from firming up your plans today. Your smartest strategy may not be apparent because this is likely to be a counter-intuitive day. If you feel too good, you could grow lazy while justifying your lack of initiative. But this approach isn’t helpful in the long run, even if you can get by without a lot of effort. The real work at hand is to map out your future while your creativity is running high.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be reflecting on your life now and remembering a plan that went wrong or all the times you failed to meet someone’s expectations. Thankfully, the memories can also make you smile because you can’t help but think about the good times, too. This nostalgic journey could be quite therapeutic and allows you to return to the present moment with an improved attitude and a lighter heart.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 3rd House of Immediate Surroundings indicates that your siblings or closest friends might play a very active role in your life today. Allies could easily step in and give you the support you need to feel safe and secure. But don’t take your desire to establish connections too far. If you try too hard, you could inadvertently create a gulf between you and someone special.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 30th

Daily Cosmic Calendar

by Mark Lerner for Astrology.com

Be more creative with literary pursuits in the early hours – thanks to a Moon-Mercury 60-degree alliance (5:37AM PST). Mercury continues in its reversal in Sagittarius, but is still active today as it makes a frictional, 135-degree link to giant Jupiter (11:35AM PST) and an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with far-out Neptune (3:17PM PST). Of these two mercurial connections, the one to Jupiter is clearly the most challenging since it can equate with temporary snafus on the communication and transportation fronts. However, Mercury in league with psychic-imaginative Neptune can provide you with a slew of revelations. Meanwhile, the investment picture is turned on and glowing since the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Aquarius (4:24PM PST). From the positive perspective, this signals an opportunity to learn much more about how stock, bond, commodity and precious-metal markets work. In addition, with the Moon in conjunction with Vesta, it makes sense to focus attention on improving safety and security measures around your home and business. Communicate with key female figures or soul-sisters in your circle of relatives, associates and friends. Gear up for a rousing and intense start of December 2011 since the Moon unites with dream-weaver Neptune tomorrow morning followed shortly thereafter by the annual Venus union with Pluto. You need to be very alert, clear-minded and down-to-earth as November morphs into December.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, November 29th

Daily Cosmic Calendar

 
 
During the last two days of November, the universe appears to be backing you up to an extraordinary degree. The tempestuous days of last week may seem like an old memory and the upcoming challenges that will strike during the first four days of December are still waiting in the wings. Between today and tomorrow, today receives the greater potential glory. Aquarius Moon is highlighting the need to focus more attention on group projects, team sports, community participation, and global causes close to your heart and mind. Pallas is a big and positive influence as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with this wisdom-magnifying asteroid in Aquarius (9:40AM PST) while the Moon merges its energy-field with Pallas at Noon PST. Add on a highly constructive, 60-degree alliance of the Moon and Sun (12:10PM PST), and there are several hours when you can demonstrate your problem-solving skills with a flourish. Pallas super-strong can also give you a boost with strategy-sessions, research, and enhancing the power of your immune system. Try your luck at playing chess, backgammon or a favorite card game. Keep a notebook nearby your bed overnight to record Technicolor dreams and nocturnal soul-wanderings as the Moon parallels Neptune (10:34PM PST). The Moon linking up with Neptune can also stimulate your urge to improvise on a favorite musical instrument, experiment with a video camera or imagine new dance routines.

Your Cosmic Calendar for Turkey Day

Know where you are going and what you are doing. The cosmos has been super-active during the last 48 hours and this next 24-hour drama is another potential blockbuster. The recent solar entry into Sagittarius and last night’s Mercury reversal are sending out conflicting signals – the solar one suggests moving forward while the mercurial one suggests reviewing and re-evaluating recent experiences. Before tonight’s New Moon (10:11PM PST at 3 degrees of Sagittarius) and Partial Solar Eclipse (10:22PM PST) take place, you need to hang on to this celestial carnival ride as Mercury forms a supportive, 60-degree link to Vesta (5:01AM PST), the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to giant Jupiter (7:44AM PST), Mercury parallels Venus (2:26PM PST), the Moon in Scorpio squares Neptune in Aquarius (3:05PM PST and starting a void lunar cycle lasting until 5:58PM PST when Sagittarius Moon begins), Chiron forms a subtle and yet still important, 30-degree tie to Uranus (4:00PM PST), and Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree connection to Neptune (5:53PM PST). Wow! That’s quite a ride and if it weren’t for the Sun-Jupiter 150-degree encounter, much of this day might be filled with numerous treasures. However, when the two largest celestial bodies are out of joint, it demands a lot of energy to stay on track with your primary needs, tasks, and plans. This day is also strange because the so-called dark-of-the-moon vibes are at white-hot intensity until the New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse happen. And therefore most of this day falls into a category where you need to finish as many old projects as you can on a high note, and leave bold, new undertakings for after the Partial Solar Eclipse happens (10:22PM PST). Even then, you need to be careful about what enterprises you want to launch since Mercury has just begun its three-week reversal. Get set for more cosmic shenanigans tomorrow.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, November 20th

