Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Sept. 23

We may want to slow down the pace of life today so we can engage our senses more directly, rather than just rushing headlong into the next activity. It’s time to stop and smell the flowers now that the tactile Taurus Moon draws our attention toward physical experiences. Unfortunately, we could easily overindulge since excessive Jupiter is currently in the mix. However, throwing caution to the wind complicates emotional dynamics later in the day.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Handling unfinished financial business makes sense with the Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Money today, but you could mistakenly put effort into an unnecessary task if you don’t set clear priorities first. Establishing what is most important can turn a frustrating day into one of accomplishment. Concentrate on finishing one meaningful project instead of wasting your time on several things that won’t really matter in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You are wearing your heart on your sleeve for everyone to see today, even if you don’t want to share your emotions. Your reactions are more transparent to others now that the Moon is back in your 1st House of Appearances. However, your friends and associates might not fully understand your inner process, especially if things are more complicated than you wish. Although tempting, it’s not wise to leave out significant details just because it’s convenient in the moment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You seem to be as steady as a rock today, but your stability may be a result of withholding something that you aren’t ready to reveal. Normally, you’re eager to blurt out your thoughts but you’re likely to remain quiet now. Wait until you’re clear about your feelings; develop your ideas for another couple of days before divulging your plans. Fine tuning your strategy improves your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s likely that your ideas will continue to take shape over the next couple of days until a concrete plan materializes from the clouds of your imagination. Ironically, the Moon’s current visit to your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes can solidify your plans as you put the pieces of your life together in a practical way, rather than just entertaining idle fantasies. Don’t be overly concerned if you can’t yet figure out how to reach your goals; somehow, all the pieces will fall into place just in time.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You aren’t interested in carefully tip-toeing around the truth today. If you see a direct path to your desired destination, you will likely do nearly anything to get there in a speedy manner. Unfortunately, other people may not be so quick to jump on board, requiring you to slow down to explain your plan point by point. Don’t automatically trust a new partnership now because it might be smarter to work by yourself for a while longer. Sometimes the only person you can really count on is yourself.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re quite comfortable sharing your thoughts now that the Moon is in your 9th House of Big Ideas because it’s easier to talk about the future possibilities rather than the present moment. Stay focused on the horizon; discussing your plans in vague generalities is more productive today than trying to guess what’s missing. You can always fill in the details later when you have more of the specifics at your disposal.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Untangling all the mixed signals may be challenging today, especially if you want to take the course of least resistance. Although you have common sense working in your favor now, you still could be overly serious about the current situation. Your need to be practical conflicts with an irrepressible yet irrational optimism, prompting you to quickly move past your concerns so you can truly enjoy the good times ahead. Concentrate on the present moment and take one step at a time.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You want to sink deeper into your subconscious as you explore the current possibilities in your life. But you might run into resistance if you expect a close friend to participate with you on your metaphysical journey. Others may express their willingness to join you, only to withdraw before the energy becomes too intense. Don’t worry; you’re better off traveling in these imaginative realms by yourself, anyway. Your friends will just have to wait to hear about your amazing adventures when you return.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Routine brings opportunities to think about your physical well-being and encourages you to do something proactive to improve your health. Making small improvements to your diet or exercise program can have positive consequences now as long as you don’t alter too much too fast. Small steps that lead to enduring change are more useful than grandiose gestures that only last a day or two. Taking care of your body ensures that you’ll have the energy later on when you want it.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are riding a highly creative wave as the emotional Moon washes through your 5th House of Self-Expression. Fortunately, the dependable Taurus Moon enables you to set a sustainable pace in the morning and then stick with it until you finish your chores. Thankfully, you should have time for play, too, making this a relatively pleasant day. Nevertheless, expansive Jupiter tempts you to take on more than you can complete, so don’t say yes unless you really mean it.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are likely to receive much-needed support from family members and close friends now that the Moon is hanging out in your 4th House of Roots. Although you appreciate their warm generosity, the assistance might not be what you need — even if others mean well. If you feel smothered by someone meddling in your affairs, express your concerns as kindly as possible. Count your blessings; there’s no reason to make your life more complicated by offending your allies. You’re lucky to have people in your life who care.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be swept right off your feet by other people’s agendas today because you think they need your help. Unfortunately, you could end up feeling like your assistance wasn’t very useful at all. Additionally, your own work could remain neglected. However, if you establish clear boundaries so you can fulfill your responsibilities early in the day, you’ll feel eager about jumping in to support someone else.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Sept. 23rd

Romantic matters may run from hot to cold this week, thanks to two very different cycles at play. First, Venus will be at a gorgeous trine to Jupiter on Thursday, allowing love to flow in the most open, sensitive way. Flattery and lavish gifts might be par for the course! If you’re planning to wine and dine anyone, Thursday will certainly be the day to do it! By the weekend, however, love becomes rocky as Venus and Mars lock horns in a testy square. Pride and power struggles take over and sweet sentiments might be lost amidst a clash of egos. Pick your battles and remember: Every rose has its thorn.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might work so hard talking up your lover to relatives this week that you fail to take an honest look at any holes in your relationship. On Thursday, you’ll certainly see the best in your mate. You might even talk about sharing household expenses or purchasing a home together down the road if you don’t already live together. On Saturday, however, all of your idealism may go out the window when you’re likely to become frustrated with the way in which your lover handles finances. There could be a stalemate.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

With Venus in your 7th House of Intimate Partnerships until October 7, you have a special focus on love that will attract greater harmony and personal happiness. You’ll notice this trend on Thursday, when Venus will embrace Jupiter, the planet of abundance, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Expressing your love and devotion to someone close has never been easier. Remember your heartfelt words, however, because by Saturday you might experience a test. Venus will rub elbows with Mars in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. A domestic squabble may put a damper on romance.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This week you may find it easy to wear your heart on your sleeve. The Moon will be in Gemini and your 1st House of Identity on Tuesday and Wednesday. This cosmic lineup will allow you to express emotions easily — which may bring a welcome change of pace to your usual style of logic first. On Thursday, Venus will be at a brilliant trine to Jupiter, helping to weave a magnetic spell between you and someone at the office. Will you succumb? Or will you try to ignore those butterflies in your stomach?

