Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 14th

There’s no need to be a speed demon in the early hours since the Moon in earthy Virgo is void until 5:29AM PST. Cleaning, organizing and putting your home and business matters in order are still appropriate. Once the Moon enters airy Libra at 5:29AM PST, improving the quality of your primary partnerships becomes a major theme for the next two days. Healing forces reassert their potency as the Moon parallels Chiron (9:42AM PST). Antique hunters and collectible aficionados may find buying and selling to their liking – courtesy of a supportive, 60-degree alliance between Venus in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus that builds up to precision until 6:49PM PST. Explore the fine and graphic arts to your heart’s content. Romance may still be a little tricky and unsettled since Venus makes a subtle and yet still important, 30-degree contact with radical-change agent Uranus (9:16PM PST). Watch out for a rising tide of worry and stress later on as the Moon squares Mercury (11:16PM PST) followed by a Moon-Saturn parallel that forms exactly at 1:24AM PST on Sunday. Drop overnight decision-making like a hot potato.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Jan. 13th – 15th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Dream a Little Dream

January 13 – 15

This Friday the 13th could be lucky for lovers and those seeking love. The fastidious Virgo Moon isn’t usually thought of as romantic, but amour’s leading lady Venus is running the show now, making this a day of delights wherever you go. She joins limitless Neptune in the morning to inspire dreams of boundless affection. This connection spurs fantasies that may be difficult to fulfill, but with some creativity and a dash of intuition, anyone in love can make this a magical time. Use your imagination to come up with special activities that go beyond the usual restraints of routine social events. Indulging in artistic endeavors such as music, poetry and film are ways to stimulate one’s appetite for love. Or dress up and go dancing to make ordinary life feel like a Hollywood movie.

Venus slips into surreal Pisces on Friday night, allowing dreams to overflow into the light of day for the next three weeks. The Moon’s move into harmonious Libra, the partnership sign, on Saturday morning keeps relationships and romance on the front burner. Treating others the way you want to be treated could be the key to the kingdom of contentment. Venus’ cooperative connection with expansive Jupiter favors generosity, yet the Moon’s stressful square with suspicious Pluto could darken moods with shadows of mistrust or jealousy. Gently addressing unpleasant feelings is healthier than burying them in quiet resentment.

New Moon Report for Friday, Jan. 13th – Venus in Pisces

Venus in Pisces

Friday, January 13, 9:48 pm PST, Saturday, January 14, 12:48 am EST

Venus is exalted in Pisces where the love planet is at its most spiritual and compassionate expression. Idealism, imagination and exquisite sensitivity can enrich our relationships and help us find inspiration through music, art, nature, beauty and spirituality. Yet romantic fantasies and sacrificing ourselves to get affection could lead to disillusion and a sense of martyrdom. Venus in Pisces’ gift of unconditional love works best when mixed with a dose of discernment.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, Jan. 13th

Compared to today’s cosmic intensity, yesterday was a cream puff or cake-walk. Of course, knowing this is a Friday the Thirteenth does not offer comfort to those of you who are highly superstitious. Meanwhile, Venus, the traditional planet of love, makes a flowing trine to taskmaster, ringed Saturn (1:06AM PST) only a few hours before Mercury unites with Pluto in Capricorn (5:04AM PST), Ceres parallels Saturn (5:13AM PST), and Venus unites with Neptune in Aquarius (7:18AM PST). If you think you have life, business affairs and primary partnerships all figured out, think again. Venus trine Saturn, Mercury conjunct Pluto, Ceres parallel Saturn, and Venus merging with Neptune – all within 6+ hours of time – constitute a major test of faith and confidence. When so many potent alignments are squashed within a short period of time, giving a cogent interpretation is impossible. However, each piece of the puzzle has an essential meaning. Venus trine Saturn suggests that some sensible progress on the financial front is possible. Mercury cavorting with Pluto can make anyone into an amateur detective – energized by the fierce desire to get to the root of long-standing mysteries and secrets. Ceres and Saturn together is a reminder to learn more about your parental heritage and archetypes. Venus in cahoots with Neptune can rev up your romantic and erotic nature or increase confusion on the love front. The Moon uniting with Mars in Virgo (4:37PM PST) adds a further touch of volatility, passion or excitement. A Sun-Moon flowing trine in earth signs (5:59PM PST) sounds appealing at first glance, but it also begins a fairly long void lunar cycle that lasts until 5:29AM PST tomorrow. Be aware that Venus enters the sign of its exaltation – Pisces – at 9:48PM PST. Venus remains in compassionate and empathic Pisces until February 7.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for Jan. 9th

