You may find your interests expanding today, and you’re probably going to be feeling more liberated than you have in a long time. New people, social gatherings, and possibly romance may broaden your horizon. Be careful not to over-indulge or become careless in the midst of so much activity.

Alluring Venus’ entry into gracious Libra and your 7th House of Partners brings more beauty to your personal life for the next few weeks. Take the time to create a romantic experience instead of trying to cram a date into a short break in your busy schedule. The Moon’s presence in easygoing Taurus for most of the weekend is more inviting when you operate at a leisurely pace, slow down to smell the flowers and appreciate the gift of the present moment.
The Moon enters your earthy sign on Thursday afternoon, deepening your feelings until Sunday morning. Shake up your usual way of entertaining or switch up your normal look since flirty Venus’ opposition to innovative Uranus on Saturday makes the unexpected more intriguing. Taking the road less traveled may seem like the long way to reach your goals, but going the unconventional route now is a much surer highway to happiness.
You may feel underappreciated during some of this weekend as the mood-setting Moon is hiding out in your ultra-private 12th House until Sunday morning. Staying out of the spotlight, though, doesn’t have to be lonely. Spending quiet time with one special person or kicking back on your own can give you time to sort out your thoughts and restore your energy before recovering your usual social spark. Save the socializing for Sunday when you feel ready to shine.
Being part of a group can bring new excitement to your social life this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 11th House of Friends from Thursday until Sunday, inviting new connections when you’re part of a team. You may, however, encounter unreliable people on Saturday, so prepare to shift gears and change your plans quickly if needed. Flexibility brings opportunity while resistance leaves you out of the fun.
You may feel pulled between having a wildly good time this weekend or sacrificing your fun to meet your responsibilities. The good news is that both activities are possible if you manage your time very carefully. There’s no need for extravagance to make a good impression; you can have a great emotional connection without any elaborate plans. In fact, keeping it simple might be the fastest way to someone’s heart now.
You may want to stray far from your usual hangouts this weekend while the Moon highlights your 9th House of Travel from Thursday until Sunday, stirring up an itch for travel. Fortunately, you don’t have to leave town to tap into this adventurous spirit because there are unfamiliar places nearby that can fulfill this need for something exotic. Attending events involving foreign cultures is one good way to broaden your social horizons and possibly meet someone new.
Lovely Venus, your romantic ruling planet, enters your sign on Wednesday, which should make you even more charming and desirable than usual. Yet there’s a twist this weekend when Venus opposes radical Uranus and provokes some shocking behavior. Think of this as a time to experiment when you’re free to try something new. Taking risks in what you do and say may feel slightly dangerous, but the thrill makes it worthwhile.
The Moon moves into your 7th House of Relationships on Thursday and will continue to warm up this partnership part of your chart until early Sunday morning. Normally, the Taurus Moon’s visit attracts down-to-earth people, but there’s a blip on the screen on Saturday that’s likely to spring some surprises. Staying light on your feet so you can adapt to unexpected shifts of plans or moods enables you to make quick adjustments when needed.
The Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Work and Service this weekend can bog you down with details and obligations. Yet in the wee hours of Sunday morning a lunar transit into your 7th House of Partners gets you out of the penalty box and back into the game. Save your special moments for the second half of the weekend and you’re more than likely to share them with a lively companion.
Let your body and your basic (but kindest) instincts lead the way from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning, when the sensual Taurus Moon lights up your 5th House of Romance. This is an invitation to pleasure without a need to justify your desire for having a good time, and sharing your heart in a simple, straightforward manner. Joy comes without complications, if you will open up your heart and let it in.
You appear to be ready to break out your happy dance on Saturday when luscious Venus opposes your electrifying ruling planet Uranus. If you’ve been bored lately, it’s time for excitement now as you connect with someone new or do something that you’ve never done before. Spontaneity, though, is a double-edged sword since acting impulsively can lead to a relationship breakthrough or breakdown.
