Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 18th

Actions may speak louder than words this week, thanks to a positive dose of expansive Martian energy. On Tuesday, Mars will link up to Jupiter, offering plenty of confidence and gusto to pursue your heart’s desire. On Saturday, Venus will be at a sextile to Saturn, helping keep both feet on the ground while you allow your heart to soar. By Sunday, however, the Sun will square off with Neptune, and all may not be what it appears to be despite your idealism.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your heart takes flight this week when the Sun, ruler of your 5th House of Romance, enters optimistic Sagittarius on Thursday. You may feel a stronger sense of wanderlust, and if so now will be an ideal time to consider a vacation with your sweetheart. The more exotic the better! On Sunday, you might feel all warm and fuzzy as you and your love enjoy a spiritual connection that may feel too good to be true. Ask your lover to pinch you so you know you’re not really dreaming.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A scintillating conversation with your lover will likely get your heart racing on Tuesday. Even if you can’t see each other on this day, be sure to spend time on the phone or exchange a few sexy text messages. If you live together, the act of your mate doing housework or cooking dinner will really turn you on. Don’t forget to offer a proper thank you! On Saturday, Venus will be at a supportive link to Saturn and you’ll take a step back to feel grateful for where you are in your relationship: Secure.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Talking to a coworker you trust about an intimate matter in your personal life may help you sort things out on Wednesday. If it’s a colleague you have romantic feelings for, you might be surprised at how easy it is to reveal your emotional state by Saturday. Although your focus will be on committed partnership after Thursday, you might have the one you love on a higher pedestal than he or she deserves — especially on Sunday. Open your heart … and your eyes.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You and your partner may work together to make a vital decision on Wednesday. Whatever is happening, know that the choice you make as a couple will further empower your relationship. On Saturday, you’ll continue to enjoy a feeling of solidarity with your mate. If you have children together, you’ll be in complete agreement over how to handle a testy situation. If you don’t, you may create a framework around a joint creative endeavor. One thing is certain: This week your relationship will be rock-solid.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Romance will take center stage this week, which will surely delight you. The catch? You may be so enamored with the glamorous trappings of your love life that you neglect to separate fantasy from reality. The good news is that with the Sun entering your romance sector on Thursday, you’ll shine a light on making love … and making love work. Still, a nasty square from the Sun to Neptune on Sunday might leave you licking wounds of disappointment when it comes to your intimate life. A fantasy might be better off kept to yourself — at least for now.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’ll have plenty of motivation to spice up your social life early in the week, which will help your love life, ultimately. On Tuesday, consider attending a meeting or other social function. If single, you might not leave the event alone! On Saturday, a stabilizing conversation between you and your sweetheart (if attached) will convince you that working together strategically is what it takes to make any love relationship work. A joint decision you make on this day will stand the test of time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Behind the scenes support from your partner might be the catalyst prompting you to reach for new professional heights. Although your mate could prefer to remain a silent cheerleader, don’t underestimate his or her ability to make you feel capable of achieving your goals. By Saturday, you and your partner will likely feel more secure about a domestic or financial matter. If you’re considering an investment in real estate, you’ll be on the same page when it comes to how much you can realistically afford.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A serious conversation about a love relationship will be in order this week, and it may take place on Wednesday or Saturday. This might not even be a talk with your mate, but it could be a private dialogue you have with yourself instead. Don’t avoid this honest assessment. If you can sort out whatever holds you back in matters of the heart, it’s possible you’ll finally feel free to give your all in love. With Saturn in your sign, you are certainly ready for commitment. The question is, have you found the right person to commit to?

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

With the Sun moving into your sign on Thursday, you’ll have an “anything is possible” outlook to the ‘nth degree! When it comes to relationships, you’ll begin to put more energy on expressing your most vital self to a partner. Thankfully, you’ll also feel more appreciated than ever for simply being yourself. On Saturday, your mate will be an encouraging influence, supporting you as you cultivate one of your talents that you typically keep behind closed doors. Your partner already sees the best in you and now, you’ll agree.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Don’t discount the potential to intensify your love life this week by focusing on a humanitarian effort with your mate. It appears you’ll be busy in conversation with a group regarding such an endeavor on Wednesday. Your input will be valuable because you’ll create a plan to achieve a successful outcome out of everyone else’s high ideals. By Saturday, expect your lover to join in this effort once you discover that he or she shares the same passion to help others as you do.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If there was ever a week to talk to your partner about whatever it is you’ve been trying to sweep under the rug, this is it. Don’t feel anxious about initiating a difficult conversation, even if it means communicating about a subject you both try hard to avoid. Recognize that until you talk about this situation it’ll be an ugly thorn in your side, potentially diminishing what is a fantastic relationship otherwise. Have the talk, clear the air and then move on.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Now that Mars is in your partnership sector, you’re extremely motivated to stir the pot in relationship matters. You might initiate more arguments than usual, or you may enjoy being extra physical with your mate. Thankfully, on Tuesday you’ll enjoy the best, rather than the worst, of what Mars in the 7th House of Partnership offers. Mars will connect to Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance. You’ll have plenty of stamina to enjoy a new sexual or creative adventure with your lover. Good for you!

