Born on the Aquarius-Pisces Cusp

Born on the Aquarius-Pisces Cusp

The Cusp of Sensitivity: A dreamy, compassionate place

Tarotcom Staff 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

Mercury in Aquarius

Think big while mental Mercury is in brainy Aquarius!

Tarotcom Staff 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.

Personal Planets in Retrograde

Personal Planets in Retrograde

Three retrograde planets bring us to a tipping point

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of venus retrograde, retrograde planets, mercury retrograde, blogs, astrology

2014 is getting off to a sluggish start that may require us to be more patient through the end of May. The year began with sociable Venus in reverse. This planet of love, pleasure, peace, and harmony was retrograde in orderly Capricorn until January 31. She’s just now picking up speed to put a bit more forward thrust into matters of desire, self-worth and partnership. Her retrograde period, which started on December 21, 2013, corresponded with delays in financial, artistic and romantic matters. But on the plus side, it has also been a time to review and re-evaluate our needs in these areas of life.

Mercury Retrograde

On February 6 mental Mercury turns retrograde, starting its reversal in dreamy Pisces and ending it on February 28 in quirky Aquarius. These thrice annual, 3-week-long Mercury Retrograde periods are known as times when dealing with data, messages, travel, and technology tend to be more complicated. This is especially likely to be the case when this retrograde starts in Pisces, where thinking is softened with feelings and diffused with faith and fantasy. It’s easy to get lost in fog banks of illusion, yet imagination and intuition should flourish. Mercury then backs into airy Aquarius on February 12, which can sharpen thinking if we value simple answers more than complicated theories.

Mars Retrograde

The next personal planet getting on the backward merry-go-round is Mars. Usually, he’s an assertive warrior driving us to take risks, initiate action and penetrate into new territory. However, Mars entered Libra last December, which cooled off some of the power and passion of this fiery planet. This is a little like a retrograde influence because Mars’ usual spontaneity and drive can be blunted by indecision and lassitude in cool Libra.

On March 1, though, the transformation of this primal planet takes another turn when it begins moving retrograde. Mars will backpedal in Libra until May 21, and is unlikely to regain full force until it enters its watery home sign Scorpio on July 26. This doesn’t mean that we’re going to be frozen in our tracks until then. Life goes forward even when the planets do not, but finding traction and getting new projects off the ground might be more challenging. Relationship-oriented Libra requires bridge-building to mend wounded partnerships or to create new ones. Reaching out to people in socially skillful ways now will be beneficial in the long run. The trick is to double back to make sure that you’re current with the needs of potential allies, and are willing to revise and renegotiate the terms of your alliances during Mars’ retrograde period.

Find your anchor

It’s worth noting that Mercury, Venus and Mars are more about how we think, what we like, and what we do, rather than who we are. They are planets of means — the ways that we connect intellectually, socially and physically. It is natural to identify with our thoughts, desires and actions and, of course, the circumstances in which we find ourselves. But if you find you are struggling during these retrogrades, it’s helpful to step back and find a less entangled place in which to see yourself. Tune into your heart (Sun) and gut (Moon), as well as your beliefs (Jupiter) and commitments (Saturn) to find more solid ground upon which to stand. Adapting to the shifting patterns of these retrograde planets is much easier when the core of self (Sun and Moon) and our aspirations and ambitions (Jupiter and Saturn) remind us of who we are and what we stand for.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 7th

Keep enjoying the fun-and-games, ebullient atmosphere that the lunar orb in Sagittarius seems to usually encourage every month. In addition, key relationships can benefit from greater, in-depth understanding by partners since Juno forms a sextile with Pluto (3:53AM).  The Moon in Sagittarius begins a void limbo time-span — starting at 2:03PM and lasting until 9:05PM when the lunar orb enters hardworking, determined Capricorn. During the void limbo zone, strive to maintain your productivity in major fields of expertise as the Moon contacts Ceres via a supportive, 60-degree rapport (7:15PM). Insights abound shortly thereafter when Pallas in Virgo forms a polarity with Chiron in Pisces (7:56PM).  With the Moon still in void mode, Mercury makes a flowing trine in air signs with Vesta (8:35PM). This potentially auspicious alignment should be utilized once the Moon is in practical, resourceful Capricorn terrain (9:05PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes (Feb. 6 – 28)

Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes

Mercury reverses through Pisces and Aquarius February 6-28

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of mercury retrograde, horoscopes, astrology

Speedy little Mercury, the messenger planet, slows down and shifts into reverse three times a year. Next up, from February 6-28, 2014, Mercury will turn retrograde in watery Pisces and backtrack into Air sign Aquarius.

Mercury’s retrograde cycle is a three-week period when communications tend to be more complicated. Dealing with details, travel and technology are other potential trouble spots. However, this is also a time to tie up loose ends, complete unfinished business, and reconnect with people from the past.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Mercury’s reversal begins in sensitive Pisces and your obscure 12th House of Subconscious, which can muddle messages and make difficulties with the flow of information even more likely. Yet this part of your chart is rich with imagination and spirituality, perhaps reawakening an old dream, creative project or inspiring the devotional side of your personality. Gentle persuasion and tuning in to others needs will be more successful than pushing hard to get others to go along with your ideas.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Communication in group situations could become a little fuzzy with chatty Mercury turning retrograde in your 11th House of Organizations and Friends. This reversal of the messenger planet might also revive an old idea or dream for making the world a better place. Reconnecting with old pals and colleagues could prove surprisingly satisfying, even if your last contact was not very successful. Being kinder in what you say is a good way to repair relationships.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Mercury is your ruling planet, making its retrograde period more important than it is for most people. This reversal starts in imaginative Pisces and your 10th House of Career where confusion about goals and responsibilities could complicate your job. Don’t assume that people understand you or you them. Double-check to be sure that you’re on the same page when it comes to your job. Reawakening an old career dream, though, is a potential benefit of this pattern.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Travel plans and dealing with people in distant locations could be a bit more difficult during this Mercury Retrograde period. That’s because the planetary master of messages and details turns tail in your 9th House of Faraway Places. Make sure that you communicate carefully and recheck documents to avoid mistakes and misunderstanding. A possible benefit of this cycle, though, is to reignite interest in education since the 9th house is also the House of Higher Learning.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Relationships could grow a bit more confusing with communicative Mercury turning backward in your 8th House of Intimacy. Renegotiating the terms of personal and professional agreements will probably be necessary to keep both parties happy. Showing some flexibility, as well as compassion, will strengthen alliances, but playing power games will not. Cooperation isn’t easy during uncertain times, so stay open to making some temporary changes.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Verbal Mercury turning backward in your 7th House of Partners can spring some surprises in relationships. You love clarity but it may be hard to come by now. Don’t worry too much about the details, but work on bringing more imagination and compassion into your alliances. Someone you found less-than-realistic in the past might be worth reconnecting with now, especially if she or he stimulates your creativity and is a source of inspiration.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Work issues could be more complicated with this Mercury reversal in your 6th House of Employment. Tasks that you thought were finished may need to be redone, which doesn’t sound like fun. But if you bring a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, your level of skill is likely to increase. Try to avoid overdoing it mentally and physically since you could run out of energy more quickly than usual now. A bit more self-protection and care are highly recommended.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

The communication planet turns retrograde in your 5th House of Self-Expression, Romance and Children. Confusion and misunderstandings are possible when making presentations, looking for love or dealing with your little ones. On the plus side, Mercury’s reversal offers second chances in these areas of your life. Just remember to be tender, since this turnabout starts in compassionate Pisces where showing kindness is more important than mastering every little detail. Old creative interests return when you take time to play.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Domestic matters could require extra attention with Mercury turning retrograde in your 4th House of Home and Family. Spending time on repairs and maintenance is an excellent way to use this period of time. Old emotional issues within your household and with relatives may come back to the surface. Don’t just set them aside — facing them is not easy but it’s worth the effort. Forgiving yourself and others for mistakes frees you to create a more successful future.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Whenever chatty Mercury turns retrograde messages tend to be muddled, but misunderstandings are even more likely now. That’s because this little planet’s reversal takes place in your 3rd House of Communication in the fuzzy sign of Pisces. Double-checking details and travel plans makes sense, but being kinder and gentler in how you express yourself is equally important. Tenderness reduces conflict and, in turn, could even inspire your imagination.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

