Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 1

Aries

As the Moon leaves your relationship sector he leaves you with a strong intuitive and emotional link to the past, that you need to hold onto. With Saturn in his final weeks in retrograde motion in your relationship sector this leaves you with an emotional link to things you may have swept under the carpet in the past.

Taurus

The Moon returns for his monthly visit to your relationship sector today, evoking your emotional and intuitive responses. The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if this didn’t push some buttons and evoke some emotional responses, giving you a chance to make sense of and process what’s been and to nudge things in the right direction moving forward.

Gemini

As the Moon wraps up his monthly visit he leaves you with an intuitive read on your heart and on a pervasive sense of romantic nostalgia, that won’t be here when he returns next month. Right now the doors to the past and to second chances are wide open on the romantic front, but only for a few more weeks.

Cancer

Just when you need it most, with some tension starting to creep into your relationships, the Moon makes a timely return to your romantic sector, giving you a chance to tap back into your heart and some more romantic energy. This gives you a chance to put things into perspective and to hear what your heart is trying to tell you.

Leo

While you’re just 3 days away from a lunar eclipse in your romantic sector, that has the power to create some unexpected developments, there are telltale signs or road markers and there won’t be any. This is a lunar eclipse that will take you by surprise and the only way you can prepare is to take your hands off the wheel, putting your faith in the love gods.

Virgo

With Neptune due to turn retrograde in your relationship sector next week and Chiron the week after, the door to the past and to second chances is about to open. As the Moon makes his last visit to your communication sector before then, this gives you a chance to open the communication lines and to connect in an authentic way.

Libra

While some short term relationship pressure that the Moon evoked yesterday is most likely easing back, looking more like a false alarm, don’t dismiss this too quickly, for it held some valid wake up calls. Find a balance between not sweating the small stuff and not sticking your head in the sand.

Scorpio

You’ll find it a lot easier now to find the right work/life balance in order to keep the professional momentum going and give your personal life, especially your relationships the attention it needs. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t need to work at it, taking responsibility for ensuring you have the right balance and boundaries.

Sagittarius

It’s not much help when later down the track you tell yourself that you should have trusted your instincts or you should have had the confidence to speak up, especially when today is the day you’re most likely to look back on with regret if you don’t follow your hunches. It’s when you challenge your excuses that you’re more likely to find yourself in the right place at the right time.

Capricorn

You’ve had a real test over the last few days, when it comes to balancing your personal and professional lives. It matters less how well you managed this and more that you’re aware of what did or didn’t work. For where you’re going having the right balance and boundaries will not only be important, but increasingly harder to maintain.

Aquarius

Venus, planet of love and romance has been in your romantic sector for nearly 2 months, yet even after all this time the romantic advantages still haven’t peaked and the journey has barely begun. You’re in a romantic phase that will take until mid 2013 to fully play out, with a need to be in this for the long haul.

Pisces

When Mars first returned to your relationship sector last November, for what is normally a 6 week visit, it was with the intention of shaking things up. That stage you’ve been through and it’s now more about rebuilding your relationships for the future or if single to let go of the past, ready to move on.

Your Career Horoscopes for the Week of May 29th

Aries

Things become more serious for Mars this week, for while he’s been in your work sector since last November, his longest visit in 47 years, it’s time to bring things home. While Mars won’t leave your work sector until early July, the Moon’s visit from Monday to Wednesday comes just as he’s ready to move into his last full month and just as you’ve cleared any roadblocks. After many ups and downs and false starts it’s time to put the pedal to the metal and go for it. For a planet that usually spends just 6 weeks in your work sector at a time, the 6 ½ months he’s already put in has given you the experience and the savvy to bring things home. As the Moon sharpens your instincts this will help you to pick your battles wisely, ensuring that your time and energy is going into the right places.

Taurus

Since Saturn returned to your work sector in October 2009 the Moon’s monthly visits have helped you to keep track, giving you an intuitive read on the ever changing conditions. Saturn’s current retrograde phase in your work sector is the third in as many years and when the Moon returns to your work sector on Wednesday and aligns with Saturn on Friday, it will be for the sixth time this year and the fifth time while Saturn is in retrograde motion. This should be a run of the mill encounter then, but it is anything but, for it’s the last time that the Moon and Saturn will align in your work sector, while the door to the past is still open for another 30 years. Keeping your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground is a must, especially when it comes to what hindsight is telling you.

Gemini

Things are finally slowing down on the professional front, not because you’re running out of steam. You’re nearing a point where you’re able to work with what is already on the table, before new doors start opening on the work front in August. Considering that when they do open that they’ll remain open until mid 2015, taking things slowly while you can is a real necessity. Things are slowing down because Neptune and Chiron, the only two planets active in either of your professional houses, are coming to a standstill and are in their final days in direct motion. Neptune will turn retrograde next Tuesday and Chiron a week later, with a need to avoid rushing or pushing things. The Moon’s return to your work sector over the weekend will give you a chance to pick up on some valuable clues.