You are now in the 48-hour time-period when it is helpful to distribute the inspirations received during last night’s Full Moon meditation. In addition, your dreams and out-of-the-body visions early this morning can give you a new and deeper understanding of the meaning of life. Healing forces are back on the march as Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Chiron (1:14PM PST). Revelations abound for the next several hours as the Sun forms an inspirational, 72-degree alliance with Uranus (1:55PM PST) while the Moon in Cancer trines Ceres in Pisces (3:15PM PST). The Sun-Uranus link-up can double as a catalyst to learn more about advances on the cutting edge of science and metaphysics. The Moon-Ceres harmonious connection draws you closer to Mother Nature, maternal figures, pets and children in your family circle. Slow your tempo during a void lunar cycle in Cancer that goes from 6:26PM PST to 8:36PM PST. During the void twilight zone, Venus in Aquarius squares Juno in Scorpio (8:15PM PST). Ouch! Keep striving to improve the quality of primary partnerships even if ornery energies seem to be bouncing off your psychic force field. Once the Moon is safely in fiery, robust Leo (8:36PM PST), allow your inner child to roam free for a change of pace. Enjoy attending a play, piano recital or cultural exhibit. Board, card or word games give you a boost. Come from the heart in vital discussions with dear ones.

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

  • Mel, selected from DivineCaroline

I’ve always had great luck with Capricorns. Tauruses? Yawn. Geminis? Maybe, if you like all that talking. Leos? Self-absorbed drama queens. My romantic history is a constellation of personalities and capabilities and experiences, but there’s obviously something about my Virgo sensibilities that jibes with the patience that the average Capricorn bestows upon the act of tossing a girl’s salad. Or did you think I was talking about something else? We’re not interested in love matches here, people. This is all about that other kind of chemistry and which signs of the Zodiac are guaranteed to be a good time and which might be a great time.

Aries: The Minute Man
This fire sign is known for being a pretty straight shooter. Aries will have no compunction at all about sharing his or her raunchiest ideas about what to do in the sack. The problem with straight shooters, though, is that they always like to get right to the point. So count on an Aries to take charge and get you where you want to go—in a hurry.

Taurus: The Romancer
Where Aries is all lusty impulse, Taurus takes his or her time. Plan on being wined and dined, perhaps to the point of frustration. And once the Taurus has decided you’re the one for the job, prepare yourself for plenty of foreplay. If romance is your thing, Taurus is your sign.

Gemini: The Talker
The Gemini will bring all his or her intellect to bear upon getting bare. If you have simpler, quieter tastes, you might be a little shocked by Gemini’s saucy, seductive monologues. But if phone sex and dirty talking gets your motor humming, a Gemini is what you’re looking for. But be prepared to not get a word in edgewise.

Cancer: The Love Maker
Cancers are highly emotional signs, which means that sex is not merely a mechanical physical undertaking; rather it is expected to be a poetic act of beauty and love and all that good stuff. If you’re going to get naked with a Cancer, prepare yourself for an intense ride. And perhaps some post-coital crying.

Leo: The Narcissist
The passionate and adventurous nature of the Leo cannot be surpassed. There is no end to the imaginative ways a Leo will come up with for you to pleasure him or her. Those cats are born sexual dominants who ooze lusty confidence, and they’re unapologetic about it. While your romp with the lion will be memorable, for sure, best remember your satisfaction will be a secondary matter.

Virgo: The Closet Nympho
You might be surprised to learn that shy, demurring Virgo would ever be ready to rock without than fistfuls of condoms and spanking clean bed sheets. The reserved demeanor of the earthy virgins doesn’t hint at their inner lustiness. Once your Virgo knows and trusts you, watch out. You won’t get a moment’s peace.

Libra: The Connoisseur
The Libra is an artiste when it comes to knocking boots. They seek out a perfect harmony with their partner, luxuriating in every detail, and they go big on romantic accoutrements such as lingerie, massage oil, and soft music. You know, so it’s just like a bad porno—perhaps it even includes a fortuitously timed visit from the pizza guy.

Scorpio: The Leg-Humper
Fiery, licentious Scropio is the horn dog of the zodiac. While their sexual prowess and magnetism can hardly be ignored, getting in bed with a scorpion can have its sting. While you will probably get the ride of your life, Scorpio’s love ’em and leave ’em approach to sex could leave less lusty signs cold.

Sagittarius: The Don Juan (or Juanita)
A master of the art of seduction, a Sagittarius is all about the hunt. They hone their powers of seduction, pouncing upon their objects of desire only after rendering them utterly helpless in the face of their sexual deftness.

Capricorn: The Slow Boat
Capricorn can come across as a lumbering kind of lover. Slow to make the first move, patient to the point of impertinence once the ball does get rolling, Caps may not wow with skill and energy in the sack, but they will steadily, diligently apply themselves to the all-you-can-eat buffet of their lover. Be patient with a Capricorn, and you will be well rewarded.

Aquarius: The Toy Collector
If you’re someone who is put off by the idea of a velvet box full of scintillating, slippery, and battery-operated accoutrements under your lover’s bed, it’s best you steer clear of Aquarius. Always ready to experiment with any number of the paths to pleasing themselves and their partners, the Aquarian will bring more to the party than some signs can take.

