Daily Horoscopes for September 5

We are inclined to ignore the facts today as the optimistic Sagittarius Moon lifts our spirits and encourages us to believe that anything is possible. Although there may be real limits to the power of positive thought, the Moon’s smooth trine to clever Mercury in dramatic Leo empowers us to motivate others with the strength of our convictions. Nevertheless, we are brought back to reality when the Moon enters sensible Capricorn at 10:03 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your overconfidence can create problems today, unless you scale back your ambitions a bit. Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell where to draw the line between reality and fantasy, making your decisions even more difficult. Widening your spiritual horizons is easy now; maintaining a solid connection with the mundane world at the same time is more difficult, yet also worth the effort.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your current fascination with philosophy tempts you to believe that you have discovered the meaning of life. Unfortunately, others might see things differently today, believing that you are evading the important issues by using big words and talking about complex ideas that are removed from what’s actually happening. Although your search for truth may appear cavalier, there’s no need to change anything now as long as you’re respectful to the reactions of those around you.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Thankfully, the pace of life may be a bit slower today, but you still wish that things would return to normal. Still, you have a chance to review your recent experiences and think about what to do next. Just remember that there is a magnifying lens between you and your world now, making everything appear bigger, better or more important than it truly is. Giving yourself a reality check is healthier than waiting for someone else to do it for you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today your false sense of optimism may have you believing that anything you can imagine will come true. Although your positive attitude might be sufficient to tip the scales in your favor, there are other things that should be considered, too. It’s not necessary to give up as long as you’re willing to face the current difficulties. Fortunately, it will be easier to overcome any obstacles in your path once you first acknowledge them.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be at the top of your game now, yet still may be insecure about a close relationship because you’re not seeing the situation in its true light. The truth is that your self-image could suffer if you spend too much time analyzing what’s going on. You’re probably more creative and refined than you realize now. Change your attitude by deciding to project yourself into the future instead of looking back into the past.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your innate tendency to be discriminating is always useful, but now it can turn into an obsession and get in the way of your happiness. You may grow uncomfortable with your current starry-eyed visions and decide to rein in your fantasies. Unfortunately, you could pull back so far that your caution causes you to miss out on a lovely opportunity. You don’t need to lower your standards as long as you remain open to starting small and growing from there.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may have unresolved issues that linger from a recent emotional meltdown. Although your feelings probably won’t be put to rest, you have a chance to raise your game to a higher level now. Instead of struggling for dominance or survival, shift your focus to more spiritual concerns. The real magic isn’t in the physical world today. You will be able to let go of unnecessary resentment if you act with compassion instead of fear.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might want to establish new financial goals now that the Moon is visiting your 2nd House of Wealth. However, there is a deep connection between your self-esteem and your net worth. Obviously, there are many practical things you can do to augment your income and increase your assets, but today an attitude change might be more important than anything else. If you value yourself, it will be easier in the long run for others to invest in you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s not easy to keep your feelings secret now because they’re obvious to others, even if you don’t express them directly. The moody Moon is visiting your 1st House of Personality and she has her own language that bypasses words and social pleasantries. Nevertheless, it’s unwise to assume that others know what’s going on for you unless you actually take the time to specifically tell them. Confiding in someone you trust will make you feel instantly better.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Privacy raises conflicts between your need to be constantly in the world doing your thing and your current desire to isolate yourself so you can work in solitude. Neither extreme is an acceptable course of action now, even if you think that you must choose one way or the other today. Change the rules of the game by imagining a scenario where you can be in the spotlight when necessary, yet are still able to escape when you need to be alone.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re motivated by your dreams now that the adventurous Sagittarius Moon is in your 11th House of Future Goals. Unfortunately, you might not have enough common sense to know which of your ideas are good enough to follow and which should be set aside. Luckily, you don’t have to decide today; just allow your thoughts to take you on a fascinating ride without being bound to any single outcome.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 10th House of Career encourages you to make big plans to fulfill your professional ambitions. Although you may feel as if you’re sitting on top of the world — or, at least have a clear path to the mountain’s summit — others may not see your success in the same way. Don’t be discouraged by the doubters and naysayers; go ahead and reach for the stars. Just remember to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground at the same time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Sept. 3rd

Although the emotionally charged Scorpio Moon continues to bring transformation into our lives today, we can lose focus when she squares nebulous Neptune. Thankfully, seeing the brighter side of a situation can turn a tense set of circumstances into one where everyone emerges a winner. The Moon’s entry into adventurous Sagittarius at 5:03 pm EDT encourages us to take risks and her trine to wild Uranus foretells memorable experiences.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

What you say today has more impact than usual so remember to choose your words very carefully. Instead of impulsively blabbering away about whatever comes to mind, consider what you want before you speak. However, keep in mind your natural tendency is to overlook the details. Use positive images to inspire others, but don’t gloss over what’s important just because it doesn’t support your vision.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ability to say exactly the right thing can help you through a tricky situation today, while allowing you to inadvertently promise more than you can deliver. Unfortunately, you may not realize what you’ve said until it’s too late. Speaking before you think increases the stress; make sure to balance any positive immediate effect with the potential long-term consequences.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Daydreaming is a great way to visualize different scenarios before you pick out the right one to follow. Your thoughts can take you on a spectacular journey today; however, individually each one seems so good that you simply cannot make up your mind. There isn’t any reason to force making a choice right away, so just enjoy the present moment while it lasts.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be a bit detached from everyone around you today. It’s as if getting close to someone now activates a memory of an old emotional wound. But don’t be too harsh a critic because your energy will continue to morph and change. Practice letting go of your desire to control everything; your adaptability helps you turn a complex day into a simply joyous one.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be feeling sorry for yourself today, especially if others tell you that you should be living a less complicated life. But you recently made decisions that suggest you like to have a variety of options at your disposal. However, don’t waste too much energy arguing with anyone else or you’ll wear yourself out before you can make the right choice. Ultimately, the only person you have to please is yourself.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s stressful square with motor-mouthed Mercury reminds you to forget about your worries and see how far you can take one great idea, instead. But it’s not a day of impractical fantasies, so don’t bother trying to escape from the practical side of life. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, even while allowing new ideas to inspire your dreams.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel optimistic today, but it’s not easy to put your big ideas into action. Your patience will ultimately be rewarded, freeing you to talk about your plans. Once the Moon enters fiery Sagittarius in the afternoon you remember how much fun you can have when you take off on an adventure. Don’t hold back; start something new and exciting when the universe tells you that it’s time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you may begin the day with a high level of anxiety, your current emotional overload may be exactly the catalyst you need. You might prefer to keep quiet now, because once you begin sharing you could end up saying way more than you originally intended. Don’t worry if you overreact in the early morning, for there’s still time to find your way back to a more comfortable place later in the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s return to your extroverted sign this afternoon is an exciting wake-up call. You can consciously set patterns for the next couple of weeks, but it may be smarter to simply focus on what’s happening in the immediate moment, instead. Once the reset is complete and you are fully engaged in the here-and-now, it becomes much easier to imagine the amazing possibilities of the future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may still be on your guard today, especially if you recently had a few days of very intense interactions. Unfortunately, the lack of any real romance on your horizon could be the source of your unhappiness. Fortunately, you can shift your attention to seek satisfaction professionally. You’re a champion when it comes to working hard and now this innate characteristic pays off handsomely. But even if you are proud of your accomplishments, don’t totally ignore your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are blessed with the gift of gab now and everywhere you turn, the words just fall right out of your mouth. You love to talk about your recent experiences, yet this isn’t a time to reminisce about past achievements. Throw caution to the wind and open your mind to a wide variety of possibilities before settling down and choosing one. Visualizing your future is the first step to creating your dreams.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Others may get lost as they try to follow your thinking today because your thoughts are slipping in and out of fantasies and parallel universes, making everything quite complex. But even if you can’t untangle your words, you still can reach your audience in other ways by playing a song, reading a poem or drawing a picture. Set aside your tech manuals and science books for now and let your creative genius shine.

