New Moon Report for September 25 – Mercury in Libra

Mercury in Libra

Sunday, September 25, 2:09 pm PDT, 5:09 pm EDT 12, 2:27 am PDT, 5:27 am EDT

Bright-eyed Mercury sees both sides of any question in this fair-minded sign. Thinking benefits from refined clarity and communication skills, inviting new connections. Discussions can diverge, darken or break down as the messenger planet follows the courses of Venus and the Sun. The trickster planet encounters lightning bolts of brilliance and impatience with Uranus on the 26th and descends to dark waters of insight and suspicion with Pluto on the 28th. New rules of engagement could be signed with Mercury’s conjunction to serious Saturn on October 6.

New Moon Report for Sept. 23rd – Sun in Libra

Sun in Libra

Friday, September 23, 2:05 am PDT, 5:05 am EDT

This is the Autumnal Equinox above the equator and Spring Equinox below. Libra the scales is the partnership sign, marking the balance of day and night. Awareness of where we stand in the borderlands of self and others is the key to relationships and Libra’s primary task. But like Venus in Libra, the Sun’s opposition to Uranus on the 25th, square to Pluto on the 28th and conjunction with Saturn on October 13 can brew up some mighty storms. Alliances may be shaken and stirred in unexpected ways, yet freedom and cooperation are potential rewards.

Daily Horoscopes for September 21st

We take ourselves more seriously as the moody Cancer Moon forms stressful aspects with domineering Pluto, pleasant Venus and somber Saturn. By the end of the day we may feel as if we’ve been run through the wringer. An anxious quincunx from angry Mars to healing Chiron doesn’t help to soothe our worries. However, a quincunx from the Sun to nebulous Neptune can ameliorate a tense situation by dissipating intense emotions before any damage is done.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you’ve been withholding your feelings, it’s time to release them now that feisty Mars aspects wounded Chiron. Unfortunately, there may be a price to pay because you know more than you are willing to admit. Unexpressed emotions can stew until you lose your temper, so don’t keep secrets any longer than necessary. Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving others.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not enjoy being mad at others, you could feel on-edge today and some unsuspecting little thing might be enough to set you off. Naturally, your frustration can prompt angry words, but don’t let your thoughts slip out unconsciously. Pay attention and stop yourself from stirring up trouble. Be honest, but remember that blaming anyone else is entirely unnecessary and counterproductive.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may have to handle an urgent financial situation that you let go for too long. It could be as simple as processing a bank transaction or paying a bill. But it might require you to set aside time today to get ready for something later in the week. Luckily, your natural flexibility enables you to move through this minor crisis with ease.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you don’t want to place your feelings out in the open for everyone to see, you’re determined to take more of a risk now as headstrong Mars in your 2nd House of Core Beliefs aspects healing Chiron. Meanwhile, the Moon is back in your sign, empowering you to demonstrate your emotional intelligence; forfeit your personal agenda today so you can go along with the general consensus of the group.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Someone may be waiting for your support, but you could be annoyed that he or she isn’t forthright enough to just come out and ask for help. Remember, others might not be as willing to share their feelings as you are, yet there’s nothing to be gained by comparing yourself to your friends. It’s healthier to express any anger you are feeling as gently as possible, before it builds into something more complicated and becomes harder to manage.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends may come riding to the rescue now that the nurturing Cancer Moon is in your 11th House of Social Networking. Don’t be surprised if others defend your ideas or stand up for your integrity. You might think that everything is being blown out of proportion today, but it’s still healthy to protect yourself against someone’s attack. Don’t hesitate to demonstrate that you’re capable of owning your ideas and maintaining an unpopular position.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You won’t likely feel indecisive today, for there’s very little uncertainty in your thoughts and actions. You know exactly how you’re feeling now, but don’t necessarily want to share your emotions with anyone else, even if others are trying to coerce you into spilling the beans. Although you might prefer to be diplomatic, do whatever you must to set clear boundaries so you can maintain your sense of security.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone may think you’re being too intense today when you share your personal vision of the future. But the Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas squares radical Uranus, leaving you torn between following the rules and doing something totally off the wall. Although you’re probably leaning toward the expressive, rather than the suppressive, side of the equation, it’s still wise to withdraw for a while to give everyone some breathing room.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may come as a shock to a close friend or lover that you want to dig into the emotional underpinnings of your relationship today. Although this may be out of your normal comfort zone, you realize that understanding the current power dynamics is important now. You intuitively know that two opposing factions can be brought back together again through dialogue. Remember, temporarily loosening the reins of control could ultimately shift the advantage in your favor.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re not in the mood to listen to others whine about circumstances that are not within their individual control. The responsive Cancer Moon’s current visit to your 7th of Relationships encourages you to instruct people to accept their fate and then put their efforts toward something that truly matters. Unfortunately, some folks just don’t get the message and others don’t even seem to care. The truth is that once you have given your opinion, it’s up to everyone else to change their attitudes.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Following your intuition is your secret strategy today and it can transform you from an ordinary human being into a veritable superhero. Fortunately, you have the stamina now to make your dreams come true, so don’t give up. There’s no value in justifying your choices to everyone else. All the right words can only do so much; lead by example, instead.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Relationships seem complicated by issues you cannot quite grasp as you try to untangle your feelings from the pile. You may believe that you should be setting new boundaries, but you really don’t want to distance yourself from the value of working closely with others at this time. Although you might not feel like being very expressive today, don’t be afraid of telling others what’s on your mind. You might be pleasantly surprised by what happens next.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, September 19th

Although loving Venus is very powerful in her home sign of fair-minded Libra, we may not be so objective today as her stressful square with passionate Pluto yesterday brought intense emotions to the surface. Raw feelings linger and we might provoke a showdown if our needs differ from someone else’s, especially now that expressive Mars is in demonstrative Leo. Meanwhile the changeable Gemini Moon is subdued by a midday trine to enduring Saturn.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are very excited, but you can’t necessarily put your finger on the reason for your current good mood. You might even feel okay in the face of something unpleasant that you learn today. Someone may place an obstacle on your path to happiness, but you probably won’t even mind because you’re able to dance your way around nearly anything that stands in your way now. Still, it’s wise to allow plenty of time to finish your work because everything could take longer than you think.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s difficult to make a significant decision today since it feels like you’re being pulled in several different directions. Usually you’re able to process complex issues and condense the information into one simple conclusion, but no single solution seems correct now. Don’t force an answer; it will come naturally on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You aren’t very sure of yourself today as the Moon in your adaptable sign squares mental Mercury. You may become self-critical if you’re having trouble dealing with the more practical side of life. Fortunately, you know that you’ll figure things out, but it could take another day or two. If you can’t put the big picture together yet, just concentrate on the little pieces of the puzzle until everything fits into place.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re ready for a change, but oddly enough, you don’t necessarily know what you want. You may try to overcompensate for your fear of the unknown by acting with false bravado. However, faking your enthusiasm will only complicate the situation even further, so just be as honest as you can by telling others what you are truly feeling.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be very entertaining today, but putting on a show won’t likely bring you the happiness you seek. Instead of pretending that you have it all together, preparing for a later performance can make a big difference. However, it’s important to strike a balance between following the script and being flexible enough to improvise in the present moment. Aside from practicing your lines, listen to those around you and respond from your heart.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may not want to retreat from a position you recently took, but you might realize today that you were too eager or overly confident. Finally, reality is starting to set in and you might see the consequences of your undelivered promises and unfinished work. But don’t waste any energy being mad at yourself. The best thing to do is apologize if necessary and then move on.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may not actually hear voices today, but you’re likely aware of the guidance you’re receiving from aliens, angels or your subconscious mind. One thing is for certain: this isn’t business as usual. Something strange and wonderful is occurring now, so don’t push it away. Pay attention to the symbols that appear in your fantasies and dreams because they could contain the message you have been seeking all along.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are usually attracted to the mysteries of life, yet now you prefer straightforward answers to more practical concerns. Sadly, there isn’t an easy way out today so it’s better to seek satisfaction by contemplating the meaning of life, rather than wasting time chasing your tail. Just keep in mind that letting go is not the same thing as giving up.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re still a bit too serious today because you don’t want to scale back your plans just to make them more realistic. Even if you’re being tested by current circumstances, there’s no good reason to lose confidence. You can realize your dreams, but it helps to compromise. If you acknowledge the things that are not negotiable, you may be surprised at how fast you progress to establishing common ground.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The intensity level of your emotions is on the rise today, and you’re not sure how to handle your feelings. It may seem like everything is out of control, magnifying your uneasiness with the suppressed and irrational side of your nature. Unfortunately, you cannot stuff your fears back into the box. Don’t sink into denial; instead, muster up enough courage to face the unknown.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be anticipating an easygoing day, but the Moon’s visit to your 5th House of Fun and Games makes things difficult because you are required to play by someone else’s specific instructions. Unfortunately, others are changing the rules as fast as you create them now. Ironically, you can shift the dynamics and place yourself in a winning position by acquiescing today. Letting another person take charge may not be your usual style, but it could be the best strategy at this time.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You truly believe that you have your life back under control today, but someone may still appear to challenge the basis of your authority. You are comfortable with running the show when your leadership is needed, but you’re not interested in fighting to get the position. Luckily, there are many exciting possibilities ahead and keeping your options open is wiser than making a wrong decision under haste.