Pisces: Old Faithful
Much like Cancer, Pisces will value the emotional connectivity of sex over the physical one. Passion, love, attention, patience—these will all come into play with your Pisces lover. But you’ll likely have to do most of the work. The fish are notoriously lazy lays, preferring to kick back and bask in the attentions of their beloved. Might want to take a cue from Aquarius and bring some party favors to keep things interesting.

2012 Astrology Forecast

2012 Astrology Forecast

It’s only the beginning

By Jeff Lawer

Regardless of what some people say about the Mayan calendar, 2012 is not going to be the end of the world. It is, though, a potentially watershed year that is likely to bring some profound changes to our personal lives and large institutions.

The key planetary players in 2012 are dynamic Uranus and potent Pluto, which begin a series of seven intense squares (90-degree angles) with one another on June 24 that ends in 2015. Revolutionary Uranus and transformational Pluto were conjunct (joined) in the mid-1960s, giving rise to the radical cultural changes of those times. We are now entering the next stage of that cycle. While rattling the cages of corporations and governments and shaking up economic systems and religious beliefs may appear to be dangerously reckless, failing to update the ways they function is even riskier.

While many people want to return to the past in attempt to find security and safety, going forward on the road of human evolution is the only way out. As individuals, we help facilitate collective change by opening our minds to making alterations in our own lives. The values and expectations we hold and the habits and beliefs that form us are ready for a rocket ride into the future. Flexibility smoothes out bumps in the road and allows us to turn some sharp corners without losing control of ourselves.

This ability to adapt will probably be greater in the second half of 2012 than during its first six months. That’s because gigantic Jupiter, the planet of philosophy and aspiration, is in stable, stubborn Taurus until June 11. Potential benefits include the possibility of breakthroughs in energy resources and basic reform in the financial sector. Grounding ourselves in more solid values can bring desirable simplicity into our lives and make us more aware of our relationship with the environment. However, Taurus has a conservative side that instinctively resists innovation. The ongoing struggle between traditional perspectives and revolutionary ones could be fierce during this transit.

On June 11, 2012, though, Jupiter enters adaptable Gemini, opening new channels of thought and communication that favor diversity and support our capacity to adapt to change. We can recognize that no single person, religion or nation has a corner on truth, which should open dialogues between previously opposing parties.

Serious Saturn’s continued presence in diplomatic Libra is another favorable force for finding peaceful solutions in 2012. Compromise is a key that we can apply in our personal lives as well. Recognizing ways to express our differences with tolerance and aiming toward common understanding can reduce personal as well as collective warfare.

Idealistic Neptune settles into its compassionate home sign Pisces on Feb. 3 for a 13-year stay. This transit can lead to a spiritual revival, one that helps us surpass the boundaries of dogma to recognize that what we share far surpasses any of our differences. Faith in the healing power of unconditional love and awareness of the ways in which beauty and kindness overcome intellectual nitpicking and philosophical fighting are divine gifts that offer hope that we can create heaven on Earth.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 31st

The year 2011 is now going to end – not with a whimper, but more likely a bang. The reasons are numerous. First of all, yesterday’s void lunar adventure in watery Pisces ends at 1:49AM PST this morning when the Moon enters fiery, assertive Aries. Thus, this last day of the year carries the essence of independent, forceful Ram-vibrations. Meanwhile, the Moon quickly unites with Uranus (3:29AM PST) – the radical-change agent planet that also stimulates liberation movements, one of the major themes around the globe during the past 12 months. Emotional storms as well as some partnership upheavals can coincide with a Juno-Pluto 45-degree connection (5:30AM PST). Later on, the best alignment today occurs when Mercury in Sagittarius forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Chiron in Pisces (5:16PM PST). Hang on to these healing, revelatory and soulful energies as you may need them during the remaining evening hours. The key challenges tonight – which could short-circuit vital communications and coincide with some psychic meltdowns – come from Mercury squares Mars (10:07PM PST) shortly before the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives (activating 11 degrees of Capricorn and Aries at 10:16PM PST). Realize that a quarter-moon vibration is a square aspect of 90-degrees from Sun to Moon – when you primarily need to cut through obstacles blocking your path. Therefore, this year ends with Mercury-Mars and Sun-Moon squares – both of which are waxing in intensity or increasing in light. There is a clear message here that humanity needs to understand the esoteric message of experiencing Harmony through Conflict – the keynote of one of the seven rays associated with the seven colors of the rainbow linking heaven to earth. When you are making New Year’s resolutions, keep in mind that the first day of 2012 actually carries a much more buoyant and optimistic tone than the last 24-hour time-period of 2011.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 30th

