Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 15 – 17

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Easy, Breezy

July 15 – 17

A Full Moon in hyper-responsible Capricorn late on Thursday night tends to place productivity above pleasure as you’re reminded of your worldly obligations. Happily, for lovers and those seeking romance, the Moon floats into airy Aquarius on Friday afternoon to blow away accumulated worries. This friendly sign sets the mood for the weekend, making it easy to connect with people as conversations flow freely.

A non-judgmental atmosphere opens minds to all different styles of dress and entertainment. A more tolerant environment is great for exploring unusual individuals and unfamiliar experiences. Experimenting within a current partnership or when seeking a new romance reduces the pressure and increases interest.

You are able to strike a healthy balance between your need for adventure and a more mature approach to your obligations as the Moon aligns favorably with reliable Saturn on Saturday morning and with passionate Mars that night. But all this activity occurs in air signs that are more comfortable with ideas than emotions.

People may appear to be open and accessible, which is true to a degree, but you could come away with the feeling that you haven�t connected in a deep way. If you try to crowd someone or feel like a person is invading your personal space, politely step away and explain your need for a little privacy.

The weekend works best for those who like romance on a non-committal level, as if it’s a chance encounter of two ships passing in the night. Deep feelings and intimate moments are still possible; just don’t expect most people to be in the mood to deal with the sticky details of complicated emotions.

New Moon Report for July 14th – Full Moon in Capricorn

Full Moon in Capricorn

Thursday, July 14, 11:40 pm PDT, Friday, July 15, 2:40 am EDT

The Full Moon in determined Capricorn opposes the Sun in sensitive Cancer, raising issues of whether to toughen up to deal with the outer world or seek cover in warm and fuzzy places. But as with all oppositions, there is truth on both sides of the equation. Rather than choosing to ignore inner needs or running away from challenges because they’re too difficult, this lunation reminds us that we have a full spectrum of responses available and can learn to flow from fierce to fluffy as we choose.

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 13th

The moody Moon shifts into calculating Capricorn at 10:13 am EDT, reflecting our need to downplay our emotions, especially if they get in the way of our success. Although everything should be a bit quieter since we have no major planetary aspects prior to Friday’s early morning Full Moon, a difficult lunar square to irrepressible Uranus indicates a surprise. Additionally, the Moon joins shadowy Pluto to drag a dark secret out into the open.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are set on reaching your goals today and might not slow down if someone purposefully stands in your path. Unfortunately, confrontation isn’t the best way to respond. Recognize that you may be obsessive about whatever it is you desire to do, even if you simply want to rest. The truth is that it truly does make sense to relax now while you have the chance.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your stubbornness can land you in big trouble now, or it can serve you very well if you are already on your desired course. But you might just need a little help from your friends to steer you in the right direction, even if you think that you’re not interested in listening to their opinions. Don’t resist the sensible advice of a trustworthy workmate today; remind yourself to remain open to all the good ideas you hear.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel uncomfortably restrained by circumstances today, since you don’t have much leeway to express yourself creatively. You are being challenged to limit your thinking so your ideas will fit into the environmental constraints of the day. Even if it’s difficult, focusing your attention on a limited spectrum of possibilities may help you be more effective than you ever imagined.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Someone might get on your nerves now because it seems like he or she has a plan that doesn’t necessarily match up with your own. You lose patience when others assume that you’ll set your agenda aside to take care of them, even if you keep your true feelings quiet and just do it anyway. Common sense rules today, so stick to the most practical plan, regardless of who thought of it first.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have a hard time letting go of unresolved feelings today. You might not trust your senses, but everything finally seems ready to shift now. Others won’t likely notice the change, but that’s because they cannot see your inner workings. Nevertheless, you can’t keep up appearances much longer. Be careful; your frustration can alter the dynamics between you and your closest friends in a very subtle yet long-lasting manner.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could be leaving on a spiritual journey that’s just for you today. You are exploring ways to reclaim your power, but the current dynamics might not support your growth. Don’t try to manipulate circumstances in your favor. Your strength will return naturally as you rediscover your metaphysical center of gravity. Realign with your core values and exhibit the highest integrity possible in all that you do.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could be annoyed with yourself now because you didn’t let someone know exactly how you were feeling. Today you can gain clarity in a way that previously eluded you. Don’t question your analytical capabilities even if you are feeling incapable of integrating all the data at your fingertips. Worrying about your next move is a waste of energy, but staying in the present moment and observing your feelings has a direct, positive impact on your future.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be in a position now to receive emotional support that’s long overdue. Don’t try to avoid change, whether or not anyone comes forward to offer personal assistance today. Even with extra demands being placed on you, it feels as if your world has become a friendlier place. You may need to set aside an unresolved relationship issue, but there’s no reason to continue worrying. Instead, concentrate on keeping your balance as the big waves wash through your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are relieved that things aren’t so hectic today because there are a few serious issues to handle. Unfortunately, you may be missing important information, but you’re willing to dig around for it. It’s not easy to relax now because there are so many different avenues that lead to fun and adventure. Nevertheless, everyone requires a bit of downtime, so accept any peace and quiet as a gift from the cosmos.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are most content when your feet are firmly planted on stable ground. You like to know when to take your next step and exactly where you’re going. Although you may be feeling uncharacteristically uncertain today, it won’t last long. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy expressing yourself when the Moon washes through your sign. But you cannot afford to get lazy; do your planning now instead of waiting until you’re in the middle of the next storm.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You usually choose trusting your mind over relying on your heart when making decisions; however, the tables are turning now. You like the idea of intimacy and may be willing to sacrifice some hard-core data for an opportunity to intensify a relationship. You’ve been thinking about pushing past your resistance for a while, but powerful emotions can still make you uncomfortable. Remember, although you aren’t required to share everything all at once, it’s a good time to start turning fantasies into reality.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s smart to involve your friends and co-workers in your planning process now, for group participation makes your day more enjoyable and efficient. Others may enter the picture with important keys to your future, and if you don’t welcome their presence, you’ll never know what might have been possible. Don’t allow old fears of failure to sabotage your current dreams by discouraging you before you even start.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 9th