The Moon spends most of this weekend in your 3rd House of Communication, which is useful for talking to new people or addressing real issues in an ongoing relationship. You can find a calm, comfortable way of expressing yourself that is reassuring to others and helps you get the information you need without seeming pushy. Simplifying situations is an excellent way to resolve them more quickly.
You might be stymied today because you want to share what you’re feeling, but the current circumstances may require you to wait. Logically, you can understand why it’s wise to keep your emotions to yourself, yet you are tempted to bend the rules and say more than is necessary. Remember, it’s probably better for everyone involved if you don’t act impulsively at this time.
You aren’t prepared to say exactly what you are feeling today because you don’t want to add to the current drama. However, you’re still eager to demonstrate your love and are able to do so in a manner that won’t make anyone uncomfortable. Of course, taking a risk by telling someone about your heart’s desires can be rather scary, so don’t reveal too much too fast.
You have plenty of words right at the tip of your tongue today, even if you’re talking about tender feelings that you don’t normally share. A combination of circumstances enables you to be secure now, so you are more willing than usual to take an emotional risk. Don’t waste too much time worrying about how others will respond. A discussion should unfold naturally as long as you’re not too dramatic in your delivery.
You may want to step out of the spotlight today, but chances are you will still receive your fair share of love and admiration, anyway. But trying to hide is just one way to waste precious energy. Push beyond any embarrassment you feel about being the center of attention and graciously accept the positive vibrations that now come your way.
Creating emotional boundaries today gives you a safe place to retreat from the big world. Normally, you’re eager to put your feelings on the line, without even giving it a second thought. However, your emotions are raw now, and you’re not in the mood to share them with everyone. Keep in mind that you don’t need to justify your actions; it is always within your power to choose whether or not to talk about your inner process.
Your key planet Mercury is keeping you busy analyzing your insecurities, but your logic can run into walls today as wounded Chiron enters the picture. However, your emotions may be integrated into your overall game plan now. Your friends are likely to respond warmly if you share what’s on your mind, but they may be reflecting your current eagerness for affection. Make the most of the positive Venus-Mars aspect by connecting with friends and family, but don’t expect too much in return.
You may try to avoid being in the public eye today, yet the rewards from your previous work could follow you around and turn the spotlight on you anyway. Even if you’re being recognized and appreciated, you would be more comfortable if everyone was receiving acknowledgment and not just you. But rather than diverting the attention back on others, just say thank you while proudly enjoying the moment.
You aren’t in the mood to be the one who puts everything together today. Instead, you want to be pleasantly surprised when you discover that someone special has a dinner or a whole weekend planned especially for you. Although you crave adventure, romance and fun, spending your time waiting for the magic to happen isn’t a viable strategy. Don’t minimize your current choices; take responsibility for your half of the deal.
Feelings of discomfort or anxiety can catch you off guard today if your emotions become more intense than usual. Energetic Mars is in timid Cancer and your 8th House of Intimacy, preventing you from sharing your romantic insecurities. Don’t get hooked into believing that someone is going to rush in and sweep you off your feet. A healthy dose of realism can prevent your day from turning into a major disappointment.
You may have a friend or lover who is so shy that he or she won’t let you know what’s going on today. Don’t make any assumptions about how much others like you, for you might miscalculate your popularity now. Luckily, romantic Venus in your 7th House of Relationships is setting a sweet and sensual tone for the weekend. Go ahead, make the first move and see what happens.
You are on edge now as your natural high-frequency energy is impeded by inconvenient feelings that are rising to the surface. Although sidestepping your emotions isn’t always a good idea, remaining rational makes more sense today so you can focus on practical issues. Anything that draws your mind to the present moment can also act as a shield against someone else’s drama.
Flirty Venus and sexy Mars are quite active today in your 5th House of Romance and your 7th House of Partners, increasing your desire to spend special time with someone you love. However, don’t increase the complexity by dreaming and scheming for the future. Instead, live as joyfully as you can in the here and now.

