If we are gauging the power of each 24-hour time-period from the vantage point of challenging versus supportive aspects, then today is very potent, but with the tendency toward discord. The reason is that the two largest celestial bodies — the Sun in Virgo and Jupiter in Gemini — are in a 90-degree formation or, literally, at cross purposes (3:16AM PDT). That kind of cosmic set-up alone would be suffice to make this a precarious day on Planet Earth when you would need to be extra careful and monitor your behavior to avoid saying or doing something to offend a family member, friend or colleague. Arrogance, greed and self-centeredness are out; magnanimity and humility are in. However, you also have to jump through other celestial hoops as Pallas squares Pluto (6:07AM PDT), Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to far-out Neptune (1:54PM PDT) while Mercury is contra-parallel Saturn (2:05PM PDT). As the modern saying goes, with friends like these who needs enemies? The bottom line is that you need to visualize yourself as a hurdler in the Olympics, leaping high to go over those gates in your path in order to make it to the finish line and win some kind of medal. Eight celestial bodies are attempting to wreak havoc and your job is to be a Rock of Gibraltar for dear ones under duress and needing assistance. Fortunately, the Sun chimes in with an inspirational, 72-degree rapport to Juno (11:44PM PDT). Will this be a case of too little too late? Perhaps, but it is at least a step in the right direction of trying to empower human beings instead of undermining their confidence and sense of self-worth.
Your Horoscopes for Saturday, September 1
It’s hard to know what to think as the tug-of-war between reality and fantasy continues. The illusory Pisces Moon draws us into the realms of imagination. However, communication grows even murkier when rational Mercury opposes spacey Neptune this afternoon. It’s difficult to stay logical when we are immersed in the stuff of dreams. Relationships can get tricky now because there’s a fine line between sharing idealist visions and enabling delusions.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You must find ways to express what’s in your imagination today with the surreal Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Fantasy. However, your current desire to escape reality also makes it difficult to follow through with your chores because you would rather be daydreaming than anything else. It can be quite a challenge to channel this slippery energy as material from your subconscious comes to the surface. Thankfully, fulfilling your obligations first frees you up to explore more interesting activities later on.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your life may appear quite differently to your friends than it does to you. Oddly enough, the more you try to unveil the truth of your feelings today, the more you confuse everyone else. Fortunately, if you can rise above your need to set the record straight, you could be an inspiration to others. It’s more important to cooperate with your cohorts now than it is to be right.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
A lack of clarity may cloud your thinking, but you should be able to make the most of your day anyhow if you pay attention to the potential pitfalls. You are ultra-sensitive now and irrational feelings are flooding into your thoughts. Even your sensory impressions can be overwhelming and confusing. Forget about balancing your checkbook or planning the rest of your life; write poetry, listen to music, and dream about your future, instead.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You have fantasies about cutting loose and doing something special. If you haven’t had a real vacation in a while, maybe it’s time to start planning your next getaway. However, you must balance your dreams with a bit of realism if you want them to come true. But don’t be too hard on yourself if you cannot figure out all the logistics today. Let your vision grow unencumbered by facts for a while; there will be time later on to fill in the details.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Be careful because you may be easily misled today by someone you trust. Keep in mind that no one is out to purposefully trick you, but others can inadvertently confuse you if they don’t check all their facts. Furthermore, your logic is blurred by a sudden attraction to fame or fortune. But don’t be distracted by the possibility of your name in lights. Forget about ego concerns and concentrate on taking care of business.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your ruling planet Mercury is stressed by its opposition to nebulous Neptune today. Your analytical thinking may not be as sharp as it normally is. In fact, reality could be just slightly out of your grasp now, with your mind working overtime in the realms of fantasy. This isn’t necessarily detrimental as long as you remember the difference between fact and fiction.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
It’s quite a dreamy day with the Moon traveling through psychic Pisces, which should lighten up nearly any situation, especially if you can find a way to work off some of your excess energy. Your fantasies are so convincing now that it’s difficult to discern the truth. It’s not a great time to trust your own logical thoughts because they are more subjective than you might realize. Your antidote is to do something that allows you to physically engage in fun and return to the real work tomorrow.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your romantic landscape can become foggy and fraught with traps of misunderstanding today. Do your best to be clear in all your communications with others, without necessarily being overly aggressive about it. You could even fall in love with something or someone if you let your guard down. It’s probably safer to seek pleasure from the creative arts now than from relationships, for nothing is quite as it seems.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are already on your way to doing something exciting and daring today. You carry an air of spontaneity about you now — even more so than usual. Although your idealism might attract interesting people, it’s hard to find someone who shares your perspective. Don’t worry if you need to say no to a current offer. Limiting your options helps you to accomplish more in the long run than you thought possible.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It might be disconcerting if you cannot finish everything you want to do now. You have your sights aimed high, but you may be so unrealistic that you end up missing your mark completely. You could grow frustrated if you think you should be more practical. Just move forward slowly, because patience really is a virtue to strive for today.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might have some explaining to do today, but the more you ramble on, the less convincing you sound. Even if you prefer not to say anything at all, you may be enticed into spilling all the beans. Your words don’t quite paint the picture that you see now, so keep reminding yourself to craft your message carefully, make your point succinctly, and then stop talking while you’re ahead.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You’re carrying your feelings close to the surface now, but keeping up appearances just enough so that others aren’t aware of your emotional turbulence. Your guarded behavior is actually an effective tactic, but be careful not to send out too many mixed messages today. Postpone your most important decisions until your clarity returns later this week.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 1
Keep in mind that yesterday’s Full Moon vibrations are still potent. The 48 hours after a solar-lunar monthly apotheosis represent a time-period to distribute the enlightening energy-field just received into the heart and soul of humanity. Assisting you in grounding these forces into practical undertakings is a Sun-Saturn contra-parallel (7:07AM PDT). However, don’t let self-doubts and pessimism get a hold of your consciousness. Logic and hard work can lead to hefty rewards down the road. Dive into creative artistic projects of your choosing — thanks to a flowing trine of 120-degrees from the Moon in Pisces to Venus in Cancer (1:03PM PDT). However, as this lunar sky pattern clocks in, the Moon becomes void-of-course until 10:38PM PDT. During this 9-hour twilight zone, it is best to finish old business on a high note, but not begin new, bold enterprises. Watch out for confusion and chaotic conditions on the partnership front as Mercury makes its annual polarity with hazy Neptune (2:17PM PDT). Try to tweak this alignment by experimenting with a video camera, musical improvisation, off-beat dance routines or eclectic literary style. Utilize the lunar shift into Aries (10:38PM PDT) to plant seeds for new projects that can bear fruit in the next few weeks.
