Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 2nd

Aries

The pace tends to be busy today, dear Aries, largely because your curiosity is big and attention span a little short. There can be some conflicts between the desire for freedom and the need to tend to work and routines. It may be a little difficult to discipline yourself now, particularly if your heart’s not into what you’re doing at the moment. Fortunately, the month ahead brings building motivation levels and a stronger sense of purpose or mission. Today, take in, connect, and learn.

Taurus

There could be commitments to help people out today that get in the way of your own plans, needs, or wants, dear Taurus. Your emotional focus is more practical than anything today, and you could feel a stronger need to produce or to be productive, but distractions are likely. If you can manage it, you may be better off working by and for yourself just for now. Fine-tune plans right now, and get the details right before moving things along.

Gemini

It can be a little difficult balancing home and friends today, dear Gemini, or you could find yourself in the position to explain that an outside commitment prevents you from spending time with someone in your life. Focus on physical work, if possible, that gets you ahead, because energy channeled constructively can prevent nervous tension or restlessness. The Moon in your sign brings buried emotions to the forefront, and you can find easy expression in creative pursuits today. You might discover that you’re in demand today.

Cancer

You might find that you’re in demand today, dear Cancer, or possibly called upon to do your duties or perform your responsibilities when your mind is elsewhere. Obligations can conflict with what you’d rather be doing, and certainly, you’re in need of some rest and emotional renewal. Work can be overwhelming today, but you’re in demand and this can be considered a good thing! Revisions made now to projects or your work can be especially beneficial in the future. You’re inclined to keep to yourself or require some break from the hustle and bustle with the Moon in the sign behind yours all day.

Leo

There could be some seesawing between impatience and caution today, dear Leo. Part of you wants to explore your horizons and your options, and another part would prefer to focus on what you’ve already been building. Don’t let this predicament keep you in a state of “not doing”. If you’re on the fence, put your efforts into something you absolutely know needs doing, and then return to your decision a little more refreshed and less burdened. The Moon is in your solar eleventh house all day so that connecting with others in some way can help fill you emotionally.

Virgo

You may be feeling a little pressured to make a decision or to make changes today, dear Virgo, but it may be best to slow down or wait until you are more “in the know” and feeling clearer. Try to control impulses to act hastily. Others could be pushing your buttons, or there could be a lack of appreciation for all that you do, and this can be frustrating. However, you’re certainly coming into your own. It’s probably better to do things at your own pace or independently rather than waiting on others for their input. The Moon is in your solar tenth house all day, at the top of your solar chart, and you could feel that you’re in the spotlight – people seem to be taking note of what you are doing, or haven’t done! This can be a good time to follow the rules and fill your responsibilities to the best of your ability.

Libra

Try not to spend too much time on inner conflicts today, dear Libra, as this can lead to unnecessary stress, anguish, and a state of limbo that gets you nowhere. It’s best to turn your attention to what needs doing and then coming back to your predicament or decision after you’ve had time to process things. It can be rather futile to do battle with others or the outside world when you are conflicted on the inside. A partner may remind you of a commitment or obligation that you’d prefer to forget, or they may be challenging your intentions. However, the Moon’s presence in your sector of adventure and higher thinking can pull you out of a funk. It can be fairly easy to work off steam by channeling emotions and energy into a creative pursuit.

Scorpio

You could be feeling a little divided in both attention and time today, dear Scorpio, particularly between work or the responsibilities of your daily affairs and your personal or social life. Your mind can be elsewhere as you fill your duties, but you can’t entirely enjoy yourself until they are filled! It can be difficult to get others to cooperate with you just for now, especially if you are having a hard time sorting out your own desires and needs. However, this is a good time for discoveries about feelings and emotions. In fact, you may have a eureka of sorts about a past matter that is quite satisfying.

Sagittarius

You could be having a hard time concentrating and focusing today, dear Sagittarius, and may not know where to direct your time, energy, and attention. An obligation to someone in your life might be interfering with the need to push a business or career project forward. Try to slow down and avoid the unnecessary stress of indecision. Avoid trying to fix situations or people when it’s probably best to let thing play out naturally or the let things be. Today is best used for tending to details and fixing problems rather than pushing forward without a defined goal. With the Moon in your partnership zone, you may want to lean on someone you trust.

Capricorn

You could have some problems coming together with others smoothly today, dear Capricorn, as relations may feel a little off at times, as if you’re getting in the way of each other. This is simply a timing issue – something that happens now and again and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. However, it’s best to avoid pushing forward with your ideas or plans on a day when timing is a little off. Focusing on practical matters and details can be better than doing big-picture thinking, decision-making, and goal-setting. The Moon in your solar sixth house all day reinforces this, as it’s a good time for ironing out problem or weak areas in your life.

Aquarius

Although your life sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride these days, dear Aquarius, there could be a part of you that enjoys the challenge or intuitively understands that some change is necessary in order to pull you out of a rut. Today, you may be confronting the part of you that is looking to stir things up, and you might consider ways to let this work for you rather than against you! The Moon spends the day in your sector of play and creativity, and this can certainly elevate your spirits, particularly as the Moon connects with the Sun in your sector of higher thinking and spirit.

Pisces

You could be dealing with crossed wires that leaves you lacking the necessary information or confidence to make an important decision today, dear Pisces. It may be better to wait things out. October is actually quite powerful for decision making and confidence generally speaking after the 9th. Instead of getting worked up unnecessarily over things you can’t currently change, attempt to focus on productive, positive efforts and activities. Part of you is attracted to the excitement of a challenge, and another part is drawn to things and situations that keep you feeling balanced and steady. Try not to let this inner tug of war keep you in a state of limbo or stress you out.

Get a Jump on Tomorrow,

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, September 5th

by Rick Levine

General Horoscope

We may appear easygoing at first but strong convictions override our desire for a lighthearted conversation with everyone we meet. The interactive Gemini Moon enables us to flirt with more meaningful issues without necessarily becoming emotionally involved. However, the willful Sun forms a free-flowing trine with unrelenting Pluto, driving our feelings into the eye of any hurricane in the vicinity. Clever words give way to passionate encounters.

Aries Horoscope

Mar 21 – Apr 19

Nothing is more important to you today than living up to other people’s expectations and you might even become obsessive about doing the right thing. Your drive to finish what you start is probably much stronger than your need to be distracted. You understand that you have no other option but to take care of unfinished business before you run out of time. There are deadlines to meet and your reputation is at stake; it’s now or never.

Taurus Horoscope

Apr 20 – May 20

Your emotional steadiness goes beyond a textbook description of a stubborn Bull. Romantic concerns that might normally be upsetting are taken in stride today because you believe you can safely say what’s on your mind. However, you might have a sneaky suspicion that no one is listening to you. But don’t rock the boat just to see if anyone is paying attention. Waiting for the right moment to have a rational discussion is less stressful for everyone involved and more effective in the long run.

Gemini Horoscope

May 21 – Jun 20

You’re confident you can communicate your ideas easily today, and you expect others to be charmed by your charisma. Although you may be poised to swing into action before you have all the details in place, your cavalier attitude clashes with a more contemplative side of your personality that comes to the forefront now. Assimilate your careful analysis into your strategy, for it helps you hit your target with even more accuracy. Practice makes perfect.

Cancer Horoscope

Jun 21 – Jul 22

Your brain may win out over your heart in an internal struggle between logic and emotions. But it isn’t wise to overreact to a situation before you allow sufficient time to process your feelings. It makes good sense to override a strong attraction that will only add drama to your life as long as you don’t just shut down prematurely out of fear. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is to take care of yourself.

Leo Horoscope

Jul 23 – Aug 22

It could seem as if you have reached the end of the road and that summer is already over, even though it’s not. However, your anticipation of the future heightens your sense of urgency today as the Moon highlights your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes. You might try to squeeze so much into your schedule that you don’t have time to enjoy any of it. Nevertheless, a more deliberate approach works if you stop and set priorities early in the day. Oddly enough, slowing down enables you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible.

Virgo Horoscope

Aug 23 – Sep 22

You may be locked in an endless debate that has no clear winner as passionate Pluto aligns with the practical Virgo Sun today. Your words sound overly emotional, even if that’s not how you feel. Although you might keep your vulnerability a secret for now, the truth will probably leak out soon enough, anyhow. Take control by shifting the conversation from a confrontational argument into an opportunity to share your passions. No one can find fault with your words as long as you communicate in a respectful manner.

Libra Horoscope

Sep 23 – Oct 22

You wish you could lean on others now, but everyone seems to be on their own edge of change and therefore somewhat unavailable. Meanwhile, you can find balance as long as you keep your worries to yourself. Unfortunately, you may be living under an illusion based upon what you don’t want to know. Nevertheless, it’s easier to simply take care of a problem by responding quickly than it is to wait and see what will happen next if you leave things alone. Don’t put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

Scorpio Horoscope

Oct 23 – Nov 21

Don’t quit now just because you’re feeling overwhelmed. Have faith that you can get through all your assignments if you simply focus on one task at a time. However, all kinds of distractions pull you away from your mundane commitments. Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to persistent Pluto blesses you with the ability to maintain your concentration, no matter what. You can reach your desired destination if you put your mind to it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Sagittarius Horoscope

Nov 22 – Dec 21

Although your enthusiastic nature can often move mountains, optimism alone isn’t enough to prepare you for the big changes ahead. Don’t try to fake competence or you could find yourself in over your head before you know it. You must clearly demonstrate your competence before you ask others to accept you as their leader. Your passion is inspirational but all talk and no action won’t get you very far today. Lead by example and not by command.