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Romance seems to flow effortlessly for you these days. With Venus in your 5th House of True Love until October 7, you certainly have an edge when it comes to attracting someone your way. On Thursday, you may feel as if you’ve won the cosmic jackpot of love. Venus will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, now in your sign. Delicious, sentimental, emotionally available amour will be yours for the taking. Whipped cream optional. On Saturday, however, a wrinkle in your romantic bliss might come up if you lose sight of a financial obligation in order to spend big and impress your lover. Think twice.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

With Venus in your 4th House of Home and Family Life, you’re more interested in making sure your lover fits in with your security needs these days. This might mean nesting at home together quietly, or it might have more to do with testing the waters to ensure that your sweetheart fits in with your clan. If he or she does, you’ll be golden; but if there’s any conflict, you might feel stuck in the middle. Ask yourself: Who defines your true state of security? Regardless of your relationship status, that power should belong to no one else but you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Whether you’re single or attached, your social life may be the key to romantic happiness this week. On Thursday, Venus, in your 3rd House of Communication, will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, in your 11th House of Social Networking. You might enjoy a group activity, party or other event with your lover. You may also join a few friends at a social gathering and meet someone who stimulates your mind and heart! On Saturday, remain cautious with the words you choose. An acerbic remark to someone close might sting far more than intended.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your self-worth is tied to partnership under ordinary circumstances, but this week you may feel as if this is especially true. On Saturday, Venus, now in your 2nd House of Possessions, will be at a tense square to Mars, the ruler of your partnership sector. You might feel as if your partner doesn’t value you as much as they should, and if so this might lead to an angry confrontation. Alternatively, you may try to sweep your feelings under the rug in an attempt to avoid conflict. That approach will only backfire.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

With Venus still moving through your 1st House of Self until October 7, you’ll continue to enjoy a certain kind of sex appeal. On Thursday, you may find that you attract someone your way who is from a background quite unlike your own. This may be cultural, religious or educational. Regardless, you’ll feel enamored because of the differences. On Saturday, as Venus squares off with Mars, you might feel frustrated over having to choose between having fun versus taking care of a professional obligation. Do the right thing.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This will be an ideal week to carve out time for yourself in order to consider a decision in your personal life. On Thursday, Venus, now in your 12th House of Privacy, will be at a perfect angle to Jupiter, your ruler. You’ll find a way to untangle romantic knots before you get caught up in them. Will you take your own advice? The test will be on Saturday, as Venus and Mars square off. Don’t be your own worst enemy when it comes to love. If things get sticky, hold on to your moral high ground.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The week may start out looking bright when it comes to blending your social and romantic life. However, you’ll want to remain cautious by the weekend. On Thursday, Venus and Jupiter will be at a friendly angle, allowing your partner to be generous and gracious in the company of your pals. On Saturday, though, there will be a swift change as Venus squares off with Mars in your 8th House of Shared Resources. A friend might overstep his or her boundaries and meddle in your finances. Your partner will not be pleased.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This week — especially on Tuesday and Wednesday — your emotional focus will certainly be on romance. That’s because the Moon will be in your 5th House of True Love, encouraging you to seek pleasure and joy with someone special. But things may get dicey on Saturday if you’re in a relationship. You’ll want to impress the boss with your work on a project, so you might decide to bring work home for the weekend. Instead of receiving support from your mate, however, you’re more likely to get an attitude.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

On Thursday, you and your lover may decide to book that exotic vacation you’ve been talking about taking together. There will be plenty of romantic energy and wanderlust in the air for you, thanks to the Moon moving through your 5th House from Thursday afternoon through Saturday. In addition, Venus — now in your 9th House of Long Distance Travel — will be at a magnificent trine to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of True Love. Don’t allow a hiccup with your work schedule dampen your mood on Saturday. Make plans — and stick with them!

Current Moon Phase for Sept. 23: Waning GIbbous

Gibbous Moon

(waning /70% illumination)

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. The Disseminting Moon favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 20th

Stop, look and listen! Yesterday’s Full Moon and Mercury-Jupiter square-off may be behind you, but they still carry a psychic punch today. The 48 hours after a Full Moon are a time-period for distribution of the illuminating solar-lunar vibrations just received.  What may put you into a temporary blissful state of mind and heart is a comforting, 60-degree rapport from Venus to Ceres (1:03AM). However, excitement and intensity reign supreme due to the monthly Moon-Uranus union in Aries (5:21AM), Venus forming a flowing trine to Chiron in water signs (5:58AM), and — above all — Pluto leaving retrograde motion behind at 9 degrees of Capricorn as it stations to turn forward (8:30AM). [Pluto will remain in direct motion until April 14, 2014 when it will once again reverse itself in the zodiac at 14 degrees of Capricorn.]  Throughout this entire 24-hour time-period, stay alert to the following Pluto themes — death-and-rebirth; mysteries and secrets; regeneration; metamorphosis; spiritual willpower and mental concentration; catharsis; hypnosis; reincarnation; repressed emotions; extremes of any kind; the underworld; corruption; manipulation and controlling behavior patterns; hidden agendas; phobias.  Adding to the strange twists and turns of fate are Ceres in opposition to synchronicity-ruling Chiron (12:46PM), Venus forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link to shock-master Uranus (1:54PM), and Mercury making an abrasive, 135-degree tie with hazy Neptune (5:08PM). If that isn’t enough cosmic tomfoolery for you, make space for a long void lunar cycle starting at 6:26PM and lasting until 3:34PM tomorrow as well as a 60-degree and yet weighty liaison from Saturn in Scorpio to Pluto in Capricorn (10:46PM).  If you are not careful, this could become one of those days when the unknown is completely running the show and you are a mere pawn on the chessboard of life.  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 18

Here is day two of that preparation for the Full Moon cycle mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry. Healing forces are definitely on the march — courtesy of the monthly lunar union with Chiron in Pisces (1:04AM) followed by their parallel (6:16AM). Don’t be shocked if mind-reading and tuning into a loved one’s deep-seated feelings becomes temporarily more prevalent. The concept of synchronicity is strongly associated with Chiron aspects.  Improving your relationship with a significant other and close friends is definitely on the agenda as Pallas makes a fairly rare polarity to Juno (9:02AM) just 2+ hours before Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Juno (11:47AM). When a 150-degree alignment occurs, consider ways to adjust your thoughts, feelings or attitudes in order to keep your social life peaceful and balanced. One of two, monthly trines from the Moon to Jupiter in water signs (11:17AM) adds a benevolent touch and optimistic slant to the two, Juno-endowed sky patterns.  If dark and stormy clouds appear to be developing on your love and money horizons, it is due to the annual Venus-Saturn conjunction happening this year, as well as next year, in often tension-plagued Scorpio (1:55PM). While most professional astrologers will see a Venus-Saturn union as distressing — with a great potential for delays, fears, frustrations, and blocks — the fine art (Venus) of right timing (Saturn) can help you get through the thunder-and-lightning bolts in order to make peace with dear ones and be sensible about financial matters. Helping you transform the Venus-Saturn rendezvous into something useful is a supportive, 60-degree tie from Venus to Pluto (6:52PM).  Early meditations for tomorrow’s Full Moon, in individual or group format, are welcome additions to the global network of bringing enlightenment to humanity and the kingdoms of nature.  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 Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 17th

