Playful but PracticalOctober 21 – 23 |
Hearts open and heads swell with the Moon in self-important Leo on Friday. Confidence is likely to rise as we’re empowered by a belief in ourselves that encourages risk-taking in relationships. Dramatic gestures are par for Leo’s course, but even more so now because of the Sun’s harmonious alignment with mystical Neptune. This event casts a gauzy aura of mystery and magic over Friday night, which can be very entertaining but hardly representative of lasting reality. Attractions arise easily in this misty atmosphere where reason and common sense may be hard to find. But turning an initial interest into a lasting flame of love will require more than one romantic evening.
Saturday brings a more scrutinizing perspective with a lunar transit into pragmatic Virgo. This analytical Earth sign isn’t into vague promises, laziness and sloppy behavior. Romance and productivity go together in practical Virgo, making this a perfect time to tackle tasks with a willing partner. Developing skills is another positive way to make use of this lunar transit, so taking a class or seminar can be a good way to meet someone or infuse new interest in an ongoing relationship. Virgo’s critical eye, though, tends to spot the tiniest flaws but, obviously, obsessing about them is to be avoided.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 17th
Social activities are exciting and imaginative on Friday with the expressive Leo Moon heading toward an opposition with otherworldly Neptune. This is ideal for a romantic fantasy that can be a delightful escape from the ordinary. Reality sets in on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into practical Virgo which may also create wonderful opportunities to mix work and play.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Thursday and Friday could be rocking romantically with the dramatic Leo Moon hanging out in your 5th House of Love and Play. It is possible to let your imagination get the best of you, creating expectations that can be hard to fulfill. The rest of the weekend looks to be a bit more grounded, but there is a chance that you could enjoy desirable companionship while you are working out or doing chores.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Carefully planning your social calendar could pay off in delightful ways this weekend. The Moon enters well-prepared Virgo and your 5th House of Romance on Saturday, which increases your chances for getting the admiration you deserve. However, it helps if you’re flexible because being too picky can put a damper on your potential for having a good time. Know what you want, but be willing to make adjustments to be with the one you love.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your clever communication skills should come in handy with the bold Leo Moon in your chatty 3rd house on Thursday and Friday. You might meet someone in the course of your daily routine and a casual conversation could heat up and lead to something more intimate. The Moon’s shift into pragmatic Virgo on Saturday indicates you will need to find a way to combine work with pleasure if you want to have fun.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Spending a little money on yourself can boost your morale with the Moon’s presence in your 2nd House of Self-Worth on Thursday and Friday. A bit more confidence will help you behave more boldly and come on stronger in pursuit of who and what you want. If you end up going too far, the rest of the weekend is ideal for serious discussions where you can work out the details that can sometimes make relationships so complicated.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The Moon in your enthusiastic sign on Thursday and Friday adds passion to your already strong personality. Attracting attention should be even easier now as your natural leadership qualities are put to work for everyone to see. The rest of the weekend is more suitable for quiet moments where you get to connect in private and intimate ways. Showing a more serious and responsible side of yourself is sexier than you think.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The Moon enters Virgo on Saturday morning, bringing your emotions to the surface for the rest of the weekend. But instead of feeling overly vulnerable and exposed, this is a wonderful chance to connect with someone on a more personal level. Letting a person see your imperfections is not a turn off, but an invitation to get closer. You may find that being more generous with yourself encourages others to be more accepting of you.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Pals and coworkers can boost your personal life with the outgoing Leo Moon in your 11th House of Groups on Thursday and Friday. Meeting someone through an organization, as a member or volunteer, is also possible. You may want more privacy or just feel the need to escape from the crowd on Saturday and Sunday, as the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Behind-the-Scenes Activities is a signal to relax and avoid the spotlight.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The lively Leo Moon illuminates your 10th House of Responsibility on Thursday and Friday, which should gain you plenty of attention and admiration. Demonstrating your generosity and open-heartedness in a public situation could also pay off in your private life. Connecting with friends is a key to happiness on Saturday and Sunday with a lunar shift into your 11th House of Groups. Being a good team player can be a major plus to your romantic game.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Getting out of town, or at least skipping your regular routine, might be your key to happiness on Thursday and Friday. The Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Faraway Places kicks up the adventurous side of your personality. Being with people from different cultures is a great way to expand your social horizons. Duty calls on Saturday once the Moon slips into hardworking Virgo, but taking care of business can be a strong first step toward a heartfelt connection.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your willingness to open up your heart in a current relationship or when meeting someone new can have a powerfully positive effect on Thursday and Friday. The risk-taking Leo Moon is in your 8th House of Intimacy where it challenges you to take chances if you desire closer connections. If you feel like you’ve exposed too much, the lunar transit into logical Virgo on Saturday is ideal for cleaning up mistakes.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your relationship life gets a big boost when the extroverted Leo Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners on Thursday and Friday. Being more direct about your feelings is worth the risk of feeling a little embarrassed. When your heart is open, it invites others to get closer to you. A lunar shift into your 8th House of Intimacy on Saturday can reveal the work that’s needed to deepen a current union or to find a new one.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may be too busy with work or worries to get your weekend activities started until Saturday when the Moon enters pragmatic Virgo and your 7th House of Relationships. An overly critical partner can be annoying, but he or she may bring up an issue worth addressing. Knowing what you want from others, though, is the key to upgrading your relationship life with the one you’re with or with someone new.
Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, October 15th
After two days of unusual challenges, you will now be dealing primarily with Gemini Moon for most of this weekend. Following a skirmish of 135-degrees between Mercury and Ceres (12:25AM PDT) – an alignment that tends to decrease productivity for several hours – the Moon in Taurus starts a short, void uncertainty cycle at 3:52AM PDT that lasts until 7:16AM PDT. Finish old business on a high note during the void-of-course Moon cycle. Once the Moon shifts into airy Gemini (7:16AM PDT), you can soar like an eagle in arts, crafts, literary pursuits and beloved hobbies. Try your hand at limericks, rhyming poetry or haiku. Play a few tunes on a favorite musical instrument. Fly a kite or toss the Frisbee around. Light-hearted games and good fun are always a welcome accompaniment for the lunar orb in the third sign of the zodiac. On the shadow side, watch out for a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde approach to life where having a split-personality seems par for the course. If you want to dive into computer work or technological research, the Moon joins forces with Uranus via a supportive, 60-degree connection (10:54AM PDT). Take advantage of the fact that the cosmos is going cold turkey on the hard stuff for 24 hours, and keeping major aspects waiting in the wings until tomorrow and Monday.
Today’s Tarot Card for October 14th is The Lovers
The Lovers
This Tarot Deck: Etteilla
General Meaning: 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 Daily Number for October 12th: 3
You may feel as if an important change is taking place within, but are not yet clear about its true nature. You are going through a transforming growth spurt, and may not have much patience with yourself. Don’t try to analyze what’s going on; just roll with it. Romance is highly favored today.

Astro Association: VenusTarot Association: EmpressYour Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 11th
We grow increasingly aware of how our friends, associates and partners restrain our emotional expression today as the impulsive Aries Moon excites our need to share our feelings. But the reactive Aries Full Moon at 10:05 pm EDT opposes the willful Sun in socially conscious Libra, pushing us to balance our desires with the expectations of others. Additionally, the Full Moon’s opposition to hard-nosed Saturn requires us to choose work over play.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The Full Moon in your fiery sign might agitate your anger if you feel blocked by someone who is exerting control over you. Your initial reaction is to just come on stronger and steamroll your way over anyone else’s objections. Unfortunately, you could misjudge the severity of the situation. Don’t waste your energy by creating more conflict. Back down, take a deep breath and seek common ground instead.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
It’s possible that job-related responsibilities have stacked up so high that you want to just run and hide. But burying your head in the sand will not help in the long run — and it might not even alleviate the pressure in the present moment. Rather than trying to handle all your obligations at once, set priorities early in the day. Once you have a sensible plan, work steadily toward achieving your goals. If necessary, you can always pick up the slack tomorrow.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
If your enthusiasm prompted you to go too far yesterday, you might need to make an apology, pull back on the reins and reconsider your next move before you make matters worse. Ironically, your optimism may not be dampened; it’s just that your goals are intertwined with others and you cannot charge off on your own. There’s no reason to be discouraged; regrouping before you push forward again will only increase your chances of success.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Domestic obligations may prevent you from rushing ahead with a new project at work as today’s enterprising Aries Full Moon illuminates your 10th House of Career. Even if you’re uncharacteristically eager to head off on a different professional path, you’ll first have to get the support from your closest friends and family — and it may not be as forthcoming as you wish. Don’t ignore your family responsibilities because your true security depends on having a strong foundation.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your mind is taking you on a wonderful adventure today as the uplifting Aries Full Moon shines in your 9th House of Faraway Places. Although your current vision may be grounded in reality, there’s no shortcut to get from here to there. Face the facts and realize that you may have to manifest this dream the old-fashioned way with a concrete plan, hard work and patience.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Today’s action-oriented Aries Full Moon brightens your 8th House of Shared Resources, encouraging you to collaborate with someone on your project in order to make the most of a current opportunity. Don’t be concerned if you have to give up some control over the direction of your work or if you must share any potential rewards. What you can accomplish in partnership now will outshine what you could have done on your own.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
