Your Horoscopes for Saturday, May 16th

by Rick Levine

 

Our dreams are entangled with reality today as romantic Venus conspires with illusory Neptune. Our fantasies can be so sweet that we grow infatuated with our visions of the ideal love. This easy trine between sensual Venus and mystical Neptune adds a spiritual dimension to our personal desires. The reflective Moon enters earthy Taurus at 3:02 am EDT, enriching our attractions to the metaphysical realms without any interference from the mundane world.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a romantic plan in mind that includes someone you love, but he or she might not be all that cooperative when it comes to manifesting your dream. Although you’re tempted to use the art of persuasion, there’s no need to push your agenda today. The first step is to observe your changing emotions without feeling like you must act on every whim. Nevertheless, just because others aren’t willing to join you now, you still have a good chance of finding satisfaction on your own if you choose your goals with great care.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You are likely to learn a lesson in compassion today as gentle Venus harmonizes with ethereal Neptune. However, this kind of dreamy idealism doesn’t come naturally for you Bulls since you prefer to play it safe in the real world. Stretching outside of your comfort zone is well worth the effort now. Widening your perspective and opening your heart won’t place you in any real danger while the practical Taurus Moon is here to keep you grounded. Helping others is a powerful spiritual practice.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone you admire may become your close friend, but first you must be willing to engage him or her in a way that moves beyond the superficial. Others won’t likely accept your charm as a substitute for a real heartfelt connection today, so don’t let your nonchalant attitude distract you from sharing your hopes and dreams. Instead of laughing the moment off, enjoy the beauty of the emotional support that is available to you by embracing the unknown.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Life seems so lovely when you get to sit back and soak in the admiration of others today. Nevertheless, you must also speak up if you expect someone to know what you really want. You might be longing to express your desires but you need to be more comfortable before you reveal anything too deep. If you’re feeling emotionally insecure now, you could clam up and slip away before anyone notices your retreat. Your current challenge is to stay one hundred percent present even when you feel vulnerable. Make the most of the cosmic spotlight and tell others what’s in your heart.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be swept off your feet today and could even fall in love at first sight. However, the entire romance might occur only within your imagination. You’re hesitant to share your feelings with anyone else now because you can’t see anything positive coming from revealing your fantasies. Give yourself permission to explore your desires now, whether or not you express any of them out loud. Listening to your heart is a good place to start, but only time will tell if a relationship is meant to last.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can’t maintain your typical rational perspective today because you’re too busy daydreaming about a perfect romance. And to make matters worse, you are struggling to put your desires into words. Unfortunately, interactions with others seem too shallow now to allow you to express the depth of your feelings. Nevertheless, don’t give up before you even try. Convey your message by whatever means possible; the right person will understand your point perfectly and you will feel better just for being heard.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s a good omen when your friends encourage you to do the very same things you’ve been talking about doing for a long time. Fortunately, you have a lovely opportunity to extend the influence of your magic today in lots of unexpected ways. You could be running on a creative high now, especially if others appreciate your artistic talent and aesthetic eye. Do whatever is necessary to motivate yourself into action while the cosmic momentum is pulling for you. Take center stage and shine like a star.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your basic nature normally prevents you from evading intensity and sidestepping unpleasant issues; however, you’re tempted to keep everything light and easy today. You see great potential everywhere you look, and you don’t want to mess with your current positive trajectory. Remember, your suppressed feelings can be expressed in a gentle manner that’s constructive instead of destructive. Your timing and the tone of your voice make all the difference in the world now when it comes to discussing a difficult topic.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re walking on the sunny side of the street today and everything seems to sparkle with magic. However, it’s all too easy to get lost in a fantasy now, especially if it offers you some of the emotional security you seek. As much as you want to be loved, your need for adventure may stir up uncertainties about your current relationship situation. The more you ignore your concerns, the more intense they become. Paradoxically, staying in touch with your discomfort actually improves your day on several levels. Being authentic is more rewarding than being perfect.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t like the idea of letting down your guard today, even if you secretly would like to try. You are drawn to explore a potentially positive experience, but you feel safer when you play within the formal rules of engagement. Unfortunately, your current dilemma won’t be solved by flipping a coin and making a simple all-or-nothing choice now. Carefully observe when you clench your jaw, contract your muscles or hold your breath. Consciously engage your heart, instead of unconsciously closing it down.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to surround yourself with the finer things in life today, but it’s tough to find the time to pursue pleasure when you still have so many chores to do. Thankfully, you have sufficient energy to do your work; however, your unexpressed desires still could get in the way. Unfortunately, the more you try to concentrate, the more insistent your fantasies become. Stop resisting this call from your imagination and focus on ways to make your dreams come true, instead.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might consider pursuing a romantic relationship now, in reality or within your fantasies. Or, you may be passionate about your current involvement in a creative endeavor while enchanting Neptune trines artistic Venus. Don’t worry about what others think because they are busy trying to navigate their way through the planetary haze. You, on the other hand, can see things as you wish them to be, rather than how they are today. Your limitless imagination is a gift as long as you are aware that you’re wearing rose-colored glasses. Dreams are wishes that your heart makes, but it is up to you to choose which one to chase.

During these next few weeks the fastest way to turn you on will be through your MIND.

Enjoy your happy ending!

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you feel as though you’ve lost your sex drive. You might need to spend more time taking care of your emotional or physical health in order to get your sexy back.

After June 24, you’ll be raring to go again!

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you’re considering a “friends with benefits” situation, you might want to wait another couple of weeks before initiating it. Overall, with Mars moving into your friendship sector, there is a good indication that you and a pal will share extraordinary mutual chemistry. The problem however, is that on Friday, Mars will oppose Saturn and there will be circumstances beyond your control that may put the kibosh on any plans for a good time. Hang in there!

This weekend you will have serious romantic potential. Make plans as early as possible to enjoy a dreamy date night on Saturday with your mate. Attend a movie, art show or concert.

Together, you’ll be the personification of unconditional love.

In this instance, your soul mate will add incredible support as you pursue your aspiration.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your erotic side will become even stronger than it usually is. The difference, however, is that you won’t be so caught up in keeping this part of you under wraps. In fact, until June 24, it will become a priority to get your relationship needs met — both physical and psychological. In other news, you might have a financial standoff with your partner on Friday, but things will get resolved by Saturday. You’ll be sure by then that love can conquer all.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might become more argumentative with your partner than usual. In fact, there could be an ugly standoff between the two of you on Friday that results in a frustrated impasse. Your partner might react in a fiery way at your attempt to control a situation. In your eyes, you’re simply trying to contain things and make a plan, but in your partner’s eyes, you’re bursting his or her bubble. Talk it out.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be on a relationship high this weekend — and you should be. On Saturday, Venus, now in your relationship sector, will be at a perfect angle to Neptune, now in your 3rd House of Communication. A conversation with your partner about your dreams can make you feel extra hopeful about their coming true. That’s because your mate will make it clear that no matter what, he or she has your back. Yes!