We may be confused by our own desires today because they don’t necessarily fit neatly into our current set of circumstances. The Moon drifts into psychic Pisces at 9:57 am EDT, opening our intuitive channels and sensitizing us to other people’s unspoken feelings. It’s tricky to separate our emotions from those we pick up from everyone else. Fortunately, our actions reflect our words as mental Mercury forms a supportive sextile to physical Mars.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It feels as if someone is keeping a secret from you today, yet the more you try to figure it out, the farther away the truth seems to get. Instead of worrying about what you might be missing, concentrate your attention on what you do know and act accordingly. Save your detective work for another day when others are more willing to communicate. Take the high road and see who follows.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your current dilemma requires balancing your personal desires with the needs of others at work. Fortunately, you can rely on your ability to logically analyze the differences and then make decisions based upon what will work best for a larger group. Being selfish now will only create additional problems. There’s no need to panic since you’ll probably get what you want soon enough. In the meantime, show others that you can be a valuable team player by jumping in to help.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may not have the freedom to express your feelings at work today. There could be unexpected consequences if you go ahead and say what’s on your mind, but you might choose to speak your peace anyhow. Although you aren’t responsible for the reactions of anyone else, you still need to get your job done on time. If you want other people’s cooperation, take a deep breath and consider their feelings first.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Making travel plans for the future is tricky business today since you are likely to aspire toward more extravagance than you can actually afford. Unrealistic dreams could come crashing down to earth if you try to cover too much ground or spend too much money. Instead of running into an insurmountable obstacle, it’s smarter now to rein in your vision of an idealistic getaway. Keep it real in order to make it possible.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your need for intimacy might create situations that ultimately make you feel uncomfortable today. It’s not that you want to avoid getting closer to someone you truly admire; it’s just that you don’t like limiting your options. Focus your attention on what you are experiencing in the present moment instead of dreaming about indefinite possibilities that may or may not happen sometime in the future. Be here now.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you logically know what’s best for you, you’re still confused when people tell you what they want today. But listening to someone else doesn’t have to change what you already know about yourself, even if you are more sensitive to the needs of your partner now than to your own desires. Remember, you can be available to others while still taking care of yourself.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s complicated to figure out what is expected of you at work today, but that might not prevent you from trying to do what’s right. Don’t worry about the reactions of your associates, since they probably won’t tell you what they’re really thinking anyhow. Accept the fact that others may hide their true feelings because they don’t want to stir up the waters any more than necessary. You can’t go wrong if you act for the greater good of everyone involved.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A romantic attraction might make you feel a bit unstable today as the Moon slips into your 5th House of Love and Play. It’s natural for your feelings to swing one way and then the other as you play out the possibilities in your mind. It’s okay to acknowledge that you really don’t know what’s best, even if you want to arrive at a final conclusion now. Ease up on the controls for a while and just observe your changing moods. You’re better off postponing a relationship decision for a couple of days and enjoying the ride.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unresolved feelings about a family member may instigate a minor crisis at home today. You might try to ignore the issue by focusing on your work responsibilities, but this will probably just make matters worse. There’s no need to add to the tension with your denial when you can simply discuss your concerns without taking control of the situation. Remember, you don’t need to have all the answers at this time; just showing up is enough to make others happy.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your desire to micromanage your schedule today creates more problems than it solves. Unfortunately, others may not be willing to blindly go along with your plans and there isn’t a lot that you can say or do to change their minds. Ironically, loosening your grip on the reins could actually help you to get what you want faster than you might expect.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A financial decision that has been weighing heavily on your mind might be resolved today in a single instant. You may have a sudden flash of inspiration that enables you to clearly see the solution that you were missing. When you realize that the issue is less about money and more about what you value, the logical choice will become crystal clear. It’s not the bottom line that counts now; it’s the feeling you have at the bottom of your heart.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your emotional inconsistency could be driving someone crazy today, even if you aren’t aware of your erratic behavior. Others might currently see you as irresponsible; however, you think that you know what you want and are willing to follow through with your plan to accomplish your goals. Nevertheless, your feelings are unsettled now that the Moon is back in your sign, and it would be wise to wait until after the Full Moon on Thursday before you make a major commitment. In the meantime, cultivate your dreams and see what develops.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 22nd

Love is serious business this week. Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus to Saturn in Scorpio suggests it’s time to move past any surface-level or lighthearted romantic ideology. The universe wants to know whether or not your love has what it takes to survive the depths of despair together. Staying together is easy when times are good, but the true test of a partnership happens during the bad times. Venus and Saturn together in Scorpio will symbolize a major awakening that revolves around the durability of your romantic bond — even through the darkness. Still, don’t assume that you’ll experience a rough patch with your mate. If you know your love is solid, this week appears to reinforce that. Venus will also be at a perfect sextile to Pluto, assuring that the more open you are to being vulnerable with your partner, the more transcendental your union can truly be.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Fearless communication will be the hallmark of your love life early in the week. On Tuesday, a gorgeous link between Mercury and Mars may prompt you to talk to your lover about sex. Is there a discrepancy between your respective needs in the bedroom? Do you have a fantasy that you’ve always wanted your mate to participate in? If so, this will be the time to speak up. Adding to the strong support of intimate conversation is Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus and Saturn in your 8th House of Shared Resources. Repressing deep sexual needs will only add tension to your relationship. It’s time to open up.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Things between you and your partner will likely come to a head this week. Saturn, the planet of limitation and tests, has been touring your 7th House of Relationships since October 2012. This signals a karmic cycle where any existing partnership may endure tests that help you to decipher how viable your relationship truly is. If you’ve been feeling the tension lately, Wednesday might be a turning point — for better or worse. Venus and Saturn will collide in your 7th House of Relationships. If you’re not feeling appreciated by your mate, you’ll make your feelings known.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you’re single and looking for love, this week will be the perfect time to ask someone out on a first date, or to indulge in some flirty communication! On Tuesday, Mercury, in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure, will be at a perfect sextile to Mars, in your 3rd House of Communication. This is your chance to make a bold statement to someone special and be confident that it’ll get you noticed! Most likely, it’ll be in a positive way, thanks to the added support of the Sun moving into your 5th House of Love and Pleasure by Sunday. Make love happen!