Cancer

As you move into the new week you’re just 7 days away from a lunar eclipse in your work sector, an eclipse that because the Moon will only return on the same day is likely to catch you by surprise. However that shouldn’t be the case if you’re paying attention, for while eclipses are wild cards and bring things to a head or to a turning or tipping point, if you’re paying attention the clues are there before hand. This makes it important to have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, but also to avoid over thinking, for it’s more about being aware of what is actually happening and where things actually stand than looking back or projecting forward. This means paying attention and finding a balance between not sweating the small stuff and keeping your head out of the sand.

Leo

After first the Sun and then Mercury left your career sector last week Jupiter is back to being on his own, as it has been for the majority of the time since the planet of luck returned last June. Yet what has been a 12 month mission to bring your professional game up to speed, to point your professional goals and ambitions in the right direction and to invest all that you can into your professional game is now coming to an end. Jupiter will leave your career sector in 2 weeks from Tuesday, after which point there’ll be no more planetary activity in your career sector until April 2013. With all your cards now on the table and the confidence of knowing that you have the right amount of stamina and stickability on the work front, it’s now more about positioning yourself for future success.

Virgo

Each week conditions deepen on the career front, with last week’s solar eclipse in your career sector, along with the Sun and Mercury’s return topped this week by the consolidation taking place. However, you’re still on your way up with events next week literally eclipsing events until now and the week after that going a step further. This is still early days in a professional comeback that within the next few weeks will reveal just how many options you have. In the meantime you begin the week with the Sun and Mercury aligned in your career sector and over the weekend Mercury and Venus will align. With Venus in retrograde motion and the Sun and Mercury in direct motion, this is the start of a coming together of forces, giving you a clearer sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Libra

Things are slowing down on the professional front, to a point where you could even take time off or simply glide, which could be just what you need. Yet if there is any fear that this is the start of a slump, rest assured it’s not and this is in fact one of the only real weeks you’ll get for some time when you can actually catch your breath. Neptune and Chiron, the only planets currently active in either of your professional houses, are slowing down, with Neptune turning retrograde in your work sector next Tuesday and Chiron a week later. Even if you wanted to, this is not the time to push things. With Mercury returning to your career sector next week and opening the door to the most active 3 career months of the year, taking the time this week to catch your breath is a must.

Scorpio

Any week that begins with the Moon in your career sector has to be a good one, ensuring that you’re off to the best possible start, with your professional instincts sharp and engaged and with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground. While the Moon will leave on Monday after spending the weekend in your career sector, you’ve had a chance to get your bearings and away from the coalface to listen to what your instincts, hunches and imagination have been telling you. By this time next month you’ll have the first planetary activity in your career sector for the year, so this gives you a chance to start lining up at doors before they’ve even opened or before they’re even there. Move into the week trusting and following your hunches and keep it that way.

Sagittarius

On both the work and career fronts there is a real call to action this week and a sense that it’s time to bring things home. After the Sun and Mercury both left your work sector last week, leaving you with the objectivity and intellectual savvy to play your A game, this left Jupiter on his own and due to leave in 2 weeks from Tuesday, it really is time to bring things home, putting things on the track that you want them to continue on. It’s the Moon’s return to your career sector on Monday and position here until Wednesday that will sharpen your professional instincts and evoke both your emotional responses and your fighting spirit. This comes just as Mars is getting ready to move into his last full month in your career sector. It’s time to pull out all the stops.

Capricorn

Conditions on the work and career fronts couldn’t be more different, with Saturn on his own and in retrograde motion in your career sector, while on the work front the door is open to both new opportunities and second chances. Yet it’s the unity between these two areas of your chart that creates a complimentary set of circumstances, creating a new level of professional confidence as you wake up to how many options you have. The Moon’s return to your career sector on Wednesday will sharpen your professional instincts, with his alignment with Saturn on Friday giving you a chance to delve deep into the past. This is the Moon’s last alignment with Saturn while he’s in retrograde motion for another 30 years, so the sense of hindsight you’re able to tap into will be too important to ignore.

Aquarius

You have had no planetary activity in either of your professional houses all year and other than a Full Moon in your career sector on the 6th May, nothing but the Moon’s monthly visits to your work and career sectors to keep things on track. That’s about to change and this is one of the last weeks for a while that you’ll have a chance to take your professional hat off and keep it off. For with Mercury returning to your work sector next week, kicking off the 3 most active months of the year on the work front and an active 3 years on the career front kicking in during that time, things are about to get busy. The Moon’s return to your career sector over the weekend, coming full circle from the Full Moon on the 6th May, will give you one last chance to get your bearings before new doors open.

Pisces

At the start of the week your focus needs to be on all things work, job and employment related, for you’re moving into the week with the Moon in your work sector. While the Moon will leave on Monday, having spent the weekend here this allows you to move into the new week with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground and a wealth of insights, hunches and clues to draw on. While new doors won’t start opening on the work front until the 26th June, holding onto those clues and hunches is essential. By the weekend your attention needs to start shifting to your professional game as a whole, ahead of a lunar eclipse in your career sector next Monday that could catch you unprepared. While you can’t second guess a lunar eclipse, you can at least start paying attention.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 29th

Aries

Until now the love gods have put all their attention onto your relationships and especially when it comes to ensuring that the communication lines are open. But the Moon’s visit to your romantic sector over the last few days is likely to have stirred some discontent on the romantic front, with a sense of rebellion taking root.