Capricorn Horoscope

Dec 22 – Jan 19

There’s so much uncontrollable energy floating around in the atmosphere today that you might not be able to suppress your current anxiety. However, you won’t find peace of mind by trying to run the entire show. Being in touch with your feelings isn’t necessarily a problem, especially if it motivates you to exert your authority over those parts of your life that are within your sphere of influence. But don’t fight an unwinnable battle; knowing when to let go can turn potential frustration into surprising satisfaction.

Aquarius Horoscope

Jan 20 – Feb 18

If there are lingering questions from a close friend or partner hanging between you, respond to them as fast as possible because your window of opportunity is closing quickly now. Instead of secretively manipulating the pieces of the puzzle, bring any remaining concerns out in the open while you can. Once all your cards are on the table today, it will be much easier to talk about what is wrong and discuss a variety of possible solutions. Clearing the air is the kindest thing you can do for all parties involved.

Pisces Horoscope

Feb 19 – Mar 20

Stand up and say what’s on your mind today because your words carry the intensity of the conviction of your beliefs. Go the extra mile to be completely honest with your friends while the Sun harmonizes with profound Pluto in your 11th House of Social Networking. Just be certain you’re making sense when you share your feelings, since you could be extremely passionate about a relationship issue now. Aim your thoughts carefully and don’t stray from your truth. Claim your power while you have the chance.

Message for September 2015

It is an inherent human tendency to try to fill life up with stuff: things to do, places to go, people to see, accomplishments to achieve. There is a sense of discomfort when it comes to consciously stepping into the silent moments as it is within the silence where truth resides. Truth isn’t about ‘answers’, it’s about looking into the mirror of one’s soul and actually genuinely seeing the reflection that looks back without trying to push it away or squash it with yet more stuff. It’s a willingness to stand in the silence, bare and without the distraction of stuff in order to see our true essence.

‘The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear’ Rumi

It’s as though the silence is too a powerful force for some people to face. Yet silence is the true healer in life, it can be found in the spaces in life: between the in and the out breath and in every nook and cranny. Silence is everywhere. Yet, silence is not empty: quite the opposite. Silence is full of life, vibrancy and passion. It is the force of creation and the inspiration of life. In today’s over-stimulated world, distraction can be found everywhere. There is a kind of white noise created by technology and a more intense buzz created by the millions of people lost in their virtual worlds.

Silence isn’t a void, silence is an inner stillness that allows us to hear and to see the true riches all around us. Silence can take us deep within and reconnect us to our emotional and spiritual depths.Without knowing silence, how can we truly appreciate everything else? The silence gives us context, just like day and night, dark and light, joy and pain. Yet Seeing things in such a black-and-white way takes away the context, textures and flavours of life. The silence isn’t a separate force, it is inherent within everyone and everything. Just as the air carries oxygen to every one of our billions of cells, the silence brings life to life.

Human beings are inherently strange and wonderful creations; a complex and awe-inspiring bundle of cells, thoughts and energy, held together by skin and bone. Despite the magnificence of life, the universe and of all the magic that occurs around us in any one given moment, we so often lose sight of our humanity, empathy and compassion, focusing on everything that’s wrong in our lives or doing our best not to notice.

On one hand we create musical masterpieces and discover cures for disease, on the other we decimate the oceans with rubbish and consistently find new ways to hurt each other. A puzzling and bewildering species, seeming growing ever more disconnected and discordant. Perhaps pushing away that silence in todays world of distraction has created a barrier that we have yet to fully comprehend? Whilst there are many of us who actively choose to leap into the silence, it seems important that we allow the silence to grow in order to reach out into the hearts and souls of everyone. It’s time to consciously allow the silence more room to breathe, thrive and flourish…

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

♈

The winds of change look set to gather momentum throughout September as life begins to open up in some unexpected and inspirational ways. There’s a sense that you have been on the brink of a new chapter of your life for quite some time but you have felt a little stuck between where you were and where you wanted to be. As a result, you have felt a growing sense of frustration as, despite your best efforts to push ahead, you have felt held back, as though you were tied to a piece of elastic, constantly coming back to the same place over and over again. Yet, when you look at the bigger picture of your life you will realise that your efforts haven’t been in vain as you have learned a great deal from your ‘period of elasticity’ (well, if you can think of a better phrase, then go for it), and you are now in a position to use some of that wisdom when it comes to riding those winds of change towards pastures new.

You are a free spirit at heart and although you take pride in working hard and trying to be the best ‘you’ you can be, there is a risk that such a strategy can keep you locked on being the person you feel you ought to be rather than the person you truly are. Similarly, this can also keep you focused on the frustration in connection to not being where you want to be in life. It’s important to instead start accepting where you are now and to realise that life is a journey: you will always be moving from where you were to where you want to be next…

Taurus

♉

Life frequently brings you to the threshold of change as it’s inevitable and inescapable. You often find yourself on the brink of something new and it can sometimes feel as though you are forever in a cycle of endings and beginning. As a result, you can feel overwhelmed at times as the frustration kicks in at the seeming intangibility of life and the world as you know it. Although you intuitively know that life is a cycle of change as you are forever changing, evolving and shifting, you want nothing more than to grab a piece of stable ground and set up home for a while in order to process and digest your life and your path. You want to rest in the moment and keep hold of it for long enough to breathe into it fully. Yet, as soon as you grab the moment, it passes and transforms into the next moment.

There is a chance you could drive yourself nuts trying to stand still in the flowing river of life, the effort and energy required to hold yourself upright as the currents push and pull you is huge, and yet, here you are, trying to stand your ground and get that bit of breathing space you long for. It seems a shift in perspective is needed now in order for you to stop feeling so frustrated at being a moving part in the ever-moving, ever-changing universe. Intuitively you want to flow, so why don’t you? Trying to make sense of life is a part of being human, but you can’t put life on hold in the process, you have to live it at the same time…

Gemini

♊

September looks set to be a month of revelation and reflection as you gaze deeply into the mirror or your life and allow it to gaze deeply into you. You are an intuitive and empathic soul, and you spend a great deal of time trying to make sense of ‘what is’ and ‘why it is the way it is’; you want to know the meaning of life and the meaning of the meaning of life. Although you know there are many questions in life without answers, you still seem keen to keep asking as you feel sure that, if you ask for long enough, the answers will surely come! There is absolutely nothing wrong in asking questions, after all, that’s how we learn, blossom and thrive, but it’s important to understand the motivations behind this as there are times when seeking answers to questions that don’t have answers is more of a distraction or avoidance technique than a quest to dig deeper and discover a new philosophy in life.

At the end of the day, only you know what drives you forward, but it seems important for you to understand yourself more in order to prepare yourself for a period of soul-searching and self-discovery. There are moments in life where you feel suspended in mid-air as you bridge the gap between one chapter and another; where you are not quite in the new chapter yet, but you can’t help but look ahead as it feels exciting and liberating. You are in one such moment at the current time and it’s important not to exhaust yourself with intense question asking and instead rest in the moment, step into the silence and allow the silence to step back into you…

Cancer

♋

Almost everyone has a bucket list of one kind or another in life, some even have bucket lists of bucket lists as they have so many things they want to do, be and achieve before they pop their clogs. Some have perfectly organised lists, colour co-ordinated and in alphabetical order whereas others just have a few ideas jotted on a piece of scrap paper tucked away inside their brains. Life is unquestionably short and with the inevitable uncertainty of exactly how much time we may or may not have hanging over us, it’s important to make the most of now and live in the moment. Intuitively you know this, but creating those lists and getting them right can be so consuming and absorbing, and you can sometimes lose sight of the need to experience the experiences you want to experience and instead spend your time listing and organising them.

Of course, thinking about your dreams and goals is important as these feed your enthusiasm for life and give you the incentive to step beyond the comfort zone, but the real joy comes from actually stepping beyond your comfort zone and living your dream. You are a wise, intuitive, creative and passionate soul, and September looks set to be a month where you begin to see yourself and your life from a new perspective as you contemplate what’s really important to you and what you really want from life. It’s time to let go of trying to do more, be more or achieve more in order to make others happy and it’s time to stop those ought’s from defining the path of your life. You are your own person, and the time has come for you to be you, only you and nothing but you…

Leo

♌

The theme of embracing the extraordinary continues in earnest throughout September as the bigger picture of your life starts to expand giving you a more panoramic perspective on your life and path ahead. For a long time now you have tried to be the person you felt you needed to be: the one that holds everything together, the one who thinks nothing of sacrificing your own needs for the sake of others. Such a strategy has turned you into the essential cog in the wheel of life; the one no one can do without. However, the cost of this has been a slow descent away from your true essence into a world of ‘ought’s’ and ‘should’s’ where you have lost sight of your fiery passion and creativity. As a result, the lion within you is more of a kitten these days.

Yet, there is much to be proud of here as you have inspired others to fly high and the time has now come for you to reconnect to the fire within your heart and soul in order to stretch out your own wings and gently flap them up and down as you embark on a new chapter in life. Embracing the extraordinary may sound very grandiose but, is essence, it is a time for you to turn to face your true self and to be the ‘you’ you know yourself to be. You are an extraordinary soul and the time has come to realise this. There is no ego gratification here, just a willingness to let your soul dance freely in the fires of life once again as you let your inner lion back out into the sunlight. You only have to look at that glistening mane to realise there is nothing ordinary about you…

Virgo

♍

Untangling the knots looks set to be a powerful theme for you throughout September as you begin a process of inner reflection and review. You have spent a long time trying to be the best you can be, working hard to achieve your goals and doing your best to stride ever-closer to your dreams. There is a sense that you have become so focused on where you are heading, you have forgotten to take note of where you are now. You are not the same person you were yesterday let alone last year or a decade ago; things change, and more importantly, you change. As a result, although you have been diligent to keep moving forward in life, you haven’t spent much time reviewing your path or yourself and, perhaps the goals you still have in your sights are not quite the right ‘fit’ for you anymore? There is no shame in this, after all, you are a constantly evolving human being, and, as you continue to flourish and grow, your priorities and needs change.