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Whether you’re in a relationship or not, matters of the heart are certain to weigh heavily on your mind this week. If you’re single, it’s possible that you’ll feel that extra pang of loneliness due to Wednesday’s connection of Venus to Saturn in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure. The lesson is not to resign yourself to negative, depressed notions of your love potential. Rather, now is the time for you to make a resolute declaration about what you will and won’t put up with in order to feel loved. If you’re attached, Venus and Saturn will both connect to Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships this week, offering the opportunity to give serious consideration to your commitment. Remember: We accept the love we think we deserve.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

These days, your love life and your family life might not exactly blend perfectly together. If you’re dating someone new and have recently brought your sweetheart to a domestic function, you may have the clear feeling that your lover and your clan aren’t hitting it off. This sticky situation might weigh heavily on you, particularly on Wednesday, as Venus and Saturn connect in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. The best thing you can do now is avoid trying to force the issue. That will only make someone you love feel alienated. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Transformation might stir up your deeper emotional side. Are you willing to really let love in?

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Speaking from the heart might not be as easy as you think, but when it comes to love it’s the only way. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will link up in your 3rd House of Communication, making it clear that whatever you convey about love is anything but superficial. If you’re feeling insecure about communicating your feelings to someone special, ask yourself why this is the case. What are you afraid of? Rejection is always the chance we take when we open our hearts, but if you’re not willing to take the risk, you’ll never experience the joy that love has to offer. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 7th House of Relationships amplifies the sensitive attention you’ll have in a partnership matter.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Ever-concerned about relationships and your place in them, Libra, these days you’re able to effectively communicate what you need in a union. This is a welcome change of pace, because you’re typically so concerned with what the other person requires, often at the cost of yourself. On Tuesday, Mercury in Libra will be at a fine angle to Mars, which gives courageous communication in a social, nonthreatening way. If single, you might reach out to someone new and initiate a conversation on a social media or Internet dating site. You have nothing to lose! In fact, with the Sun entering your sign on Sunday, all eyes will surely be on you.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A significant turning point in your love life is possible this week. You’re certainly not in the mood to play games, and if you suspect that your lover is, well, you’re just not having it. A sober conjunction between Venus and Saturn in Scorpio on Wednesday screams that you want to be taken seriously when it comes to love. You’re not the type who will settle for an arm candy relationship, and these days superficiality is an even greater turn off. On Thursday, a Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance will make it perfectly clear to your lover that if you can’t have it all, you’d rather have nothing.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The pangs of unrequited love may be especially harsh this week. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 12th House of Privacy — which is also associated with isolation and anxiety. With this combination, romantic feelings you have for someone that have clearly been restricted from expression might leave you more wistful than usual. Try not to spend the entire week moping over lost opportunity or regretting words that you may or may not have spoken to this person. Recognize that it’s time to move on. What’s meant to be yours will not pass you by.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Friendship and love are not two mutually exclusive relationships in your book — especially these days. With Venus traveling through your 11th House of Friends and Associations until October 7, you’ll pay careful attention to the level of camaraderie you have with a potential love interest. If there’s one particular friend you’ve had for ages, it’s possible that you’re fraught with romantic feelings for him or her. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 11th House of Friends and Associations and it may be time for you to take a deep breath and reveal your sentiments. Worrying about rejection or that it may change your friendship with this person is pointless now. Be honest with yourself: It already has.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your point of view may change this week, thanks to the influence of your partner. He or she may expose you to a previously unchartered philosophy, religion or other school of thought. If so, you’ll feel extremely stimulated by the newfound awareness. You’ll ask the big questions and will attempt to answer them together. The best part, however, is that you’re not as concerned about the answers as you are about the journey you’ll take that will lead you towards them. Lucky for you, your mate feels the exact same way. Enjoy the mental simpatico.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’ll be extra sensitive this week, thanks to Thursday’s Full Moon in your sign. You’ll be emotionally open, for sure, and extremely sentimental. This will translate into your love life as you’ll feel an even deeper yearning to share unconditional, soul-mate, fairy-tale romance with someone special. In fact, by Sunday, when the Sun enters your 8th House of Intimacy, you’ll be ready to share yourself completely with a lover. Body and soul. That’s the sexual experience you’ll crave. Luckily, now you’ve got every chance to capture it. If, however, you’re with someone who leaves your physical and spiritual cup empty, you might decide to make a change. Above all, be true to yourself.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 17th