We try to maintain our focus today with the discriminating Virgo Moon filtering out superfluous bits of information. But the dispersive quality of the Sun’s square to dreamy Neptune can turn precise thinking into fuzzy logic. Although this combination encourages our creative visions, it also tempts us with escapist behavior. Balancing fantasy with objective perceptions is easier once the Moon shifts into harmonious Libra at 8:16 pm EST.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that your imagination can conjure up a wonderful future, but you could be misleading yourself today. It’s true that your fantasies might actually guide you along your way, but your intentions must be grounded in reality or they will remain as castles in the air. Although disappointment occurs if you set unrealistic goals, practical seeds should grow into the nourishing fruits of your labor.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Someone might mislead you today, yet it could be your over-eagerness to reach your goals that steers you wrong. Perhaps you misinterpret a message you receive based upon what you want to believe. If the truth comes out, don’t waste time being discouraged. Instead, be thankful that you discovered what’s happening and make whatever adjustments are necessary to put yourself back on track.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could feel the stress that arises from trying to balance your playful nature with a more serious side of life today. For example, your attraction to a one-on-one partnership might conflict with your fear of being too vulnerable. Or, perhaps, your parenting skills may be challenged as dynamics at home go through unexpected changes. In any case, it’s helpful to acknowledge the truth and take the high road whenever possible.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Family matters are still a central focus now, even if your role at home has already undergone dramatic change. You could be taking yourself very seriously these days, but it feels as if your load is lighter today. Unexplored alternatives are being put in your path, but this still may not liberate you from previous obligations. Instead of worrying about what to do, express what’s in your heart — even if you don’t know where it will lead.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be facing an uncomfortable situation that has you wondering about the validity of your role at home or within your community. Don’t lose touch with your feelings, even if you are more analytical than usual when it comes to forming your conclusions now. Although your head and your heart might be in conflict, it’s still a wise idea to keep them in balance without favoring either one over the other.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may think that your life is heading in the right direction now that progressive Mars is in your sign. But you’re also aware that your foundations are built on your beliefs and, perhaps, they are not as firm as you would prefer. But don’t let fear convince you to hold on to your current assumptions just because what you know is more comforting than what you don’t yet understand. Embracing the unknown is scary at first, but it enables you to be open to the potential gains ahead.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might be so moved by someone’s story that you have to avoid further conversation to prevent yourself from getting too emotional. Thankfully, your imagination isn’t restrained today by the facts alone; you’re able to envision a more positive scenario, allowing you to paint an optimistic picture instead of just passively responding to someone’s current problems. Be courageous and inspire others with your passionate dreams of change.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s challenging to balance your desire for meaningful social interaction with other people’s preferences that you don’t take everything so seriously. Nevertheless, it isn’t just business as usual these days and you’re not interested in faking lightheartedness just to satisfy someone else’s needs. Don’t hesitate to say yes to an intriguing invitation if you think getting together with like-minded individuals might provide a safe container for interesting conversation.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s difficult to know what’s real as your fantasies flood your imagination today. Ironically, others may not realize that you’re on a mental holiday because they see a more practical side of you that shows up to take care of business. Fortunately, it doesn’t require much effort to meet your obligations now, so you can continue to gain inspiration from your inner world while simultaneously making progress in your outer world.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your self-doubt could quickly grow out of hand today if you believe that you’re not on the right path. However, you should be able to refocus your energy by drawing from your deep reserve of willpower. Be bold and imagine your future just as you want it to unfold. But don’t expect your dreams to become real unless you’re prepared to work hard and focus your attention on one simple task at a time.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Since you could spend time drifting in and out of your fantasies today, at least make a concerted effort to discern your hopeful dreams from what’s actually happening. It is a magical gift to be able to enhance reality with all your favorite colors, but your cosmetic treatment won’t last, leaving you disillusioned at the end of the day. Be grateful that you can escape from the mundane world for a while, but remember to return to earth so you can gain the satisfaction of meeting your obligations as well.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Sun’s square to elusive Neptune blurs the facts in your world today, challenging you to find enough useful data to make a smart decision about your long-term goals. But your future is so colored by your feelings that you cannot see what’s truly out there. Nevertheless, daydreaming is a key to unlocking the possibilities of the present moment. Set aside a specific time when you  can lose yourself in your fantasies without feeling guilty.

Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, November 20th

Last night – for several hours – the outer planet Uranus became a key planetary player in earthly lives. Now its Neptune’s turn to hog the limelight as this far-out celestial body in Aquarius receives a 90-degree square from the Sun in Scorpio (12:43PM PST). Don’t make the naive mistake in thinking that the only worry concerns 12:43PM PST. There is always a build-up of several hours (at least) before any solar aspect when the vibrations connected to both the Sun and whatever it is interacting with are becoming stronger and stronger. In addition after the alignment has occurred precisely, it isn’t gone, but remains influential – possibly for many hours or even a day or two. The Sun square to Neptune brings up mental clarity and emotional serenity issues. Unfortunately, it is usually the lack of mental clarity and emotional serenity that occurs under the square in question. Part of the problem here is that the Sun and Neptune are in the so-called fixed, power signs of the zodiac where there is a mighty reluctance to change, grow and adapt. Hopefully, just contemplating these concerns can bring you more into an internal state of peace and harmony – the higher goal of the Sun-Neptune face-off in the first place. Meditating to increase enlightenment is definitely a wise approach to working with these Sun-Neptune vibes. Exploring your multi-faceted talents in art, music, dance, poetry, film and photography are other ways to tap into the higher energy-field associated with Neptune. Be aware that a nearly 3-hour void lunar uncertainty zone happens from 2:23PM PST until 5:17PM PST when the Moon enters airy Libra. Thereafter, the cosmic emphasis shifts in the direction of improving the quality of your primary partnerships.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 18th