This retrograde cycle starts in your 2nd House of Assets where you may have to review and readdress some finance-related matters. Taking a second look at how you handle money should open your eyes to more effective ways to manage your resources. Mercury re-enters Aquarius on February 12 and will stay in your sign until mid-March, triggering insights about your appearance, attitude, and approach that allows you to let go of habits that no longer serve your needs.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Mercury’s retrograde turn in your sign could put you in a three-week state of deja vu. While this can make it more challenging to stay on top of details and manage new tasks effectively, it’s also an opportunity to restart conversations that didn’t go so well the first time around. Your high levels of compassion and creativity will serve you well in repairing relationships and restoring your reputation, providing second chances to make things right.

Strange forces are definitely on the prowl after the recent stations by Jupiter (November 6) and Mercury (November 10), and a Grand Triangle in water signs — composed of the Sun, Moon and Jupiter — yesterday morning. Now it is Neptune’s turn to heavily influence humanity by stopping its retrograde cycle at 3 degrees of Pisces (10:43AM) and gradually beginning to turn forward. [Neptune stays direct until June 9, 2014 when it stops again at 8 degrees of Pisces and then goes retrograde until November 15, 2014 — pausing to go forward at 5 degrees of Pisces.]  All Neptune themes — imagination, psychic sensitivity, idealism, dream and visions, film-video work, cameras and photography, the fine arts, music and dance, spiritual and mystical studies, bodies of water, but also confusion, chaos, nebulosity, illusions, fantasy, lies, fanaticism, and being hooked on drugs, alcohol and other detrimental substances — are powerful at the exact time of the Neptune station and all-day long as well. Therefore, accentuating crystal clear communication and staying on target with your plans is one way to avoid cloudy conditions that are causing widespread uncertainty across the globe.  Uranus and its potency as a catalyst in awakening higher intuition and genius can be part of today’s rescue team as the Moon unites with this alarm-clock like planetary body in fiery Aries at 4:06PM. Tune into advances on the cutting edge of science, medicine and metaphysics. Check out the latest gizmos and gadgets at high-tech stores or online resource centers.  Steer clear of temperamental individuals who may be losing their cool as the Moon parallels the red planet Mars (7:56PM). Be a warrior for creating world peace if you feel the need to fight for something that will help humanity on its evolutionary arc in the cosmos.

Your Charm for October 25th is Pisces The Fish

Your Charm for Today


Today’s Meaning:   

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive and sympathetic. This person could be merely an acquaintance who has influence with people in your circle.

General Description:

Twelfth sign of the Zodiac, Feb 19th to March 20th. Ruled by the planet Jupiter; correct metal, Tin. Those born under the influence of Pisces were believed to be highly emotional, imaginative, observant, artistic, musical, precise and prudent. The gem for Pisces is the Amethyst, whose occult properties were firmly believed in by the ancients. The Egyptians wore these stones as amulets against witchcraft, and for success in their undertakings. The Amethyst is also called The Bishops Stone from its supposed soothing influence, imparting a pious calm in time of danger. The stone was believed to confer happiness on the newly married.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, October 15th

