Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Leo New Moon falls in your 4th House of Roots today, symbolizing your need for a deeper soul connection with your family and yourself. This drive can play out in different ways, but you may be drawn toward thinking about your past as your attention turns inward. Don’t withdraw from all your social activities; instead, make sure to integrate your inner life with your outer one. Opening your heart brings unexpected rewards.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Leo New Moon’s presence in your 3rd House of Communications emphasizes your natural gift of gab. Your life is busier than ever these days, and it may feel as if time is accelerating now. You are at the front of an energetic push, and you can accomplish a lot as long as you make a concerted effort to finish what you start. There’s no need to hold back if you’re passionate about your goals.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The New Moon is usually an introspective time when you reflect on what you have been doing and what is coming up. However, the outgoing Leo New Moon lands in your 2nd House of Possessions today, bringing you an opportunity to improve your relationship with money. It may be time to give some quality attention to your pocket book, your checkbook and your overall financial condition. Demonstrate your commitment to fiscal responsibility by taking care of business before you wander off to do anything else.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are on center stage today with the New Moon falling in your very own sign, possibly offering you your fifteen minutes of fame. You may tire of the drama as the attention turns into a spotlight that follows your every move. Nevertheless, take time now to review what you’ve done this past year, so you can start to plan for your future. You’re being pushed into new territory, and the good news is that you have the energy and willpower to reach any destination you choose.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Today’s Leo New Moon in your 12th House of Soul Consciousness emphasizes your desire to get back in touch with your spirituality. You want to dig deeper into your own dream world to explore how the conditions in your life are being affected by your past actions. However, this journey is not just a mental exercise, for the ramifications of your current work can be quite profound. Normally, you do whatever seems most appropriate in the moment, but now you actually get to change the root causes of your behavior.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to express your feelings about your friends now that the Leo New Moon illuminates your 11th House of Social Networking. Thankfully, whatever you say today can have a lasting positive impact upon your relationships. A new emotional cycle is pushing you to think more about your dreams in terms of concrete goals. Consider what you want out of life, but don’t stir up too much change all at once. Even the smallest steps taken will have unknown consequences.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Leo New Moon isn’t usually an easy one for you because it forms a stressful square with your Sun sign. You are drawn out into the open more than you prefer today, even if you would rather silently hold on to a perspective that you developed in the past. However, this New Moon is supported by a sextile from assertive Mars, encouraging you to act on your feelings. Don’t resist; carefully observe the signs around you and be ready to make your move at the right moment.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s still mid-summer, yet it might already feel as if cooler weather is just around the corner. However, this feeling is actually a reflection of your intuitive perceptions more than anything else. You realize that things are getting ready to change, but even with the Leo New Moon buzzing your 9th House of Big Plans, you cannot see what’s coming. The future will be here before you know it. Quit worrying and simply enjoy what you have now — even if it’s not everything you desire.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are normally focused on practical logistics because you live in the realm of circumstances and common sense. However, you are growing more concerned with meanings that arise from your own psyche as the Leo New Moon highlights your 8th House of Mystery. This is a great time to practice philosophical inquiry, therapy or meditation. Consider trying different activities that allow you to delve beneath the apparent surface. Expect the unexpected and you won’t be disappointed.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Situations unfolding in your life now are too complicated for a quick and easy explanation. However, these events can open you up to new ideas and philosophies. Today’s Leo New Moon falls in your 7th House of Relationships, setting a tone for the entire month ahead. Be aware that you may need to control your anger if others push your emotional buttons. Remember, your first reaction might not always be your best.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s Leo New Moon lands in your 6th House of Details, presenting you with a dilemma because it asks you to act in ways that are useful, rather than just compassionate. You would like to turn on your intuition and jump right in, but it’s wise to take time to get all your ducks in a row before initiating action. A rational approach is your best bet now.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for August 17 – 19

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Love’s A Playground

August 17 – 19

This is a great weekend for making a fresh start in relationship matters. The New Moon in romantic Leo arrives very early on Friday (or late Thursday, depending on your location in the world), which is an excellent time to be bolder and more ambitious in personal matters. Leo is about the heart, and the hookup between the Sun and Moon in this sign arouses courage, creativity, and the desire to take charge of our personal lives. Though some might come across as too pushy or self-important, it’s better to act boldly than to meekly wait for someone else to make the first move.
Favorable connections between the New Moon and a Mars-Saturn conjunction in Libra remind us that cooperation is the key to successful partnerships. While it’s great to have the self-confidence to initiate activities or plan extravagant events, making sure that the other person is on board is a must. The fires of love require trust rooted in the belief that both parties’ opinions count. But grand romantic gestures and childlike fun are also part of the Leo Moon’s repertoire — it’s time to play hard without holding back the joy and generosity that is so attractive now.

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Mercury retro meets Uranus-Pluto square: karmic turning points galore!

Mercury retro meets Uranus-Pluto square: karmic turning points galore!