New Moon Report for Sept. 14 – Venus in Libra

Venus in Libra

Wednesday, September 14, 7:40 pm PDT, 10:40 pm EDT

Amorous Venus entry into her airy home sign generally bodes well for peace, harmony and a more objective view of relationships. All may not be idyllic, though, as the love planet runs a gauntlet of hard aspects with volatile Uranus on September 17, punishing Pluto on the 18th and stern Saturn on the 29th. Addressing underlying issues about freedom, power and control rationally may not be easy, but can lead to stronger alliances.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 13th

The Moon powers her way into courageous Aries at 2:49 am EDT, infusing us with a new wave of energy. Her conjunction with electrifying Uranus sparks lightning bolts of awareness, lighting up the darkness and revealing previously hidden secrets. The Moon’s square with transformative Pluto deepens our feelings and can create an emotional impasse. An irritating Venus-Neptune alignment early tomorrow morning confuses our dreams with reality.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions are running amok now that the Moon is hooking up with crazy Uranus in your sign. You want to experience the extreme intensity while somehow simultaneously acting cool. However, you can’t play it both ways, even if it seems like you must give up something when you choose one or the other. Logic only takes you so far today, but going beyond words and trusting your instincts could put you back on track.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You truly want a romantic relationship to work out today, even if you have to face an old issue that you prefer to avoid. You realize that you can’t hide your head in the sand any longer, even if you thought that you would be able to take the easy way out. Fortunately, handling your fears won’t be as tough as you thought. It’s much more difficult to pretend that everything is fine when it’s not.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can sense a powerful shift in the cosmic weather today as the clouds of illusion are chased from your inner skies. You are ready to get to the bottom of something that has bothered you lately, but the answers you receive won’t likely be the ones you expect. Don’t be shocked by what you discover now. Even though persistence doesn’t come easily to you, it will pay off.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Something is motivating you to share more than you expected today, even if you know that you should say less. Unfortunately, once you open your mouth, closing it becomes much more difficult. It’s helpful to remind yourself throughout the day that you don’t have to tell your whole story all at once. Reacting slowly and deliberately will get you further than speaking too soon.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s time to move past old hurtful memories so you can be open to the joy that’s recently found its way into your life. However, this doesn’t mean that you should just forget about your previous experiences. Setting aside your feelings is not a sensible strategy because you’ll only end up being irritated without an obvious reason. Ultimately, your willingness to be open-minded can lead to an exciting emotional breakthrough that can shake up your outlook on life and send you off in a new direction.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be trying to deepen a business or personal relationship now, but could run into a totally unexpected response from the other person. Even if you are open to surprises, it’s challenging when things don’t fit into a neat and tidy package. Fortunately, this won’t become a problem unless you make it one. You’re at the start of something new, so allow the energy to flow naturally rather than frustrating yourself by wishing the tides would follow your schedule.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s shift into your 7th House of Partnerships increases the stress in relationships, especially if other people seem overly pushy today. You may be tempted to withdraw to protect yourself emotionally, but this strategy only increases your sense of isolation. Instead of shutting out others now, try to understand their point of view. Once you can see things through someone else’s eyes, you can establish common ground, enabling everyone to feel better about the situation.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The feisty Aries Moon dynamically squares your key planet Pluto today, stirring up raw emotions that can suddenly erupt. But you don’t want to escalate a conflict now; you simply prefer to get to the source of your anger so you can process your feelings and move on. Fortunately, you are motivated to do so once you realize that holding on to the past will only bring you unhappiness, even if there’s a bright future beckoning just ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are already anticipating good things just around the bend, but the future cannot arrive soon enough for you. You have plenty of responsibilities to fulfill today before you can head out to play, but you’re ready to leave them until later if something interesting comes up. Fortunately, you should be able to grab the fun and excitement in the present moment as long as you remember to finish your chores once you return.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not be ready for the speed of change now as the Moon meets up with unpredictable Uranus. You have a choice to make that can affect your whole day. Either let the pressure get the best of you by fearfully worrying about something you can’t control or consciously turn your frown into a grin, knowing that change is on the way whether you want it or not. Don’t expect a miracle, but remember that your positive attitude and flexibility can turn a tough day into a positive one.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may think that you have everything under control, something happens today that forces you to see the world differently. Instead of trying to keep up with your busy schedule, it may be more sensible to let it fall apart and then piece things back together once the chaos clears. It’s too late for preventive medicine now; just be ready for change and let the chips fall where they may.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if you’re being pushed into the future against your will. It’s not that you’re resistant to progress; it’s just that you have grown comfortable with the status quo and you’re not yet ready for it to slip into the past. Keep in mind that your fear of what’s coming next may be more problematic than the actual challenges you will face. Don’t worry about the unknown; there’s nothing you can do about the future until it arrives.

General Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 7th

Today is a cosmically quiet day without significant planetary aspects, giving us a bit of breathing room to integrate the recent changes before the next wave hits. Although we might have extra time on our hands, we may be confronted with issues that we previously tried to avoid. The steadfast Capricorn Moon settles our intense feelings as she separates from yesterday’s conjunction with dark Pluto and harmoniously trines the practical Virgo Sun.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Being overly concerned about how others see you isn’t your normal style, but the cautious Capricorn Moon in your 10th House of Status requires you to be on your best behavior now. You must proceed carefully, for your natural inclination is to talk before you think. Thankfully, your intuition should show you the most practical course of action, which is exactly what you need.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Everything appears to fall into place today, but, unfortunately, you still may not feel completely at ease. Although it’s reassuring that your life has settled down sufficiently for you to have some time to relax, you might think that you’re missing something important now. Don’t worry about anything that’s not concrete. Focusing on reality rather than your anxiety is your best preparation for whatever might occur next.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Accept the support of your closest friends and family today, for they will supply the solid foundation that you might lack on your own. The help you need now isn’t about money; it’s about knowing that others have faith in you and in what you’re doing. Don’t wait for someone to offer assistance; ask and you shall receive.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be more content with listening to what others want without feeling the necessity to fix anything today. You can be sweet and caring, but it’s more important now to fulfill your obligations and make time to meet your own needs, instead. Remember, you will have more to give later on if you feel satisfied yourself.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

No matter what you feel today, it’s best to stick to your regular routine as closely as possible. However, you still must remain flexible enough to handle changing circumstances because unexpected situations may arise that pull you off your normal schedule. Don’t be overly rigid when responding to a surprise; instead, just return to the safety of the tried and true as soon as you can.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon brightens your 5th House of Self-Expression, reflecting your current need to tell someone how you feel, especially if there is a romantic attraction. You would prefer to let your love light shine all the time, but sometimes you turn it down low so you can be of service to those who need your help. Now, however, don’t deny your desires; let your heart guide your way.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might prefer to hide away at home today, out of sight from the real world. Unfortunately, your little mini-retreat may not work out so well because you still have to go to work or run errands. Being productive is admirable, but don’t be afraid to honor your own needs, too. Finish what you start quickly, so you still have some time left over for relaxation later in the day.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You really want to do something special with your friends or family today, but are hesitant to schedule too much into your day. If you’re busy, you may be resistant to the idea of doing more, yet you’re likely to enjoy yourself once you get into the flow of events. Don’t procrastinate; the sooner you put your calendar in order now, the smoother everything will go.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you aren’t in conflict with someone else today, you are probably arguing with yourself. Your thoughts could be leading you around in circles; even if you attempt to stop the inner dialogue, it seems to have a mind of its own. Regain your emotional balance by allowing your mental meanderings to continue without trying to push them away. Paradoxically, once you try to exert control, the cycle restarts for another round.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your strong resolve to follow your agenda is being severely tested today and you’re ready to bury your feelings if you think that they might get in the way of your progress. Unfortunately, denying your emotions only postpones the inevitable; your repressed energy will come out sooner or later. If tension does escalate, however, the expression can be much more difficult. It’s healthier to deal with the consequences as they occur and then let them pass.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might not be telling the whole truth about what’s happening today because your desire for self-sufficiency encourages you to keep your feelings secret. You don’t have a reason to show your vulnerability, which could restrain the intensity of an emotional interaction. There’s no right or wrong way to approach a situation now as long as you keep your heart open and act with kindness.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can count on your friends to come through for you today as the Moon visits your 11th House of Social Networking. Your desires are pretty basic, and thankfully you should be able to get what you want. Ironically, others may not be very demonstrative now, but you still won’t have any doubt about their love and support. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need because you’ll likely receive it.

Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 2nd

Our desires are complicated by the power of today’s magnetic Scorpio Moon, and we may be fearful of expressing our needs if others don’t actively support our intensity. We feel driven to convince everyone that we’re right, no matter what the emotional cost happens to be now. However, our irrational worries are ameliorated by a happy Sun-Jupiter trine that rewards upbeat thinking, encourages generous behavior and spurs random acts of kindness.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be caught up in a complex swirl of energy as you attempt to untangle your attachments. Although you might try to be impartial in your approach to relationships today, you could have a tough decision to make now that could ultimately change the trajectory of your life. Fortunately, your clear intentions help you spin the current circumstances in a way that’s beneficial to all involved.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quite determined to avoid an unpleasant confrontation today because you cannot see how it will lead to anything positive. It’s easier for you to sit on the fence now and wait for resolution than to get caught up in making something happen. But inaction will only work for so long. Ultimately, you’ll feel better after the various opinions have been aired, even if there’s no apparent common ground yet. There’s no need to force a group consensus; it will come naturally on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury the Communicator might appear to be no match while standing up to transformative Pluto today; but your thoughts will endure, even if your priorities change. Holding onto your vision helps you face a difficult opponent. You may feel that someone is out to defeat you, but if you’re smart enough to steer clear of open conflict now, you should be able to continue toward your destination without further interference.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are challenged to show your feelings with Mars now back in your sign. Your life may seem overly intense now, and it feels like there’s too much going on, making it nearly impossible to know where to start. Although overcoming your hesitation is wise, don’t share everything at once. Choose your topics of discussion carefully; emphasizing those things you can be optimistic about should help you reach your goals.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be feeling a bit embarrassed today if you recently went out on a limb and said more than was necessary. However hopeful you are that others can step beyond their narrow-minded thinking to see the big picture, you still face an uphill battle. Attempts to demonstrate your intellectual superiority are bound to fail. Instead of making anyone else feel like a loser, figure out how everyone can win.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you realize the significance of your own core beliefs, it’s difficult when someone close to you has an entirely different set of assumptions. However, it’s a trap to engage in dialogue solely for the purpose of proving you are right. Once you acknowledge that intelligent people can hold opposing views, you will be free to work on self-improvement instead of wasting time trying to change another person’s mind.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Mercury’s current visit to playful Leo makes you more talkative and increases your mental activity, but you may need to fight for your right to speak your mind. Fortunately, your creative juices are flowing directly from the source now, making it easier to be proactive. Being considerate of other people’s feelings is admirable, but don’t allow your willingness to compromise stop you from doing what’s best for you.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your suspicious sign can raise issues of jealousy or possessiveness in relationships. You may think that someone is working against you behind your back, but it may just be your fears stirring up these fantasies. Don’t succumb to the negativity today; the choice is truly yours. Choosing self-improvement over everything else should be enough to put a positive spin on the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter forms an optimistic trine with the illuminating Sun today, lifting your spirits and raising your hopes. Luckily, your cheerful attitude can positively impact your immediate future, but self-doubt could also surface and temporarily interfere with a good day. Connect with your friends because they will help take your mind off of your problems and remind you of what’s most important.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may lock horns with a friend and find yourself in a standoff today, especially if you feel threatened by your own insecurity. But other people’s clever ideas are no match for your unrelenting persistence and strong sense of purpose. Although someone may anger you now, don’t get distracted from your ambitious goals. Your current optimism, mixed with intense concentration, is an unbeatable combination.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have the gift of clear vision and shouldn’t let anyone dismiss your dreams today. But things get tricky fast if someone questions your authority. Your energy could shift into a more aggressive mood if you attempt to defend yourself. Don’t bother trying to justify your position now. Just keep your eyes on the horizon and continue heading in that direction.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although everything seems quite intense, you are able to stay slightly detached from your emotions today. Luckily, your optimistic perspective on relationships enables you to avoid an unnecessary conflict with someone who fundamentally disagrees with your position. Remember that you don’t have to be right; you have absolutely nothing to prove now. Instead of stirring up trouble with a loved one, concentrate on realizing your dreams.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Aug. 30