Today’s Tarot Card for Nov. 3rd is The Lovers

The Lovers

Sunday, Nov 3rd, 2013

Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally the Lovers card of Tarot reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.

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 Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 28th

This week’s main event is a heady Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on Sunday, which will encourage you to leap into profound personal transformation. Scorpio is all about revealing yourself to someone close in the most vulnerable and soul-baring capacity. Between Mercury’s continued retrograde in Scorpio and this Eclipse, you’ll confront and hopefully eradicate at least one of your personal hang-ups in relationship. This will allow you to finally go “all in” with someone you love.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This week you can’t escape it: When it comes to love, you’ll need to confront your darker side. Those walls of self-protection you hold up to avoid being hurt are about to come crashing down all around you. This is a good thing. If you’ve been the one who gets all dressed up in a suit of armor before going on a date, then it’s time to dress down. In fact, it’s time to disrobe. Surrender those fears and dare to feel something real

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

If you’re not being up-front with your partner about what’s holding you back from falling head over heels in love, then the only person you’re really fooling is yourself. Now, more than ever, the universe wants you to confront the naked truth about romance, relationships and your requirements pertaining to them. It’s OK to revise your concepts around these matters now — in fact, it’s called for. What’s not OK is to keep trying to ignore what needs to happen: Transformation.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This week, trying too hard to control everything happening in your environment may leave little room for pleasure. Work may be all-consuming and you might also need to pay extra attention to your overall well-being. Still, there’s a nugget of gold available in your romantic life if you’re willing to mine for it. On Thursday, you’ll seize an intimate moment at home with a lover. Are you concerned about your sexual health? There isn’t necessarily anything to worry about, but it’s a good time to make an appointment with a healthcare professional. Take care of you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Romance — or the lack thereof — will weigh heavily on your mind this week. If you feel as if you and your sweetheart have lost that loving feeling, this will be a good time to review potential explanations for why things have gone stale. An honest conversation may lead to you both making each other a priority once again. If single, you may struggle with pangs of loneliness or pessimism about love and your ability to “find the one.” It’s time to rewrite the script in your head.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Domestic distractions may challenge you so much this week that it takes your focus away from romantic pursuits. While it’s true you’ll have a lot going on at home, this will be the last week love planet Venus moves through the area of your chart that has to do with pleasure and romance. If you’re hoping to meet someone new and fall in love, there’s still time — but you must go out and mingle! Don’t expect the love of your life to come knocking on your door. Seize it!

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Expect serious and potentially significant alterations in how you communicate this week. Thankfully, these changes symbolize opportunity that will help you convey your deepest desires in a way that no longer makes you feel threatened. Penetrating dialogue between you and someone close will only support deeper intimacy. On Thursday, you and a lover might reach new heights together in the bedroom. With Sunday’s Eclipse, you might be ready to speak up to your mate about what you need emotionally to enjoy a true partnership.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Compared to the stress of last month’s Lunar Eclipse in your partnership sector, this week’s Solar Eclipse might feel like a cakewalk. There won’t be any relationship red flags to look out for or monsters in your love closet to ferret out. What the cosmic climate will demand you reassess this week, however, is your self-worth profile. The old saying is true — if you can’t love yourself, then it’s impossible to love someone else. Where do you stand when it comes to self-love? If you’re not standing tall then an adjustment will be in order.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Be gentle with yourself this week, because Sunday’s Solar Eclipse in your sign might leave you feeling both rattled and energized. On one hand, you know it’s time to make a change in your personal life. On the other hand, the steps you’ll need to take to get there may seem daunting — even terrifying at times. Remember that shedding the skin of what no longer serves you is part of the growth process. You’ll have more to offer someone you love when you have the strength to reveal authenticity.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Keeping all of your relationship fears neatly tucked away out of site might seem like a clever move. The truth however, is that you’re only playing yourself for a fool if you continue to ignore them. Most of us have suffered heartbreak and trauma at some point, but the trick to overcoming a broken heart is to keep it broken open. This week you may have a breakthrough if you’re willing to talk about these feelings you try so hard to hide. A conversation with a therapist or trusted friend will work wonders.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s time to pay more attention to your social life — or lack thereof — and how it affects your love potential. Making new social contacts may be your key to inviting romantic prospects your way if single. The deeper meaning behind this week’s Solar Eclipse, however, is that it’ll challenge you to reconsider beliefs about your lovability. You don’t seem to have trouble giving love these days, but receiving love — truly being able to accept it — is another story. It’s time to make a change. You are lovable. Period.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