This isn’t to say all your hard work has been for nothing, as it hasn’t, you just need to use that formidable brain of yours to step back a little and regain some perspective in order to gather together the many facets of yourself and untangle any knots you may discover before moving forward once again. Life is essentially what you make of it, so why not take some time to contemplate what you truly want in order to re-focus your energy in new ways? This feels like a new start but it also feels like an opportunity for you to take a big deep breath and fully re-engage with yourself and your life once again…

Libra

♎

Human beings are an eclectic and perplexing bunch; no two are alike and, looking a little deeper, most are a bewildering blend of idiosyncrasies and quirks. Whilst this makes for an interesting and colourful world, it also makes the complexities of being human even more complicated as it can be so hard to make sense of life and to understand why things are the way they are. Although you know all of this, this wisdom doesn’t stop you from expending a great deal of time and energy looking for clarity and coherence where there isn’t any. As a result, there are times when you feel as though you are banging your head against a metaphorical brick wall as, despite knowing you’re doing it, you carry on in a determined and valiant effort to find clarity in order to move forward in life and, until that elusive clarity surfaces, you feel frozen in uncertainty and on pause, unable to move forward.

Some may call this ‘stuck in a rut’ but it’s significantly more complicated than this as for you, the ‘rut’ is more of an epic battle between you and your brain; the ‘rut’ is a gaping chasm created by your motivation and need for clarity and certainty even though intuitively you know you can’t have it. The inevitable frustration of realising you are not a super-human with the ability to guarantee the future and to know exactly why things are the way they are can hold you back and prevent you from living in the current moment. The main reason for this is because your focus in on where you want to be rather than where you are now. September looks set to be a month to come back to the present and to ‘be here now’…

Scorpio

♏

September looks set to be a month for exploring your true essence or sense of self as you begin to contemplate the bigger picture of your life. Intuitively you know yourself to be an intriguing, slightly mysterious, incredibly creative and extremely contradictory soul. The contradictions are not a criticism, more a reflection of your open and honest approach to life: being an open book. Well, although you may present yourself as an open book, on closer examination by someone that ‘knows’, all of those chapters you’ve squirrelled away over the years (those mysterious facets that make you, you) become far more obvious. Herein lies the contradiction: you can’t be an open and a closed book at the same time!

Having said this, there’s no reason for you to suddenly thrust yourself into the spotlight of life and lay yourself bare, but it does seem important for you to acknowledge your contradictions in order to make peace with them. Most of what lies hidden is connected to your creativity as you tend to box it away to make for an easier life, yet keeping your formidable creative power hidden stifles your life-force and stops you from being you. Of course, there is always a choice and you may choose to keep things exactly as they are, but only you can decide if you want to continue to ignore your soul calling you to find a new sense of balance. Being contradictory, mysterious and intriguing is a blessing, so why not embrace your true nature? The only person suffering as a result of your slightly closed-open book approach to life is you, so why not accept your quirks and contradictions, love them and be the best ‘you’ you know yourself to be?

Sagittarius

♐

Some prefer the purr of a sports car, others prefer the rattle of a battered old runabout. There are others who prefer the freedom of a motorbike and others who opt for the real horsepower of horses. Of course, there are those who choose the bus or train, but there are also those who prefer to sit on the sofa of life and contemplate which mode of transport they’d use given the opportunity. At heart, you have a little of all of these within you and there are times when you can oscillate between them as you try to navigate your way through life. Intuitively you know yourself to be a ‘wind through your hair’ kind of soul, heading out on the open road of life, ‘boldly going where no-one has gone before’. Yet, despite this adventure-seeking side of your nature, there are times when sitting on the sofa of life, eating popcorn and watching something mundane on the TV feels so attractive!

Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with having ‘sofa days’ you give yourself such a hard time for ‘taking time off’ from the real business of getting on with your life; you feel a constant inner pressure to push on, to do more, be more and achieve more. Yet, unless you take time out, isn’t there a chance you’ll forget what you’re aiming for? Sometimes you need some crappy TV or a walk in the park to take you out of yourself for a bit, sometimes ‘doing nothing’ is the most constructive thing to do as it resets your inner balance and helps you to regain your perspective on life. Stop giving yourself such a hard time, take a deep breath and let life breathe back into you…

Capricorn

♑

September looks set to be a month for some self-exploration as you begin to contemplate the area around the path you have been walking in life. This may, at first, seem slightly odd, after all, why would you need to explore the area around the path if you are already walking the path and know where you are heading? Yet, in many ways, it makes perfect sense, as to keep your focus narrowed onto the immediate area around your feet, you are missing out on seeing the wider perspective of your life. You may not feel drawn to see a wider perspective, but there is a sense that you need to at least pause to consider your options as it’s important to be sure of the reasons why you are not keen. Could it be you are so happy with things exactly as they are or have you just become stuck in a familiar routine and it’s easier to stick with it rather than risk upsetting the balance?

Obviously, only you know the answer to this question but if you are blissfully happy with everything exactly as it is, then you need read no further. However, if, as is more likely, things are feeling even just a little bit our of kilter in your life, then what have you got to lose by stepping back slightly to take a wider view on yourself, your life and your path? Whilst it may not be easy to create change as you have a plethora of responsibilities in life, use of the ‘i’ word is not in your vocabulary. Impossible? You? You are the master of ingenuity and creative thinking, therefore creating change is perhaps not as impossible as you’d like to think…

Aquarius

♒

Your quest for balance continues in earnest throughout September as you begin to explore new ways to live the best life you can possibly live. Although there is a sense you are a little jaded with the constant busy-ness of life, that spark of creativity within you continues to burn brightly, inspiring you to keep hold of your unique sense of self as well as re-igniting your passion and your dreams. It can be hard at times to manage the everyday pedestrian aspects of life when you are also honing, shaping and manifesting your creative spark at the same time, but if anyone can do this, it’s you. Living the best life possible takes courage, ingenuity and self-belief; it also takes a willingness to step fully into the present moment in order to be here now.

Whilst you are more than aware of the importance of the here and now, it can sometimes be tempting for you to lose yourself in your dreams and in your vision of what living the best life would be like, thus shifting your focus forward into what may, or may not, lie ahead. Of course, this is understandable, as it’s important for you to have a sense of purpose, but there is a risk that you could lose touch with where you are now. As a result, the focus falls onto the gap between here and there rather than on making the most of now. Balance comes from a willingness to let your dreams burn brightly but without allowing them to lift you away from the present moment. Living the best life possible is not a future state of being; it’s where you are right now…

Pisces

♓

September looks set to be a month of inspired and creative vision for you as your life looks set to open up in some new and exciting ways. Although you are quite a fluid and free-moving soul, there is a sense that you also quite like the feeling of knowing where you’re heading in life. So, more like the paddle on a steam boat than a piece of driftwood gently floating along with the ebb and flow; still in water, but one has considerably more ‘oomph’ than the other! Of course, even with a paddle steamer, there is a chance that the currents, tides and storms of life could send you off course, but, on the whole, as long as you steer, you will keep moving forward. As long as you steer? Oops, maybe that’s the problem? You’ve been so busy enjoying the journey and being distracted by the distractions of life that you’ve let go of the helm and let the boat steer itself.

Whilst this could be a wise and philosophical approach to living your life, intuitively you know you are nothing like that whimsical piece of driftwood, you do not ‘drift’ nor do you ‘ebb and flow’; you need to have a sense of direction in order to feel balanced and centred. Even though there are days when you cannot help but get caught up in the currents, it’s important not to allow these to consume and distract you from the business of living your life as this can leave you feeling trapped on one of life’s sandbanks. It seems the more you ‘own’ your true determined essence, the more you will realise that not only do you have the helm, but you have a map, a compass and an intuition that will take you wherever you need to go…

Your Horoscopes for Thursday, July 15th

Aries

Due to last night’s New Moon, home and family matters are in high focus, and new energy is with you to make improvements to these areas of your life, dear Aries. You might immerse yourself in family projects or home improvement activities. Family is more inclusive or you are more interested in setting things right. Later today, you could have a vague feeling that something is not right. Your perceptions may not be as reliable as they usually are, and reading too much into a situation may even get you into trouble. Avoid, as much as possible, spiraling thoughts and wrestling with regrets or recent decisions. You can feel out of touch. Even so, the Moon begins supporting your sign later morning, and this helps you to feel more alert, capable, and confident.

Taurus

There are likely to be busy days ahead of you with a New Moon in your solar third house, dear Taurus. New energy is with you for connecting, communicating, and learning. Ideas can fill your head, but so can too much information. Some of your ideas will take and others may not, but don’t worry about the difference between the two just yet. There’s no rush. Plan to make warm and interesting new connections with people, be open to the idea that you need more intellectual stimulation in your life, and look for ways you can improve your approachability. However, watch for taking on so many things that you feel overwhelmed. Later today, a mildly difficult aspect between the Sun and Neptune can point to a feeling that others are draining you of energy or confidence, which can be the result of their negativity or simply your expectations of them.