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re about to become too hot to handle! On Monday, sexy Mars will enter your 5th House of Romance and Pleasure, where he’ll remain until June 24. During this once-in-two-year transit, you can expect to have more fun than you have in quite some time. You’ll prioritize sexual delights and might enjoy physical escapades to the hilt. The only exception to this will be on Friday, when a friend may try to sabotage your plans. He or she might be jealous.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have every indication of a glittering romantic weekend, but first you may have to contend with a frustrating situation at home. You may become caught up in a fight between relatives and if so, you won’t enjoy being in the middle. Do your best to either remain neutral or help your family hash it out so everyone can clear the air and move on. By Saturday, it’s all about love and you don’t want anything to get in the way of your fairytale happy ending.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, April 29th

by Rick Levine

 

 

General Horoscope

We’re still holding onto the dreams of stability from yesterday’s self-contained Grand Earth Trine. Today’s logical Virgo Moon harmonizes with energetic Mars, blessing us with the stamina to fight for our beliefs. Thankfully, we can assert our wills now without gratuitous aggression; words, rather than guns or swords, are our weapons of choice. Mars and the Sun create supportive alignments with spiritual Neptune, turning us into peaceful warriors.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There’s a stack of chores in front of you and you have high hopes of getting everything done today. However, events may not unfold according to your plans due to circumstances that are beyond your control. Don’t waste time trying to figure out what went wrong because you might not be able to understand it, even if you have all the facts. Nevertheless, your imagination reigns supreme now. Exploring fantasy realms inspires you to loosen the reins and try a new approach to the work at hand. Trusting your instincts leads to greater productivity.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You believe that you are being your most charming self today, but something you say might be misconstrued, creating problems where there previously wasn’t one. You are patient enough to meticulously explain your intentions, but somehow your words can still miss the mark. Your smartest strategy now is to stop trying so hard to convince others to listen. Paradoxically, as you relax your need to prove anything, others will finally get your point.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Discovering a hidden truth can be a real shocker but at least you have a stable emotional framework to soften this unexpected reality check. If interactions with friends are stressed because of a recent disagreement, the dialogue should flow more easily now if you don’t get hung up on unimportant details. But you could also gloss over a significant piece of data that spins a conversation into strange territory. It’s not necessary to force the topic back onto familiar ground today; just be aware of where you stand and how far you’re willing to go.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You’re expected to take the lead on the job today, but someone may hesitate to follow your directions. This lack of support is only one facet of a delicate situation — especially since the negativity that appears to come from others could actually be yours. Reexamine your plans and be open to the possibility that you are facing your own suppressed fear in a projected form. If this is the case, you’re the only one who can change your mind. Believing in yourself is the first step to success.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be operating on autopilot today. It’s not that you aren’t aware of your actions; it’s just that you are spontaneously making choices while you are still in motion. However, you might need to modify your behavior now because you want to be more conscious of why you are deciding one thing and not another. Logical analysis can be constructive as long as you don’t turn it into an obsession that disconnects you from your intuition. Your self-awareness enhances your professional success.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s nearly impossible to understand people’s behavior today because their words don’t seem to match their actions. Confusing relationship dynamics might throw you off course as you try to make all the pieces fit together into a comprehensible picture. Surreal experiences and an overactive imagination can lead you to feeling alienated from others, even if your conversations seem to flow smoothly. Simply acknowledge the gulf between your fantasies and reality; thankfully, just talking about the differences may be enough to bridge the gap.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t like it when someone prods you into doing something that you are not ready to do just yet. Luckily, your current indecision is already starting to wane and a friend or an acquaintance acts as a catalyst by sharing a perspective you hadn’t previously considered. The good news is your intuition may be more on target than you realize when it comes to manifesting your dreams. Make your move while the cosmic forces are working on your behalf.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have the potential to feel passionate about a new project if you are open to the guidance of your imagination and signs from other spiritual dimensions. But you might float through the day in confusion if metaphysical communication isn’t your cup of tea. Your traditional planetary ruler, Mars, is downloading cosmic instructions sent from mystical Neptune today, requiring you to stay receptive to the messages contained in symbols rather than words alone. Fortunately, you can still learn valuable lessons even if you don’t understand the meaning of it all just yet.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may not be easy to maintain your optimism now, but a touch of self-doubt need not be a source of worry. Every once in a while, it’s healthy to consider realistic scenarios and integrate them into your plans to increase your chances for success. It’s absolutely crucial to think critically today, even while dreaming of all the amazing possibilities just around the corner. However, there’s no need to shut off your imagination in order to reach your goals.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re relieved that everything seems to fall into place today as you take care of your domestic chores. But, you might also feel as if you’re just going through the motions and that your mind is wandering elsewhere. Although your inability to concentrate could be somewhat disconcerting, there’s no harm in living in two worlds now. Keep one foot here on Earth while the other one steps off into Fantasyland for a little excursion. A wondrous adventure is waiting for you in your imagination if you’re willing to go there.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s as if you’ve been given a free pass to visit imaginary worlds that you get to create on your own. Whatever indulgence you choose now, sensory stimulation becomes a catalyst for generating vivid fantasies. However, you also have very real obligations to handle today, and you can’t avoid them by burying your head in the clouds. Balancing your desires and your responsibilities is never easy, but if you simply take your time and do it right you can enjoy the escapist behavior of your choice with a clear conscience.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may as well be co-starring in a fantasy movie while your key planet Neptune sends out several scripts from a parallel universe today. You are eager to impress everyone with how well you play your role, but you’re perplexed because you aren’t sure which part is yours. Your real lesson now is about trust. Asking a reliable friend for direction is a good start, but you must put your faith in their advice to earn your place in the spotlight.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, April 24th

 

Aries 

There is a desire to go with the flow and accept things as they are today, Aries, and this comes as a nice break from much of the pressure to get things going that you’ve had lately. Do something creative, physical, or otherwise tension-relieving. Give out the kind of approval and affection you’d like to receive, and it will more likely be returned. If you’ve had difficulty with, or have been holding grudges against, someone in your life recently, good energy is with you today for letting go and moving on. Don’t allow others to rent space in your mind if it’s unhealthy for you. Promoting peace and harmony is important now, and is mutually beneficial. This might also be a strong day for intuiting new ideas about how to handle your finances, although it’s also a time when you are especially attracted to beautiful and/or expensive objects.

Taurus

The Moon in your sign all day brings some pleasing liveliness to your world, Taurus, and it helps that the Moon is making mostly easy aspects today. As well, Venus is your ruler and currently in your sign, which on its own boosts your personal appeal and ability to attract what you want, and it also moving towards a nice aspect with gentle, dreamy Neptune. This serves to pull out your natural healing, gentle nature for all to see and enjoy. If you choose today to work through a problem with someone, it’s quite likely to be successful. Complicated emotional, social, and possibly even financial situations may reach a level of resolve, or improve in some way.