Yesterday’s intensity continues, yet our emotions may be easier to manage today. The Moon shifts into controlling Scorpio at 2:31 am EDT, helping us to contain our passions, while an early morning sextile from romantic Venus to expansive Jupiter pushes us to break out of our shells. A supportive sextile from logical Mercury to stabilizing Saturn sustains steady growth if we stop long enough to make a plan, instead of rushing ahead too soon.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your impulsive reactions may create unnecessary trouble today, especially if you don’t acknowledge someone’s existing boundaries. There are times when it’s acceptable to push back against another person’s resistance, but it must be done in a thoughtful manner. Stop to consider if you may be stepping out of line. A healthy relationship depends upon your ability to respect your partner’s needs for personal space.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be quite optimistic today because your ruling planet Venus receives a positive attitude adjustment from joyful Jupiter. But anyone who actually takes the time to communicate with you quickly realizes that you’ve given serious thought to your current position. Others may be surprised by how practical your analysis is now. Nevertheless, it’s still a good idea to step through your plan one more time prior to taking action.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Reality comes back into focus slowly today, and it could take a few more days before your feet are both on the ground again. Nevertheless, you are tempted to milk an opportunity for all it can offer. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make a special moment last longer, but it’s also wise to pay attention to the cues you receive from others. Balancing your current desire to have fun with following a more serious agenda will give you the best of both worlds.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your immediate environment feels more spacious today, giving you enough room to contemplate your feelings without judgmental restrictions by others. But this current openness may be daunting if you decide to share your thoughts, because you might not be able to figure out when to stop. Thankfully, you can use your common sense to balance your need for connection with your desire to be alone.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may believe that you’re being adaptable, you’re more fixed than you realize today. Unfortunately, sticking to your original agenda might bring more frustration than happiness, especially if you pass up an interesting opportunity because of your lack of flexibility. Ultimately, it’s about trusting the process; letting go of control could turn an uncomfortable situation into a positive one.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are happily surprised by the easy flow of feelings today, but you might feel challenged to maintain a cool analytical approach to your goals. Your subjectivity may have more impact than you wish, leading you to compensate by retreating into the safety of your logic. Although you are probably more comfortable trusting your thoughts rather than your emotions, shielding yourself from the uncertainties of your desires can also lessen the joy they bring.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus receives a boost from jolly Jupiter now, lifting your spirits higher and higher. Although you want to be indulged by someone you like, there may be a reason why you won’t allow yourself to let loose and have fun. As crucial as it is to live up to your promises and fulfill your responsibilities, it’s also important to recognize that you will have more to offer others in the long run if you take some time to enjoy yourself today.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your sign brings wide mood swings, and you aren’t sure whether to feel happy or sad because each new opportunity also presents a serious obstacle. Fortunately, you should be able to work within the limits of nearly any situation now, as long as you don’t greedily expect something for nothing. Be willing to do the serious thinking, detailed planning and heavy lifting required to make the most of the present moment.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Much of what’s happening for you is hidden from others now, although they may think they know what you are experiencing. Fortunately, you realize that it’s wise to keep some of your feelings quiet, even though buoyant Jupiter helps you put on a great show of love and support. Don’t feel responsible to explain your thoughts to anyone today; it will be easier to discuss your secret worries next week.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You aren’t happy about dealing with someone if you know that he or she isn’t being honest with you. You intuitively sense when others are hiding their feelings, but you can’t confront them now or they’ll get defensive and slip deeper into denial. Your lesson now is to learn how to live with uncertainty. You won’t likely hear the rest of the story for a few days, so be patient and take comfort in knowing that you will discover the truth in time.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like the positive vibes coming your way today because it feels as if others are encouraging you to be yourself. However, you can’t put your finger on something that doesn’t feel quite right. Unfortunately, you only grow more frustrated as you struggle to discover what you don’t know — especially because you actually might not be missing anything at all. There’s nothing you need to do now; your weird sense of uncertainty will pass. In the meantime, accept the support that you receive with humility and grace.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are in a smooth emotional flow today, but you aren’t sure where the currents are heading. Thankfully, your destination isn’t what’s important; what matters is that you stay as open as possible so you can fully experience each moment. But this isn’t about escaping from responsibilities, for you still must fulfill your obligations. Don’t overanalyze what’s happening; your primary job now is to stay in touch with what’s in your heart.

New Moon Report for July 9th – Uranus Retrograde

Uranus Retrograde

Saturday, July 9

Revolution begins within when this radical planet turns retrograde. Freedom is not something that’s measured by what others allow us to do but comes from the liberty that we give ourselves. Uranus’ 5-month reversal could delay some external breakthroughs, but helps us recognize resistance so that we can free ourselves from self-imposed limitations.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 8th

The socially astute Libra Moon encourages us to look before we leap. Nevertheless, we’re so eager to have the thrill of a memorable experience that we may forget to consider the feelings of someone we love. Meanwhile, gentle Venus in tender Cancer opposes domineering Pluto in stern Capricorn, engaging us in a deep emotional conflict that can alter our feelings. This intense combination can result in a power struggle unless we relinquish control.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you are eager to love, you may be too quick to fix whatever is wrong today. Your desire to make everything okay can lead you to miss the best part of a relationship. Rather than immediately taking control, it’s healthier to open your heart as wide as you can and simply feel what’s happening — without doing anything at all. Naturally, you want to show others that you care, but you could create more intimacy now by revealing your vulnerability.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s not easy for you to share your feelings today, since your needs could get lost in all the busyness of the day if you don’t make time to connect with someone at work. Keep in mind that the most important communication probably won’t be written or spoken. Your true message will emanate lovingly from your heart without any expectations. If you can avoid making demands on others, they will be more likely to give you their love and appreciation on their own accord.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Ironically, the smartest way to acknowledge the significance of a current relationship today is to withdraw a little to give the other person some space. This is not the best day to present your demands or to assume that you know what’s ahead. Steer clear of any unnecessary confrontations over who is the boss. Just accept others for who they are and be secure in your own position. Save the heavy processing for another day when the atmosphere is more conducive to constructive dialogue.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Sexy Venus in your sign naturally amplifies your desires, but her opposition to passionate Pluto makes it more difficult to share your feelings. You might believe that you’re trapped and that you won’t be able to find a path to satisfaction. However, this is not the time to give up. Take a risk and share your needs with someone you trust, but don’t blame anyone else for your current predicament. Obstacles won’t seem so overwhelming if you speak directly from your heart and take full responsibility for your emotions.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may appear bright and cheery to others, yet there could be a challenging story that’s hiding behind your friendly smile. You think that you’re doing the right thing by sharing positive vibes, rather than spreading discouragement or anger. However, you pay a price for withholding what’s important to you, and your suppressed negativity might just find a way to circle around and kick you from behind. Seek healthy ways to express your truth, so you can shine even brighter than before.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t like feeling coerced to express a certain point of view today. Your impulse probably isn’t to fight back, but to resist passively by keeping your thoughts to yourself. Be careful; if you bend under pressure and act in a politically expedient manner, you’ll feel the weight of the circumstances lean on you harder. But you can be strong now and support those who need it, while still going on the record with your own point of view.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your sense of power is not derived from anything you do today; actually, it’s more dependent on what you don’t do. You can make your point most effectively now by withdrawing your support from someone and simply focusing your efforts somewhere else. An open confrontation won’t bring resolution, so avoid going to emotional extremes until you can regain your objectivity.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be feeling pressured by an emotional conflict that has been hovering dangerously at the edge of eruption. But don’t get hooked by someone else’s issues. Remember that your jealousy or envy is likely based on your habitual insecurities and fears. You can overcome the immediate threat by being grateful for the abundance of blessings in your life, instead of worrying that there’s not enough for you to get what you want.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might stay in perpetual motion today to avoid an uncomfortable issue. But it’s not a sensible strategy to distract yourself so you don’t have to admit that something is out of balance in your life. You would be wise to take a bit of quiet time to reconnect with your inner world, even if your schedule is very busy. Once you get in touch with yourself, share your feelings with someone you trust. Your disclosure may be exactly the catalyst you need now to break out of a rut.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A close relationship can be a source of worry today, especially if the balance of power isn’t just right. You don’t want to be controlled by someone else’s agenda. Even if you’re the one who is making the rules, a lack of equality can destabilize a partnership. Don’t make assumptions now about who is in charge; talking it out can help to bring things back into harmony.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may see the weekend ahead as a chance to retreat. But your spiritual quest might need to be put on hold as you grapple with the complexity of a relationship that has grown overly intense. Nevertheless, allowing for some cooling off time could be wiser than pushing your way into an emotional mess that won’t be easy to manage. But this dilemma is not about avoiding crucial issues; rather, it’s all about finding your own center.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Strong passions may blast up to the surface, transforming a casual interaction into an intense emotional battlefield. Or, your profound feelings could lure you into an intricate dance with someone you love. In either case, this isn’t a lighthearted time. Fortunately, you can assure a more positive outcome for everyone involved by changing the rules of the game and making it non-competitive.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 8 – 10