Taurus

As the Moon and Mars align in your romantic sector a potent mix of emotion and romantic passion will make it hard to deny how you really feel. If the Moon is doing its job this will evoke your fighting spirit, for as you start to wake up to what you might be missing out on, your inner romantic warrior is likely to respond with a resounding ‘I don’t think so’!

Gemini

At the same time the countdown is on to next week’s lunar eclipse in your relationship sector, with a need to keep things out in the open, there is a growing sense of romantic nostalgia. It’s by letting your romantic desires and your heart dwell on the past, but at the same time keeping your relationships firmly focused on the future, that you’re able to create something special.

Cancer

As the Moon not only makes his monthly visit to your communication sector but aligns with fiery and passionate Mars energy, you’ll find it easier to speak out than it will be to hold your tongue, which is a good thing. Things will get a little bumpier on the relationship front next month, with the more you can clear the air now the better.

Leo

If love, your heart or your romantic resolve was never tested, you’d never know how strong it really was and would live in fear. Your heart is a lot more robust than you realise and in order to find or experience real love then you need to take your defences down. Making yourself vulnerable is scary, but your heart doesn’t need to be wrapped in cottonwool.

Virgo

Don’t over react to any relationship pressure or tension today, for it’s simply the Moon making his monthly visit to your sign and therefore moving into opposition with Neptune and Chiron in your relationship sector. This will happen every 4 weeks and is nothing more nor less than a chance to test the waters and make sure things aren’t being swept under the carpet.

Libra

After an active 3 months on the relationship front ran its course just under 3 weeks ago things have eased back, however they’ll never quite go off the boil. With Uranus, planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected staying behind the love gods have your back, refusing to let things become bogged down again.

Scorpio

Both the Sun and Mercury left your relationship sector last week and with Jupiter himself leaving in 2 weeks time, it’s time to bring things home. The Moon has already made his last visit before this powerful relationship year comes to an end, so you already have all the answers and inside needed to put your relationships on the right path.

Sagittarius

At what is an important time on the relationship front the Moon is putting the focus on your professional game today and rightfully so. The relationship chapter that you’re now in will run through to mid 2013 and conditions will only get better, so you need to learn how to juggle your relationship with the real world. Start with having the right boundaries.

Capricorn

When the Sun and Mercury left your romantic sector they left Jupiter on his own and with the planet of luck and expansion not only the last planet here but due to leave himself in 2 weeks time, holding onto his romantic energy and focus is a must. At what is turning into one of the busiest times of the year, this is going to be easier said than done.

Aquarius

The Sun and Mercury only returned to your romantic sector last week, but it’s already clear that this is no ordinary visit. With last week’s solar eclipse having already opened new doors and Venus holding the door open to second chances, it’s clear that the love gods are on your side, with a need to believe in love and in what’s possible.

Pisces

Just as Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos is about to move into his final month in your relationship sector he aligns with the Moon today, bringing together a potent cocktail of emotion and passion. While things may get a little fiery on the relationship front, this will also create some real passion and steam.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 25th