With the ruler of your romance sector, Mercury, now in retrograde motion, this week may be more about dwelling on the past in terms of your love life than anything else. Thankfully, a powerful Solar Eclipse in Scorpio will help you face painful memories of love lost or any betrayal you may have endured that has left you scarred. If you want to let love in, it’s time to give yourself permission to release the grip any trauma has on your heart.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This week, you’re questioning everything you thought you knew about the world and your place in it. Not surprisingly, your ideals regarding love are also being challenged. To err is human, but you sometimes have trouble knowing the difference between a lover’s honest mistake versus an outright deception or lie. This is because you prefer to see the best in others and to love unconditionally. This week you may reexamine any overly naive approach in order to achieve healthier margins in intimate matters. A breakthrough is possible on Sunday.

Today’s Tarot Card for Oct. 14th is The Lovers

The Lovers

Monday, Oct 14th, 2013

Hey, It Is Actually Friday! Blessings To All Our Family & Friends on this “Friday”!

I call to the Spirits of love and light

To help me make my outlook bright

Take away the gloom and doom

With the sweeping of my broom

Cleanse my soul of feelings dark

Where misery has left its mark

Shift my thoughts to patterns new

Within the cauldron’s witchy brew

Ease my heart and mend all hurt

To childlike innocence I revert

Greeting each new day with glee

Amid my magick’s mystery

Negative out and positive in

With this new attitude I begin

To live my life with love and light

And see the world with clearer sight

So Mote It Be

Daily Motivator for October 7th – Love this day

Love this day

Love this day and it will be good to you. Treasure this opportunity to experience life, and the experience will be beautiful.

The progress you seek does not always come in the ways you thought it would. Yet when you seek, and persist, and expect it, that progress does always come.

Don’t let yourself become too troubled by the troubles. Remind yourself to take it all in stride, and you will find great value and richness along the way.

Go forward with clear and positive intentions, seeking to make a beneficial difference for all. In whatever may happen, you will discover new ways to further your authentic purpose.

In its every aspect, life is predominately the way you consider it to be. Consider it to be unique, precious, miraculous, filled with opportunity and abundance, and give each moment of your reality a positive flavor.

Make the decision to love this day, this place, this moment, this special experience of life with the people around you. And there will be so very much to love.

— Ralph Marston

The Daily Motivator

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 7th

Your heart may fill with wanderlust this week, thanks to love planet Venus moving into adventurous Sagittarius on Monday. You’ll be more inclined to take a leap of faith when it comes to romance now until November 5. Be careful, however, not to jump to fast into anything because your unguarded optimism might lead to disappointment. Venus will crash into Neptune on Thursday, creating an atmosphere that could leave you feeling blindsided, thanks to an open, over-trusting heart.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sharing love with a like-minded soul will be especially important to you this week. Love planet Venus enters your 9th House of Intellectual and Spiritual Expansion on Monday. Until November 5, you and your mate will search for the greater meaning of life together — possibly through travel or study. On Tuesday, it might be difficult to communicate about an intimate matter, and if you feel pushed into a corner you’re likely to respond by shutting down altogether. Living in a romantic bubble of denial? On Thursday it might burst.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’ll be easier for you to reveal your erotic side to your partner this week, thanks to Venus moving into your 8th House of Intimacy on Monday. You’ll be more willing to open up to your lover, body and soul, now until November 5. This trend might help nurture your relationship, however, a sober conversation or decision you need to make on Tuesday about the direction of your partnership may tempt you to put the walls right back up. With love these days, it’s one step forward, two steps back.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Expect greater relationship harmony starting on Monday and lasting until November 5. Venus will move through your 7th House of Partnerships, allowing you and your mate to see the best in one another. If you’re in a happy place with someone you’ve recently started to date, this cycle may lead you toward a greater commitment, such as an exclusive relationship, or even a possible engagement. On Thursday, you might feel as if your ideal partnership falls from its pedestal of perfection. This is not necessarily a bad thing — it’ll remind you that your relationship is real and not storybook fodder.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