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Into the Deep

July 8 – 10

The mood-setting Moon’s presence in partner-oriented Libra adds an air of style and grace on Friday. However, the people-pleasing skills and polite gestures of this sign may mask a simmering discontent that can undermine relationships if it’s not brought out into the open.

Loving Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, opposes deep, dark Pluto, taking us to the depths of desire and into the shadows of self-doubt. We are especially sensitive to how others treat us, anticipating rejection even when we’re being praised. Yet this descent is really an exploration of unexpressed needs. It can serve to provoke necessary change in a current alliance or stimulate adjustments of style, taste and attitude to help in the pursuit of a new partner.

Happily, Friday evening closes with Venus’ favorable 60-degree sextile to generous Jupiter, which can end the day on high notes of hope and optimism. Yet sweeping negative feelings under the carpet is unlikely to work with the Moon in emotionally intense Scorpio on Saturday. This is the sign of “all or nothing” that either pushes partnerships to more meaningful levels of connection or starts building up walls to keep others out.

A key thing to remember is to remain calm and kind if moods turn south. There might even be opportunities to share the most intimate experiences for those unafraid to go deeper. Frivolous activities are less likely to be fulfilling than complex ones in which we are forced to face more serious issues. Intense physical activities and emotionally demanding movies, music and art can be so much more invigorating and inspiring now than keeping things easy, breezy and light.

Daily Horoscopes for July 6th

We receive stabilizing support from ambitious Saturn’s easy trine to assertive Mars because we’re able to see results from what we do today. It’s wise to use this energy to consciously start a project now without taking any shortcuts. Meanwhile, the discriminating Virgo Moon reminds us that perfection is worth attaining. Although we may become so hung up in the details as we consider each alternative, the answers won’t come from logical analysis.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although this has been a high-intensity week, you’re ready to settle down and get some work done as your key planet Mars is motivated by taskmaster Saturn. Thankfully, the discriminating Virgo Moon helps you limit unnecessary activities. Rather than wasting time and scattering your energy, focus on the variety of things you have to do now. Even if it’s difficult for you to commit to a schedule, today it is required.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may breathe a sigh of relief now that the Moon is in fellow Earth sign Virgo. A familiar wave of practicality washes away the heightened intensity of the past few days. But this is no time to get lazy, for there is still so much to do. Fortunately, your actions seem to be on target today, enabling you to accomplish what must be done.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are pulled in several directions as you sort out the most productive way to move through your busy day. Although you’re eager for experiences that pique your curiosity, you don’t have enough time to take everything in. You may be quite talkative and wish that you could interact with nearly everyone you meet, but you must make tough choices and limit your activities. Finding balance isn’t easy, yet thinking carefully about your decisions before you make them assures the best possible outcome.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Others may not be able to see past your hard-working exterior today, but your emotions are running strong and deep. You’ll feel better once you take a few deep breaths and give yourself some time to contemplate what works best for you. Otherwise, you’ll just get swept up into doing what’s expected, even if it means hiding what’s truly important to you now. If anyone pressures you to do anything that’s outside of your comfort zone, set clear boundaries before things become more complicated.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A melodrama is beginning to fade while your common sense grows stronger by the hour. You have no interest in being waylaid by anyone’s emotionally intense story today, especially one that appears to go nowhere useful. Instead, apply your efforts toward making your day more efficient. Work hard, but once you meet your obligations, choose rest over frivolous activities. Conserving your energy is wise because it will take you longer than a day or two to finish your project.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to your sign is a strong reminder today that efficiently managing your internal world is a necessary part of putting your external affairs in order. Today’s attitude sets the stage for what’s ahead and if you let yourself become overwhelmed, things will only get harder to handle as the days fly by. But positive thinking isn’t enough; hard work is your most reliable tactic to achieve success.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You aren’t eager to reveal your innermost feelings today, but thankfully others might not even notice that you’re hiding something. It isn’t that you have big dark secrets; you’re just trying to prevent your relationships from growing more complicated. Consider the potential impact of what you do prior to taking action. Practicing a bit of self-restraint now is easier than dealing with the negative consequences afterward.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends may be overly critical about your work today as the Moon finishes up her stay in your social 11th house. Fortunately, you are self-assured now, enabling you to use the valuable feedback you receive without getting discouraged by anyone else’s judgments. Utilizing your common sense helps you avoid taking any comments too personally.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You want everyone to accept your authority today as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Public Status. However, it isn’t enough to be right; you also want others to appreciate you for your intelligence and your competence. Still, it’s tempting to get sidetracked by big ideas, so keep your plans simple and then do your best to make them real.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Ironically, it’s easier to have fun today if you also have responsibilities that demand your attention. Even if you cannot act on the spur of the moment to join others in a playful activity, you can include time for socializing into your schedule. As paradoxical as it sounds, establishing an agenda allows you to be more spontaneous.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to focus on your work today when you have so much self-analysis going on in your own mind. You are smart to channel your internal noise into creative pursuits, rather than just wasting your energy. Don’t be concerned if others think you are too serious now. You have pressing matters to handle that don’t leave you with a lot of time to engage in social niceties. Your actions will speak for you, instead.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may want to do things your own way today, you’ll get along better with everyone if you respect the perspectives of others. Don’t get so wrapped up in your own work that you cannot be sensitive to someone else. But there’s no reason to set aside your own needs in deference to the preferences of your workmates. Finding common ground enables you to do your own thing while still following the rules of the game.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 5th