We think that more data brings us closer to the truth today, but it’s challenging to synthesize all the information. Clever Mercury in noisy Gemini enables us to handle the overload, even if there are unresolved contradictions. However, Mercury’s conflicting square with surreal Neptune fuzzes out facts while the sensitive Cancer Moon encourages intuition over analysis. Clarity begins to return as the Moon slips into expressive Leo at 6:11 pm EDT.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes you’re so confident that you have absolute faith in a wildly unrealistic idea. Ironically, reality seems to encourage you to turn up your volume even higher now. Be careful; if you’re in need of a reality check, someone may come along and pull the plug to teach you a lesson. Instead of responding defensively today, be quiet and pay attention to your own feelings. Rushing off to start another project will only distract you from what you need to learn in the present moment.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may struggle with your self-esteem today, especially if you receive mixed messages about your work from your boss. You aren’t clear about what is expected of you and you might just want to sidestep the whole issue. However, it’s healthier to talk about your concerns with coworkers or friends. Once you make some sense out of the situation you’ll be able to keep moving forward.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current indecision is a symptom of a deep uncertainty about your goals. You may be quite confused, yet others cannot see the crossed signals you’re receiving from within your own subconscious. Pretending that you have answers will only alienate you further from those who could be allies now. Find the courage to be honest today; revealing your vulnerability to a trusted friend can be a catalyst to deepen a relationship and bring clarity back into your life.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You feel a flood of powerful emotions washing over you today with the Moon back in your watery sign. The waves of feeling are strong enough to take you for a ride, whether or not you’re a willing passenger. There is nothing to be gained by fighting the currents or trying to control your changing moods. Go with the flow, allowing the tides to take you where they will.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you might be sparkling on the surface, there’s something brewing today underneath your apparent display of warmth. Your insecurities are gnawing at you from within and they just won’t leave you alone now. Your sixth sense tells you that something is preventing you from living up to your potential, yet you cannot quite put your finger on where this feeling is coming from. Don’t run from the truth; seek clarity by practicing meditation or engaging in a deep discussion with a close friend.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are the Champion of Critical Thinking, but it may not feel that way to you now. You like everything in neat and tidy compartments (even within your mind). However, conflicting thoughts draw you back and forth, making it difficult to find resolution to important matters today. Your mind is like a camera that won’t focus sharply and the picture remains blurry no matter how you alter your perspective. No struggle is needed; free your imagination from all the rules for just one day and relax.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have lots of good ideas about something exciting that you want to do, but it’s difficult for a plan to get traction at this time. You can feel the inner tension as you try to resolve a conflict between your hypersensitive feelings and the overall situation at work. You may be called on to nurture someone who you secretly think should be taking care of his or her own business. But you might choose to ride to the rescue now, even if you must temporarily put your needs on hold.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The watery Cancer Moon instinctively feels comforting, giving you permission to muck about in the feeling realms today. You’re like a beautiful rhino, enjoying playtime in the swamp. You can bask in the added intensity of today’s experiences, but they lose something in the translation when you try to share them with others. There’s nothing wrong with keeping some secrets to yourself until the Sun comes out tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s frustrating that you cannot easily resolve an emotional conflict today. Your feelings are tugging at your pants leg like the proverbial persistent puppy trying to tell you something important. Nevertheless, your resistance is wearing down and you’re more willing to compromise now. Just make sure you’re not giving in to avoid the truth. Keep in mind that your desires won’t really fade until you take the time to acknowledge them.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Sometimes you must drop what you are doing and place another person’s agenda ahead of yours. Someone may reveal an emotional dilemma today that requires you to jump in and engage your feelings, even though they aren’t very practical. Don’t worry about solving anyone’s problems now; you can be a good friend simply by showing up and responding in the present moment.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Radical ideas are popping into awareness today faster than you can deal with them. You’re more inventive and clever now, but some of your brilliant ideas might not hit the nail right on the head. Letting go of the craziest thoughts that would rightly be criticized by others is a good way to minimize the noise so you can focus on what’s most important.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Mercury the Communicator is stressing your key planet Neptune, and you may feel like you are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Everything appears tinted by your imagination, as if you’re seeing things through a filter that blurs difficult perceptions. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that they’re non-existent. Ask a friend for a reality check if something looks particularly amazing or terribly bad. Remember that what you see today is not what you get

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for May 25 – 27

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Hearts Take Center Stage

May 25 – 27

It’s showtime this weekend, and the curtain goes up when the Moon dances into dramatic Leo early on Friday evening. This is a time to express your creativity and your feelings without restraint. It’s definitely more interesting to go too far than to play it safe and hold back emotions. Indulging in a little fantasy is perfect as communicative Mercury crosses paths with imaginative Neptune. Reality takes a temporary backseat to living in the moment without concern for what tomorrow will bring. It’s like Las Vegas is everywhere and everyone can leave behind adult responsibilities to play with heartfelt abandon. Of course, you shouldn’t take what you hear or say too seriously in these ungrounded circumstances.

Dressing to impress on Saturday, almost as if you’re a performer, puts stars in peoples’ eyes and smiles on their faces. Being generous is a wonderful way to please a partner, so open your heart and wallet to make this a special time. Making memories is more important than saving money or saving face. The more love and affection that’s given, the more you’ll get back in return.

This joyous influence continues until late Sunday night when the Moon moves into pragmatic Virgo and minds shift away from play and toward the workweek that lies ahead.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 25th

Your abilities as a problem-solver and strategist skyrocket – courtesy of a supportive, 60-degree alliance between Mercury and Pallas (12:17AM PDT). When these two mentally-oriented celestial bodies form a positive liaison, all kinds of intellectual and intuitive breakthroughs are possible. As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, we are in a rather quiescent time-period relative to cosmic alignments as major sky patterns are temporarily on the back burner. Nevertheless, today can still be tricky to maneuver through easily since the Moon goes void at 7:35AM PDT during an upbeat Moon-Jupiter 60-degree rapport. The void lunar uncertainty cycle remains in effect until 3:12PM PDT when the Moon enters fiery, warmhearted Leo. In the midst of the void Moon conundrum, Mercury squares off with dreamy Neptune (2:38PM PDT). It is wise to avoid key signings, legal matters and making long-term commitments a few hours before and after this 90-degree clash. You may be able to tweak this planetary link-up into something more favorable by experimenting in the realms of photography, film and video work, painting, music and dance. Inspirations are hitting some extraordinary high notes this evening as a Sun-Mercury parallel (9:52PM PDT) closely coincides with a supportive, 60-degree rapport between the Moon and Mercury (10:32PM PDT).