Enter a World of DreamsSeptember 9 – 11 |
Our minds are likely to push feelings into the background on Friday, favoring conceptual conversations and intellectual pursuits over sappy sentiment and unnecessary drama. The Moon is in cool-as-a-cucumber Aquarius where we don’t want to be emotionally crowded and require a certain amount of personal space. The Water Bearer is a friendly sign that appears open and accessible to almost everyone, yet has a strong independent streak as well. Cerebral Mercury’s entry into discerning Virgo very early on Friday is another indicator that heads rule over hearts now.
The theme is very different on Saturday, even while the Moon is still visiting air-conditioned Aquarius. A lunar conjunction with magical Neptune can melt away objectivity and entice us to enter a world of dreams. Escapes into fantasylands of imagination can inspire lovers or mislead them with misplaced expectations. The Moon enters soulful Pisces in the middle of day, dissolving the last edges of repressive reason as boundaries and barriers between people gently give way. A kind of cosmic connection becomes possible as agendas are set aside to discover moments of bliss that can arise without effort. Tread carefully; emotional openness may lead some into misinterpreting mere kindness as romantic interest.
Fortunately, astrology’s most amorous planetary pair, Venus and Mars, hook up in a sexy sextile on Saturday night, creating the perfect environment for a playful time. It’s easy to dance with the one you’re with or to approach someone new for a pleasant interaction without pressure. A gentle afterglow lingers with the Pisces Moon on Sunday to encourage more unconditional sharing. The lines between physical and spiritual attraction may be blurred, but living joyfully in the moment, without expectations, makes it safe to be uncertain.
You often push boundaries without even realizing it when you get excited about something new. However, today’s enthusiasm might be more about what you say than what you do with talkative Mercury in the spotlight. The problem is that you may not be on target with your idea, even though you think it’s a good one. Don’t be so cocky that you make incorrect assumptions. Be patient, review your plans one more time and proceed slowly.
Your career goals may seem more tangible than they actually are with the most unrealistic ones right at the tips of your outreached fingers. On the plus side, you can believe an impossible dream is so real that your legendary persistence makes it so. But on the other hand, it’s easy to become complacent by convincing yourself that you’re close to your destination when you’re not. Use your common sense before wasting any more energy pursuing a pipe dream.
The Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Higher Education prompts you to reconsider an old plan you had to return to school. Remember, it’s wiser to study a subject that expands your mind and widens your perspective beyond your old way of seeing things. But make sure that you don’t jump to conclusions or even something as simple as a weekend getaway can turn into a comedy of errors. There’s no rush to make a final decision, so give your ideas enough time to develop before doing anything rash.
It’s a lot safer to keep your unexpressed emotional desires to yourself now, for your surprising intensity can be unsettling to someone else. Unfortunately, you still must take a chance if you want to experience new levels of intimacy with someone that you trust. Revealing your vulnerability is not without its danger; thankfully, the benefits now outweigh the risks.
You might be afraid that something magical could slip through your fingers today, but no amount of logic can help you figure out a sensible strategy to stabilize your position. Attempts to understand a relationship that eludes comprehension can be quite frustrating. An approach based upon analysis will only bring you back around to the same old dissatisfaction that you’re trying to escape. Let go of your desire to discover any truth other than what’s already in your heart.
You have an opportunity to impact your physical well-being now by simply changing your attitude. The Moon’s current visit to innovative Aquarius and your 6th House of Health helps you focus your energy toward self-improvement. The powerful effect that positive thinking can have on your life today should not be underestimated. In fact, it just may be the key to a happier and healthier you.
You could easily fall in love today, with the Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance, yet ironically, your feelings may not have much to do with the people in your life. You are more open to the possibility of romance, whether or not you’re willing to express your desires. Since a current infatuation could be the result of your daydreams, you really don’t require anyone to act out your fantasy. If no one’s there, just go ahead and enjoy the fruits of your imagination.
You think you know how a domestic situation is going to play out over the next few months, especially if you have recently been re-evaluating your long-term goals. However, it’s challenging to know what to do because your future still seems like a fantasy and the details of how it will unfold are elusive. Don’t try to make up your mind now; instead, give yourself permission to dream without attempting to make anything real yet.