Today’s expressive Leo Moon provokes us to do whatever is necessary to be seen and heard by those we love. We don’t want to sit on the sidelines now, yet our intentions can become muddled when the Moon squares the Sun and opposes dreamy Neptune this morning. Clear thinking returns as the Moon shifts into precise Virgo at 5:18 pm EST. Still, it helps to remember that our feelings are important and that logic doesn’t give us all the answers.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may believe that no one should tell you what to do today. You might even feel like doing the opposite of what everyone expects, but this arrogant attitude won’t lead to anything positive. It’s smarter to take time to ask what others think and then listen carefully to what they say. There’s nothing wrong with having goals of your own as long as you temper your actions so you won’t upset your best allies.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Sometimes you can be stubborn without even realizing that you have dug your heels into the ground. However, you know exactly what you’re doing today and you most likely have a good reason to hold on to your position. But it still can be a challenge to justify your behavior now because your intense emotions prompt you to be overly defensive. Even if you won’t change your mind, be aware that you’ll have a better chance of getting what you want if you try to be more flexible in your thinking.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need to interact with other people at work today may be blocked by circumstances that appear to be beyond your control. However, you can have a positive effect on your day by envisioning your ideal future instead of concentrating on your current frustrations. A simple shift of focus could alleviate the pressure and prevent rash behavior on your part. Extreme reactions aren’t necessary; moderation improves your chances to achieve satisfaction.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The people in your immediate environment could be so pushy today that you want to resist following their agenda. Unfortunately, passive-aggressive behavior isn’t conducive to getting what you want; neither is losing your temper. Nevertheless, revealing your feelings can be helpful if you present them in a non-judgmental way. Expressing yourself without blaming anyone else is tricky, yet it’s possible with a bit of conscious intention.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could respond so quickly to someone’s invitation that you end up saying yes to more activities than you can handle. It’s worthwhile to take time and think about what happens next or you may be unpleasantly surprised by where your overinflated optimism leads you. However, you don’t need to act too cautiously if you simply temper your enthusiasm. Making good use of your common sense can minimize the chances of a difficult situation developing later on.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your anger today isn’t the best approach to managing an intense interaction with an emotional person. Unfortunately, your feelings are more transparent than you think, leading others to mistrust you if they see that you aren’t being completely honest. Don’t wait until your frustration reaches the boiling point before you say something. Avoid unnecessary arguments by sharing your inner process before it grows out of control.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your need to please your friends may lead to more enjoyment today than you expect. But if you’re only thinking about what you can get out of a situation, your expectations will surely stand in the way of a potentially joyful experience. You may have to manage your desire to maintain control, even if you appear to be unattached to what happens. Your best chance of finding happiness now is interacting with others without trying to manipulate the outcome.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are motivated to take a firm stand on an issue that demonstrates your integrity today. However, your concerns about being judged in a negative light could tempt you to overstate your position. You may be so adamant that others go quiet, thinking there’s no room for meaningful dialogue. You can soften your words without having to compromise your convictions by remembering that someone can hold a different point of view without taking anything away from yours.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your confidence has returned, prompting you to shut off anyone else’s negative feedback about your big plans. If someone is dissatisfied with your stated intentions now, you may be tempted to walk away and do your own thing without any further discussion. However, it’s not wise to be so quick to leave your friends behind. Take a deep breath and slow down today; give others sufficient time to come around to your perspective because everyone will have more fun playing in a group.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may believe that someone is exerting unnecessary control over you now and you aren’t happy about it. Rather than quietly avoiding a direct confrontation, you’re eager to face it head-on. Unfortunately, if you believe that you are right, the dynamics can take a turn for the worse. However, creating a win-win situation flips you into a cooperative mode where everyone comes out ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are supportive of others who are extra clear about their needs; however, you’re not as enamored with those who act selfishly. You may try to maintain an upbeat attitude today, but someone could inadvertently push you too hard, provoking a forceful response. However, you don’t have to slip unconsciously into conflict. Deflect overt aggression by confidently holding your position and cheerfully waiting for things to work out.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might inadvertently make too big of a deal out of what you are doing today because you crave positive feedback, rather than criticism, from others. But doing your work isn’t a guaranteed path to gaining more attention. Don’t waste energy wondering if you are appreciated by your peers; just complete your assignments as efficiently as possible, without looking back. Ultimately, your performance brings more positive recognition than shining the spotlight on yourself.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for Nov. 18th – 20th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

A Different Kind of Love

November 18 – 20

Serious fun is on the menu for Friday night, even though the Moon’s move into methodical Virgo — a sign more associated with work than play — occurs earlier in the afternoon. The Virgo Moon’s practicality and focus on details can burst romantic bubbles and ground high hopes. However, the analytical abilities of Virgo may also be applied to untangle knots of misunderstanding and correct unhealthy habits. But on Friday night the Moon’s harmonious trine with jolly and generous Jupiter, followed by a conjunction with passionate Mars, can provide the motivation and enthusiasm to learn a new dance or cook a complex dinner, all in the name of pleasure. Demonstrating efficiency or cultivating skills may not sound sexy, but competence is a very desirable and useful quality now.