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wed., May 23rd

Our need for emotional security is strong today as the Moon enters sensitive Cancer at 7:31 am EDT. However, comfort is elusive as a dynamic square between the restless Gemini Sun and dreamy Neptune invites us to step away from our feelings and into our fantasies. Although artistic expression may be enhanced, we can easily get lost. Escaping reality is not a sensible strategy now; we are much better off seeking spiritual solutions to our malaise.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your dilemma may be quite real today, even if you’re feeling sure of yourself. You think that you know what you want and it doesn’t seem too complicated. However, achieving satisfaction isn’t that easy because there’s a big difference between your personal goals and what others have to offer at this time. Your current happiness could depend on your willingness to modify your highest ideals with what is actually possible.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your physical energy may be low today, leaving you feeling a bit discouraged. Perhaps the smartest thing you can do now is to simply take it easy. If you don’t have the drive to tackle a significant project, don’t waste too much time worrying about it. Your stamina will return soon enough, and in the meantime you can increase your chances for success by getting some much-needed rest.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are very aware that your emotions are affecting your productivity today, especially as your feelings change throughout the day. Your moods may continue to fluctuate, challenging you to maintain an even temper. You can minimize your frustration and avoid being overwhelmed by only taking on what you know you can finish. Limiting your goals now makes room for spiritual growth.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be hypersensitive today and feel under the weather for no particular reason. However, it’s crucial not to succumb to negativity since circumstances are probably not as bad as they currently seem. Above all, remain honest; any attempts to stretch the truth will likely backfire. However, sharing your fantasies with a trustworthy friend can be uplifting as long as you clearly differentiate your dreams from the facts.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

No matter how optimistic you feel, your usual demonstration of courage and vitality may be difficult to pull off today. Your positive energy isn’t as readily available now. Ironically, you can turn the day around by bringing your self-doubt right out into the open. When others realize that you don’t have all the answers, they’ll be more likely to offer a helping hand.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may feel as if you are on information overload, it’s difficult to tell which data is useful and which is not. It might even be impossible to discern fact from fiction now. Naturally, you want to deal with the real world based upon objective truth; however, your confusion gets in the way of your progress today. If you soften your stance and don’t push for clarity, the haze will lift on its own.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may become more optimistic and lighter on your feet as the day goes on. However, you also might grow more confused about love and romance. The problem is that you’re less sure about what’s real and what is imagined. Your thoughts come and go quickly now, so don’t worry if you can’t hold on to any of them. Attempting to control your mental process only brings frustration. Instead, float along with the currents and enjoy the day for whatever joy it brings.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you might believe that you can logically think your way through a current dilemma, reason seems to break down just as the solution comes into sight. For now, it’s practical reality versus creative imagination. It’s frustrating, but you cannot hold on to both sides at the same time. Give yourself permission to entertain your dreams today, for the real world will intervene when necessary to bring you back.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are being flooded by images arising from your subconscious mind today. You may feel as if you’re being pushed to do something that doesn’t really make sense to you, but this is the nature of unconscious expression. Anxiety might arise from your current confusion; the more you try to figure out what’s happening, the farther away the answers seem. Don’t take your lack of clarity too seriously, for it will pass soon enough.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

People usually trust your answers because you have plenty of common sense and typically seem to know what to do. Now, however, you are less likely to be certain about what comes next. Your acute lack of confidence could lead you down the path of less resistance, which may not take you in your intended direction. The most important thing is to allow yourself the luxury of wasting time today, even if it feels counterproductive.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may be quick to rise, dress and prepare for work, something still could be bothering you. You don’t know what’s expected of you today, but this can be a creative time if you figure out how to let go of the details for a while. If you refuse to give up control, you could inadvertently invite unnecessary irritation. However, remaining open to change can lead to rich and meaningful experiences.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s no need to panic now, even if you don’t have a game plan in place. In fact, expressing your fears might just make matters worse today. Unfortunately, you’re not fully in control of your immediate environment; the more you try to make something go your way, the more resistance you encounter. Attempting to resolve an issue could make your frustration level soar, so just work through the uncertainty the best you can.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 16th

There’s no rest for the weary! Ten important celestial seasonings are about to be sprinkled on all of our lives. Here’s the complete list as the Sun forms a contra-parallel with Pluto (1:35AM PDT), the Moon in Aries unites with Uranus (5:12AM PDT), Mars trines Pluto (9:27AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Jupiter (1:42PM PDT), Vesta makes a similar, 30-degree link to Uranus (2:29PM PDT), Jupiter forms an off-kilter, 150-degree connection to Saturn (3:43PM PDT), the Moon parallels Mars (7:39PM PDT), Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Pallas (8:28PM PDT), Ceres contacts Neptune via an inspirational, 72-degree link (10:04PM PDT), and Mars opposes Chiron (11:57PM PDT). To some extent, the aspects are almost divided between favorable and challenging. However, Jupiter at loggerheads with Saturn must top the list and this liaison is clearly discordant – particularly on the business and professional fronts. Therefore, attempting to throw your weight around in these areas of life is foolish and illogical. Even though the Moon with Uranus speaks of potential innovation and Ceres in touch with Neptune equates with a possible rising tide of productivity, the two largest planets (Jupiter and Saturn) suggesting the need for a major readjustment is top dog right now. Of course, you can attempt to tweak each difficult alignment – when they occur – and see if you gain some kind of mileage around those time-periods. Nevertheless, the overall mood in the psychic atmosphere is a lot of stress and strain are happening, and if you can play the role of Good Samaritan or cheerleader to shut-ins and the disadvantaged, by all means do so.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, May 11

