Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Nov. 7th

The pioneering Aries Moon infuses us with enthusiasm and encourages us to explore unfamiliar places and seek new experiences. We love the excitement of an adrenaline rush. However, warrior Mars opposes nebulous Neptune today, provoking us to fight imaginary enemies, sending us off in the wrong direction or just taking the wind out of our sails. This disorienting combination can also be confusing because our overactive imaginations seem real.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re all dressed up and ready to go with the Moon in your sign. But your key planet Mars is engaged in a tug of war with otherworldly Neptune that can pull you into a parallel universe. You could slip on a metaphysical banana peel, leaving you uncertain about what to do next. Instead of driving faster to reach your destination, admit that you don’t know where you’re going. It makes more sense to relax than to waste your energy.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s no need to work yourself into a state of high anxiety, especially since the conclusions you draw today are likely built upon incorrect assumptions. You cannot trust your senses now because you can’t help projecting your fantasies onto the events you perceive, creating a loss of objectivity. Enjoy the movie your mind is directing, but treat the scenes as a work of fiction rather than a documentary. Your view of reality will be clear again in a few days.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may sound very confident when you share your intentions with your friends or co-workers, but you might actually be covering up your uncertainty. It appears that you’re running out of time, but it’s not wise to make decisions now just to placate others. Avoid finalizing plans today because confusing Neptune can mess up even the simplest agenda or itinerary for the next few days.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are charged up and raring to show everyone at work what you can do now that the feisty Aries Moon is in your 10th House of Career. You are highly motivated, believing that little will get in your way of success. But you may lose your concentration and fall victim to your own self-doubt, even if it’s not warranted. Ironically, you’ll probably accomplish more today if you don’t try so hard. A gentle but tenacious approach is a smarter one than coming out ready to set the world on fire.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although combative Mars is still in your dramatic sign until Thursday, you may feel as if you’ve lost your fighting edge today. It’s not that your defensive skills are diminished; it’s just that you’re more inclined to engage with others in a much subtler manner now. Your adversary may not even realize that you made a move, but you can be so effective as a spiritual warrior that you win a duel without ever drawing your sword.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s difficult to put your finger on something concrete that’s happening today, yet you know that you’re on to something significant. You can sense that an energetic shift is drawing near, but you’re not quite ready to let go of your current routine yet. Even if you’re champing at the bit, hold on a little longer. Waiting isn’t easy now, but it’s smarter than making the wrong move right out of the gate.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are driven to participate in a group activity today, even if it’s just working on a project as part of a team. But it’s different from your typical need to relate to others. This is more about losing your identity to a larger cause. Put as much energy as you can into your efforts now, for your need to re-establish your individuality will begin to resurface by the end of the week.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your key planet Mars is nearing the end of its visit to your 10th House of Public Responsibility, yet today’s opposition to diffusive Neptune may have you wondering about what comes next. Since you have been extremely focused on work, you may be longing for a bit of downtime. Give yourself permission to dream about going on a retreat; you’ll be given a chance to turn this wish into a reality soon enough after your work is done.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your love of adventure could get the best of you today as you obsess about going on an amazing journey to an exotic destination. Unfortunately, delusional Neptune is tugging on action-hero Mars, now in your 9th House of Big Ideas. It’s healthy to entertain travel fantasies, but don’t be disappointed when you realize that you got carried away by confusing your wishes with reality.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel as if you’re on an amusement park ride today — and you don’t like it one bit. You’re not happy wasting valuable time because you have too many things to do and you want both feet planted firmly on the ground. You don’t want someone else controlling your life, even if it’s just for a simple turn on the roller coaster. Nevertheless, practicing flexibility is wiser now than resisting what you cannot change.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone may be giving you directions today, but you’re still not sure what you’re supposed to do. Perhaps communication is muddled, or, maybe you have ideas about doing things your way. Unfortunately, you can jeopardize a working relationship unless you go out of your way to empathize with others. If you keep in mind that there are multiple paths to any destination, you won’t get so frustrated when you realize you’ve taken a detour.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be tired of doing the same thing in the exact same way. You want to try a different approach, but you need to make it clear to everyone exactly what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Unfortunately, being bored isn’t the reason that your co-workers want to hear, so it might make more sense to keep your motives to yourself until you know that your new method is successful.

Cosmic Calendar for November 7th

p worrying about things you cannot control. That’s one of the cosmic messages streaming into humanity as the red planet Mars in Leo forms a dicey opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (4:35AM PST). Not all opposition or polarity aspects are negative, but it is hard to sugar-coat this one and make it sound pleasant and user-friendly. First of all, these Mars-Neptune 180-degree link-ups only happen approximately every two years. Therefore, they are fairly rare and that makes them more potent. Generally speaking, sparks are flying in a wide variety of relationships. The partnerships can be romantic, business-oriented, friendships or simply new contacts. Nonetheless, Mars is bringing strong desires, passions and intensity into the picture while Neptune – striving for bliss and universal peace – is more likely to activate feelings of sacrifice and uncertainty. The combination usually winds up creating a mishmash of chaos in which interactions with others are more probably nebulous than sensitive and calm. You may still try to tweak this Mars-Neptune sky pattern into giving you added charisma and personal magnetism. Being more psychic and imaginative is another way to bypass the more discordant nature of this celestial tug-of-war. The late-evening vibrations are more conducive to experiencing improvement across the board since the Moon is approaching an upbeat, enthusiastic parallel to Jupiter (forming exactly at 1:39AM PST on Tuesday). Note: Start preparing for Neptune and Chiron direct stations on Wednesday November 9 and Thursday November 10 – including the Full Moon also on November 10.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Nov. 1

We are reminded of the differences between logic and imagination today as rational Mercury squares intuitive Neptune. This creative yet oftentimes confusing aspect comes on the heels of yesterday’s Venus-Neptune square, so our unrealistic desires are mixed with dreamy thoughts. However, the sensible Capricorn Moon helps us turn our fantasies into reality. The air begins to clear when the Moon shifts into intellectual Aquarius at 6:07 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may not know what to do with the brilliant ideas that pop into your head today. Ironically, friends and coworkers become less convinced that your approach will work the more you try to explain it. They may agree with your position, but they’re not sure that you can transform your clever strategy into a practical plan. It won’t help to ramble on about what you will do. Save your long speeches for another time; for now, lead with actions rather than words.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You believe that you’re being very realistic, but you probably won’t have such a firm grip on reality today. At first you may persuade others that you’re in control, but you are more likely to confuse them as you contradict yourself later on. Although you’re able to explain a complicated concept now, it’s more challenging to just give simple directions. Be smart and let someone else temporarily hold the reins of control.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is in its trickster mode today as it squares irrational Neptune. You may try to think clearly, but it’s challenging to finish sentences when your ideas float off into the mists of illusion and fantasy. Remember your analytical process is muddled now, so don’t be overly certain about what you know. Wait a couple of days before reconsidering your options.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be better off today by remaining as silent as possible. If you avoid saying too much, you can come out of a tangled emotional web appearing as if you are a real hero. Although it could be difficult to see both sides of a conflict now, you still realize that there’s no single straightforward solution. Pretending to have the answer will probably just create disappointment; your wisest strategy is to wait it out. If you have something crucial to add to the discussion, it will be even more relevant in a day or two.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s very reassuring when your personal goals are consistent with your actual duties at work. However, it can be quite disconcerting now if they’re not. Your current situation may be complicated by a friend or business partner who isn’t communicating clearly. If you’re trying to finalize a decision, it would be better to have the support of those around you. Be patient; others will begin to cooperate more in the days ahead.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This can be an unusual but exciting day when you’re more inclined to tell a story or write a poem than act in a fully rational manner. You want everyone to acknowledge how clever you are, but it isn’t easy to concentrate on details today. Don’t set yourself up for failure by trying to deliver something beyond your current capability. Give yourself permission to lose yourself in a daydream; you can always return to your work tomorrow.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your sign of The Scales symbolizes your commitment to seeking balance, even when it’s elusive. You might end up spinning your wheels today if you think you can use logic to find the calm center of the storm. But you won’t re-establish your center of gravity by keeping still; instead of sitting in a yoga pose, imagine that you are a figure skater in motion. Your easy grace arises from being one with the flow rather than trying to cling to the status quo.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t in the mood to argue with anyone who seems to know all the answers since you don’t feel the need to prove anything. However, it won’t help if you just walk away from a discussion simply because you’re afraid that a disagreement will ensue. Remember that it always takes two to create conflict. Demonstrate your wisdom by remaining clear about your facts and beliefs without having to compete with others.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can turn a rather mundane day into an exciting one as long as you don’t attempt to resolve the dualistic way you approach life today. On one hand, you’re thinking like an analytical scientist, carefully observing your current situation in a cool and detached manner. But on the other hand, you’re like an artist, directly engaging your experiences by responding with a wide spectrum of emotions. Each method has something of value to offer, so tune in to your head and your heart at the same time without closing down either one.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want to believe that your instincts won’t steer you wrong because the Moon is back in your pragmatic sign. However, you may have temporarily lost your ability to separate threads that are spun in your imagination from those that are woven with reality. Normally you are a champ at keeping fact and fiction distinct, yet now the fabric of life contains both. Don’t overanalyze what’s happening; just appreciate the magic of what you can create.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are motivated to communicate the recent vague visions you’ve been having, but the more you try to describe them, the less others understand. Your thoughts are elusive and cannot easily fit into words, unless you have a particular spiritual discipline that helps you to frame your experience. Awakening your inner artist, poet or mystic, however, can help you explain the subtleties of your current perspective.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Logical Mercury is forming a creative square with your ruling planet Neptune, opening your imagination to realities that exist beyond the realm of language. This can be very confusing if you want to be specific in your communication today. Unfortunately, even the most basic ideas are slippery now. Instead of increasing your frustration by trying to manage too many details, put this kind of work off until tomorrow when your concentration returns.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, October 31st