Gemini

A New Moon in your second house occurred last night, dear Gemini, and you are receiving wonderful energy for improving your finances and tending to your personal possessions. The impulse to buy something can be sudden and should probably be tamed just for now, until you get a plan in place. Ideas, and especially money-making ones, come to you with force and passion. Receive and enjoy them, and sort them out patiently as you go along. This can be the start of something special. Even so, later today, you may need to get over a temporary hump in the form of lack of confidence, a mental disconnect, or illusions related to money and work. Enjoy your imagination, but go slowly.

Cancer

The yearly New Moon in your sign has just occurred, dear Cancer, pointing to a time for personal new beginnings. What you’d like to change, improve, or initiate is in your hands. You’re suddenly more noticeable and “out there”, and it’s a good time to ride this energy. It’s also a time for personal re-invention. You are always in charge of your destiny, but times like now, you really feel it. Confidence comes across well; excessive preoccupation with yourself doesn’t! People believe in you, and this only serves to motivate you further to present the best version of yourself. However, later today, watch for some self-deception, as you may not be seeing yourself and others very clearly. You mean different things to different people and this can confuse true understanding of yourself, or you may be giving off mixed signals. Treat any hesitance you might feel now as a chance to slow down and make adjustments.

Leo

Last night’s New Moon occurred in your soul sector, dear Leo, launching a cycle in which you are strongly inclined to take charge of personal and private matters that need your attention, or give more time to a person in need or an important cause. Buried or neglected issues can demand your attention, but for some of you, you may need to take on a supportive role in which you sacrifice some of your personal plans and goals, at least temporarily, in order to take care of or help out other people. You might take the lead on such a matter, or if you are the one who needs extra rest, then you’ll push for that. If you’ve been neglecting your psychic, spiritual, and emotional needs, then this is a time that forces you to acknowledge and tend to them. Later today, a minor difficult aspect involving the Sun (your ruler) in this same sector can leave you yearning for more and especially sensitive psychically. Try not to over-think things. Stick to the simple now.

Virgo

Pay special attention to who you meet and ideas that come to you around now, dear Virgo. The New Moon that occurred last night energized your sector of friendships, networking, community involvement, new ideas, technology, and aspirations. What’s happening around the time of this lunation helps pave the way for personal changes and new beginnings. There can be new friends or associations with groups and people who share some similar interests or a common goal, or new beginnings with existing connections. A New Moon is about taking the lead and taking charge. Open yourself to the need for people in your life who offer you new perspectives, a change of pace, and some exciting variety to your daily life. Tonight, however, there can be some tendency to nurse an idealized image of someone or a plan. There can be a strong desire to believe in someone, but at the same time, fear that you’ll discover reasons not to. Try to avoid over-thinking.

Libra

Last night, a New Moon occurred in your profession and reputation sector, dear Libra. Even if you’re happy in your position as it stands, there are always some tweaks that can be made to improve your professional and public life. New projects and goals, and possibly even a new area of focus on the job, may emerge in the coming days and weeks. Enter these with healthy confidence, not over-confidence. Take the time to plan, and act rather than react. You have more impact on others than usual, so use this time in the spotlight well. Later today, however, when it comes to practical matters, you just aren’t seeing things realistically. In fact, you can swing from pie in the sky to negative thinking, making it a less than ideal time for making big purchases and business decisions. Daydream rather than make solid plans just for now.

Scorpio

Your spirit to explore beyond the ordinary experiences in your life is powerful now and in the coming weeks, dear Scorpio. A New Moon occurred in your expansion sector last night, and this gives you extra energy and resolve to seek out new experiences on mental, physical, and spiritual planes. This can be a period for beginning new activities or projects that feed your thirst for mind-expanding experiences. This is a time of increased bravery and spontaneity. Later today, you may be dealing with mixed messages and minor irritations or delays. The tendency to act in conditioned rather than mindful ways is strong right now, and you would do well to identify these patterns so that you can step around them. Otherwise, it’s a decent day for daydreaming and fantasizing. Take things easy, and slowly right now.

Sagittarius

Last night’s New Moon energized your sector of intimacy and sharing – a sector of your chart that’s making a lot of headlines these days! Now and in the coming weeks, dear Sagittarius, there can be a feeling of revitalization on a deep, inner level. This can be experienced in your relationship with yourself and/or in a partnership. Inhibitions can drop and there is more acceptance of the deeper side of your personality. Alternatively, you might have had enough of a bad habit, addiction, or superstition, and you are suddenly motivated to end it. It’s a time for getting rid of burdens, or sharing their weight with trusted others. You might decide to rid yourself of clutter or debt. You may be saying goodbye to a bad attitude or habit, or getting closer to someone who makes you feel better about yourself. Later today, there is a tendency for people to be indirect, which can be especially annoying to Sagittarians! It’s not the best time for healthy relating patterns, but consider that you might need some personal space.

Capricorn

Last night’s New Moon brings you good energy for starting a new partnership or committing to a new way of enhancing a current relationship, dear Capricorn. Someone in your life could need more support or attention and you may need to put your own plans on hold. It’s time to strengthen your relationships, negotiate, compromise, and strike up deals. It can be a strong period for communications in one-on-one setups. Take in now, and take action when it feels right. If you need to take charge of a relationship issue, you’ll feel the energy to do so. Later today, situations and people may leave you feeling drained or confused. There is a vacillating energy tonight that is best handled by imagining or enjoying entertainment and art than for serious thinking.

Aquarius

You can be tempted and motivated to totally rework your daily routines now with the New Moon having just occurred in your solar sixth house last night, dear Aquarius. A new health program or fitness routine could be implemented now, or you could be doing a top to bottom reorganization of your workspace or home. Whatever gets you more organized and feeling in charge of your daily life is favored. A new project, work task, or even line of work can be on the table. This is an important time for clearing clutter, both physical and mental. Take advantage, but take it easy. Tonight, dreamy or creative activities can be nice detours from pressures.

Pisces

You’re receiving a nice boost of energy that jumpstarts a cycle in which taking charge of your life is appropriate, dear Pisces, particularly when it comes to romance, children, creativity, and entertainment. This is a time for making improvements to your life that help restore balance. You are in need of quality leisure time and channels for expressing yourself creatively. Ideas for enjoying life’s more playful moments can come to you in a rush, or opportunities can suddenly appear, ready to grab. Even if your life seems crammed with things to do, you need to learn to make the most of the time you do have for enjoying yourself. Later today, you may be giving off mixed signals, but who can really blame you? It’s hard to project confidence and clarity if you’re not feeling these things inside. If you feel out of the loop, which is quite possible tonight and early tomorrow, hold off. Be easy on yourself.

Planet Tracker

Moon in Pisces

Jul 5, 2015 to Jul 7, 2015

On a Pisces Moon, think foot massage. Soak your soles in a calming lavender bath. Feet are ruled by Pisces; maybe it’s the way they cushion against the hard ground. Let yourself drift and dream today. Forget that pressured list in your day planner; don’t bother with a watch. You’ll accomplish more by letting your intuition guide you from this to that. Mood enhancers are films, music and poetry. But watch the spaced-out bag boy at the supermarket; he’s likely to leave your ice cream on the checkout stand. Steer clear of whiners and martyrs. There’s moisture in the air-fog, mist, tears. Better to convert self-pity or sentimentality into a broader compassion for the world. And if you’ve let your meditation practice lapse, this is a great Moon to return. Find the window that opens to your one-ness with all.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 30th

Aries

There can be a building desire to improve these days, dear Aries, although there can be a hurdle today that likely revolves around the past or your own guilty feelings about enjoying yourself and moving forward in your love life. Do what you can to build your faith in your creativity and make peace with the past. This will free you up to take better advantage of opportunities this week, as you are looking especially good and might even be the object of desire. Charm comes naturally. Good energy is with you for expanding your personal horizons through creative endeavors. Love can be magical and your powers of attraction are strong. It’s a good time for friendships and dating, personal attraction, and your social life in general. There may be good news on a financial level for some of you, and a sense of abundance for others.

Taurus

There can be some frustrations with friends and family if they are not mixing well in some way, dear Taurus, or you could be feeling conflicted about plans that haven’t come together well. Adjustments and sacrifices are in order, but dealing with these now can help to free you up for real opportunities revolving around your home, family, and personal life later today and tomorrow. Nice opportunities can arise to bond with those closest to you. This can also be a time for buying a special item for the home, or when money comes through. Taking a trip down memory lane can be satisfying now. There is mostly good humor today, although you can be a little prone to impracticality and exaggeration. This is a good time to expand contact, strengthen ties, and find peace with the past. Your powers of attraction skyrocket.

Gemini

If you’ve been taking on too many new interests, you’ll feel the need to tone things down, dear Gemini. There can be information overload, or new information comes up that challenges a previous belief or your own optimistic outlook. Find ways to straighten things out now, and to alleviate stress, as a very pleasant aspect occurring later today and into tomorrow can bring opportunities. Let go of attitudes and projects that no longer serve you or that are less important so that you can make room for the new. Watch for opportunities in the form of new interests, connections, and learning. For some, there could be a creative project, speaking engagement, a publishing of your work, or even a romantic connection made. Success tends to come through word of mouth, others, or clever ideas. People are appreciating your ideas and the power of your words is strong. Your good cheer and optimism can help strengthen close relationships.

Cancer

Something happening today, or simply a feeling, can lead you to question a belief, goal, project, or even a person, dear Cancer. If you don’t have the answers right now, have faith that you may not need them at the moment. Consider carefully ways that guilt may be undermining you or keeping you from enjoying yourself. There is a Venus-Jupiter alignment today and tomorrow that can bring in nice prospects or opportunities to feel more comfortable and secure. Money is not just about security for you these days, however – it’s also about freedom. You may be especially motivated to make more, and this attitude can bring greater wealth into your life. This can be a good time for starting or advancing projects that have long-term appeal and profitability. Some of you could uncover a resource or information that benefits you greatly. There could be a significant gift or bonus or you may simply be feeling generous, with others and yourself! Opportunities to make more money could emerge for some of you. Think big and vow to take care of the details later, as the details may not yet be clear – do some overview thinking.