It may feel as if the year is ending today rather than tomorrow because the imaginative Pisces Moon coaxes us out of the real world and into our dreams. The Moon’s creative square to mental Mercury allows us to bend the facts based upon our needs while her tense opposition to feisty Mars increases our impatience. Meanwhile, an eccentric Mercury-Uranus alignment fills our fantasies with unconventional ideas that encourage us toward radical action.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You probably have a clear set of objectives and understand why it’s important to tie up loose ends today. However, your mind is on everything except work because you’re eager for the weekend to begin. The Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Escapism opposes action-hero Mars in your 6th House of Employment, enticing you to find ways to avoid doing much of anything. Unfortunately, you’ll pay the price for procrastinating, so bite the bullet and get your chores done before it’s too late.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in a creative mood today, but you might not have time for artistic pursuits. Responsibilities at work have piled up or there are chores yet to finish at home. Nevertheless, a bit of concentrated effort can go a long way now if you don’t allow yourself to be distracted by everything interesting thing that comes to your attention. Narrow your focus so you have time to explore playful self-expression later in the day.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be uncertain about what you need to do in order to live up to other people’s expectations. For example, your boss might give you unclear directions and then be unavailable to answer your questions. Or, you might have previous obligations that distract you from a current assignment. In any case, accepting the impossibility of pleasing everyone frees you to simply do the best you can and then let go until the confusion clears.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your head is filled with such big ideas now that it’s unrealistic to make any of them come true. Even if you create a prioritized list of things to do, your wandering mind scatters your thoughts and actions. Instead of biting off more that you can chew, use the day to review the previous year and think about the next one. Don’t judge yourself harshly if you aren’t very productive today. Some days are just meant for dreaming.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to stretch your boundaries today by talking about your feelings with someone special. However, your words may seem vague, even if you have very specific things you want to say. Ironically, using fewer words helps you to be more concise in your thinking. Save the long rambling conversations for another day; instead, let your actions speak for you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be stressed out by someone close to you because you cannot figure out what he or she wants. Even if you’re asked for something very specific, you could be confused when you deliver the goods only to have your partner or friend tell you that you got it wrong. You might begin to think that you’re in a no-win situation, but your frustration is temporary. Thankfully, you’re able to change the dynamics when you stop trying so hard and just treat your loved ones with kindness.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have high hopes for improving your daily health regimen now and may try to put your goals into the form of resolutions for the New Year. However, the dreamy Pisces Moon in your 6th House of Details makes it hard to put your desires into an executable plan. Instead of writing a list of vague generalities based upon unrealistic goals, be specific as possible. It’s better to have two or three concrete items than lots of good ideas that remain unrealized.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you might talk about how you’re going to increase your income or change your spending habits, your actions today don’t necessarily support your goals. You may be tempted to spend money on something for the sheer enjoyment of it. Unfortunately, you could become self-critical very quickly, preventing you from having the pleasurable experience you expected. Cut yourself some slack so you can have a little well-earned fun.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you continue to apply yourself toward specific professional goals, you might choose to leave work early today. You’re tempted to retreat into the hidden recesses of your own mind and leave some responsibilities unfulfilled. Instead of participating in social activities later on, consider staying home and escaping by watching a movie, playing video games or reading a book.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This can be a good planning day as long as you remember to pay attention to the details. You’re tempted to dream big, while still understanding the need to maintain a practical outlook on your future. Even if you are thinking about taking a vacation to an exotic location, you’re able to keep yourself on track and within your budget. Research your options, take good notes, and don’t be afraid to do something you have never done before.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends and associates can be a source of good times today, but participating in social activities might end up costing you more than expected. It’s not that you’re stingy; it’s just than you would prefer to know in advance how much something will cost. Although you may want to blame others for misleading you, your eagerness to be involved might have inhibited you from asking too many questions up front. Let go of any resentment; for now, just enjoy yourself while you can.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It seems as if others are picking on you today for no reason at all. But the hypersensitive Pisces Moon is opposite Mars in critical Virgo, suggesting that you are more vulnerable now than usual. Don’t assume that everyone is on your case just because you’re feeling insecure. You could miss out on some very good advice if you’re afraid of hearing the truth.

Your Lunar Love Horoscopes for Dec. 30th – Jan. 1

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Sweet and Spicy

December 30 – 1

Feelings may be soft and tender on Friday with the Moon in surreal Pisces. This whimsical lunar transit is excellent for romantic escapes where practical matters and responsibilities give way to dreams and fantasies. Movies and music are wonderful for tapping into the soulful emotions embodied by this tender lunar placement. Gently going with the flow without overt ambition creates an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion that engenders trust and affection.

Feelings of safety and the soft edges of imagination are burnt off with a lunar shift into fiery Aries on Saturday morning. The call for immediate action is shouted out with a verbally assertive square between communicative Mercury and forceful Mars. Channeling some of this mental heat into games redirects competitive instincts in a socially acceptable direction. Wit and humor can be delicious by-products of this spicy planetary pair, but sharp words cut deeply if we don’t measure them carefully. This New Year’s Eve is more likely to spur loud talk and raucous behavior rather than the sentimental sounds of “Auld Lang Syne.” Slow down to avoid dangerous actions or incendiary speech.

