ANALYSIS:

Gebo is a rune of connection, particularly the connections between people. Up until now, our journey has been a solitary one. This rune represents those places where our path intersects with others, and allows us to begin to form conscious relationships. Such relationships are strengthened and sanctified by the exchange of gifts.The use of the gift as a symbol of an oath or a bond is an ancient one. When a lord wanted to ensure the loyalty of one of his subjects, he would give that person a gift. The gift would create a debt on the part of the person receiving it, and this debt would ensure his readiness to serve his lord. Similarly, a gift given between lovers, especially that of the ring, symbolizes the bond between them. Originally, only the man gave the ring in a marriage for much the same reason as the lord giving gifts to his vassals, but today the arrangement is usually more equitable. Gifts or offerings given to the Gods often carry the same meaning, representing the giver’s love for or loyalty to their Gods. The giving of a gift implies the acceptance of a debt with the understanding that the debt will not be repaid. It is this imbalance which forms the bond.

 

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of March 24th

Sentimental communication couldn’t be sweeter between you and your love this week. On Wednesday Mercury in ethereal Pisces will trine Jupiter, expanding everyone’s emotional IQ. Then on Friday Mercury will be at a friendly angle to Pluto assuring that those words softly spoken have incredible depth and passion. On Saturday love will be a mixed bag. A sexy link between Venus and Mars may offer you an opportunity to hook up with someone special. Hours later, however, your best laid plans might unravel as Venus squares off with Saturn. Talk about frustration! The week ends with a testy New Moon in independent Aries on Sunday. No one will be willing to compromise, which is always a difficult situation for partnership.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you want romance this week, think social. Be sure to plan a fun night out on the town with your sweetie on Saturday. You may also decide to attend a meeting for a group, or a charity event. What you want to avoid at all costs, though, will be pushing any intimacy buttons. If your mate is having more fun with extra company and seems to evade any extra alone time with you, don’t make a big deal out of it. If you can let it go, by Sunday you may have an opportunity to dig into his or her psyche.

 
Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not feel the love this week … at least not in the way you’d expect from your partner. With all of the incredible professional opportunities you’ve had, you would expect a round of applause — or at least a pat on the back — from your mate. Instead, on Saturday you may feel as if he or she is pulling you down as you take your next step up the career ladder of success. Before you feel too crushed, try to figure out his or her motivation. If it’s related to his or her insecurity about reaching goals, you might be able to level the playing field. Remind your partner how awesome he or she is in your eyes.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s possible that you’ll reconnect with a lover from your past that has a background different than yours. This could be religious or cultural but whatever the case, if you happen to meet up again sparks are likely to fly. In fact, you might seriously wonder why you and this person parted ways in the past. Saturday will be especially glorious for love but on Sunday be careful not to reveal too much to a friend. He or she may not support your decision to reunite

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Friday will be a magnificent day to have an in-depth conversation with your mate about anything spiritual or mind expanding. You might, for example, discuss profound topics relating to your belief in a higher power or a specific religion. Whatever the details, you’ll feel mentally engaged and in agreement with your mate. If you’re dating someone casually then Saturday might be tense. There might be a problem in the bedroom that neither one of you is willing to discuss. If you don’t, it might unravel the relationship potential.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

With Venus still moving through your relationship sector, you may be in a phase where you and your mate are able to enjoy each other’s company even more. This Saturday you’ll likely experience a double-edged sword when it comes to partnership. First, communication between you and your love will be extraordinary and you might feel motivated to clear up a previously unresolved issue. The bad news is that there might be a problem at home that is so frustrating, it distracts you from romance.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Pluto, the planet of depth and transformation, is making its way slowly through your true love sector. This process will continue to unfold for years to come and the end result will be a complete death and rebirth regarding everything you thought you knew about matters of the heart. This week, you might experience a positive breakthrough with your mate as you are both willing to discuss the most intimate matters.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might struggle this week with feeling as if you’re selling yourself short when it comes to love. Perhaps you aren’t feeling as confident as usual and you’re coming to terms with the fact that you’re settling for a romance that doesn’t truly meet your needs. While you may be incredibly attracted to this person on a physical level, it may be an empty attraction if your lover doesn’t respect you for who you are and what you can bring to a partnership.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If your family appears to love your partner more than you do this week, it may be a red flag that something is wrong. In the eyes of your clan, it may seem as if your mate is absolutely gracious, charming and social. Behind closed doors, however, there might be a very different reality. You might feel as if your relationship is becoming too much of a burden, that it’s preventing you from moving forward with personal ambitions. Talk it out.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you’re in a solid relationship, this week the communication between you will be effortless. You’ll make a decision together relating to family and finances that you’re both in unanimous agreement about. If you’re single, a New Moon in your romance sector on Sunday may bring a love interest your way — but it appears that this person will either have a lot of baggage, or even anger issues to work out. You might feel that, in the end, despite your attraction it’s not worth getting involved.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be excited to share a potential career “win” with your lover this weekend only to discover that he would rather celebrate your victory privately rather than in the company of friends. In fact, it’s possible that your sweetheart and a mutual friend may be on the outs, which will put you in an uncomfortable position. Resolve not to get caught in the middle of what’s likely a temporary bit of drama. Besides, you have more important things to focus your energy on these days.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You and your lover may decide to plan a vacation together to a location that you’ve both been to before and absolutely adore. This may be your special place … a locale that you each find relaxing and recharging. The only trouble may be that as you attempt to get your plans off the ground, your boss makes a demand on you career-wise that could make it tricky to travel far away from home. Before you resign yourself to disappointment see what happens. You may need to postpone the trip, but not cancel it entirely.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