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

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, September 14th

Our drive to get ahead motivates us to take on extra responsibilities now that the ambitious Capricorn Moon harmonizes with the efficient Virgo Sun. But inflexibility with regard to our goals triggers arguments as insistent Mercury squares unrelenting Pluto. Meanwhile, a smooth trine from impudent Mars to radical Uranus can free us from our fixed ideas. Holding onto the status quo is useful only to a point; knowing when to let go is crucial.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have trouble containing yourself because you’re so eager for action. Macho Mars combines forces with shocking Uranus today, zapping you with lightning bolts of awareness and jolting your system awake. Thankfully, you’re also connected to your inner spirituality in a profound way now, so your passionate nature can be very inspiring to others. Concentrate on projecting the positive potential without trying to prove that your way is the only path to success.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Everything seems to make sense in your fantasies today as long as you don’t try to explain them to someone else. The earthy Capricorn Moon soothes your emotions and prompts you to pick a conservative path to achieving your goals. However, a friend may encourage you to break a rule or a family member might inspire you to take an even greater risk. Obviously you respect the opinions of those you love, but it’s wiser to accept the challenge of being independent in your thoughts and actions now. Only your heart knows what’s best for you.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current interests may be part of a grand scheme today; nevertheless, you could run into a tough opponent if you are overly controlling in your approach to working with others. Don’t waste your limited time and energy trying to convince someone to support your plan. Instead, channel all your mind’s power into your most immediate goal and don’t stop until you’ve made real progress. Knowing what to do is easier when you have your priorities in order.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may be dreaming about doing something outrageous that scares you as much as it excites you. Although risk-taking could provoke anxiety, you should be able to get away with unorthodox behavior since you’re receiving cosmic assistance from the radically expressive Mars-Uranus trine. However, you still must come out and tell others what you want. You’re more likely to get what you need if you initiate bold action rather than just waiting for lightning to strike.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to be acknowledged at work today and you’re ready to take additional risks to be noticed. Paradoxically, you may feel more secure in your position now, even if you’re already living close to the edge. Although you may be confident about your current direction, pressuring others with your ideas could cause your plan to backfire. Explain your strategy, but then wait to see how everyone reacts before taking your next step. The feedback you receive could make all the difference in the world.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to keep your fears quiet now, even if you’re worried that giving them voice will just make you more vulnerable. Thankfully, there is nothing wrong with admitting to feeling scared. After a while, your apprehension may begin to disperse without encountering the problem that you previously thought was inevitable. Sharing your concerns with a trustworthy friend should calm your nerves. Sometimes a supportive shoulder is all you need.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You prefer to be busy today, yet you also might grow weary of jumping through one hoop after another. If you don’t burn up all of your energy in the morning, you will still have some creative juice left over for later in the day. Instead of panicking because you think that time is running out, slow down, engage reality and take control of your day. You are the master of your own destiny.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You feel a thrill when flirting with the edge today, whether bungee jumping, ending a relationship or moving to a new location. It’s impossible to ignore your impulses as your ruling planet Mars urges you to try something you’ve never done before. Unfortunately, once you step beyond the proverbial point of no return, you may not be able to change your mind. Find ways to shake things up without necessarily turning your entire life upside down.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s easy to rationalize what you are doing now, as long as it’s part of a familiar pattern. The Moon is visiting your 6th House of Daily Routine today, reflecting light on all of your habits. Nevertheless, you have important choices to make that can be based totally on intuition and inner guidance. Don’t engage in endless analysis and conversations that go nowhere. Pay attention to the sensations in your gut and do what feels best.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your friends may encourage you to step back from your responsibilities today and do something that is quite out of character. But the point is not to avoid your current obligations; a happy medium can be found by being adaptable enough to pursue unscheduled fun along the way. You can always finish your chores later in the evening or even first thing tomorrow morning if necessary. Taking time for a bit of enjoyment might be exactly what you need to recharge your batteries.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have a number of projects you want to complete this weekend before you return to work. But your day isn’t likely to play out the same way as the one you envisioned. There are just too many unknown variables still up in the air and you must go along with the uncertainty or you’ll have a rough time getting along with others. Remaining open to any last minute changes can turn a frustrating day into one filled with excitement and love.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might believe you already know what others want before they even ask for it. Nevertheless, it’s wise to wait until someone articulates his or her needs today, instead of jumping to a faulty conclusion. It’s disheartening if an ally says no to your great ideas, even if it’s apparent to you that he or she lacks vision. Nevertheless, fretting about the situation is simply a waste of your time. Let the energy sit and see how everyone feels next week. You know your heart is in the right place.

Weekend Love Horoscopes

September 13-15: Fairy Tales and White Noise

Maria DeSimone    Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

This weekend’s realistic Moon in Capricorn on Friday and Saturday might lend more sobriety to romance than usual. The one saving grace, however, will be a gorgeous trine between Venus and Neptune on Saturday.  When the planet of love connects to the planet of inspiration, no amount of Capricorn weight will take away our faith in love.

In fact, the Moon will connect beautifully to both of these planets early on Friday, fortifying our belief that despite any hardships, the positive potential of love will prevail.

On Sunday, the Moon zips into quirky Aquarius and there will be strong potential for sudden communication from a partner. Mercury is now in relationship-oriented Libra and it will square Pluto on Saturday, but it will also move to oppose Uranus (the ruler of this Aquarian Moon) by late Sunday night. This sets up a difficult pattern in which it might be hard to listen to your mate. All you seem to hear is noise. Erratic decisions about a relationship are possible.

* Your Weekend Love Horoscope is now written by counseling Astrologer Maria DeSimone, who knows love, dating and relationships better than anyone. Maria tracks the planets so you can make the right romantic moves every weekend!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 12th

In the early going, you can rest on your laurels following yesterday’s grand trine in fire signs — composed of the Moon in Sagittarius, Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries. Revelations abound and ingenious ideas can appear in your mind’s-eye like fiery comets dashing through the evening sky.  However, if you need to run important errands and take care of key business matters, then consider accomplishing these tasks well before the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in at 10:09AM (activating 21 degrees of Virgo and Sagittarius). Quarter moon cycles like this one emphasize the need to cut through apparent obstacles on physical-emotional levels while you manage your professional affairs with greater finesse. Nevertheless, this solar-lunar face-off of 90-degrees also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 2:57AM tomorrow.  Once the void-of-course Moon takes over, pushing the envelope in any direction is fruitless. Relax, smell the roses, appreciate life’s little blessings, and sip your favorite beverage to chase away the blues or a recent build-up of stress.  Expect the unexpected around the time that the Sun parallels Uranus (4:50PM). Breakthroughs in higher consciousness can occur when the Sun makes this highly illuminating alignment. Healing forces rise to the occasion when Mercury parallels Chiron (10:06PM). Think more like a mentor or shaman — being a conduit for heavenly wisdom to become earthly knowledge in service to humanity.  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 Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 11th