The practical Capricorn Moon tells us not to trust our feelings, for they are as unstable as the shifting desert sands. Normally, our common sense would prevail when making decisions, but today’s stressful lunar aspects to the personal planets Mars, Mercury and Venus warp our perspectives. Additionally, our desires are further sensitized as romantic Venus squares idealistic Neptune, magnifying the fantasy factor in our attractions to others.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are smooth as silk today and can spin fantastic stories to support your goals. The images you use seem real to others as you describe your plan or try to get someone to join your cause. However, you should tread carefully because you can convince yourself that you are right, even if you’re missing the point. Telling everyone what to do may work out okay as long as you consider the needs of the whole community and not just yours.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not be able to turn off the flow of fantasies that spring forth from your imagination today, but you still can be totally aware of what you do with your ideas. Your idealism enriches your day by bringing an endless supply of creative material, but this stream of ideas or pictures can also distract you from your real work. Escaping into dreams may not seem productive, but using them for motivation is a wise strategy now.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may not be interested in beating around the bush now; you’re eager to say whatever’s necessary to justify your position. Nevertheless, you are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, so you could start off tentatively. You might be pleasantly surprised by all the feedback you receive that clears the way for constructive conversations. Keep your facts straight today, because a faulty assumption on your part can turn a spirited discussion into a comedy of misunderstandings.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expressing your feelings with someone you trust at work might not be on your agenda today, but something may stimulate a strong reaction, prompting you to share everything that’s on your mind. Be careful because once you begin to talk, you could inadvertently say too much. Thankfully, it’s simple to prevent an awkward situation by just seriously considering what you are going to say before you open your mouth.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your creativity is flowing strongly today, whether you are working or simply enjoying yourself. You might not want to plan too many details of your day, since each activity slips dreamily into the next one. But you must stay on your toes, for your heightened emotions allow you to be easily misled now. Verbal communication may be the source of misunderstandings, so watch what others do before trusting what they say.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have inflated hopes about a family gathering, and can run into trouble if you harbor unrealistic expectations. Your ruling planet Mercury encourages you to daydream now, but you could turn a perfectly sensible idea into a grand fiasco. As tempted as you are to expand on a smart theme, it’s smarter to keep plans simple and the drama to a minimum.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are a master illusionist today as your key planet Venus squares surreal Neptune. This can work to your advantage if you are the host or hostess that ends up dealing with others’ unresolved feelings. Your diplomatic skills assist you in influencing others with your fair-minded perspective. Keep in mind that intuition can lead you down the wrong path, so pay attention to the facts for the greatest positive impact.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Family dynamics may be confusing now because someone is quick to hide his or her true feelings. It’s difficult to know what others want unless you’re willing to climb out on a limb and ask them. This may sound straightforward enough, yet you might end up hearing a lot more than you wanted to know. Nevertheless, you’ll be better off when you learn the truth and then can honestly share what’s on your mind.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The power of your convictions should be enough to help someone else through an episode of low self-esteem today. The smartest reaction to uncertainty now is to quickly get your facts in order, and then talk about what can be done to clarify the issues. Don’t be afraid of looking ahead; the bold actions you take can set the pace for your friends and family.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your schedule may keep you busier than you imagined, even if you were planning on less activity rather than more. But the current noise in your life might seem worse than it really is today because you cannot determine how to turn off the stream of creative thoughts and unconventional feelings. Remembering that you don’t always need to be in control of everything; letting go allows you to enjoy every moment for exactly what it is.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re aware of what’s best for everyone else now, and would like to be acknowledged for your altruistic behavior. However, your ideals could be incongruent with your emotional needs. Fortunately, you won’t have to choose one over the other. If you can muster up enough courage to talk about how your inner desires conflict with your responsibilities, you might be able to achieve satisfaction on both fronts.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a long list of chores that may be left over from last week, but you seem to feel unsure of your ability to accomplish much at all today. The best strategy to deal with your current concerns is to concentrate on fulfilling your social and professional obligations as soon as possible. Your doubts will lessen as soon as you start crossing things off your list. You can indulge in the pursuit of pleasure once you are done.