With communication planet Mercury (the ruler of your partnership sector) in your sign, you may have an almost telepathic ability to understand what your mate is thinking and feeling. This week, you’ll be able to use this sensitive intuition to your benefit. On Wednesday you and your lover will enjoy romantic and even enchanting conversations. Then, on Friday consider planning a social night out to attend a party, event or other group related gathering. You’ll feel mentally connected even when you’re not actually speaking to each other.

Daily OM for November 9th – Being Alone

Being Alone

A Relationship with Self

by Madisyn Taylor

By allowing ourselves to be comfortable with being alone, we can become the people with whom we want to have a relationship.

 

The most important relationship we have in our lives is with our selves. And even though we are the only ones who are present at every moment of our lives—from birth onward—this relationship can be the most difficult one to cultivate. This may be because society places such emphasis on the importance of being in a romantic partnership, even teaching us to set aside our own needs for the needs of another. Until we know ourselves, however, we cannot possibly choose the right relationship to support our mutual growth toward our highest potential. By allowing ourselves to be comfortable with being alone, we can become the people with whom we want to have a relationship.

Perhaps at no other time in history has it been possible for people to survive, and even thrive, while living alone. We can now support ourselves financially, socially, and emotionally without needing a spouse for survival in any of these realms. With this freedom, we can pursue our own interests and create fulfilling partnerships with friends, business partners, creative cohorts, and neighbors. Once we’ve satisfied our needs and created our support system, a mate then becomes someone with whom we can share the bounty of all we’ve created and the beauty we’ve discovered within ourselves.

As we move away from tradition and fall into more natural cycles of being in the world today, we may find that there are times where being alone nourishes us and other periods in which a partnership is best for our growth. We may need to learn to create spaces to be alone within relationships. When we can shift our expectations of our relationships with ourselves and others to opportunities for discovery, we open ourselves to forge new paths and encounter uncharted territory. Being willing to know and love ourselves, and to find what truly makes us feel deeply and strongly, gives us the advantage of being able to attract and choose the right people with whom to share ourselves, whether those relationships fall into recognizable roles or not. Choosing to enjoy being alone allows us to fully explore our most important relationship—the one with our true selves.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, September 29