It’s not easy to set aside your previous agenda and join forces with someone else today, even if a co-worker’s plan sounds intriguing. The assertive Aries Full Moon activates your 7th House of Others, yet its tense opposition to the Sun and restrictive Saturn in your sign makes it difficult for you to be lured off track. Stop worrying about what might have been if you said yes; concentrate on accomplishing the goals you have already set for yourself, instead.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A significant breakthrough in your daily routine can lead you to doing your work more efficiently than ever before. But the potential increase in productivity brought about by today’s spontaneous Aries Full Moon in your 6th House of Habits may require you to move much slower than you prefer. Instead of jumping on the first good idea that comes along now, let your thoughts wander until you know that you have a winner.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Falling in love today is a real possibility with the ardent Aries Full Moon stimulating your 5th House of Romance and Self-Expression. But your current zest for life goes beyond an attraction to someone who excites your heart. Even if you want to pursue a relationship, a fascinating course of study, an intriguing idea or a new hobby, it’s wise to take your time before turning your life upside down. You can always follow your bliss later when it’s not so disruptive.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You’re eager for a blast of something new on the home front, but you may not have the time or energy to turn your plans into reality. The irrepressible Aries Full Moon in your 4th House of Security pushes you to tell your friends and family what you want. However, her opposition to dutiful Saturn in your 10th House of Public Responsibility means that you must satisfy your professional obligations first. Don’t be distracted by a false sense of urgency; patience works in your favor this time around.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may be inclined to suddenly change your schedule today as the unstoppable Aries Full Moon lights up your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. But an unpremeditated shift in your agenda could stir up more than just a bit of excitement as unexpected consequences to your spontaneous behavior take on a life of their own. For now, the solution is easy: focus on your long-term goals and not on the present moment.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You could come up with original ways to make money today because the pioneering Aries Full Moon brightens your 2nd House of Income. But it’s crucial to realize that your enthusiasm could make you believe that an idea is better than it actually will be in reality. Instead of going off on a wild goose chase, take the time to discuss your thoughts with someone you trust and listen carefully to the advice you are given.
Your Daily Number for October 10th: 8
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.

The language of love grows deep, dark and smoky with passion and mystery as interactive Mercury enters intense Scorpio on Thursday. Each word weighs heavy with meaning that can draw two hearts closer together, or wound them with caustic remarks. Even playful comments can sting when they hit sensitive targets, so place kindness above cleverness now.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Friday looks mellow with the Moon’s presence in slow and easy Taurus. But the rest of the weekend will be jumping after the Moon dances into chatty Gemini and your 3rd House of Communication on Saturday morning. Flirting innocently and joking around can be a major source of entertainment, especially if you are single. However, a more romantic environment is one in which you quiet down and discuss grown-up issues to let someone special know the real you.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The Moon in your sensual sign on Friday increases your desire for pleasurable delights. Overestimating someone’s feelings or overindulging your own appetite for fun could be costly. Stretching the boundaries of what you’ll do and who you’ll spend time with is great as long as you don’t go to extremes. Consistency of values and feelings, though, may be harder to find on Saturday and Sunday with the Moon in fickle Gemini. Have fun, but don’t count on anything you hear to be the absolute truth.