Gemini

 

You could find it quite easy and natural to smooth over tensions today, Gemini. This is a good day for compassionate understanding of matters that have previously frustrated you, as it’s time to let go of anger so that you can move forward and live with yourself more happily. Career matters can be serendipitous, and drawing on past ideas can be successful if you decide to now put them into motion. Love’s complications may be of the pleasant variety right now. This may be a nice day for creativity, but perhaps more so for envisioning something than producing in physical form. The Moon’s position today brings a need for some down time.

Cancer

 

Today, you’re more likely to feel more content and emotionally grounded, Cancer. Forgiveness and grace are reigning over insecurities. Very good energy is with you today for social situations, understanding, and increased faith in your life, as well as your future. You’re reaching out to others more. A pleasing aspect between the goddess of love, Venus, and dreamy Neptune highlights your friendship and adventure sectors, and you may want to take a chance on love and friendship with a kind gesture or expression. Imagination is heightened, and inspiration can be found through friends and through new experiences. Love cues are subtle but there, so keep your eyes open if this is what you are looking for. Challenging relationships could improve and happy ones may get better.

Leo

 

Forgiving and forgetting come more naturally today, Leo. There is calmer energy to the day. Venus and Neptune combine in a pleasant way and affect not only your relationships, which Venus aspects tend to do, but also your business sense and professional appeal. There is an intuitive understanding of others’ feelings and moods, and this affects your dealings with them. There can be a visionary quality to your career or business efforts now. You can engage an audience, group, or important person. You may even mesmerize people on some level now. Keep in mind that the day’s energies favor small advances and subtle moves, rather than bold ones.

Virgo

Love matters can thrive today, Virgo, as you open your heart. Energies of the day favor slowing down and appreciating what you have, while daydreaming about other possibilities as well. It’s a good time for connecting with people who benefit you romantically and/or spiritually. There can be an almost psychic rapport with others now. It’s also a strong time for intuiting how to manage your finances. Someone special may be looking on you quite favorably. The key now is to attract through gentleness and warmth, and you may naturally maintain some emotional distance or an air of mystery. Compassion and understanding are highlighted in your interactions.

Libra

Recent problems tend to smooth out nicely today, dear Libra, as you are more willing to let mysteries unravel at their own pace rather than push to find an answer. You’re also seen in a favorable light today, although not necessarily understood, and this can suit your purposes quite nicely right now. While you may not get things done in a measurable way, this can be a useful day for unwinding and enjoying yourself. The gentler side of your nature is enhanced today, and people around you might even feel that you have healing energy. Others tend to want to be around you. Your day is colored by your imagination or your inner landscape and dreams. There can be good intuition for work, health, and research or analysis.

Scorpio

This is a strong day for consciously choosing to let go of negative thoughts and ideas, Scorpio. Love opportunities can emerge, and it can be a creative, romantic time. You are more intuitive about people and especially sensitive to their feelings. New relationships formed around now tend to have a very pleasing, almost mystical quality, while current relationships can improve as you notice things to appreciate about your lover that you may have previously overlooked. This is a good time for creating, writing, and making art or music, or for appreciating and enjoying imaginative art, theater, writing, and music. Not only is loving Venus in harmonious aspect to dreamy, romantic Neptune, both bodies are stimulating your relationship sectors. It’s a subtle energy, but decidedly positive and hopeful. A warm, gentle approach to others is favored, and in some way, rewarded.

Sagittarius 

Charm levels increase today, Sagittarius, especially if you let things flow naturally rather than push to make things right. Let go of problems and errors right now. There is easy, gentle, and subtle energy with you now, so that charm can be drawn upon to pursue your goals. Connections with others tend to be enhanced, and you may be experiencing some form of psychic rapport or communication. Your social life can be warm and comforting today, and it’s a good time for promoting peace, and possibly beauty, in the work place. It’s also strong for pampering or spa-like treatments. You might take special pleasure in offering your help or services today.

Capricorn

If you play your cards right today, there can be a nice release from stress now, Capricorn. It’s a strong day for communications, especially of the non-verbal kind, so be sure to connect personally, not only through devices. It’s also a good time for romantic expression. Your ability to soothe and heal through your communications can be emphasized. Your perceptions are heightened, and this allows you to understand others on a whole new level. It’s also a good time for coming up with new ideas in your career or business. Your romantic imagination is stimulated now, which can be expressed or applied through relationships or artistic creativity.

Aquarius

This is a strong day for letting go of suspicion and negative thinking – something we all can benefit from. Sympathy for the underdog or stronger compassion for people in your life can be moving today, Aquarius. You may play a supportive role to others, or you could be asked, or you could volunteer, to help a friend in need. Some of you could be making a personal sacrifice of sorts for a loved one, and quite willingly so. Going the extra mile for someone can make you feel stronger. Circumstances are such that spiritual support is much more appreciated, and needed, than physical or practical aid. Today is strong for helping out family members, offering an ear, and for mending broken fences with others. Life is slowing down today, in a good way, and this affords you the opportunity to take in and appreciate your life and the people in it.

Pisces

Healthier and more productive conversations can be experienced today, Pisces, if you need to discuss anything too seriously at all. Sometimes just being around people and letting them do their thing is enough to communicate the best message. Personal magnetism is strengthening. This is a fine day for feeling good about yourself and your relationships. People are tuning in to, noticing, and appreciating the personality traits that you express effortlessly and naturally. Allow your sentimental and gentle nature to emerge – own it, appreciate it, and express it unapologetically. You may feel inspired to help someone in need, and you are more inclined to communicate openly. Your words, and even your nonverbal communications, can be soothing, healing, and very attractive.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for Feb. 21 – 23

Weekend Love Horoscope

February 21-23: Love Inspires

Maria DeSimone   Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

On Friday the Moon will be in sultry Scorpio, allowing your mysterious side to express itself beautifully to your mate — or to your first date! The Moon will be at a perfect angle to love planet Venus which will only support a delicious sex appeal factor. On Saturday however, the Moon makes her way into bouncy Sagittarius and your emotions will be fueled by faith more than mystique. You might crave an exotic experience on Saturday or Sunday, and it’ll be a great weekend to try out that restaurant with your mate that offers unusual cuisine from another culture. You might also think about what next adventure you can take together but don’t book any travel plans just yet — remember that Mercury is retrograde until February 28.

Still, on Sunday it’ll be clear that you’re romantically inspired thanks to the combination of a Sagittarius Moon and the Sun embracing Neptune in Pisces. Spend the day with your lover under the covers sleeping late, indulging in breakfast in bed or your other favorite between the sheets activity! Fantasy rules the day so be sure to share your greatest ones with your sweetheart.