Ready, set, go! Inspirations can be flying fast and furiously as Mercury makes a contra-parallel with Neptune (5:04AM PDT) followed by an inspirational, 72-degree connection from the radiant Sun to healer-shaman Chiron (7:15AM PDT). Learn more about esoteric philosophy, meditation, ancient ruins, pyramid power, UFOs and ETs under this double-whammy of far-out stellar associations. Check your subconscious to see if Technicolor dreams have been stored from last night or the recent past. Strange forces may be on the prowl later on since Saturn forms a frictional, 135-degree link to Chiron (1:59PM PDT). Both of these celestial bodies are linked to the concepts of right timing – materially (Saturn) and spiritually (Chiron). If twilight zone or deja vu type experiences seem stronger than usual, don’t be surprised. Meanwhile, Aquarius Moon generates interest in group projects, team sports and community events. Revelations can strike concerning your business and investment plans as Mercury unites with Vesta in finance-oriented Taurus (7:38PM PDT). Start gearing up for a potent weekend that highlights the annual union of the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – happening this year in Taurus on Sunday. The power of positive thinking, a contagious self-confidence and winning smile can take you far during the next 48-hour cosmic thrill-ride.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 6th

The day after a Full Moon can be rough because the vision or revelation of higher reality has now been delivered to earthlings – whether they know it or not. In the meantime, it’s as though the cosmos feels it has done its thing and now may be prepared to focus its attention on other species or planets. However, the 48-hour time-period beginning at this time ought to be a launching pad for spreading the good news that the light, love and wisdom of the universe are ready to work wonders in all of our lives. A particular challenge today is that the Moon in Scorpio appears to be shirking its responsibility by going void at 5:15AM PDT during a somewhat optimistic and illuminating Moon-Jupiter polarity. The lunar orb remains in this weakened void mode until 6:40PM PDT when Sagittarius Moon begins in earnest for the next two days. The lunar shift every month from Scorpio to Sagittarius is one of the most profound changes in the zodiac since there is a miniature death – followed by the need for regeneration, and rebirth of feelings, thoughts and ideals. Nevertheless, it is helpful to be finishing old projects and enterprises on a high note during today’s void limbo cycle. Under the auspices of Sagittarius Moon, let the fun, games and sporting events proceed! Insights about business matters and investment planning can be sharp as Vesta makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Neptune (9:31PM PDT). Strengthen love bonds and partnership ties later on – courtesy of the monthly Moon-Juno union (10:08PM PDT).

New Moon Report for April 21 – New Moon in Taurus

New Moon in Taurus

Saturday, April 21, 12:18 am PDT, 3:18 am EDT

The New Moon in earthy Taurus starts a slow-cooking fire, creating opportunities to increase income and discover fresh sources of pleasure. Investing in a solid foundation of training, tools and developing personal resources with patience establishes a base from which future success will grow. Taurus likes a steady pace, so don’t be in a hurry to get where you want to go. Sticking to a practical plan is a surer way to achieve your goals than trying to beat the clock. Long-range strategic thinking will pay dividends, while get-rich-quick schemes are likely to fail. Skillful Mars in Virgo and potent Pluto in Capricorn form favorable aspects to this Sun-Moon conjunction, producing a Grand Earth Trine that favors pragmatism and productivity. Yet a lovely slice of imagination is blended into this cosmic dish with a supportive sextile from dreamy Neptune to the New Moon. This spiritual planet softens Taurean stubbornness with compassion and faith, bringing a higher purpose to even the most mundane tasks.

The Taurus New Moon is like a fertile garden where healthy seeds can take root and grow. Nurturing the soil of ourselves with constructive thoughts and healthy behavior may seem boring to some, yet the results are worth the effort. The ground upon which a positive future is built requires appreciation for oneself, so acknowledging our abilities and accomplishments is essential for feeding our ambitions. Taking time to enjoy life’s simple and sensual pleasures provides joy that makes the journey worthwhile.