We feel another wave of intensity today as the Sun forms an unstable square to evocative Pluto. We play hard and fast with our emotions when the Moon blasts into impulsive Aries at 9:13 am EDT. We might even try to manage our feelings by turning our desires into a plan and our fears into action. The Aries Full Moon at 11:18 pm pushes us closer to the edge of a cliff; we’re ready to jump, but the rational Libra Sun offsets our reckless tendencies.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There may be disagreements in a personal or business relationship because your goals clash with someone else’s. Unfortunately, the Aries Full Moon raises questions that have no easy answers. Instead of seeking a resolution now, find common ground. Ironically, if you can understand each other’s point of view, your differing perspectives might actually provide positive motivation. You’re on an emotional roller-coaster ride today so beware that you’re prone to overreact. Take a deep breath and give everyone a break.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Today’s energetic Aries Full Moon activates your 12th House of Fantasy, prompting you to seek ways to escape from your responsibilities. You realize that you’re heading into a very busy time, so you’re inclined to do less now to conserve your energy. Nevertheless, you gain steam throughout the day. Give up some of your downtime to complete as many chores as possible so you have less to do later on.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Put your best foot forward at social events this weekend to make the most of the enthusiastic Aries Full Moon that falls in your 11th House of Networking. Be open to an unexpected turn of events today, even if it’s upsetting at first. Rather than trying to influence a situation that’s beyond your control, change your response to it. You’re not in charge of everything, but you are fully responsible for your behavior.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might think it’s not fair if you keep an open mind while someone else has such a rigid perspective that there’s little room for discussion or compromise. Nevertheless, you’re willing to talk about your feelings now that the enterprising Aries Full Moon culminates in your 10th House of Public Responsibility. Discuss the larger issue of negotiation itself to ensure everyone agrees that winning an argument is less important than cooperating for the good of all.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you see the blinking red light ahead, you might not heed the warning. You’re too impatient to wait now that the action-packed Aries Full Moon occupies your 9th House of Adventure, encouraging you to step on the gas before you know where you’re going. But your long-term thinking runs into more immediate concerns if your day brings a surprising event or two. Even if you want to focus on the future, you’re better off paying attention to what’s happening this moment.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have too many ideas to put into action today, but as the day progresses you are able to hone in on the best ones. Your power to concentrate is strong now as the ardent Aries Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing dredges up forgotten memories. You could be surprised by what you discover from your persistent digging. If you keep an open mind and continue to trust those who have earned it, you can emerge from this process with stronger values and higher self-esteem.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you are struggling to establish your place in a significant relationship, your life may get even more complicated today. Whatever you choose to do could go against the grain now that the independent Aries Full Moon rattles your 7th House of Partnerships. You’re not purposefully trying to be difficult or rebellious; you simply want to do what’s right. Don’t let anyone talk you out of following your instincts. Trusting your inner voice today will lead you in the right direction.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s Aries Full Moon in your 6th House of Health and Habits is square ruthless Pluto, portraying a classic struggle between light and dark. As Lord of the Underworld, Pluto’s domain is unconscious and hides in the shadows. It’s not easy to bring up certain topics for discussion now, but you cannot afford to let them slide. Take the risk and follow the light of the Sun; awareness rather than denial opens a path toward peace of mind.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The excitable Aries Full Moon brightens your 5th House of Creativity, lighting you up with new ideas. You feel as if you’re back on track and that recognition will soon be coming your way. Don’t pump up your self-esteem too much because overconfidence is an invitation to crash on the rocks. Go ahead and make something special happen by inspiring others with your optimism and talent.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might want to hide out and let the world pass you by now that the reckless Aries Full Moon occupies your 4th House of Security. Meanwhile, the Sun’s square to powerful Pluto in your sign can stir up fears about the possibility of failure. Retreating to the safety of your home could help you gain a better perspective on the weeks ahead. Instead of falling victim to self-doubt and worry, apply your energy toward your success.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The air is buzzing from the enthusiastic Aries Full Moon’s presence in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. You are quite active now and probably have much to do, but you could benefit by taking time to prioritize all the possible activities. In the big scheme of things, today’s dramas are not as significant as you may think. Try to step back from all the action rather than being swept up in it.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be short on time, energy or money today as the impulsive Aries Full Moon charges up your 2nd House of Resources. If you think you have mismanaged a project you might overcompensate now, bolting ahead early in the day. But your eagerness could stir up resistance from others, even if you’re not sure why anyone would stand in your way. Hold on to your position and don’t push the panic button. A steady and methodical approach works best in the long run.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of September 18