By: Tosha Silver

Let the moment have its way with you.”    Carla Torres

Pay tremendous attention to what arrives (and or leaves) your forcefield over the next two weeks.

We are in another one of those Big-Ass Karmic Turning Points that have been littering the landscape for months now. Mercury retrograde in Leo started yesterday (until Aug 7).  A powerful New Moon at 26 Cancer arrives on Wednesday the 18th.

And then there’s that intensely pivotal Uranus/Mars/Pluto T-square aligning big-time all week.

Some sites say wear a crash helmet but that’s an awfully limited perspective. My general feeling is BE WARY of the sites that use any transit to scare the living bejeezus out of you.  While yes,  it’s true that the coming configuration might be volatile and even accident-prone due to the strength of the squares and the planets involved, you can very much ALLEVIATE that by being centered and in the Flow.  Aligning with the Divine is the key to navigating every transit,  learning to NOT inundate with fear and resistance.

And actually there’s a ‘higher’ interpretation for this particular T-square too. Changes can come very very quickly under this.  Situations that have felt ‘stuck’ for aeons can dramatically unstick in ways that are a huge relief.

So be open, don’t bother greeting possible changes with fear, negativity and resistance.  No need!

Intense blessings may in fact arrive in extremely unexpected ways.  The nature of Uranus is SURPRISE; many people already experiencing this.  In some cases, what you thought MIGHT happen has not (so far…) but something ELSE quite wonderful might be happening instead that you never expected.   And that might be even more so after August 8 when Mercury goes direct.  The ability to move with the changes in an alert and open fashion is invaluable.

In the end, what matters is the level of consciousness and vibration that is held under any given transit.  Know how to move with the Shakti and protect yourself from negative thinking in every possible way.  This potent T-square will absolutely magnify whatever you send into the universe, including anger and negativity.  Help keep your vibration HIGH.

“My life is Supremely and Divinely guided. Every day it become easier to breathe, relax and move with the Flow.  I can let the energy move through me and be a profound, useful vehicle for the good of all.

Allow me to release whatever needs to be released.  And help me to gratefully receive whatever needs to arrive.  I am always safe and in the right place at the right time in every possible way.  All is unfolding exactly on schedule in Divine Order.

All is well.”

New Moon Report for July 18 – New Moon Cancer

New Moon Report for July 18

By Jeff Jawer

 

New Moon Cancer

 

Wednesday, July 18, 9:24 pm PDT, Thursday, July 19, 12:24 am EDT

The New Moon in sentimental Cancer is a return to our roots in search of nourishment and a sense of continuity. Family and personal history play an important role in reconnecting us with the past, but the purpose of this lunation is not to linger on memory lane. Instead, the purpose is to draw sustenance and meaning from personal history to fuel plans and projects in the here and now. Feelings can be raw in this sensitive water sign yet a formidable square to this Sun-Moon conjunction from pragmatic Saturn in Libra signals the need to balance emotions with clear thinking. Compromises may be necessary to earn the support of others and taking time to explain needs and aspirations helps to inspire emerging ambitions. Staying cool, though, might not be easy with assertive Mars opposite explosive Uranus and square potent Pluto now. Acting rashly and with resentment are negatives, but discovering new forms of expression and freedom from old habits and fears can be a plus.

The New Moon in Cancer is paradoxical because it initiates a cycle in a cardinal sign, yet the Crab is reluctant to make any bold moves. Therefore this is a time for cautious starts when carefully measured steps are meant to reduce risks while prudently pushing forward to create new sources of security

Current Moon Phase for Sunday, July 8 – Waning Gibbous Moon

Waning Gibbous Moon

(waning /70 degrees)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Current Moon Phase for July 6th – Full Moon (Waning)

Full Moon

(waning/180-135 degrees)

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

The Disseminating Moon (the Waning or Decreasing Full Moon)

The Disseminating Moon

(The Waning or Decreasing Full Moon)
Day 18 – 21
The full moon is shrinking and rises now in the mid-evening, setting in the middle of the next morning, being visible for much  of the time.
Use the decreasing full moon for protection of home, self and love ones, for banishing bad habits, phobias and fears, for  ending a long-standing destructive or abusive relationship, for relieving acute pain and fighting viruses and for leaving behind the past that holds us back  from happiness.

The Balsamic or Waning Crescent Moon

The Balsamic or Waning Crescent Moon

Days 26 – 28 and day 29 when relevant.
The Balsamic Moon rises before dawn(after the midnight of its day) and sets at mid-afternoon of the following day. She is best  seen in the eastern sky in the dawn and very early morning.
Use the Waning Crescent for quiet sleep if you are an insominiac, for peace of mind if you have been anxious or depressed, for  protection from crime and harm, for the easing of addictions, for saying goodbye fondly and for finding what is lost or has been stolen – also the dark of  the moon for the latter.