Deity of the Day – Poseidon

Deity of the Day – Poseidon

Poseidon

(Neptune)

Son of Cronos (Saturn) and Rhea, he is represented wielding a trident being pulled by monsters in a chariot. After Zeus’ victory over Cronos (Saturn), the gods, who preferred life on earth, divided the various domains of earth. Poseidon chose the seas. He represented the hidden forces of germination and death. Together with his wife Amphitrite, he had powerful ties with Gaea, the Earth, mother of the Titans. As subterranean Gods, they shook the world from inside. Poseidon caused earthquakes when he made love to his wife. The mystery isle of Atlanta belonged to Poseidon. Poseidon could provoke storms, set fire to rocks on shore and create springs of water. He had many children, most wicked and violent, like the Cyclops of the Oddessy.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 18th

Our emotions may go unexpressed today, but a lack of communication doesn’t reflect a lack of intensity. The hypersensitive Cancer Moon motivates us to care for loved ones, even if it means shielding them from the truth. Meanwhile, cerebral Mercury forms a creative alignment with fuzzy Neptune, making it hard to know exactly what to say. Unfortunately, being overprotective isn’t the smartest strategy to aid in someone else’s personal growth.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re ready to make something happen, but acting in an aggressive manner isn’t such a wise idea today. Rather than rushing into a new project or activity, allow some time to assimilate what has already transpired over the past few days. Even if you want to demonstrate how responsible you are, charging ahead won’t deliver the message of maturity you wish to send. Paradoxically, you can make your point and accomplish more now by slowing down and doing less.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be so sensitive now to what others say that a good friend could rub you the wrong way with a casual remark. Although the comments might actually be directed toward someone else, it still feels as if you’re the one that’s actually being criticized. Over-personalizing what you hear leads to a misinterpretation of the facts. Taking a more laid-back approach to personal interactions allows you to avoid unnecessary problems.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Hiding your emotions gives you enough space and time to consider your reactions without also feeling like you must share them with everyone else. However, the self-contained Cancer Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets indicates that your imagination is more active today than is apparent to others. It’s not necessary to express everything you’re thinking until you are ready to deal with the consequences of what you say. Exploring your dreams is a wonderful way to get in touch with your heart.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You tend to over-analyze everything you want to say today because you’re concerned about what everyone might think. You believe it’s safer to be discreet than to agitate others with something they don’t really need to know. Nevertheless, a conversation could lead you to disclose more than you intend. If so, remember that it’s better to be honest than to cover your tracks with half-truths and innuendos. Speaking with integrity is your best course of action because your real friends expect you to be sincere no matter what.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may have mixed feelings about helping someone less fortunate today. You might resist at first, relying on logic to give reasons why you cannot jump in as requested. Maintaining a sense of humor can be crucial to offering what is needed now, for a good laugh enables you to dissipate the tension while also doing the right thing. Thankfully, you’re able to follow through with useful assistance in the nick of time; be the friend you want to have.

　

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re experiencing uncertainty about an upcoming business trip or vacation as the tentative Cancer Moon visits your 9th House of Travel. You might try to gloss over important details today because you don’t want to cancel a fun adventure. It’s challenging now to keep everything clear so you don’t end up somewhere lost and far from home. Go ahead and continue making your plans, but scale back your expectations to be on the safe side. Trust your instincts to be your guide.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not have an outlet to express the emotional intensity you are feeling today. The needy Cancer Moon can be unsettling as she moves through your 8th House of Deep Sharing, stirring your passions. The problem is that patience doesn’t come naturally for you Archers, making it tough to slow down enough now to see where your feelings take you. However, if you ignore your emotions, they’ll just resurface stronger and be even more difficult to handle the next time around. Confiding in someone you trust may be all you need at this time.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might not be able to avoid a friend or acquaintance who asks for help in solving an emotional problem today, even if you would prefer to sidestep this potentially complex situation. But your natural assumption that you need to fix anything is not true. Instead of taking over, encourage others to talk and then show your support just by listening. You don’t have to do anything except receive what’s being said with an open mind and a compassionate heart.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be willing to wait patiently today for something you want because you believe there’s a better chance of finding satisfaction once you can see the whole picture. But the current dynamics aren’t about denying your desire for pleasure; it’s more to do with realizing your dreams. Impulsively taking action could create more problems than good times. Being cautious is wise as long as you don’t let any significant opportunities slip through your fingers in the process.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 17th

Whenever possible, it is always advantageous — from the spiritual perspective — to know the exact time of the Full Moon. This month’s high-tide of the solar-lunar cycle occurs at 1:29AM — activating 26 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini. At or close to the official time, send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity in need of enlightenment. Think more about fulfilling your higher destiny and what your main role may be in the giant scheme of things.  Adding to the unusual quality of this day is that the Full Moon moment starts an 8+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 10:18AM when the lunar orb enters Cancer. It is during the unsettled conditions of the void Moon that Uranus at 9 degrees of Aries makes a station — shifting from retrograde to direct motion. [Uranus will keep moving ahead in the zodiac until July 21, 2014 when it will once again reverse itself at 17 degrees of Aries.]  All Uranus themes — revolution and radical change, ingenuity and intuition, inventions, the multi-media, high-technology and computers, avant-garde and eccentric thinking, the unexpected, jokers and jesters, surprises, shock waves, rebellion, agitation and breakdowns (especially regarding the nervous system) — are emphasized throughout the day.  Once the Moon enters its natural abode of Cancer (10:18AM), home and family interests wax in power. However, the obfuscating powers of another outer planet — this time Neptune — come into play as this ancient God of the Seas forms a caustic, 135-degree link with Jupiter (2:20PM). This dicey interaction between major celestial bodies only adds to the carnival-like quality of this Tuesday in December. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 4th

As the day begins, anxiety and stress seem to have the upper hand due to an off-kilter, 150-degree alignment taking place between Pallas in Virgo and Uranus in Aries (12:49AM). Avoid mental fatigue and exhaustion around the time of this celestial contact. Better vibrations intrude into your life thereafter — thanks to the Moon in Capricorn forming a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Neptune in Pisces (3:09AM) while the Moon parallels Mercury (3:44AM) and the Sun makes a 60-degree constructive aspect with Ceres (4:16AM). The Moon-Neptune connection stimulates your psychic sensitivity and creative imagination while the other two aspects can give your correspondence a noticeable lift and enhance your productivity across the board.  Think of bold ways to promote your worldly stature as the Moon makes it monthly conjunction with distant Pluto (3:20PM). Tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration — with an absence of egocentric, know-it-all pride — is one good way of working positively with energy coming from the key planet that rules the unconscious realms of humanity’s intelligence.  The enthusiastic vibes of Sagittarius gain a new cheerleader as Mercury enters this sign (6:43PM) until December 24. Maintain your thinking, attitudes and five senses operating on the highest levels of fortitude and ingenuity. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Celebrating Other Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Festivals of Neptune and Pietas (1st & 2nd)

Witchy Cat Graphics & Comments
December 1 and 2

Festivals of Neptune and Pietas

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.

–Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not rightly understand.