We can re-establish balance in our lives with the Moon’s shift into peaceful Libra at 2:25 pm EDT, especially after the recent emotional intensity we’ve experienced. We may feel another kick when the Moon opposes irrepressible Uranus and squares formidable Pluto later this evening. Thankfully, the harmonious and happy effects of a lovely trine between beautiful Venus and opulent Jupiter bless us with good vibrations throughout the day.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Other people may get on your nerves today if they won’t hurry up and make up their minds. You want answers now and can become frustrated when your impatience gets the best of you. Unfortunately, no one seems to share your sense of urgency. It’s easier once you admit that this problem is more about your needs than anyone else’s shortcomings. Ease up and give your friends a little room to be themselves.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may lack ambition today, even though you have specific chores that still must be finished. But you might not feel the need to jump in and take care of your duties before heading out for a little fun. Be careful about avoiding your obligations because, ironically, you may not be able to relax enough to enjoy yourself if you act irresponsibly.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are looking forward to an easygoing day with the Moon entering your 5th House of Fun and Games. However, there is so much happening in your life these days that you might not have enough time to explore new ways to entertain yourself. But don’t take out your frustration on others. Even if someone seems to be blocking your progress, it isn’t about anyone else’s actions. Changing your own attitude is the only way to overcome the resistance you feel today.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be unsure about how to handle a family matter today, but it’s certainly not because you don’t care. Rather, you’re so concerned with what’s happening that you see the pros and cons of more than one solution. You may even reach a point of frustration and walk away from the whole situation. Don’t be a quitter; it’s better to just make a choice now, even if you aren’t one hundred percent positive in your decision.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might want to play the role of the diplomat today, placing yourself between two other people who are in the middle of an ongoing disagreement. You’re able to listen to each version of the story and still remain neutral and levelheaded. Just remember that you aren’t the final arbiter of truth and justice. Instead, you’ll be most effective if you can simply help the conflicted parties find some common ground on which to stand.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not be as in touch with your feelings today as you were over the past few days when the Moon was visiting your sign. Thankfully, you are able to cool off emotionally now, enabling your critical thinking to lead you in a sensible direction. But don’t be overly judgmental and end up saying no to everything. Keep in mind that this isn’t about lowering your standards; rather, it’s about remaining open to unknown possibilities.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon returns to your sign today, possibly overwhelming you with powerful feelings. Thankfully, you should be able to keep working toward your goals if you’re able to integrate your emotions into what you’re doing. You may be sure enough about your ideas that you can easily go along with any group decision. Unfortunately, others may think that your willingness to yield is a sign of weakness. Don’t try to convince anyone that they are wrong. Keep your integrity intact and others will shift their assumptions over time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are willing to tell others how you feel, but may not have the need because you’re probably a lot more flexible today than you seem. However, you certainly don’t want to come across as weak or undecided, so you might just choose a side and then remain loyal to whatever you pick. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you are right; what’s more important now is that you’re following your bliss.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You would like to participate in some summer fun with your friends today because being in a group of like-minded people is nourishing to your soul. However, you might not be eager to relinquish your authority or let go of control. Ironically, everyone else may believe that you have things more together than you actually do. This is tricky territory; if you don’t show some vulnerability now, others may not be able to help you later on when you really need it.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It feels as if everyone expects you to be able to pull the right answers out of thin air today; however, you may not be willing to play their game. As interested as you are in being correct, you’re not as concerned with choosing one solution over another. What’s most critical now is to navigate by your own moral compass instead; if you do, you’ll find a way out of the current dilemma.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Everything seems to work well up to a point today. You’re willing to create a plan and then execute it, but you must be ready to set it aside if circumstances change and obstacles stand in your path. Instead of attempting to make a run for the finish line, take your time and handle any issues that pop up along the way. Slow and steady wins the race.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re interested in getting to the bottom of an emotional issue now that could be getting in the way of the intimacy you seek. Discussing your attractions and desires is not enough to deepen the bond, because it becomes harder to talk about your feelings when you’re scared of losing your rational perspective. Nevertheless, you’re safer today than you realize, so let your emotions wash over you without any fear of drowning.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 25

Frustrations abound when assertive Mars runs into a dynamic square with restrictive Saturn. Although we are excited about pushing ahead, reaching our goals may be a lot tougher than we expect as we run into one obstacle after another. Thankfully, persistence pays off when a powerful Venus-Pluto trine facilitates deeper emotional connections. No longer are we confined by someone else’s judgments; we are emotionally engaged and playing for keeps.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You intuitively believe that it’s a good idea to follow your feelings today, even if you don’t know where they are taking you. You may be uncomfortable with the idea of giving up some of your freedom, yet this seems to be a small price to pay for establishing a magical connection with a powerful person. Remember that narrowing your options to get something in return can actually feel good in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Being emotionally fulfilled isn’t only about feeling good today; it’s also about being aligned with a higher purpose. Luckily, it’s easier to accomplish your goals now that your head and your heart are in tune with each other. You know what to do to attract wealth and to express love, so don’t let self-doubt limit your options. Dream as big as you can and be ready to grab the brass ring when you get the chance.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult for you to slow down enough to sink into your emotions, especially if you’re afraid of what you might discover. Once you let the distractions fade away, you could be pulled into the dark recesses of your imagination where a clever turn of phrase isn’t sufficient to bring you back into the light. If, however, you have the courage to be patient, negativity will dissipate and you will return with treasures from your journey within.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are relieved that you get to handle the intensity of someone else’s fears today because you have already wrestled with your own inner demons. It’s not that you have all the answers; it’s just that you are now willing to witness the process for others without feeling threatened yourself. Don’t underestimate the commitment that is required; this is intense emotional work and your compassion will be greatly appreciated.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s not easy to find an uplifting story in the midst of the gloom today, but your persistent search can uncover important realizations that change your day for the better. You are learning about maintaining your own emotional health now, yet your lesson may be an unexpected one. You haven’t chosen an easy journey, but investigating beneath the surface can change your perspective and give you a whole new point of view.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions are a source of power now and even the most challenging obstacle in your path won’t slow you down very much today. Of course, you want to concentrate your efforts on whatever issues arise, but at least you’ll do so with a positive and practical attitude. Luckily, this isn’t about being in denial; in fact, it’s your critical thinking that enables you to see through the camouflage and effectively cut to the chase.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

As hard as you try to avoid it, you are still pulled into a complex emotional drama today that raises an old familiar issue. Fortunately, there’s nothing threatening in the present circumstances, yet they still remind you of a previous power struggle when you weren’t as much in control of your feelings. Don’t look back, or your fears can prompt you to limit your current options. Instead, consider the possibilities; anything you put your mind to now has the potential of becoming real.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your power comes from your magical ability to undergo a surprising metamorphosis today. You are like the legendary phoenix that arises from the ashes as Pluto harmonizes with magnetic Venus. Others might be afraid of such dynamic change, but you instinctively know that it’s futile to resist these evolutionary waves. Being flexible enough to go with the emotional flow now is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you can disagree about the truth of a story, it’s pointless today to do battle over a simple difference of opinion. However, explaining your beliefs enables you to separate them from the hard facts. Making this distinction is quite helpful now, and lessens your chance of getting into an argument over a topic where there can never be a clear winner.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You won’t likely be sweet-talked into capitulation today, yet you could perform some gentle persuasion yourself. You might try sheer stubbornness as a strategy now, but it’s only because you feel like you have too much to lose. Don’t waste energy trying to protect yourself; instead go out and do something creative in order to mix up the energy. Others will appreciate you making the first move.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Anything you choose to keep to yourself now will carry even more weight than what you reveal. But this is not a permission slip to tell everything to everybody; there are many things that are best left unsaid. Just think through your motives for sharing and then select the best time to talk. If you have a purpose for expressing what’s in your heart, then your current communication will ideally bring an important feeling out into the open.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The sharpness of your practical analysis prompts you to make an important decision about your feelings today. But ironically, you might feel like you’re temporarily lost in the desert in search of an oasis. Although you exhibit strength of purpose in your current choices, a lack of commitment could be problematic. Deciding with your head is not as long-lasting as following your heart.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 19th