New Moon Report for Aug. 23 – Sun in Virgo

Sun in Virgo

Tuesday, August 23, 4:21 am PDT, 7:21 am EDT

Virgo is a sign of efficiency that’s more interested in getting the job done right than looking good or playing to the crowd. We can grow more conscious of ways to take care of our bodies and our obligations with less wasted time and effort. This sign’s penchant for perfectionism can lead to unreasonable expectations. Yet the purpose of setting high standards is to inspire us to work toward them and respect the progress we’re making even if there’s still a long way to go.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 22

The pace picks up now that the Moon is in jittery Gemini. Our irrepressible curiosity tempts us to follow nearly any person, thought or activity that hooks our imaginations. However, we may not make the best choices as the Sun opposes confusing Neptune, blurring our senses and muddling boundaries. Instead of seeing things objectively, we are looking at reality through rose-colored glasses that allow our subjectivity to alter our perceptions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s not easy to follow through on whatever you start today. You probably have already promised more than you can deliver, and noisy distractions make it even harder now to concentrate on any particular task. Fortunately, you can turn a difficult situation to your advantage when necessary, so focus your intentions on the present moment and make some magic happen.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you are able to accomplish a lot today, it’s challenging to keep up with so many things pulling you in a variety of directions. You could quickly exhaust yourself if you don’t set sensible limits early in the day. You truly want to please others now, making it hard to say no to their enticing offers. Ultimately, you can gain more respect for stating what you can’t do than falling short of your unrealistic promises.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s return to inquisitive Gemini has you asking one question after another about what you’re doing and where you’re going. It’s wise to take time to be alone now so you can think about your goals, even if it’s tempting to distract yourself with social activities. Don’t let your desire for fun keep you from following through with what you know is best.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your ability to play it low key enables you to show up at work without revealing too much about your personal life. Others may think that they can see the true you, but you might be turning on the charm in order to hide something you don’t want to talk about. Trust your intuition now; don’t divulge your feelings until you’re more comfortable with what you have to say.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are in the midst of an internal battle, although it may play out now in the realm of relationships. The radiant Sun in your generous sign encourages you to express the love that’s in your heart while its opposition to spiritual Neptune dissipates the boundaries that would normally prevent you from going further. Unfortunately, your friends won’t be of much help now because they’ll just tell you to throw caution to the wind. Being brave is admirable, but you could regret your actions if you act foolishly.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tough to make a job-related decision today, for you wish you could travel down both paths that diverge at a fork in the road. Even if you can delay your final judgment for a few days, you may not be able to avoid making a choice about your future. Take your time and consider all of the alternatives before agreeing to any long-term commitments.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might want everyone to know that you’re up for anything the group decides today. You may even believe that it’s more important now to support your friends and co-workers than it is to further your own agenda. But you want to enjoy yourself as much as anyone else, so don’t be so fast to minimize your desires for the sake of the community.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are motivated to shine professionally now with the Sun in your 10th House of Status. You are often content to work behind the scenes, yet today you yearn to be on center stage. You are doing a great job and want everyone to know about your superhuman efforts. You may feel as if a new set of priorities is replacing the old list of rules. Don’t question your objectives; just push toward them and see how it feels. You can always return to your previous agenda if you so choose.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your goals may become increasingly significant now that someone rattles your nerves when he or she doesn’t support your program. It’s hard for you to understand why others aren’t more concerned about the future, and it makes you feel slightly out of control. Instead of attempting to tighten the reins, it’s smarter to loosen them for a while and see where it all goes.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can feel the Moon’s restless tug as she pulls you one way and then another. You might attempt to disregard your shifting emotions, but you don’t seem to have a lot of control now over your feelings. Let the whimsical winds carry you along because attempts to alter their direction are fruitless. Take scenic routes and detours whenever possible today, for your horizons widen as soon as you step off the beaten path.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be struggling to find your way in a relationship now, even if everything seems copasetic to others. You’re hopeful that the current tension will dissipate all by itself before emotions erupt. But unspoken issues lurk beneath the surface, like monsters in a nightmare waiting for you to let down your guard. The Moon is in your 5th House of Romance, so keep shining the light of your awareness to bring up your fears where they can finally be put in their proper perspective.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your key planet Jupiter opens doors faster than you’re able to walk through them today. Oddly enough, if you do grab on to an opportunity, you still may have to wait a while until it begins to pay off. It might feel as if you have been here before; somehow, it seems like the wheels of time are turning backward. Nevertheless, keep looking ahead; it’s the future that’s calling and not the past.

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, August 21

A fanciful Venus-Neptune opposition enables us to fall in love with beauty, ignoring the practical details. Although this tug-of-war between artsy Venus and foggy Neptune enables us to tap into our creativity, we may be challenged to discern the truth as we’re easily confused by our imaginations. Venus’ shift into orderly Virgo helps to clarify our desires while the Moon’s move into clever Gemini at 8:52 pm EDT increases our mental agility.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The closer you get to the facts today, the more you realize that you don’t really know what’s happening. Although you may be inclined to jump to premature conclusions now, the longer you can sit with your uncertainty, the better your chance for success. Instead of pushing for resolution on a relationship issue, allow yourself to let go of your need for control and be enchanted by the mysteries of love.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus opposes imaginative Neptune today, tempting you to confuse reality with your dreams. However, you probably won’t float off into the clouds with the Moon in your pragmatic sign for most of the day. Pay attention to your heart’s desires now, because you could turn a daydream into something real. Be willing to take a risk and let go of what you assume to be true.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have a great idea about what you want to do today, but your preferences are limited by practical considerations that prevent you from getting exactly what you want. Instead of feeling disappointed if reality falls short of your expectations, look for the undiscovered opportunities that come along with the unexpected changes. There are more options than you can imagine if you only remain open to them.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could easily miss some important details today because your daydreams are so distracting. One strategy includes asking lots of questions and remembering to read every word before signing anything. Mercury’s current retrograde requires you to reconsider your financial options, but your mind is operating with fuzzy logic now. Don’t assume that everything will just work out for the best. You may be sorely disappointed if you do.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Relationships can present a real dilemma today because sweet Venus in your sign adds to your charm while nebulous Neptune clouds your judgment. Someone may enchant you now as your imagination turns a frog into a prince (or princess) in your mind. Everything looks good until you wake up and have to deal with things the way they are in reality rather than how they are in your fantasies.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be in for a frustrating day if you think that you need to maintain control in a relationship. But your illusions will likely dissipate quickly, like clouds after a storm, once you have your first confrontation with a friend or partner who doesn’t buy into your way of seeing things. Letting someone else lead for a while lessens the pressure and allows you to enjoy yourself without having to know every detail.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus brings you a beautiful image today, but it’s slightly out of focus as she engages in a tug-of-war with mystical Neptune. It may be difficult to meet your responsibilities now because you prefer seeking the elusive perfection of beauty than dealing with mundane reality. But don’t leave your chores undone; once your work is finished you can drift off into dreamland without any interruptions.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A solution to a dilemma may not be forthcoming today, but part of the problem is that you won’t receive useful answers until you can formulate clear questions. Take some quiet time away from your current responsibilities to untangle your thoughts. Once you’ve established a logical starting point, the rest of the process will be much easier. Nevertheless, be patient; it may take a few days to obtain the clarity you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if you’re dealing with the same issues as yesterday, they might not appear to bother you as much today. However, just beneath your life-is-beautiful veneer, stresses are still at work. Don’t waste energy trying to make your life look better than it actually is. Once others see that you have problems like everyone else, they’ll be more inclined to interact with you personally. Expressing the truth reveals your vulnerability and opens a door for a truly honest relationship.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not know what to think today as your core beliefs are brought into question. Thankfully, you no longer have to pretend that you have all the answers. Once you’re free from being in charge, you’ll have more time to delve into your own subconscious to discover where things may have gone awry. Practice being more flexible; if you are too rigid in your thinking now, something may have to give and it won’t likely be very pleasant.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be having a problem within an intimate or family relationship today, yet you cannot see things as they truly are. Your imagination has overtaken reality and you aren’t able to get to the bottom of an issue because your judgment isn’t as sharp as usual. Don’t push too hard for any sort of change now; just let the process happen at its own rate.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s not easy for you to keep your impulses in check today, especially if someone is tempting you to go out on a limb and express your feelings. But your partner or a friend could lay down some rules now that won’t let you off the hook so easily. Instead of striking out because you’re afraid of being vulnerable, integrate your fears into your life and face them before you experience a relationship crisis.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Aug. 19 – 21