Waning Moon/Chant to Seal a Spell During this Phase

Waning Moon

The shrinkage of the Moon from full to dark is called the waning phase, and it offers an energy suitable for recession,  peaceful separation or elimination. Use the waning Moon to end undesirable eating patterns, break bad habits or to remove yourself from dysfunctional  partnerships or stressful situations. Its energies favor any magickal effort requiring decrease or removal.
To seal spells performed during the waning Moon, use this chant or one of your own choosing:
Oh Aging One of grace, now hear:
With your guidance, this spell steer.
Remove all blocks and hesitation,
And take it to its destination.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 19

Today is a turning point, filled with a variety of interesting distractions. It seems as if each separate event is the most significant one, yet the Gemini New Moon at 11:02 am EDT teaches us about impermanence even as the Moon quickly enters watery Cancer at 1:33 pm. We plant our intellectual seeds and carefully nurture them as they sprout over the weeks ahead. However, we must let go of any old ideas that have already served their purpose.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There are so many things to do today that you cannot keep up with your own agenda. The busy Gemini New Moon falls in your 3rd House of Information, tempting you to fill your mind with data instead of seeking the deeper meaning of your experiences. You may feel preoccupied by all the external noise, while wishing that you had a chance to delve into the pleasures that you know are waiting for you somewhere. Be patient; your time will come.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are more concerned about money now with the Gemini New Moon activating your 2nd House of Resources. You might not be able to relax until your material world is more secure. It’s disconcerting if you’re consumed by the annoying realization that you’re not quite as financially comfortable as you wish. However, nothing is preventing you from reconsidering where you go next. You can always change your mind along the way.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you feel tangled up in your thoughts now, remember that curiosity is a perfectly natural Gemini trait and you may need to play out every possibility in your mind. The clever Gemini New Moon might have you obsessing about details you cannot possibly know. It’s OK if you feel lost in your own mental maze; you’re perfectly safe and exactly where you need to be today.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your dreams serve a very important purpose and you would quickly lose interest in your future without their inspiration. You often anticipate better times ahead, but now the Gemini New Moon in your 12th House of Endings may have your fantasies working in reverse. If you’re worried about what’s around the next corner, try not to push these concerns away. Embrace your thoughts as messages from within. But then, take it to the next level by giving yourself permission to work toward whatever you want.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you are trying to hold on to the status quo at work, it’s useful to re-evaluate your long-term goals now that the New Moon occurs in your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes. Your current mental agility can help you get what you want, but you must also learn something about yourself or others will think that you’re just playing games. Don’t try to bluff your way through the situation; be open to the lessons at hand.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The interactive Gemini New Moon in your 10th House of Career indicates that you’re being encouraged by others to follow a particular professional path. However, you have additional goals that may not be addressed by your current choices. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to reveal your inner conflicts yet. Publicly expressing your deepest feelings today will only confuse your co-workers. Research your options before sharing what’s on your mind.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be highly motivated to let go of desires that have little chance of being fulfilled as the flighty Gemini New Moon stimulates your 9th House of Big Ideas. You have reached a point where you are ready to make changes in order to add excitement to your life and you have little patience for those who might stand in your way. Don’t sweat the small stuff today; concentrate on your long-term goals rather than the details of the day.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Be careful about complicating a delicate situation today as the noisy Gemini New Moon occupies your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Nevertheless, you are driven by an unquenchable desire to explain the unexplainable as you push toward getting what you want. Your belief that the outcome will be an all-or-nothing one can muddy the waters. The best way to avoid problems is to be honest and keep all communications clear of any possible misunderstandings.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may struggle to find balance between taking care of your most basic needs and meeting everyone else’s expectations as the dualistic Gemini New Moon falls in your 7th House of Others. Your real dilemma stems from the illusion that you can have it both ways now. Although your diplomatic skills rise to the occasion, you must eventually make a choice because you cannot serve two masters. Instead of getting caught up in the moment and rushing your decision, allow time for your inner voice to make itself heard.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone may see you as selfish today, but you know that you must attend to your own needs before you can truly help those around you. You may feel a bit overwhelmed now with all that you have going on and you won’t be much good to anyone if you don’t put the details of your life in order. Thankfully, the information-rich Gemini New Moon lands in your 6th House of Daily Routine, enabling you to increase your everyday efficiency so you have the time and energy to be of service to others.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s adaptable Gemini New Moon falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, motivating you to share your enthusiasm. However, you may be too quick to change your story for each new audience. Don’t be overly concerned about impressing others with your song and dance; if you please yourself, everyone else will jump on your bandwagon. Being loved starts with learning to love yourself more.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be extra protective of your home and family now because subconsciously you know that everything cannot stay the same. Today’s fickle Gemini New Moon occupies your 4th House of Security, tempting you to fearfully hold on to your feelings. Ironically, your attachment to the past might destabilize the present. Instead of trying to maintain the status quo, consider what you can do to become an agent of change.
