Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 16

It’s so easy to talk about our needs today that it’s challenging to stop before revealing too much. Going too far is a danger when sensual Venus squares extravagant Jupiter. Additionally, setting sensible limits can be nearly impossible now as rational Mercury forms an awkward quincunx with Jupiter. Meanwhile, the magnetic Scorpio Moon attracts emotionally intense situations, making it all the more difficult to avoid the drama of overindulgence.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Even if the past few days have been memorable, you still want to make the good times last as long as possible. Luckily, the stars are in you favor, but you’re able to turn on the charm so effortlessly that you could lose credibility. Keep in mind that everyone can tell when you’re exaggerating, so be honest and stick to the facts. Speaking the truth won’t interfere with your fun.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your trusty senses are picking up reliable data today, but you can’t concentrate enough to take it all in. Nevertheless, you could easily step over the edge of reason if you don’t listen carefully. You may let loose, but later realize that it wasn’t worth it. Even if you’re eager to have a bit more fun, keep track of when it’s time to get back to work.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

If you are overwhelmed by too many lovely distractions today, it may be time to figure out how to stop wasting your time and energy. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, for you aren’t likely to say no if you think that the potential for pleasure is in the picture. Moderation is your current key to success, even if it’s an elusive goal at this time.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might need to learn how to keep your emotions to yourself in order to be more effective in the professional world. Just remember that containing your moods won’t make you feel them any less. In fact, you could be more inclined to stay in touch with your passions once you realize that you don’t have to reveal your preferences to anyone else. Instead of worrying about what you don’t say, share only what you want when you’re ready.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may continue to hide something important, yet the pressure to come clean now is driving you to the edge. You are probably ready to share what you’ve been keeping secret with someone you can trust, even though it might not be easy to tell all the details. Nevertheless, the emotional rewards can be worth whatever stress you feel along the way.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your legendary ability to stay on track at work is tested today, but surprisingly you would rather have fun now than do the responsible thing. A conscious change of attitude may be required now because you can see possibilities for pleasure everywhere you look. You really want to discover where your choices might lead. Put on your blinders if needed; you can always explore your options another day.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Unfinished tasks pull you out of your reverie today, yet the depth of your new awareness is up to the whims of trickster Mercury. It’s even tougher than usual for you to walk away from sweet pleasantries. But it might take days to dig your way out if you let yourself fall into a self-indulgent trap. It’s healthier to flirt around the edges and save yourself from the embarrassment of going too far.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be a slave to your commitments now, since you have probably taken on more than you can accomplish. But don’t be overly concerned; you’re beginning an industrious cycle where you are more capable than others imagine. However, you may also have an inner dialogue going on today, giving you permission to have fun. Go ahead and enjoy yourself; you’ll return to your work refreshed and energetically ready for the next round.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you are riding waves of unrestrained optimism now, you can still land in a pile of trouble. You may see inklings of a more realistic perspective, but you aren’t willing to give up your piece of blue sky. Denial might put a smile on your face for a short while, but it won’t make you happy in the long run. Face the truth with courage, even if you must moderate your fun-loving ways for the cause.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Perhaps you think you can escape a relationship problem by going back to work now, but there may also be issues with your coworkers that must be addressed. You can hide your head in the sand and only consider the positive side of a situation, but you’ll be better off if you can face the negative feelings, too. Being honest today should improve both business and personal interactions.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have things to do that cannot be delayed, but you still might try your hand at procrastination if you think you can get away with it. Thankfully, your easy way with words works in your favor now, enabling you to convince others that your approach is a viable one. However, overplaying your hand is a bad idea because you could lose the support of a trusted ally. Maintaining your integrity is more important than making yourself look good.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you want to enjoy yourself, you’re torn by a familiar tug-of-war between having fun and being responsible. Your lack of motivation now makes it even more difficult since you can think of a million other things to do before you get down to business. There’s no need to struggle with self-judgment because your energy will be different tomorrow, making it easier to catch up on anything you didn’t finish today.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 16