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Take Friday off to relax without any undue pressure or unrealistic expectations. A little break prepares you for the heightened degree of activity that arrives when the Moon moves into your adaptable sign on Saturday morning. You’re buzzing with ideas and your head might be spinning with too many things to do. Take a deep breath and think about what you really want. Making the right choices in your personal life appears to be your major challenge this weekend.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Going out with friends should be extremely satisfying on Friday night with the Moon lighting up your 11th House of Groups. However, you’ll probably prefer more private forms of socializing during the rest of the weekend after the busy Gemini Moon slips into your 12th House of Privacy on Saturday. Getting away from the noise by yourself or with one quiet and undemanding individual should provide the peace that you’re seeking to clear your mind and heal your heart.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may find yourself in a familiar leadership position on Friday as others depend upon you to set the social agenda. Being a good friend and teammate by sharing authority, though, is more important during the rest of the weekend with the Moon’s visit to your 11th House of Groups. Going out with pals should be exhilarating, but volunteering for an organization could be an excellent way to do good work and connect with someone who shares your values.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The Moon buzzes into busy Gemini on Saturday where it perches at the top of your chart. This lunar placement is great for attracting lots of attention, but can also weigh you down with professional responsibilities. Instead of taking things too seriously, demonstrating your ability to adapt and be lighter in your approach makes you more attractive. No matter the pressures you might face now, there’s still some room for the fun and frivolity you need to keep your heart open.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
On Thursday and Friday the Moon’s presence in your 8th House of Deep Sharing can stir up some strong feelings about what you’re getting and what you’re missing in your relationships. But you can’t help but smile on Saturday and Sunday with the Moon brightening your adventurous 9th House and expanding your social horizons. Connecting with people from faraway places or participating in cultural and educational events that open your head and your heart will take your mind off your romantic worries.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The Moon in earthy Taurus and your 7th House of Partners attracts stubborn people on Thursday and Friday, but the sweet touch of a patient person can make the extra effort worthwhile. On Saturday morning, the Moon flits into fluttery Gemini to provide plenty of mental stimulation. However, inconsistent individuals or your own vacillating feelings make it challenging to know what to expect in an intimate relationship. There’s no need to make promises if you’re unsure of what you want.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The slow pace of others could be annoying later this week, but that will change dramatically on Saturday morning when the Moon enters your 7th House of Partners and the entertaining sign of Gemini. You may be stimulated by a variety of events, but can also find it challenging to deal with someone who can’t stick to a subject or commit to a long-term plan. Keeping things light makes room for fun right now without having to worry about the future.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Thursday and Friday can be so delicious that it’s best to set aside your sense of responsibility so that you’re free to play to your heart’s delight. The sensual Taurus Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance recommends a bit of self-indulgence, making pleasure more important than productivity. Saturday and Sunday, on the other hand, can be filled with distractions that make it hard to settle into a comfortable groove. Do your best to relax and adapt by keeping your sense of humor in good working order.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The best strategy would be to take care of business during the week so you are ready to play on Saturday and Sunday. The mood-setting Moon in flirtatious Gemini brightens your 5th House of Romance, which makes pleasure a top priority. Don’t take yourself too seriously now because this lunar transit isn’t about sticking to rules or following a rigid plan. Pretending that you don’t have to think about tomorrow allows you to feel funny, flirty and free.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
This weekend is not the ideal time to make a major personal decision. The Moon enters chatty Gemini on Saturday, which is excellent for talking freely but not for arriving at accurate conclusions. Sure, you may feel uncertain and unsettled, but if you can process these emotions without committing to any specific action, you’ll discover a wider range of options to choose from in the future. Plus, taking your mind off your worries increases your chances for having fun right now.
Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, October 9th
The watery Pisces Moon continues to bathe us in waves of magical feelings. But our idealistic fantasies may fade today as beautiful Venus stirs the emotional stew by entering shadowy Scorpio to intensify our desires. But this heavy cosmic message, though profoundly passionate, is countered by rational Mercury’s intelligent quintile to assertive Mars in bright Leo. Ultimately, the simple act of forgiveness can turn the darkness into light.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your natural enthusiasm might be tested today, causing you to consider a new approach in a relationship. Intense interactions with a friend or partner could raise issues that reveal the limitations of your current perspective. Even if the facts make you uncomfortable now, ignoring them is not an option. You’ll need to push into the unknown if you want to make real progress.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be worried about the direction that a relationship has taken, yet you might believe that you still have more time before you have to determine a new course. Typically, you prefer your life to be sweet and simple. However, it’s probably a smart idea to leave a few loose ends dangling now. Delay declaring your final decision until the ambiguity begins to fade.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Unraveling your romantic feelings may be a significant part of your day, yet it’s difficult to know where your heart will lead you now. You could grow frustrated if you try to force clarity. In the meantime, minimize stress by sticking to your regular routine and get plenty of rest. Making small improvements to your diet and exercise program today is more important than solving the mystery of love.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Even if you’re feeling pretty good about yourself today, you’re not yet ready to let go of a persistent issue that continues to bother you. Unfortunately, you could obsess over an insignificant molehill until it turns into a formidable mountain. Stay conscious of your thoughts at all times; placing your attention on the positive aspects of love is much healthier than concentrating on the negativity of fear.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Although you’re feeling pressured to meet your obligations today, you could be tempted to withdraw emotionally and let everyone wait until you return. Your decision to socially disengage might not be well received by someone who wants you to perform, but pleasing others shouldn’t be your main concern now. Instead, listen to your intuition and retreat until you feel ready to take on the world.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might feel insecure about your role in someone else’s life today, yet discussing your concerns doesn’t seem to help. You cannot find the answers you seek now because the longer the conversation lasts, the less clear your partner becomes. Ironically, your best strategy may be to keep your worries to yourself for a while longer and see where the energy leads. But don’t isolate yourself from those you love, for their support is probably exactly what you need.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may still be feeling the weight of responsibility on your shoulders today, even though you rationally know it’s not your job to make everything okay. But you’re happiest when your friends and family are doing well, so sometimes it’s challenging to discern their comfort from yours. There’s nothing wrong with helping others, just keep in mind that everyone else needs to contribute a fair share, too.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You feel as if you’re ready to let go of something from the past, but aren’t quite sure yet how to move forward. Nevertheless, sweet Venus’ return to your sign enables you to get what you want in a relationship. Instead of trying to make progress on an old issue, concentrate on ways to transform your current stress into positive action. Improving the quality of your life in the here-and-now is more important than reaching a new destination.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You might choose to spend much of your day at home today, especially since Venus’ shift into your 12th House of Privacy makes solitude sound appealing. But postponing a fun social event may not be as good an idea as it seems, for you would benefit from the balance that being with friends will provide. Take control of your life by planning your schedule so you can make time to do it all.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s nearly impossible to guess what your future will look like by simply observing what’s happening right now. You are continuing on the same trajectory that brought you here, but now you have an opportunity to choose a destination of your liking. Just remember that the current transformations will be gradual and you don’t need to know where you’re heading just yet. Instead of being lured by all the potential today, take care of one practical task at a time.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are driven to tell others exactly what you want today and are eager to get started. However, your ambitions may be more complicated than anyone realizes, making it more difficult to justify your goals. Keep in mind that your dreams don’t have to be public knowledge yet. Your personal choices are a private matter until you’re ready to reveal them.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your hopes are high, but you may not know what to do now in order to reach your goals. With the dreamy Moon in your sign today, it’s not a good idea to put pressure on yourself to create a plan. Instead, just keep refocusing your attention on your ideal destination and make each decision based upon whether your response furthers your progress or not. This radical strategy requires you to trust in the universe; fortunately, having faith isn’t that difficult for you.
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 30 – Oct. 2
by Jeff Jawer
No Holding BackSeptember 30 – 2 |
Friday starts out with the Moon in steamy Scorpio, which is great for subtle seduction — indirectness and hints of interest can be especially enticing now. The evening ends with a lunar transit into high-spirited Sagittarius where there’s little room for secrets or subtlety. There’s no holding back in this enthusiastic sign, which is wonderful for being open and honest, but a tad insensitive in its delivery. Exuberant Sagittarius is restless and seeks new experiences, so exploring unfamiliar places, engaging in outdoor activities or examining intellectual pursuits is especially exciting. There’s little interest in sentiment as ruminating over the past can seem outdated and irrelevant.