On one hand, today’s efficient Virgo Moon narrows our thinking and focuses our attention on the smallest details. On the other hand, rational Mercury forms a stressful square with expansive Jupiter, inflating molehills into mountains. We can turn passing thoughts into grandiose plans or fleeting ideas into belief systems. Still, we won’t get away with sloppy logic because Mercury aligns with punishing Pluto, forcing us to rethink our conclusions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are tempted to turn every little insignificant idea into a world of unlimited potential. You can, as William Blake wrote, “see infinity in a grain of sand.” But reaching for the stars doesn’t mean that you will actually reach them. Nevertheless, just extending yourself beyond your normal limits can create opportunities that will lead you to a more fulfilling life.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter what you do to keep yourself on task today, you might not be able to resist an offer that sounds better than it is. Thankfully, you also need some personal space now, so you might be able to maintain a bit of distance between you and someone who entices you with a good idea. Don’t withdraw completely; just stay aware of what could happen if you leave your work undone.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury has you on a mental tilt-a-whirl today and it can be tricky to keep your bearings. Riding a wave of enthusiasm is fun, but you also have serious business to attend to now. Fortunately, your analytical powers are strong if you can remember to balance pleasure with practicality. But don’t try to take any shortcuts; managing your time wisely will pay off in the long run.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel stuck if your emotions aren’t in harmony with your experiences today, and your growing impatience provokes you to justify your impulsive actions. Your highly opinionated manner and apparent self-confidence might be a way to hide your fear, but you could take things too far if you’re not careful. Take a deep breath and bring yourself back to your center before your unsubstantiated facts land you in a pile of trouble.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your dilemma today stems from needing to find a healthy balance between overly cautious planning and acting recklessly. Thankfully, your organizational skills are operating efficiently today, enabling you to handle a lot of information. Nevertheless, pay attention to the practical constraints on your time and energy. You can be a star if you practice some self-discipline before you’re overcommitted.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your approach to others can be very outgoing today, yet you would prefer to show more self-restraint. But the Moon in your sign could make you overly talkative, especially with perceptive Mercury in the spotlight. Don’t squander your mental resources; using words sparingly will give them extra impact. Remember, rambling on endlessly about your latest idea is not the best way to accomplish your goals. Do more and say less.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are clear about your current responsibilities, but you don’t necessarily want to follow through on them. Part of your problem now is that you might think everything should be easier than it really is. Believing that you’ll magically find a shortcut through the hard work could lead you to waste time looking for a quick fix. Conserve your energy for doing what’s actually necessary to get to the finish line.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Stay away from philosophical or political debates today because you could actually be arguing with yourself, and not with anyone else. At times it might even be difficult to tell which side you’re on. However, you’re not really flip-flopping on the issues; it’s just that you can see multiple solutions that are sensible. Nevertheless, it’s better now to wait before committing to any one position.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have a lot to do today because busy Mercury activates your key planet Jupiter in your 6th House of Work. Although it’s crucial to make positive changes in your daily routine, it’s not helpful to turn your whole world upside down. It can be tricky because it’s so easy for you to be distracted now by almost anything. Keep in mind that managing what’s on your plate currently is more important than dreaming about the future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re often the champion of organization and planning because you can maintain a healthy perspective under pressure. Typically, you are able to calculate what needs to be done to achieve your goals. Today, however, your reality filter may be a bit off as everything seems to have greater potential than it actually does, so it’s wise to avoid making impulsive decisions. Thankfully, a bit of consideration goes a long way, so think twice and give your answer once, after your common sense returns.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could set up a friend for disappointment today if you don’t establish limits on how much you’re willing to help. Your mind is racing and you’re tempted to agree to nearly anything just to quiet your worry. Unfortunately, this kind of logic won’t really solve the problem. Instead of taking the easy way out and then being unable to fulfill your promises, say what you’re truly feeling. The real answers now won’t likely be rational because they will come from your heart.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your schedule may be overbooked today and this might turn into a real problem. Only one appointment needs to run late and your whole day could fall apart. Instead of setting yourself up for a disaster, take a more flexible approach. Something as simple as leaving extra time between events may be enough to prevent a major mess later on.

General Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 4th

There’s a strange mix of tradition and exploration in relationships this week. Loving Venus is now in conventional Cancer, spurring desire for security. Yet her tense aspects with experimental Uranus and extreme Pluto make it hard to feel safe, as rapidly changing feelings and intense emotions bring drama to our personal lives.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon in your relationship houses pushes partnership issues into the spotlight this weekend. Friday evening can start on emotionally shaky ground and end up feeling like a party. But you don’t get to play and run this time because the Scorpio Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy attracts complex partners who may want more than you’re willing to give. Being honest about your limitations is the best policy right from the start.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could have a hard time this weekend finding the simplicity and comfort you enjoy so much. The Moon is traveling through the deep waters of Scorpio, taking relationships to exciting but dangerous territory. Feelings may be exposed that alter the nature of a partnership, but the emotional journey can help you recognize what you really need in order to find happiness with another person.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your easy breezy attitude is usually very appealing to others, but it isn’t the secret sauce to heat up your love life this weekend. Being willing to share your fears may not sound sexy, but if your vulnerability is sincere, it could strengthen an ongoing relationship or help you start a new one. There’s no need to rush; take your time to process the powerful feelings that are emerging now and let things unfold naturally.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Passion is pulling you very strongly this weekend. Magnetic Venus opposes potent Pluto on Friday and the erotic Scorpio Moon is activating your 5th House of Romance. Your powers of seduction are higher than usual so there’s no need to wait for someone else to make the first move. Coming on strong and expressing your desires may feel uncomfortable at first, but others find your newfound assertiveness to be refreshingly sexy.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This weekend isn’t the best time to be brassy and sassy. It’s much more interesting (and real) to allow your vulnerability to rise to the surface. Self-pity and complaining aren’t attractive, but a truthful expression of your needs and concerns can earn you trust. Investing emotionally in a meaningful connection will be more rewarding now than keeping things light.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The purpose of using your impeccable logic this weekend is to discuss powerful emotional issues, instead of inventing ways to avoid them in your mind. You can untie knots of misunderstanding when you’re willing to talk about delicate matters without getting bogged down in blame or guilt. Seeking to solve problems now by engaging in constructive dialogue is healthier than ignoring the situation any longer.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel disappointed in a person close to you on Friday as your key planet Venus is opposed by suspicious Pluto. Yet this can be a perfect opportunity to dig in to an issue that you’ve been previously unwilling to face. Confronting the truth is a courageous act that will either heal the relationship or give you the strength to help you pursue love with someone else.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon traveling through your sign this weekend stirs up your hunger for intimacy. It’s still not unreasonable to be afraid of going after who and what you want, but doing nothing is even more dangerous now. Silence will isolate you, while speaking up, even if it’s a struggle, can clear the air and restore trust or convince you that it’s time to move on.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your easygoing and friendly nature is usually delightful and garners plenty of positive attention. But the Moon is hanging out in your secretive 12th House this weekend, which requires a more subtle approach to self-expression. Quiet conversations in out-of-the-way places will do more for your love life now than partying hardy and playing hard.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Complicated friends and passionate pals play active roles in your personal life this weekend. The Moon lighting up your 11th House of Groups is ideal for going out with a gang of people. Yet no matter how exciting things get, knowing when to keep silent might be more important than anything you say. Choose your words and companions carefully now so things don’t get messy later on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The freedom and independence you normally crave could be hard to come by this weekend. The Moon enters intense Scorpio late on Friday, which can bring out the clingy sides of people. Don’t allow yourself to be cornered or manipulated by anyone, but if you desire intimacy, you may have to lose yourself in the mysterious world of emotions to find it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s amazing how you can use your powers of persuasion with such subtlety this weekend. You have a very good chance of getting your way without anyone feeling like you’re tricking them. You don’t even have to explain your motives unless you want to now. Leaving an air of mystery around you only makes you more captivating to others.