Saturday is perfect for doing tasks with the one you love to combine productivity and closeness. Sunday’s mood is extremely different with the steamy Scorpio Sun’s strong square to fantasy-loving Neptune. This dreamy and spiritual aspect and the Moon’s shift into lovely Libra in the afternoon provide a delightful atmosphere for romance. Use imagination to create a unique environment or a special experience that’s a getaway from ordinary reality, and a ticket to a dreamland where worries melt away and two hearts can beat as one.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 15th

Tap into your creative artistry early as Venus forms an inspirational, 72-degree link to its higher-guardian planet Neptune (12:45AM PST). Love vibrations increase in frequency and erotic impulses intensify. While this particular Venusian alignment is favorable, later this morning the tables are turned as Venus squares Ceres (10:49AM PST). Strive to keep your productivity quotient going strong around this time-period. Trust your feelings and instincts as the day proceeds because the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Scorpio form one of their two monthly trines (8:04PM PST). Experiment with one of grandma’s old-world recipes for fish chowder, apple pie or corn muffins. The lunar orb dives into a void uncertainty cycle at 9:23PM PST during a Moon-Saturn 90-degree clash. This void-of-course Moon cycle lasts until tomorrow morning at 8:18AM PST when the lunar orb enters heart-centered Leo. Meanwhile, Venus and Vesta reach a supportive, 60-degree rapport tonight (11:13PM PST). Connections with a soul-sister or female relative can give you a lift. Issues concerning insurance rates, safety and security matters, and investment plans may be of central concern.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 15th

Emotional insecurities and financial worries lurk in the shadows of our awareness today, yet we could waste energy by attempting to avoid our fears. Although the sensitive Cancer Moon forms a series of uneasy aspects that highlight the differences between our thoughts and our feelings, we are still rather optimistic about the future. We’re eager to leave the angst behind since we’re already anticipating tomorrow’s enthusiastic Mars-Jupiter trine.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Patience may be considered a virtue, but it’s not an easy one for someone as impulsive as you. Thankfully, you’re more receptive to learning about the benefits of waiting when the Moon is in tenacious Cancer. You will be able to enjoy the present moment even more if you don’t push too hard. There’s no need to struggle today; a current issue will reach fruition when it’s ready and not necessarily when you think it should.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ruling planet Venus is flying high in idealistic Sagittarius these days and her quintile to imaginative Neptune today can lure you into believing that your fantasies are true. But you might have a gnawing suspicion that something is off and may be hesitant to make a commitment based solely on your feelings. Listen to your internal voice of reason because it offers a healthy balance to pursuing unrealistic dreams.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Relationships are at the forefront of your thinking today as the emotional Cancer Moon misaligns with thoughtful Mercury in your 7th House of Others. However, it’s not beneficial to automatically place someone else’s needs ahead of yours. Of course, unselfish acts of love can be emotionally transformative, but not if you’re avoiding an important issue of your own that needs attention now. Taking care of yourself first enables you to give someone special a more meaningful gift later.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your actions are motivated by your need to make good feelings last longer now that the Moon is in your nurturing sign. But you might feel as if everything is moving along too quickly for your taste, prompting you to find ways to slow down. Remember, time is on your side; be patient and pay attention to what’s happening in the present moment rather than trying to manipulate events in order to get what you want.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel like the eye of a hurricane today; even if storms of change are circling around you, you still manage to remain calm and continue on your path. But now you might need to make several adjustments to your plan as you respond to the fluctuating circumstances. Even if you get caught up in the craziness of the moment, your positive attitude will help you stay on track.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your social life seems to be in turmoil today as the cautious Cancer Moon moves through your 11th House of Friends. However, you may be overly distracted by your fear of not fitting in. Rather than trying to alter your behavior to meet other people’s expectations, consider curtailing some of your superfluous activities. A bit of rest and relaxation will have a more positive impact on your life than a few hours of meaningless chatter.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus reminds you of the importance of your dreams today as she creates a magical quintile with elusive Neptune. Sometimes it’s not healthy to get lost in fantasies, but now they can be a source of solace and even inspiration. However, don’t expect all your wishes to come true; instead, seek satisfaction in what’s real while also honoring your ideas about an ideal future.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feelings are growing in intensity now, but others might not notice anything different about you. This is not because of a shortcoming in anyone else; it’s a result of your skill in hiding your feelings today. Keeping quiet for another day may be long enough to give you the time needed to untangle your complex desires. It’s better to make a rational decision than one based on an impulsive reaction.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The security-conscious Cancer Moon challenges you to balance your wanderlust with your current need for security. You may have exciting ideas about your possible adventures during the next few weeks, but you might also be feeling quite exhausted. Suddenly, staying home could sound more appealing than going anywhere. Instead of trying to reconcile your conflicting desires, make enough room in your schedule for both rest and play.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your social and career ambitions are extremely important to you, but sometimes it’s useful to set your goals aside for a while. Your ruling planet Saturn forms an otherworldly septile to mental Mercury today, enabling you to retreat and enjoy yourself instead of worrying about getting ahead. It’s okay to forget about your obligations for just a little while. Your responsibilities aren’t going anywhere; but you’ll feel rejuvenated and better equipped to tackle your work after you return from a playful excursion.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are comfortable with your logical approach to life, even if others think you’re emotionally aloof or just plain weird. Ironically, you might not be able to avoid your feelings today, even if you prefer to present a cool and carefree image. Don’t resist the strong emotional currents as your changing moods draw you out of your head and into your body. Showing your vulnerability could actually strengthen your connection with someone you love.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re in touch with your feelings, yet you’re quite reserved today when it comes to expressing them. Maybe you don’t want to burden a friend with your current situation or, perhaps, you’re fearful of being rejected. Either way, inaccurate assumptions could stand between you and your happiness. Don’t fall victim to your own negativity now. If you muster up enough courage to ask for what you need, you might be pleasantly surprised with what happens.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, November 14th

