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.

Stretching Ourselves
Stretching Ourselves
With planning, you can turn your dreams into reality…
Jeff Jawer on the topics of venus, neptune, blogs, astrologyWe may find ourselves floating above the ground in the latter part of this week thanks to two spacey and expansive planetary patterns on Thursday Oct. 10 and Saturday Oct. 12. Both invite us to look beyond the limits of current reality where we can find inspiration. This pair of transits, though, is also associated with illusions that can lead us down a garden path that ends in a stony field where hope cannot take root. As with every planetary pattern, there are opportunities and risks.
These events are two challenging squares between Venus and Neptune and the Sun and Jupiter. The first is a romantic’s ideal as the planet of love is dissolved in a dreamy bath of imagination. Hearts can melt as social rules fall away in the fog of fantasy. This is an excellent aspect for inspiring lovers, poets and artists of all kinds. Venus’ aesthetic limits drift away on Neptunian clouds that make previously unattractive people seem more desirable. While it warms the heart to have these erotic boundaries erased, Thursday’s hunger for amour can blur judgment in relationships. We tend to see people as we’d like to see them, setting aside objective criteria and critical thinking. Those seeking pleasure at any cost can find it, although the price to be paid can be disillusionment when this transit passes and reality returns.
Keep those purse strings tight
Venus is also related to values, which can lose connection to logic thanks to Neptune’s unearthly influence. Spending money carelessly is a possible risk that should be avoided by delaying significant purchases. The stressful square between these planets is perfect for having otherworldly experiences but is a negative when it comes to practical matters. If you fall in love with an object or activity that will bust your budget, don’t write a check or take out your credit card until reason returns in a few days.
Take a realistic approach
The Sun and Jupiter are the largest bodies in the solar system, so Saturday’s tense aspect between these giants could shake our planet. There isn’t much that we can do to prevent earthquakes yet a little caution will help us to avoid getting lost in inflationary ideas. The willful, self-important Sun square boundless Jupiter can expand egos, raising expectations and making promises that may be hard to keep. This is another pattern that encourages us to leave behind the limits of common sense to pursue ideas and ambitions that may be impossible to reach. Yet stretching ourselves to see potential beyond present circumstances will provide motivation to aim higher. Whether it’s professional or personal ambition, this is a time to expect more from life.
In these complicated and often difficult times standing still is not the best option. Many of us seek shelter in the past, attempting to return to previous states of comfort that are, alas, behind us now. Yet with a dash of romance and inspiration we can see the shape of a better tomorrow that bold ideas and careful planning could turn into reality.
Your Ancient Symbols Card for October 10th is Venus
Your Ancient Symbols Card for Today
Venus
Venus represents those qualities we commonly associate with the female/yin persona. Venus traits include fertility and the drive to create, unblemished beauty, love, passion, and togetherness. The occurrence of Venus denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. While often very subtle, Venetian influences may have a negative impact unless they are balanced with an influence that can temper the drive of Venus.
As a daily card, Venus suggest you should allow your more feminine traits to guide your actions through this period. Subtlety, efforts to bring people together and allowing your creativity to run free are likely to serve you well at this time. However, like Mars, the powers of Venus are very strong and can do more damage than good if not balanced by other influences.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 8th
Fresh waves of inspiration wash away old fears today as the Moon shifts into optimistic Sagittarius at 8:21 am EDT. We may not know why we’re feeling so good now, but it doesn’t really matter. However, we’re hesitant to kick back and enjoy ourselves because logical Mercury forms an anxious aspect with erratic Uranus. Our cavalier approach gradually turns more serious throughout the day as mental Mercury joins somber Saturn this afternoon.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Just when everything seems to be going your way, another obstacle might stop you in your tracks. Perhaps you underestimated the amount of work on your plate, or maybe you missed an important piece of information. Either way, it makes no sense to complain. You could have seen trouble coming if you were paying closer attention. Instead of wasting energy talking about your predicament, take care of what you need to do as quickly as possible. A positive attitude helps more than you might think.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You don’t want anyone to assume you’re being frivolous; you may even choose to hide your actions today rather than be misjudged. You might even feel as if you don’t have anything left to say, but chances are you just need a bit of time to decide how to express yourself clearly. Don’t worry so much about what others think. Simply tell the truth exactly as you see it and you won’t be faulted for speaking from your heart.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You can’t avoid your own serious attitude as work issues sneak back into your awareness to haunt you today. You may experience a weird combination of excitement and concern as past memories are stimulated by someone in the present. Attempts to evade a meaningful discussion won’t be all that successful now. Proactively engage in a discussion about what’s important instead of spending your time trying to sidestep the truth. Someone has to take the first step and it might as well be you.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
