Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 30th

Stay on course with supporting loved ones who may be under duress as Pallas opposes Juno (2:16AM). Any talent you have for resolving problems could be useful around this time-period and for several hours afterwards. The two lights — the Sun and Moon — agree to provide supportive illumination for your key tasks and projects via their constructive sextile of 60-degrees (6:24AM). Bold ideas can inundate your consciousness since the Moon makes a 60-degree rapport with Uranus (10:59AM) followed by an energizing although possibly unsettling 45-degree tie between Mercury and Uranus (1:58PM). Eccentricity and outside-the-box thinking are in; following all rules to the letter of the law is out. The Moon continues in its adventurous romp through fiery, extroverted Sagittarius.

Innovation is off charts with the New Moon in unconventional Aquarius on January 30, 2014. This Sun-Moon conjunction in this super smart sign is excellent for expanding perception and triggering bright ideas. Idealism and a stronger sense of community can also emerge in the days that follow. Aquarius’ ingenious ruling planet, Uranus, favorably aligns with this lunation as well, making our mental laboratories more productive.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Discovering ways to become a more effective member of a team is a potential gift of this intellectually energizing New Moon. It lands in your 11th House of Groups, where you can get a fresh start within an organization or find a place of inspiration supporting a cause. Idealism is strong in Aquarius, which can help you recognize ways to meet your own needs while being an even more valuable friend or colleague.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Get ready for some radically new experiences in your professional life. This brainy and innovative Aquarius New Moon lands in your 10th House of Career and Public Responsibility to spark a fresh start that challenges your usual ways of doing business. Be as open-minded and flexible as you can, because old rules and systems may start breaking down. Innovation and risk-taking should put you in a more exciting work situation.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Travel and mind expansion are on the agenda with this brilliant Aquarius New Moon in your 9th House of Faraway Places and Higher Education. Your busy brain may suddenly turn in a different direction as you’re stimulated by a radically new idea. Sharing your discoveries, going back to school, or doing business with people in distant places are ways to put more excitement and meaning into your life.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

This quirky Aquarius New Moon lands in your 8th House of Deep Sharing, where it can have a significant influence on your personal and professional relationships. A lunation in your 8th house, associated with emotional intimacy and financial alliances, is about making choices in partnerships. Either you come up with a fresh approach that enriches connections, or fight change and settle for less.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Fresh connections can enliven your personal life with this exciting New Moon in your 7th House of Partners. Sure, you may attract unusual individuals who don’t always follow the standard rules of love and business. But it’s also an opportunity for you to enliven current alliances with original thinking, or to take some chances by sharing brilliant insights that impress others with your original thinking.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Surprises could shake up your daily routine with this rebellious Aquarius New Moon in your 6th House of Employment and Habits. Although adapting to unexpected circumstances is logical, it’s even better if you take the initiative to make changes. Going into a different profession, getting additional training, and altering the ways that you deal with diet, exercise, and health will work to your advantage.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Creativity and romance get significant shots of adrenalin from this electrifying New Moon in your 5th House of Self-Expression. Let your playful side show as this lunation is a signal to come up with fresh ways to get attention and to have fun. Experimenting with different approaches and looks will put more pleasure into your personal life and make your professional presentations entertaining and inspiring to others.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

This liberating Aquarius New Moon occurs in your 4th House of Roots to provide you with a fresh perspective on your past. Old issues, especially from your family, can be seen with distance and objectivity that allow you to let go of emotional issues that have been holding you back. You’re becoming free of unconscious conditioning, making this an excellent time to break habits and try different ways feel safe.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Ideas are firing up with greater frequency thanks to this inventive Aquarius New Moon. It lands in your 3rd House of Information and Communication, cooking up fresh concepts and connections. Learning, teaching and meeting people should be more stimulating than usual. Just remember to ground what you say in a way that others can understand, because your enthusiasm may overwhelm others with more input than they can handle.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