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Romantic R&R

August 19 – 21

Turn off your phone and make this a sweet, slow, sensual weekend with plenty of time to laze around and linger with the one you love. If you’re currently single, a key to making a heart connection is to be as comfortable in your own skin as possible. The Moon is traveling through laid-back and low-key Taurus now, an earth sign that’s never in a hurry. Being at ease with yourself might seem boring, but this sign’s energy works best when we’re operating at a more relaxed pace and by accepting ourselves just as we are. Trying hard to impress others can sometimes be a good way to attract attention, but it’s not worth the effort this weekend.

A bit of self-indulgence isn’t a bad thing because it’s proof that you know how to make yourself happy. Others can’t help but admire your easygoing approach, which is likely to make you more desirable, but coming across as needy is a definite no-no. Simple events and experiences like enjoying a picnic in the park, listening to favorite music in the backyard or Sun worshipping at the beach are just a few ways to enrich ourselves with the bounty of the Bull.

Loving Venus’ powerful connection with imaginative Neptune on Sunday adds a bit of romantic magic and creativity to the weekend. This cosmic alignment offers the chance to take a temporary great escape, a getaway from reason and responsibility that allows two hearts to become one. It is tricky to tell fact from fiction as you may be transported by fantasies that taste delicious now, but which can fade in the bright light of logic. If pleasure is your goal, this dreamy setting could give you all the ingredients you need. But if you’re looking to build an enduring partnership, temper your indulgence with some common sense so you don’t wake up next week with any regrets.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, August 14th

The intellectual Aquarius Moon joins fuzzy Neptune this morning, fogging perceptions and tempting us to make up the facts as we go along. The Moon drifts into dreamy Pisces at 8:54 am EDT, softening the edges of reality and further coaxing us to fill in missing details with our overactive imaginations. Instead of seeing things objectively now, we see the world through the filters of familiar fantasies and fears, making it tough to find the truth.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to stay within your own limits today, especially if someone sends you mixed messages. It may seem as if a friend is flirting with you one minute and ignoring you the next. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you really want, but be prepared to receive a cool reality check if you need it. There may be more going on within your imagination than you realize.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be confused about what you’re supposed to be doing today because you don’t know whether to help out at home or volunteer at a community event. Either way, your highest ideals are stimulated, but you might think that you’ve failed before you start because it’s impossible for you to live up to your expectations now. Additionally, Mercury’s retrograde could enable you to rush and miss the meaning, so slow down and be gentle with yourself.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult for you to concentrate today because the Moon opposes your key planet Mercury and then slips into otherworldly Pisces. You may feel as if you’re being pulled in opposite directions as you try to tell others about your cool, new idea. The more you try to narrow your focus, the further off track you go. But don’t totally surrender to your fantasies, either. Your best strategy is to go with the flow for a short while before returning to your work in the real world.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your dreams may be so big now that they don’t go away when you wake up and start your day. Don’t try to be overly concrete since you could be riding a creative high. Do your best to capture this magical buzz to make something beautiful. So if you must be accurate in your reporting of details, tell others that it may take you a few days before you have all your facts in order.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may not be ready to express your desires today, but your caution doesn’t mean that you are uncertain. You just want more time for everything to settle down so you can decide how much to say. Until your mental clarity returns, it’s best now to err on the side of sharing less. You can always tell the rest of the story later when the moment is right.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It appears that your friends and coworkers have grown wishy-washy, resisting your requests to be more specific about their feelings. It seems as if everyone stops just short of what needs to be said. You’re stymied and may not even be able to respond to what’s happening. Instead of making someone angry by asking more questions, wait a couple of days before searching for answers again.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be enchanted by your dreams of fame and love, yet these wishes appear to disintegrate like a mirage when you reach out to touch them. Although your most unrealistic hopes can crumble before your eyes, don’t buy into the dissolution of your fantasies. Continue to hold on to your vision of the ideal future. The current uncertainty will pass and you’ll be able to regain your creative edge.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your soft and gentle approach might seem a bit out of character, but a deep desire to connect now flows from your newfound sense of vulnerability. Fortunately, you don’t mind being seen in this state, yet self-protective fears still encourage you to maintain an emotional wall between you and others. Keep in mind that you might be misunderstood today, so remember to take extra time to explain yourself as clearly as possible.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You aren’t expressing yourself openly these days, but this isn’t about intentionally withholding information from those who should have it. Your motives are likely quite simple now, yet language can get in the way to complicate matters. Instead of trying to explain everything you want to do, just tell everyone that you need a couple of days to sort yourself out. If at all possible, don’t get into it with anybody until after tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You won’t be able to avoid the drama today as your practical outlook helps you make it through the bumpy roads of interaction, only to run into an abrupt ending of the highway. You have no choice but to continue on your path, even if there are blocks in the road. Don’t worry; you won’t have to turn back around. For now, just do the best you can to keep inching forward.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could run into an unexpected situation today that stems from your current financial condition. Even if you believe that you’re in good fiscal shape, it might become apparent that you overlooked a small detail that now could become problematic. Unfortunately, no outside help will arrive to magically bail you out in the nick of time. Even if you must dig yourself out of trouble on your own, take heart because you’re not alone.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s move into your sign this morning allows you to share your feelings without becoming overly emotional. You don’t have to say a lot now and that’s okay because your inner world is in such turmoil. Fortunately, others know what you’re feeling before you even open your mouth. And when you start talking, your poetic speech can mesmerize everyone before they even know what hit them. Use your intuition wisely; don’t squander your gift on meaningless chatter.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 8th

Today’s farseeing Sagittarius Moon inspires us to think big while retrograde Mercury skips back into dramatic Leo, encouraging us to deliver our messages with an extra punch. However, the tipsy trickster bumps into a confusing opposition with fuzzy Neptune, repeating this stressful aspect that recently occurred on July 29. We would be wise to pay extra attention to all forms of communication because our good intentions could get lost in the fog.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be the leader of the gossip squad at work today because you can waste time as long as you’re having fun. But you are so quick-witted now that you might say something that shouldn’t be shared. Words slip out of your mouth before you think about their impact. Keep in mind that taking a few breaths before speaking up won’t make you less popular; in fact, slowing down your delivery may be enough to save you from an embarrassing situation.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You appear to be putting in maximum effort on the job, but you can simultaneously lose yourself in your daydreams, even if your double life isn’t noticed by anyone else. Although others cannot tell how far from reality your mind is meandering, they can see that your rich imagination is adding something special to your practical ideas. Don’t hesitate to share your creative point of view, even if it seems unrealistic to you at first.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be at a turning point in a friendship because you need to decide if you’re going to take it to the next level or retreat to emotionally safer ground. Be careful, for you could make a bad choice today if you let your hopes color your perceptions. Postpone any major decisions for a couple of days, if you can. Once your muddled thinking clears, you’ll be able to choose your course of action with more confidence.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s challenging to compare your idealistic dreams with what you currently have in your life. The gulf between your fantasies and reality may be so great now that you don’t even know where to begin. Instead of setting yourself up for failure by aiming too high, try a more modest start. Acknowledging what you’ve already accomplished is better than tearing yourself down with self-criticism. Beginning with a few simple affirmations can give you the positive boost you need.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be basking in the light of admiration today, but you could fool yourself into thinking that everyone is your friend. It isn’t that anyone is necessarily working against you; it’s just that others have their own agendas and it’s crucial for you to understand where they diverge from yours. Don’t waste your breath trying to convince anyone that you’re right. If you can be satisfied with what each person has to offer now, you won’t set yourself up for disappointment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could have a tough time staying on track today because you can see fantastic possibilities everywhere you look. Although you know that hard work is key in reaching your goals, your optimism leads you to believe a task will be easier than it is. Still, you are at a fork in the road and you may not know which way to go. Just remember that you are probably missing some crucial facts, so it’s wiser to take the more conservative route, even if it means walking away from the excitement for now.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re a bit of a social butterfly today, flying from one captivating conversation to another. However, this doesn’t mean that you should try to avoid a more pressing subject, even if it leads to unfamiliar territory. You can still clear the air by sharing what’s important to you, but circumvent a passionate discussion for a few days.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