Leo

Jupiter in your sign tends to put you in the spotlight in a very pleasant way these days, dear Leo, but when it forms difficult aspects, there can be some downsides. Today, Jupiter is in awkward angle to Chiron, and you could suddenly feel that you have less answers than you did before. It’s a brief time of doubting or questioning where you’re headed, your current path, or your alliances, and for some, a moral dilemma can be part of the picture. Simplifying, organizing, and eliminating excess can be helpful if you’re feeling uncertain. Look for ways to make adjustments so that you can fully enjoy Jupiter’s alignment with Venus, which can fill you with a nice sense of abundance, perhaps as if puzzle pieces are coming together. Attracting support from others, if you need it, can be easier, and romantic attention is quite likely. You would do well to put a past grudge behind you, as this is a good time for it. You tend to gravitate towards healthy people and situations.

Virgo

A close relationship might be a little strained today, dear Virgo, if topics are being dredged up from the past, or a secret emerges in a disruptive manner. Insecurities can cloud judgment right now. However, find ways to move out of your comfort zone and rise above insecurities and fears, as there can be distinct opportunities to free yourself from a burdensome attachment. Some of you can benefit from synchronicity – something surfaces now, such as an unusual coincidence, that brings some joy into your life. A private matter can also stimulate happy and warm feelings. Helping others, performing a generous act or service, and possibly behind the scenes or anonymously, can be satisfying. Some of you could revive an old relationship or find out about a secret attraction. Love may be complicated but rich. There can be the discovery of an untapped resource now.

Libra

You might come to a realization or concern that certain details of a project or goal are not particularly practical and realistic, dear Libra. If you’ve been taking on too much recently, you’ll feel that excess now and wonder how you can manage everything. However, it’s very important to make the adjustments you need to make and avoid dwelling on the negative now, as there is also strong energy for opportunities. You are connecting with spirited, interesting people, and while your eagerness to share and enjoy others can sometimes have you going overboard, approaching these things with a little more moderation can be wonderful and a stress reducer. Positive attention can come through enthusiastically helping others. For some of you, a friend can come to your aid. Some of you might enjoy new friendships or meet a love interest through a group, friend, or social networking. Don’t hide yourself away at this time, but also be wary of overdoing your pursuit of pleasure or for taking on too many commitments.

Scorpio

A recurring aspect between Jupiter in your reputation /career sector and Chiron in your sector of romance / creativity comes exact today, dear Scorpio, and this is the final one in a set. For some of you insecurities can emerge when it comes to creative endeavors that stop you in your tracks and perhaps have you questioning long-term goals. You could experience a moral dilemma with your work or reputation. Instead of allowing insecurities to drive your actions, aim to learn more about them in order to make important attitude changes, as tonight and tomorrow, Jupiter aligns with Venus helping to open up doors on professional or public levels. This can be, in fact, a strong time for long-term vision, career, and reputation matters, especially if you put yourself out in the world with confidence. You can be in the position to improve your career or financial state now, and for some, your reputation gets a nice boost. People are enjoying and appreciating what you do. You can feel particularly good about your future, where you’re heading, and your ability to manage others. There can be romantic or friendly connections now, and especially through public exposure or business affairs.

Sagittarius

You might experience some guilty feelings if you haven’t paid enough attention to important people in your life, dear Sagittarius. There could be a moral dilemma of sorts. However, communication coming out of any dilemmas experienced today can take you to a much healthier place. Talk things out or through, and you will feel your motivation building. You are feeling in big terms now, after a possibly bumpy morning. There are romantic possibilities these days, and particularly with people of a different background than yours, or who are offering you an entirely different perspective on life. Intelligence attracts! You are more adventurous with your feelings and bolder with your affections. Sharing your ideas with others might even lead to bigger opportunities. The future looks bright, and some of you could be making educational or travel plans.

Capricorn

A recurring aspect between Jupiter and Chiron comes exact again today, dear Capricorn, and this can have you questioning your current path, worrying about having paid too much attention to your personal life at the expense of other important activities, or dealing with an insecure partner. Avoid subconsciously expecting too much from others, or putting all of your eggs into one basket. Rise above insecurities in order to enjoy another important energy available today that can lead to the strengthening of a relationship or connection with someone. There could be word of money or support coming through, a windfall of sorts, or an open-hearted conversation that makes you feel quite wonderful. Your people instincts are especially strong, and you may find joy through an intimate moment or a moment of profound self-honesty. This is an excellent time for talking about your needs, as others are responsive and some of the usual barriers and boundaries dissolve.

Aquarius

While there can be somewhat demotivating energy surrounding partnerships, values, resources, and finances right now, Aquarius, getting over this hump can be very much worth your while today, as there can be distinct opportunities to win others over or to enhance a relationship. If someone feels they’re giving more than they are receiving, or if there are noticeable discrepancies in values and attitudes about money, then put the energy forth to make the necessary adjustments. This can be a good time for attracting a pleasant or helpful person into your life. There can be mutual benefit through others today, and you might reach a new level of understanding with someone special. You can experience joy in feeling part of a partnership now, if applicable, or if you’re not paired up with anyone, simply being around and being supportive of someone special. You are expressing real confidence and you have a strong desire to move forward – to forgive and forget.

Pisces

While there can be some tendency to second-guess your recent decisions or to lose focus, it’s very important to take extra time to realign yourself with what you are looking for, as there is excellent energy with you for opportunities to improve or enjoy your daily life and bodily concerns (health matters, work, and so forth). Look out for impractical thinking and too-high expectations, but do watch for interesting possibilities. Good humor can be healing today. You may be feeling happy about getting things done or being of service. Be open about making connections and socializing in places you never thought to do so, and find new ways to explore and enjoy the work you perform or the services you render on a daily basis.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, June 29th

Aries

While you’re emotionally prepared for non-routine experiences today, dear Aries, this is in fact a wonderful time to nurture and develop your pet projects or work today. Conditions as well as people in your life seem to support your efforts, or at least allow you the pleasure of going about doing what you want to do without guilt or distraction. You could be motivated to work harder because of clear goals or to better take care of you and yours. There is a real protector in you these days.

Taurus

You may be learning new things about your love life today, dear Taurus, and you are in better touch with your deeper feelings. There is a feeling that love can overcome anything. This is also a good time for career developments or moves. People look at you with more respect, as you have special executive ability and can easily manage others in fair ways. You have a way of being practical, calm, persistent, and sensible, and these things earn you natural respect. Today and tomorrow, make sure you are around people you love and showing your care. These are strong days for building close relationships.

Gemini

You can be providing support today in a great range of positions or roles, dear Gemini. You instinctively know that there are learning experiences to be found virtually everywhere, and today, opportunities are rich through friends or networking activities. This is a more sociable day than most, and it’s especially important, both today and tomorrow, to reach out and make connections. Open the lines of communication, as opportunities to advance your current interests and to welcome new people and experiences abound now.

Cancer

If your life can benefit from doing some research or investigating a particular topic further, dear Cancer, today is an excellent time to dig in. You are in a great position to look for answers, and your eye for uncovering the right information is keen. The day also favors work in general, as well as nurturing relationships with superiors or people who can help you achieve your goals. Emotional focus today is on being useful and productive – satisfy this need, and you’re likely to be feeling especially satisfied and happy. The glamorous stuff can wait!

Leo

This can be a powerful day for nurturing your relationships, dear Leo, as your dedication is clear (or that of a partner or friend) and this can help strengthen a bond and enhance a feeling of camaraderie. Today and tomorrow are excellent for coming across well, and for people bringing out the very best in you. If there is a relationship that needs some extra care, this can be a good time for paying the attention it deserves. It’s also a strong time for PR or other promotional activities.

Virgo

You have a very genuine desire to help and support others, dear Virgo, and this trait is strongly emphasized today. You can go to great lengths to find the information you need to help someone you care about, and can easily get a bit carried away with research or delving a little more deeply into whatever topic or project you’re currently interested in. There can be a stronger need for a bit of solitude or for familiar faces and activities today, as you’d prefer some time to recoup emotionally. However, your mind is very busy, and you should take advantage of this extra focus.

Libra

Your powers of attraction and personal magnetism are special today, dear Libra, and your own feelings tend to match the intensity you’re projecting. This is a good day for expressing yourself through creative mediums. You are also coming across as reliable and valuable, so that relationships of all kinds can benefit. Today and tomorrow are especially strong for repairing and strengthening your friendships and partnerships. You are not only received well, you’re also finding more value in the connections you make, and this is radiated in happy ways in whatever you’re doing now.

Scorpio

Today brings good energy for emotional connections and the work that goes into making relationships healthy and satisfying, dear Scorpio. It’s also a fine time for putting in extra energy when it comes to personal interests, work, and fitness or other health programs and routines. You’re motivated to provide, support, and nurture the people you love and to honor the processes that help you and yours thrive. People are drawn to you today – they seem to appreciate all that you do, and find your presence calming and possibly even healing.

Sagittarius

This can be a wonderful day for finding new ways to communicate, dear Sagittarius, as well as to show how much you care about someone through your words or simply the act of reaching out and making a connection. You may be in the position of go-between now. The Moon has moved into your sign, and emotions are heightened. There can be an urgency felt now when it comes to fulfilling your emotional needs, but taming this a little can go a long way towards greater happiness today. Be moderate, but listen closely to the feelings that surface now.