Sunday may be slightly mellower even though there’s still a dash of impatience present with the impetuous Aries Moon ringing in the New Year.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Dec. 30th

Learn to roll with the psychic punches as the Moon parallels Uranus (12:05AM PST) while the Moon in Pisces squares Mercury in Sagittarius (1:41AM PST) and the Moon opposes Mars (5:39AM PST). These three aspects may not be the most important ones in the astrological deck, but as a trio, they can shake up the status-quo this morning. In addition, the Moon-Mars polarity starts a fairly long void lunar cycle that lasts until 1:49AM PST tomorrow when the Moon will enter fiery Aries. Therefore, most of today’s activities take place with a Moon in uncertain terrain and meandering in the last sign of the zodiac. This can be helpful if you want to retreat from the maddening crowd and restore your soul-personality alliance via meditation and reflection. Productivity across the board can still rise – thanks to the monthly Moon-Ceres union at 2:31PM PST. This lunar rapport with the largest asteroid doubles as a support for changing your diet along better nutritional lines. Be more nurturing to maternal figures, children and pets in your family circle. Get extra rest tonight as the last day of 2011 appears to be a humdinger and not of the most exalted kind.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 29th

We are forced into the shadows of unknown territory as the Sun conjuncts regenerative Pluto, establishing a powerful tone for today. Magically, the most profound changes, such as a caterpillar’s mysterious metamorphosis into a butterfly, occur hidden in the dark. The imaginative Pisces Moon forms a supportive sextile to Pluto and the Sun, further intensifying our feelings. Meanwhile, otherworldly septiles remind us of how much we don’t know.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s difficult to relax now because you’re likely to push up against deep resistance to change. Although you’re quick to blame others for your frustration, it originates within you. You might bury your head in the sand and pretend that you cannot understand what’s happening, but denial won’t solve anything. Instead, confront your fears so you can get to the source of your own psychological melodrama. Awareness is the first step in making positive change.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your fantasies may take you for an intense trip through your fears today, yet you could come out the other side with a much more positive perspective. Still, this isn’t a light and easy journey, because there aren’t any guarantees that your current transformation will succeed. However, it’s not important to overcome all the negativity at once. Take time to assess your strengths and weaknesses so you can prepare for the future with a realistic outlook.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re more eager than usual to explore what’s beneath the surface in your attempt to understand your feelings now. The most meaningful emotional treasures are hidden deep under the veneer of social etiquette. However, you may become so fixated on the potential rewards that you push too hard. Unfortunately, your obsessive behavior today could upset a relationship. Take time to moderate your need for change with sufficient patience to allow the current situation to transform at a natural pace.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel as if you’re giving birth to a whole new way of relating to others now, but this change comes with its own share of stress. In order to reinvent yourself you must confront someone’s control issues, especially if you are growing in ways that appear to threaten the status quo. On the other hand, you might be the one who is stuck, and you don’t appreciate anyone meddling in your affairs. However, there’s no need to hold on to the past now; it’s slipping away from you whether you like it or not.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re ready to go ahead with your plans now, even if you’re receiving mixed signals from everyone else involved. However, it isn’t a good strategy to push your agenda onto anyone else. Instead of progressing toward your goals, you could inadvertently agitate unnecessary emotional conflict. Just keep in mind that you may need to proceed on your own if your friends and acquaintances don’t understand your current passion.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re so concerned with making everything perfect now that you tend to plan more than is necessary. Unfortunately, placing too much attention on the details can spoil the fun by taking the spontaneity out of the day. Avoid getting swept into an unnecessary power struggle just because you believe that your way is the only way. Lessen the pressure on the current circumstances by consciously choosing acceptance over fear.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone’s unspoken feelings can mess things up today, even if it seems safer in order to avoid conflict. Unfortunately, the hidden cost of peace may be higher than you realize since jealousy or possessiveness can stir anger and resentment. The potentially negative energy is tricky to control because sharing can be as problematic as keeping everything to yourself. It’s healthy to talk about what’s happening, but don’t get so intense that you push others away.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be feeling overwhelmed with how many things you have to do now, but your intensity level is high and you’re committed to do whatever it takes to cross some tasks off your list. Unfortunately, you might disagree with someone who has a different idea of how you should spend your day. Actually, a willful Sun-Pluto conjunction can turn every interaction into a major drama today. Processing your emotions before you react enables you to control the flow of events.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are determined to get what you want today, but it’s wise to recognize that acting in harmony with your core values is more important than material satisfaction. You might reconsider a recent decision and want to modify your course of action, but this can be complicated if you’re already in motion. There’s no need to panic, so allow sufficient time to alter your plans. Keep in mind that you didn’t get to this point overnight, and you won’t be able to change direction in a moment’s notice.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are susceptible to the emotional intensity of today’s Sun-Pluto hook-up because it occurs in your sign. Even the most minor issues can be quickly blown out of proportion as tempers flare and passions erupt. You might become obsessed about having your way now, and you’re not willing to take no for an answer. Unfortunately, you could invite stronger resistance if you are too assertive. Being gentle and persistent is more effective than forcing your point of view on anyone else.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might think that you’ll accomplish more today by sticking to your schedule, but it’s very important to remain flexible with your time. Your enthusiasm may be dampened if unforeseen events in the morning require you to abandon your previous plans. Making commitments in advance is a smart strategy as long as you know when to let go of control. Don’t struggle trying to hold your agenda together; instead, let it fall apart so you can put the pieces back together tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your dreams about the future are quite intense now, bringing excitement one minute and worry the next. You’re beginning to realize that your plans are not unfolding as expected. But rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, try to see this as an opportunity to reinvent yourself according to your vision and not someone else’s. Let go of past goals that are no longer meaningful. Instead, get ready to step into the year ahead by setting new priorities for your life.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 29th