People close to you may think you’re acting too negatively today, yet you might not see yourself in this light. Your harsh perspective stems from the fact a weak link in someone’s story is all too apparent, and you’re simply not willing to support sloppy logic. Don’t try to deny your feelings; instead, just change the tone of your words. It’s okay to be honest as long as you don’t blame anyone else in the process. Honoring your integrity is all that truly matters.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Today could be a turning point as you obsess about your shortcomings, especially if you have been facing issues about your self-esteem. Everyone has regrets; there are always things you could have done better or, perhaps, shouldn’t have done at all. However, instead of aspiring toward perfection now, it might be smarter to accept your limitations, along with the obvious fact that you are human. Shift your thinking by making a list of what you do well. The power of positive thinking will tip the scales in your favor.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your analytical skills are even more finely tuned now that an exacting Mercury-Saturn conjunction focuses your mind like a laser beam. Nevertheless, it’s counterproductive to undermine others with your criticism; there’s nothing to be gained now by nitpicking their work. Providing constructive feedback enables you to explain what improvements could be made without resorting to negativity. Use your powers wisely to bring out the best in everyone.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may feel as if you are stuck in a rut in spite of your current desire for excitement. You might even feel rather disillusioned today about your future prospects. Although a recent disappointment might add to your malaise, don’t make despondency a habit because crucial aspects of your life are about to change for the better. Instead of being sad about an event in the past, switch your focus now and imagine the best possible scenario that could be waiting just around the next corner.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Understanding where your life is leading these days is a real challenge, but you believe that you would be happier if you knew for sure. Your somber attitude weighs heavily on you and you feel burdened by responsibilities that may not even be your own. Unfortunately, you might not be able to imagine an easy remedy to cure your current blues. Thankfully, accepting the truth could be enough to transform your moodiness into hope. Have faith; the sun will come out tomorrow.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your friends and associates may tell you exactly what’s wrong with your new plan today, even if you’re not seeking any feedback. Unfortunately, others aren’t necessarily tactful in their criticism of your ideas. Compounding matters, you could be overly sensitive now and might not take their comments well. But don’t dwell on the negative; you have a lot to do and there’s no time to entertain unproductive thoughts. Things will start to improve once you swing into action and are more open to the constructive input you receive.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s tempting to put extra time and effort into your job today or, perhaps, become more involved in a community project. Either way, your optimism might be flagging now, leaving you with sense of uncertainty about your future. Although you may wonder if your work will actually pay off, it’s not wise to retreat. Don’t abandon your plans; instead, just be more realistic about your expectations so you can actually reach your goals on schedule.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It’s nearly impossible to think about having fun when things at work are so serious these days. You may even walk away from previous plans for an upcoming vacation or a weekend getaway because you simply don’t have time. It’s smarter to focus your energy now on something more practical that contributes to your stability, rather than escaping on a getaway. Sticking close to home makes sense; don’t push out beyond safe limits until you feel as if you’re back on more stable ground. Taking care of unfinished business is your first step to regaining more control of your life.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Someone may deliver a harsh message to you today, but you really don’t have to blindly accept anyone else’s interpretation of reality. Nevertheless, you’re likely to be vulnerable to what you hear if you trust the source. Listen carefully to what others say now, but don’t take anything too personally. You can put what you learn into motion to improve your game if you assimilate the facts without an emotional charge. Remember that those close to you might truly have your best interests at heart.
Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 8th
As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, it is wise to curtail decision-making in the early going today as a lingering void lunar cycle in Scorpio (until 5:23AM) combines with a potentially surprising-shocking 150-degree tie between Mercury and Uranus (12:12AM). It is better to rest, sleep or take a time-out than to pursue objectives without considering the consequences. In general, when a void lunar uncertainty zone occurs with one or more highly-charged and difficult celestial alignments, it is wise to refrain from taking forceful actions that are more likely to fail than succeed. The good news this morning starts arriving once the Moon enters ebullient, fiery Sagittarius (5:23AM) and then unites with Venus (6:57AM). Utilize this lunar rapport with Venus to spring forward with artistic and social ventures. Erotic, romantic vibrations are also on the upswing. However, 5+ hours after the Moon-Venus rendezvous in the heavens, a very different alignment takes center stage when Mercury unites with Saturn in Scorpio (12:40PM). There is always a serious component to any Mercury-Saturn merger and this conjunction will repeat on October 29 and November 25 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle occurring from October 21 to November 10. Mercury with Saturn — while sometimes veering toward pessimism and worry — can provide genius on the professional front and especially regarding understanding mathematics and physics. [Albert Einstein was born with an exact Mercury-Saturn union in pioneering Aries.] Look for breakthroughs in higher consciousness and the arrival of intuitive flashes of insight as the Moon trines Uranus (10:56PM). [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 October 7th
Take advantage of a day which is more favorable than discordant. Giving you a strong upward-and-onward type of boost is the Moon in Scorpio forming a harmonious trine of 120-degrees with Jupiter in Cancer (10:34AM). The several hours just before this aspect is exact are filled with optimistic, hopeful and auspicious vibrations. This is reinforced as Venus enters the Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius (10:55AM) — an upbeat, goal-oriented cycle that lasts until November 5. A main challenging alignment of the day clocks in just a few minutes after Venus enters Sagittarius as Mars makes a frictional, 135-degree tie with Uranus (11:03AM). All hard and intense aspects between the red planet and the revolutionary planet can lead to explosive, unpredictable happenings. Plus, this Mars-Uranus association can stay influential for much of the day. Therefore, risk-taking and acting without careful forethought are off-limits. Thankfully, the fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine are positively activated via a Mercury trine to Chiron (3:08PM). Raise your productivity I.Q. in your main areas of expertise as Venus forms an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Ceres (8:38PM). This link-up doubles as an encouragement for making helpful changes to your dietary and nutritional needs. Slow your tempo later on when the Moon squares Mars (9:55PM) — starting a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 5:23AM tomorrow. Keep overnight decision-making to the bare minimum as Mercury is also approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree link to its higher-guardian planet Uranus (forming exactly at 12:12AM on Tuesday). [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.]

October’s New Moon in Libra gets jolted by Uranus and Pluto
Jeff Jawer on the topics of uranus square pluto, new moon, moon, libra, blogs, astrologyOn Friday, Oct. 4, the Sun and the Moon join together in the sociable sign of Libra. Normally, this accommodating sign is committed to peace, harmony and putting others at ease. But this month’s Libra New Moon falls into a tense alignment with the world-shaking Uranus-Pluto squares that began in 2012 and end in 2015.
I’ve mentioned this series of exact squares between Uranus and Pluto many times before, and I will continue to write about them as planets connect with this transformational pattern. Look, I like my comfort as much as anyone else (and maybe more — I’m a Taurus), but the cosmic reality is that humanity appears to be in the midst of radical changes that will alter the course of our collective future.
And remember, when I see complex transits to an individual’s natal chart, I sometimes say, “Get the planets or the planets will get you.” What I mean is that when we actively participate in waves of change the ride is much more enjoyable than when we resist them.
Overcoming outdated habits
The Uranus-Pluto squares indicate that if we apply innovative ideas and we are able to purge outmoded habits like dependency on fossil fuels, continuing ancient religious rivalries, and producing more waste than we can clean up, we can change the world for the better. But when heads are buried in sand or swamped by propagandist misinformation, less desirable outcomes become more likely.
This week’s Libra New Moon is opposed by explosive Uranus and squared by provocative Pluto, which signals shakeups in relationships. The sweet connections Libra loves are difficult to sustain under these tumultuous circumstances.
An unhealthy example of this lack of cooperation and understanding is represented by the extremely partisan politics that shut down the U.S. government this week. Yet we are also seeing glimmers of hope for Libran diplomacy in U.S.-Iran and India-Pakistan relationships. During volatile periods such as this one we often experience both the positive and negative expressions of the planetary patterns.