This inventive Aquarius New Moon occurs in your 2nd House of Resources, providing you with inspiration for making money and getting the most out of your assets. But instead of trying to squeeze more from your current abilities, this lunation signals the need to invest in developing different kinds of skills. Consistency is usually rewarding, but being innovative will lead to even more profitable ways to work now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Are you ready for a fresh start? This exciting New Moon in your sign can light the fuse of change that you’ve been waiting for. Your innovative ruling planet Uranus makes a harmonious angle to this Sun-Moon conjunction in your sign, firing you up with originality. Trying a different look or coming up with a radically new approach to connecting with people are excellent ways to utilize this energy.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

This ingenious Aquarius New Moon occurs in your 12th House of Spirituality to spur awareness of your connections with nature and divinity. Taking more time to be alone provides the peace and quiet needed to tap into the higher knowledge coming to you now. Don’t worry if it’s harder to get others’ attention, because the greatest rewards are more likely to come when you are less concerned with how others see you.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, January 27th

One of today’s best alignments clocks in early when Juno in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer (1:48AM). Take advantage of a lull in the battle between the sexes and since partners are on their best behavior. Showering a dear one with affection is a winner. Nevertheless, the investment scene is somewhat murky at best due to a frictional, 45-degree link from Pallas to Vesta (9:54AM). Plus, the monthly Moon-Pluto union (4:36PM) should be watched in order that you tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration without egocentrically hurting a loved one’s feelings. Another challenging time-period arises later on when the monthly Moon-Venus conjunction (6:58PM) fosters a sense of love, joy and friendship, but only five minutes later, Mercury moving 45-degrees to Pluto (7:07PM) can act like a temporary, mind-numbing wrecking ball. Stay alert to the persevering presence of earthy Capricorn Moon all day. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard 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 Monday, January 27th

We are inspired to put our best foot forward today and live our lives to the fullest potential. Normally, we become more upbeat when the Moon visits adventurous Sagittarius. We might even try to sidestep uncomfortable details in favor of considering the overall picture. Fortunately, the Moon’s cooperative sextiles to superhero Mars and messenger Mercury help us to follow through on the conversations we start, even if we run into disagreements.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

On the surface it seems as if everything is coming up roses today, but there is more going on than is apparent. It’s great that you have so much happening within the realms of your imagination now. Your dreams are motivational, as long as you continue to clearly distinguish between reality and fantasy. Others see you as competent and they believe your actions are straightforward, but you may be more uncertain than anyone realizes. Acknowledge your true feelings, but don’t let them impede your progress.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although there may be a lot to finish at work today, you are determined to deliver on your promises. Push as hard as you can early in the day, since you might grow weary earlier than you expect. Fortunately, you’re capable of handling everything that’s thrown at you now, even if you inadvertently get involved in more than you should. But remember to take some time off once you complete your tasks; being extra nice to yourself this evening is a just reward for a job well done.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