Your Horoscopes for Friday, October 21st

The Moon in expressive Leo reflects our need to let others know how we feel. Unfortunately, we could come on stronger than we realize because the Moon’s midday hook-up with pushy Mars prompts us to fire up our creative process with a high level of urgency. We want immediate results, yet the Sun’s smooth trine with dreamy Neptune can blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, challenging us to be imaginative without losing touch with reality.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon-Mars conjunction heats up your 5th House of Fun and Games and encourages you to express your inner child. You’re eager to participate in enjoyable activities today, especially ones that allow you to display your emotional warmth to someone you love. Nevertheless, you may think that everything is perfect if you continue to avoid the truth. Your current state of grace won’t last forever, so face the facts while your creative powers are still strong.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your idealistic attitude at work today can gain you extra points from your boss. Although others might hold you in high regard now, they may not be able to see the real you. Don’t add to the confusion by diffusing your message with too many words because the more you talk, the greater your chances of contradicting yourself. Instead, let your actions speak for you to make the best impression.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although everything is busier today with the Moon and Mars joining in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, you still may be able to float through the day without feeling much stress. Your daydreams are so real now that, like Cinderella, you can turn a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage in your mind. Very little can get in your way, but your sense of perspective may be a bit warped. Don’t be afraid of your fantasies; just remember that they can influence your objectivity.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may actually believe that you have established equilibrium in your family life, but the hidden complexity can catch you off guard today. Your immediate reaction to an unexpected turn of events could be so intense that it’s more surprising than what actually happened. Think twice before allowing a rush of adrenaline to determine your future. Sit with any decisions you make now before acting on them in an impulsive burst of energy.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel as if your life is taking off now that the Moon conjuncts impetuous Mars in your 1st House of Self. Thankfully, your physical energy level is high, enabling you to pick up the pace of your walk, put an extra bounce into your words and appear happier than before. Just be careful not to lose perspective because ignoring the facts can stir up resistance from others. You can maintain a positive attitude without going overboard.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You often like to work behind the scenes, and today’s Moon-Mars conjunction in your 12th House of Secrets can push you even deeper into your inner world. Your reaction to someone’s evasive behavior can be so strong that you don’t even know how to put it into words. But bottled up feelings can have negative consequences, so fight against your current tendency to withdraw emotionally and let others know what you’re experiencing as gently as possible.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your fantasy life is more active than usual as the Sun in your artistic sign harmonizes with ethereal Neptune in your 5th House of Creativity. Although you can be productive if you put your mind to it, you’re more likely to pursue social activities today. Thankfully, relaxing with your friends can be very beneficial now, setting the stage for an efficient workday tomorrow when you can make up for lost time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This can be a powerfully productive day as the Moon joins superhero Mars in your 10th House of Career. You are at the top of your professional game and have abundant energy to apply yourself toward your job. Nevertheless, you still need to convince yourself that it’s okay to work for your own success, rather than only doing as you’re told. Make your dreams come true instead of just giving in to other people’s expectations.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Getting together with a group of coworkers or kicking back with a few friends might be the best thing you can do for yourself today. You may have big career plans but pushing toward your goals is frustrating if you don’t make as much progress as you want. However, it’s not wise to let go of your dreams, even if they take additional time to manifest. Ironically, easing off on the gas pedal now could be the catalyst that refuels your forward movement.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be very unrealistic about your potential at work because today’s Sun-Neptune trine emboldens you to believe nearly anything now. Although you’re able to see far beyond the present moment, it’s challenging to separate your fantasies from what’s real. If you have specific goals, make certain that you’re giving yourself enough time to deliver on your current promises. You won’t be happy if you just daydream about your future without taking concrete action.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be involved with others in ways that pull you into new territory as the Moon joins forceful Mars in your 7th House of Companions. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to know how assertive you need to be in order to get the ball rolling. On the other hand, you might choose to withdraw if someone else acts too aggressively. Ultimately, following your intuition is the best strategy. Pay attention to your dreams; they won’t steer you wrong now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may try to keep your feelings to yourself today, but it’s so easy to get caught up in office politics or sucked into someone else’s melodrama. Your sensitivity is high, so you are more sympathetic to others than you realize. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to be compassionate without losing your perspective. One way to maintain balance is to concentrate on your work now so there’s not much energy left over for wandering into uncertain emotional territory.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for October 21 – 23

by Jeff Jawer

Playful but Practical

October 21 – 23

Hearts open and heads swell with the Moon in self-important Leo on Friday. Confidence is likely to rise as we’re empowered by a belief in ourselves that encourages risk-taking in relationships. Dramatic gestures are par for Leo’s course, but even more so now because of the Sun’s harmonious alignment with mystical Neptune. This event casts a gauzy aura of mystery and magic over Friday night, which can be very entertaining but hardly representative of lasting reality. Attractions arise easily in this misty atmosphere where reason and common sense may be hard to find. But turning an initial interest into a lasting flame of love will require more than one romantic evening.

Saturday brings a more scrutinizing perspective with a lunar transit into pragmatic Virgo. This analytical Earth sign isn’t into vague promises, laziness and sloppy behavior. Romance and productivity go together in practical Virgo, making this a perfect time to tackle tasks with a willing partner. Developing skills is another positive way to make use of this lunar transit, so taking a class or seminar can be a good way to meet someone or infuse new interest in an ongoing relationship. Virgo’s critical eye, though, tends to spot the tiniest flaws but, obviously, obsessing about them is to be avoided.

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, October 21st

There are a couple of challenges today, but not as many as will appear in the coming days and once the Sun shifts into Scorpio on Sunday October 23. Consider today a kind of appetizer for the main course to be served during the next ten days to follow. A Mercury-Mars contra-parallel (12:51AM PDT) combines with the Moon in Leo uniting with the red planet Mars (1:13PM PDT) to definitely add several units to the volatility index. Psychic storm warnings are posted and need to be watched – especially on the emotional front. Fortunately, the Moon parallels ebullient Jupiter (5:10AM PDT) while Ceres makes an inspirational, productivity-enhancing, 72-degree link with Pluto (6:38AM PDT), and the Sun forms a revelatory, flowing trine in air signs with Neptune (4:58PM PDT). Thus, as a whole and hoping that the two Mars-oriented sky patterns remain carefully cloistered away in the shadows, you can make some well-needed progress across the board today. Even a Venus-Mars contra-parallel (4:28PM PDT) may be able to assist you in balancing your feminine and masculine sides more effectively. Enjoy a night of entertainment or invite friends over for an impromptu party.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 17th

Social activities are exciting and imaginative on Friday with the expressive Leo Moon heading toward an opposition with otherworldly Neptune. This is ideal for a romantic fantasy that can be a delightful escape from the ordinary. Reality sets in on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into practical Virgo which may also create wonderful opportunities to mix work and play.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Thursday and Friday could be rocking romantically with the dramatic Leo Moon hanging out in your 5th House of Love and Play. It is possible to let your imagination get the best of you, creating expectations that can be hard to fulfill. The rest of the weekend looks to be a bit more grounded, but there is a chance that you could enjoy desirable companionship while you are working out or doing chores.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Carefully planning your social calendar could pay off in delightful ways this weekend. The Moon enters well-prepared Virgo and your 5th House of Romance on Saturday, which increases your chances for getting the admiration you deserve. However, it helps if you’re flexible because being too picky can put a damper on your potential for having a good time. Know what you want, but be willing to make adjustments to be with the one you love.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your clever communication skills should come in handy with the bold Leo Moon in your chatty 3rd house on Thursday and Friday. You might meet someone in the course of your daily routine and a casual conversation could heat up and lead to something more intimate. The Moon’s shift into pragmatic Virgo on Saturday indicates you will need to find a way to combine work with pleasure if you want to have fun.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Spending a little money on yourself can boost your morale with the Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth on Thursday and Friday. A bit more confidence will help you behave more boldly and come on stronger in pursuit of who and what you want. If you end up going too far, the rest of the weekend is ideal for serious discussions where you can work out the details that can sometimes make relationships so complicated.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon in your enthusiastic sign on Thursday and Friday adds passion to your already strong personality. Attracting attention should be even easier now as your natural leadership qualities are put to work for everyone to see. The rest of the weekend is more suitable for quiet moments where you get to connect in private and intimate ways. Showing a more serious and responsible side of yourself is sexier than you think.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon enters Virgo on Saturday morning, bringing your emotions to the surface for the rest of the weekend. But instead of feeling overly vulnerable and exposed, this is a wonderful chance to connect with someone on a more personal level. Letting a person see your imperfections is not a turn off, but an invitation to get closer. You may find that being more generous with yourself encourages others to be more accepting of you.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Pals and coworkers can boost your personal life with the outgoing Leo Moon in your 11th House of Groups on Thursday and Friday. Meeting someone through an organization, as a member or volunteer, is also possible. You may want more privacy or just feel the need to escape from the crowd on Saturday and Sunday, as the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Behind-the-Scenes Activities is a signal to relax and avoid the spotlight.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The lively Leo Moon illuminates your 10th House of Responsibility on Thursday and Friday, which should gain you plenty of attention and admiration. Demonstrating your generosity and open-heartedness in a public situation could also pay off in your private life. Connecting with friends is a key to happiness on Saturday and Sunday with a lunar shift into your 11th House of Groups. Being a good team player can be a major plus to your romantic game.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Getting out of town, or at least skipping your regular routine, might be your key to happiness on Thursday and Friday. The Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Faraway Places kicks up the adventurous side of your personality. Being with people from different cultures is a great way to expand your social horizons. Duty calls on Saturday once the Moon slips into hardworking Virgo, but taking care of business can be a strong first step toward a heartfelt connection.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your willingness to open up your heart in a current relationship or when meeting someone new can have a powerfully positive effect on Thursday and Friday. The risk-taking Leo Moon is in your 8th House of Intimacy where it challenges you to take chances if you desire closer connections. If you feel like you’ve exposed too much, the lunar transit into logical Virgo on Saturday is ideal for cleaning up mistakes.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your relationship life gets a big boost when the extroverted Leo Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners on Thursday and Friday. Being more direct about your feelings is worth the risk of feeling a little embarrassed. When your heart is open, it invites others to get closer to you. A lunar shift into your 8th House of Intimacy on Saturday can reveal the work that’s needed to deepen a current union or to find a new one.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be too busy with work or worries to get your weekend activities started until Saturday when the Moon enters pragmatic Virgo and your 7th House of Relationships. An overly critical partner can be annoying, but he or she may bring up an issue worth addressing. Knowing what you want from others, though, is the key to upgrading your relationship life with the one you’re with or with someone new.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, October 12th