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that last night’s conjunctions are gone and forgotten. As a matter of fact, they are very strong – particularly the extremist, brooding and underground nature of the annual Sun-Pluto merger in Capricorn. Add on this morning’s Venus-Pluto parallel (3:06AM PST) and it is clear that stormy conditions can rock anyone’s boat – emotionally, romantically and financially. Fortunately, the Moon in Pisces forms a supportive, 60-degree link to the Sun in Capricorn (5:57AM PST) just a few hours before a mystically-charged, 72-degree contact occurs between Mercury and Neptune (8:58AM PST). The Sun-Moon and Mercury-Neptune liaisons go a long way to neutralize some of the tensions associated with the Sun-Pluto and Venus-Pluto interactions. Try your hand at writing rhyme poetry, haiku or limericks. Help people truly down on their luck under the compassionate aegis of Pisces Moon. Photography, music and dance may cure you of the blues as Pallas makes a frictional, 45-degree link to shock-master Uranus (9:56PM PST) while a couple of challenging sky patterns are waiting in the wings early on Friday to test your resolve and stamina.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 28th

Mercury forming a supportive, 60-degree tie to Pallas (3:29AM PST) keeps those exalted, innovative Pallas vibes going full blast in the early hours. You can be a problem-solver extraordinaire. However, Mercury moves on to make a more abrasive, 135-degree tie to giant Jupiter (5:29AM PST). This challenging alignment – along with a Sun-Juno 45-degree clash (4:13AM PST) and Moon-Saturn parallel (6:18AM PST) – indicates that some psychic thunderstorms concerning communications, travel plans and educational interests may interfere with your forward progress this morning. Later on, inspirations abound during the monthly Moon-Neptune union in Aquarius (1:32PM PST). Any lunar conjunction with far-out Neptune can result in your receiving mind-blowing realizations that can literally change your consciousness forever. On the other hand, this Moon-Neptune merger also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 3:46PM PST when the Moon dives into the mysterious waters of Pisces. Once the alchemical shift of the Moon from air to water takes place, the Moon makes its monthly communion with healing-maestro Chiron (7:06PM PST) just a few hours before the Moon joins forces with soul-sister Vesta (10:48PM PST) and the Sun makes its annual union with underworld-ruling Pluto in Capricorn (11:44PM PST). This is quite an evening – with spiritual, investment and willpower vibrations at white-hot intensity. The lunar links to Chiron and Vesta are much more tender and sensitive than the single-minded, intense Sun-Pluto contact. Stay on alert throughout the night and into early Thursday to make sure loved ones are protected and that your words and deeds are of the highest caliber.

Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 23rd

Every so often the universe quiets down and goes on hiatus. This is happening today as the cosmos reveals a Sun-Vesta 60-degree rapport (4:32AM PST) followed 5+ hours later by a Sun-Chiron 60-degree rapport (9:49AM PST). Then – to reinforce these two 60-degree aspects – Vesta unites with Chiron at 2 degrees of Pisces (6:16PM PST). Fundamentally, you have a pretty open track to do your thing in this 24-hour time-period. The Moon transiting in Sagittarius continues to strengthen your optimistic mind-set and a happy-go-lucky temperament. Meanwhile, the Sun-Vesta and Sun-Chiron aspects help you work with soul-sisters and holistic healers who can nurture your mind-heart-body connections. In addition, you can make gains on the investment and business horizons. The Vesta-Chiron conjunction is fairly rare and suggests that soul-searching and in-depth studies are advised tonight. Don’t be surprised if visions and intuitive flashes inundate your consciousness. Learning more about Zen Buddhism, oracles, sacred dance, mantras, talismans, ETs, UFOs and esoteric brotherhoods and sisterhoods makes sense. Gear up for a potent weekend as the Capricorn New Moon of Saturday will lead to Jupiter’s shift from retrograde to direct motion on Sunday.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 19th

If you require a morning to be extra focused on accomplishing important business tasks and discussing financial affairs with a trusted associate, this looks like a promising time-period as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Saturn in Libra (8:26AM PST). The Sun and Saturn only make two of these alignments in a calendar year and with the Moon energizing relationship-oriented Libra right now, the cosmic vibes can be solidly in your corner. Keep striving to be an expert problem-solver even though the Sun makes a somewhat dicey, 45-degree link to genius-endowed Pallas (4:26PM PST). Enjoy an interlude of quiet contemplation or play strategic games like chess or backgammon with an eager partner. Learn from your revered mentors this evening during the monthly Moon-Saturn union (10:20PM PST). Keep sailing on the artistic horizon – thanks to a supportive, 60-degree connection from the Moon to the Sun (11:18PM PST). After spending many months of 2011 in Aquarius, the asteroid Vesta enters Pisces (11:46PM PST) until February 25, 2012. Over the next two months, check out the safety and security of plumbing around your residence. Is the water coming out of your tap pure and uncontaminated? Make sure your insurance company is giving you the best coverage and rates.