New Moon Report for July 3 – Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer

Sunday, July 3, 9:17 pm PDT, Monday, July 4, 12:17 am EDT

Love’s leading planet grows tender and self-protective in cuddly Cancer. The urge to return to familiar sources of comfort is an understandable reaction to outside pressure and internal insecurities. However, during the next nine days, Venus will follow the Sun’s rocky road of tense connections with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn to shake up relationships and self-worth. Finances could prove tricky, requiring innovation and flexibility since standing still or retreating might be even more costly.

Overview of July Horoscope 2011

July Horoscope 2011

by Jeff Jawer

Let Go and Grow

July starts with the New Moon in cautious Cancer, which normally spurs sensitivity, sentimentality and an interest in holding onto the past. Memories occupy minds and hearts when attending to current domestic issues, which are likely to be more important. Stressful aspects from unpredictable Uranus, strict Saturn and pungent Pluto make it hard to feel secure. A desire to back away from present challenges, though, is at best a temporary escape rather than a solution to real issues.

This yearning for yesteryear lessens a bit on July 2 when communicative Mercury enters bold and outspoken Leo. This transit, lasting until the 28th, is excellent for humorous expression and creative ideas. Sure, we can go a little over the top with self-indulgent concepts and egocentric ways of talking. Yet if we avoid taking ourselves or others too seriously, we can enjoy the entertaining show of minds exploring new territory and feel inspired for the future.

Cancer the Crab’s connection to safe and familiar people and places gets more support when loving Venus enters this sign on July 4. The planet of romance seeks safety instead of adventure in Cancer, making it hard to experiment in matters of style and of the heart. Nostalgia paints beautiful pictures of the past that cover up much of its imperfections. Idealizing an old partnership is only helpful if you can take a lesson from it and apply it to your present life. Venus in Cancer is a time for adults to recognize that needs may be real but they can also grow and change over time, which is what really keeps love alive.

A powerful trine between expansive Jupiter and potent Pluto on July 7 can deepen conviction and beliefs. However, their strength and the ability to build a life based on them require careful examination. Truth, like love, is alive with growth and change. Don’t be afraid to doubt what you know as this transit will reward those who examine their truths and limit individuals who refuse to question them.

The Full Moon in crusty Capricorn on July 15 is a faceoff between duty (Capricorn) and instinct (Cancer). Finding balance between discipline and emotion is the lesson of this security testing lunation. On the 23rd the Sun strides into noble Leo, opening hearts and expanding pride. Leo’s drama may increase with Venus’ entry into the sign on the July 28. This transit kicks romance into higher gear for those willing to invest themselves fully into it, but it can disappoint those seeking heartfelt connections who are unable to take the risks required to achieve them. A dash of rationality returns with mental Mercury’s move into analytic Virgo, adding needed logic to these dramatic times.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 1

The nurturing Cancer New Moon at 4:53 am EDT is a Solar Eclipse, marking a powerful turning point in our relationships. The eclipse’s stressful aspects to radical Uranus, karmic Saturn and intense Pluto raise the stakes in every emotional interaction. We may feel as if we’re being bounced around in stormy seas, yet our flexibility helps us conserve our energy for later. Patience may be our best strategy when responding to these strong currents.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The resistance you face can stop you in your tracks today, but it’s crucial that you don’t give up on a good idea. If you initially miss the lesson you’re being taught, slow down and listen carefully to what’s being said. The obstacles are more easily handled once you accept that they are there for a reason. Ironically, it’s less important to reach your destination now than it is to fine-tune your plans.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you probably have a very busy day ahead of you, it still may be hard to get going. Even after you begin your day’s work, you’re tempted to get by with doing less. But your energy builds and you’ll be ready to overcome anything that stands in your path once you find your pace. Just remember that you’re not the only one with an ambitious agenda. Getting the facts from another point of view can change your perspective and increase your options.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tempting to waste the day running around in circles just trying to keep up with everything. But you may not get anywhere unless you’re willing to take some time for contemplation today. Be careful, for your current strategy should not be thought of as a retreat. You must stabilize the progress you already made because you could jeopardize your success if you continue to move too fast. Remember, reaching your goals is more like running a marathon than a sprint.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse can be a harbinger of an energetic shift within your family. You could bury your head in the sand and be totally surprised by what happens, or you can co-create your future by living the change you seek. Start by sitting down and writing a list of resolutions, as if it is New Year’s Day. Focusing your intentions during the eclipse plants significant seeds of thought in your fertile imagination.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse falls in your 12th House of Endings, revealing an unusual blending of two cycles, since the New Moon is like a fresh start. But beginning something new prior to completing old business can be problematic. Allow the current process to play out naturally or you might miss your chance. Your best bet is to stay aware of the interrelationship between what you are finishing and what you want to do next.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel isolated today as the moody Cancer Eclipse shakes your 11th House of Community. At first, people that you usually count on are not as accessible as you wish. Fortunately, your true friends will come through just in time with the support that you need. Don’t draw the wrong conclusions prematurely; give others the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the worst.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel the pressure to make a career move today as the Solar Eclipse activates your professional 10th house. But a minor family crisis may add stress to your day, especially if you’re already not seeing eye to eye with another family member. You might not be happy about how someone tries to control the situation now, but you should heed the smart advice, rather than throwing out an idea just because it makes you uncomfortable.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This caring New Moon Eclipse in softhearted Cancer helps you build emotional continuity, although it may come with a component of drama. You may be happy to know who you are and where you are heading. But your perspective can be so intense that you feel as if you must stand up for your beliefs. You need to tread extra carefully now, for you could inadvertently provoke a conflict by resorting to aggressive behavior. Try channeling your passion into physical activities instead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might be a bit uncertain as today’s Solar Eclipse evokes a sense of discomfort by pushing you to explore feelings that you would rather forget. Don’t belittle a friend’s melodrama by judging it as unimportant just so you don’t have to get involved. Your willingness to partake in a meaningful dialogue may be just what’s needed to take a relationship to a new level of intimacy.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

An overly emotional interaction with a friend or partner today reveals that he or she has more going on now than you previously thought. You can tell that there’s a suppressed power issue in the background, but you don’t know what to do about the imbalance. If you confront it head-on, you could make matters worse. But if you let it slide, you may end up contributing to the weird energy. The conversation might be awkward at first, but if you can talk about your uneasiness without blaming anyone else you will be able to make a positive difference.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t think that you’re harboring any resentments about your job, but it’s still not easy to let go of an unresolved hurt. Fortunately, you have a pretty good grasp of the source of your current negativity and it’s up to you now to clear the air. Be open to receiving helpful support from those who love you. Leaning on your friends and family gives you the strength to process your feelings and get on with the real work at hand.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can finally stand firmly on the ground again after an extended period of uncertainty. But things are not as they seem and your foundation might not be as strong as you once thought. Don’t get hooked into overcompensating today; there’s really no good reason to flaunt your confidence. Nothing is gained by setting up a competitive dynamic where others are threatened by your success. Softening your stance now helps to relieve tensions and bring harmony back into your relationships.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 1 – 3

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

New Moon, New Approach

July 1 – 3

The weekend starts off with a cosmic Big Bang as the Cancer New Moon on Friday morning is a powerful Solar Eclipse. The safety and security sought in this sensitive sign may be hard to locate with shocking Uranus probing Pluto and constraining Saturn making tense contacts to this Sun-Moon conjunction.