An office romance may soon heat up. While it might feel as if you’ve finally found someone to love, the quagmire about mixing business with pleasure may also have a chokehold on you. On Tuesday, you and your paramour may decide whether or not you’re ready to risk the potential fallout from exploring a relationship together. If you’re already in a relationship, it’s possible your mate will receive disappointing news about a work situation. Take heart — it’s temporary.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Love is in the air! Venus will move into your 5th House of Romance on Monday, and from then until November 5 you’ll enjoy magnificent potential to attract a new love interest your way. If you’re attached, it’s possible this energy will lead you and your mate to consider starting a family in the near future. One caveat this week: Keep love and money as separate as possible on Thursday. Venus will square off with Neptune, and you’re not likely to see Venusian ruled matters clearly.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Domestic and romantic harmony will go hand-in-hand this week. You and your partner might decide to move forward on a home decorating project, and if so you’re likely to share similar champagne tastes. Whether or not your budget can afford such extravagances, try to remain realistic as you move forward making these home improvements. On Thursday, you might feel a twinge of disappointment when it comes to your relationship and how it affects your family dynamic. Don’t fret, bliss will return by the weekend.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Expect communication between you and your mate to improve dramatically this week. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, will enter your 3rd House of Information on Monday, where she will remain until November 5. Not only will this improve your ability to speak from the heart, but you’ll also find that it’s easier to compromise if there’s a vital decision you and your love need to make together. On Thursday, you might discover that someone has a crush on you at the office. If so, you’ll feel flattered and confused. Now what?

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

As Venus enters your 2nd House of Money on Monday, you’ll notice a definite improvement in your financial situation, but there will be another, more subtle bonus you can certainly take to the bank. This has to do with your confidence and feelings of validation. Your partner will have a stronger ability to make you feel like a million bucks. Maybe you’re just more receptive to his or her compliments now, or maybe you’re actually getting the praise you’ve been missing out on for quite some time. Either way, soak it all in.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re beautiful and you know it! On Monday, Venus will enter Sagittarius, and until November 5 there’s no denying that you’re the fairest of them all. Use your powers of attraction wisely and you’ll have the potential to kiss a prince or princess. On Thursday, however, you may also discover that you’ve kissed a frog. A relative might try to warn you that you’re falling for the wrong one, but you’re not likely to listen. Think twice. Love is blind, but thankfully your family isn’t.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Romantic matters are likely to take a more private turn for you this week. Perhaps you just feel a stronger urge to take time away from the noise of your love life in order to consider the direction your relationship is heading. Or it’s possible you’ll need time to grieve a love that was lost — or one that was never reciprocated. Either way, be gentle with yourself and allow the feelings you’ve tried to keep buried to surface. That’s the only way to heal.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Friendship is a prerequisite to love in your eyes, and this week that will become even more of a requirement. Thankfully, you’ll feel especially connected to someone you’re already partnered up with. In fact, you may discover that exploring a mutual interest together adds extra sparks to your love fest. Consider joining a new club or pursuing a mutual aspiration together. If single, you might meet someone new on the Internet or through a friend’s introduction. The affinity you feel will be uncanny. Love is grand, but when your lover is also your BFF you’ve got it made.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

When it comes to love, you might feel a stronger urge to be with someone you can respect and admire. Venus will enter your 10th House of Status on Monday, and you’ll be more conscious of this desire until November 5. It’s natural to want to be with someone who elevates you, however, on Thursday, if you discover your sweetheart isn’t all he or she appears to be, you may decide to end things. If you remain in an unhealthy relationship because of appearances, you’re in for a rude awakening. The only person you’ll fool is yourself.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Sept. 23rd

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

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

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

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

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

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

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

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

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

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

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

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

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

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of September 9th

When Mercury sails into Libra this Monday, relationships will be on everyone’s mind! Unfortunately, Mars in party-time Leo will be at a tense square to Saturn on the same day. Talk about raining on your parade of fun! Still, Venus glides into sultry Scorpio by Wednesday, which is sure to bring a little bit of sexy back for everyone! In fact, by Saturday, when she dances with Neptune, you might feel like you’re living a romantic fairytale!

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If there’s an important conversation you’ve been meaning to have with your significant other, expect gorgeous cosmic support after Monday. Mercury will enter your 7th House of Partnership, allowing you and your mate to forge agreements and compromise with greater ease. On Wednesday, Venus moves into Scorpio and your 8th House of Intimacy. Oh yes, Aries, it’s time to share those lip-smacking sexual fantasies with your love. Even the taboo ones. Especially the taboo ones.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s fabulous news when it comes to your love life this week! Venus, your ruler and the planet of love and harmony, will enter your 7th House of Committed Partnerships on Wednesday, where she will remain until October 7. During this time you’ll enjoy extraordinary pleasure in your close, intimate partnership. It’s also possible that you and someone you’re dating will decide to make a stronger commitment. In fact, Venus will be at a perfect trine to Neptune by Saturday, suggesting that your prince or princess is near!