–Leonardo Da Vinci

December 1 celebrated the festivals of Neptune and Pietas. This festival was the equivalent to the one that was held on July 23 at the temple dedicated to Neptune in the Circus Flaminus within the Campus Martius. There would have been games, a sacrifice and more than likely, some sort of horse and chariot race.

Pieta, a Roman Goddess who was the personification of respectful duty, is often portrayed in human form and sometimes accompanied by a stork, the symbol of diferential duty. She was frequently represented on coins, which were considered to be a symbol of the reigning emperor’s virtues. Her temple was in the Circus Flaminus and later at the Forum Holitorium, where her December 1 festival was held.

It was on the 1st of December in 1750 that seven men (for a wager) buttoned themselves into the waistcoat of Mr. Edward Bright of Maldon, Essex, who had expired at the age of 29 and was considered to be the fattest man that ever lived in Britain.

On December 2, Tibetan Buddhists make their annual pilgrimage to the world’s oldest tree in what it known as Bodh Gaya. The tree was planted in 282 B.C., and is believed to be an offshoot of the Bodhi tree–the tree that the Buddha sat under when he attained enlightenment.

Sagittarian Dreams – Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Sagittarian Dreams

Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of sun, sagittarius, astrology

The Sun shifts from deep-feeling Scorpio to farseeing Sagittarius on November 21, marking a turn away from the reflective side of emotions and toward a dynamic expression of our aspirations.

Scorpio is a glass-half-empty zodiac sign that tends to combine concerns from the past and pressures of the present to interpret life as a struggle. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is able to ignore yesterday — and in some cases even the present — to project hope forward to a more desirable future.

The likelihood for fulfillment grows

Transforming Scorpio-style fears into Sagittarian dreams doesn’t happen automatically, though. Even if the shifting cosmic tides start flowing in an optimistic direction, we’re as likely to get lost in them as we are to find the happiness that we seek. Yet when we do Scorpio’s work of diving into our desires, assessing our resources and establishing priorities, the likelihood of achieving fulfillment grows.

This is not a process of denying doubts and fears, but one of examining them, determining which, if any, are useful, and letting go of those that have outlived their usefulness. Eliminating these negatives seems like it should be easy, yet we often are so identified with our wounds that we resist releasing them and turning our lives in a new direction. So much of who we think we are is enmeshed in a sense of limits where even the most consciously desirable freedoms are often resisted.

Do your dreams have a chance of coming true?

Refusing to look forward and dive into the future is only one way we hold back the tides of change. Another way to ensure our lives stay the same is to invest in dreams that have little likelihood of turning into reality. The potential to get lost in clouds of illusion is common with the Sun in Sagittarius, especially this week, when it squares nebulous Neptune on Sunday. This is an indirect and usually unconscious way to undermine progress, because the reward for failing to advance is getting to stay where we are.

A secret to bringing Sagittarian visions down from the clouds is to use the concentrated powers of Scorpio. The focus and determination of the latter cuts through the promises of the former, tapping into the essence of our aspirations. Scorpio is not about what we like; it’s about what we absolutely need. When a dream goes from being a vague hope to a detailed picture of desire, it finds the soil in which it can take root. The obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals are broken down by the intense commitment and drive that’s at the heart of Scorpio.

Look back with courage and forward with faith

When we think about the future, we usually don’t want to look back. Yet when we use the model of the zodiac sign preceding the one that we’re in, we will often determine whether we advance, stay stuck or regress. The promises of Sagittarius grow from the depths of Scorpio, and it will draw sustenance from the hunger or struggle it represents.

This reminds us that there’s little value in drawing a line between positive and negative, as they are essential parts of one another. The alchemy of achievement is created when both the faith to look forward and the courage to look back are a stirred together in the pot of possibility.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 21st

With a major portion of today occurring with the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio, it is a good time to reflect on your gains and losses of the past four weeks. Have you excelled at exploring the depths of your consciousness in order to eliminate old fears and doubts that may be blocking the flow of your creative artistry? Are you more adept at tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration to be an entrepreneur with clout and finesse?  Steer clear of questionable investment offers as Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with often hazy Neptune (7:43AM). The Moon in Cancer continues a primary focus on healing old family wounds and pains.  A big change happens at 7:49PM when the Sun leaves watery Scorpio for fiery Sagittarius. Don’t be too surprised if you feel a sense of relief that some of the recent tensions may be in the process of dissolving away. A happy-go-lucky disposition is the right frame of mind to have during the monthly lunar conjunction with providential Jupiter (8:00PM).  Avoid overdoing a good thing a couple of hours later when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (10:17PM). Keep a low profile overnight and avoid the social scene as the Moon begins a void uncertainty zone at 11:12PM that lasts until 3:58PM tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Neptune Direct – Life gets hazy as nebulous Neptune moves forward

Neptune Direct

Life gets hazy as nebulous Neptune moves forward

Tarotcom Staff Tarotcom Staff on the topics of neptune, astrology

A fog is rolling in. You see, nebulous Neptune is the planet of illusion and confusion, and it’s been retrograde for the past five months. During this time of clear sight, life has felt all too real. But now, when Neptune goes direct on November 13, 2013, we’ll be able to dip back into that lovely fantasy world we prefer to reality.

What are we talking about?

See, Neptune is the planet that protects us from reality when it’s too harsh. Neptune gives us faith, spirituality and dreams. So when it’s retrograde we see things very clear and find it harder to escape. Sure, we may get more accomplished, but it’s a bit uncomfortable.

Neptune Direct, on the other hand, gives us a break. It’s sort of encouraging us to live in denial and ignore the nagging fears we don’t feel quite ready to deal with. But that’s OK, because it does inspire our imaginations and gives us faith.

There is a dark side to Neptune Direct, as there is any time you choose fantasy over reality. And that is we may take our escapism too far and delude ourselves into doing the wrong things — like staying in bad relationships or jobs. But if we try to think a little bit more objectively during the next five months we can avoid that pitfall.

Use this time instead to appreciate your ability to dream and the expressions of compassion you meet. Neptune wants to show you the ideal beauty in the world, and this is your chance to let go and feel your way through it with all your heart.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wed., November 13th

Strange forces are definitely on the prowl after the recent stations by Jupiter (November 6) and Mercury (November 10), and a Grand Triangle in water signs — composed of the Sun, Moon and Jupiter — yesterday morning. Now it is Neptune’s turn to heavily influence humanity by stopping its retrograde cycle at 3 degrees of Pisces (10:43AM) and gradually beginning to turn forward. [Neptune stays direct until June 9, 2014 when it stops again at 8 degrees of Pisces and then goes retrograde until November 15, 2014 — pausing to go forward at 5 degrees of Pisces.]  All Neptune themes — imagination, psychic sensitivity, idealism, dream and visions, film-video work, cameras and photography, the fine arts, music and dance, spiritual and mystical studies, bodies of water, but also confusion, chaos, nebulosity, illusions, fantasy, lies, fanaticism, and being hooked on drugs, alcohol and other detrimental substances — are powerful at the exact time of the Neptune station and all-day long as well. Therefore, accentuating crystal clear communication and staying on target with your plans is one way to avoid cloudy conditions that are causing widespread uncertainty across the globe.  Uranus and its potency as a catalyst in awakening higher intuition and genius can be part of today’s rescue team as the Moon unites with this alarm-clock like planetary body in fiery Aries at 4:06PM. Tune into advances on the cutting edge of science, medicine and metaphysics. Check out the latest gizmos and gadgets at high-tech stores or online resource centers.  Steer clear of temperamental individuals who may be losing their cool as the Moon parallels the red planet Mars (7:56PM). Be a warrior for creating world peace if you feel the need to fight for something that will help humanity on its evolutionary arc in the cosmos.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, November 10