We�re not likely to find much comfort as sudden changes of circumstances and shifting moods have destabilizing effects. Unresolved emotional issues that have long been kept under wraps may surface and trigger very strong feelings. Blame, pity and guilt often arrive under these planetary conditions, yet they need to be gently set aside as none help relieve suffering or restore trust. Taking responsibility for ourselves with a commitment to learn and grow is a much more rewarding response that can put a relationship back on more solid ground.

Although the bigger issues that have been awakened aren�t going to disappear overnight, the Moon�s shift into enthusiastic Leo will brighten the mood on Saturday. It�s a time to look forward with creativity and confidence rather than looking back with trepidation, fearing the past will repeat itself.

Celebrating life with an open heart and a generous spirit allows us to give more to others and receive more in return. Pride might become a stumbling block if we take ourselves too seriously now. We can be competent without keeping score so carefully that we start competing with one another. Adopting a playful approach to our relationships helps to heal wounded hearts and begins the process of restoring more joy to our personal lives.

New Moon for July 1 – New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer

Friday, July 1, 1:54 am PDT, 4:54 am EDT

This New Moon in protective Cancer is a very powerful Solar Eclipse. Instead of planting seeds of security in our gardens of desire, we are challenged to break up the old soil of expectations about what will make us safe and happy. Cancer wants closeness and continuity but eclipses break patterns, especially when forming stressful 90-degree squares with volatile Uranus. Yet while Uranus sparks surprises, constraining Saturn and transformational Pluto also form tense aspects to the New Moon. Pressure is building that can affect major institutions, individuals and the environment and is best met with innovation, passion and commitment. Being a well-prepared and patient agent of change will radically improve lives while desperately holding onto the past can be futile and frustrating.

We may feel a sense of loss or disorientation with this Solar Eclipse, but it is time to burn some bridges with the past. However, we don’t need to erase all memories of what has come before. This New Moon is a clear signal that bold methods and beliefs are more likely to sustain personal growth and collective survival than returning to outmoded ideas.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 30

The Moon’s shift into emotionally sensitive Cancer at 12:12 pm EDT prods us to reflect on our need for security. But we can overreact just like the Crab at the seashore — we’re afraid of being washed away by the changing tides as we approach tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse. Meanwhile, the Moon forms difficult aspects with erratic Uranus and potent Pluto, bringing intense emotions to the surface that provoke worry about losing control of our lives.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be panicking because you think that you’re running out of time, but it’s smarter to wait a day or two before taking any drastic measures. Don’t overreact; it’s not the best time to rush ahead and show everyone how well you can handle an emergency. There’s no need to try to inspire others with your courage. Instead of mustering up false bravado, observe your emotions without trying to prove anything.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You probably have quite a lot to do, but others may not realize how busy you are today. You’re not interested in being in the spotlight now, so working quietly behind the scenes suits your mood. However, it’s not that you’re purposefully trying to avoid recognition; you just don’t want to waste energy seeking attention. There’s nothing wrong with graciously accepting acknowledgement for your contribution.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your moods are rapidly fluctuating today and every time you make up your mind something happens and your feelings shift again. You could be overly concerned with how others interpret your instability now, but you don’t really have the ability to change their perceptions. Instead of trying to fix something that’s beyond your control, concentrate on being true to your values. Wait to share your opinions until your emotions settle down.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s return to your sign today can fill you with pride or it can raise fears that you would prefer to avoid. Either way, be ready to go on a ride. It’s best to handle your feelings as they arise or they will just get in the way of the next emotional cycle that starts after tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse. Relinquish your expectations; maintaining an open mind will help to make everything flow smoother.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s okay to keep to yourself today, for you could benefit from some quiet time to listen to your heart. It can be challenging to hear your own voice if you’re busy running around for everyone else. It’s not your fault if people are pushing you to perform. Instead of feeling like a dancing bear in a circus, do what’s best for you now. Others will probably forgive your current need for privacy once you show them what you accomplished.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might confuse others with your scattered energy today and inadvertently draw them away from their chores. Although your intentions are good, you’re not interested in setting the agenda for everyone else. But before you claim that you don’t want the extra responsibility now, consider the practicalities involved in the trade-off. It may be smarter to negotiate for what you want than to just walk away from the situation.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might set yourself up for disappointment today because it seems like you’re willing to take care of everyone at work. However, you shouldn’t spread yourself too thin, even if you care about others a whole lot. Try weaving an invisible protective shell around you so you don’t get pulled off track. You’ll probably do fine in the long run, but your current feelings of scarcity can impede your progress. It may feel like a stretch to change your attitude, but you certainly have the power to do it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You must stay focused on the present moment instead of holding on to an old dream that gets in the way of your current happiness. If someone questions your life strategy today, avoid falling into the trap of feeling the need to defend your goals. However, keep in mind that clinging to your past or dreaming about the future doesn’t leave you with much time for now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It seems like everyone wants to spend time with you now because you know how to have fun while still remaining emotionally sensitive. However, you can avoid the hot seat today by redirecting the subject of a conversation away from you and onto a friend. Your cleverness may get you through the day, but don’t set aside what you should be nurturing in your own heart.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t like it when a friend or partner is holding out on you. You prefer others to be forthright and say what’s on their minds; otherwise your imagination transforms the unknown into something worse than the simple truth. Unfortunately, your desire to know another person’s feelings could drive your own emotions deeper into hiding. Relax your intense curiosity; an indirect approach may be the perfect catalyst to trigger a necessary conversation.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desire for an intellectual discussion may be thwarted today as other people’s feelings keep cycling back into the conversation. You might try to steer the topics away from nonfactual biases. But your attempts to modify the natural flow of the group process could anger someone, eliciting the very same emotional outbreak you wish to avoid. Instead, allow the dialogue to meander naturally without imposing your agenda.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you believe that a co-worker is trying to take unfair advantage of you at work, your swift response today could catch him or her off guard. Sometimes you are more forgiving, but now you could overreact if you feel that you’ve been pushed too far. Don’t be afraid of a power struggle; just keep in mind that your compassion is your most effective weapon.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 29