Today’s self-directed Aries Moon provokes us to initiate action, but mischievous Mercury’s fluid trine to otherworldly Neptune distracts us with dreamy thoughts. Even the simplest and most straightforward plan feels like a chore. Additionally, the Moon’s opposition to Mercury means we can argue about something that’s ultimately not very important. Thankfully, the Moon’s shift into practical Taurus at 9:34 pm EDT brings us back down to earth.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may convince yourself that everything is fine in a relationship today. Although you probably realize complicated issues need resolution, you prefer to avoid the facts so you don’t have to handle the current situation. It’s a gift to see potential in others that’s not yet manifested, but it’s not a good idea to substitute your dreams for the truth. Pay attention to what’s right in front of your nose before it’s too late.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Intense emotions are springing forth from your subconscious today, but they might make you so uncomfortable that you choose to bury them. You want less complexity in your life, but your desires can be rather complicated now. Even if you believe that you are clearly expressing your passion, your intentions still may be misunderstood. Don’t assume that someone else knows what you need. Be patient and take the time to confirm that your message has been accurately received.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Today is perfect for expressing your heart in an imaginative manner, but it might not be as good for getting a detailed message across as Mercury’s trine to illusory Neptune muddles your communication. Your daydreams can be sweet as long as you don’t think that your current thoughts are practical. Wait until mental clarity returns tomorrow before attempting to say something that has lasting significance.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might wish that you could stay home and lose yourself in creative projects today, but the Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility is not very forgiving. Nevertheless, you’re likely to spend time daydreaming about everything else you would rather be doing now. Unfortunately, fun and games may need to be postponed for a few days. Rather than fretting about what you cannot do, be thankful for what you can actually accomplish if you put your mind to it.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are lost in an idyllic dream about bringing a fantasy into reality as nebulous Neptune in your 7th House of Partners harmonizes with cerebral Mercury. However, once you open your eyes, your daily life may be overflowing with pressing responsibilities. Although you’re tempted to linger in your imagination, it would be unwise to avoid the current situation. Bringing your attention back to reality can make a positive difference when you need it most.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s hard to let go of your preconceived notions about what your day will bring, but it’s crucial to move beyond your fantasies and finish your chores. Reality is elusive now because your ruling planet Mercury is working under the influence of dreamy Neptune. Let the most important decisions slide until tomorrow. Once the fog clears and your clarity returns, you will be able to choose more wisely.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

On this last day of thoughtful Mercury in Libra, you are carefully weighing and balancing your choices. You realize that it’s important to finish up old business today, but you would rather enjoy yourself as Mercury activates dreamy Neptune in your 5th House of Fun and Games. The conflict between work and play might be aggravating, so seek out activities that calm you down. You can always catch up on your work tomorrow when you have a fresh perspective.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel trapped in a rut and are tempted to take a risk just to stir things up today. Unfortunately, changing your routine without a solid strategy could ultimately be more upsetting than exciting. Use your imagination to picture the ideal outcome and then create a plan to achieve your goals. Don’t try to do it all in one day; you’ll have a better chance tomorrow to fill in all the details.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are focused on fulfilling your obligations today, but could be lured off course by your friends or co-workers. Their big ideas sound enticing to you, but grandiose plans are not likely grounded in reality. Don’t believe everything you’re told now; if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Nevertheless, it won’t hurt to dream as long as you wait a couple of days before starting something new.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You normally don’t like feeling disoriented, and today’s ethereal Mercury-Neptune trine could prompt you to waste too much time trying to re-establish your footing. Unfortunately, stability is elusive now, but the uncertainty could be beneficial if you allow yourself to question your assumptions about your career goals. There’s no need to make any life-changing decision yet; answers will appear as early as tomorrow.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your dreams feel close enough to touch with idealistic Neptune in your sign harmonizing with trickster Mercury in your 9th House of Future Vision. But your ideas only seem sound until you actually try to make them tangible. Although it’s wise to listen to your intuition, it’s also crucial to rely on facts, not fantasies. Give yourself permission to meander through your imagination without any pressure. Floating in the symbolic realms today leads to more rational planning tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t have much of a chance to be very logical today as your key planet Neptune lures you into Fantasyland. Common sense isn’t your strong suit now, but you can play this to your advantage if you don’t try to force any practical decisions. Even if you must perform your regular job duties, there’s still time to drift off and contemplate the spiritual mysteries after your work is done.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 7th

The intelligent Aquarius Moon forms easy trines with realistic Saturn, clever Mercury and peaceful Venus, enabling us to think through problems in a practical manner. But the Moon’s late afternoon conjunction with nebulous Neptune and shift into psychic Pisces at 9:13 pm EDT soften the edges of our imaginations and allow our dreams to overflow into awareness. Additionally, our penchant for fantasy is encouraged by a sweet Venus-Neptune trine.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might feel as if you’re at a fork in the road, but a heavy mist is making it nearly impossible to see what’s ahead. Fortunately, you have a network of smart people in your life that are able to give you guidance. But you could place so much trust in others that you forget you are the only one who can decide which way to go. Listen respectfully to everyone’s advice and then make your choice based upon what you know without looking back.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your imagination is very active today as you head into unfamiliar territory. Your fantasies are quite tempting, although your fear of being irrational prevents you from acting too quickly. Remember, it’s not important that you respond right away. Avoid further complications by making sure that you are working with correct assumptions prior to moving ahead.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You would be wise to be cautious today rather than setting your sights on something that looks like fun. You could even head off in a new direction before you consider the results of your actions. Just remember that you may be seeing things as you wish them to be, rather than how they are now. Delay any major decisions until tomorrow after your clarity returns.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Being closer to someone you love sounds like a good idea, but today romantic thoughts are more complicated than usual. Even if you think that you know what you’re doing, everything could feel differently once you act on your desires. You might even change your mind if you are feeling too vulnerable. It’s sensible to move slowly now rather than just rushing ahead, because everything looks good from a distance.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your eagerness to trust a friend or partner could land you in a heap of trouble today. It isn’t that someone will give you bad advice or purposefully try to mislead you. It’s just that reality sounds better than it actually is. Keep in mind that your judgment might be slightly off and that more time is needed to regain a proper perspective.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Staying focused on your current chores may be nearly impossible today as a variety of opportunities drop into your life. However, you don’t have to respond immediately in order to take advantage of the situation. In fact, your patience will be rewarded, so slow down before you decide your next move. Be smart and finish your previous tasks prior to starting anything new.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may think that you can see the big picture clearly today and you have everyone’s best interests in mind. But you could be viewing the future through such a rose-colored lens that you miss something important. Your positive attitude might be more like blind optimism unless you decide to also examine the darker side of your feelings. Don’t be afraid of a little self-doubt because it can reveal a perspective that shows the truth.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sometimes you have to jump in to an experience passionately without holding back in order to feel everything. However, creating boundaries between your inner and outer worlds is vital to your personal development. Taking time for a spiritual retreat can be helpful now. Balancing your social responsibilities with your desire to escape will help you move through the day without stirring up resentment from those closest to you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s challenging to make the time to respond to all your emails and phone calls today. But your inability to fit all your work into one day is not your primary problem. The real dilemma comes from your current belief that you can do anything you imagine. However, your reasoning is based on fantasy now instead of reality. Don’t agree to take on one more project until you realistically reconsider your workload.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have an unreasonable idea about what you can accomplish now. Aspiring to lofty goals is admirable if it motivates you to push yourself harder. But this isn’t such a good idea if your destination is unrealistic. Rather than setting yourself up for failure with your inflated ambitions, try to ground your visions in a more practical manner.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could be overly cavalier in your ability to make everything turn out fine today. However, your confidence can lead to exhaustion, especially if you cannot deliver what you previously promised. Strive for objectivity as you make your plans for the future, since working too hard will surely take the fun out of the days ahead.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Relationship issues are tricky today as confusing Neptune and the empathetic Pisces Moon trine vulnerable Venus in your 8th House of Intimacy. But redemption won’t come from projecting your fears or worries onto others. Instead, rely on your inner strength to remind you that you already know the truth and can proceed with what you must do.