Your Cosmic Calendar for April 18th

Racing out of the starting gate this morning is not a priority when the Moon continues its movement being void in Pisces until 9:00AM PDT. Revelations lift your consciousness to new heights as Pallas forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie to distant Pluto (5:26AM PDT). Problem-solving and strategy sessions are energized even though the Moon is out-of-sorts at the tail end of the last sign of the zodiac. Watch out for a rising tide of confusion on the relationship front as the Sun is contra-parallel Neptune (6:45AM PDT). It is better to meditate for guidance than allow an overly-eager temperament to lead you into unnecessary hot water in affairs of the heart. Once the Moon enters fiery Aries (9:00AM PDT), be more assertive and dynamic across the board. Show off your communication and business skills as the Moon unites with Mercury (12:29PM PDT). Check in with family members and focus on your parental responsibilities as Ceres makes a contra-parallel with Saturn (1:36PM PDT). Don’t let this Ceres-Saturn tussle throw a monkey-wrench into your daily tasks and chores. Dive headlong into advances on the cutting edge of science, medicine and metaphysics during the monthly Moon-Uranus union (8:46PM PDT). Today’s lunar conjunctions with Mercury and Uranus are a reminder that these two important planets already merged together on March 5 and 18, and are gearing up for a third rendezvous on Sunday April 22.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 15

As the recent Pluto and Mars stations both lessen in influence, another challenge appears on the horizon. The annual Sun-Saturn opposition – from Aries to Libra (11:27AM PDT) – should be approached with care and caution. Strive to remove worry, self-doubt and fear from your mind and heart. There can be progress on the partnership front if you are honest with yourself, and attempt to address impediments to relationship harmony with logic and common sense. What favors a breakthrough are the Moon making a supportive, 60-degree alliance with the Sun (3:43PM PDT), Juno trine Uranus in fire signs (6:19PM PDT), and Ceres making a productive, 60-degree rapport with Neptune (6:49PM PDT). However, the Moon enters a void lunar cycle at 3:43PM PDT (lasting until 10:39PM PDT) while a Vesta-Chiron 45-degree skirmish (3:55PM PDT) adds a note of conflict to the overall proceedings. The bottom line is you need to take today’s Sun-Saturn encounter seriously and – if possible – put legal matters and heavy-duty business concerns on the back burner. Once the Moon leaves void status by entering Pisces (10:39PM PDT), express your feelings with greater compassion and empathy as Sunday shifts into Monday. Write down out-of-the-body visions and Technicolor dreams as the lunar orb makes its monthly union with Neptune at 3:27AM PDT tomorrow.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, April 6th

Full Moon days don’t always require a slow-down, but with the Moon parallel Saturn (12:10AM PDT) and the Sun making a frictional, 45-degree link with dreamy and potentially obfuscating Neptune (8:46AM PDT), it is wise to heed some of the cosmic cautionary signals this morning. Once the exact time of the Full Moon (energizing 18 degrees of Aries and Libra) arrives – 12:20PM PDT – illuminating vibrations are at their peak. Individual and group meditations are advised. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity, and the kingdoms of nature. Think more about helping others and fulfilling your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth than on making things happen your way. In esoteric circles, this Full Moon is considered the first of three in a row that emphasize the will, love and intelligence of divinity – however we understand that sense of infinite and eternal wisdom, grace and peace. Stop worrying about trivial pursuits and the actions of dear ones that you cannot control. The continuing transit of the Moon in Libra places a distinct focus on improving the quality of your primary partnerships. Enjoy a night on the town or take a significant other to a movie, play or musical concert. Let the good times roll!

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 21

Every so often a dark-of-the-moon cycle (when the New Moon is on the verge of happening) crosses swords with a lengthy void-of-course lunar time-period. That fairly rare cosmic energy-field is in effect at 1:40AM PDT when the Moon in Pisces becomes void and this condition lasts over 24 hours until 2:58AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters Aries. The bottom line is that while several celestial alignments are vying for supremacy today, it is wise to complete old business on a high note and not push your personal agenda to make things happen your way. Here’s a list of the key aspects going on today as Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Venus (1:18AM PDT), the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree link to Venus (1:40AM PDT), Ceres makes an abrasive, 135-degree contact with Mars (3:02AM PDT), Mercury makes a subtle, 30-degree rapport with Neptune (8:11AM PDT), the Moon parallels Uranus (10:12AM PDT), the Sun and Mercury form an important Inferior Conjunction or Earth, Mercury and Sun line-up at 2 degrees of Aries (12:22PM PDT), the Sun makes a subtle, 30-degree tie to Neptune (4:25PM PDT), Juno squares Mars (6:35PM PDT), and the Moon parallels Ceres (7:57PM PDT) and Mercury (10:30PM PDT). Yikes! Ten sky patterns are in this list and the Earth, Mercury and Sun line-up in the solar system is no slouch. Cosmic seed-ideas are seeking to enter curious and open human minds that can take hold of them and translate them into winning formulas for earthly success in a wide variety of realms of knowledge, business and professional work. However, because of the all-consuming void lunar cycle, matched up with the dark-of-the-moon vibes, some cautionary behavior is recommended.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 19th