We each have the power to change our lives
You and I aren’t national leaders (unless you’re reading this Frau Merkel or President Putin) so we cannot directly affect national policies. However, we each have power to change our lives that sets effective waves of change into motion that can eventually help to reshape the world.
The task that lies before us is to shift our relationship with relationships. While we all need security, Uranus and Pluto’s presence at this New Moon indicate that deepening and discovery are as important as safety now. I don’t think that we must immediately jump into action to shake up connections with loved ones, colleagues and strangers. But allowing ourselves to imagine alternatives to how we connect will reveal new and different ways to be with one another.
The bottom line in relationships, though, is found in the relationships we have with ourselves. What are the balances in your life between safety and security, work and pleasure, comfort and curiosity? Where are the places that you’ve chosen one side and have closed our minds to the other?
When we give ourselves the freedom to range from deep desire to abject uncertainty and to explore unfamiliar territory we open to a new world of possibilities and help all of humanity carve a fresh path to the future.
Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 2nd
If you are sensing a higher buzz and busy type energy-field all around you, chalk it up to the large number of celestial alignments going on at the start of this month. Yesterday’s activation of all three outer planets — not a usual occurrence in one 24-hour time-period — is now amplified by over 10 sky patterns today. Look over the following list: Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Pluto (1:51AM); Saturn trines Chiron (2:38AM); the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Virgo (7:30AM); the Moon parallels Uranus (8:05AM); Mercury squares Juno (11:06AM); the Moon makes its monthly union with Ceres in Virgo (6:29PM); Vesta forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Uranus (7:48PM); Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree connection with Mars (8:16PM) and also forms a contra-parallel with the red planet (9:08PM); the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Chiron (9:25PM); and the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Jupiter (10:59PM). At least three of the above alignments are in the favorable astro-psychic zone while the lunar conjunctions to asteroids Vesta and Ceres can help you tune into investment plans and raise your productivity across the board. Nevertheless, there are enough tensions going on to warn against going too far too fast in affairs of the heart and regarding emotionally sensitive discussions with loved ones. It is also wise to reinforce safety and security measures around your residence and business environment. [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 Monday, Sept. 30th
After two rousing days over the weekend, the cosmos appears to be letting down its guard a little on the last day of the month. Instead, of foisting on humanity tumultuous happenings via planetary alignments at cross purposes, there is a lighter touch in the early going as Venus in Scorpio forms an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Juno in Aquarius (6:03AM). You may recall that only 16 days ago, these two celestial bodies squared off in a 90-degree clash. Now they are working together in tandem — to facilitate feminine interests, reinforce creative artistic expression, and improve the quality of primary partnerships. A little over nine hours later, ingenious ideas are inundating the brightest minds in the human kingdom via a harmonious trine in fire signs between Pallas in Leo and Uranus in Aries (3:22PM). If you ever wanted to sign up for an advanced course in problem-solving and strategic-thinking, this is the right moment. However, just when it seems the universal powder keg appears to be dry or empty, along comes the monthly Moon-Mars conjunction in Leo (7:04PM) — repeating the same union in Leo that happened between these two celestial bodies on the first day of September. While the lunar orb merging with the red planet can equate with acts of faith, courage, stamina or heroism, it is just as likely to push some individuals toward reckless behavior, angry encounters with dear ones, and irrational displays of temper. Knowing the shadow side involved in this sky pattern can help you defuse volatile conditions before they heat up toward a firestorm. The month ends in questionable fashion as the Moon squares Venus (9:49PM) — beginning a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:53AM tomorrow when the Moon enters Virgo. Be sensitive and kindhearted to family members on the ropes overnight. 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.