Capricorn

There is a strong focus on making life more secure and fulfilling today, dar Capricorn. A happy and safe environment at home can be a prime motivator now, and you seem to have the support of others and circumstances to find ways to improve your well-being. You can also be experiencing deeper desires and a need for a stronger connection with someone special. The Moon has moved into your privacy zone, and attention is drawn to your inner world as well today. You may need more time alone to think, decide, and process recent events and feelings.

Aquarius

This is a strong day for working on pet projects or studies, dear Aquarius, as you can be super motivated to put time and effort into your work and interests. You have a special way with words today, and you may be recognized for your insight, wit, intelligence, and concern or care. Your ability to get to the point is strong, and your ability to see what others may need is powerful as well. Today and tomorrow are especially good days for meeting new people or enhancing existing relationships with warm, generous energy.

Pisces

This can be a time when you’re especially motivated to make yourself more secure, dear Pisces, and if this means working harder to make more money, then so be it. You are feeling particularly independent and focused. This is also a good day for releasing resentment or negative feelings in order to move past or beyond an emotionally “stuck” place. Today and tomorrow are particularly strong for letting go so that you can more fully appreciate the good in your life.

It’s worth exploring. If you’re attached, it’ll be a five star communication week for you and your mate. Make a vital decision together.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’ll wear your heart on your sleeve thanks to a Full Moon in your sign on Wednesday. If there are any feelings you’ve been keeping to yourself that you know are only hurting your relationship, this is the time to “come clean”. Be vulnerable enough to share your innermost thoughts about whatever is troubling you. You’ll be surprised at how receptive your mate is. He or she might have been waiting for this moment all along.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Communication with your love will be at an all-time high this week. Mercury, now in your true love sector, will be at a gorgeous angle to several planets — Uranus, Venus and Jupiter. Expect sweet conversations about stimulating topics that allow you and your mate to fall even deeper in love. This week, you may also receive a lovely surprise from your partner. It can be an indulgent gift, sweet gesture or declaration of love that takes your breath away.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may re-evaluate the company you keep this week and realize that a social connection isn’t worth the stress you’ve been feeling. Talk to your partner about this situation since there’s a good chance that he or she will be able to offer some valuable perspective on the situation. At the very least, your mate will be the ideal sounding board if you simply need to think out loud. On Wednesday, romance is divine. Enjoy the fairytale.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, June 24th

Aries

Chiron turns retrograde today as it does every year, dear Aries. This slow-moving body has been in Pisces, the sign behind yours, solidly since 2011. The shift in direction today can stimulate self-doubt and insecurity. However, going forward, while self-improvement efforts may stall a little on the surface of things, you can quite effectively attract information and help your way. Dreams and seeming coincidences occurring today and this week can be especially important clues as to what inner work needs special attention. Your outer schedule may not be very straightforward at the moment, but within a few days will be clearer once you’ve made some inner adjustments. You may be tempted to shut down a little on an emotional level, as you have been attracting a lot of people who seem to need your help, and it’s time that you did some helping of yourself! Your ruler is now at the bottom of your chart, and your attention is turned to making things happen with family and in your domestic world.

Taurus

Confusing elements in your social life, in group settings, or with friends can be pronounced today and this week, dear Taurus, as Chiron comes to a station and turns retrograde today. Alternatively, existing problems might assume more importance in your mind, or are especially hard to deal with. You could be feeling judged, disconnected, or misunderstood by friends, your peers, associates, or members of a group. However, consider that insecurities may prompt you to blow something out of proportion. Even so, these things may be magnified now and act as a trigger for more self-examination. If you’ve been trying too hard to please others recently, then you’re more likely to feel it now, and possibly feel a little let down. Now is the time to examine why it is you feel the need to overcompensate. Certainly, doing more for others doesn’t repair relationships, and may in fact take you further away from the heart of the problem. Mars enters your communications sector today, and in the coming weeks, you’re likely to pour a lot of energy into learning and connecting.

Gemini

Your ability to lead, innovate, and make executive decisions can be loaded with Chiron transiting your solar tenth house for the past few years, dear Gemini. Doubts or insecurity about any of these things, or your current life path, could be magnified today with Chiron turning retrograde, as it does each year. If you’ve been overcompensating, you’re more likely to see it now and take a step back. There could be some misunderstandings on the level of reputation or career, and you might be taking the fall for other people. For some, there can be some misunderstanding or slow down in your professional life. You might also be feeling physically drained now, and work can seem overwhelming, or the balance between your personal and professional lives can seem difficult to maintain. However, this is temporary as you adjust to the shift. During the retrograde cycle that lasts until November, try to get in touch with some of the reasons you may be attracting difficulties or overcompensating. This is a good time to work with various healing techniques. Mars leaves your sign today and enters your sector of finances and self-worth, and in the coming weeks, you’re likely to have more energy to pursue material needs and wants.

Cancer

With Chiron transiting your solar ninth house for the past few years, your mind is opening to new ways of thinking, dear Cancer. There can be some discontent with, and indecision revolving around, higher education, learning, belief systems, and faith in a higher system and bigger purpose, however. The ninth house represents our spirit, what we strive towards, and we believe in, and with Chiron in Pisces here, these things can be difficult to see clearly and connect with deeply, as much as you’d like to. Ultimately, possibly after some struggle, you will get in touch with what you truly believe, aspire to, and have faith in, in your heart. With Chiron turning retrograde today, as it does every year for several months, circumstances are such that this struggle is more internalized as you examine what is within that feels damaged and needs healing. Mars enters your sign today, and this brings increased energy and courage to your personality for the coming weeks.

Leo

With Chiron transiting your solar eighth house for the past few years (and more years to come), you have a stronger ability to bring out the best in others, dear Leo. However, sometimes you may feel that you’re taking on the emotional burden and weight of others’ problems a little too often, or you are helping people so much that it’s at the expense of your own happiness. Now that Chiron is turning retrograde, as it does each year for several months, circumstances may be such that you pull back into yourself and work on your own issues that could be at the root of any overcompensation that has been going on in these ways. It may be time to examine what you are giving up of yourself in the process of helping others to the point of excess. Of course, helping others is something noble, but if you’re losing touch with your own needs as you do, then you’re pushing things too far. Today, attachments can be confusing and mixed signals can be part of the picture, but the process becomes easier as you adjust to this new energy in your life. Today, energetic Mars moves into your sector of endings and hidden things, and over the coming weeks, you’ll have new energy for dealing with problem areas that you may have been putting off or overlooking.

Virgo

Chiron has been transiting your solar seventh house for a few years, dear Virgo, and is retrograde for several months a year. Today, Chiron turns retrograde, and events or revelations this week can trigger a need for introspection when it comes to your one-to-one relationships or partnerships. Insecurities might be magnified just for now, and confusion in a close relationship or about relationships can be pronounced. If you have been overcompensating by making too many sacrifices for a partner, this might become obvious now. The tendency may have been to sacrifice too much for others, or to feel stuck and emotionally unable to move forward when it comes to close relationships, whether you’re in a partnership or not. Overdoing will not get you any closer to a person. This is a time for getting in touch with the fears and the damage so that you can get on the road to healing. Once adjusted to the shift in direction, this retrograde cycle is a powerful one for learning about yourself and your relationships. Mars moves out of your professional sector and into your social sector, signaling another shift of energy in your life.

Libra

Chiron turns retrograde for several months, as it does each year, dear Libra, until November. Chiron has been transiting your solar sixth house for a few years, and you may be overcompensating in the areas of health or work due to insecurities or fears. These are magnified this week as Chiron stations, and the coming months bring opportunities to examine what it is about your daily routines and your approach to them that leaves you with a feeling that you haven’t done enough, or that you haven’t been effective enough. You might also have been very busy serving and helping others, and now events and revelations are such that you recognize the need to turn your helping and healing efforts on your own needs. Today’s Moon brings emotions to the surface. Mars enters your professional sector, stimulating ambitions in the coming weeks.

Scorpio

Chiron has been transiting your solar fifth house for the past few years, and will continue to do so for more years to come, dear Scorpio. This transit sometimes leads to going overboard pleasing others in the areas of romance, children, or on creative lines. If this is the case, today’s Chiron station as it turns retrograde might stimulate events or awareness that it’s time to re-examine how you’ve been doing things. In the coming months, try to examine your behavior so that you learn what’s at the root of your fears or insecurities that drive this overcompensation. Events today and this week can be catalysts for beginning the inner healing process. You may be holding back a little, as it’s time to look within rather than to blindly serve others without tending to your own needs. Mars moves into harmony with your sign today, and over the coming weeks, you’re likely to find it easier to pursue your desires and assert yourself.

Sagittarius

With Chiron moving through your solar fourth house for the last few years, dear Sagittarius, there can often be times when you may be working so hard to please and serve your family that you feel drained and perhaps a little resentful as well. Chiron turns retrograde every year, as it does today, and there can be a need to draw much of that energy inwards, towards your own nurturing. During this cycle that lasts until November, through some analysis you might identify the roots of your insecurities. You might pick up some skills in the process for setting boundaries and for understanding that overcompensation does not help you become any closer to loved ones. In fact, it may eventually pull you away further. Mars enters your intimacy and shared resources sector today, and over the coming weeks, you’ll have more energy and courage to deal with the more hidden elements of your life. This can also be a strong time for quitting a bad habit or making positive lifestyle changes.