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Because you love communication, Gemini, it goes without saying that the fastest way to your heart is through your mind. On Monday and until September 29, you’ll have an incredible edge that will help you achieve this! Mercury, your ruler, will be in your 5th House of Romance. It’ll be easier than ever to share intellectually stimulating conversations with someone you’re dating or romantically interested in. On Wednesday, Venus will enter your 6th House of Work and Health. If single, you might meet someone special at the office or in a health care environment. What better reason to join the gym?

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Love is in the air! Venus will enter your 5th House of Romance this Wednesday, opening up an exciting window of opportunity to meet someone special. If attached, you may fall in love with your mate all over again, as you’ll have a gorgeous chance to fan the flames of desire for one another. Luckily, you’ll enjoy this trend until September 29. In addition, there will be an extra sweet connection between Venus and Neptune on Saturday, promising a love connection that blends body and soul.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Expect your week to start out with a thud in matters of the heart. On Monday, Mars (now in Leo) will clash with Saturn, creating an energetic stalemate. You might lose your sex drive or find that your mojo is temporarily challenged. Thankfully, all will be well by Wednesday and Thursday, when the Moon will be in your 5th House of Romance. You’ll have an extra sweet ability to remain emotionally open, which will capture the heart of anyone you set your sights on.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The week may start out slow when it comes to love, but the universe is saving the best for your weekend — assuring plenty of romantic fun will come your way. On Friday and Saturday, the Moon will tour your 5th House of True Love, giving you plenty of support. You’ll find it easier to share sentiments with someone special, and you’ll be more physically demonstrative in order to show your love. On Saturday, you and your partner might have an inspirational conversation — either about a spiritual matter or the status of your relationship.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

This week you’ll turn into a masterful conversationalist. On Monday, Mercury will enter Libra and you’ll find it easier than ever to communicate about yourself until September 29. Sharing your needs and ideas with a mate will be a snap now, and you might even make an important decision about the status of a relationship. On Saturday, Mars in your 11th House of Friends and Groups will be at a perfect angle to Uranus, now in your 7th House of Relationships. Expect a night of social fun with your partner!

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Starting Wednesday, all eyes will be on you. In fact, you might find that others are so mesmerized that it borders on obsession up until October 7. Venus will move into your sign, which is a once-a-year trend that makes you the “fairest one of all.” In addition to helping improve your inner and outer beauty, Venus will help you attract romantic potential — whether you’re single or attached! Look forward to Saturday, when Venus trines Neptune in your 5th House of Romance. On this day, someone’s kiss will bring you to your knees!

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

When Venus quietly enters your 12th House of Discretion on Wednesday, your love life will quickly go from a public to private event. You might need to take time alone in order to reflect on your feelings for someone until October 7, or to think about a current romantic entanglement. You might also find that you’re pining away for someone you know you can never truly be with. Unrequited love — past or present — might leave you raw and vulnerable. It’s ok to fantasize about a potential lover, but don’t allow yourself to drown in a sea of unrealistic expectations.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

This week might start off slowly when it comes to romantic potential, but by the weekend you’ll surely feel as if you’ve got your mojo back! On Wednesday, Venus will enter your 11th house of friends and groups, where she’ll remain until October 7. During this stretch of time you’ll find plenty of opportunity for love in social settings. Be sure to attend parties, events or meetings that will allow you to mingle with new people. A friend might introduce you to someone special, or you might consider entertaining amorous feelings for a pal. There is no right or wrong here. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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

Your Love Forecast for the Week of September 2nd

With a New Moon in discerning Virgo this week, there might be more of an emphasis on perfection and reaching for impossible standards in love. Romance doesn’t need to go completely out the window, but in order to stop and smell the roses you must first cultivate them. This week, improve your love life by paying attention to what needs a major overhaul or even just a little TLC. The scent of amore will be all the sweeter.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The week starts out playful, thanks to the Moon passing through your 5th house of Romance and Pleasure on Monday and Tuesday. As the Moon creates a gorgeous link to Venus — now in your 7th House of Partnership — you’ll notice how much you enjoy being in the company of your loved one. Nothing special needs to happen; you’ll find joy in each other’s presence. A little compliment will go a long way. Isn’t it nice to feel so loved that all you want to do is love back harder?