Communicating your plans can be frustrating today if you want others to become involved in your project. You may have a lot of information at your disposal, but most of your current data probably lacks substance. Normally you’re quite comfortable floating in the realm of abstract ideas because you’re a natural philosopher. However, your need to reach a concrete goal now is in conflict with your dreamier thoughts. Nevertheless, making a commitment to something specific will have positive consequences.
Your ego can get blown out of proportion today as others motivate you to reach for your dreams. Obviously, self-confidence is useful, but too much optimism can annoy those who might otherwise be your allies. Moderating your grandiose thinking with modesty can be a wise strategy. A healthy perspective on life can make all the difference between your success and failure.
You may have to review your recent commitments and reconsider what you can actually deliver today, for you might have promised others too much. You didn’t intend to mislead anyone; everything is just taking longer now than you expected. You may be tempted to quit, but overreacting isn’t a good idea. Take a few deep breaths, re-evaluate what is possible and let others know what they can expect from you at this time.
It may be an uphill battle to control your dreams today because they are overflowing out of your sleep and right into your waking life. Obviously, this can be quite confusing if you attempt to rationalize your feelings when your emotions are being fed by unconscious urges. If you’re unsure about what to do, step back a bit until your path becomes clear. A temporary retreat is a better strategy than making believe that you can tell what’s real.
A subtle and indirect approach to fulfilling your needs will work better this weekend rather than charging straight ahead. Letting love come to you by relaxing your schedule and allowing your mind to wander is the easiest way to open to delight. Be soft and gentle with yourself and others; sensitivity could be worth its weight in gold, making you deliciously desirable to the right partner.
Your alluring ruling planet Venus forms a harmonious alignment with passionate Mars this weekend. This cosmic couple makes it easier for you to enjoy yourself and appeal to others without having to put on a big show or step out of your comfort zone. Connecting with someone special when working for a cause or as part of a group can satisfy personal desires while also doing good for the community.
Sensitive people may take your playful comments to heart this weekend. A lunar opposition from thin-skinned Pisces to your verbal ruling planet Mercury in sharp-tongued Virgo on Saturday can kill a romantic mood. If you can’t say what’s on your mind with a high level of kindness, it’s probably wiser to keep those thoughts to yourself. Love without language is not only possible, it might be the best way to communicate now.
Getting out of town, or at least escaping from your usual routine, can do wonders for your attitude this weekend. The magical Pisces Moon lights up your adventurous 9th House on Saturday and Sunday, making unfamiliar faces and places especially appealing. Dipping into foreign cultures by experimenting with food, music and art or connecting with someone in an educational setting are good ways to light your fire.
The emotional Moon is passing through your key houses of partnership from Thursday to Sunday, marking an important period for meeting someone new or bringing clarity into your current relationship. Discussing sensitive issues without becoming overwhelmed with criticism can make the difference between constructive conversations that draw you closer or destructive ones that drive you apart.
Look for someone sweet on Saturday when the tender Pisces Moon enters your 7th House of Partners. A favorable connection between loving Venus in your sign and passionate Mars in caring Cancer is another shift in your favor in matters of the heart. Enjoy the moments of pleasure you have without thinking about where they will take you. Delight is a gift that is easily shared.
Thursday and Friday find the quirky Aquarius Moon brightening your 5th House of Romance where unexpected connections and unusual forms of pleasure await you. A lunar transit through your 6th House of Service helps you combine work and play during the rest of the weekend. Sharing a labor of love with someone can inspire you both, especially when it’s for an artistic or compassionate cause.
The Moon dances into imaginative Pisces and your 5th House of Romance on Saturday, which helps you relax and escape the demands and duties of your daily life. Playful flirtations and amorous fantasies lighten your spirit, making you especially appealing to others. Having no agenda other than opening your heart is a virtual guarantee of having a good time.
Hanging out at your place can be more exciting than you think when the mystical Pisces Moon visits your domestic 4th house on Saturday. You can create an enticing environment with music, wine and some imaginative decorating that welcomes love into your house. Even if you’re alone now, there is an inner tenderness that can make you feel a divine connection with your soul.