The little things in life can either help you click on all cylinders or block your forward progress. Ponder on that concept as Mars leaves free-wheeling Leo for meticulous Virgo (4:06AM) — a cycle that lasts until December 7. Small is beautiful can become your motto. Put extra oomph into clean-up campaigns, weeding the lawn and garden, organizational efforts and repair work.  The monthly union of the Moon with Chiron in Pisces (6:49AM) can flood your mind with insights coming from higher realms of consciousness. Deja vu experiences and flashes of genius often occur when the wounded-healer archetypes related to Chiron are energized by the Moon’s psychic presence. Learn more about advances in the fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine.  Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly disenfranchised as the Moon trines Mercury in water signs (7:05PM). Immerse yourself in a bestseller or film classic. Maintain an optimistic, exuberant mind-set overnight as a Moon-Jupiter trine (12:16AM tomorrow) transforms the earlier Moon-Mercury connection into a Grand Triangle in the heavens. Write down revelations that can be utilized at an auspicious time in the future. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Oct. 14th

We start the day wearing practical shoes and trade them in for a pair of swim fins when the Moon swims into watery Pisces at 5:05 pm EDT. We may be motivated to demonstrate how efficiently we work because energetic Mars hooks up with pragmatic Saturn while the Moon is still in inventive Aquarius. However, answers are not difficult to find if we are inspired to reach beyond our normal conceptual limits and into the far reaches of our imaginations.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re wary of trusting your feelings now, since a rational approach to life makes the most sense. You might even try to rebel against what you already know in your heart. It’s not that you don’t want a more emotionally charged life, it’s just that you aren’t interested in giving up on your dream of stability. Nevertheless, you won’t be able to deny your desires, so stop trying to justify your inaction because you’re afraid of losing control. Indulge your heart without going too far.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be quite confident now as you gain momentum on a project that was recently set aside. Perhaps each moment has you dreaming about making your life more pleasant. However, caution is advised, since you could push hard only to find that you’re reaching for the wrong star. But if you take a deep breath and pay careful attention to what you’re feeling in your gut, you could actually catch a glimpse of your new direction.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Something shifts energetically today and suddenly you just know what you need to do. Unfortunately, your moment of awareness doesn’t necessarily translate into sustainable action. Although you may be back at work or school now, you might not feel very motivated. Try to avoid becoming too indifferent about what you want, for it is your passion that will ultimately bring you closer to your dreams.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Anticipating a change of direction means that you must also shift the focus of your thoughts. You might think that you’re ready for new adventures, but you could also inadvertently push them away out of fear. It feels as if your entire life is moving too fast now, and that the pace is just beyond your control. You won’t be able to keep up with everything if you continue to hold onto the past. Fortunately, it’s much easier to handle the current intensity once you let go and embrace the future.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your emotions grow more extreme throughout the day and there appears to be no way to escape the looming storm. Thankfully, you won’t be scared off by a little relationship drama if it helps you to recall something very important from your forgotten past. Remembering an old story can boost your current motivation and inspire you to make an overdue change. There’s no time like the present to take charge of your life.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are rejuvenated by a fresh surge of energy that washes through your life today. Unfortunately, it can be quite a challenge to figure out which way to turn. Seeking counsel from your friends or associates may not help you make a decision because your agenda is so different from theirs. Nevertheless, someone else’s perspective still gives you a different way to look at the same old thing. At least, another point of view provides an objective frame of reference