Creativity soars today and imagination runs away with the show. Mercury is apparently standing still as it ends its retrograde phase which began on October 21. During these last three weeks, mental Mercury asked us to look back, reconsider plans and tie up loose ends. Now it’s time to look ahead, but Mercury’s trine to dreamy Neptune, combined with the Moon’s shift into illusory Pisces at 9:36 pm EST, makes it tricky to know what’s real.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have been engaged recently in some pretty serious thinking about your life whether or not anyone else realizes it. It’s not that your search for deeper meaning is over today, but it is now time to shift gears and turn your philosophical search into something more practical. Knowing the truth is a great start, but can lose its value quickly unless you apply your wisdom in ways that matter.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Relationships might exhibit a fated quality these days as circumstances take on a life of their own. However, maintaining control over others is not a viable strategy, since you won’t be able to stop the inevitable anyway. Instead of struggling to cling to your agenda, embrace the coming changes; they can bring you more exciting opportunities than you currently realize. Trust the process and let go.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

There really isn’t a graceful way to escape the work that needs to be done now, so save your sweet talking and tap dancing for another day. Your clever charm is not going to serve you well today, even if you’re feeling extra witty. Actions speak louder than words. The sooner you start your chores, the more time you’ll have later to kick back and enjoy yourself.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Responsibilities may prevent you from having too much fun today, even if your idea of relaxation is to just hang out at home with a loved one. You know what you want, but could run into unexpected obstacles. If your satisfaction is delayed, don’t waste precious energy fretting. Channel your energy wisely for the best results. Rest assured that you’ll get your just rewards soon enough.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might not say everything you feel today because you’re exploring recent private moments that could have unresolved issues attached to them. Allow yourself the luxury of dredging up old memories without having to rewrite history just so you can fix what went wrong. You will soon be involved with new and pleasurable experiences, so just let your mind meander down Memory Lane while you can. A sentimental journey could do you a world of good.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Separating the useful information from all the superfluous data is uncharacteristically difficult now. Every little item seems important, but there’s just too much of it to make sense. Nevertheless, sift through what you know, even if it’s a struggle, and set aside everything but the most essential facts. Rely on the basics and you’ll be able to make the best choices for your future.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you have been procrastinating about any financial matters, today might be your last chance for a while to take care of unfinished business. You are being drawn into other pressing issues that are developing now as Mercury moves direct in your 2nd House of Possessions. Don’t wait; you may not have a lot of time to go back and redo what should have already been done. The sooner you finish, the better you’ll feel.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your intense communication style might be more than others prefer now, but they may just have to take you just as you are. You’re not in a negotiating mood because you realize that your perceptions are even more acute than usual. Don’t back down if you believe that your conclusions are sound. Nevertheless, remember that applying gentle persuasion will still work better than issuing ultimatums. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although things are looking up, you still may have serious business to take care of today. Stay focused on your long-term goals now and don’t let your frustration get the best of you. The next few days mark a turning point as your subconscious mind sends you powerful messages about your future. Steady persistence is more important now than unbridled enthusiasm. Dig deep and give it all you got.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your contemplative attitude feels more comfortable today to you than it might to anyone else. Your cautiously reserved behavior brings up issues for someone who wants you to act in a more happy-go-lucky manner. But it won’t help if you wear a smile just to please other people. You can’t go wrong if you stick with what your instincts tell you now. Your authenticity is your greatest asset.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your passionate words may have more impact today than you expect. However, you’re not even sure that you fully believe what you said just a few minutes ago. You aren’t purposefully misleading anyone; it’s just that your logical conclusions are not supported by what you feel in your heart now. Nevertheless, you know you must speak the truth as you experience it in the moment, for maintaining your integrity is what matters most.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your x-ray vision allows you to see right through any sort of cover-up today, but the question is what do you do with the information you possess? The answer can be found in your attitude. It won’t work if you try to show someone what you think they need to know. If, on the other hand, you offer a different perspective without declaring that it is the only path to follow, then you can help people by expanding their options. Sharing your knowledge freely inspires others to do the same.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, November 10th

The cosmos is certainly on the wacky end of the astro-psychic spectrum during this unusual weekend. Trying to make your agenda the law of the land is likely to fall on deaf ears. Pursuing unrealistic objectives when the Moon is void — following a 90-degree clash of the Sun and Moon at their First Quarter Phase last night — is also a non-starter and likely to boomerang were it ever to get going in the first place.  On the other hand, enjoying a time-period for reflection and having a leisurely breakfast while putting old worries out of your mind can make a lot of good sense. No matter whether you are feeling elated or confused, watch the clock around 1:15PM when Mercury leaves retrograde status at 3 degrees of Scorpio, and begins a gradual shift into forward motion. [Mercury won’t go into reverse again until February 6, 2014 when the Messenger of the Gods planet will go retrograde at 4 degrees of Pisces in a three-week reversal that lasts until February 28, 2014 when Mercury will stop to go forward at 19 degrees of Aquarius.]  All of today’s Mercury themes — communications and correspondence, learning programs and information exchange, classes and primary school education, business and trade, health and medicine, transportation, hand-eye coordination, flexibility and adaptability, breathing and respiratory conditions, temperature and air-wind changes, magic tricks, sleights of hand and thefts — are energized not only at the exact time of the station at 1:15PM, but all day long.  Once the Moon leaves void status in Aquarius by entering Pisces (6:37PM), be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Try your hand at fixing one of grandma’s old-world recipes for clam or corn chowder and muffins. Reading, writing and watching favorite film classics are promoted later on when the Moon trines Mercury in water signs (10:59PM) and the lunar orb makes its monthly union with Neptune (11:06PM). Keep a notebook of profound dreams, visions and out-of-the-body excursions with Neptune — the ancient God of the Seas and ruler of psychic-imaginative abilities — running the show as Sunday night morphs into Monday morning. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, November 9th

We have to set aside our emotions today so we can focus on the practical aspects of our lives as go-getter Mars sextiles taskmaster Saturn. Creating a concrete plan, combined with hard work, ensures progress. Meanwhile, in direct contrast, a visionary Mercury-Neptune alignment heightens our fantasies and invites us into the dreamy poetic realms. The intelligent Aquarius Moon enables us to use our imaginations without losing touch with reality.