We return to reality as the Moon enters sensible Taurus at 8:36 am EDT. Instead of getting excited about starting a new activity, we are finally able to slow down. Without too many distractions now we can easily sink into our current feelings and enjoy ourselves. And although beautiful Venus aligns with unconventional Uranus late tonight, stirring up eclectic desires, the Taurus Moon reminds us of the importance of getting back to basics.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be concerned that yesterday’s excitement has passed, but now it’s time to settle your energy to sustain the progress you already started. However, you need to be careful, for you can get so caught up in what you want that you forget about respecting sensible limits. If you start to obsess about a person or a thing, take it as a sign that it’s time to stop pushing so hard.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon returns to your sign this morning, enabling you to simplify your life. However, you may feel so lazy that you let the day slip by without getting much accomplished. Fortunately, your senses are sharp and your conclusions are logical, but you still could make a mistake by giving an idea or a person the benefit of the doubt. Everything is not always perfect; processing negative feelings may require courage, but can also lead to deeper intimacy.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your clever words make it seem as if you are completely engaged in an interaction, but your witty repartee is likely hiding your emotions. Although you may believe that limited disclosure is a wise strategy today, whatever you don’t say can have just as much impact as what is discussed. Instead of laughing off an intense feeling, try to express what is truly in your heart.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may receive sufficient support from your friends and co-workers today, but there could be unspoken demands that come along with their help. There are emotional undertones to everything that happens now and you might be expected to return a favor even if you never were told that was part of the deal. But don’t let your annoyance turn into resentment; be upfront and express yourself clearly from the start.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might struggle today as you try to rein in your emotions so you don’t get distracted through the first part of the day. Your heart may be on fire with romantic urges when the Moon harmonizes with sensual Venus in your sign, but it seems that expressing your desires isn’t in the cards right now. Instead of assuming that you’ll get what you want later, it’s much healthier to simply accept the current situation for what it is without clinging to any additional expectations.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to get overly involved in a friend’s melodrama today, but you may be drawn into it anyhow. Fortunately, your ability to be a good listener is augmented by maintaining your cool objectivity. Your practical approach is probably exactly what is required to smooth someone else’s ruffled feathers. Your own needs might have to take a back seat while you help out someone you love.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends set a lovely example by showing their affection and respect for you. However, upon closer scrutiny, everything isn’t as it seems. Feelings that haven’t been shared might be lurking just beneath the surface today, adding a sense of apprehension to your interactions with others. Don’t let a little miscommunication become a big deal. Requesting immediate clarification helps prevent you from reading more into a situation than is actually there.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Relationships can prompt you to reveal more than you intend as she charms her way into a flowing trine with secretive Pluto in your 3rd House of Communication. You might think that sharing your current worries with a trusted friend will assuage your fears. However, nearly anything you say now can turn your best of intentions into an emotionally intense conversation. You may regret expressing your feelings at first, but the outcome will likely be extremely worthwhile.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may truly believe that any difficulty can be handled if you have the right attitude, your theory will likely be tested today. Fortunately, a volatile emotional conflict won’t create any long-term problems, but it could wreak havoc on your stress levels for a while. Maintain a healthy perspective on your feelings by continuing with your regular daily schedule. Your rattled nerves should be calmer tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It isn’t your preference to stop what you’re currently doing to dig into an emotional issue that doesn’t seem to have an immediate impact on your day. Nevertheless, your subconscious mind might be sending you signals that warp your perceptions today just enough to throw a conversation off course. It’s smarter to get to the source of the problem before it becomes even more complicated by your denial.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An attractive friend or lover may be sweet toward you today, tempting you to lower your guard. Normally, you would happily comply, but he or she might have a hidden agenda now, making this a tricky transition. Don’t isolate yourself from those you like. Continue listening but also pay attention to what isn’t being said, because the hidden information holds more sway over your day than what’s actually shared.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your methodical approach to your work today can make the difference between a low production day and one that’s off the charts. You may feel as if other people are trying to bring you down or impede your progress on the job. But even if this is true now, you may not be able to address the problem directly. Instead, keep shining your light by taking the high road. The external resistance will eventually fade if you can avoid empowering it with your negativity.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 17th

The impulsive Aries Moon can get us into a heap of trouble today unless we consciously practice patience. Our moods are on a rollercoaster ride as the Moon joins explosive Uranus, squares passionate Pluto and reckless Mars, and then opposes karmic Saturn. Additionally, a red-hot Sun-Mars alignment floods our bodies with adrenaline, provoking fear or anger. No one gets to sit on the sidelines now; we are fully engaged whether we like it or not.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to contain yourself now that the Moon is back in your sign. You may spend so much time trying to get ahead, only to be delayed by circumstances beyond your control. Perhaps you really believe that you can talk your way out of anything, but it’s hard to find your way through this tricky period. Don’t whine if your boss sends you back to finish an incomplete task. Just make sure you do it right so you can fully enjoy yourself later on.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t necessarily forthcoming about your intentions today because you think that your enthusiasm could attract resistance. Discretion is a smart tactic now; although you probably won’t get what you want, your perseverance is very likely to be rewarded. However, you know that it’s not enough to wait for the right moment. Use your current time wisely to improve upon your plan for success.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The demands on your time could be overwhelming because you’re surrounded by people with big ideas. Still, you don’t want to engage in lighthearted banter and playful games that distract you from your real purpose. Nevertheless, you know how to have a good time; it’s just that you would enjoy yourself more if the pressure of unfulfilled obligations wasn’t weighing heavily on your mind. Save the long-winded explanations for another time. Simply let others know that it’s nothing personal and that you will join in the fun after your work is done.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You don’t want to play the role of the bad guy just because no one else is taking responsibility for what needs to be done. The situation can be nerve-wracking, especially if others on your work team are as disorganized as they appear. But don’t be overly critical; you might be correct in your perceptions, yet outright confrontation won’t bring you any closer to your goals. Fortunately, your current frustration should begin to fade tomorrow when everybody seems more cooperative.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It isn’t enjoyable to have an adventurous streak if you cannot find a way to express it today. Unfortunately, you might experience a block in your imagination that prevents you from getting a lot done. Maybe a current event triggers an old negative thinking pattern. Or, perhaps, someone is covertly working to thwart your efforts. Instead of dealing with obstacles head-on now and fulfilling your current need for an adrenaline rush, ease off and let the tension settle on its own accord.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t normally mind playing with fire if you are well-trained in pyrotechnical matters. It’s much easier for you to feel confident if you’re the one who’s in control. You know where you want to go and have a plan to get you there. However, you grow disheartened if someone stands in your way and tries to limit your freedom. Don’t attempt to assume authority today, for you will only make matters worse. Your best move now is to temporarily acquiesce or to retreat. You’ll be back in the driver’s seat tomorrow.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you’re trying to avoid a commitment, you may not be able to escape it too much longer. Unfortunately, your current options may not include what you’re looking for now. You might become so discouraged that you want to throw your hands up in the air and just walk away from it all. But accepting defeat won’t make you any happier. It’s better to admit your dissatisfaction and continue to search for common ground. Be persistent and you will find a way through this uncomfortable dilemma.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Three planets in steadfast Leo and your 10th House of Public Life require you to be disciplined as you work toward achieving your goals. However, you may not be satisfied with how long it will take. You want to sprint to the finish line, but it’s still too far away. Do what you do best under pressure and focus on the deep satisfaction that you’ll feel when you’re done, rather than the frustration you experience along the way.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could be flying on a creative high today, but instead you might run into blockades and delays that can bamboozle you. You aren’t clear about what you’re doing differently now or why you have lost your edge. Instead of worrying about being productive, consider each setback as an opportunity to catch your breath. Don’t push too hard; your confidence will return soon enough.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s tough to express your emotions today, especially if you believe that someone has already squared off for battle. Ironically, you don’t even want to win; you are more interested in people acknowledging your feelings and validating your perceptions. Avoid playing the blame game or you can inadvertently put a friend or partner on the defense. Be extra careful to take full responsibility for what’s in your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might waste time and energy following a wide variety of interests today. Although you’re able to make progress, it feels as if there are stop signs facing you no matter which way you turn. But staying active is a double-edged sword because you could miss an important lesson. Slow down and pause long enough to get a clearer version of the picture. There’s no need to be in such a hurry to go anywhere when there’s plenty for you to do right where you are.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe that spending money on something you want today increases your chances for happiness. You might be tempted to take a quick weekend getaway, but don’t have the extra cash available for discretionary purchases. Don’t get discouraged because good news is coming your way in the next day or two. In the meantime, concentrating your energy on a creative project that makes you feel good is better than the temporary pleasure of any escapist behavior.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Aug. 13th