Although we might expect life to be easy and breezy now that the Moon is in airy Gemini, there is a thickness to the day that’s difficult to avoid. Yesterday’s Sun-Pluto opposition was a tug-of-war between light and dark, yet at least we were aware of what was happening. Now, as the stress fades, energetic Mars forms an anxious quincunx to intense Pluto, making it difficult to gauge the fine line between asserting ourselves and being aggressive.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be pumped up today, but you wish that someone else would pick up your positive attitude and run with it. You can grow tired of being the one who always gets things going. You could be ready to give up or you might decide to give it one more try. Although a complicating quincunx between pushy Mars and unrelenting Pluto makes it almost impossible to know what’s best, trust your initial impulse and don’t let doubt slow you down.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you normally have plenty of common sense, you might throw caution to the wind if someone appeals to your more adventurous side today. You may even begin a conversation with a friend about a topic that’s usually off-limits. But don’t hesitate just because you cannot tell where your discussion will lead. If there’s a disagreement, it’s not even necessary to reach a resolution now. No matter what happens, breaking the silence is a step in the right direction.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Impatient Mars is in your sign now, provoking you to take direct action, even if you don’t have a plan in place. But its ill-adjusted aspect to powerful Pluto can play out like instant karma and may quickly punish you if you don’t consider other people’s feelings before rushing into something new. A little caution is advised or you could inadvertently offend someone, precipitating more drama than you want.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Don’t let anyone bully you into promising more than you can deliver today, for your desire to help might convince you to take on someone else’s troubles. Offering your assistance may be admirable, but the unrealistic expectations of others could leave you exhausted now without anything to show for your efforts. Remember, being compassionate is honorable, but you won’t be able to save another person unless you save yourself first.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You need to inform your friends about your position on a work-related issue today. You would be wise to explain yourself carefully because you want their support. But you’re tired of having to tell your story one more time, so everyone is able to understand your next move. Remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition; consider your audience and readjust your message as needed.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your actions may not be in full alignment with your intentions now. Although you have the words to explain what you’re doing, you lack the finesse to execute your plan. One strategy is to share your perspective based upon your analytical thinking. But then, set aside logic and do what feels right in your heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You would like to make your choice between two divergent positions today by finding a harmonious balance between the extremes. Although encouraging fair play is one of your strengths, it’s challenging when one person is saying “my way or the highway” so insistently that there’s no room to negotiate. You’re not the sole arbiter of the current situation, so you may need to relinquish control. Have faith that things will unfold as they should.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your two key planets are warrior Mars and ruthless Pluto. These tough planets are in a difficult quincunx aspect today, requiring you to tone down your message. Manage your overall energy carefully, for not everyone has the ability to match your intensity. Your passionate nature is a blessing, but sometimes it can feel like a curse. There’s no reason to be afraid of your own emotions; however, it’s a good idea to respect the boundaries of those who are.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may run out of patience today because you’re eager to explore what is beneath the surface. It’s particularly frustrating if you want to investigate a meaningful subject, yet others don’t understand what you’re talking about. Your friends probably have good intentions, but they aren’t able to slow down enough to notice what’s really important. If someone seems easily distracted, it’s a sign for you to retreat. Instead of pushing for a soul connection now, relax your agenda and make room for intimacy to happen more organically later on.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everyone at work may get on your nerves because no one is doing what’s expected of them. Expressing your anger, however, isn’t enough today. Losing your temper doesn’t motivate anyone to get on track, nor does it improve your attitude, either. Self-control is tricky business now, for unspoken emotions can have surprising consequences. Your wisest strategy is to tell your co-workers about your feelings without placing blame or expectations on them. Your disclosure clears the air and allows you to move on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to share what’s in your heart today, but you might become hooked on your own words in the process. However, your ability to stay emotionally detached is a mixed blessing. It’s fortunate that you are able to communicate objectively, but your actions may appear awkward. Ultimately, it’s better to take extra time to acknowledge your feelings than to act them out unconsciously.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries is often difficult for you Fish, yet today it’s even harder than usual. You can trick yourself into believing that your feelings are logical, but caution is advised. Impulsive behavior can take you to the edge of predictability. Slow down, even if your thinking is lightning fast.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for June 27

We are heading toward a weird weekend with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in supersensitive Cancer happening on Friday. This powerful lunar alignment connects with traditional Saturn, unpredictable Uranus and formidable Pluto. Trust may be hard to come by in a volatile environment of exploding emotions countered by a fear of change. Act with caution to reduce stress and disappointment. Exploring the depths of our feelings is the first thing to do before making any radical changes.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Complications start to sizzle on Wednesday when your playful ruling planet Mars is sideswiped by forceful Pluto, triggering a struggle for power with a controlling person. Stay cool and avoid speaking or acting impulsively so that you can sidestep any potential emotional minefields. Practicing kindness to yourself and others helps to smooth over bumps in the road to relationship satisfaction this week.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Persistence is one of the strengths of your sign, but your determination could be more of a burden than an asset this weekend. The Moon and mental Mercury shift into your 4th House of Roots on Saturday, which encourages you to try to turn back the clock. Instead of attempting to hold on to the past, you’ll do more for your personal interests by creatively initiating positive change for your future.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Friday’s Solar Eclipse activating your 2nd House of Self-Worth can lead to a sudden re-evaluation of your talents and your needs. Trying to analyze the situation, though, won’t work until you allow your emotions to lead the way. Sure, you may be on unstable ground and uncertain about what steps to take next, but logic has to follow feelings this time around.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This could be a very powerful week as Friday’s New Moon in sentimental Cancer is also a Solar Eclipse. Emotions may erupt from deep inside of you, which can muddy the waters of your relationship life. But if you’re willing to let go of the past, this cathartic process can be a healing event that finally frees you from old fears and memories of partnerships that didn’t end well. Change your perspective by embracing the amazing possibilities of the future, instead.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon and Mercury’s entry into your sign on Saturday sharpens your mind and empowers your emotions. A little relationship drama is possible, but if you keep your sense of humor, the situation can end up being funny and creative instead of an exercise in frustration. You will be fine as long as you balance your need for attention with equal concern for your partner’s desires.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Reason is normally your ally, but your analytical skills might not be operating at the highest level this weekend. Friday’s New Moon in sensitive Cancer is also a Solar Eclipse, giving logic the boot while feelings take over. Do your best to maintain some common sense, but keep in mind that most people are likely to be swimming in emotional tides that aren’t easily explained.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Try to lighten your workload this weekend because Friday’s New Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility is a Solar Eclipse. Leadership is often rewarding, but this week’s demands may be unreasonable. Plans could change suddenly and support might disappear, which is why a lighter schedule is exactly what you need to have some time for fun.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you’re looking for mystery and intrigue, this is a good week to find it. Friday’s New Moon in sister Water sign Cancer is a Solar Eclipse that can unravel long-term plans. Drop your romantic expectations and do your best to go with the flow. Trying to fight off the fears of others might be a losing cause, but doing your best to keep things light-hearted can certainly help. Laughter is contagious so don’t be afraid to pass it around.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Friday’s Cancer New Moon is a Solar Eclipse in your 8th House of Intimacy that could rock your relationship world. If you’re single, attracting someone new and different is quite possible. But if you’re in a committed partnership now, prepare yourself for some complications as you and your partner encounter stubborn obstacles and uncertain feelings. Keep in mind that the intensity will soon pass, but it takes time to navigate your way through the relationship maze.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your relationship life is rocking and rolling this week with a New Moon Solar Eclipse falling in your 7th House of Partners on Friday. This powerful event promises radical changes, but also stirs your resistance to taking chances. Learning to shift gears from forward to neutral to reverse as smoothly as possible should help you reduce the likelihood of an accident happening when you least expect it.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon slips into your 7th House of Partners on Saturday, which should amplify the activity in your relationship life. Just be careful about overselling yourself or putting down someone who is a little bit inflated with their own self-importance. A more playful approach to bursting bubbles can turn a sarcastic remark into a joyful moment that brings fun instead of embarrassment.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s a very complex week since Friday’s cuddly Cancer Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance. A Water sign lunar alignment is generally a green light for love and affection, but this particular lunation is also a Solar Eclipse with some intense connections to disruptive outer planets. Take what comes your way without expectations and you should experience much more fun than frustration.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, June 25