Capricorn

Chiron turns retrograde in your solar third house today, dear Capricorn. Recent insecurities about your self-expression, learning, or intelligence can be magnified now and this week. For some, it’s about being understood or completely misinterpreted. This is temporary and sets you on an inner journey towards understanding your fears, their roots, and how you might find ways to heal. While the transition or shift in direction can be a little unclear, the retrograde period ahead, which lasts until November, can be a rewarding one that opens your eyes to inner work that’s needed. Today, Mars enters your partnership sector, and over the coming weeks, your relationships are likely to heat up. The Moon’s move into your professional sector turns your attention to performance and responsibilities.

Aquarius

Chiron turns retrograde today, dear Aquarius, in your sector of money, values, and security. This makes the coming months strong for gaining a new perspective on your feelings of self-worth and how these feelings affect what you’re attracting into your life, by way of income, but also in terms of the emotional and spiritual benefits that you deserve. Today and this week, events occurring can be catalysts for this inner journey, introspection, and self-examination. The station itself today can leave you feeling a little confused or without direction, as can be the case with most any station, but this is simply about adjusting to a shift. Mars enters your work and health sector today, where it will transit until August 8th, boosting your motivation to improve your health, routines, fitness, and work output.

Pisces

Chiron has been in your sign since 2010, and solidly so since 2011, dear Pisces. Each year, Chiron turns retrograde for several months, as it does today. During this cycle, you are a little less inclined to radiate healing energy, as it is now turned inward. This is a period for working on healing yourself. As this transition happens this week, however, you may be feeling somewhat vulnerable, misunderstood, and possibly even less effective. You might also give off mixed signals to others until you make some adjustments. There has been strong demand on your attention in terms of people seeking your help, insight, and good vibes, but you need a little break in order to get into closer touch with your own issues and needs. Mars moves into harmony with your sign today, and over the coming weeks, you’ll more ardently pursue your desires.

Get A Jump On Tomorrow, Your Horoscopes for Wed., May 21st

The wee hours of the morning are filled with unsettling dreams as the Sun and Moon align with erratic Uranus, firing up our nerves. Nevertheless, the energy begins to settle down once the electric Aquarius Moon shifts into emotional Pisces at 8:18 am EDT. The Moon’s square to the curious Gemini Sun has us wondering how our feelings influence our thoughts. However, by evening, a surreal Moon-Neptune connection assures us that imagination rules.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be enamored with your dreams these days, but you’re also acutely aware that there’s more to life than your fantasies with so many incomplete projects demanding your attention. Even if you postpone a deadline for another day or two, you can’t escape thinking about the work you have yet to finish. Unfortunately, worrying in advance only creates stress unless you’re ready to do something about it now. Don’t put off for tomorrow anything that you can do today.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your down-to-earth reliability earns the respect of your associates, especially if you make a decision today and stand by it. Even if your current ideas are unpopular, your serious demeanor persuades others to consider your point of view because they realize how much thought has gone into your opinion. Nevertheless, picking one solution over another is tricky business now, so give yourself permission to change your mind later on if you are so inclined.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You can’t easily calm your wild thoughts because you’re busy analyzing every possible repercussion to each and everything you’re doing today. Your previous optimism may be flagging because a special opportunity isn’t looking quite as appealing now. Intuitively, you know that once you make up your mind you won’t be able to go back and undo your decision, so take all the time you need before announcing your final choice. Time is on your side even if you feel rushed in the moment.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

People at work probably won’t be aware of your stress today because you’re able to keep it carefully contained. You might have a very specific notion about what you want your future to look like; however, you may think you’re not on the right track. Don’t try to talk yourself out of your dreams, even if they make your life more complicated now. Your current self-doubt will soon fade, leaving you to realize that nearly anything is possible once you put your mind to it.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a very unique point of view today that allows you to surprise others, especially if they expect you to remain inside a traditional box. Ironically, your perspective isn’t as radical as it seems at first; it’s just that you may overstate your position as you make your case. Although you’re quite opinionated, you still should be able to get the support you need now as long as you mix integrity with your passion. Demonstrating your willingness to engage in an open dialogue doesn’t mean you have to compromise your values.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have an erroneous view of your partner or coworker today that’s based on fantasy, yet you’re still able to logically justify your conclusions. Thankfully, you have an open mind and are willing to change your thinking as you learn more about the reality of the situation. Although you’re tempted to scatter your energy now, you can achieve better results if you concentrate and address the tension in a significant relationship. Resolving interpersonal dynamics allows you to find the time to pursue your other goals, too.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Instead of applying all your efforts on your tasks at work, you might wish you could kick back and take it easy today. But you may have to fulfill your responsibilities first, so don’t agree to any extra work beyond your regular routine. Your wisest strategy is to minimize your obligations so you can balance your professional duties with a bit of playful abandon. There are no either-or decisions to make now; both aspects of your life contribute to your overall satisfaction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Last night’s brilliant breakthroughs seem to fade with the glare of the morning light. You might even be hard-pressed to remember your best thoughts unless you took the time to write them down. Don’t stress trying to recapture what’s been lost. Surrender to the intuitive Pisces Moon with the knowledge that your most solid ideas will resurface in the next few days in a more tangible form. In the meantime, intentional daydreaming enables you to keep the context for your visions alive.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may need to show up at work today, you probably prefer remaining cozy in your own home while the dreamy Pisces Moon occupies your 4th House of Security. Nevertheless, once you report for duty and fulfill your obligations, you can return to your private haven, turn off the phone and declare temporary independence from the outside world. For someone who is often the life of the party, hiding out might just be your secret guilty pleasure now.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

There are many small choices to be made in the course of your regular routine today. However, an emotional gulf between you and others may leave you feeling a bit detached and a little lost as the reflective Moon merges with indecisive Neptune in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. Even if you say all the right inspirational things, you still might think you’re a fraud because you don’t see yourself clearly now. Thankfully, your carefully chosen words can be even more effective if you actually believe in them yourself.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are full of hope that springs from being true to your values today as the Moon joins idealistic Neptune. But you might also be fearful that your efforts won’t be sufficient to improve the current situation. Don’t waste precious time doubting your contribution. Transform the energy by focusing on the positive things you can do, instead. Global change is not likely to happen with just the extraordinary work of a few people; it will come from the combined smaller deeds of everyone. Lead by example and see who follows.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are unable to detach yourself from the emotions of everyone around you today as the evocative Moon hooks up with spiritual Neptune in your compassionate sign. It’s nearly impossible to find the boundaries that normally separate you from all of humanity and the entire cosmos. Don’t bother trying to figure out where your thoughts and feelings are coming from now. You’re a psychic sponge for the day; revel in the wisdom that all fish live in the same sea and that individuality isn’t as important as it seems.

Happy Birthday, Pisces! February 19 – March 19

Happy Birthday, Pisces!

Splish splash birthday bash! Celebrating the zodiac’s dreamy Fishes

Maria DeSimone on the topics of pisces, birthdays, astrology

Are you ready to dream your most fantastic dream yet, Pisces? It’s your birthday and if there’s any sign who stores pixie dust in his or her soul … it’s you. When it’s your special day there is, indeed, a certain kind of magic in the air and you know how to tap into it like no one else. That’s because you’re a sign famous for being connected to everything that we cannot see, taste, touch, feel or smell, but know to be true in our hearts. It’s called faith, and you’ve got it in spades.

A whimsical birthday

Imagination is also one of your strengths. You’re probably quite talented in some type of creative pursuit and you’re also one of the most intuitive signs of the zodiac. In fact, you’re known as the psychic sponge. This is because you have a high degree of empathy — a capacity to literally feel someone else’s pain and suffering. You also have a deep yearning to help others heal from this pain. Your compassion runs deep. But don’t forget to take time for yourself on your special day. A few hours in solitude to meditate on your intentions for the year ahead will do wonders for your sense of well-being.

You can be so charitable that at times, you forget to draw healthy boundaries. Occasionally this can lead to others taking advantage of your kindness, mistaking it for weakness. But once you get a handle on this boundary situation, you’re typically the model for the rest of us when it comes to unconditional love. If a loved one forgets your birthday, you’re more likely than others to extend instant forgiveness. After all, this person has so much on their plate … you understand.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 18th

We feel as if our emotions are being bounced around today on the bumpy road of circumstances, but we can handle the temporary discomfort with a simple change in perspective. The relationship-oriented Libra Moon adds a social twist to current events. Meanwhile, the Sun’s shift into spiritual Pisces reminds us that we’re all connected at the level of soul. We can’t ignore the instability of our feelings, but it helps to remember we are not alone.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might feel as if a cycle is coming to a close, but you’re just being called to finish up old business so you’re ready for the upcoming action. Hopefully, you haven’t climbed too far out on any limbs lately. However, don’t be too hard on yourself if you have to spend time cleaning up after your overly impulsive behavior. Although you may prefer reminiscing about recent events today, do whatever is necessary to prepare for what’s just around the corner. Don’t waste this chance to make progress while you can.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

A significant shift is occurring in your life, prompting you to look further off into the distance. Unfortunately, this can be a bit nerve-racking now since your ultimate goals may not synchronize with your current trajectory. You might convince yourself that drastic action is required to get back onto the path that will lead you toward your desired future. Seriously consider your options, but don’t push too hard for change yet. Make your move only when you’re good and ready.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