A quirky Aquarius Full Moon at 2:57 pm EDT sparks our awareness with ingenious solutions to an existing dilemma. The Moon opposes the heart-centered Leo Sun, reminding us that a bit of emotional distance can prevent over-personalizing a situation. But quick resolution may be elusive because the Sun, Moon and Venus all form anxious aspects with passionate Pluto. Although we can fix our problems in theory, our plans still may run into resistance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You want to tell others your opinion today, even if you think that it will stir up resistance. You may not be concerned about what anyone else thinks now because you’re pretty certain that your perspective is the right one. Although your plan could work just fine, your words might sound more belligerent than you actually feel. Gain the support you seek by toning down your message and acknowledging the validity of an alternate approach.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your unwavering commitment to accomplish a task can prompt you to do things your own way at any cost, turning a positive attribute into a negative one. Your determination is admirable, but you can be so stubborn today that those closest to you wonder why you are sabotaging your own possible success. Unfortunately, your plan might be in jeopardy without the cooperation of your friends. Your blind optimism could prevent you from seeing things objectively, so be open to the advice others have to offer.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Maintaining an optimistic perspective about a current project is not easy now. You’re tempted to overinflate an idea which turns it into a less useful one. Today’s Aquarius Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure inspires you to dream about the amazing possibilities ahead, rather than concentrating on the present moment. If you drift off into daydreams about the future, gently bring your thoughts back to the specific tasks at hand.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Full Moon overwhelms your 8th House of Shared Resources with brilliant ideas, raising issues around jointly held possessions or investments. Someone’s appeal to your egalitarian principles can provoke enough guilt so you lessen your demands. However, it’s healthier for you to be an equal partner now, rather than being subservient in any way. Don’t just say yes to make another person feel better, because your self-esteem may suffer if you do.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Full Moon illuminates your 7th House of Others, possibly reactivating an unresolved relationship issue. If you are experiencing difficulties in love, this lunation’s cool logic can offer a powerful opportunity to heal. Reframing a past relationship in a new light changes your perspective and frees you to be more fully alive in every moment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The conceptual Aquarius Full Moon falls in your 6th House of Details, tempting you to lean on your analytical skills to solve a current problem. However, you may be so logical that you cannot feel the emotional warmth coming your way now. Although you think you’re listening carefully, you might not be able to pick up other people’s messages unless they come in on your exact frequency. Opening your mind to new channels of communication today can teach you a very important lesson.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your creativity may be erratic today with the Full Moon brightening your 5th House of Self-Expression, yet you could put on a brilliant performance if you don’t try to control the process. A smart strategy is to have a variety of things to keep you busy while you’re waiting for the muse to visit. Meanwhile, stay open to riding a creative wave if it comes along, but don’t be hard on yourself if nothing extraordinary happens.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s Full Moon stretches you between your personal and professional goals. Although you may feel as if something could suddenly give way, your determination to restore balance to your life should override any emotional upset, even if the stress seems overwhelming at first. But denying your feelings isn’t wise either, for they can lead you to an important lesson. In the meantime, focus on the present and reestablish your priorities.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is a rather intense Full Moon because it opposes the dramatic Leo Sun in your 9th House of Philosophy, reactivating a familiar theme in your life. You are aware that your wanderlust makes it difficult to follow through on existing commitments. Although you might be frustrated by your current limitations, you can improve your life by simply acknowledging your adventurous desires while simultaneously managing the circumstances of your immediate environment. Be creative in everything you do.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your current financial condition could be rather unstable, for today’s unconventional Aquarius Full Moon stresses your 2nd House of Money. Maybe you discover that your cash on hand is less than you thought or, perhaps, your bills are greater than previously calculated. Either way, don’t try to avoid an issue that arises now, because handling it intelligently is much better than putting it off, even if you don’t have a final solution.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s Full Moon in your sign indicates that sweeping changes are necessary to get your life back on track. However, you won’t need to put too much effort into solidifying your plans because unexpected events will likely require you to adapt to other people’s schedules anyway. It takes courage to be flexible now instead of rigidly sticking to an old agenda that no longer works. Although this might be an exercise in cooperation, don’t lose yourself in the process.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You yearn for more meaning to your life because events at work continue to require an increasing amount of your attention. Your friends and colleagues may not even notice that you’re struggling as you reassess your goals, and it’s probably better to leave them out of your current dilemma. But this isn’t about escaping from your routine; it’s about developing a more spiritual approach to everything you do.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for August 12 – 14

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Freedom vs. Familiarity

August 12 – 14

There’s an electricity in the air this weekend that invites us to leave the past behind to search out new and different experiences. The Moon is in unconventional Aquarius, which is ideal for experimenting but not so great for sticking to the rules. The need for personal freedom and radical discovery can rattle those who love going to familiar places, listening to the same music and eating favorite comfort foods. However, breaking away from routine activities will enliven relationships, spiking ongoing partnerships with fresh perspectives and opening doors to meeting different kinds of people.

The Aquarius Moon opposes the Leo Sun on Saturday to create the Full Moon. Normally, this face-off between the two biggest bodies in the sky heightens emotions and can lead to breakdowns and breakthroughs. Alliances that have grown stale and stagnant will be challenged by sudden cravings for independence. The taste of freedom can become so desirable that it might even threaten to separate those who are totally committed to one another. But this emotional space is only meant to provide some breathing room so that we feel like we’re making real choices of our own free will instead of simply doing things out of habit or obligation. Fresh forms of fun help us discover unusual ways to share love with our partners or make it easier to connect with someone new.