Maintaining a steady rhythm is a challenge today because we are in the midst of an energetic shift. We don’t feel so carefree now, even though the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 2:35 am EDT. We can act out our aggression and then compensate by retreating just a few moments later because assertive Mars anxiously aligns with uncompromising Pluto. The heat is cranked up another notch as pleasure-seeking Venus tangos into passionate Scorpio.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re eager to apply what you recently learned to a complex situation at work, but you might not realize the consequences of your current actions. There are dynamic changes on your horizon now that sweet Venus has taken up residence in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. It’s time to ask yourself what you want from others while you can still see the potential of what’s ahead. Keep in mind that everything feels very intense today, so move forward slowly with kindness and compassion.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Collaborating with others continues to be your main focus when your key planet Venus enters your 7th House of Partners today. Thankfully, now you can see beyond the doubts that have previously limited your actions. But instead of wondering how you will complete everything on your plate, think about what motivates the people in your life. Ask questions and actively listen to what is said because you could learn something valuable about yourself as you discover more about someone else’s experiences.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Strangely enough, you may not be able to tell if your life is growing simpler or more complex. Your goal was to create a schedule that allows you enough time for yourself, but now everything seems to be changing again. Go ahead and grab an opportunity to play while you still can, for your work might not afford you so much free time during the next few weeks. If it appears like others are having more fun than you, don’t complain; temporarily set aside your current concerns and join the party.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You want to be enthusiastic about your job today, although you may have to work on recapturing your earlier vision. You might start your day feeling resentful toward someone who won’t cooperate with you. But there’s no reason to hold onto negative feelings. As others grow more supportive in return, make a choice to graciously accept what they offer while still pushing your agenda forward.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Resolving an interpersonal conflict in the morning gives you the maximum amount of time to make the most of the rest of your day. Someone at work might bring you an opportunity that looks promising, but you would be wise to do your due diligence before just saying yes. Ultimately, your new direction may turn out great, but you could easily mislead yourself if you don’t check out the facts thoroughly. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your current sense of nostalgia might lure you back into your past, but, paradoxically, this sentimentality can put you in touch with someone who shares your search for meaning. Fortunately, your memories also activate feelings in the present moment. However, don’t fall into the trap of believing that a current situation is the same as a past one. Ultimately, your future success comes from looking forward, not backward.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today may seem busier than recent days, partly because you are enthusiastic about getting a lot done. The cheery Sagittarius Moon wires your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, but you could end up spinning your wheels throughout the day and still not have anything tangible to show for your efforts. Avoid the temptation to scatter your energy. Slowing down and checking one thing off your list at a time leads to higher productivity and more satisfying results.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re on the threshold of an exciting opportunity and may be entranced by sweet Venus’ entry into your powerful sign, provoking both desire and fear. You’re aware of the changes in the air and understand that you can’t rely on your old ways of doing things. It’s time to let unfulfilled dreams fade away so you can create new ones that are more relevant and realistic. Ultimately, you’ll feel better once you step away from the past and move into the future.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may have recently experienced a challenging emotional situation when you had to relinquish control for a while. Now, with the evocative Moon back in your sign, you are reawakening to your own desires. You’re motivated to go out and get whatever you want. However, your enthusiasm could be too much if you ride roughshod over someone’s feelings. Remember to balance your goals with the needs of others. You are not alone; your happiness is intertwined with the well-being of the people you love.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you are reconsidering your long-term trajectory, it may be time to think about setting new goals and aiming your life in an entirely different direction. Whether or not you actually make any changes now, put away your fantasies and consider only what’s real. However, this is not about giving up on your dreams; it’s more about putting them in proper perspective. Letting go of old expectations frees you to create a more relevant strategy. Once you have a plan in place, you might be pleasantly surprised with the speed of change.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It may feel like a split-personality day, yet holding both perspectives can test your metal. You have a lot to gain by stepping into your power and entertaining visions of the future now that the expansive Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 11th House of Future Dreams. However, you must also be practical when considering what to do because valuable Venus enters your career-minded 10th House today. Personal satisfaction comes from balancing possibilities with practicalities.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Wake up and snap out of your dreams, especially if you’ve been lost in fantasies about exotic adventures and far-off lands. There’s nothing wrong with letting your thoughts wander, but the Moon’s shift into your 10th House of Public Responsibility reflects the work you have to do now. You can’t afford the luxury of drifting in the impractical realms of your imagination today. However, don’t lose touch with your hopes; just express them in the real world, for this is where your vision must ultimately manifest.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 10th

Yesterday’s struggles with authority figures continue today as we seek ways to change our tactics without compromising our integrity. The fixed Scorpio Moon won’t let us acquiesce, but we may encounter complicated interpersonal dynamics as the Moon forms stressful aspects with intense Pluto and disruptive Uranus. It might feel as if the time to find true love is running out because romantic Venus leaves relationship-oriented Libra tomorrow.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Finding a perfect balance between being your own person and being what others want can be a real challenge. Although your diplomatic skills may be well honed, turning on the charm today isn’t quite as effective as you wish. Your romantic inclinations are also running on the hot side and if you don’t cool yourself down, you might stir up some uneasy feelings on the way to obtaining what your heart desires. Channel your passion into a creative pursuit, instead.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you might take a cautious approach to relationships now, your concerns won’t be sufficient to prevent your inner radiance from shining. You often warm to others slowly, but after you befriend someone your loyalty is legendary. However, you’re ready to jump into the fray and make a new friend today without going through your regular song and dance. Just express yourself naturally and you’ll surely find a groove that works.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re feeling extra lucky today, but others don’t seem to take notice — even if you bend the rules a bit to tilt the odds in your favor. If anyone looks closely enough, they might better appreciate that your success stems from your extra effort, not just happenstance. Don’t get too cocky, for circumstances can change quickly when you become overly pleased with your own cleverness. Remember that humility is more appealing than hubris.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might be very pleased with the richness of your life today, yet you may feel vulnerable because of strong emotional undercurrents which are out of your control. Others won’t likely notice what you are hiding because you’re very skilled at playing the shell game. However, clamming up is not your best strategy now. Sharing your fears with a loved one can keep your thoughts from stagnating as the waters continue to swirl around you.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It may appear to others that you are dissatisfied with your current situation. It’s true; you could be a bit irritable today, but it’s probably not because of anything specific that’s occurring in your life. In fact, you might actually like what’s happening now, even if you’re having a hard time keeping your feelings in line. You get edgy when your emotions and your actions are not in harmony with each other. Don’t make any sudden changes; simply being more aware of your internal conflict will help it resolve over time.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Even if you’re in touch with both your positive and negative feelings today, others may see you as mostly personable and easygoing. Your charm is flowing easily now, rather than the contracted fear you might experience when you’re confused. Your natural tendency is to move into the practical realms to gain control, but you are better off just mentally wandering for a while until your mind plays through all the possibilities.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are so busy these days that you’re motivated to seek ways to bring your life into a healthier balance. However, the current danger is that you can gloss over awkward details in your rush to get everything done. There are mixed signals coming your way, yet you still may strive to be sweet, even if your feelings are more intense. Don’t spend too much time attempting to hide the darker feelings. Others will appreciate your honesty more than you think.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is a wonderful potential to indulge your senses today, even if fantasy plays a strong part in a pleasurable experience. You may feel like you’re on top of the world, getting a chance to express your passionate side without experiencing the negativity that sometimes follows. The only price you might pay for feeling safe is the regret over a desire not expressed. Don’t miss this opportunity to open your heart and widen your horizons.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your dreams have an excellent chance to manifest now if you incorporate the widest spectrum of life into your overall perspective. Although you are often ready to consider new possibilities when planning your future, you might be pleasantly surprised with the amazing experiences you can have now if you keep your options open. Take a risk and expand your mind to include what you previously excluded. You’ll be richer in spirit for your efforts.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are feeling somewhat constrained today, but working within a solid framework gives you a comforting sense of security. Rules are welcome news from the cosmos, since you like it when your structures are strong enough that you can build upon them. Don’t hold back; you have powerful tools at your disposal now. Fortunately, using your energy for the good of all is also beneficial to you in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The pace of your life is settling down enough for you to temporarily take charge of your career. You have been riding the tides of change, but now the stress created by the incoming waves is clearing the way for new and better goals. Keep your eyes on the future, even if your nerves are rattling with uncertainty. Ironically, practicing patience helps you reach your desired destination in record time.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s easy to grow discouraged today if everything doesn’t go your way. You might even blame your frustration on something that happened yesterday. Fortunately, you could receive an energetic boost out of the blue that sets you off in a new direction. However, resisting change leads to stagnation. Don’t hold on to previous expectations. Your chances for success are enhanced if you gracefully roll with the incoming waves and adapt to the shifting currents.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Expect your week to start out with a thud in matters of the heart. On Monday, Mars (now in Leo) will clash with Saturn, creating an energetic stalemate. You might lose your sex drive or find that your mojo is temporarily challenged. Thankfully, all will be well by Wednesday and Thursday, when the Moon will be in your 5th House of Romance.