An angel may fly to your rescue today, whether you need the assistance or not. But in any case, accepting help is wise because it can deepen the bond of friendship. Don’t worry if another person’s involvement slightly reduces your efficiency. Ultimately, it’s not about increasing your production now; it’s about improving your relationships. Learning to graciously receive is a gift in itself.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Performing your job well feels exceptionally satisfying today. You don’t even need acknowledgment from others; the fruit of your labor is reward enough for you now. Nevertheless, fulfillment may be elusive if you think that you should be pursuing a different line of work. Fortunately, opportunities are lurking right in front of your nose, and if you are clever enough you could turn one of them into a new direction in your current career.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you could sail through the day with a smile on your face, it’s more productive to channel your positive attitude into a creative endeavor. Either way, it’s an uplifting time, but you might as well have something to show off when all is said and done. However, don’t isolate yourself from everyone else; collaborating with others now can open doors to a colorful new world.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can’t approach your work in the same manner as you did last week because something has changed and the old methods are not as effective anymore. Thankfully, you could become inspired and invent an entirely new and original way of doing your job. Don’t worry if your idea is the best one or not. For now, just trying something different may be enough to break the ice and stir the energy in a positive direction.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might experience an exciting burst of energy today, but you have to take a risk in order to make the most of it. It’s crucial to keep yourself motivated, for if you become lazy, you could miss a significant opportunity. Forget about taking the tried and true path to success now. Carpediem; if you want to accomplish anything extraordinary, you must set your comfort aside, step out of the box and do something you’ve never done before.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This could be a much better day than you anticipate as something especially nice comes your way. Of course, any unexpected pleasant experience would be welcome, but finding a bargain, receiving a cash windfall or making a new friend positively impacts your life. However, you must be in a receptive frame of mind now or the good news might pass you by unnoticed. Adopting a grateful attitude invites more blessings into your world.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your life is overflowing with an array of wonderful possibilities now. However, your excitement won’t automatically manifest tangible results unless you set the stage for their expression by establishing goals and working hard to achieve them. Your acts of generosity will be returned, but probably not quite as you expect. Demonstrate your strength of character by being open to change.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You woke up with a happy song in your head today, but oddly enough it’s challenging to put your finger on the source of your optimism. It’s as if you know something awesome is going to happen, but you don’t know what it is or why you are so sure of it. Don’t waste a lot of time trying to deconstruct your instincts now; instead, just act as if your hunch is correct and keep singing. Your faith may be enough to alter your future in a positive manner.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your social calendar might light up today, since the Moon is now visiting your 11th House of Friends and Community. Although the Moon’s journey doesn’t actually increase your popularity, you don’t have to try so hard to be included in every fun activity. You could exude more charisma than you realize now and your assertive style might even seem aggressive unless you consciously tone down your approach. Enjoy the camaraderie but be sure to share the spotlight to keep everyone happy.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your outward behavior doesn’t tell the whole story now, since your actions seem to be all about your career. Nevertheless, the winds of fate are blowing in unusual directions and they can carry you toward an unexpected destination. Fortunately, the outcome is likely to be better than you think, so don’t bother to resist the shifting currents. Keep your spirits up even if you’re heading into unknown territory; your thoughts are creating your tomorrow before it arrives.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 27th

This is the week you’ve been waiting for! Not only will we have an electrifying New Moon in Aquarius, but Venus — the planet that rules love — will finally turn direct after having been retrograde since December 21. Are you celebrating yet? Jumping for joy? Jumping all over your lover? Well, get to it … love is waiting for you. This week’s New Moon can bring love in the most unexpected, surprising way. Even better, you get the gift of fully loving every quirky thing about yourself that makes you unique.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A gorgeous New Moon on Thursday will light up your social networking sector, sending a beam of exhilarating love potential your way. Consider signing up on a new Internet dating website (wait until after Venus turns direct on January 31). You might also decide to ask out that friend of yours you’ve been crushing on for ages. Or, you might accept a friend’s invitation to set you up on a date with someone he or she thinks is perfect for you. Say yes, and expect the unexpected.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Congratulations! You’re on your way to feeling beautiful and seductively delicious once more, thanks to your ruler, Venus, turning direct this Friday after having been retrograde since December 21. You may have felt as though the universe pressed the “pause” button on you when it came to financial matters and matters of the heart. Hopefully you viewed this phase as an opportunity to become more realistic about what you want and deserve and how to best utilize your talents. Now, you’ll be ready to use what you learned as you move forward in your love relationship, or as you search for a soul mate.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Rejoice! Venus, the ruler of your true love sector, will turn direct on Friday after having been retrograde since December 21. You might have endured setbacks when it came to opening your heart and getting what you want in the romance department. Now, you can press forward in all intimate matters with greater ease and success. While Venus Retrograde was not an ideal time to begin a new love relationship, if you decided to give an old flame a second chance you might feel as if you’ve got something special. Nurture it, but remember: If you didn’t resolve what broke you up in the first place, it might come back to haunt you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You started 2014 at a vital turning point when it comes to relationships. Astrologically, this is due to several factors, but most noticeably is the fact that Pluto, the planet of transformation, is in your relationship sector. Also, Venus has been traveling retrograde in the same area of your chart since December 21. A defining month was likely regarding how you will proceed with a partnership. For some, it’s time to marry. For others, it’s time to separate. Dramatic? Yes, but there is nothing shallow about a Pluto transit. Venus moves forward again starting this Saturday. You will too.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you’ve been caught up in a messy office romance, it appears things will start to go more smoothly for you. Either this will be due to you resolving any insecurity about dating someone you work with, or it’ll be due to you making a decision to separate love from work in some capacity. This might not be a break-up. One of you may decide to look for work somewhere else to end the distracting office gossip. Either way, a New Moon in your partnership sector on Thursday, followed by Venus turning direct on Friday, spells new beginnings in love. Awesome!