　

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are in the driver’s seat now because you know the full consequences of what you are doing. You recently had the opportunity to consider all your options before choosing your present course of action. The potential rewards may be quite satisfying, although it could take more time than you think for your labors to bear fruit. Setting a sustainable pace today is more important than your actual production, so keep your eyes on the future and your shoulder to the wheel.

　

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re not interested in anything superficial now because you want to see tangible results from your extra effort. Unfortunately, confusion can catch you off guard today if the distance between your optimism and reality is too much. Adopt a logical and balanced approach and pay attention to the details. There is great potential for success if you maintain a positive attitude and keep your common sense close at hand.

　

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Whatever you say today could be less important than your actions. Your behavior not only speaks louder than your words, it also has longer lasting consequences. Nevertheless, you have a significant opportunity now, but it might not be obvious at first. No matter what happens, be creative as you tell your story. Dream out loud and share what’s on your mind. You may be pleasantly surprised with the wonderful response you receive.

　

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You have an interesting choice to make today as your plans come up for reconsideration. It would be easier if you were the only person involved, but someone else’s needs must also be included. Opening your mind to reexamine your goals from a wider perspective can be very enlightening as you see possibilities that you previously overlooked. Don’t say no too quickly to anything that comes your way or you could miss a wonderful opportunity to further develop your evolving life strategy.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There is so much happening that it tests your ability to remain calm and it might be somewhat disconcerting now as you try to keep it all together. Harmonious aspects conspire to clear the path toward your destination, but doing the work is still, ultimately, your responsibility. Your schedule is so full that you may consider sleeping less just to squeeze everything in. Things will slow down in a few days, but in the meantime, make sure you get some much-needed rest.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Someone at work may be acting overly sweet toward you today and you might not know what to do about it. Your uncertainty could stem from an overall lack of clarity about what you want. Or maybe the other person’s intentions are questionable. Either way, your smartest strategy is to explore all avenues before deciding your course of action. Luckily, your reasoning is sound now, even if the options are confusing at first. Once you’ve considered the pros and cons, make your choice and stick to it.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s hard to feel satisfied with just having a nice experience today; you crave something that goes beyond the ordinary. Even if you finish your work early, you still won’t be able to fully enjoy yourself. However, you are currently blessed with the patience to wait for the right moment and the drive to follow through on your plan. Once you know that the timing is right, don’t hesitate to make your move. If your intentions are clear, your mind can turn your fantasies into reality.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your creative juices are flowing and it’s wise to find ways to concentrate on your self-expression. But this kind of sharing isn’t just about personal issues; it’s time to set new goals and then pursue them. Yet, even if you are overcommitted, you can still do what needs to be done. There is major assistance coming your way from the hidden realms of your own subconscious world. The spiritual growth and psychological work you have done in the recent past may be put to good use in the present.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unfortunately, you may be doing more armchair traveling today than real trekking around the globe. However, as your vision expands, you might miss important details or gloss over data that you don’t have time to integrate. Luckily, you could make a lot of progress now by saving money for a future trip. Remember that sometimes the planning stage of a getaway can be nearly as much fun as the real thing; take your time and enjoy the anticipation while it lasts.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you might be uncharacteristically laid-back at work today, you still need to juggle your personal and business worlds while keeping the two of them apart. But don’t miss the powerful opportunity to make something special happen, since you have the right balance between intention and follow-through now, enabling you to accomplish whatever you initially set out to do. Make sure that you have your facts straight, but don’t get too hung up in the details. Share your vision as you let your inner poet or philosopher out of the closet.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be inclined to spend money on something you don’t really need today. Buying a gift for yourself is a lovely thing to do, but you might be drawn toward purchasing an item that is more extravagant than you can afford. Ask yourself whether or not your potential purchase is really such a good idea before you face possible regrets in a few days. Ironically, exercising a bit of self-restraint works to your advantage in the long run.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although it’s wonderful to fuel your life with your dreams, don’t let it be an excuse to be completely unrealistic. It’s as if you must maintain a double existence now. You have your head up in the clouds, but need to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground since it’s tempting to escape to another world. However, you still must pay careful attention to the process or your best ideas will only get lost. Thankfully, you can go anywhere your imagination carries you while riding this powerful spiritual wave.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 9th

Be prepared for a weekend of ups, downs, and a wild ride in general. Mars decides that working harmoniously with Saturn — via a supportive, 60-degree link to Saturn (3:58AM) — is better than being angry and contentious. This Mars-Saturn rapport can help you be more hands-on and pragmatic with key business matters. A wave of productivity follows — due to Ceres making an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Jupiter (4:32AM).  However, this positive Ceres-Jupiter aspect is somewhat neutralized by an off-kilter, 150-degree tie from Ceres to Neptune (9:13AM) — a contact that can temporarily increase nebulous thinking and behavior patterns. Fortunately, just 24 minutes later at 9:37AM, the Moon in Aquarius makes its monthly union with Juno — offering emotional empowerment in your primary partnerships. Plus, this Moon-Juno link-up favors your exploring the latest styles influencing the fashion realm.  Despite some of today’s haziness, antique hunters and collectible aficionados can delight in searching for overlooked treasures at estate sales and art fairs as Mercury approaches a flowing trine to Neptune (forming exactly at 1:36PM). This Mercury-Neptune rapport can boost your psychic abilities and creative imagination. Pallas entering Virgo (4:18PM) places a renewed focus on problem-solving via fine-tuned analysis, meticulous study and extensive research.  The arrival of the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (9:58PM and activating 18 degrees of Scorpio and Aquarius) is a signal to cut through apparent obstacles blocking your path. Strive to manage your business affairs with greater finesse. Adding an extra note of uncertainty to the late-evening environment is that this First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase also begins a 20+ hour void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 6:37PM tomorrow.  Mercury is about to turn direct tomorrow and will do so at 1:15PM on Sunday during the void lunar twilight zone. Why the universe puts humanity into these strange circumstances beyond anyone’s personal control remains unknown. Hang in there overnight and keep hope alive.