The insistent Aries Moon provokes strong reactions, but it’s difficult to sustain a feeling once the moment has passed. Clever Mercury challenges feisty Mars, stirring up even more unrest. Thankfully, the Moon’s shift into uncomplicated Taurus at 4:52 pm EDT helps settle our agitated emotions. Though the stabilizing Taurus Moon lures us toward simpler pleasures, the Sun’s sextile to expansive Jupiter focuses our attention on the distant horizon.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re likely to step on someone’s toes as mischievous Mercury aspects warrior Mars. You might not even realize that your behavior is reckless because the self-directed Aries Moon encourages you to act first and think about it later. Remember, an impulsive response can get you into trouble because your immediate reaction might be off the mark. Wait until next week to make any major decisions if you can.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are able to anticipate the Moon’s return to sensible Taurus later today, and you want to make the most of it. Opening your heart to your desires is a healthy strategy, but you may find it difficult to distinguish your attractions from what’s absolutely critical. Make separate lists for your needs and your wants to help you prioritize what’s in front of you.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can’t prevent the noisy words from buzzing in your ears today, even if they don’t offer the hint of a solution. Messenger Mercury is hyped up from its aspect to angry red Mars, firing your thoughts into a stream of consciousness. But the emotionally turbulent waters morph into a gently meandering river later in the day. Although your sense of urgency might fade, your conviction won’t. Don’t put off making a big decision if you already know what you want.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You appear as if you are strong and silent today, so others may not realize how lost you’re feeling. Your thoughts are running around in circles like a hamster on a wheel, making it difficult to reach a sensible conclusion about what’s happening. Your strategy is to keep your insecurities quiet rather than acknowledging any confusion. Although you’re correct in believing that you should only share your business concerns on a need-to-know basis, discussing your fears with a trusted friend can help you feel much better.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you’re pushing yourself to finish a big project, it looks like it might take a little longer than you first expected. You may be tempted to blame someone else for your delay, but the current obstacles are most likely in your way because of you. Listen to the wisdom of the universe and slow down your pace now while you can still solve the problem.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Try to accomplish a lot early in the day since you could become more lackadaisical with the way things are when the Moon enters your 9th House of Future Vision. Your accurate perceptions grow fuzzy, making it impossible to decide much of anything. You might think that waiting will help you understand things better. Although you would prefer to be more practical, the day may still hold a few surprises for you.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t like being put on the spot, especially if it’s on your own territory. You may not be able to express what you’re feeling because you can see things from several points of view. The smartest response today is to take the course of least resistance. Luckily, you can make any performance a successful one. Keep your personal opinions private until you are absolutely sure of your final answer.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might exhaust yourself today as you run through a mental obstacle course over and over again. However, each time you try to handle the resistance in the same manner, you believe that your strategy will work. Unfortunately, you’re wasting valuable resources by relying on old tactics. You may be pleasantly surprised by the outcome if you do something radically different now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It feels as if you’re running out of time so stop procrastinating, sort things out and initiate your new plan of action. Don’t fret if there are still miscellaneous details to handle. You should be able to fill in more missing pieces as you move along with your strategy. However, it’s important to take advantage of the combustible Aries Moon in your expressive 5th House before the energy mellows later this evening.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be quite eager to get going today, but it’s not yet time to jump the gun. Don’t rush anything; you will intuitively know the exact moment when you should make your move. Keep in mind that your mental preparation is a key ingredient in creating success for your current enterprise. You are being tested to determine if you can narrow your vision and concentrate solely on accomplishing your goals. Stay aware of your process and nudge yourself back on track if you’re lured off course for any reason.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are able to connect with almost anyone today and, more importantly, you have lots of fun doing it. Unfortunately, you could also waste precious time doing things that are not critical to your goals. It’s wise to rein yourself in early on or you could lose control of your schedule. Fewer distractions now make it easier to find the satisfaction and success that you seek.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be ready to move ahead with a collaborative project today, or you might try to create something special on your own. Luckily, you receive kudos for your current efforts and can gain enough recognition to make your new venture worthwhile. But exercise caution, nonetheless, for you could become so enamored with your own ideas that you cannot clearly judge the potential value of your plan.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for June 24 – 26

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

A Dose of Adventure

June 24 – 26

A fast and loose Friday fits the lunar landscape as the Moon is firing through irrepressible Aries. The freedom to change plans and act spontaneously can break through behavioral barriers with bold action and reckless abandon. New experiences and people can be especially stimulating yet impulsiveness can spur attraction or anger that may be regretted in a day or so. There is, though, one softening influence as the Moon makes a sweet sextile with alluring Venus to brighten up the late afternoon and early evening.

There’s a changing of the emotional guard on Saturday afternoon when the Moon swings into earthy Taurus. This comfort-loving sign moves at a slower pace, like Ferdinand the Bull leisurely smelling the flowers. Taurus is all about enjoying the pleasures of the senses, encouraging us to linger over good food and lounge around partaking in pleasing music or mellow conversation. Normally, this isn’t a very adventurous sign which would prefer to stay on the couch than go out to a club. However, a lunar conjunction with adventurous Jupiter and the Sun’s slick sextile to this giant planet add a big dose of optimism and a generosity of spirit that could make for a very special Saturday night.

The quiet confidence of Taurus is rewarded when we are comfortable with ourselves and don’t work so hard to impress others. Hope can be very high with these buoyant aspects, but it’s not quite the moment to make long-term commitments because whatever delicious social treats we discover on Saturday may taste very differently on Sunday. The Sun clashes with rebellious Uranus in a 90-degree square, making us suddenly more interested in independence and freedom than in pairing up and settling down.