A thorough reevaluation of your career objectives may be in order now that the Sun is moving through your 10th House of Professional Responsibility. Think about what steps you need to take to put your life on a faster track to success. You might not feel a major shift yet, but that doesn’t make your process any less unimportant. You could regret it if you let this chance slip by without trying to accomplish something tangible. Thankfully, making a commitment to follow a certain path can bring your dreams to fruition sooner than you expect.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The current cosmic dynamics are subtle today so you might not feel incredibly full of energy. However, you certainly deserve the emotional boost that is coming your way. You’re beginning to feel more comfortable with yourself and are willing to hold tight to whatever position is necessary to maintain your integrity. Your ideals are high and your vision is wide; walk your talk and see who follows.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may appreciate the positive side of the changes in your immediate environment, even if a part of you still wants to hold onto the status quo. You might even attempt to gloss over any negative comments that you receive today. This is not a time to respond in a cavalier manner because your current reactions are probably more important than you think. Listen to what people have to say. Don’t run away from the truth; accepting the feedback as constructive guidance rather than criticism now could help you reach your goals in a timely manner.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could benefit from standing in front of a mirror today and reminding yourself of what you have accomplished since your last birthday. Set priorities and create goals for the balance of your year now as the Sun moves through your 7th House of Reflection. Once you are sure no one is watching, say whatever you need to pump up your self-esteem. Speak your truth right out loud. Then, go out and make your mark. You can do nearly anything if you put your mind to it.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are pretty pleased with yourself because you have been riding a wave of positive energy. But even if you’re still benefiting from a recent creative streak, the cosmic vibrations are already beginning to shift. You now need to find ways to take what you’ve started and make it last. This is about establishing new routines in your life, but not any dull ones that take the joy out of your life. Anything goes, as long as it feels good and has some consistency to it.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel emotionally refreshed now that the radiant Sun is entering fellow water sign Pisces, though the improvement in your attitude might not seem apparent to others yet. This change is more about your internal psychology rather than your external presence. Vitality is returning to your imagination, replenishing your soul and soothing your emotions. Even if you have heavy responsibilities falling on your shoulders today, lighten your load by making time for creative play. Connecting with your inner child will do you a world of good.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re running on mental overdrive now and thoroughly enjoying the buzz. Although the good times are not over, you have some deep thinking to do today that might make you wish you could escape from it all. Before you hop on a one-way flight to a tropical island, bite the bullet and deal with what’s making you feel uncomfortable. Happily, you may not want to go anywhere once you uncover the source of your concerns. Sticking close to home is more enjoyable after you clear the air and make your peace.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you tend to be ambitious and calculating once you establish a goal, you might be feeling rather confused today. Even if you have already done all the preparation you can, there may be a few surprises waiting for you along the way. Some of these unexpected twists and turns might surface now — as if reality wants to see how you will react if it throws you a curve ball. You don’t have to be perfect in your response; you simply need to give it your best possible effort to hit it out of the park.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Over the past few weeks you have felt pressure to initiate change but you might finally get some relief now as the Sun leaves your sign and heads for the open seas of Pisces. However, it may take some time yet to see where the currents are carrying you. Don’t waste energy worrying about your destination. Once you get your bearings, you can revise your plans as needed. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the soothing ocean spray of gentle dreams that inspire your journey.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The light of awareness is shining into the dark recesses of your mind now. Your imagination is heightened and your fantasies are awakened. But you can’t communicate your amazing visions to anyone else if your emotions block your self-expression. Don’t fight against this resistance today. You’ll only waste energy trying to climb over a wall that will soon crumble, anyhow. Instead, keep cultivating your colorful ideas without any interference; wait a few days before proudly presenting them to others.

Sun in Pisces

It’s time to reconnect with your spiritual side

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of sun, pisces, astrology

It’s time to wrap up another astrological year! When the Sun moves into Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, from February 18 to March 20, it signals the ending of one cycle before the next begins at the Spring Equinox.

And what do you do when something ends, before you begin again? Rest! That’s why the Sun in Pisces is considered a time to dream and heal and regain strength before starting the new cycle.

Pisces is symbolized by two Fish, which we like to call “the fishes with wishes.” The fish are swimming in opposite directions, which is representative of the Pisces paradox. This sign is at once caught between feeling the harshness of reality and the desire for dreamy escapism.

It’s normal to feel more spiritual while the Sun is in Pisces. It’s easier to tap into your intuition and we’re more inclined to follow our instincts and surrender to something greater than the individual self. But it can also be a lazy, daydream-filled period, so we must keep our escapist tendencies in check.

Those born from about February 15-21 were born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp, and those born from about March 18-22 were born on the Pisces-Aries cusp. Being born on the cusp simply means that you were born during the transition time between two zodiac signs, so you retain some qualities from each sign.

If we can embrace empathy for others without letting their pain make us feel victimized while the Sun is in Pisces, this promises to be a very healing time.

Here’s how to make the most of life with the Sun in Pisces:

What to do: Take care of someone! Pisces is the most compassionate and caring zodiac sign, so they are at their best when doing something kind for others. Adopt this admirable Pisces quality now and use it to ease someone’s pain.

What to say: Something poetic. The dreamy fishes are artsy and creative, so now’s the time to channel your inner Pisces poet and write or speak something beautiful to someone you love.

Where to go: Bed! Pisces can sometimes be called “lazy,” but really they just need a safe place to lie down, close their eyes and dream the day away. If you find your mind meandering while the Sun is in Pisces, give yourself permission to take a sweet little nap.

What to wear: Who cares?! Seriously. Life is not about what we wear, it’s about who we are. That’s the typical Pisces mindset, of course, so if you’re tired of dressing for success, this is a good time to slack into some sweats and forget about fashion while you follow more spiritual pursuits.

What to buy: Anything that will help you feel more connected to your spiritual side. It’s easier to tap into your intuition while the Sun is in Pisces, so shop for New Age healing crystals, incense, candles, Tarot cards and all of Pisces’ favorite spiritual supplies.

What to watch out for: Highly sensitive, compassionate and imaginative, Pisces is at risk of wanting to escape when they feel too much or get caught up in daydreams. Alcohol and drug abuse are common to this sign, so be aware of escapism and try to keep yourself grounded (at least a little bit) while the Sun is in Pisces.

What to look forward to: Healing! By the time the Sun moves out of Pisces, you’ll be rested, renewed, reconnected with your spiritual self and ready to begin a new astrological year!

Born on the Aquarius-Pisces Cusp

The Cusp of Sensitivity: A dreamy, compassionate place

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of pisces, cusp, astrology, aquarius

Wondering what happens when your birth chart combines the energy of quirky Aquarius with dreamy Pisces? If you were born on the cusp of these two horoscopes signs, between about February 15-21, you were born on The Cusp of Sensitivity — a compassionate and imaginative place.

Spiritual, artistic, peace-loving and friendly, Aquarius-Pisces cuspers are highly original people. This is the cusp most likely to be labeled “offbeat” or “eccentric,” and its citizens are stimulated by visionary ideas and new experiences. They are highly intellectual, however not so good with practical details and follow-through.

These cuspers may be social or shy, or they may be a peculiar mix of both. This is because pending time with others is a great stress relief, but at the same time they are so sensitive they often choose to hide out alone and escape into their imaginations instead.

Aquarius-Pisces is also arguably the most intuitive cusp placement, lending a naturally psychic and compassionate view of the world. Delving into spiritual matters and philosophical ideals is much more important to these folks than simply managing the details of day-to-day life. For this reason they may lose things, forget appointments, show up late or stand you up. But don’t be mad — it’s only because they were too preoccupied thinking about how make the world a better place on a much deeper level.

Mercury in Aquarius

Think big while mental Mercury is in brainy Aquarius!

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of mercury, astrology, aquarius

It’s time to put on your thinking cap! Mercury, the planet of ideas and communication, is retrograding back into Aquarius on February 12, 2014. Emotions will take a back seat to intellect during this time, and mental pursuits will become more appealing than spiritual ones.

Aquarius is a relatively cool and detached Air sign that puts feelings aside to focus on more cerebral matters — brilliant ideas, inventions, quirky schemes and the like. Don’t be surprised if it feels like you can’t turn off your brain now!

In addition to being an intellectual transit, Mercury in Aquarius is also a bit offbeat. Your thoughts will certainly be brilliant, but they may also be eccentric or downright weird. But don’t forget, there’s a fine line between “weird” and genius, right?!

Think of this as a good thing. This is a great time to look at your life from a different angle and gain new perspective. Also, Aquarius is very future-minded, so you can use this time to think about how to make your future bright.

The one thing to watch out for during Mercury’s transit through this not-so-sensitive sign is hurting or neglecting other people’s feelings. We may all lose touch with our sensitive sides while we’re busy juggling so many brilliant ideas, so do your best to pause and give someone you love an extra hug between all those stimulating conversations.

Mercury will move on into more compassionate Pisces on January 31, before turning retrograde on February 6. On February 12, Mercury spins back into Aquarius until it turns direct on February 28. Finally, Mercury will move forward again into Pisces on March 17.

Enjoy the many “ah-ha” moments you’re sure to have courtesy of Mercury in Aquarius!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 12th

At 12:00AM — as this day begins — Juno merges with Chiron at 12 degrees of Pisces. Put an emphasis on healing and uplifting primary partnerships that need sustenance and support right now. This may be easier said than done as the Moon parallels Saturn (12:28AM) while Mercury piles on by squaring Saturn (3:57AM) and the Moon then also forms the monthly conjunction with Saturn (5:44AM). Pushing the business envelope in any form is taboo. The Moon in Scorpio is in void mode starting at 5:56AM and lasting over 13 hours until 7:14PM when the lunar orb enters upbeat, goal-oriented Sagittarius. Anticipate some stormy psychic weather and stubborn human emotions blocking forward progress during the void-of-course lunar cycle. Once Sagittarius Moon materializes at 7:14PM, focus your gaze on reaching long-sought goals — particularly on the literary, educational and publishing fronts. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