You might need to take time alone in order to reflect on your feelings for someone until October 7, or to think about a current romantic entanglement. You might also find that you’re pining away for someone you know you can never truly be with. Unrequited love — past or present — might leave you raw and vulnerable. It’s ok to fantasize about a potential lover, but don’t allow yourself to drown in a sea of unrealistic expectations.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The business side of love will dominate your week. Although this may sound unromantic, if you’re in a committed partnership the two of you might actually make significant advancement in the daily grind of your life together. Expect a roadblock to action on Monday as Mars in your 7th House of Relationships squares off with stabilizing Saturn. Facing the limitations and obligations inherent in your relationship with courage will be necessary. Once you do this, however, great strides are possible.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your love life may become an international affair starting this Wednesday. If single, it’s possible that you’ll fall for someone who is from a different race, religion or culture than you. The differences will be what attract the two of you to each other, and you’ll adore experiencing a whole new world through your lover’s eyes. If you are attached, it’s possible that between Saturday and October 7 you and your sweetheart will take an exotic vacation together. Make it count!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 10th

Easy does it. Yesterday’s Mars-Saturn clash of the titans has not disappeared entirely and a new threat to peace and serenity is on the horizon as Mars is approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with secretive Pluto. Plus, what seems like a supportive, 60-degree contact between the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Virgo (2:22AM) is somewhat illusory because this aspect begins a 21+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone until 11:37PM.  Strive to mellow out completely while the Moon is in strange territory. Avoid emotional and mental fatigue as Venus squares off with Pallas (4:06PM). Hold off on questionable business decisions with Venus parallel to Saturn (5:17PM). The big chill can influence unstable romantic relationships.  Just before the Moon ends its void-of-course cycle by entering fiery Sagittarius (11:37PM), Venus leaves the friendly sign of Libra for potentially adversarial Scorpio (11:17PM) — a cycle that lasts until October 7. The universe is still rocking and rolling four minutes after the lunar entry into Sagittarius as Mars in Leo forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pluto (11:41PM). Projecting angry feelings on unsuspecting loved ones is a no-no. Egocentric, self-serving attitudes bite the dust. Be a Rock of Gibraltar for the truly needy.  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 Horoscopes for Sunday, September 8

Equilibrium is elusive today as sudden blasts of information from beyond our outer limits zap us. Unfortunately, even the fair-minded Libra Moon fails to give us perspective as a parade of complex alignments distracts us from our positive approach. Tense aspects from communicator Mercury require us to process internal conflicts between head and heart. The Moon’s shift into pointed Scorpio at 9:44 pm EDT forces us to make up our minds.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Breaking free from the restraints that hold you back is complicated if you keep running into more obstacles. It could feel like a losing battle, because each problem you solve today quickly turns into two more. The harder you push to tie up the loose ends, the more things seem to tangle up. Fortunately, it’s not nearly as hopeless as it might appear at first. Back off a bit and don’t try so hard; some of the resistance may be of your own creation.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

There is a strong emphasis on your work today, but an unaddressed emotional issue might prevent you from accomplishing your goals. You are bumping up against an awkward energy that isn’t easy to engage because it’s not aimed directly at you. Nevertheless, don’t participate in petty disagreements, because they won’t improve your current situation. Fly under the radar now and do what you must, without attracting too much attention to yourself. Your low-key approach won’t go unappreciated by those who matter.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your life may be noisy today as tensions become obvious and there seems to be no way around an unpleasant situation. But, of course there is a viable path, especially because circumstances continue to change throughout the day. You still might be sorting out your feelings by the evening, but the problem itself could very well be in the past. Your discomfort will pass if you let your emotions run their course without interference from your analytical mind.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be on a slow-motion collision course today with a lover, partner or friend. Although you might attempt to avoid a confrontation, it’s healthier to face the music and just get it over with. There could be very real disagreements over fundamental issues, and the more you talk about them, the more complicated they become. Nevertheless, stick with it. It’s always darkest right before the dawn; a breakthrough can happen when you least expect it.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You want to share your crazy plans now that trickster Mercury is playing a major role in the picture. However, the mental agitation is annoying, preventing you from enjoying an exchange that might normally be quite pleasant. Although you’re yearning to break free from your routine, the pressure of responsibility will likely restrain you for a while. You must follow through on your previous commitments. Don’t worry; you will get your chance for change soon enough.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A fantastic idea may become problematic as you bog down in the execution, especially if it involves home or family issues. If you don’t think through the consequences of an off-the-cuff remark, you might need to deal with the aftermath sooner than you think. Although this is not ultimately a difficult day, you still probably have to work harder than usual just to keep things moving in a healthy direction. Remember, your positive attitude makes all the difference in the world.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re in your power now and you might even be surprised by the current intensity, but you are equipped to handle nearly any brewing storm. The next few days may seem like the kind of exam that you can’t study for; nevertheless, paying attention to the signs can tilt the scales in your favor. Don’t try to hold on to the status quo. Let the uncertainties lead you through the transformation ahead without dwelling on any irrational fears. Follow your intuition with confidence and everything will be alright.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sometimes you sound like you know everything because you often do understand more than others. However, it’s most helpful to admit what you don’t know before you find yourself in over your head. There may be many loose ends to tie up, so it could be useful to have assistance. Don’t pretend that you have it all together now unless you actually do. You have less to prove than you might think and more to gain if you’re willing to ask for help.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It seems as if you already did all the steps possible to further your career; unfortunately, something still isn’t quite right. Perhaps you overlooked a tiny detail that grows bigger as the day progresses. Maybe someone throws a wrench into the gears of time and you’re not prepared for what happens next. You’re able to take it all in stride if you have done your homework. But, if you haven’t prepared wisely, your plan can fall apart and you will need to make it right before moving on.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be judged for what you say or what you write, even if your ideas are sound. Your concepts could even be brilliant now, but as you act on your thoughts, something may not work as imagined. Revise your thinking based upon your experience. If you assume you know it all, you don’t. However, you have what it takes if you are open to change — and others can’t help but notice your positive attitude.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone at work may give you a hard time today, but having an external reason to practice self-discipline is exactly what you need at this time. However, the resistance you face could be troublesome if you are the methodical type; a disturbed routine might make you less efficient for a while. But once you adapt to your new pace, you will feel re-energized and more enthusiastic about your future.