The provocative Uranus-Pluto square is wired for action this week, catching us off guard with unexpected events and surprise encounters. Strange thoughts and intense conversations can push us out of our comfort zones on Thursday, yet a shakeup that exposes the truth could eventually smooth the way to love. On Saturday, the Sun’s move into the relationship sign of Libra provides a fresh start toward new alliances, and more cooperation and harmony in existing ones. Being kind to others starts with being kind to ourselves first.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Thursday and Friday are fun and flashy with the adventurous Sagittarius Moon encouraging bold action and risky behavior. The rest of the weekend, though, is about restraint and responsibility with the serious Capricorn Moon rewarding acts of patience and maturity. On Saturday, the Sun’s shift into fair-minded Libra and your 7th House of Partners may grace you with sweet companionship that requires you to make compromises to keep everyone happy.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Keeping a lid on your feelings is not recommended when the passionate Scorpio Moon occupies your 7th House of Partnerships on Tuesday and Wednesday. Trying to avoid conflict by staying silent is likely to lead to more troublesome issues later on. Sure, it’s messy to bring up delicate subjects, yet spilling secrets and facing facts frees your heart. Initiating an honest conversation can help to heal a current relationship or make you more effective in pursuing a new one. There’s no denying it’s an unsettling week, but you should find some stable ground to stand on once the Moon moves into reliable Capricorn on Saturday afternoon.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Conversations could be intense on Thursday when your verbal ruling planet Mercury crashes into explosive Uranus and suspicious Pluto. It’s easy to touch a nerve with a careless word or to feel put down by someone’s unkind comment. The temptation to react strongly might be difficult to avoid. That’s fine if you’re willing to shake the core of your present relationship or radically alter your ideas about what you must do to find a new one. Nevertheless, take a deep breath and remain calm or you might say something you will quickly regret.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This weekend is your time to take a stand in relationships. The Moon enters authoritative Capricorn and your 7th House of Partners on Saturday afternoon, which might leave you feeling like you’re under someone’s thumb unless you take charge of your life. Letting others know exactly what you want and don’t want may not feel romantic in the moment. But being perfectly clear about your expectations is a positive start to creating a healthy balance where you have more control over personal matters.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Fiery fun and a ferocious sense of playfulness are in the stars for you Lions on Thursday and Friday. The adventurous Sagittarius Moon heats up your 5th House of Romance to spark some provocative behavior. However, it’s wise to pick your audience and your moments carefully since a misplaced word to the wrong person or at an inappropriate time might produce a very unfriendly response. The Sun’s shift into pacifying Libra and your communicative 3rd house on Saturday is ideal for making amends.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your cerebral planet Mercury runs into a buzz saw of complexity with stressful aspects to shocking Uranus and secretive Pluto on Thursday. If you’ve been keeping your mouth shut about a critical subject, the truth may pop out unexpectedly. Clearing the air ultimately should be helpful prior to the potential love fest that might start on Saturday afternoon. The Moon’s shift into earthy Capricorn and your 5th House of Romance charges up the rest of the weekend with passion and creativity.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Sun’s shift into your charming sign on Saturday is bound to boost your spirits. Having more drive, confidence and energy empowers you to take the lead in relationships. But with the Moon’s presence in serious Capricorn and your homey 4th house this weekend, it’s wise to be cautious and consider the long-term consequences of your actions instead of playing fast and loose. Earning respect takes more time and effort on your part, but produces more enduring results.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Demonstrating your integrity is essential this weekend with the responsible Capricorn Moon occupying your 3rd House of Communication on Saturday and Sunday. This is a perfect time to resolve problems in relationships with serious conversations and sincere actions. But if you’re single and looking, you might find that a professional chat may lead to a more personal kind of connection. Just be as honest as you can without coming on so intensely that you push an interesting person away.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s presence in your outspoken sign may loosen your tongue on Thursday and Friday. Playful banter is fun and flirty, but the atmosphere is thick with an underlying mistrust that can be triggered with a careless remark. It’s best to stick to one subject at a time as even simple comments have a way of expanding into full blown discussions. If you’re feeling restless, though, this is definitely a time when you can radically alter the course of a relationship or the way you search for love.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon in your sign brings your emotions to the surface on Saturday and Sunday. Don’t be afraid to show your vulnerability, as this kind of tenderness can make you more endearing to others. Letting people help you for a change is an invitation to intimacy. It also shows that you trust them, which brings you a step closer to love. Sharing power and being mutually supportive will require compromises along the way, but can pay off by leading to a true partnership.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could feel deep rumblings of change going on underneath the surface this week. A disruptive Uranus-Pluto square is zapped by mouthy Mercury on Thursday, possibly sparking a sudden crisis or dropping a surprise in your lap. Yet if you remain positive and open-minded, life-changing breakthroughs are possible. You can unearth hidden resources, resolve mysteries, and discover new ways to express your creativity. Just remember to honor the emotions in your heart as much as you honor the brilliant thoughts running through your head.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to take relationships to the next level this Saturday. The Sun enters accommodating Libra and your 8th House of Intimacy, opening the door to deeper connections. Conversation is the key to getting closer, since mind-reading is not always a reliable way to communicate. If you’re single, a friendly and objective person could introduce you to someone new or show you another way to look at love. Fairness and frankness are essential ingredients for building a foundation of love.

Tiger

Can you think of a good reason to have an argument? Maybe, and maybe not, but you may find yourself getting into a “War au Verbiage” today, and believe it or not, it could actually be empowering. If you normally “fight”, try listening. If you normally “flee” … then stand your ground.