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

The Sexiest Zodiac Signs

  • Mel, selected from DivineCaroline

By Sage Romano, DivineCaroline

I’ve always had great luck with Capricorns. Tauruses? Yawn. Geminis? Maybe, if you like all that talking. Leos? Self-absorbed drama queens. My romantic history is a constellation of personalities and capabilities and experiences, but there’s obviously something about my Virgo sensibilities that jibes with the patience that the average Capricorn bestows upon the act of tossing a girl’s salad. Or did you think I was talking about something else? We’re not interested in love matches here, people. This is all about that other kind of chemistry and which signs of the Zodiac are guaranteed to be a good time and which might be a great time.

Aries: The Minute Man
This fire sign is known for being a pretty straight shooter. Aries will have no compunction at all about sharing his or her raunchiest ideas about what to do in the sack. The problem with straight shooters, though, is that they always like to get right to the point. So count on an Aries to take charge and get you where you want to go—in a hurry.

Taurus: The Romancer
Where Aries is all lusty impulse, Taurus takes his or her time. Plan on being wined and dined, perhaps to the point of frustration. And once the Taurus has decided you’re the one for the job, prepare yourself for plenty of foreplay. If romance is your thing, Taurus is your sign.

Gemini: The Talker
The Gemini will bring all his or her intellect to bear upon getting bare. If you have simpler, quieter tastes, you might be a little shocked by Gemini’s saucy, seductive monologues. But if phone sex and dirty talking gets your motor humming, a Gemini is what you’re looking for. But be prepared to not get a word in edgewise.

Cancer: The Love Maker
Cancers are highly emotional signs, which means that sex is not merely a mechanical physical undertaking; rather it is expected to be a poetic act of beauty and love and all that good stuff. If you’re going to get naked with a Cancer, prepare yourself for an intense ride. And perhaps some post-coital crying.

Leo: The Narcissist
The passionate and adventurous nature of the Leo cannot be surpassed. There is no end to the imaginative ways a Leo will come up with for you to pleasure him or her. Those cats are born sexual dominants who ooze lusty confidence, and they’re unapologetic about it. While your romp with the lion will be memorable, for sure, best remember your satisfaction will be a secondary matter.

Virgo: The Closet Nympho
You might be surprised to learn that shy, demurring Virgo would ever be ready to rock without than fistfuls of condoms and spanking clean bed sheets. The reserved demeanor of the earthy virgins doesn’t hint at their inner lustiness. Once your Virgo knows and trusts you, watch out. You won’t get a moment’s peace.

Libra: The Connoisseur
The Libra is an artiste when it comes to knocking boots. They seek out a perfect harmony with their partner, luxuriating in every detail, and they go big on romantic accoutrements such as lingerie, massage oil, and soft music. You know, so it’s just like a bad porno—perhaps it even includes a fortuitously timed visit from the pizza guy.

Scorpio: The Leg-Humper
Fiery, licentious Scropio is the horn dog of the zodiac. While their sexual prowess and magnetism can hardly be ignored, getting in bed with a scorpion can have its sting. While you will probably get the ride of your life, Scorpio’s love ’em and leave ’em approach to sex could leave less lusty signs cold.

 

Sagittarius: The Don Juan (or Juanita)
A master of the art of seduction, a Sagittarius is all about the hunt. They hone their powers of seduction, pouncing upon their objects of desire only after rendering them utterly helpless in the face of their sexual deftness.

Capricorn: The Slow Boat
Capricorn can come across as a lumbering kind of lover. Slow to make the first move, patient to the point of impertinence once the ball does get rolling, Caps may not wow with skill and energy in the sack, but they will steadily, diligently apply themselves to the all-you-can-eat buffet of their lover. Be patient with a Capricorn, and you will be well rewarded.

Aquarius: The Toy Collector
If you’re someone who is put off by the idea of a velvet box full of scintillating, slippery, and battery-operated accoutrements under your lover’s bed, it’s best you steer clear of Aquarius. Always ready to experiment with any number of the paths to pleasing themselves and their partners, the Aquarian will bring more to the party than some signs can take.

Pisces: Old Faithful
Much like Cancer, Pisces will value the emotional connectivity of sex over the physical one. Passion, love, attention, patience—these will all come into play with your Pisces lover. But you’ll likely have to do most of the work. The fish are notoriously lazy lays, preferring to kick back and bask in the attentions of their beloved. Might want to take a cue from Aquarius and bring some party favors to keep things interesting.
 