Plans can change quickly this weekend with the Moon traveling through quirky Aquarius and dreamy Pisces. Instead of locking into a fixed idea of what you’re going to do, relax and allow your intuition to take you wherever it wants to go. The less control you impose on your universe, the more likely it is to bring you what you want. Following your instincts and trusting chance could make you a relationship winner.
The Moon enters your friendly but freedom-loving sign on Thursday where it will bring your feelings straight to the surface. This is excellent for getting attention, although your unpredictable behavior may attract some people and push others away. After the Moon slips into gentle Pisces on Saturday afternoon, adopt a softer approach — showing your vulnerable side could prove more alluring to others.
The Moon’s shift into your deliciously sweet and sensitive sign on Saturday afternoon invites you to reveal your inner self to others. It can be hard for anyone to resist such emotional honesty when it’s expressed with wonder and inspired by faith in the power of love. Cast your worries aside and act as if you are the most desirable person in the world and other people are likely to see you in the same light.
This Tarot Deck: Etteilla
Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.
You are eager to begin something new, yet you don’t always finish everything you start. You’re tired of all the running around, especially if you haven’t accomplished as much as you expected. You may not want to wait another day or two in order to take charge of your own life again. But you can’t rush events that are out of your control, so patience is in order.
You are smart to get your job done early in the day, for you might be less inclined to work hard and be productive later in the afternoon and evening. However, if you do fall behind, don’t worry. You’re bound to get back in the groove over the next couple of days by reclaiming your center and planting your feet firmly back on the ground.
Your sense of urgency isn’t the best indicator of timing today, especially if you fear that you’re near the end of a road. Your tendency is to start something different now in order to revitalize your life with an exciting project. However, you’re much better off waiting until some stability returns before adding anything new to the mix. In the meantime, slow down and tie up as many loose ends as you can.
You may be quite upbeat today, for you can tell that there are big changes ahead. Sometimes you prefer to retreat when things get hectic, but now you are eager to engage the energy head-on. You might realize that you’ve taken on more than you can manage, making these next few days intense. But one thing is certain: this could be your chance to feel the full passion of life.
You are able to hold steady in the midst of big changes, and you’re running through your possible strategies today in anticipation of what’s coming. You don’t mind dealing with the intensity of your feelings or with those of others, but there could be a severe learning curve ahead. Withdrawing your energy from social activities in the community and refocusing at home may be all that’s needed to rebalance your life.
Don’t let any distractions hook you today or you’ll quickly be pulled off course. You’re all fired up and feel as if you are on a mission, so you may appear even more driven than usual. Be engaged, but cool your emotions with sound logic. On the other hand, don’t spend too much time justifying all your actions or you could fall behind and lose your opportunity to make something awesome happen.
You may try to hold on to your neutrality but something has to give now. You know that it’s time to make your move when the Moon enters incisive Scorpio today. Fortunately, ambiguity quickly becomes a thing of the past; you know exactly where you stand and there’s no question about where you are going. Others are wise to take their cues from you or just get out of your way.
The Moon’s monthly return to your sign isn’t always an easy process because you feel even more strongly than usual, which can be rather overwhelming to those close to you. But it probably takes more effort to hide your feelings now than to express them. However, it can be an emotionally charged day if your secrets are revealed. Luckily, intimacy is within reach if you are willing to demonstrate your vulnerability.
You are usually a straight shooter with your emotions, yet you don’t necessarily like to dwell on them. You prefer to let your actions speak for you, but now you might actually have something to hide. Luckily, keeping your feelings to yourself is easy today with the Moon’s presence in your private 12th House. If you want to take the focus off of your inner process, there’s a lot to discuss about all the developments at work.
It’s possible to delay a necessary confrontation for a day or two now, but it’s not advisable. Your emotions could trigger a meltdown if you don’t face them sooner than later. It might seem as if you are hitting the proverbial wall today, but this could be a projection of your inner turmoil. When you stop trying to control all of the changes, your stress may dissipate on its own.