Amorous Venus in audacious Leo is close to the Sun when the Moon opposes it, adding a dash of drama that doesn’t have to be taken too seriously. There are fresh breezes blowing that can transform old fears and challenges into learning experiences if we are willing to keep our hearts open to setting love on a new course.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 10th

This may be an emotionally turbulent day, even with the Moon in stabilizing Capricorn. We would be unwise to underestimate the intensity of the Moon’s square to unruly Uranus, opposition to warrior Mars and conjunction with passionate Pluto. A somber Moon-Saturn square later in the day would normally be sufficient to put a lid on the turmoil, but Mars is moving toward an opposition with Pluto which increases aggression and forceful resistance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There may be too much happening today to process everything, especially if you’re hearing conflicting stories. However, you’re not very receptive because you are afraid of being misled by someone else’s agenda, especially when you are on your own mission. It’s tempting to defend your right to maintain your individuality, but there isn’t as much at stake as you think, so pick your battles carefully before jumping into a fight.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you’re in the middle of someone else’s struggle today and you don’t want to be distracted by another melodrama. You might consider avoiding the conversation completely, but you realize that you can actually have a positive impact on the situation. You don’t need to come up with a solution and then sell your idea. In fact, all you have to do is listen to both sides of the argument. For now, sufficiently airing an issue could be enough to dissolve the tension.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You want to share your feelings with a trusted friend, but your harmless disclosure could inadvertently elicit an explosive reaction. You understand the necessity of exercising self-restraint today because you can sense the delicate balance of power. However, you’re still not interested in changing your mind now. Unfortunately, your current lack of flexibility might make a difficult situation worse. On the other hand, trying to meet another person halfway could produce mutual benefits.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be feeling an upwelling of anger today, yet it seems more intense than the situation would normally warrant. Although you want to express your frustration, you don’t want to deal with the emotional fallout. Play it cool and sidestep confrontation for now. Or ride your passion and say what’s in your heart no matter what. There’s no right or wrong answer; ultimately, it’s your decision to make.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might not show your feelings today in an attempt to avoid a possible meltdown, as your emotions pull you into the shadows. You are more accustomed to the light, making it challenging for you to figure out what’s currently happening. For now, don’t worry about making your point. It’s more important to concentrate on your emotions and to process them in real time, rather than wasting time explaining yourself to others.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You aren’t happy with the role that your friends have put you in now and you’re not sure how to get out of it. There are no quick and easy solutions to your dilemma, even if you are in touch with the group dynamics at play. You may be tempted to internalize another person’s struggle and treat it as if it were your own. However, it’s smarter to just steer clear of any melodrama that isn’t yours. Don’t worry about disappointing others; they’ll get over it sooner than you think.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Others know that you excel in the department of negotiation, so it’s no surprise that they would call on you for assistance now. As much as you might want to help, you have your own decisions to make today. Nevertheless, there’s still time to practice a bit of shuttle diplomacy, shuffling back and forth between the disagreeing parties. Your success depends on not getting too attached to any of the messages that you deliver.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your two key planets, Mars and Pluto, are pulling in opposite directions, placing you in the middle of an intense tug-of-war. You cannot just express the anger of warrior Mars because unrelenting Pluto will quickly even the score. Unfortunately, you cannot just walk away from the conflict, either. Ultimately, you must be as flexible as you can to get you through this tricky time.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t want to be drawn into an emotional squabble today yet it becomes more difficult to stay neutral, even if you try. You aren’t interested in choosing sides, for this tactic will only fuel an unnecessary conflict that wastes your time. Be an outspoken community member and talk about the pitfalls of supporting fearful negativity. Follow your own brand of spirituality and let your love light shine.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A relationship may be a major source of stress now as battle lines are drawn, making it harder to remain civil. You might prefer sorting out your differences through cool and calm communication, yet you can easily slip back into engaging in the needless drama. Instead of being forthright and expressing all your feelings today, act judiciously. A little bit of discretion goes a long way to settle everyone’s frazzled nerves.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s not easy to maintain objectivity today, even as you try to see the pros and cons of a co-worker’s plan. You think that you know what’s best and you aren’t afraid to tell everyone who asks. But rather than judging others, you are wiser to clean up your own act first. Making small improvements throughout the next several days is a better idea than wasting time blaming another person for your dilemma.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your friends may think that they’re helping you today, but you believe that their behavior is too controlling. However, it feels awkward to come right out and tell them to back off because that would just alienate your most supportive allies. Still, it may be time to dig in your heels by setting clear personal boundaries that enable you to feel truly independent.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, August 6th

The passionate Scorpio Moon puts us in touch with our feelings which are likely to be more intense than usual. With the right chemistry it can be exciting if our emotions merge with someone else’s, but we are frightened by the idea of being vulnerable because of today’s stressful Sun-Moon square. Yet, once we work through our resistance, we can be transformed by the magic of love as romantic Venus forms a creative connection with potent Pluto.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be able to see through the veneer of social niceties today, revealing someone’s fears that are usually kept safely hidden. You can sense an unspoken agenda, even if others act in a lighthearted manner. Your current intuitiveness might prompt you to retreat because you’re not sure that you want to engage on that level. But don’t withdraw too quickly; the person you thought was being negative could turn out to be your closest ally if you give him or her a chance.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be worried that a relationship won’t meet your expectations today. Instead of overcoming your fear and scheduling a memorable encounter, you might choose to just settle back into your familiar routine. However, this laid-back approach probably isn’t your best strategy and could leave you feeling disappointed with your choice. Taking the safest route now won’t necessarily help you reach your destination, so open up your heart and make the first move.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Today you may be confronted with an important piece of information that you previously overlooked. You might have innocently assumed that others would support your ideas and admire your creativity. Unfortunately, strong emotional undercurrents raise concerns as you try to comprehend the complexity of the situation. Don’t try to figure it all out now; the energy will shift tomorrow and you’ll gain a clearer understanding of your options.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You feel pretty even-keeled now, even if a little money problem comes to the surface that requires your immediate attention. You can try to analyze the situation and logically determine your best course of action, but your solution may not come through cool reason today. The best answers will arise more easily once you stop seeking them so desperately.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your life isn’t as carefree as others assume just because you make it appear as if you are having a lot of fun, even when you’re troubled. Your defense mechanisms can effectively hide a very deep well of feelings today. But just going through the motions isn’t very rewarding, so share some of what’s on your mind with someone you trust. If you’re having a hard time starting the conversation, write down your thoughts and use your notes to get the ball rolling.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you want to balance your desires with what others need, your good intentions could run into resistance today. It seems as if it would be easier to just gloss over your annoyance if you think that someone is keeping a secret. However your suspicion can turn into anger if you don’t voice your concerns. Ironically, you may be wrong about your hunch, but you’ll feel relieved once your fears are out in the open.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you try to maintain your cool today, you know big changes are coming that could impact your closest relationships. Even if the shift seems far away, you’re already feeling the pressure internally. Thankfully, you are able to find your way back to the center now if you concentrate on your core values instead of on external events. If you remain true to your highest ideals then everything else will, hopefully, fall into place.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You don’t need people to tell you what you already know, and anyone who is overly critical today may be rudely surprised at the intensity of your response. However, you don’t necessarily want to be alone; it’s just that you yearn for meaningful contact with your most supportive friends. Those who are seeking shallow social banter could get an earful when you share the truth as you see it. There’s no need to hold back now; just be ready to deal with the consequences of your honesty.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You aren’t interested in sharing your feelings today while the Moon visits your 12th House of Secrets. Even if others think that you’re baring your soul, you have more going on internally than they realize. In fact, your philosophical ramblings can cleverly hide the real juice. Keep in mind that you might not benefit from changing your tactics. It may be wiser to take the conversation to the next level only when you’re ready to be more vulnerable.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be more reserved in your conversations with others today as you reconsider what you really want from your relationships. Although you aren’t likely to isolate yourself completely, you’re wary about getting entangled with someone who might create unnecessary drama. Trust your instincts and be ready to walk away from a situation that could complicate your life without offering you any benefits.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You most likely have admirable intentions today, yet your plan may be thwarted through no fault of your own. Naturally, you cannot control all the variables in your surroundings, but you can take full responsibility for your response to a situation. Paradoxically, an overly positive reaction could be just as problematic as a very negative one. Avoiding emotional extremes enables you to make the best of these tricky circumstances.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your heightened awareness today puts you in touch with emotions that may be challenging to integrate. But denying your feelings can create a whole other set of problems. You could inadvertently disconnect from the source of your inspiration if you shut down your compassion. Thankfully, you’re able to move through your day gracefully as long as you remember to keep checking in with your heart.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Aug. 5th – Aug. 7th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

All or Nothing

August 5 – 7

Controlling your passion is a key to enjoying this weekend, which starts off with the Moon’s move into emotionally intense Scorpio on Friday morning. This lunar placement is all about desire and the craving for connection. But there’s a paradox within Scorpio’s nature — this sign can provoke risky personal behavior, but sometimes the depth of personal needs is so great that the tendency is to withdraw and hide from others. Being secretive, of course, does not earn trust, but blazing eyes and a hungry heart can frighten some people away.