Fall Love Horoscopes 2013

Fall Love Horoscopes 2013

As the temperature drops, your love life could heat up…

Maria DeSimone  Maria DeSimone on the topics of mars, venus, horoscopes, love, fall equinox

Now that it’s Autumn, 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 Gemini’s 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.

Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 3rd

An amazing idea inspires us to say what’s on our minds now that the Moon is moving through demonstrative Leo. Although we are feeling courageous, acting too boldly could lead to trouble as the brilliant Sun forms an unruly aspect with rebellious Uranus. It’s wise to think twice before we overreact, but softening our approach isn’t sufficient because there’s still room for misinterpretation. Nevertheless, a bit of common sense goes a long way.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Watch your step today, instead of behaving recklessly. Your good intentions could backfire if you respond so quickly that you do something that offends a coworker or acquaintance. Save your sarcastic repartee and practical jokes for another day when the tensions aren’t so tightly wired. Your rapid-fire reactions have the potential of acting like a lit match on a pile of dried hay. Avoid a difficult situation by taking a deep breath and thinking about the possible consequences before doing anything drastic.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your friends might be worried that you will lose your temper today, but you have more than enough self-control to maintain your cool. It’s not a good idea to become unhinged because reacting spontaneously isn’t as effective now as sticking to your original plan. Nevertheless, there’s no need to slip into denial about your feelings. Simply add a little time between the flash of awareness and when you actually jump in and do something about it. Look before you leap.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Share your ideas with your colleagues today, but don’t take your disclosures too far. You might be tempted to put everything out on the table and then push for a positive response, but it’s smarter to unveil your new plan slowly. Revealing too much information too fast overwhelms others and may cause them to withhold support. It’s to your advantage to build up interest gradually, even if you must delay the big show until after Thursday’s New Moon. In the meantime, fine tune your presentation for the greatest impact.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You must be very careful on the job today because you might inadvertently stir up resistance to your plans. You’re traveling through some tricky territory and could feel the pressure to relieve your anxiety by setting everything right in one clean swoop. However, overreacting won’t solve anything now. Adopting a positive attitude will ultimately help you accomplish more work than a panicky one; keep calm by breathing through the stress.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s challenging to get anything done today because you might enjoy the attention you receive too much. It’s hard to step out of the spotlight now that irrepressible Mars and the responsive Moon are moving through your dramatic sign. Others can’t help but notice when you swing into motion. Remember, it really doesn’t matter if you are seen or not, so don’t purposefully seek recognition if you really want to finish all your work. Make the most of your current influence to shine your light on something that really matters.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your analytical approach works well for you these days with the Sun and Mercury visiting your intelligent sign. However, a stressful aspect to unpredictable Uranus generates mental static now, making it impossible to think clearly. Unfortunately, you might not be able to delay an important decision today; just make sure that you separate your personal preferences from the facts so you can remain as objective as possible. Trust your innate ability to cut through the noise and solve the problem at hand.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t always enjoy being the one that everyone relies on to arbitrate a dispute. In fact, you might want to relinquish some of your relationship responsibilities today if you don’t feel up to the job. However, it may take a while for your wish to be granted. Even if you are frustrated and tempted to walk away from something important now, don’t do it yet. Let the dynamics unfold naturally because a surprising change of circumstances later in the day could dramatically shift your thinking in an exciting new direction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Talking about your feelings today might not bring the exact results you seek. People may be open to hearing your story, but that doesn’t mean they will agree with your conclusions or join in your cause. It’s probably not the most opportune time to gather support for your plan because you don’t know how others will react. Let go of your personal agenda for now and return to it after Thursday’s New Moon when your chances of success improve. In the meantime, continue developing your best ideas because one of them could lead to a significant breakthrough.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Anticipation about a new project may drive you to the edge of a cliff today, but there’s little chance of slipping and falling as long as you watch the ground directly in front of you. However, your excitement might be sufficient to distract you, and danger could sneak in if the adrenaline rush is too strong. Don’t become so enamored with the potential adventure that your judgment becomes sloppy. You won’t likely make any tactical errors if you pay careful attention to every step you take.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your relationships may seem quite intense today, requiring you to become more emotionally involved than you prefer. You don’t want someone else’s needs to get in the way of your plans now, yet it’s complicated to extricate yourself from the melodrama that appears at your doorstep. Consider if your intended retreat is based on practical matters or if you simply want to avoid your own discomfort with the situation. Don’t withdraw from intimacy because you are scared; show your courage by facing your fears instead.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you’re feeling a bit off center today, you might respond inappropriately to a friend or partner unless you take the time to think first. The Sun zaps your key planet Uranus, overloading you with so many ingenious ideas that they may not be of any use in the real world. Nevertheless, brilliant thoughts can open your mind to new horizons. Your smartest strategy is to sit with your altered perspective for a bit instead of reacting so quickly that you turn your world upside down. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re acutely tuned into your psychic powers now and may even believe that you know exactly what to do at every unexpected twist in the road. Overall, your instincts should serve you well today. However, you could miss an important fact if you become overconfident, only to discover later that you’re heading down a dead-end street. Fortunately, it’s simple to restore balance by adding a bit of common sense to your intuitive approach. However, it never hurts to bring a map along just in case.