Try to keep up with your forward momentum. Yesterday’s Libra New Moon was awkwardly presented to humanity, but now under a Scorpio Moon dynamism and with the lunar orb trine Chiron (1:49AM PDT) consider ways to be a healing force to the people who help to turn your world around on a daily basis. Giving you a welcome and added boost in the early hours is a supportive, 60-degree rapport from Mercury to Venus (5:32AM PDT).  The latter hours require more finesse to glide through since Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Jupiter (3:37PM PDT), Venus squares Jupiter (4:35PM PDT) while Venus also makes an abrasive, 45-degree contact with Saturn (9:10PM PDT). With friends like these, who needs enemies? Over-optimism and pride can lead to a fall. Add a dose of humility to avoid hubris and thinking you reside at the center of the universe.  You may be able to extract some good vibes across the board from a supportive, 60-degree rapport between the Moon and Venus (7:17PM PDT) as well as the monthly Moon-Mercury union (7:24PM PDT). Increase the value of your emotional and mental IQ. Catch up on delayed correspondence.  However, this last alignment begins a new void lunar stalemate that goes on until 5:27PM PDT tomorrow when the Moon switches its allegiance from Scorpio to Sagittarius. It is wise to hedge your bets during this long lunar limbo-period in the eighth sign of the zodiac. Studies in esoteric philosophy and about pyramid power, ancient ruins, UFOs, ETs, reincarnation, deja vu and oracles may give you an evening boost.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 15

This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill lunation. Instead, the New Moon — energizing 23 degrees of Libra at 5:04AM PDT — begins a void lunar cycle that lasts for 12 hours until 5:07PM PDT when the Moon enters Scorpio.  Normally, a New Moon signals a gung-ho, assertive time-period right as it happens. However, in this situation, the universe is handing you an enormous amount of dynamism and asking you to be extra careful and patient for a 12-hour time-span. Meanwhile, before the void lunar uncertainty zone takes hold, Mars and Uranus form a flowing trine in fire signs (3:35AM PDT), but it is questionable whether you can really tap into this firestorm of positive energy.  The major planetary alignment today is actually a frictional, 135-degree link from Jupiter to Saturn (9:57AM PDT). Anytime the two biggest planets in our solar system are at loggerheads, it is difficult to solve large-scale problems and make headway on the career horizon. Plus — this Jupiter-Saturn tussle happens when the Moon is out of sorts. Venus moving into an inspirational, 72-degree link with Ceres (4:49PM PDT) should increase productivity across the board, but it is probably too little too late.  Once the Moon escapes the void-of-course, up-in-the-air condition by entering watery and passionate Scorpio (5:07PM PDT), a whole new energy dynamic can arrive. Don your Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie disguise to play the role of amateur detective. Solve family mysteries and ferret out decades-old secrets. It won’t be easy since the Moon unites with limitation-producer Saturn (7:05PM PDT) while the Sun forms a dicey, 45-degree tie with Juno (7:40PM PDT). If you can tweak these last two aspects into giving you a strong sense of logic and reason, as well as strengthening your emotional nature, then you can come through like gangbusters and really make some forward progress.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 14th

Yesterday’s darkening of the Moon’s energy-field becomes more palpable now since the next New Moon is only a day away. Batten down the hatches and lower your expectations about what can be done and how much can be accomplished — especially as the red planet Mars battles against wounded-healer Chiron via a square pattern (11:48AM PDT).  Pull away from the struggles of life in order to enjoy a visit to an art gallery or museum. Try your hand at haiku, limericks or calligraphy. Treat a friend or loved one to lunch at a favorite cafe.  Let your jovial demeanor take flight for a change of pace as the Moon in Libra trines Jupiter in Gemini (6:45PM PDT). Jupiter may still be in a tailspin, but any lunar trine to the largest planet in our solar system can equate with a rising tide of literary and educational pursuits. Pounce on sensational ideas, but write them down for future implementation after the New Moon takes hold tomorrow.