You want to take care of everyone at work today, but you might have to set aside your own feelings in the process. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy for your unexpressed negativity to turn into anger or resentment, which doesn’t help you get along with anyone. Nevertheless, latching onto a ray of hope can be enough to encourage you not to lose confidence. Focusing your attention on the possibilities will keep you in a positive frame of mind.
You may be energetically reserved today, even if your hopes are still pinned to a shooting star that’s on its way upward. However, your intensity can be disproportionately dramatic when you finally tell your story. But be careful; everything doesn’t need to come out in the open now. It’s an emotional process and if you do it gradually, it will be easier on everyone involved.
The timing of your effort can be just as important, and even more important, than the amount of effort. Acting early is much more effective than waiting until the last minute, and infinitely more effective than waiting until it’s too late.
It is not only frustrating to fall behind and to constantly be playing catch up. It also wastes your energy and wears you out.
Are you weary from always falling behind? You can actually make it easier on yourself by working ahead.
What happens when you put something off until the last minute? Not only do you eventually have to do it anyway, you also have to carry the burden of its necessity much longer.
Choose instead to look ahead, and to quickly do now what must be done. Keep reminding yourself that by taking action early, you get much more value out of that action.
Make the commitment to get out in front of your life. Instead of being enslaved by procrastination, you can be wonderfully free to live each moment on your own terms.
— Ralph Marston

Taking relationships seriously is less important than finally relaxing with those who want nothing else but to have a good time.
Personal matters can take a philosophical turn when the intense Scorpio Moon enters your 9th House of Beliefs on Thursday. Addressing ethical issues may be required if you’re dealing with a sketchy person or questions about your own values. You may have to dig deeply to understand hidden motivations, but once you uncover them you’ll be better able to handle the powerful emotions that are driving your relationships.
From Gail Bell,
Since we created these beliefs we can also change them. This is where real freedom comes from. Focused affirmations are a great way to start your new tomorrows. When you feel tension, stress, or any type of anxiety, an affirmation which makes you feel good is where you need to go. My favorite is: I AM POWERFUL. It makes me feel so good! However, for the affirmations to work you must not only say something which makes you feel better you have to FEEL the words. So, say whatever makes you feel good, then see yourself in a happy scenario doing or being your desire. See it, feel it, even taste it! The more emotion you have the faster you will draw it to you. Here are some affirmations you might use, but the best ones are ones you make up yourself:
Go for it, and live in Love, Peace and Joy

The love planet’s entry into earthy Virgo permits us to view relationships in a more practical manner. Emotions are tempered by operational considerations that can take the steam out of unrealistic romance, but increase the efficiency of partnerships. The discerning eye of this sign may focus on flaws, yet its value comes from constructive criticism that helps to solve problems instead of presenting them as failures. A more refined sense of taste allows us to appreciate life’s pleasures without overindulging ourselves.
You may find your interests expanding today, and you’re probably going to be feeling more liberated than you have in a long time. New people, social gatherings, and possibly romance may broaden your horizon. Be careful not to over-indulge or become careless in the midst of so much activity.

Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.
Your passionate ruling planet Mars may have you playing it safe now with its presence in protective Cancer. But you still might be willing to throw caution to the wind and take an adventurous leap toward love later in the week when lucky Jupiter supercharges sexy Mars. Yet, the bigger your goal, the wiser it is to plan your moves carefully instead of just winging it.
Diving into the indulgence of your senses is a perfect way to invite love into your life this weekend. The Moon in your sensual sign joins expansive Jupiter to broaden the spectrum of your tastes and open your heart with generosity. Create a romantic setting by cooking a great meal and listening to your favorite music together. If the mood is right, an after dinner massage will make a perfect dessert.
A slower pace and simpler approach will do more for your personal life now than overloading your social calendar or coming on too strong. The sensual Taurus Moon this weekend rewards you when you give your full attention to one person and activity at a time. Seek out the quiet corners where whispers and subtle glances will be more appealing than overly dramatic gestures.