Your Hot, Hot, Hot Fall Love Horoscopes for 2013
Fall Love Horoscopes 2013
As the temperature drops, your love life could heat up…
Maria DeSimone on the topics of astrology, venus, mars, love, horoscopes, fall equinoxAutumn is coming and you’re probably craving long, cozy walks with your sweetheart. Preferably in the early evening — just when it gets cool enough for the two of you to have another excuse to snuggle in tight. Whether you’re flying solo and dreaming of romance or, if you’ve already got your hands full with someone you love, this fall there’s certainly enough Astrology happening to offer something for everyone. Between eclipse season, another Mercury Retrograde and a fascinating trend with the love planet Venus starting in November, you simply must be “in the know” about what the stars have in store for you … and your heart this fall! Read on to learn how hot your fall is really going to get!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
This fall, you will certainly have a focus on partnership. It all begins on October 18 when a Lunar Eclipse falls in your sign offering you significant emotional fulfillment, or illumination about a personal relationship. You might feel as if you’ve found your spiritual equal if you’re newly dating someone thanks to a gorgeous trine between Venus in Sagittarius to Uranus in Aries just a couple days earlier on October 16. By December 7, your ruling planet, Mars, will enter your 7th House of Partnership for an unusual, extended visit. In fact, once we get to 2014, he’ll turn retrograde and then your relationship rehab will begin in earnest! During the last days of fall however, you and your mate might find that you’re quarreling more than usual. Ask yourself if you’re stirring up the pot just to keep things interesting or if there’s really a deeper issue at hand. Be honest with yourself.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You are about to enter one of the most glorious, pleasurable cycles possible for love and sex, Taurus. Are you ready? Mars, the planet that rules your libido, will enter your 5th House of Romance and Play on October 15 where he’ll remain until December 7. This once-in-two-year-cycle will offer you an opportunity to frolic around — or fool around — with someone special. Enjoy more date nights and entertainment — you deserve it! A notable Solar Eclipse will fall in your 7th House of Partnership on November 3 and for those of you attached Taureans who feel stuck in a stale relationship, there might be an opportunity for a new start.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
This time around, Mercury Retrograde will only affect your love life if you’re wrapped up in a tricky office romance. From October 21 to November 10 Mercury will backtrack through your 6th House of Work and yes, miscommunication is possible in this area of your life. This might be a good time to keep work and play separate — at least temporarily. Thankfully, love potential will be quite exciting this fall for you! On October 7 until November 5 Venus will tour your 7th House of Partnership and any Geminis who are already attached will enjoy an extra harmonious time (even with Mercury Retrograde)! Then, on December 7, sexy Mars will slide into your 7th House of True Love offering a stimulating (and extra-long) cycle when it comes to dating and having fun in the bedroom!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You’re floating on cloud nine these days, Cancer. In fact, you may feel as if you’ve got the world by its tail thanks to lucky Jupiter touring your sign. Blessings are likely to extend to your love life, especially as we get to the gorgeous Solar Eclipse on November 3. This eclipse will light up your 5th House of Expression and help breathe new life into your romantic happenings. Saturn is also in this part of your chart, but will enjoy the support of Jupiter in your sign as well as the eclipse energy to help bring stable, enduring love potential your way. In fact, Venus will enter your 7th House of Committed Partnerships on November 5 for an unusually long stay that will last until March of 2014! You can certainly count on revisions in the love department (most likely with a happy ending). With Mercury also retrograde in your 5th House of True Love from October 21 to November 10 it’s possible that this new love energy will arrive from an old flame who wants to start over. Be open to the possibilities.
Leo (July. 23 – Aug. 22)
You’ll kick things off with such heat this fall you might not want to believe the season is actually changing! Mars, the planet of assertive drive — including your sex drive — will be in your sign until October 15, allowing you to work your “sexy” factor. You’ll notice plenty of courage and stamina to pursue anyone who’s made your heart skip a beat. Love gets even better between October 7 and November 5 as Venus enters your 5th House of Love and Play. Expect romantic prospects at every turn. If, by some chance you’re still single, a gorgeous New Moon in your 5th house on December 2 should put an end to lonely nights once and for all.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Fall will definitely be your season for love! Whether you’re single or attached, romantic prospects will surely intensify. The headline news is that Venus will enter Capricorn and your 5th House of True Love on November 5 and will not leave this area of your chart until March 6, 2014! Why the unusually long visit? Venus will turn retrograde leading to a very special focus on matters of the heart for you. The retrograde won’t actually happen until the Winter Solstice, but during the fall you’ll want to pay close attention to developments in your love life. It will be the situations that happen in this fall that you’ll be revising your approach to come winter. On November 7 you and someone you’re casually dating may decide to take your relationship to the next level. On November 15 Venus will cozy up to Pluto and you can surely anticipate a fated love connection if single. If attached, sparks will FLY with you and your mate!