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Romantic prospects will shine! On Thursday, a New Moon lights up your 5th House of True Love. If single, you’ll have gorgeous prospects to meet someone new — someone with the ability to make your heart skip a beat! You’re likely to enjoy listening to this person’s conversational style, and you might even feel like you’ve met your intellectual match. By Saturday the Sun will beam at Jupiter, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Sharing coffee and conversation on a date has never been more fun!

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Sharing ideas or a sweet conversation with your lover will be even more fulfilling this week than usual. The Moon will pass through your 3rd House of Communication on Monday and Tuesday, connecting perfectly with love planet Venus. These days will be ideal to have a conversation with someone special about the direction of your relationship, or to simply express how you really feel in this person’s presence. Most likely, he or she has the ability to light up your world. Don’t keep this to yourself.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication this week will set the stage for a vital conversation between you and your sweetheart. This talk will not be lighthearted, but it does have the power to stabilize your relationship and allow each of you to truly understand your obligation to each other. Has there been a test to your commitment recently? This week, you’ll want to talk about it. You’ll clear the air and be in a position to keep any promise you make.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might start out the week being more self-involved, but you’ll still have an ability to capture someone’s heart, thanks to your ability to wear your heart on your sleeve. What will be most obvious about you on Monday and Tuesday is the fact that “what you see is what you get,” and this can be a breath of fresh air. On Saturday, you’ll feel especially valued by someone you love and you might even decide to arrange a surprise for this person. He or she will be delighted at your effort.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A New Moon in your sign this week is a sure signal to the universe that you’re ready for a personal change. On Thursday, this lunation might open up new doors in the relationship department, as well. You may decide to change up your personal appearance in some way, and if so others are certain to notice and appreciate the new look. You’ll be open about your requirements in relationship, including any deal-breaker qualities. Your honesty will be refreshing … to the right person.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your social life will kick up to high gear early in the week, and you might want to consider going out with friends after work to maximize this energy. There’s a good chance for you to meet someone while you attend a meeting for any group you’re a member of, or at any social function. There is also promising potential if you’re interested in meeting someone through a dating website or other social media outlet. Your charm will be contagious!

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Love isn’t always what it seems, and this Wednesday you might relate to this in a personal way. The Moon will oppose Neptune, now in your 5th House of True Love. This might lend itself to an emotional reaction you can’t be sure you trust. Perhaps someone has true feelings for you, but it’s also possible that he or she is playing you for a fool. Thankfully, Thursday’s New Moon will bring new light to the situation, and if you ask a friend to weigh in, he or she will help you gain the clarity you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The week may be quiet in matters of the heart, but by the time the weekend arrives you’ll be buzzing with romantic drama. On Saturday, the Moon will oppose Uranus, now in your 5th House of Romance. Your sweetheart might be “in a mood,” and you’re not likely to have patience for this erratic swing. Thankfully, it’ll be temporary and not an all-consuming drama fest. Still, you may want to spend the weekend apart just to play it safe.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might reach new horizons with your partner this week. On Saturday, a gorgeous sextile between Jupiter and the Sun will help you open up to an exciting adventure with your mate. The two of you may decide to attend a workshop or spiritual retreat together, or you may plan a thrilling vacation to an exotic location. Even if all you do is sign up for a class to learn a new language, the fact that you’re engaging in a brand new experience together is what matters most.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Intimacy issues? Sure, we all face them at some point, but this week you’ll begin to attack yours in the most pragmatic way possible. A New Moon on Thursday will fall in your 8th House Deep Transformation. This will touch on physical, emotional and spiritual resources you share with someone close. What makes you vulnerable and naked on a soul level? This is the hot button you’ll work on fixing so you’ll be able to feel a greater level of trust and openness in your close relationship. Love doesn’t always have to hurt.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This week’s New Moon in your 7th House of Partnerships could be a solid turning point in love. You and someone close may decide to make a commitment to each other, perhaps by moving in together or even by getting engaged or married. If you’re already hitched, you can expect a lovely new development between you and your mate. On Saturday, when the Sun in your 7th house sends a positive signal to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of Romance, sparks are sure to fly!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 26th