Spending time with a group of easygoing people can do wonders for your personal life this weekend. The mood-setting Moon is in cozy Taurus and your 11th House of Friends to provide stimulation and support when you’re among like-minded folks. Working for a cause close to your heart is one good way to meet someone new or deepen the bonds in an ongoing relationship.
Vivacious Venus joins the Sun in your outgoing sign this week. This cosmic connection is ideal for showing some style and strutting your stuff. There’s a thin line, though, between arrogance and elegance. When you’re as much into giving love and attention as getting it, your desirability goes up another notch. Even if you feel like a star, don’t act like everyone else is your supporting cast.
It’s easy to recognize individuals with inflated egos this week, but calling them out isn’t going to win you any affection. Taking a low-key approach and accepting people as they are is a way to tap into the comfort and pleasure of the weekend’s earthy Taurus Moon. Simple activities that feed the senses will invite intimacy that over-analysis is unlikely to provide.
The Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy makes getting closer to others much easier this weekend. Don’t overly complicate things by thinking too far ahead. This lunar transit is in earthy Taurus, a sign of simple pleasures of the here and now. Seek the company of accommodating individuals so you can relax and enjoy yourself instead of having to figure out ways to keep everyone happy.
Get ready for a delicious weekend with the scrumptious Taurus Moon laying down a bed of delight in your 7th House of Partners. Don’t look for hidden motives or attempt to make long-term plans when living in the present has rarely been so rich with the potential for pleasure. When you can appreciate simplicity and innocence, you’re entering a welcoming world of love and affection.
You don’t have to shoot for the Moon to find heaven on Earth this weekend. A lunar transit through sweet and simple Taurus puts the fun back into fundamental. Avoid the hassles of over-scheduling or trying to create the perfect date. Emotional magic and a profound feeling of comfort can occur even while you’re out shopping or attending to a basic task. Romance can be found in the most usual of places, so shine your love light for all to see.
Yum, yum, yum, Capricorn. The Moon is hanging out in sweet and sensual Taurus and your 5th House of Romance this weekend. This lunar placement is a first class ticket to pleasure if you can avoid the complications of elaborate plans and expectations. You’re most desirable now when you relax and enjoy yourself like a kid instead of acting like an ambitious adult.
Turn down your intellect a little this weekend and let your body lead the way. The Moon is in earthy Taurus, offering pleasure without complications. It may sound selfish and simplistic to seek out fun now without considering where that might lead. Yet the reward of not trying to see the big picture is that you are free to indulge your senses without diluting distractions.
The unpretentious Taurus Moon falls in your 3rd House of Communication this weekend. This lunar alignment can help you break down complicated subjects into some easy-to-manage pieces. Being simple and straightforward without keeping secrets or playing games can earn trust and engender comfort. A more natural approach to sharing with others calms stormy emotional waters with relaxation and romance.
TO END UNWANTED ROMANTIC FEELINGS
Focus your thoughts on the person you want to no longer have feelings for.
Think of all the reasons of yours & traits of theirs that you can, to back up your decision.
Write this person’s name on a small slip of paper.
Cross out the name with deliberation. Say:
“You no longer hold a special place in my heart.
You are not the right person for me.
I will bury my feelings for you here & make a fresh start.”
Bury this bit of paper & all your feelings about this person outside under a waning moon.
Today is great for signing contracts or finalizing deals. Your financial picture is looking rosier, so going out and spending some money wouldn’t be the worst idea. On the personal front, romance beckons. Just be careful not to do anything irresponsible

Astro Association: LeoTarot Association: Strength| Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today | ||
Love Love indicates that love is either present in our life or a distinct possibility. Be open to all possibilities, remembering that true love is given freely, without condition, and does not have to be earned. This is the kind of love we want to welcome into our life and to give to others. Be open to new ideas, and beware of judging against someone in an unloving manner. When Love appears, return to the place where you can love yourself and then seek out the same love from others. As a daily card, Love suggests that for those who are currently in a relationship the opportunity to deepen the bond is present. For those who are single, Love implies that the prospect for them to begin a romantic relationship is very strong at this time. |