Your Daily Horoscopes for November 8th

Something is odd today as otherworldly feelings linger from yesterday’s fantasyland excursion, stirring up the winds of fate. However, the steady Capricorn Moon ensures that we can keep our feet planted firmly on the ground until 6:29 pm EST when she shifts into quirky Aquarius. Unusual rumblings grab our attention and, perhaps, snatch the reins of control out of our hands. However, we don’t give up easily and may overcompensate on the rebound.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are poised to catch the wind to points unknown today, but at least you can tell which way the breezes are blowing. Nevertheless, once you’re soaring, you might discover that the currents aren’t quite as stable as you first assumed. But coming down isn’t as straightforward as getting airborne. Relax and enjoy the ride, even if you no longer have a clue as to where you are going.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although your well-known determination may not be enough to guarantee your success, you still have high hopes for reaching your goals today. Rather than relentlessly pushing toward a singular destination, pay attention to what’s being revealed by the changing circumstances. Remember, it’s more important to remain light on your feet and willing to switch direction on a moment’s notice than to doggedly drive toward an objective that no longer makes sense.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Another person’s idealistic approach could open your mind to a whole new way of looking at things today. Fortunately, you are very receptive to what is being said and something you discover now can have a lasting impact on your life. It’s like you are being supplied with a missing piece of data that enables everything to fit into place. Although you are learning about the truth, spending a few more days gaining perspective might just prevent you from jumping into a situation you don’t yet fully understand.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The hold that someone has over you is reinforced today by the authoritative Capricorn Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners. But events can take interesting twists and turns, shifting the center of power from others to you. Nevertheless, tread carefully; being in control isn’t as great as it appears to be. If possible, find a supportive copilot so you don’t have to do all the work on your own. Sharing responsibilities lightens the load and increases the joy for everyone involved.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have many wonderful ideas today, but they aren’t necessarily very practical ones. Your irrepressible idealism is the driving force behind your current creativity now, but it could also lead you astray. This isn’t the time for idle daydreaming. You must take action, even if you’re not yet sure of your goals. Trust your instincts and have faith that you’re heading in the right direction.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Establishing objectives in your personal life now is as important as creating them within your career. If you don’t have any specific goals, you’ll just flounder around aimlessly without direction. Don’t be a casualty of your potential professional success; your life will be more meaningful if you can find a healthy balance between your job and your family. One cannot live on bread alone.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The overall spiritual buzz today is kind of cool, but it can be tiring to keep your mind on the more ethereal side of life. The Moon’s evening entry into conceptual Aquarius feels like a breath of fresh air, but you can’t help but think that something strange is going on. Don’t succumb to self-doubt when wondering if your perceptions of the dream world are actually valid. Just live your life knowing that your visions are as real as you allow them to be. Believe in something with all your heart and it might just come true.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could have big plans involving your friends today. Maybe you are considering a trip or making final arrangements for a social gathering. But there are subtle influences now that can make your choices more complicated, especially if you don’t fully understand how all the pieces fit together. Take your time and get everyone’s opinion first; the need to hurry is more arbitrary than you realize.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You appear to be straightforward in your actions and true to your words yet there’s still more going on today than reaches the surface. Your friends may jump to erroneous conclusions, but their false assumptions are easy to fix once they are out in the open. However, problems might arise if something is left unsaid. A bit of honest feedback on your part can help, but don’t belabor your point. Share your advice and move on.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you are keeping a secret you may make a big fuss about something unimportant now just to distract everyone’s attention from lingering on the real deal. But you can only play the shell game for so long because it drains too much of your psychic energy. Consider what emotions might be stirred by sharing your vulnerability. Don’t just blurt out your truth without having a sensible strategy that leads to healthy closure. Finding the right person to trust is your key to success.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are probably quite social today, yet your interactions with others could take you in a totally unexpected direction. However, you don’t want to let go of your personal goals. Ironically, the more it appears that you are in control, the greater the gap between your expectations and reality. Trusting in the process is always a smart idea, but it will require focus and follow-through to make your dreams come true.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your actions at work have been pretty transparent recently because your objectives are clear and you’re determined to get what you want. But the Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Invisibility today increases the level of complexity to what you’re doing. Be careful; sending mixed signals can become a hazard if there’s something that you’re trying to hide. It’s safer to be honest and let others know what’s on your mind

November’s Monthly Horoscope Forecast

November’s Monthly Forecast

By Rick Levine and  Jeft Jawer

November 2013 Horoscope

Open yourself to change

The rumblings of change grow stronger this month as revolutionary Uranus and transformational Pluto form the fourth of seven world-shaking squares on November 1. It’s a reminder that standing still is not the best option for individuals and institutions. Yet it’s smart not to make a radical move without carefully considering the consequences.

The Sun’s presence in Scorpio until November 21 should be helpful, because this transit brings us deeper within ourselves where we recognize unmet desires and untapped resources that motivate action. Responsible Saturn is also in Scorpio, signaling the importance of giving up some uninspiring comfort to aim for more fulfilling life experiences.

Questioning your values and expectations is not meant to undermine self-confidence, but to ensure a profound recognition of needs so that you will do what’s necessary to satisfy them. If you have any doubts about where to invest your energy, you may get an answer on November 1 as retrograde Mercury, the communication planet, joins the Sun. This is a time of reassessment of your purpose and goals, showing you where to make adjustments if recent plans have gone awry.

Brace for the Solar Eclipse

November 3 could be the most important day of the month. It’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio that can inspire focus and efficiency. The first step is to let go of ideas and attitudes that are stuck in the past. An eclipse in intense Scorpio suggests that it’s better to risk burning a few bridges than to remain so anchored to people and projects that you cannot move.

There are some very productive influences at this time that are bound to reward individuals who narrow their focus and maintain disciple and persistence in pursuit of their goals. Reinforcements come when pleasure-loving Venus enters responsible Capricorn on November 5 and the Sun joins serious Saturn on November 6. These could be interpreted as stern, sad or restraining, yet both indicate that earning respect and eschewing immediate rewards for bigger long-term gains are recommended.

Amorous Venus in dutiful Capricorn is also about working harder in relationships by raising goals and standards to a higher level. However, we still may be muddling through unclear communications and minor snafus until Mercury turns direct on November 10. This forward turn occurs with the messenger planet forming favorable trines with imaginative and compassionate Neptune, which is excellent for delicate conversations, creativity and forgiveness.

Jupiter inspires faith

Hopes and dreams continue to expand even while the Sun is still in somewhat skeptical Scorpio. A solar trine to optimistic Jupiter on November 12 broadens vision and inspires faith in the future. Spiritual Neptune’s forward shift on November 13 supports a more uplifting and creative view of the future. Relationships could be a little rocky on November 14-15, though, when Venus slams into tense aspects with disruptive Uranus and Pluto. Flexibility is needed to adapt to changes of moods and interests to maintain reason and calm under dramatic circumstances.

Fortunately, the earthy Taurus Full Moon on November 17 aims to calm emotions and put feet back on solid ground. Ideally, this is a chance to find a new balance between pleasure and practicality.

Sagittarius promises adventure

The Sun’s move into fiery Sagittarius on November 21 spurs an interest in adventure that encourages us to take risks. Pushing past old personal and professional limits that were constrained by doubts and fears opens hearts and minds to wider horizons.

Enthusiastic Sagittarius paints pictures of a more exciting future that is energized by enthusiasm and hope. The need to throw off the shackles of boring routines and low expectations could spark some risky behavior, but it’s better to take some chances than to stand still. Even if we fall short of our expectations, we’re stretching muscles of personal growth that are bound to enrich our lives.

While the Sun’s square to nebulous Neptune on November 24 may temporarily cloud good judgment, discerning Mercury’s conjunction with responsible Saturn restores reason and intellectual order the following day.