No matter how certain you are of your current choices, it’s not a good idea to trust your senses today because they can easily mislead you. Don’t allow yourself to be lulled into a state of hypnotic acceptance. Even if you’re dreaming of smooth sailing ahead, there are storm clouds on the horizon and you are advised to batten down the hatches while the Sun is still shining. Ironically, a rough patch might be enough of a wake-up call to get you back on course.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your optimistic sign can raise feelings of nostalgia as you remember a kinder and gentler version of your past. But it’s not smart to believe the stories you tell now because you may have changed the facts to support your current mood. There’s nothing wrong with reviewing your personal history as long as you understand that you can’t live fully in the present moment when you’re clinging too tightly onto memories.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be tempted by an unrealistic fantasy about a relationship now. However, your idealistic dreams can actually stand between you and happier days. Acknowledging your attachment to one particular outcome is a good start if you’re willing to make it less important. There’s no need to go to extremes and deny your preferences if you can maintain a healthy perspective.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Perhaps you thought that you had everything under control, but today you may miss an important piece of the puzzle. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to fix anything if you make a wrong assumption. Becoming more aware of your mistakes is enough for now. Don’t initiate action too quickly or you could stir up a hornet’s nest that leads to an intense power struggle. Your relationships are in flux, so take time to see where things are going before trying to exert too much control.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are an avid dreamer and today’s Mercury-Neptune aspect magnifies your wishful thinking. You can journey so far into the depths of your imagination that you may lose track of what’s going on in the real world. An unexpected event can shock you into awareness, waking you from your contemplative state and confronting you with the truth. It may be very disconcerting at first, but the reality check could be a blessing in disguise.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 7th

Conflicting cosmic messages encourage us to want more from life, yet simultaneously put up barriers to prevent us from going too far. The expansive influence comes from the Moon’s move into adventurous Sagittarius at 11:20 am EDT. This inspirational phase raises our self-esteem and prompts us to think big. Meanwhile, an emotionally constrictive Venus-Saturn sextile reminds us that taking a risk for possible pleasure is not a viable option today.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you’re determined to be serious today, it’s too soon to say whether or not you’ll be successful at getting much accomplished. You are quite convincing now, and you may be as good at misleading others as you are in fooling yourself. If someone accepts your optimistic expectations as the truth, you may need to face the music when the facts are discovered. A wiser strategy is to be completely realistic now so you don’t have to backtrack and revise your story later.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could be hesitant to listen to your instincts today, even if they are telling you to take a chance. Your closest friends may be cheering you forward, yet you don’t trust the positive messages you’re now receiving. Keep in mind that there’s no need to justify your caution to anyone. Just move at your own pace; you already know from prior experience that a slower and steadier approach pays off.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is still tuning into ethereal Neptune, inspiring you to share your spiritual experiences, weave your words into poetic phrases and put a magical spin on nearly everything you say. Fortunately, your idealism goes a long way now toward reestablishing a solid connection with a loved one. However, an underlying tension won’t likely disappear overnight. Do whatever you can to help relieve the stress, but remember that this is an ongoing work in progress.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You often keep your feelings to yourself because you’re afraid of being judged or criticized. Nevertheless, today’s extroverted Sagittarius Moon prompts you to blurt out what’s on your mind without much consideration for the consequences. Pushing through your fears allows you to share your secrets with a trustworthy friend. Still, you’re the only one who can decide how far you want to venture outside of your shell.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to be more generous with your affections now that friendly Venus is in demonstrative Leo and the Moon is in optimistic Sagittarius. But Venus’ warmth is somewhat cooled by austere Saturn, making it tougher to connect with others in a lighthearted manner. You can still come through for those you love as long as you concentrate on being real, rather than on being liked.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is preparing to back out of your picky sign and into loud Leo. Thankfully, you’ll still be able to retain your common sense because a practical Venus-Saturn alignment gives you a cool and calm perspective. You don’t have to tell anyone all that you know. Although you like the idea of being open and honest, keeping some things secret can be the most appropriate thing to do. Just don’t let your caution turn into apathy in the process.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Surprisingly, you may be the practical one today because your ruling planet Venus connects with authoritative Saturn, enabling you to see what’s real and what’s an illusion. Although your easygoing charm can disarm others, your pleasant demeanor hides your inner perfectionist, workaholic or curmudgeon. If you concentrate and clearly visualize what you want, you might just find a way to make it happen.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Once you get into your groove today, you’ll be able to accomplish more than you expect. Tying up loose ends feels good and your self-confidence grows with each completed task. Remember, nothing is holding you back now except your own self-limiting fears. Stick to your agenda and continue building momentum throughout the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are able to be very persuasive once the Moon is back in your sign. If you’re passionate in your appeal, you could probably motivate people to go along with your ideas today, whether your perspective is accurate or not. Although you wouldn’t mislead others intentionally, the pictures you now paint with your words can be so pretty that everyone wants to share in your vision. Although telling a tall tale might be more fun, sticking to the facts will keep you out of trouble.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are inclined to dramatize what you say today, and the ease with which you exaggerate makes it tough for you to be as trustworthy as usual. You can use the expansive nature of the fearless Sagittarius Moon to defend someone who may not be as eloquent as you are. Fortunately, the help you receive from reliable Saturn can keep you on the straight and narrow path. There’s no hurry now; your words carry more weight when you give them time to fully sink in.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends seek out your advice today because the Moon in your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes gives you an optimistic vision of the future. Your strategy may be to focus on the acknowledgment of prosperity rather than the fear of scarcity. Fortunately, you can have a motivational impact on others now if you maintain a positive spin on what’s happening, yet still remember to present both sides of an issue.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want everyone to see how competent you are now that the Moon is back in your 10th House of Public Responsibility. However, it’s challenging to balance your desire for efficiency with your need to have fun. Prioritize the tasks in front of you; if you finish the most important ones, you’ll have time later to seek the pleasure you want. It will be easier for you to enjoy

yourself today if you feel that you earned the right to relax.