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

Making Magic

October 7 – 9

The Moon sloshes into watery Pisces on Friday to encourage us to escape from reality. This sensitive and imaginative sign is tender, creative and more about making magic that lifts the heart than sticking with ordinary logic. Pisces is the dreamer, inviting us to forgive and forget so that we can enter a divine world where the boundaries between us are dissolved.

This weekend has an extra dose of romantic potential as loving Venus forms a harmonious angle with Pisces’ ruling planet Neptune on Friday, initiating a period when we can raise ourselves above the daily noise to tap into higher aspects of feeling and intuition. Music can be especially appealing as it takes us to places our bodies don’t ordinarily go. Art is also inspirational and can connect us with the divine. This is what we’re searching for now: a way to merge the physical with the spiritual. Breaking free of the usual habits and simply letting ourselves float freely can create a sublime sense of joy. Pisces isn’t about being possessive or making big plans for the future. It’s about enjoying the delight of releasing stress and falling into comfortable places where criticism is replaced by compassion and ambition by acceptance.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 6th

We may be quite serious today with cerebral Mercury joining somber Saturn, reminding us to think twice about sharing what’s on our minds. It may even seem as if our thoughts are flowing along in slow motion. Nevertheless, we may find time to daydream anyhow as the Sun stressfully aligns with imaginative Neptune. Meanwhile, the futuristic Aquarius Moon encourages us to look ahead while the Mercury-Saturn conjunction reins our ideas back in.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling pretty good about yourself today, especially if you aren’t trying to accomplish too much. However, your unwillingness to acknowledge the limitations of your schedule could prompt someone to rain on your parade. Hitting the wall of resistance isn’t much fun but once you accept the circumstances that are beyond your control, you should be able to make the necessary adjustments to your plans.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your fantasies can be quite enjoyable today, and as long as you don’t lose track of reality everything should flow smoothly. Unfortunately, you have work-related obligations to attend to that could stand between you and your pursuit of pleasure. Don’t try to avoid your responsibilities; address them first. If you work hard now you should be able to play hard later.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be more interested in your future now than you are in what’s happening today. However, your attachment to the possibilities ahead may be less about sensible planning than an attempt to escape from your current commitments. Unfortunately, there’s too much chaos in the present moment for you to pretend that everything’s under control. If you don’t take care of the immediate issues right away, they will grow into even more of a problem.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might not feel at ease in your own home today, but ironically are more comfortable when you head out into the world. A family member or someone close to you may tell you what’s on his or her mind, and it might not be good news. It’s advisable for you to put on your rhino skin because your feelings could be hurt if you don’t take self-protective precautions. Don’t wallow in self-doubt; if nothing else, dream yourself out of the temporary malaise.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are able to balance your intuition with common sense today, suggesting progress on many fronts. But you could miss the point if you become so spiritually inclined that you lose your bearings. Observe your reactions before you respond or your fears and attachments could prompt unavoidable negative consequences. If you can keep one foot on the ground, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to make real positive change.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may run into unexpected delays as your key planet Mercury conjuncts karmic Saturn. You won’t likely get what you want unless you’re willing to work for it. On the other hand, you’ll surely be disappointed if you don’t give it your all. Today’s lesson points out that achieving your goal isn’t the only reward. Showing up and playing the game passionately, whether you win or lose, is where you can find the most joy.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can easily work yourself into a funk today as you worry more and more about your future. Ironically, you might not be able to explain your free-floating anxiety because there aren’t sufficient real life circumstances to justify your concerns. Ultimately, your future is up to you, so aim high and don’t let yourself be distracted by self-doubt.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are often the one who can broach a difficult topic for discussion, but sometimes playing this role is exhausting. Your unwillingness to talk about something that no one else wants to acknowledge is reinforced by today’s critical Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your 12th House of Secrets. Fortunately, your resistance will pass. Ultimately, there aren’t many topics of discussion that are too sensitive or challenging for you, so tackle the unresolved issue once you are back in the mood.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel stifled by your friends and co-workers as a naysaying Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your 11th House of Community can bring critical words from an ally. Unfortunately, your desire for change makes it more difficult to manage your response to the current feedback. Although you might not embrace the concept of patience, it is probably your best strategy. For now, err on the side of caution.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have something important to say today, and you’re going to say it even if it’s politically incorrect as your key planet Saturn is activated by loquacious Mercury. But how you deliver your words may be nearly as important as the actual content of your message. Minimize any negative consequences by considering other people’s feelings and being as compassionate as possible.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you’ve been planning on taking a trip, today’s reality check may cause you to think again. Although you thought that you would be able to escape, your optimism fades, leaving you with a pile of reasons that makes discretionary travel difficult. But don’t get discouraged because a fresh wave of hope arrives later in the day as new dreams begin to replace the old ones that didn’t come true.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re willing to accept the limitations placed on you by your work schedule today. Instead of fighting back or negotiating for additional freedom, you may be slightly relieved that others know what you’re doing. But this isn’t exactly a peaceful, easy feeling because you realize how much is being asked of you. Nevertheless, your concentrated effort should pay off and you’ll soon be floating in dreams about a kinder and gentler tomorrow.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 23 – 25

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Explore Your Imagination

September 23 – 25

Bold behavior and big-hearted generosity can make Friday a fine time for lovers of all kinds, including those looking for a new companion. The mood-setting Moon is in audacious Leo, where the risks of romance are especially tempting. It’s a playful time with plenty of fun and affection available if we don’t take ourselves too seriously. The shadow side of the sign of the Lion includes excessive pride and an unwillingness to share the spotlight. But when we’re ready to give without worrying about the cost, we get even more back in return.

There’s a flair for the dramatic and a keen interest in experimenting with unusual kinds of activities on Friday when active Mars, also in courageous Leo, aligns in a high-energy trine with thrill-seeking Uranus. The Moon’s sweet connection with amorous Venus on Friday afternoon adds even more opportunities for memorable moments. Saturday night starts out with a high level of imagination thanks to a lunar opposition to mystical Neptune. This magical connection with the planet of dreams can stoke the fires of hope so high that we’re tempted to see others as we want them to be, not as they really are. Yet if we happen to lose the reigns of reality for a little while, the consequences of living in the material world will quickly beckon us to return.