We long for peace and quiet today, but the simplistic Taurus Moon isn’t enough to alleviate the cosmic tension that is agitating our lives. Romantic Venus in pleasure-seeking Libra opposes uncontainable Uranus in spontaneous Aries, encouraging reckless behavior that can upset the status quo. However, we still may be confused about what to do or say because the willful Sun and chatty Mercury are engaged in a tug-of-war with surrealistic Neptune.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you have responsibilities to fulfill today, it’s difficult to resist creating a bit of mischief, instead. You want to take a risk and break out of your normal routine, even if you realize self-indulgence isn’t the smartest course of action now. You may attempt to justify your behavior, yet your current judgment might not be very clear. Ask a trusted friend for a different perspective before doing something you will later regret. Following your whims is fine as long as no harm comes to others.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You feel as if you’re wired for pleasure today since your ruling planet Venus opposes electric Uranus. Nevertheless, your intense desires might create an emotional short circuit if you think that satisfaction is out of reach. Your fantasies may be quite unrealistic, but it really doesn’t matter if you believe in your daydreams or not. You don’t need to follow through with every wish. What’s important now is to give yourself permission to imagine what would bring you happiness if anything was possible.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may hope to float through the day on a cloud of romantic illusions, but an unexpected event can shock you out of your reverie. Even if you quickly adapt to a change of plans, you still might overlook the significance of what is happening. Although you could be surprised by what you learn, it’s still wise to contemplate what the cosmos is attempting to tell you. Taking time to interpret your dreams reveals secrets you could otherwise miss.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Someone’s reaction to your request at work today might not be what you expect; however, you can take nearly anything in stride with the right attitude. At first, you may be anxious because you don’t want to confront the unknown, but you’re relieved to learn the truth now, even if it catches you off guard. Don’t let your subconscious motivations mislead you into pushing the information away; integrate the new data and alter your plans as needed before moving on.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are super excited about someone or something new in your life now, but you’re afraid that your current enthusiasm won’t last. You may be overly cautious about letting completely go and enjoying yourself because you believe that your sense of freedom will quickly be restrained by limiting circumstances. Change is inevitable, but worrying about the future doesn’t have to interfere with today’s pleasures. Enjoy the present moment while it lasts.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be surprised by someone’s selfish behavior today and you could even be offended by people’s lack of compassion. Rational analysis won’t help you to understand their actions because logic is not the motivating factor now. Unexplainable changes are to be expected if tension is stressing a relationship. But don’t over-analyze anyone’s motives; simply respond with kindness and honesty. The storm will pass quickly if you keep your heart open and remain flexible in your thinking.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Previously hidden desires may float to the surface today. Your key planet Venus is visiting your 1st House of Self and her opposition to unorthodox Uranus in your 7th House of Relationships can uncover something about your partner that you didn’t previously know. But rather than waiting for anyone to surprise you with an unexpected revelation, take the initiative and be an agent of change, yourself. Embrace the shift proactively instead of resisting it.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You would like to let go of old expectations once and for all and express your current feelings spontaneously today as creative Venus opposes progressive Uranus in your 5th House of Romance. Unfortunately, you might not know exactly what you want. Your emotions are slippery now, making it difficult to choose any one course of action. Nevertheless, you have an amazing opportunity to learn something important about love if you’re willing to relinquish control and go with the flow.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You wish a friend or partner would make a straightforward decision today, but the clarity you seek may continue to be elusive. Instead of receiving a yes or no answer now, you’re required to live with someone’s uncertainty. However, it’s likely that other people’s ambivalence might simply be a reflection of your own, even if you believe that you already made your choice. Don’t push for resolution since it will take time for all the facts to fully emerge. A little patience gives inspiration a chance to strike.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You want to gather as much useful information as you can today, since you might mistakenly believe that the solution to your current dilemma is in having all the facts. Unfortunately, you may be in a hurry now, allowing you to make a wrong assumption and jump to an incorrect conclusion that’s based on your desires. Acknowledge what you want, but be smart and postpone any major decision until your energy settles down. Your path should begin to clear in just a few days, bringing success within your reach.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your craving for connection pushes you one way today, while your need for independence pulls you another. You may long for more intimacy in your everyday life, yet still keep others at an arm’s length if you’re afraid of losing your autonomy. Thankfully, a sudden breakthrough in your awareness can zap your heart open and instantaneously intensify the dynamics of a relationship. If lightning strikes, set aside practicalities and be flexible enough to fully engage the magic of the moment.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your perspective on a close relationship could be challenged today, making you weary of the familiar tensions you feel. You don’t want to argue with your partner over another misunderstanding; nor do you want to waste energy justifying your desires. Your needs are simple now; you just want your heartfelt disclosure to be heard and acknowledged. Avoid ultimatums; just share what you need in a gentle manner and then be patient. The dynamics are shifting quickly and you just may receive what you want.