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
A telling Lunar Eclipse on October 18 will illuminate the status of a close personal relationship. The truth is that you and your partner might no longer be on the same wavelength in many areas and have already spent time and energy trying to reconcile these differences. At eclipse time you’ll know whether or not your efforts have been in vain. Relief is possible however if communication lines are clear. This is due to a helpful trine between Venus in your 3rd House of Communication to Uranus, now in your 7th House of Partnerships. A mutual agreement about changing the paradigm of your relationship to one that’s less traditional might be exactly what you need to salvage it. The Full Moon in Taurus on November 17 will illuminate your 8th House of Intimacy. Will the events that transpire this fall lead you to build a wall even higher than before or will they allow you to trust and reveal yourself completely? Only you can decide.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
This fall you can expect an “all or nothing” approach to love. Venus will be in your sign until October 7 prompting you to have a mesmerizing effect on anyone you want to attract your way. Mercury will turn retrograde in Scorpio however and from October 21 to November 10 you might stumble on your words more than usual. This could prove to be tricky if you hope to have an important conversation with someone special. If a significant decision or vital dialogue must happen between the two of you try to time it as close as possible to November 7 when you’ll have the support of Venus in your 3rd House of Communication at a friendly sextile to Neptune in your 5th House of Love and Play. Even if Mercury is retrograde at least on this day, your lover will be more forgiving of any communication mishaps. The main event however, will be a Solar Eclipse in your sign on November 3. If you’re ready to take a relationship to the next level you’ll push ahead with unstoppable force.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Matters of the heart will become a strong focus for you this fall once we enter eclipse season. On October 18 a Lunar Eclipse in Aries will light up your 5th House of True Love. A casual (possibly torrid) affair may end during this time — particularly if things have been rocky. Alternatively, if you’re dating someone new and your feelings are growing stronger by the day, this eclipse might prompt you to make an emotionally open declaration of love. Venus will help you since she’ll grace your sign from October 7 — November 5. During this time you’ll look more beautiful than ever and will enjoy astounding confidence. This can’t help but translate into greater powers of attraction. Lucky you: you’re sexy and you know it!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Your love life might seem quiet as we begin the fall season but don’t be fooled — there’s plenty of activity in store. It all begins on November 5 when Venus enters Capricorn. Typically this is a cycle where you’ll enjoy greater powers of attraction and will also look and feel more beautiful. The fascinating difference between this year’s visit of Venus to Capricorn however is that Venus will turn retrograde (on December 21) and will not leave Capricorn until March 6, 2014! This fall you must take careful notes about what transpires for you in matters of the heart as well as your overall concept of love. While everything might seem extra special now, you’ll need to practically re-assess where you are in terms of love come winter. There are gorgeous indications this fall however, that you’ll be in a happy place when it comes to romance. On November 7 Venus will be at a gorgeous angle to Neptune helping you open up to a spiritual connection with your mate. Then, on November 15 Venus will be conjunct Pluto making it clear that when it comes to love, you’ll settle for nothing less than absolute intensity! The Full Moon in Taurus on November 17 will lead to an emotional climax between you and someone special.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You might start off on a rough patch this fall when it comes to partnership. If you’re in a committed relationship, you’ll feel this most. Mars, the planet of action but also strife, will continue to move through your 7th House of Partnerships until October 15. After this date you’ll notice fewer arguments between you and your mate but until then, expect plenty of heat. Mercury will move retrograde from October 21 until November 10 and since Mercury rules your 5th house of Romance it’s possible that you’ll experience a few miscommunications during this time. Since Mercury will retrograde through your 10th House of Reputation, be careful about being the subject of salacious gossip. On December 17 a Full Moon in your 5th house will bring an emotionally charged situation between you and your lover to light. For better or worse, expect a turning point.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