Managing these extreme emotions well includes learning how and when to share them. Stop and consider the person you are with and his or her capacity to respond. There’s no sense in being overly seductive in a public place or with a shy individual who can be embarrassed by this kind of behavior. Profound interest in another can be expressed in subtle ways that allow you to move toward intimacy without making a big show of it. Seek out quiet places where whispered conversations and gentle touches cultivate the romantic connection you want.

The Moon’s placement in passionate Scorpio can also peel away layers of politeness and practicality to reveal what you want most from a partner. It’s hard to settle for less or to dance around emotions with this lunar position. You either want all of someone or nothing at all, making it less comfortable to engage in light chitchat or playful flirtations.

The mood lightens considerably on Sunday morning when the Moon fires into outgoing and optimistic Sagittarius, pulling you out of the deep emotional waters and lifting the heavy veils of intensity so playtime can begin. Relationship dramas fade so you can have the freedom to stretch your wings to explore new worlds or to embark on a fun adventure with the one you love.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for July 22 – 24

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Cozy Connections

July 22 – 24

There’s a mix of fiery adventurousness and earthy caution that affects your social life this weekend. This cosmic pattern emerges on Friday night when the Sun enters creatively courageous Leo while the Moon moseys into bucolic Taurus. Expect contrasting cues and fluctuating feelings as you shift between Leo’s desire to touch hearts and take chances in self-expression and Taurus’ preference to remain comfortable by staying grounded with predictable activities and people.

One thing these signs have in common is that they occupy the middle of their seasons, which makes them fixed signs, the stubborn ones that are the most resistant to change. Now that’s fine if you’re all set to cuddle up on the couch with your sweetie and not leave the house for two days. But if you’re in the real world dealing with real people, overcoming the childlike urge to stamp your feet and refusing to budge will go a long way to reducing conflict.

Still, everyone can enjoy the dramatic side of Leo by being more romantic than usual. Slowing down to communicate with greater focus and attention is one way to bring more passion to a relationship.

The Moon in comfort-seeking Taurus also favors a more easygoing pace as this sensual sign is made for enjoying life’s sweet delights. Good food, silky textures, soothing sounds and tender touch are especially alluring now. Simply spending time with someone you love outside in nature (or any comfortable setting) cultivates a cozy connection.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 20th

The air is charged with the potential for sudden change when the Moon pops into spontaneous Aries at 12:25 pm EDT. This shift is our monthly wake-up call to start another journey around the zodiac, yet the Moon’s conjunction with shocking Uranus releases stored tension like a bolt of lightning. Additionally, the Moon’s stressful square to shadowy Pluto reminds us that keeping secrets can backfire, even if there is a strategic reason to do so.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There is plenty of excitement today, yet you have no way of knowing what will happen next. Contrary to popular belief, you actually enjoy a bit of stability, but the routine can get to you, prompting you to crave dramatic change. However, you would prefer to be in control, but you might not be in charge now. Accept the challenge by letting go and trusting that someone else will step in and do the right thing.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Everyone seems to be acting strangely today as if they want more independence but are afraid to ask for it. You don’t want to prevent others from taking charge of their lives, but your insecurities might get in the way of your reaction. Don’t shy away from exploring your own fears now, for you may have lessons to learn about your irrational feelings. Taking the time to sort through your emotional process can help more than you think.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Unconventional ideas about your future can be upsetting to the status quo, yet you cannot stop thinking about them. You might even find that you enjoy the uncertainty as you eagerly plot your next move. However, it’s not beneficial to pick a path too quickly. In the meantime, research all the alternatives so you can make an educated choice. The more options you have now, the better the outcome will be when you’re finally required to choose your direction.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You feel a familiar discomfort if you respond impulsively now. Sometimes you miss a wonderful opportunity because you worry about making a wrong decision. Today, however, inaction is not your problem. You are excited and want to get started in a hurry. But if you act too soon, you may find yourself considering the roads not taken. It’s smarter to be cautious before you make your move; there’s not as much of a hurry as you might think.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are apt to lose your temper today if you think that someone is preventing you from doing a job your way. Or, your rash behavior could provoke someone else’s anger. Either way, remember that extreme feelings stem from a deeper imbalance and you won’t solve anything by just suppressing your emotions. A real solution comes from analyzing your assumptions and unraveling your logic so you can deal with the source of your motivation in a calm and reasonable manner.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Others may seem totally irrational today and their unexpected behavior can be very unsettling. However, the Moon’s entry into confrontational Aries gives you permission to express your concerns, even if it precipitates an argument. But don’t spend too much time questioning yourself and sorting through all your options. Your most reliable strategy now is to act first and ask questions later.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Taking a break from your work is a healthy thing to do now, especially if you have something to show for your recent efforts. Instead of focusing on your responsibilities, pay more attention to your personal life. Whether you’re seeking out a new relationship or trying to revitalize an old one, don’t be afraid to express your feelings as directly and succinctly as you can. Your honesty and clarity may be enough to create the fireworks you crave.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be in for a surprise today as the fiery Aries Moon-Uranus conjunction zaps your 6th House of Work. You don’t need to look for trouble; it will probably find you. However, any problems that come to the surface now are just revealing something that you’ve been trying to avoid. Don’t worry if things get out of hand for a while; circumstances will become more supportive, even if it takes a day or two for your stress to settle down.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t like receiving mixed messages because they make you feel as if you’re unable to respond properly. You enjoy the excitement of riding along on a rapidly moving current that’s carrying you to an unknown destination. However, your swift movement still can meet resistance today, which provokes you to push even harder. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to progress any faster, so avoid the temptation to rush the process. Ultimately, practicing patience is more productive now than forcing the issue.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The hectic pace increases throughout the day, making it difficult for you to find respite today. Although you’re drawn toward the action, you may feel frustrated if you cannot get resolution on an important dilemma now. But don’t turn an insignificant question into one of ultimate concern just to relieve your boredom. You don’t need any more distractions, so just be quiet and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t want to waste your time while waiting around for someone else, but you may also have your own delays to manage today. You know something big is about to happen, yet you don’t seem to be able to push things along. Unfortunately, you can frustrate yourself if you don’t change your perspective. Settling back into your comfort zone for a while won’t be difficult if you remember that the real fun is still on the way.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although the Moon leaves your sign midday, you still feel emotionally charged. Your morning moodiness can explode into a barrage of words if you think that your feelings aren’t being respected by your friends or co-workers. But you won’t reach satisfaction through dialogue now; talking about your concerns might only make matters worse. Instead of attempting to force change, focus on adjusting your own attitude. When your outlook improves, so will everything else.