The Moon’s entry into responsible Virgo late on Saturday evening brings us back from fantasyland in a hurry. Although we may attempt to vanquish our illusions with practical thinking and a long list of chores, a hopeful Moon-Jupiter trine on Sunday is a reminder that romance and reality can beautifully co-exist.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, September 17th

We long for a bit of peace today, but the simplistic Taurus Moon isn’t enough to resolve the cosmic tension that is currently pulling on us. Friendly Venus in relationship-oriented Libra opposes irrepressible Uranus in impulsive Aries, encouraging wild behavior that can appear reckless even if it’s fun. But we may be confused about what to do and what to say because assertive Mars forms stressful aspects with talkative Mercury and foggy Neptune.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You know what you agreed to do today, but you have a twinkle in your eye and may not be able to resist creating a bit of mischief, instead. You’re eager to take a risk and break out of your regular routine, even if you know it’s not the smartest course of action. Although your judgment isn’t very clear now, you still might try to justify your behavior. Ask someone you trust for another perspective before doing something you regret.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ruling planet Venus opposes electric Uranus today, wiring you for pleasure. But your intense desires can create an emotional short circuit when you realize that satisfaction is just out of reach. Your daydreams may be unrealistic, but it really doesn’t matter if you make your fantasy real or not. What’s important now is to give yourself permission to imagine what would bring you happiness if anything was possible.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might try to float through the day on a cloud of illusions, but an unexpected turn of events can shock you out of your dream state. Even if you’re able to field a curve ball at work or at home, you still might miss the significance of what is happening. Although you may be surprised by what happens, take the time to contemplate what the cosmos is attempting to tell you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although someone’s reaction to your request may not be what you expect, you should be able to take it in stride. You might be concerned at first because you don’t particularly like confronting the unknown, but even if you’re caught off guard today, you’re relieved to know the truth. Don’t let subconscious motivations trick you into pushing away the new information; integrate what you learn and change your plans before moving on.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be very excited about someone or something new in your life now, but you have a sneaking suspicion that your high level of interest won’t last. You may be cautious about letting go and enjoying yourself because it’s obvious that your sense of freedom will quickly run into limiting circumstances. Change is inevitable, but worrying about future responsibilities doesn’t need to interfere with today’s pleasures.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be put off by someone’s selfish behavior today and you could even be offended by other people’s lack of compassion. Unfortunately, you won’t likely be able to understand their actions because logic is not the motivating factor now. Unexplainable changes are to be expected if tension is stressing a relationship. Don’t overanalyze things; just respond with kindness and honesty. The storm will pass quickly if you remain flexible in your thinking.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is visiting your 1st House of Self and her opposition to radical Uranus in your 7th House of Relationships can awaken previously hidden desires or uncover something about your partner that you didn’t know. Instead of waiting for a friend to shock you with an unexpected revelation, take the initiative and be an agent of change. You will be happier now if you embrace the shift instead of resisting it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might wish that you could release your old expectations and express your feelings today as unconventional Uranus in your 5th House of Romance opposes loving Venus. But you may not know what you want; your emotions are slippery now, making it tough to choose a direct course of action. Nevertheless, you have a perfect opportunity to learn something important about yourself if you’re willing to relinquish control and go with the flow.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you wish a friend or partner would make a straightforward decision today, clarity may continue to be elusive. You won’t likely receive a yes or no answer now, requiring you to be satisfied with someone’s uncertainty. Don’t push for resolution because it may take time for the facts to emerge. It’s possible that other people’s ambivalence might be a reflection of your own, even though you believe that you have already made your choice.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could mistakenly believe that the solution to your current dilemma is in having all the facts, prompting you to gather as much useful information as you can. Unfortunately, you are not very cautious now, so you could jump to an incorrect conclusion that’s based on your desires instead of what is practical. Be smart and postpone any major decision until your energy settles down; your path should begin to clear in a few days.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desire for an emotional connection pulls you one way while your need for independence pulls another as your key planet Uranus stands off in a tense tug-of-war with sensual Venus. You may wish for more intimacy in your everyday life, but might keep others at a distance if you’re afraid of losing autonomy. Fortunately, a sudden breakthrough in your awareness can open your heart and change the dynamics of a relationship. Set aside practicalities and be flexible enough to respond to the magic of the moment.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be weary of the tension you feel in a close relationship if your perspective is challenged again today. You don’t like the idea of arguing with your partner; nor do you want to waste energy justifying your desires. Your needs are simple; you just want your heartfelt expression to be heard and acknowledged. This isn’t a time for ultimatums; just let others know what you need in a gentle manner and remain patient while waiting to see the results. The dynamics are shifting quickly and you just may receive what you want.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Sept. 16th

Today’s sensible Taurus Moon and Virgo Sun help us reduce the extraneous noise so we can consider what is most important to our survival and happiness. The Moon’s early-morning trine to Pluto in solid Capricorn strengthens our resolve to simplify our lives while her hook-up with jovial Jupiter encourages us to enjoy ourselves. Nevertheless, we can still sense a rising tide of excitement as we approach tomorrow’s electric Venus-Uranus opposition.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are so enthusiastic about all the possibilities today that it’s difficult to settle down. You might not notice the tension that’s building because a Mars-Neptune alignment is preventing you from seeing how the current circumstances will unfold. Nevertheless, the earthy Taurus Moon helps to filter out some of the unreliable information now, so it’s still safe to trust your senses in the immediate moment without trying to figure out what may happen next.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s visit to your bucolic sign normally helps you find the solace you seek. However, you may grow bored today and start thinking about different ways to add excitement into your life. But be careful, for once you open the floodgates, you might wish for the calmer times you left behind. Instead of destabilizing your life, just change your attitude. You don’t have to turn everything upside down to make your day a success.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be craving a little action and are eager to party even before you complete your work. However, you cannot just go off and play. If you’re frustrated, your annoyance might grow into resentment and stand in the way of your fun later on. Stop wasting your time; meet your obligations expediently, so you can have yourself a great time once everything’s done.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You probably realize how amazing your friends are now, especially those who stand up to defend you or rush to your side when you need their help. Ironically, they may not think that their behavior is out of the ordinary — and that’s what makes it so special. There’s no reason to turn your appreciation into too big of a deal today as long as you make certain that those you cherish know how much you appreciate them.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know exactly what you should be doing today, but your heart isn’t into it. You are bored with someone else’s agenda and don’t want to chase a pot of gold that isn’t at the end of your own rainbow. It’s healthy to focus on your personal goals now rather than anyone else’s. Just be sure that your heightened practicality doesn’t stand between you and an otherwise delightful time.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have an exciting vision about your future today without necessarily being too impractical about it. Although you can imagine an extraordinary outcome to your current situation, it’s not beyond your reach. Just be careful about stepping over the fine line between possibilities and fantasies. Believing in the impossible will help you stretch beyond your normal limits, but reaching your destination will still take advanced planning and hard work.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re tired of being patient because you know exactly what you want and see no logical reason to wait any longer before initiating action. Your sense of urgency may be fueled by someone who seems to be even more impulsive than you are today. Still, there’s something that’s holding you back. Don’t overanalyze your feelings. Just listen to your intuition; if you think that postponing your move makes sense, then that is exactly what you should do.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone may be enticing you to take a risk, but you’re not quite ready to jump. Still, the support you receive feels good and it does make you consider reaching for the stars. You are tempted to reveal your current negativity, yet doing so could jeopardize what you have already created. Of course you are free to respond however you see fit, but minimizing your concerns could ameliorate the tension, at least for now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s tempting to lower your expectations now so your co-workers don’t disappoint you with their lack of reliability. But you won’t likely reach your goals if you let someone off the hook too easily, so adopting a relaxed approach isn’t a smart tactic for long. Keep your aim high, remind others of their commitments and you won’t fall short of your target.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be a bit scattered at work today because you’re thinking of everything else you would rather be doing. But if your current activities aren’t bringing you pleasure, your thoughts could fly all over the place as you attempt to find your groove. Instead of trying to make progress on every front, just pick one and focus all of your attention on it. Limit your options now so you can expand your future possibilities later.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You wish you could be irresponsible today and avoid following through on your previous promises. You might make a judgment error that leads you to think that you’re more effective motivating others now rather than just meeting your obligations. In truth, the best leadership skill you could apply now is setting an example for everyone to follow. Don’t talk about what needs to happen; just do it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t want to admit that you’re feeling hopelessly optimistic today because you think it will reveal too much vulnerability on your part. However, you probably do believe that better times are just around the next corner. Meanwhile, your personal life may suffer because you are focusing on the future instead of dealing with an issue in the present. Bringing your attention back to the here and now might be challenging at first, but will make you happier in the long run.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 18th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Expect the Unexpected

September 16 – 18

The Moon’s presence in sensual Taurus is a signal to slow down and smell the roses this weekend. Enjoying the sweet pleasures of life with touch, scents, sounds and sights creates a lovely baseline of enjoyment that’s available with or without a partner. Taurus the Bull, though, can sometimes be stubborn and even a little cheap. But a lunar conjunction with indulgent Jupiter on Friday morning blesses us with a major dose of generosity and optimism. The easy way in which we can express our feelings is another source of delight inspired by the Moon’s cozy connection with brainy Mercury later in the day.