If you’re single and looking for love, or, if you’re dating someone new, expect the fall to be filled with romantic potential. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, will continue to move through your 5th House of True Love — a once in twelve year event! With a transit like this you might very well find the love of your life! When Venus trines Jupiter on September 26 you’ll have an even sweeter opportunity for love. If you’re already attached, Mars will enter your 7th House of Partnerships on October 15 and will remain here until December 7. There might be more arguments than usual, or you might decide to speak up for yourself with a greater amount of aggression. The funny thing is that on October 19 when Mars opposes Neptune you and your mate might scratch your foreheads in confusion, wondering what the heck it really is that you’re fighting about after all. Don’t sweat the small stuff!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 14th
Just when it seemed that the cosmos was sick and tired of making the red planet Mars into a villain — as it did last Monday and Tuesday — now the fourth main rock from the Sun meanders into an off-kilter, 150-degree link-up with wounded-healer Chiron (1:32AM). Arguing with or tormenting a dear one with abusive language is bush league and responding to the lowest common denominator of this challenging alignment. Instead, think of a martial art you might want to learn or investigate the nutritional properties of various teas and herbs. If you want to fight and be a warrior, join a campaign for peaceful purposes or be a dynamic ambassador spreading goodwill around the globe. Mercury is also showing signs of distress by making a contra-parallel with the Sun (3:04AM) while squaring Pluto (1:30PM). When Mercury becomes weak or compromised, communication channels are often temporarily blocked and you may need extra oomph and pizazz to get your points across. Stress may also be rising on the emotional front and with primary partnerships due to a square-off of 90-degrees afflicting Venus and Juno in fixed, power signs (1:52PM). Ouch! Feminine issues may seem too hot to handle for the time being. Don’t overdo a visit to the mall by going on a spending spree you might quickly regret. In the meantime, a moderate rescue effort is being conducted by Mars and Uranus making a trine of 120-degrees in fire signs (1:58PM) just a few hours before the Moon and Sun make a similar trine in earth signs (4:18PM). Combine your intuition and common sense into a dynamic duo to get you out of troubled waters. However, the last aspect by the Moon and Sun (4:18PM) begins a void lunar twilight zone that continues until 5:06AM tomorrow. Keep lingering worries at bay tonight and immerse yourself in a bestseller or film classic. 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 September 13th
If you fell into a swoon yesterday — during the fairly long void lunar cycle in happy-go-lucky Sagittarius — you may be in for a rude awakening this morning when the Moon enters hard-nosed, industrious Capricorn (2:57AM). With the Moon now prowling around in the third earth sign of the zodiac for the next 2+ days, it is wise to focus considerable attention on reaching important career milestones or professional aims. A Moon-Venus 60-degree rapport (7:31AM) certainly encourages hard work, combined with finesse and sensitivity, to bring any reluctant business associates to the bargaining table. Lift your productivity I.Q. several notches — courtesy of a lunar trine to the largest asteroid Ceres (3:37PM). This liaison can also put an exclamation point on hiking favorite nature trails or taking a class to improve your culinary talents. Tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration to conquer old fears as the Moon makes its monthly union with Pluto (6:05PM). This is always a good aspect for proceeding forcefully into serious research projects. The love boat enters exotic ports of call this evening when Venus makes a flowing trine to Neptune in water signs (11:34PM). Anyone not currently in a primary relationship can groove with a beloved art, craft or hobby. 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 September 11
The cosmos offers you a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges during — what is usually — a fairly pleasant, enthusiastic and goal-oriented transit of the Moon in Sagittarius every month. The first challenge arrives early when Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with far-out Neptune (3:44AM). Hazy astro-psychic weather conditions hold sway under one of these configurations. Therefore, don’t sign legal papers or conduct down-to-earth business for a couple of hours before and after the exact time of this alignment. The other challenge happens almost 12 hours later when Vesta makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Jupiter (3:06PM). Playing fast and loose with investment funds can boomerang. Focus attention on safety and security needs around your residence or office environment. On the opportunity front, Pallas enters Leo (6:53AM) until November 9 — a great zodiacal placement for artists and performers in any field to strut their stuff and rise to prominence in the public eye. The investment realm improves somewhat when Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Vesta (3:59PM) — a favorable aspect that doubles as a boost for enhancing sisterhood ties. Communications with dear ones can lead to emotional empowerment for all concerned as Mercury trines Juno (4:06PM). Take a look at any new lines of fashion and style coming into the apparel and social scenes. Fun, games, sports, and reaching educational objectives are all promoted by a fiery grand triangle as the Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Leo (3:55PM) and Uranus in Aries (7:14PM). 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.