The Moon is at home again as she enters her comfortable sign of emotional Cancer at 2:18 am EST. However, our heightened sensitivity doesn’t necessarily make it any easier to manage our feelings as the Moon squares irrepressible Uranus. We may not be able to avoid a confrontation as the Moon opposes ruthless Pluto. Nevertheless, Venus creates magical aspects to Saturn and Neptune, bringing inspiration that is grounded by our need for security.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you might be strongly attached to someone special, it’s still difficult for you to express your desires today unless you feel emotionally safe. You may be overly concerned that your needs are not supported by the current situation, leading you to keep quiet about them. Unfortunately, remaining silent isn’t a viable strategy since it will be apparent that you’re holding something back. Ultimately, it isn’t what you choose to share that’s problematic now; it’s how you deliver the message that counts.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re attracted to something or someone who pushes against your boundaries today, but you’re hesitant to act on your feelings. You might think that you shouldn’t step outside your comfort zone and therefore deny what you actually like. Don’t try to rationalize your feelings; you aren’t required to justify your tastes to anyone. It’s time for you to live your own life without worrying about the expectations of others.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t necessarily like the thought of slowing down, but acting responsibly to get what you want could keep you in one place for a while. You won’t be satisfied if you just run off to the next event, so stop and face the music now. Fortunately, your fears are more challenging than what will actually happen. Sink into the messy realm of feelings today; navigating watery emotional spaces isn’t your natural preference, but it’s essential to your spiritual well-being.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A difference of opinion that has bothered you for a while reaches a critical stage today, leaving you nowhere to go with your feelings. Your emotional sensitivity contributes to the turmoil, but losing your temper might seem like the only way to clear the air of unexpressed emotions. A smarter strategy is to express your frustrations before they reach the boiling point. Sharing what’s in your heart can help to bring down your walls and amplify the love that’s already in your life.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your grand gestures today may reveal more than you want, especially if you’re feeling a bit vulnerable. Unfortunately, your magnanimity won’t likely express your true emotions now. You still might need to go through the motions of sharing your feelings. Remember, once you have worked through your stress, you should be able to reclaim your power by simply being yourself.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re not interested in burdening any of your friends, but it might be smarter to let them know what you’ve been dealing with, rather than keeping everything to yourself. Don’t go looking for sympathy; just accept responsibility for your place in life and keep working to manifest your dreams. Instead of being negative or fearful, just take the time to catch up with everyone and then move on.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could run into your share of difficult emotions as you think about the tough issues that are still ahead of you. Luckily, you may have already started to take responsibility for your future. But don’t fall into the trap of believing that you have to fix everything at once. Although you still have time, it will be easier to deal with the complications ahead if you don’t ignore the inevitable for too long.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although your goals may be coming into focus, it still seems as if the road to your future is being blocked by the past. Old fears may resurface today when you realize that nothing will change until you shift your own attitude. This might not be a reassuring thought, especially if you focus on the obstacles instead of your dreams. Have faith; the significant progress you’ve already made will continue to grow more evident in the days ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A wave of uncertainty flows into your life today, intensifying your emotions and reminding you to stop running around long enough to process your feelings. But you might worry that others will question your effectiveness. Fortunately, you haven’t lost your edge; you’re just moving through a phase of inner growth that doesn’t mix well with your outgoing style. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, breaking away for meditation and contemplation can be exactly what’s needed to get back in the groove.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today’s schedule doesn’t necessarily allow time for an emotional melodrama, so you’ll probably try to keep your feelings all to yourself. Unfortunately, your strategy could fall apart if someone involves you in the same kind of drama that you’re attempting to avoid. Although you’re ready to run, keep your heart and mind open to what you’re being shown now rather than exhausting yourself resisting an important lesson.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your optimism could collide with reality today, but you might not be ready to face a lingering issue head-on. The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment challenges you to stay objective at work because you have definite opinions about nearly everything. Resistance from friends or co-workers is tiring, but also serves to clarify your thinking now. Thankfully, the truth can help dissipate your fear and bring a newfound freedom from the past.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if you’re worried about the wisdom of a recent choice, you’re also optimistic that things are improving. Fortunately, you can be very patient now, even if your emotions are all over the place. It’s hard to tell if you’re overreacting or if the residual negativity you’re feeling is actually real. Be smart and wait a few days before changing your game plan. In the meantime, concentrate on the best possible outcome instead of stressing about the past.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for November 14th

Working and learning mix well with playing this weekend while the Moon visits competent Virgo. Winging it won’t invite intimacy, but taking on a project with someone is a way to get closer while getting things done. Sunday is a day of rest or, at least, escape. The Sun’s spacey square with dreamy Neptune is ideal for pushing reality out of the way and letting fantasies rule.