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Make the most of the Moon’s journey

All eyes are on the Moon as we near the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on December 10. But how much do you know about the Moon and how it affects you? Changing signs every two and a quarter days, the Moon is the fastest moving astrological “planet.”

The Moon represents our emotions, and as it travels through the different horoscope signs, our moods follow suit. We feel best and operate most effectively when we’re cooperating with the energy of the Moon, as indicated by the horoscope sign it’s in at any given time.

Monthly power times

Pay special attention to when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun sign — these few days of each month are your power times! The tides are flowing in your direction, so you’ll feel more confident and energized, and people are more likely to respond to you positively.

So, if you’re planning to invite someone special out on a date, ask for a raise, go on a job interview or any other task requiring self-assertion and risk-taking, these are the days to go for it.

On the flip side, when the Moon is in the sign opposite to your Sun sign, keep a low profile. (If you’re not sure which sign is opposite, just count six signs away from yours.) Catch up on rest, and do for others rather than expecting things to go your way. Plan accordingly — this is not the time to push it and try to get ahead.

Discover how to make the most of the Moon’s visit to each horoscope sign:

Aries Moon

Get physical! The first horoscope sign calls for action and movement. Go for a run or hike, dance, work out at the gym or find some other way to let off steam. Tempers can rise under this fiery Moon, so find healthy outlets for expression — physical and/or creative. This Moon can light a fire under you to start putting your ideas into action, so take a risk in the direction of your desires.

Taurus Moon

Slow down and take time to nurture your body and the planet. This sensual and earthy sign invites you to appreciate the physical world and the realm of the senses. Walk through the woods, work in the garden, get a massage or play soothing music. This tends to be a mellow, restful and reflective Moon — a time to practice simply being.

Gemini Moon

Call your friends, catch up on emails and chat with the neighbors while the Moon visits the airy sign of the Messenger. Your mind is especially active, even hyper-active, so give it something to stew on. This is an ideal time for taking (or teaching) a class, learning something new and exploring multiple perspectives. Follow your curiosity and keep an open mind.

Cancer Moon

Curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea during this homebody Moon (Cancer is, afterall, the Moon’s home sign). As a sensitive Water sign, the Crab calls for tuning in to your inner world. When you give yourself permission to feel and express your emotions, you’re more likely to avoid the down side of this Moon — crabbiness. Cook a nourishing meal, perhaps inviting a close friend or family member for dinner.

Leo Moon

This fiery Moon wants to play and celebrate. Let your inner child take the lead and do something spontaneous that serves no purpose beyond having fun. The Lion rules the heart, inspiring romance and passion — an ideal time for getting decked out in your most glamorous attire and hitting the town. Creative energy abounds — express yourself!

Virgo Moon

Attend to the nitty gritty details of daily life when the Moon enters this sign of service. Catching up on household chores, organizing the closet, balancing your checkbook — these mundane tasks might sound like a bore, but you feel so much better when you stop procrastinating and get the job done. People tend to be more critical and fault-finding than usual, so pay attention to the little things.

Libra Moon

The Moon in the horoscope sign of the Scales brings attention to what’s out of balance, inviting you to create more harmony in your relationships, environment and inner world. Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and the arts. Enhance your appearance with a new hair style or clothes, and plan to socialize. Cultural events and creative activities are especially recommended.

Scorpio Moon

Invite your inner witch or wizard to come out of hiding during this magical Moon, a prime time for casting spells and performing rituals. You’re more tuned into both the invisible realm and the dark side now — including shadowy emotions that require an outlet. Share your deepest feelings with someone you trust. This is not a time to party hearty with the crowds — plan an intimate date instead.

Sagittarius Moon

When the Moon visits the horoscope sign of the Archer, you’re ready for adventure, exploration and expansion. These days are perfect for travel. If you can’t take a trip in the physical world, broaden your intellectual and spiritual horizons by attending a lecture or workshop. Restlessness is common, as your mental arrows shoot out in multiple directions — plan for lots of activity, movement and socializing.

Capricorn Moon

Now is the optimal time to accomplish any ambitious projects requiring hard work, perseverance and pragmatism. For best results, mimic the Mountain Goat — move slowly, cautiously and deliberately as you reach for the top. Don’t let the heaviness and somber tone of this Moon get you down — if you stay focused on your plans and goals, you feel energized and productive.

Aquarius Moon

You’re in the mood for networking, connecting with friends and all group activities when the Moon calls on community-minded Aquarius. Your intuition is heightened, inviting flashes of insight that help you to see your life from a higher perspective. If you’re feeling stuck, this revolutionary Moon wants to liberate you from old ways of thinking and inspire you to make changes that enhance your sense of freedom.

Pisces Moon

During this sensitive and squishy Moon, retreat, rest and reflection are recommended. Your dreams are more active than usual, so pay attention — they may have important information for you. The sign of the Fish activates your imagination and fantasies, offering an ideal opportunity for creative expression, especially music, dance, painting and poetry.