New Moon Report for August 4th – Neptune in Aquarius

Neptune in Aquarius

Thursday, August 4, 7:59 pm PDT, 10:59 pm EDT

Neptune’s 6-month visit to brainy Aquarius provides a subtle dose of intellectual inspiration. Mystical beliefs and spirituality may be described in scientific terms, blurring the lines between physics and metaphysics. Perhaps some genius ideas will emerge that can help us safely dispose of plastic waste and finally lead to mainstream application of alternative energy sources.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Aug. 3rd

Retrograde Mercury in analytical Virgo requires extra precision when choosing our words. But it’s also opposing nebulous Neptune, plaguing us with fuzzy thinking. Our energy is dampened when fiery Mars enters watery Cancer today, yet its easy trine to Neptune helps us tap into the magic of our fantasies. Thankfully, the Moon’s entry into objective Libra at 6:04 am EDT helps us balance our current need for accuracy with the power of imagination.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be more considerate of other people’s feelings now that your ruling planet Mars is visiting nurturing Cancer. Mars harmonizes with mystical Neptune, giving you the ability to turn your dreams into reality if you stay true to yourself. Remember, the key to your current magic comes from speaking the truth and walking your talk. Don’t be shy; say what you want, but at least find the nicest way to do it before you open your mouth.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be weary of friends and associates who mislead you with clever words and smooth promises. You’re not in the mood to be messed with today and if you think that others are avoiding their responsibilities, you can become quite angry. You won’t be any fun to be around if you discover that someone has deceived you in any manner. Try to postpone an important discussion for a few days or you might create more problems than you solve.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although things may settle down when Mars leaves your sign today, your mind is still quite busy. However, someone may not be playing fairly now and you are worried about how this situation could develop over the days ahead. Don’t waste valuable energy by allowing yourself to slip into a fearful state; instead, concentrate your thoughts on spreading love in every moment of the day.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Red-hot Mars pushes into your sign today to fire up your feelings. Unfortunately, your emotional reactions can be strong, possibly making you afraid to share your desires with most people because you’re worried that you might scare them away. But total inaction can lead to more problems, so don’t go quiet and just pretend that all is well. Let a trusted friend or companion know what’s bothering you, but be extra careful not to place blame on anyone for your current worries.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be attached to your desires, yet unable to bring them out into the open today. Others expect you to be upfront and now there could be trouble if they can tell you’re hiding something. Unfortunately, this could lead to someone’s accusations and your denials, wasting energy and leaving you frustrated. Be courageous and proudly admit your feelings. You may be uncertain at first, but revealing what you’ve been hiding can clear the air better than any other strategy.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can’t decide what to do today because you feel off balance. Fortunately, your intentions are probably honorable because you truly want to do the right thing. But even the simplest idea seems to be entangled with other ones, making everything overly complicated. Your actions may even be misinterpreted. Luckily, this is a temporary condition, so cool your jets for a few days until the peace and quiet returns.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might consider withdrawing today so you can focus on taking care of your own needs. However, you’re taunted by outrageous fantasies because they seem quite possible. You’re tempted to push the limits of logic by acting out an impossible dream sequence, only to discover that it works. Nevertheless, you’re treading on unstable ground because the tiniest doubt could cause your entire dreamworld to collapse. Remember, your unwavering belief may be enough to make something special come true.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sharing your deepest concerns is not a wise idea today, especially if there isn’t anyone around that you sufficiently trust. However, in your search for a confidant you could find yourself attracted to someone else’s perspective, believing that it can offer you safe harbor. Unfortunately, impulsive decisions made while you’re excited will probably lead you away from your goals. Instead, take the necessary time to work through your uncertainty before giving your final answer.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Someone might catch you off guard today as he or she tap dances around your probing questions. You would like to be able to trust your instincts, but others won’t likely sit still long enough for you to get a read on what’s happening. Wait a few days until the mysterious and the unknowable situation plays through. Thankfully, you could be left with newfound clarity and purpose.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Some people can become a real pain in the neck now that combative Mars is shifting into your 7th House of Relationships. You may feel as if others are worrying about the wrong things, but you can’t say a word about it because the issue is so sensitive. Naturally, you don’t want to walk around on eggshells because you realize that you’re going to break a few sooner than later. Nevertheless, it’s still sensible to avoid direct confrontation for now.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t know if your current assessment of someone is valid or if you’re forming it on assumptions that are built upon your desires. Thankfully, you may be able to jumpstart yourself into motion. Your flexibility helps to alleviate the anxious pressure of growing tension in a relationship or partnership. But don’t diffuse the uncomfortable energy too quickly. Holding your position and sinking deeper into it should bring you more clarity and meaning than running off to the next situation.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You know that you should be more practical today, but you’re frustrated because you cannot seem to control your emotions. It feels as if mysterious forces are coercing you to take action on a project, even if your heart isn’t in it. Rationally, you understand what others are telling you, but it doesn’t alter your passions. Do what’s necessary to satisfy someone’s expectations, but do not ignore the important messages that are coming from within.

New Moon Report for Aug. 2 – Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde

Tuesday, August 2

The messenger planet’s backward cycle, lasting until August 26, triggers travel troubles, data disasters and communication breakdowns. Double checking details helps prevent these problems. Yet even that might not be enough to stay on track because Mercury’s retrograde turn opposes diffusive Neptune, thickening the fog of confusion. This shift of perspective could, however, open minds to other dimensions with heightened intuition and imagination while softening harsh conversations with compassion.

Daily Horoscopes for July 19th

The planets are quiet today, giving us time to integrate all that has recently happened. The lack of noisy aspects also allows us to experience a deeper and often hidden side of the intuitive Pisces Moon. Instead of getting caught up in distracting fantasies, we can now tap into a more spiritual perspective. Still, we must be extra careful not to confuse the feelings that arise from our psychic impressions with our obligations in the real world.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Hiding out might sound like a good plan, especially if you’ve been overdoing it on the social scene. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about being alone for long because you’re too engaged with others to withdraw completely. It’s simply time for some rest. If possible, you would be wise to coast for a bit while you can today, since you’ll be raring to go tomorrow when the Moon returns to your fiery sign.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You don’t have to agree with everything that others want to do today, especially since jumping from one project to another isn’t your preferred modus operandi. Actually, it makes sense to find some time to chill out and dream about your future, rather than being so busy running around. However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to avoid being part of the group for too long, so take advantage of the time you now have to relax.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Paying more attention to your career is a smart plan now that the Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility. However, your dreams can overtake reality when you’re thinking about your professional objectives. Instead of assuming that anything is possible, temper your vision with a bit of common sense. Remember, you can’t just believe your way to success; you also need a sound strategy and the determination to follow through with it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional involvement in planning your future makes it challenging today to separate your desires from reality. You might believe that your perception of a current situation is valid, yet it’s colored by your opinions more than you realize. Instead of being overly judgmental now, simply describe an event without showing your bias. There will be plenty of time later to express your feelings when it really counts.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your intuition is functioning very well today, enabling you to sense what’s happening underneath the surface. You don’t need anyone to tell you the details, but you should be careful because your perspective may be warped by an old fear that now comes back to haunt you. It’s healthy to remember what happened as long as you understand the difference between the present and the past.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be concerned that your schedule is overbooked today, but you don’t see any way to cut back on your activities. You’re usually motivated to be efficient and do as others expect, but your dreams can be more pressing than what’s actually happening right now. There’s no reason to frustrate yourself by trying to bridge the gap between reality and your imagination. Give yourself permission to explore idealistic possibilities without having to make any of them come true.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You cannot seem to get much accomplished today because you’re not being very practical. Your idealism is fueling your strategy and your plans may not be concrete enough. Unfortunately, you cannot fit your ideas into the narrow confines of a calendar. You’ll be happier now if you take action when you feel like it, rather than forcing your creativity to conform to someone else’s clock.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A creative stream of images floods into your awareness now, but you might have a tough time expressing your ideas to anyone. Although you could have a very clear picture established in your mind, it fades as your day unfolds. If you want to start a project that truly captures your imagination, do it today. Don’t wait for anyone’s approval because your excitement will begin to dissipate if you don’t act soon.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s Pisces Moon feels like the beginning of an end. You’re ready to call it quits and start something new, but you may be jumping the gun. Stick to what you’re doing for another day, even if you’re already bored. You’ll gain more now by sinking into your feelings about your past than distracting yourself by prematurely changing your direction.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s challenging to manage your schedule today as the diffusive Pisces Moon moves through your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. You might even mix up the time of an appointment or meeting. But reining in control by paying attention to details won’t work either, for someone else may be the source of trouble. Practice detachment and let your plans unravel if they must. Don’t worry; you’ll be able to put the pieces back together in a way that will work better than your original agenda anyhow.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A concerted effort to demonstrate how important your values are won’t prevent others from ignoring you if they disagree with your ideas. You still might try your hand at making an intelligent plea to muster support for your point of view. Fortunately, your words may have more impact than you realize because it’s nearly impossible to get a clear read on anyone now. Say what’s on your mind and then let it go. Don’t judge your progress until tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s monthly visit to your sign usually brightens the colors of your dreams. The edges of reality are softened, luring you into believing something that may be quite irrational. Don’t try to distinguish the differences between fact and fiction today because some of your beliefs could cross the line, flipping back and forth without concern for logic. See what changes the next few days bring before you make up your mind.