 

 
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Engaging in physical exercise can be a great way to connect with others this weekend. The Virgo Moon is traveling through your 6th House of Self-Improvement, which rewards you for purposeful efforts and planning ahead. However, there is a risk of being too critical or encountering people who focus on your flaws. Don’t waste time quibbling over minor details. Happily, Sunday is a time of forgiveness when mistakes can be erased with loving acts of kindness.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon is dancing in your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday, which should add some extra spice to your personal life. Yet the lunar presence in precise Virgo works best when you have specific activities scheduled in advance. Nevertheless, it’s important to be flexible enough to alter your plans if necessary. Aiming for perfection is admirable, but it’s not helpful to be too self-critical. A little improvement goes a long way to bring you some positive attention.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Entertaining at your place makes perfect sense this weekend. The Virgo Moon’s presence in your domestic 4th house on Friday and Saturday enables you to feel more comfortable and cozy at home. There’s no need to get overly elaborate since a simple, well-planned experience is more likely to succeed than going overboard. The Moon shifts into lovely Libra and your 5th House of Romance on Sunday evening, offering up the possibility of having a delicious time with a delightful companion.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Serious discussions are on the agenda this weekend. The analytical Virgo Moon spends Friday and Saturday working in your 3rd House of Communication. Nitpicking over little things and worrying about minor matters isn’t constructive, but addressing real concerns in specific terms is advised. Putting your feelings into words isn’t always easy, but clarifying issues that are important to you is worth the effort.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Managing all of your resources wisely, including your time, money and energy, is essential this weekend. The careful Virgo Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth signals a definite need to be realistic and modest in your approach. Even if you’re feeling confident, it’s smart to avoid overloading yourself with too many activities. Doing less with greater attention to detail is more satisfying now and others can’t help but appreciate and admire your work.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon in your sign this weekend casts you in the bright spotlight. It’s great to get all the attention as long as you’re not too hard on yourself in the process. Physical activities like dancing can be great fun on Friday night since you should have extra energy at your disposal. Letting your feelings rise to the surface might seem a little awkward, but it’s healthier to be honest than to hide your emotions now. Relationships rooted in reality have more chances for success as long as you speak from your heart.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon is hiding out in your secretive 12th house this weekend, which makes these better times for enjoying quiet, private events than being lost in the midst of a loud crowd. Intimate conversations or time alone can help you untangle some knots that inhibit your relationships. Connecting with others is easy once you are back to your usual charming and friendly self on Sunday night when the Moon moves into your sociable sign. Shining your light will attract the ones you love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Friends and co-workers supplement your social life this weekend because going out with a group of people or connecting with someone through an organization can be surprisingly rewarding. Keep in mind that an attraction to a pal or colleague might complicate matters. Still, being with someone who shares your ideals and values can get a relationship off to a good start. The Moon slips into Libra and your 12th House of Privacy on Sunday night, which is perfect for enjoying some rest and relaxation.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may have too many obligations on your plate to be able to fulfill your social aspirations this weekend. The Moon is in your 10th House of Responsibility on Friday and Saturday, which occupies your time with a multitude of tasks. Still, taking care of business in a competent manner may impress others and makes you more desirable to someone special. Sunday night is a whole different ballgame once the Moon shifts into sociable Libra and your gregarious 11th house, enabling you to work the crowd with your charm and humor.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Breaking free from your usual activities is a wonderful way to liven up the weekend. The Virgo Moon is traveling through your adventurous 9th House on Friday and Saturday, encouraging you to explore unfamiliar territory. Participating in cultural events, especially from faraway places, can be extremely rewarding. Just don’t compare everything you see and do to your traditional tastes. Stepping outside of your comfort zone opens your mind to new forms of pleasure and delight.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Dealing with relationship complications may not be your idea of fun, but it could be just what the doctor ordered for this weekend. The rational Virgo Moon is in your 8th House of Intimacy, challenging you to address values and desires that are different from your own. Yet if you embrace this emotional process, you can enhance a current alliance or increase your chances of creating a new one. Just remember that being kind while being real is key.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Virgo Moon is hanging out in your 7th House of Partners on Friday and Saturday, which puts relationships front and center in your life. The challenge is to deal with matters in a more realistic way instead of letting your emotions get the best of you. Talking about what works and what doesn’t work is not the most romantic activity. Yet your willingness to examine issues in a mature manner builds the foundation for a successful union.

Cosmic Calendar for Monday, November 14th

Compared to next week, this week’s cosmic alignments appear to be fairly tame for the most part. However, you still need to move through a Mars-Neptune contra-parallel that happens early today (12:59AM PST). A week ago, these two planets opposed each other from Leo to Aquarius in the zodiac. Now they are 12+ degrees north (Mars) and 12+ degrees south (Neptune) of the Celestial Equator. And when planets make this kind of contact – on either side of the Celestial Equator – they are said to be in a contra-parallel connection (somewhat similar to a zodiacal opposition in effect). The bottom line is that a mischief-maker vibe is now present in primary partnerships. Lashing out in anger at a well-meaning loved one, associate or friend is a no-no. Restrain yourself from making harsh remarks that will quickly come back to haunt you. In addition, strive for clarity in discussions and correspondence. The red planet mingling its energy-field with far-out, dreamy Neptune can equate with a rising tide of confusion and nebulosity. Plus – this Mars-Neptune confrontation may stay influential for much of the day. On the lunar front, you are in better shape as the Moon transits Cancer – stimulating the urge to cook, bake and conduct home clean-up campaigns. Don’t be surprised if a wave of nostalgia strikes and you feel determined to learn more about your ancestral tree. Helping you expand your consciousness along numerous horizons is a supportive, 60-degree link from the Moon to Jupiter (5:23AM PST). Put the power of positive thinking to practical use.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 11th