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t want everyone to notice you today, yet, paradoxically, you may be thinking about what you want to share with others. Unexpressed fear isn’t the only thing holding you back now. You also need to establish a daily routine so that doing your chores or homework won’t stand between you and your greater aspirations. Even if you are unsure of your destination, practice trusting your intuition. Your inner voice won’t let you down.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Being your same-old reliable self today is challenging if your daydreams distract you from what you must do. It’s not that you’re incapable of hard work; it’s just that you might have lost your edge as your motivation dwindled. It’s wise to push yourself now by getting others involved in your cause. Setting up a few appointments or meetings makes it harder for you to procrastinate. Once you’re finished with your tasks, give yourself permission to spend some time with your dreams.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not be ready to return to work today. If you’re feeling restless, you may even want to hightail it out of the office and take some time off. Although you have a lot on your plate now, you could talk yourself into believing that your co-workers can, somehow, get the job done without you. Unfortunately, nothing much is accomplished without your effort and expertise, so find a healthy balance between productivity and relaxation to make everyone happy.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t want to sit still today because you’re jumping up and down with an excitement that just won’t settle down. You might be tempted to hide your enthusiasm because you’re not interested in destabilizing your life. But your aversion to risky behavior that shows your vulnerability can actually block your intent to get closer to someone you admire now. Take advantage of your energetic buzz and let your guard down.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Settling back into an old relationship dynamic might seem like a great idea today. However, it’s still wiser to try to push through the resistance and make the necessary changes in your plans for the future. You could try to justify your overall safe approach to life right now, but tense aspects won’t likely let you get away with taking the easy way out. Make up your mind to move forward and then get busy creating the future you want.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want everyone to know how you are feeling today because you think that being transparent will make you less lonely. Ironically, you may be scared to reveal too much about yourself. However, the Moon’s visit to your sign draws your emotions up toward the surface where you can’t help but wear them on your sleeve. The choice is yours; you could make someone else unhappy with your sad song or you could make it better by changing your tune.

Full Moon in Pisces Horoscopes

Sensitivity and service are highlighted by September’s Full Moon

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of pisces, moon, horoscopes, full moon, astrology

It’s time to embrace compassion! The Full Moon in Pisces on September 19, 2013, operates on faith, while the opposing Virgo Sun prefers facts. Yet what these signs have in common is a sense of service.

This Full Moon reminds us that we don’t have to be precise to be helpful and that sometimes making an error with a loving attitude is more beneficial than perfect behavior done with a scowl.

When Pisces compassion combines with Virgo skills, we have the best of both worlds.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Spiritual awakening and creative inspiration are potential gifts of this Pisces Full Moon. But it lands in your 12th House of Escapes, which means that you could benefit from taking more breaks from your daily duties and concerns. Seek quiet places in the world to find tranquility in yourself. But this is not peace that puts you to sleep; it’s an ocean of imagination that can take you to more exciting places.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The compassionate Pisces Full Moon occurs in your 11th House of Friends and Groups, making you a more sensitive and caring ally. Allowing yourself to be supported by others doesn’t make you weak if it helps you do your job and assist your community. But if you’re already sacrificing personal interests to benefit others, make sure that you save some of that love, time and energy for yourself.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your sharp mind and quick wit are major professional assets, but this sensitive Pisces Full Moon in your 10th House of Vocation shows that how you feel about your work is as important as what you think. Finding inspiration in your job is possible if you unclutter your head with facts and tune in to emotions — that will help you tap into imagination and faith that take you further in your career.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Dreams of faraway places are awakened by this magical Pisces Full Moon in your 9th House of Travel and Higher Mind. Studying a subject that touches your soul will take your further than mere academic exercises. Broaden your horizons by planning a trip, connecting with people in distant locations or reading about exotic locales that bring more imagination and beauty into your life.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

The forgiving Pisces Full Moon lights up your 8th House of Deep Sharing, providing insights into your relationships. Personal and professional partnerships flourish when you are caring, compassionate and working with people who also have these qualities. Use your intuition, because reason alone will not supply the answers you seek to questions about love, intimacy and business alliances.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

The imaginative Pisces Full Moon opposes the Sun in your precise sign, challenging you to overlook details to feel a bigger picture than cannot be seen by intellect alone. It occurs in your 7th House of Partners, where it can trigger crises in existing alliances but also open doors to people and possibilities with others. Compassion and big dreams are key to making connections that will satisfy your soul.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Work can be exhausting if you can’t find meaning in what you do. That’s because this revelatory Pisces Full Moon is in your 6th House of Employment, where it stirs up strong feelings about your job. Getting more rest is one way to keep your competence and confidence high. Yet getting inspiration from a hobby or taking on tasks where you can use your imagination will recharge your batteries.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You could be flooded with romantic feelings with this dreamy Pisces Full Moon in your 5th House of Love. Expressing yourself in poetic, imaginative and creative ways are other means for riding these inspirational waves of energy. You’re ready to show more tenderness and expose some of your vulnerability because these are effective ways to appear more attractive and bring others into your life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