General Daily Horoscopes for July 18th

The Moon enters the boundless realms of watery Pisces at 1:12 am EDT, turning down the volume on our thoughts. The sweet perfection of a wonderful fantasy can grab our attention as the imaginative Pisces Moon conjuncts nebulous Neptune. We’re entranced by the lure of those magical things which cannot be seen in the real world. However, the Moon’s difficult aspect with karmic Saturn in the evening reveals the gulf between reality and our dreams.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling somewhat deflated today, as if you’ve seen something you truly want yet know you cannot have. You could even grow annoyed with yourself for falling victim to your own unrealistic expectations. However, your frown can transform into a smile once you understand that you are the source of your confusion now. The truth may not be what you wished for, but it can still set you free.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to be on your best behavior today, but you still could get yourself into trouble if you believe that you can fix everything. Nevertheless, it’s tempting to overestimate the positive results of your actions. You appreciate a new opportunity, but may become frustrated if it disappears as suddenly as it arrived. Even so, there’s no reason for discouragement to come between you and another good prospect. Fortunately, your irrepressible dreams continue to pull you toward success.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be able to justify starting so many activities now because your responsibilities require that you follow one specific task through to completion. Unfortunately, you’re feeling restless and more inclined to jump from one project to another. Ironically, narrowing your focus onto a single goal can actually open new avenues for exploration, so don’t be so eager to beat the system and move on too soon.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You would like nothing more than to live in a free-spirited world of sunshine and flowers today, but reality can’t live up to your fantastic expectations. Unfortunately, the Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Big Ideas isn’t very helpful if you need to focus your attention on more practical issues. Set aside a bit of time for aimless daydreaming, but then come back to earth and get busy with your work.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could have the most amazing vision today, and by demonstrating patience and follow-through you may even be able to produce something special. Even if you’re not Beethoven or Rembrandt, a lack of artistic skills need not stand in your way. Although you would like your work to be appreciated, it’s more important now to be creative, whether or not anyone else notices what you do. Remember, it’s currently about the process rather than the finished product.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can drive yourself crazy today if you try to narrow your attention on solving one particular problem. Unfortunately, the more you attend to details, the more your mind escapes the confines of the current situation as forced logic morphs into fuzzy thinking. Instead of approaching the current dilemma from a logical perspective, just imagine the desired outcome and start off in that direction without worrying about what you’ll do next.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re eager to share your ideas at work, but they may not be ready for an unsuspecting audience yet. It’s like a dream that makes perfect sense until you start to tell it to someone else — and then it quickly fades back into the shadows. Paradoxically, even your most sensible plan grows fuzzier as you elaborate on the details. Skip the wordy explanation today; you can bring others up to date in a day or two.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You really don’t want to waste time discussing trivial subjects today, but ironically, you don’t seem to be able to avoid it. You would rather place the endless stream of words on hold in order to intensify a current emotional dynamic. Keep in mind that you may have to engage in superficial conversations just to make it through the workday. It’s not an either/or situation; you can still make time to explore more meaningful topics later with someone you trust.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re enthusiastic about taking a journey, yet uncertainty is beginning to take root and you don’t understand why. Worries about your family or concerns about your own emotional security may prevent you from traveling anywhere, now. Fortunately, you can go somewhere without ever leaving home. The advantage of a mental excursion is that no one will even know that you’re gone. You can explore the distant reaches of the universe in your imagination while on the job and still return in the wink of an eye to answer the phone.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You aren’t averse to floating around in the realms of your imagination; however, you start to feel anxious if you go out too far in the process. You may struggle today if there’s no obvious way to return to solid ground, but your fear is more of a problem than the actual situation. You can avoid stress by consciously staying connected with your work. Be creative, but don’t fly so high that you get lost in the clouds.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It may seem as if you are losing touch with reality now, but this perception is only an illusion. People can’t see your inner process, so they don’t understand that you’re actually being very pragmatic today. You can take advantage of this temporary confusion since you don’t appear to be threatening to anyone. Be assertive and push for what you want. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are very smooth at shifting metaphysical gears and slipping in and out of the real world so fast that no one even notices your absence. Even heavy responsibilities won’t stop you from enjoying your mini-escapes to other realms today. But consider scheduling a block of time for your mental adventures, instead of trying to squeeze them into short moments here and there. Stretching your mind into imaginary places is healthy as long as you also get your work done.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 2

The Sun in emotional Cancer is restrained today by a stressful square to stoic Saturn, requiring us to withhold our feelings. Ironically, chatty Mercury enters boisterous Leo, encouraging expressive communication. But Mercury aligns with spacey Neptune, indicating that our words may not tell the whole story. Additionally, the Moon’s shift into fiery Leo at 5:42 pm EDT motivates us to be outgoing, but playful actions might actually hide our fears.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Resentment can grow out of frustration if you can’t figure out how to bring strong feelings out into the open. Your regular channels of communication may be blocked today, leading you to internalize your unexpressed feelings. But your inability to say what’s on your mind has less to do with external circumstances than with your need to process a lesson that you have been trying to avoid. The obstacles won’t seem so overwhelming if you are willing to face the truth.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Now that your life seems to be moving in a positive direction again, you aren’t eager to have to slow down for any reason. Nevertheless, easing off the gas pedal is a smart idea because you could lose control if you’re taking the curves too fast. Although you might try to keep up with all your current projects, circumstances could dictate otherwise. Be wise and practice some self-discipline before things get out of hand.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You cannot waste energy and get away with it today because you are under pressure to get a lot accomplished and there’s very little margin for error. You don’t have much of a choice; you must pay attention to taskmaster Saturn as it gives you a stern reality check. However, just listening to the message is not enough. Narrow your concentration so you can focus on the most critical matters first.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may retreat from a social situation today because someone hurts your feelings, even if it’s unintentional. You could take a setback so seriously that you just want to stay home and be by yourself. However, withdrawing is not the most intelligent strategy now. Instead of concentrating on your disappointment, figure out how to improve your productivity. If you are accomplishing what you set out to do, you’re less likely to have time to be bothered by the inconsiderate actions of others.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be the first one to say you want to have fun, it’s not that easy to set aside your responsibilities in favor of pleasure. Usually, you can easily discuss the alternative plans before determining the best way to handle the current temptations. However, your tendency is to keep your misgivings secret today. Push up against your resistance and take a risk. Others won’t judge you so quickly if you share what’s on your mind with them.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are determined to maintain your integrity now by doing exactly what you promise, but distractions and obstructions continue to alter your course. You may be excited to head in an unknown direction, but you are on a mission and every setback brings more frustration. You can gain a lot of strength by staying on your spiritual path, rather than wandering around aimlessly. Remember, you cannot reach your destination if you stop to explore every alternative along the way.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s not apparent where so much resistance is coming from now, but you could bump into stone walls no matter which way you turn. Even your friends that are normally helpful seem to be blocking your way today. Thankfully, you have a secret weapon that you can use to your advantage: your ability to wait. Patience, combined with unflappable determination, is your ticket through this difficult obstacle course.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are following a path that you have been down before. However, you discover that even paved highways have fallen into decay and are difficult to traverse. No matter that you were previously moving along smoothly, now every step is a small victory and you need to work hard to gain more ground. Today’s progress may feel good but will probably leave you exhausted. Don’t take on too much; it’s better to do one job well than to do several things haphazardly.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You do what you can to put your best foot forward, even in light of discouraging news today. It isn’t easy to overcome a setback just by changing your mind. There are other concerns about the people you love and your role in the community. You have a lot to think about now, but rest assured your perspective will be better tomorrow. Allow a couple of days for things to turn around before reassessing the situation.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your somber attitude may be misinterpreted today as incurable pessimism; however, you don’t feel as negative as you appear. You understand exactly what’s required to reach your goals and are willing to do whatever you must to deliver on your promises. However, others may express their doubts now, but don’t let them talk you out of your beliefs. Approach the future with a realistic outlook to prevent unnecessary disappointment later on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The connection between your current inability to express yourself freely and others holding you back might be more challenging than you think. In fact, your creativity may be squelched by Saturn’s square to the Sun. Be careful; don’t jump to conclusions today or you could waste a lot of energy incorrectly blaming others for your dilemma. Taking total responsibility for your own actions is a healthy place to start.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It doesn’t feel good if a friend suddenly withdraws his or her support today. The cold shoulder you are receiving doesn’t seem to be an appropriate response to your hard work, leaving you feeling angry and confused. Don’t waste time or energy complaining; instead, take the high road and finish what you started. The more you stay focused now, the easier it will be next week when the challenging Sun-Saturn alignment begins to fade.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 22