Sociable Venus faces unpredictable Uranus very early on Saturday morning, manifesting erratic behavior, romantic surprises and strange attractions throughout the weekend. Whatever ripples of weirdness roll through relationships should be smoothed over with a cooperative Sun-Moon trine on Saturday afternoon. However, late that night the foggy mists of Neptune overtake rational thought and reality with imagination and escapism. A lunar square to this dreamy planet dissolves remnants of reason with the intoxicating effects of romance, fantasy and/or alcohol and drugs. A vacation from reality can be delicious if long-term decisions are not based on a few hours of ecstasy.

The tone switches radically on Sunday with a lunar entry into airy Gemini serving up plenty of distractions. Yet in the midst of these breezy moments flirty Venus aligns in a harsh square with controlling Pluto, whipping up winds of secrecy or jealousy. Honestly addressing the darker issues of desire, power and trust is one of the healthiest ways to make the most of this cosmic energy.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Sept. 10th

We need to talk about old hurts and pains today as Mercury the Messenger tensely opposes Chiron the Wounded Healer. Sharing memories can be cathartic but may also add stress to a current situation. Meanwhile, the quirky Aquarius Moon hooks up with confusing Neptune, making it hard to know what’s true. Thankfully, the Moon enters imaginative Pisces at 3:26 pm EDT, putting a kinder and gentler spin on a day that may start out on the rough side.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be stymied today because you want to share what you’re feeling, but the current circumstances may require you to wait. Logically, you can understand why it’s wise to keep your emotions to yourself, yet you are tempted to bend the rules and say more than is necessary. Remember, it’s probably better for everyone involved if you don’t act impulsively at this time.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t prepared to say exactly what you are feeling today because you don’t want to add to the current drama. However, you’re still eager to demonstrate your love and are able to do so in a manner that won’t make anyone uncomfortable. Of course, taking a risk by telling someone about your heart’s desires can be rather scary, so don’t reveal too much too fast.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have plenty of words right at the tip of your tongue today, even if you’re talking about tender feelings that you don’t normally share. A combination of circumstances enables you to be secure now, so you are more willing than usual to take an emotional risk. Don’t waste too much time worrying about how others will respond. A discussion should unfold naturally as long as you’re not too dramatic in your delivery.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may want to step out of the spotlight today, but chances are you will still receive your fair share of love and admiration, anyway. But trying to hide is just one way to waste precious energy. Push beyond any embarrassment you feel about being the center of attention and graciously accept the positive vibrations that now come your way.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Creating emotional boundaries today gives you a safe place to retreat from the big world. Normally, you’re eager to put your feelings on the line, without even giving it a second thought. However, your emotions are raw now, and you’re not in the mood to share them with everyone. Keep in mind that you don’t need to justify your actions; it is always within your power to choose whether or not to talk about your inner process.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is keeping you busy analyzing your insecurities, but your logic can run into walls today as wounded Chiron enters the picture. However, your emotions may be integrated into your overall game plan now. Your friends are likely to respond warmly if you share what’s on your mind, but they may be reflecting your current eagerness for affection. Make the most of the positive Venus-Mars aspect by connecting with friends and family, but don’t expect too much in return.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may try to avoid being in the public eye today, yet the rewards from your previous work could follow you around and turn the spotlight on you anyway. Even if you’re being recognized and appreciated, you would be more comfortable if everyone was receiving acknowledgment and not just you. But rather than diverting the attention back on others, just say thank you while proudly enjoying the moment.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t in the mood to be the one who puts everything together today. Instead, you want to be pleasantly surprised when you discover that someone special has a dinner or a whole weekend planned especially for you. Although you crave adventure, romance and fun, spending your time waiting for the magic to happen isn’t a viable strategy. Don’t minimize your current choices; take responsibility for your half of the deal.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Feelings of discomfort or anxiety can catch you off guard today if your emotions become more intense than usual. Energetic Mars is in timid Cancer and your 8th House of Intimacy, preventing you from sharing your romantic insecurities. Don’t get hooked into believing that someone is going to rush in and sweep you off your feet. A healthy dose of realism can prevent your day from turning into a major disappointment.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have a friend or lover who is so shy that he or she won’t let you know what’s going on today. Don’t make any assumptions about how much others like you, for you might miscalculate your popularity now. Luckily, romantic Venus in your 7th House of Relationships is setting a sweet and sensual tone for the weekend. Go ahead, make the first move and see what happens.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are on edge now as your natural high-frequency energy is impeded by inconvenient feelings that are rising to the surface. Although sidestepping your emotions isn’t always a good idea, remaining rational makes more sense today so you can focus on practical issues. Anything that draws your mind to the present moment can also act as a shield against someone else’s drama.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Flirty Venus and sexy Mars are quite active today in your 5th House of Romance and your 7th House of Partners, increasing your desire to spend special time with someone you love. However, don’t increase the complexity by dreaming and scheming for the future. Instead, live as joyfully as you can in the here and now.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Sept. 9th