As the first workday of this week, there could be some strange vibrations going on since the Sun is not only located in the last degree of Pisces, but also in the last degree of the archetypal zodiac that starts with zero degrees of Aries around this date every year. The zodiac contains 360-degrees of space – like any geometric circle – and the solar life-force is now ending one cycle and, at 10:16PM PDT, starting a new cycle. Therefore, much of today’s 24-hour astro-psychic energy-field is filled with a solar dynamic that is harkening back to the past few weeks and months. You may want to mimic this reasoning and conduct a careful review of your last twelve months as a soul-infused personality dwelling on this planet some 93 million miles away from the star that rules over our cosmic neighborhood in the Milky Way galaxy. Re-evaluating your investment and business strategies certainly makes sense because Vesta forms a subtle and yet still important, 30-degree rapport with king of the gods Jupiter (Noon PDT). The Moon enters a 3+ hour void uncertainty zone in Aquarius at 1:32PM PDT and this ends at 5:06PM PDT when the lunar orb enters Piscean waters for the next 2+ days. Tune into your creative imaginative talents, experiment with a video camera or improvise on a favorite musical instrument when the Moon unites with Neptune (8:18PM PDT). Utilize the Sun’s entry into fiery Aries (10:16PM PDT) – one of four sacred turning points of the calendar year at either an equinox or solstice – as an opportunity to take a great leap forward with key enterprises that can give you an enormous boost across the board during the next twelve months.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, March 18th

Stop, look and listen! In the early going today, a slow-motion approach to your business affairs is sensible and logical since the Sun forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Saturn (2:57AM PDT). Too much hard work around this time-period may not necessarily be worth the effort. A completely different vibration pops up 7+ hours later when Mercury in retrograde motion unites with Uranus at 5 degrees of Aries (10:23AM PDT). If this sounds vaguely familiar, there is a reason because the same two planets converged on March 5 and will do so again on April 22. In a typical year, Mercury will make a conjunction with Uranus one time and then keep on going forward. Therefore, 2012 must be an atypical year. In this case, your opportunity is to immerse yourself in the search for higher knowledge and wisdom in many fields of study. In addition, being a dynamic and eclectic communicator, teacher or mentor is accentuated. If turbulent forces seem to be rocking your boat, chalk that discordance up to the Moon in a contra-parallel link to Mars (11:47AM PDT) while the Moon is also moving into a parallel with dreamy Neptune (3:41PM PDT). Stay out of the mischief-making business and be more helpful and caring to the people who turn your world around on a daily basis. Board, word and card games have a genuine appeal under the continuing aegis of airy, information-loaded Aquarius Moon.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 17th

In the early hours, the Sun and Moon form a constructive, 60-degree rapport (4:13AM PDT). You can accomplish a lot on your to-do list. However, a Moon-Saturn square of 90-degrees (6:01AM PDT) suggests taking a time-out as this lunar face-off also starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 9:13AM PDT. Finish odds and ends during this 3+ hour lunar limbo time-span. Once the Moon enters Aquarian orbit at 9:13AM PDT, your weekend focus should be on participating in group projects, team sports, and volunteer efforts in your local community. Some of you may want to join forces with humanitarian projects around the globe that stir your soul. Surprises and shock waves can arrive with the emergence of a Sun-Uranus contra-parallel formation (9:35AM PDT). Try to tweak this Sun-Uranus combination into a helpful alignment that gives you a boost with high-tech interests or advanced studies in metaphysics and science – especially as the Moon also forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Uranus (4:47PM PDT). Love vibrations increase in frequency – thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree tie from Venus to Neptune (7:00PM PDT). Be more cautious and conservative in your attitudes overnight as the Sun is nearing an off-kilter, 150-degree connection with Saturn (clocking in exactly at 2:57AM PDT tomorrow).

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – March 10

Elder’s Meditation of the Day – March 10

“I know Grandpa told me that to smoke is Wakan (holy). The smoke you inhale represents the spirits of everything you put into the pipe. When you breather in the smoke, you are asking to become one with everything or to become whole.”

–Dr. A.C. Ross (Enhanamani), LAKOTA

The smoke allows us to go from the Seen World to the Spirit World. It is in the Spirit World where we are all connected. In this way, we can become one with all things. Our pipe is sacred. We need to be respectful of our medicine. When we smoke the pipe, we need to have good thoughts because these thoughts are shared with the Spirit World. The pipe, the smoke, the spirits, our thoughts-these things are Wakan.

Great Spirit, today, let my thoughts be Wakan.

The Wicca Book of Days for March 10th – Nebulous Neptune

The Wicca Book of Days for March 10th

Nebulous Neptune

We are now more than midway through the zodiacal month of Pisces, which means that the rule of the Fishes’ governing planet, Neptune, has been well established for some time. Following its discovery in 1846, the tradition of calling the planets after Roman Gods as perpetuated through the naming of Neptune. Both the Roman Sea Deity and His Greek counterpart, Poseidon, were said to wield a fisherman’s trident, and it is this that forms the basis of Neptune’s sigil, or astrological symbol. Neptune’s influence is far from aggressive, however, for it is said to make us dreamy, intuitive, and imaginative, as well as altruistic, idealistic, and spiritual.

 

Godly Gray

Water, if not transparent, typically appears gray, which is why this is usually regarded as Neptune’s shade. Affirm your connection with Neptune today by using a gray candle or cord in your rituals or by wearing gray garments.