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Finally, you can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to your love life. Go ahead, let it out — you know you want to! Romance has been a sore spot since December 21, when Venus turned retrograde in your true love sector. Things between you and your sweetheart may have turned sour, and if so it’s been difficult to resolve those problems. If single, you might have found this to be a lonely time. Anyone who came into your life didn’t quite measure up to your standards. Well, now the lull is over. Expect opportunity for love if single, and anticipate sparks to fly hotter than ever if you’re attached!

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you’ve felt as if you’ve been sleepwalking when it comes to love potential, you’re about to bolt upright. On Thursday, a gorgeous New Moon will fall in your true love sector, opening up the potential for you to meet someone new and possibly fall in love. What makes this even more delicious is the fact that on Friday Venus will turn direct after having been retrograde since December 21. Don’t be surprised if a relative offers to introduce you to someone special, or if you meet someone unexpectedly while attending a family event. Love is in the air!

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

By this weekend you and your partner may feel as if you are finally making progress when it comes to communicating more effectively. Resolution to any disagreement and improvement in how you engage in conversations with one another are likely by Friday. If you and your mate have a serious decision to make about finances and have found it difficult to agree, you might finally reach a compromise that takes both of your needs into consideration. You’ll be relieved.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

While it’s true that you’ve been focused mainly on resolving any financial difficulties over the last several weeks, after Wednesday it’s possible that your attention will move towards a potential love interest. Do you have any siblings or cousins? Don’t be shocked if one of them offers to set you up on a date. Even if you’re not in the mood, consider accepting the invitation — you might be pleasantly surprised. You might also meet someone new if he or she moves into your neighborhood this week. This might even be love at first sight.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This is the week you’ve been waiting for! On Friday, Venus will turn direct after having been hibernating in your sign since December 21. While Venus was moving retrograde it’s possible you encountered significant blocks or tests involving your love life — or lack thereof. You might have met someone new but vacillated about starting a relationship, either because you lacked confidence or wondered if this person was a real fit for you. Now, you can explore your options with greater confidence. Let love in.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Expect solid improvement in your love life by Thursday. Not only will a dazzling New Moon fall in your sign, but the very next day Venus will turn direct after backpedaling in the area of your chart that rules sorrow and seclusion since December 21. You’ll have an incredible opportunity for a personal fresh start in life and love! What makes it even brighter is knowing that you’re finally ready to release whatever anxiety you’ve kept to yourself about a love situation. It’s time to move on.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your romantic prospects will become potent and intense by the end of the week. Love planet Venus will turn direct in your friendship sector. If you’ve been going back and forth about whether or not to date one of your pals, it appears you’ll finally make a decision. In fact, by Friday Jupiter — the planet of expansion — will engage powerful Pluto in a way that just might bring you a romantic opportunity too compelling to ignore. Love will be all-consuming by the weekend. Wow!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 24th

We have a solid connection between our thoughts and our behavior today. We walk our talk now that mental Mercury forms a harmonious trine with go-getter Mars. Our physical energy is connected to our brains, for better or for worse. However, mind over matter is good news only when our thinking is sound. Fortunately, the powerful Scorpio Moon forms several smooth aspects this afternoon, intensifying our passions and turning our ideas into actions.