The imaginative Pisces Moon tempts us to choose fantasy over reality. Meanwhile two aspects highlight Pisces’ key planet Neptune, further spiritualizing and mystifying our lives: Assertive Mars squares Neptune, provoking us to act foolishly. While we can inadvertently mislead others or confuse ourselves, the Sun’s harmonious trine to Neptune indicates that our best ideas are still intuitive. Ultimately, our dreams can help us grow in many ways.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Saying something with authority doesn’t make it true, but pushy Mars’ square with deceptive Neptune tempts you to try this ploy as a strategy today. You may actually believe that you can talk someone into seeing the world through your eyes. But overpowering others by insisting you’re right only makes you sound foolish, because your rationalizations are more transparent than you realize. There’s no need to pretend that you’re in control when you’re not. Those who know you love you simply for being yourself.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your future is looking bright today, but you may not be heading in the right direction to actually make your dreams come true. It’s not that your goals are unrealistic; it’s just that you can underestimate the resources necessary to reach your destination. Thankfully, if you let your imagination wander, you can see possibilities that others miss. Just remember to draw a line to separate fact from fancy or you could be rudely surprised by the outcome.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be happy that your brightest dreams are ripe for picking, but don’t let your confidence run away with the show while confusing Neptune is in your 10th House of Status. You might believe that you can be successful without working harder, but this illusion will dissipate as circumstances change. If an idealistic fantasy fades as you get closer to it, it’s best to let it go and move on to something else.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It may seem as if you have all the words necessary to describe your hopeful feelings today, yet you still cannot initiate a conversation about your dreams of the future. Don’t waste energy being self-critical now, for you are wise to keep your vision to yourself until you have a good reason to share it. It’s not useful to reveal your plan prematurely or you might create an awkward moment. Be patient and remain quiet just a little bit longer.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It feels as if you’re in an idyllic social situation today and that everyone seems to support your decisions. You’re not even thinking about what you should do next; you’re in the flow and everything is just happening naturally. However, your desire for a deeper connection doesn’t play well with your current energy, which may be more scattered now. You can maintain the status quo by temporarily keeping your emotions to yourself.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s challenging to relax today because you’re afraid of what may happen if you don’t resist the prevailing emotional currents. You would prefer to be rational and in control one hundred percent of the time, but unfortunately you are not. Therefore, your most logical strategy is to avoid getting hooked by your desires. However, attempts to deny your needs give power to whatever you fear most. Escape your regular routine; lead with your imagination and not your analytical thoughts.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Starting your job early in the day sounds like an intelligent idea, but nothing seems to go as planned. Your positive attitude is the most important deciding factor now in whether you can put your schedule back on track or if it will completely derail. Don’t become too rigid now if you run into an obstacle; being flexible will actually enable you to regain control later.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be quite eager to take the easy way out today. Typically, you stick to your principles, even if your idealistic approach complicates your life. But you have a long-term plan now and you’re not willing to jeopardize it over any one particular issue. Although choosing your battles wisely is always a smart strategy, compromising your values can create even more problems down the road.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your imagination is extremely vivid today, encouraging you to mix up your daydreams with your reality. You may actually believe that you can get more done than is possible because everything happens so smoothly in your mind. Unfortunately, each task takes more time than you think. You could end up in trouble if you race through a chore, believing you can make up for lost time. Instead, promise less and deliver more.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may fool your workmates today by pretending to be busier than you actually are. If you want to be recognized for your contribution to a project, don’t try so hard to make yourself look good. If you take your little song and dance too far, you might inadvertently overstep your bounds. You are better off by just working hard and then letting the chips fall where they may.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are extra creative today as Mars, now in your 5th House of Self-Expression, is agitated by imaginative Neptune. However, your production can be delayed or even blocked by your lack of a concrete plan. Nevertheless, you could feel as if you’re wasting time managing the unexpected interruptions, but it’s wise to just handle them as they occur. Oddly enough, the distractions might inspire you to even greater heights.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A personal issue — domestic or romantic — may rattle your nerves today, yet you don’t quite know how to settle yourself down. It’s all too easy for you to shut out your problems for a while by withdrawing into your imagination. But escaping into Fantasyland works best for only brief moments of time, prior to returning to the real world issues. Working on tangible solutions is productive, though tensions may not ease until tomorrow.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 10