This tender Pisces Full Moon lands in your domestic 4th House of Home and Family, where it signals a need to pay more attention to your personal life. Spending more time at home and relaxing in peaceful places will bring insights into your past that will make you more excited about the future. But there’s less need to push yourself ahead now because quiet times and contemplation reveal fresh sources of inspiration.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Looking at the world around you with less critical eyes will reveal much more than logic now. This intuitive Pisces Full Moon occupies your 3rd House of Perception and Communication, making you more sensitive to what you see, say and hear. Tender conversations and the freedom to fantasize are not distractions but are sources of inspiration and faith that give your life more meaning.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Insights into income opportunities come with this sensitive Pisces Full Moon in your 2nd House of Money. This lunation could awaken old dreams about work that touch your heart. The path to a better cash flow comes from creativity and imagination now, so make sure you don’t set aside fantasies that might not appear to be practical but which can lead you to greater prosperity.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

The Pisces Full Moon touches your 1st House of Outward Appearance. It could inspire you to be more creative in your look and in the ways to you connect with people. But it can also increase uncertainty about where you stand with others. Be gentle with yourself, nourish your dreams and forgive any mistakes you’ve made. Others’ criticism counts less than attending your own needs now.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 17th

With the next Full Moon occurring on Thursday, today and tomorrow become the monthly, 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening spiritual vibrations getting ready to descend from the higher planes of divinity into human consciousness. Thirteen times in every calendar year, this sacred and mostly invisible process takes place — although over the past hundred years, there are now many groups that actively congregate, in a positive manner, to help bring through these exalted vibrations as purely as possible.  Providing an early support system for this preparation cycle is this morning’s Mercury-Mars 60-degree contact (12:18AM) followed shortly by a nurturing Venus-Ceres contra-parallel (1:49AM). Nevertheless, both of these aspects occur while the Moon may be laboring in a void uncertainty zone in Aquarius. A more confusing, chaotic situation can develop when Vesta in Virgo makes a fairly rare opposition to Neptune in Pisces (6:35AM). Keep your valuables and assets safe and secure.  The Moon’s entry into Pisces (6:59AM) is the monthly reminder to be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Steer clear of mental fatigue as Pallas forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with sometimes loopy Neptune (8:28AM). On the other hand, enhancing your creative imagination and psychic abilities later on fits right into the monthly union of the Moon with Neptune in Pisces (12:39PM). Experiment with a digital or video camera for fun or profit. Make a note or record especially significant dreams and visions that have set your mind ablaze during the last few days.  If you are reasonable and careful, you may be able to mix business with some moderate types of pleasure as the Moon trines Venus (8:16PM) and Saturn (9:34PM) — two celestial bodies that are on the verge of uniting in Scorpio tomorrow.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 30th

The last two days of August 2013 are much more favorable than the first two days of this month. Gone are the tense sky patterns that potentially wreaked havoc around the world and in humanity as July morphed into August. Instead, once the Moon leaves void status in Gemini by entering its natural abode of Cancer (4:34AM), there is a renewal of focus on home and family concerns. Plus, a Grand Triangle in water signs is present since the Moon trines Neptune in Pisces (12:24PM) as well as Saturn in Scorpio (6:54PM). This can bring the odd couple of materialistic-logical-pragmatic Saturn and religious-spiritual-idealistic Neptune to the bargaining table — allowing you to create a delicate rainbow bridge between whatever represents Earth and Heaven to you personally.  It doesn’t hurt at all that Vesta makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Saturn (3:26AM) while Mercury forges a supportive, 60-degree connection with Jupiter (8:11PM). The Vesta-Saturn and Mercury-Jupiter favorable sky patterns can help you gradually increase the value of your assets and investments through enhanced intellectual and intuitive ways of thinking.  If you want to be more active in a physical manner today, there is the joy of cooking, baking, gardening, and traveling down memory lane by investigating your ancestral tree.