Daily Feng Shui News for Aug. 13th – 'Festival of the Double Sevens'

Today celebrates the ‘Festival of the Double Sevens,’ which is also known as ‘Chinese Valentine’s Day,’ a day that falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the Chinese calendar. One of the most common and powerful Feng Shui cures to enact on this day is to place an image of the Dragon/Phoenix in the ‘Romance’ corner of your bedroom. Considered by this tradition to be the perfect couple, when paired together these auspicious celestial animals complement and support one another as true life partners. Therefore, joining them in that same romantic space can strengthen or even rekindle a relationship while also promising to improve and sweeten married life. But these beneficial energies don’t just bless existing couples only. If you’re single and looking for love, placing this image in the ‘Romance’ area of your living spaces will greatly increase your ‘marriage luck.’ This is the perfect day to call on this couple so that you too can become a part of a blissful one.

The Witches Spell for July 29th – Spell To Be Open To All Types of Love

Spell To Be Open To All Types of Love

Goal: To open yourself to love in all its forms

Optional extra: White or pink candle

Notes: This spell was originally published in the book “The Goddess Is In The Details.” It is mostly aimed at opening your own heart so that love can come in, rather than drawing in any specific other person. It doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to romantic love—if you are looking for a best friend, then substitute the word “friendship” for lover and put out that intention instead.

Light the candle, then visualize your heart being surrounded by a white light that protects it at the same time it helps you open yourself up to loving and being loved.

“I ask the moon and stars above

To open my heart to perfect love

Striving not, nor chasing after

But open wide to love and laughter.”

“Hopeful am I and willing too

To open myself to lover’s woo

But while I wait for love that’s meant

With myself I’ll be content.”

“I wish for love that’s true and right

Filled with joy and shining light

I release all that which blocks my way

And open my heart to one who’ll stay.”

Valentine’s Day: Another Kind of Love

Spread love to everyone during this Aquarian holiday

Jeff Jawer on the topics of aquarius, love, blogs, astrology

Valentine’s Day is Thursday, February 14. The holiday that celebrates romantic love seems to have nothing to do with the saint for which it was named. Its association with amour began in the 14th century, about 1000 years after the death of St. Valentine. Although it’s a great way to sell chocolate and flowers and, hopefully, to open hearts, the astrological association with the holiday is almost as strange as its connection with a martyred priest.

The Sun is always in Aquarius on February 14. This is the sign of the Water-bearer but it’s not a sentimental Water sign. Aquarius is an Air sign characterized more by the head than the heart. Aquarius is about friendship, community and collective ideals rather than couples. It tends to be chilly, using the intellect to step back from the messy world of feelings to achieve understanding with the mind. Aquarian love is universal rather than personal and usually needs some emotional breathing space and independence to counter the confinement of intimacy.

Valentine’s Day, like Aquarius, is more about an idea than about reality. Its origins in the 14th Century reflect the romanticism of the Middle Ages … which was a model for spiritual rather than erotic love. (Robert Johnson’s book “We” is a good source of information on this subject.) Romantic yearning represented a desire for a divine connection, not personal pleasure. The partner was a symbol for God and the desire to experience sacred union. This model comes closer to Aquarius because it’s an ideal instead of a physical reality.

A higher plane of love

But the myth of romance has permeated culture for so many centuries that we’ve lost sight of its higher meaning. The unspoken expectation of becoming complete within a relationship is bound to produce disappointment. While personal love can be a delicious affirmation of our desirability, and intimacy serves as a bulwark against isolation, human partnerships usually fall short of our highest hopes. The familial, emotional, physical and financial connections we share within them have their divine moments but cannot confer immortality or answer life’s biggest metaphysical questions.

Romantic love comes with strings attached. Desire, jealousy, conflicting values and contrasting tastes are tests for even the most harmonious couples. Chocolate, flowers, champagne, a good dinner and great sex go a long way to erasing the illusion of our separateness but cannot eliminate it entirely. And depending on one person as the source of love is not an Aquarian formula for fulfillment … being part of a community is.

The sign of self-less love

One connection Aquarius has with romantic love is its opposition to Leo. The Lion is the sign of the heart and represents the personal experience of amour. It’s the rising of excitement we feel in the chest when someone arouses our feelings. It is the expression of affection that flatters others and warms ourselves. Yet if Leo is the heart, Aquarius is the circulatory system. The Water Bearer distributes, which is an important message about another kind of love. It is the love of humanity, called “agape” by the Greeks.

Agape aligns with Aquarius’ community consciousness and represents a less personal but equally noble expression of the human heart. Giving to others without expecting anything return is generosity of the highest order. It is a reminder that a truly Aquarian Valentine’s Day gift would be a contribution to a charity or acting as a volunteer for an organization. We can still give our chocolates and flowers for personal romance but contributing to people in other ways will make this day of love even more complete.