We gain clarity today as interactive Mercury separates from yesterday’s opposition to confusing Neptune. Additionally, the winged messenger enters precision-oriented Virgo, narrowing our focus and giving us the ability to concentrate on specific tasks that require attention to detail. Mercury’s anxious semisquare to stern Saturn demands that we work harder to achieve perfection. Meanwhile, the innovative Aquarius Moon also encourages originality.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t really need to be acknowledged by others today as long as you feel that your life is moving along in the right direction. The Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Long-Term Goals takes your mind off your immediate responsibilities and focuses your thinking on a larger perspective. Don’t hide your dreams, even if they distract you from accomplishing practical tasks in the real world.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It may seem like the start of your workweek rather than the beginning of a weekend because the Moon is in your 10th House of Career, reminding you to concentrate on your professional development. Fortunately, the assistance of three planets in hardworking Virgo enables you to do your job well. But don’t get lazy; wasting the chance to accomplish something important today could bring regret tomorrow.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It feels as if your head is finally coming out of a fogbank as the clouds dissipate today, allowing you to see the distant horizon. This is a day of reconnecting with your life purpose since your wide-angle vision allows you to gain more perspective. Don’t be afraid to choose your new direction now, even if you don’t think that it’s a final decision. You are closer to the truth than you think.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s presence in emotionally distant Aquarius and your 8th House of Intimate Relationships confronts you with a peculiar problem. You want the security of deep and long-lasting love, yet your aversion to change can pull you back inside your protective shell. You don’t have to alter your approach; just stay aware of the temptation to withdraw from a discussion when emotions heat up and things get intense.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your 7th House of Companions shifts your focus from personal development and onto the people closest to you. You truly want to be present for a friend who needs you today, but you may resent someone who won’t assist you with the same level of commitment that you show for others. It’s useless to compare yourself to anyone else; don’t jump in to help unless it comes straight from your heart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have very specific obligations that you must fulfill and the best way to approach them now is one tiny step at a time. The community-minded Aquarius Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Details makes it absolutely necessary for you to think globally while acting locally. Even if your thoughts are on the big picture, it’s the little things you do that will have the greatest impact at this time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your emotions are more in line with the events in your life now that the Moon is in rational Aquarius, a fellow Air sign. Even if you don’t feel very enthusiastic, your innocent creativity can turn a boring job into something more enjoyable. But don’t get so distracted by having fun that you forget your obligations. Finish up your current tasks so you are ready to start a new project in the next few days.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be able to explain what you’re feeling today because there aren’t words to describe your current experiences. It’s as if the veil between worlds is thinner now and you are receiving impressions that are not based upon your present reality. Fortunately, there’s no need to share your spiritual realizations with anyone else; just bask in your rich inner experience and let it strengthen your conviction in the magical mysteries of the universe.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel very social today, even if most of your interactions occur in the workplace. Talkative Mercury, now in your 10th House of Career, tempts you to spend too much time at the water cooler rather than actually working. Fortunately, you are a consummate team player now and will excel at whatever you do because you naturally play well with others.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are thinking about all the possibilities ahead with Mercury in analytical Virgo traveling through your 9th House of Big Ideas. Although your best plans can turn into real moneymakers, it could take a while to see the concrete results you want now. Don’t try to force an issue today because everything will successfully unfold according to its true internal rhythm if you just show up consistently and give it your all.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s visit to independent Aquarius reminds you that you can’t always match up to other people’s expectations. You want to be a part of your community and a vital player on the team, but you also need to establish your own individuality. Don’t worry; you can still be a non-conformist, even while working toward goals that are mutually beneficial.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your feelings aren’t fully integrated with your current experiences, yet that doesn’t make your reactions any less intense. Others can easily misunderstand you today, motivating you to keep your inner world private. You can always clarify things later, but for now you don’t need to say anything about your dreams. If possible, take some time to process your emotions on your own.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 9th – 11th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Enter a World of Dreams

September 9 – 11

Our minds are likely to push feelings into the background on Friday, favoring conceptual conversations and intellectual pursuits over sappy sentiment and unnecessary drama. The Moon is in cool-as-a-cucumber Aquarius where we don’t want to be emotionally crowded and require a certain amount of personal space. The Water Bearer is a friendly sign that appears open and accessible to almost everyone, yet has a strong independent streak as well. Cerebral Mercury’s entry into discerning Virgo very early on Friday is another indicator that heads rule over hearts now.

The theme is very different on Saturday, even while the Moon is still visiting air-conditioned Aquarius. A lunar conjunction with magical Neptune can melt away objectivity and entice us to enter a world of dreams. Escapes into fantasylands of imagination can inspire lovers or mislead them with misplaced expectations. The Moon enters soulful Pisces in the middle of day, dissolving the last edges of repressive reason as boundaries and barriers between people gently give way. A kind of cosmic connection becomes possible as agendas are set aside to discover moments of bliss that can arise without effort. Tread carefully; emotional openness may lead some into misinterpreting mere kindness as romantic interest.

Fortunately, astrology’s most amorous planetary pair, Venus and Mars, hook up in a sexy sextile on Saturday night, creating the perfect environment for a playful time. It’s easy to dance with the one you’re with or to approach someone new for a pleasant interaction without pressure. A gentle afterglow lingers with the Pisces Moon on Sunday to encourage more unconditional sharing. The lines between physical and spiritual attraction may be blurred, but living joyfully in the moment, without expectations, makes it safe to be uncertain.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, Sept. 8th

The Moon’s shift into intelligent Aquarius at 5:42 am EDT stimulates our nervous systems and increases the frequency of our thoughts. Although the airy Aquarius Moon reflects our need to find concepts that encompass our current experiences, it may be difficult to think clearly today as mental Mercury tensely opposes imaginative Neptune. Mixing the facts with fantasies may be entertaining, but can lead to big trouble if we’re not careful.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You often push boundaries without even realizing it when you get excited about something new. However, today’s enthusiasm might be more about what you say than what you do with talkative Mercury in the spotlight. The problem is that you may not be on target with your idea, even though you think it’s a good one. Don’t be so cocky that you make incorrect assumptions. Be patient, review your plans one more time and proceed slowly.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your career goals may seem more tangible than they actually are with the most unrealistic ones right at the tips of your outreached fingers. On the plus side, you can believe an impossible dream is so real that your legendary persistence makes it so. But on the other hand, it’s easy to become complacent by convincing yourself that you’re close to your destination when you’re not. Use your common sense before wasting any more energy pursuing a pipe dream.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Higher Education prompts you to reconsider an old plan you had to return to school. Remember, it’s wiser to study a subject that expands your mind and widens your perspective beyond your old way of seeing things. But make sure that you don’t jump to conclusions or even something as simple as a weekend getaway can turn into a comedy of errors. There’s no rush to make a final decision, so give your ideas enough time to develop before doing anything rash.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s a lot safer to keep your unexpressed emotional desires to yourself now, for your surprising intensity can be unsettling to someone else. Unfortunately, you still must take a chance if you want to experience new levels of intimacy with someone that you trust. Revealing your vulnerability is not without its danger; thankfully, the benefits now outweigh the risks.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be afraid that something magical could slip through your fingers today, but no amount of logic can help you figure out a sensible strategy to stabilize your position. Attempts to understand a relationship that eludes comprehension can be quite frustrating. An approach based upon analysis will only bring you back around to the same old dissatisfaction that you’re trying to escape. Let go of your desire to discover any truth other than what’s already in your heart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have an opportunity to impact your physical well-being now by simply changing your attitude. The Moon’s current visit to innovative Aquarius and your 6th House of Health helps you focus your energy toward self-improvement. The powerful effect that positive thinking can have on your life today should not be underestimated. In fact, it just may be the key to a happier and healthier you.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could easily fall in love today, with the Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance, yet ironically, your feelings may not have much to do with the people in your life. You are more open to the possibility of romance, whether or not you’re willing to express your desires. Since a current infatuation could be the result of your daydreams, you really don’t require anyone to act out your fantasy. If no one’s there, just go ahead and enjoy the fruits of your imagination.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You think you know how a domestic situation is going to play out over the next few months, especially if you have recently been re-evaluating your long-term goals. However, it’s challenging to know what to do because your future still seems like a fantasy and the details of how it will unfold are elusive. Don’t try to make up your mind now; instead, give yourself permission to dream without attempting to make anything real yet.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Communicating your plans can be frustrating today if you want others to become involved in your project. You may have a lot of information at your disposal, but most of your current data probably lacks substance. Normally you’re quite comfortable floating in the realm of abstract ideas because you’re a natural philosopher. However, your need to reach a concrete goal now is in conflict with your dreamier thoughts. Nevertheless, making a commitment to something specific will have positive consequences.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your ego can get blown out of proportion today as others motivate you to reach for your dreams. Obviously, self-confidence is useful, but too much optimism can annoy those who might otherwise be your allies. Moderating your grandiose thinking with modesty can be a wise strategy. A healthy perspective on life can make all the difference between your success and failure.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to review your recent commitments and reconsider what you can actually deliver today, for you might have promised others too much. You didn’t intend to mislead anyone; everything is just taking longer now than you expected. You may be tempted to quit, but overreacting isn’t a good idea. Take a few deep breaths, re-evaluate what is possible and let others know what they can expect from you at this time.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It may be an uphill battle to control your dreams today because they are overflowing out of your sleep and right into your waking life. Obviously, this can be quite confusing if you attempt to rationalize your feelings when your emotions are being fed by unconscious urges. If you’re unsure about what to do, step back a bit until your path becomes clear. A temporary retreat is a better strategy than making believe that you can tell what’s real.