The fair-minded Libra Moon grows more judgmental today because she creates several tough aspects, including a conjunction with karmic Saturn. Still, the sharp edges of reality are softened by illusory Neptune’s square to friendly Venus in happy-go-lucky Gemini, enticing us to fill in the missing details with our imagination. Instead of seeing the world objectively now, we view it through Neptune’s filters and our individual fantasies and fears.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to know what to do today if your friends send you mixed messages. You may feel as if others set clear limits and then, once you acknowledge them by your actions, they wonder why you have withdrawn. Both of you are confused by the other person’s reactions as you alternate between reality and fantasy. Although the truth seems to fluctuate, your most intelligent strategy is to fall back on communication. If in doubt, check it out.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your planetary ruler Venus may leave you befuddled today as she squares delusional Neptune. On the other hand, this aspect can also activate your highest ideals. Although this can play out in the realm of relationships, the current activation of your 2nd House of Finances is likely to create a lack of clarity around money issues. Don’t make any unnecessary expenditures since your desires may change dramatically over the next several days.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult to concentrate today because Venus, the planet of personal attractions, is doing battle with Neptune, the planet of spiritual attractions. Venus is in dualistic Gemini, making you feel pulled in two entirely different directions, even if the consequences of your choices aren’t very clear. Don’t give in to temptation now; try to listen to the cool voice of reason instead of letting your imagination run wild.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your dreams are in bright colors today, but the beauty of the images is less important than the serious message that the symbols convey. However, it’s not a good idea to be too concrete in your interpretations, for your imposed logic could squelch your creative high. Instead, do whatever you can to capture the magical energy that is flowing through you. And if others want you to report on your current actions, tell them that you require more time to put your facts in order.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may not be ready to share what’s on your mind because you can see everything in the form of visions today, and words cannot easily communicate their subtlety. Taking time for things to settle down will enable you to make smarter choices about how much to verbalize. Until you know for sure, it’s wiser to err on the side of discretion. You can always tell more later; however, once you start to open up, you won’t be able to take back what has already been said.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Venus’ square to fuzzy Neptune in your 7th House of Others could make others seem more wishy-washy today. It doesn’t matter what you say, they still won’t be specific enough. You can’t respond to the current circumstances if everyone stops short of speaking their mind. Instead of making someone angry with your incorrect assumptions, wait for a couple of days and then start your search for the truth again when you have more information at your disposal.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is in your 9th House of Big Ideas yet her square to diffusive Neptune makes it difficult to know exactly what you want. You may be overwhelmed by your dreams of an ideal vacation or your attraction to a new philosophy or religion. But when you get closer to your imagined future, it crumbles before your eyes. Don’t accept defeat; create a more realistic set of goals and try again.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your current approach to love is gentler than usual, but it’s still very much you, even if your desires are colored by your vulnerability today. Nevertheless, it’s okay to trust the innate wisdom of the universe; you probably don’t need to keep to yourself as much as you think. Remember that others may not understand your actions now, so it’s wise to take time and explain yourself as clearly as possible.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might try to keep your feelings in check today, but your desire to be heard will probably win out over your need to play it safe. Unfortunately, your message may be muddled because you don’t actually know what you want, and the more you say the worse it gets. Don’t bother trying to explain yourself yet. Thankfully, you should do better when your clarity begins to return tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re in for a bit of melodrama today as your plans stumble over your lack of execution. Even if you usually have a knack for making your dreams come true, your ideas may be less practical than you think. You may take a second stab at reaching your destination and could gain better traction later in the day. But don’t turn back; inching forward slowly is still much better than turning around and giving up too soon.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may need to field an unexpected curve ball today that impacts your financial condition. Although you might believe that you were doing okay, you could overlook an apparently unimportant detail that suddenly becomes problematic. Fortunately, you can react quickly by coming up with a very unique solution as long as you don’t assume that you are in complete control. Flexibility is your secret weapon now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Venus squares Neptune in sensitive Pisces, tempting you to wear your heart on your sleeve today. But you may be somewhat confused because you aren’t sure if others are reading you correctly or not. Actually, those close to you will be able to sense your emotions before you say anything at all. Avoid overcompensating by talking too much and diluting your message. You can create magic now without uttering a word.

New Moon Report for June 9th –

Venus in Gemini

Thursday, June 9, 7:24 am PDT, 10:24 am EDT

Amorous Venus is friendly, flirtatious and fickle in the sign of the butterfly. Fidelity may flag and attention wanders as attraction to diverse people, ideas and experiences pulls hearts and minds in several directions at once. Conversation is the key to seduction in chatty Gemini where being interesting can be more important than being sincere. Experimenting with new forms of pleasure broadens aesthetic palettes as we seek fresh flavors of fun.

New Moon Report for June 4

Jupiter in Taurus

Saturday, June 4, 6:58 am PDT, 9:58 am EDT

Generous Jupiter lumbers into slow-moving Taurus where greater understanding of the Earth and our bodies awaits. Beliefs are grounded in the simple realities of daily life so we can experience truth in its most basic form. Fuzzy philosophies and airy abstractions tend to drift away in the winds as we seek knowledge that can be applied in the material world. The divide between spirit and matter can be reduced by awareness of our connection with nature. There is less need to search long and far for fulfillment because the potential for contentment is available here and now

Daily Horoscopes for June 3rd

We tend to rely more on our feelings once the Moon enters moody Cancer at 4:36 am EDT. Logic falls to the wayside when rational Mercury forms a conflicting square with spacey Neptune today, decreasing the distinction between fact and fantasy. And, Neptune turns retrograde today, turning up the volume on our dreams. We must tread carefully because we can easily trick ourselves into believing we are happy in order to avoid dealing with the truth.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although things appear to be moving forward at first, your vision seems to be obscured today. You’re ready for action, but it’s hard to tell where you are going now. Even if you intuitively know that it makes sense to cool your jets, your frustration won’t likely dissipate until you start making progress. Nevertheless, it will be easier to head off in a new direction once the fog clears next week.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be losing patience with people who turn small problems into major crises. But even if you know that some damage control is necessary today, you might not be in a position to do what’s required. Rather than pretending you have a sensible plan, ease up on your reins and let events take their own course for now. You will be more effective if you wait until Monday to saddle up and take charge.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You believe that you’re clever enough to lead others successfully. You’re so good at spinning stories now that you could even convince yourself. However, it’s like you’re currently walking through a carnival house of mirrors and your perceptions are bent way out of shape. Stepping back and allowing someone else to take control today can save you from additional complications next week.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you are sympathetic to other people’s feelings, you may try to hide behind a protective shell because the energy is so intense now. The Moon’s return to your sign complicates your life because there are so many crosscurrents that you can’t tell which way to go. Don’t let anyone intimidate you into making a decision prematurely. It’s much easier to change your mind before you commit than after you’ve headed off in the wrong direction.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be a bit befuddled today because you want to take action, yet the flow of energy is predominately inward. The Moon in your 12th House of Soul Consciousness reflects your current need to escape from the hustle and bustle of the outer world. But a difficult situation pressures you to do something about it now. If it seems like you’re riding an emotional rollercoaster, just hold on tightly and wait until your feelings smooth out before letting others know what’s on your mind.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Others often come to you for advice when they need a sharp analytical mind to assess their predicaments. However, you’re the one that’s now seeking a reality check. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on anyone else today, for everyone is just as perplexed as you are. Delay any important decisions that you can, for your mental acuity will return next week.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s challenging to settle your nerves today because your current anxiety is coming from several different sources. Unfortunately, isolating individual problems and solving them won’t address the overall big picture. Instead of seeking solutions that require practical thinking and specific action, you’re better off now to work on improving your attitude. If you can be flexible enough about what is happening, you’ll realize that you don’t have to waste energy worrying about things you cannot control.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may seem as if someone is pushing you into an unwanted leadership role today. You don’t want to take charge now because you’re not really sure about the future. Nevertheless, everyone is still looking to you for direction. You don’t need to pretend that you know more than you actually do. You can still effectively share your current thinking while acknowledging that you don’t have all the answers. Meanwhile, don’t forget to give yourself permission to feel special because your peers truly believe in you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your concern over someone’s behavior today may present a problem. Your temptation is to share your strong opinion, especially if you believe that your ideas can help others see the truth. But it’s not as straightforward as it appears because self-righteousness can lead you astray. The warning signal is thinking that your way is the only way. Keeping an open mind can turn a huge obstacle into a small bump in the road.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be annoyed today about having to deal with associates who won’t acknowledge their real motives. You are able to be flexible now if you know the truth, but you don’t want to draw your conclusions based upon incomplete data. Unfortunately, misinterpretations are likely because the information just isn’t as clear as you want. Stop struggling; your current disorientation will only last for a day or two. In the meantime, cultivate your dreams, instead.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If someone presents you with a problem today, don’t make judgments based upon how you might react in a similar situation. You are wired to be cool and calm, even in a highly charged situation, while others are likely to get caught up in a drama. Be a real friend now and don’t be overly critical; simply listen to their stories and offer your shoulder when needed.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe that you’re being extremely productive and want others to notice what you’re doing. But it’s not a good idea to bring too much attention to yourself now because your work isn’t necessarily as great as you think it is. Your illusions are flowing freely today, testing your ability to maintain a clear perspective. Your desires are warping your perceptions, so lying low and remaining under the radar may be your smartest strategy at this time.