The reliable Taurus Moon gives us enough determination to reach our destinations, as long as our goals remain realistic. Although our stubborn single-mindedness should make it nearly impossible to be distracted, the Moon’s square to dispersive Neptune encourages our thoughts to wander as daydreams begin to overtake us. The Moon shifts into inquisitive Gemini at 3:09 pm EST, further scattering whatever concentration we had earlier in the day.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might want to take some time off today, but you could end up much busier than expected. It’s tempting to kick back in the morning, but it’s likely that you’ll pay a price if you fall behind on your work. Procrastination isn’t a good idea now; turn your day around by working hard first and then making time to pursue your own interests after you fulfill your responsibilities.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your emotions may still be close to the surface today, but you probably feel calmer than you did yesterday. It’s easier to take things in stride now, even if your feelings are confusing. However, you might receive information later in the day that conflicts with what you thought was true. Instead of being overly concerned about the contrary stories, entertain all possibilities as the truth until the facts sort themselves out.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone could be working to block your progress, but the Moon’s shift into facile Gemini this afternoon allows you to smoothly sidestep most of the resistance. Don’t overreact before you know what’s going on, because you could inadvertently turn a figment of your imagination into something real by giving it too much attention today. Instead, just continue doing your best and let the situation develop on its own.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Getting into a flow of creativity feels good today, even if you’re content to work behind the scenes. You may be producing something wonderful, but you don’t necessarily want others to see what you’re doing yet. Continue along your path without worrying about what anyone else thinks of your current endeavors. You’ll receive the recognition you deserve later on when it really matters.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Tensions begin to ease, leaving you with the desire to integrate your feelings more completely into your whole life, rather than having them neatly tied up in a box. You may be afraid that others won’t understand your actions, leading you to pull back a little at this time. Although you must function within your family or community, it’s more important to acknowledge what is in your heart, no matter how anyone else judges you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel a jolt of energy now that active Mars is spending his first full day in your sign. Others think you’re doing well because they can’t help but notice your “I can do it” attitude. However, issues that are out of everyone else’s sight can still negatively impact your day if you try to avoid your emotions. Instead of pretending that you are fine today, show real courage and reveal your vulnerability to someone you trust.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A bit of worry could lurk behind your easy smile today, but your self-doubt may vanish when the Moon enters the 3rd House of Gemini and your 9th House of Big Ideas this afternoon. You don’t even need to change anything, although you might feel as if your timing is off if you don’t react immediately. The best way to overcome your uncertainty is to remember that the details may not be as significant as they seem. There’s no need to get hung up with what can go wrong if you stick to the simplicity of the present moment.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re able to breathe much easier now as yesterday’s Full Moon intensity starts to wane. Your feelings were trapped behind a dam and now the waters are flowing again. Nevertheless, don’t gloss over any residual blocked feelings because bringing them into awareness will ultimately help you reach satisfaction. Just remember to let go of the past once the stuck energy is moving or you won’t be able to swim into the future.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel as if you’re bouncing around in a sea of intense forces that you cannot control. You could fritter away time and energy by trying to take charge of your life today, but a smarter tactic is to soften your position and temporarily let go of your agenda. However, you don’t need to alter your overall direction; just lessen the pressure by demonstrating your trust in the wisdom of the cosmos.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be able to find your groove and accomplish a great deal today while also enjoying yourself. Although your pace is steady and your resolve is unwavering, social connections at work can become more meaningful than your job itself. Don’t let any important feelings slip into denial; be vigilant about keeping all communications clear and above board. Hiding the truth now can multiply problems later, so share your concerns and then let them go.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Events at work can take an odd detour that ultimately reveals a whole new perspective. It doesn’t matter if you can’t logically figure out how all the disparate pieces fit into place, since more is going on than is apparent on the surface. Although maintaining a flexible attitude isn’t always easy for you — especially when you are sure that you know the truth — today it holds the key to your happiness.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your commitment to work may be so over the top now that it becomes counterproductive. Don’t take yourself so seriously today, especially if you really believe that you have no time at all for any frivolous activities. Ironically, you’ll accomplish more if you loosen up and focus some of your attention on maintaining healthy relationships away from your place of employment. It’s true: all work and no play makes Johnny (or Susie) a dull boy (or girl).

Cosmic Calendar for November 11th

After the flurry of celestial excitement during the last 48 hours, it is likely that today ought to be more in the calm and reasonable astro-psychic category. For the most part, this is true — although this is the eleventh day of the eleventh month in the year 2011. Thus, if the number 11 seems to be extra prominent in your wheeling and dealing today, do not be too surprised. The Moon in Taurus squares Neptune in Aquarius (8:28AM PST) — suggesting that some temporary confusion may be creating a hazy, chaotic condition in society. This lunar aspect also starts a 3+ hour void uncertainty zone that lasts until 12:11PM PST when the Moon enters flexible and curious Gemini. Finish odds and ends during the lunar void time-period, but wait until the Moon’s entry into Gemini before starting new and bold ventures. Be more of a high-tech aficionado and computer wizard as the Moon makes a constructive, 60-degree rapport with revolutionary Uranus (2:08PM PST). Catch up on correspondence, educational and literary pursuits. During the 48 hours after any Full Moon, it is wise to keep sending out the illumination you have received to your fellow travelers on board Spaceship Earth. You may feel the need to protect your valuables and investments later on due to a fractious, 45-degree link-up between Vesta and Uranus (7:13PM PST). Research and investigative work are in the spotlight shortly thereafter when Saturn in Libra makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie to distant Pluto in Capricorn (7:35PM PST).

Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 10th

This is a good point in this calendar to remind you that celestial alignments and events on one day don’t necessarily disappear the day after. Therefore, yesterday’s Neptune station is very much a reality today as well. It is just that a powerful Full Moon (activating 19 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus at 12:17PM PST) and the direct station of Chiron at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST) are now the main astrological happenings spreading their influences throughout humanity. Individual and group meditations are advised in and around the time-period of the Full Moon. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to dear ones, friends, associates, and the kingdoms of nature. Since the Sun parallels Ceres (12:59PM PST) an extra note of nurturance and maternal care is being expressed throughout our social interactions. Meanwhile, the comet-like celestial body Chiron – that has been in retrograde motion since June 8 – stops from our vantage point and begins forward motion at 1 degree of Pisces (3:15PM PST). [Chiron stays forward until June 11, 2012 when it will shift into retrograde motion again at 10 degrees of Pisces.] All Chiron themes – the maverick, the wounded healer, the shaman, keys that open doors to higher consciousness, bridge-building between the spiritual and material planes, twilight zones of strange awareness, holistic healing and alternative medicine, herbalism and folk medicine, catalysts, shape-shifting and oracles – are reinforced throughout the day. Another major cosmic shift concerns Mars entering Virgo (8:16PM PST) for an extended stay until July 3, 2012 due to the red planet’s eventual retrograde cycle from January 23, 2012 to April 13, 2012. Mars in the sixth sign of the zodiac places an emphasis on being more organized, orderly in your approach to work and business, and striving to be an efficiency master at your residence or on the job.

New Moon Report for Nov. 10 – Chiron Direct

Chiron Direct

Thursday, November 10

The Wounded Healer’s shift into forward motion is a subtle influence that can slowly begin to externalize vulnerability. This isn’t about complaining and playing the victim; it’s a way of sharing feelings that encourages closeness and compassion without descending into self-pity.

New Moon Report for Nov. 9th – Neptune Direct

Neptune Direct

Wednesday, November 9

Overt expressions of idealism, compassion, imagination and spirituality come more easily with Neptune’s forward turn after five months in retrograde. Dreams held silently in our hearts may slowly rise to the surface where we can take steps to turn them into reality.

Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, November 9th

Every month when the Moon unites with giant Jupiter (7:21AM PST), this specific lunar conjunction (right now in earthy Taurus) can represent the highlight of the day as well as the most important cosmic happening. Not so today. Some 3+ hours after this increase in euphoria and positive thinking, far-out Neptune at 29 degrees of Aquarius grabs center stage by ceasing its recent retrograde motion and making a direct station (10:55AM PST). [Neptune remains in forward motion until June 4, 2012 when it once again reverses gears at 4 degrees of Pisces.] While our modern calculations for planetary placements in the zodiac give out a precise time for the pausing in space of Neptune, the reality is that Neptune’s major themes are active all day long. When Neptune is positive in its influence, we are immersed in spiritual insights, revelatory dreams, astounding visions of the future or other dimensions of consciousness – plus marvelous explorations in the fine and graphic arts, music, dance, theater, poetry, film and photography. Neptune can also equate with activity in and around waterways, and regarding oceanic and sea life. On the shadow side, Neptune correlates with addictive behavior, feelings of martyrdom and sacrifice as well as a rising tide of confusion, chaos and uncertainty. The practicality and business-like approach of lunar Taurus goes against the grain of the bulk of Neptunian archetypes. Primary partnerships may receive a boost this evening as Juno in Scorpio makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Pluto in Capricorn (10:08PM PST). Be prepared for a new wave of inspiration seeking entrance into the minds of human souls as tomorrow brings a potent Full Moon (12:17PM PST on Thursday) and the direct station of Chiron in Pisces (3:15PM PST on Thursday).

Cosmic Calendar for November 8th

As mentioned at the end of yesterday’s calendar entry, this day starts off with some extra oomph in the right direction as the Moon parallels Jupiter (1:39AM PST). Even though this lunar aspect won’t last a long time, it reinforces optimism as the day begins. Since the Moon in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra (10:11AM PST), the earlier lunar contact with buoyant Jupiter can help to keep you out of the doldrums. In addition, excitement builds around the time when the Sun makes a frictional, 135-degree link to Uranus (11:40AM PST). Uranus strong can equate with a rising tide of surprises and shock waves, but you may also make advances on the cutting edge of science and metaphysics. A Moon-Mars parallel (2:34PM PST) suggests a slow-down around that time-period in order that you avoid making rash acts that will boomerang against you. Another reason to slow your tempo today is that Venus and Mercury form abrasive, 45-degree ties to Saturn at 5:42PM PST and 7:11PM PST, respectively. Be more productive in arts, crafts and hobbies as the Sun in Scorpio forms a flowing trine to Ceres in Pisces (8:40PM PST). This aspect doubles as a catalyst to help you make sensible dietary and nutritional changes. Physical and emotional vitality is on the rise – courtesy of the Moon in Aries trine to Mars in Leo (9:47PM PST). However, this alignment also starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 11:46PM PST when the Moon enters earthy Taurus. Gear up for tomorrow’s Neptune shift from reverse to direct in Aquarius as well as the upcoming Full Moon and Chiron shift from reverse to direct in Pisces on Thursday.