Pushing the envelope by taking physical, mental and emotional risks is where the fun is this weekend. There’s a playful kind of competitiveness that’s not so much about beating the other person, but more about pushing both of you as far as you can go. Be careful with humor, though, because in the midst of hilarity it’s possible to say something that you might regret. The easygoing attitude of Sagittarius can give rise to careless remarks and reckless behavior. And the unbridled optimism of this sign may tempt you to make promises you won’t keep or raise your expectations too high. Joyfully enjoying the present moment without looking longingly backward or thinking too far ahead sounds just about right.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 27th
The Moon’s shift into socially astute Libra at 12:50 am EDT places relationships under the spotlight. The New Moon at 7:08 am marks a turning point as we consider what’s negotiable and how to get along better with others. However, the pile-up of five planets in easygoing Libra now might take us by surprise as harsh lunar aspects reinforce mental Mercury’s tense opposition to rebellious Uranus and Mars’ uneasy quincunx to ominous Pluto.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Today’s New Moon emphasizes your 7th House of Partnerships, shifting your attention from your personal needs toward those of your friends. You instinctively know what others need and make them feel at ease now before they are even aware of your swift intervention. Don’t be overly intrusive by assuming everyone wants your help. There may not be a valid reason to get involved unless you are asked. Sometimes good intentions aren’t enough.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The diplomatic Libra New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, making it easier for you to prioritize your tasks and negotiate which jobs can be delayed and which must be done right away. You can turn on the charm, enabling you to work well with with others. Fortunately, you’re able to keep up with everything that happens today, even if your efforts aren’t appreciated until later.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
The next few weeks may bring you a new love or revitalize a current relationship. The lovely Libra New Moon reignites your 5th House of Romance and Creativity, which is a propitious sign for you to accomplish as much as you can today. Don’t hesitate; getting started quickly will free up more time later on for pleasurable pursuits.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Walking down Memory Lane isn’t a new experience, yet today it raises significant issues that you have already considered. Luckily, you can manage your emotions in order to avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, don’t get lost in your nostalgic meanderings. Instead, strive to concentrate on the present moment, rather than slipping off into dreamland.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Although you would like to believe that you know what’s best for you now, it’s still necessary to take enough time to consider the wishes of those around you. Even if you are trying to demonstrate your independence, it’s difficult to set your schedule today before you talk with others in your group. Once you know more about their needs, you’ll be able to better determine your agenda for the day.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You must make a decision about money today, but your options aren’t as definitive as you wish. Unfortunately, the indecisive Libra New Moon in your 2nd House of Finances makes it difficult to get the perspective you were seeking. You may go back and forth without being able to choose, but nothing positive will stem from being too hard on yourself. Wait a few days before completely committing one way or the other.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Today’s New Moon in your sign signals a sudden break from your past if you are ready to place your new intentions into action. But first you must express your desires clearly enough so they can have the impact you desire. Channeling your ideas into practical goals can get you going, but enthusiasm isn’t the only thing that counts. There’s no getting around that you must follow through with perseverance and good old-fashioned hard work.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Although you’re usually able to keep a secret at any cost, a particular issue could be the source of trouble today. You really want to tell someone everything you know because you believe it will increase your intimacy. Unfortunately, you could go against your promise and spill the beans. But your confidence might be low and you could feel as if whatever you do will turn out wrong. Postpone your conversation until later in the day, when you will have more objectivity at your disposal.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your social calendar is already jumping, but now you get to take the energy up a notch since the Libra New Moon emphasizes your 11th House of Friends. Give yourself plenty of time to bask in stimulating discussions with like-minded people. Don’t wait too long to gather a group together, for everyone benefits when you share your dreams and your optimistic visions about what ahead.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Today’s Libra New Moon falls in your 10th House of Public Responsibilities, stirring your ambitions and reminding you of all that you have accomplished. But there still may be more for you to do before starting a new project. Consider the pros and cons of taking on more work prior to saying yes on a job that could leave you exhausted. Creating a healthy balance between work and play is ultimately more fulfilling.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You have an opportunity to expand your horizons now by investigating an exciting and innovative idea. Gathering information about different courses of study should help you decide about school or additional on-the-job training as today’s New Moon activates your 9th House of Higher Education. Just don’t limit the possibilities to practical subjects; go ahead and break out of your self-imposed limitations by exploring a wildly different subject.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your compassionate approach to other people’s problems can open a door to the possibility of greater intimacy now that the gracious Libra New Moon falls in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Don’t let your fear of the unknown stand between you and someone special. Instead, maintain a balanced approach to the mysteries of love. Exploring the uncharted shadows of a relationship isn’t as scary as it might seem at first.
Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for Sept. 26th
While romance is always fun, taking relationships more seriously is top priority this week. The love planet Venus runs into responsible Saturn on Thursday, indicating that patience, maturity and commitment are especially valuable now. If loneliness is an issue, creating a regular routine of play, artistic expression or self-improvement can enhance your self-worth and make you a more inviting partner.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You might feel like others are being tougher on you than usual this week, but the point is to force you to be clear about your expectations in relationships. It’s time to fully commit to your current partner or to make whatever long-term changes are necessary. Be patient; investing more of yourself in your present alliance or working harder to attract a new one is a process that will not happen overnight.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Growing closer with someone requires a willingness to stretch your boundaries this weekend. The Moon is traveling through risk-taking Sagittarius and your 8th House of Intimacy, challenging you to be more honest about your desires, but also encouraging you to keep an open mind. If you adopt an experimental approach, new forms of play can revive passion with your present partner or help you attract a playful new companion.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
The adventurous Sagittarius Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners this weekend, inspiring you to test your flirtatious charms on someone special. However, there may be a tendency to promise more than you can deliver or an urge to commit to an overly optimistic person. If the relationship is solid, making big plans together is reasonable; but if you’re uncertain for any reason, don’t let your enthusiasm drown out your common sense.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
It might be hard to find the sincere connection you crave as the Moon fires into lighthearted Sagittarius late on Friday night. This lunar transit tends to put people in a sales mode that presents positive pictures even if they don’t accurately reflect the facts. Taking a break from dealing with challenging emotional issues is fine as long as all you’re seeking is a good time and you aren’t planning something serious.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You can be in total play and romance mode this weekend when the Moon dances into risk-taking Sagittarius and your expressive 5th house late on Friday night. Taking a chance on love could be your theme now as you’re eager to put your heart on the line. Your outgoing behavior is bound to attract attention, although if you come on too strong, you might scare away someone who’s much more timid than you.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Entertaining a special person at your place sounds about right this weekend. The Moon’s presence in your domestic 4th house makes you feel more comfortable when you’re the home team. If you feel safe enough, sharing a deeper level of honesty and a greater willingness to show your playful side are likely. Keeping your expectations on an even keel, though, could be the key to having a pleasurable time without any drama.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You’ve got the gift of gab this weekend and are likely to feel at ease conversing with just about anyone. The carefree Sagittarius Moon is in your 3rd House of Communication, which can turn a walk around the block into an exotic outing. You’re turned on by interesting ideas and inquisitive minds, enabling a simple learning experience to be sexy. However, finding someone who can take a joke is a must if you want the connection to last.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The Moon in rowdy Sagittarius is meant to inspire the playful and worry-free side of your personality this weekend. Set aside your serious concerns about the future and put away your unfinished emotional business from the past. You’re free to play with abandon now, which will make you feel a lot more comfortable with yourself and a much more desirable companion for someone else.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The mood-setting Moon rockets into your adventurous sign late on Friday to set your emotions on fire this weekend. Every moment can seem larger than life, creating higher highs and also dramatizing the lows. It’s healthy to recognize when your reactions are out of sync with reality. Still, you’re unlikely to go unnoticed when your personality is popping like champagne corks on New Year’s Eve. Make the most of the spotlight, but try not to take yourself too seriously in the process.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Getting as far away from your usual routine as possible is a smart move this weekend while the restless Sagittarius Moon is camping out in your 12th House of Retreats. Whether you just cut yourself off from the rest of the world to find the peace you seek or embark on an adventure in a strange environment, change is a good thing. Just be very discreet about who you’re with and what you say since secrets have a tendency to leak and cause their own brand of trouble.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Hanging out with pals or working within a group should suit you perfectly this weekend. The visionary Sagittarius Moon is in your 11th House of Community, kicking your idealistic principles up another level. The best chance for meeting someone special is when you’re out helping others, or you can strengthen an existing bond while contributing to a worthy cause. Combining personal pleasure with charitable work is a win-win proposition.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The optimistic Sagittarius Moon’s presence in your 10th House of Public Responsibility could put you on the spot this weekend. Others are looking to you for leadership, which gives you a perfect chance to show how much you care. But spending so much time and energy encouraging and guiding your colleagues could leave you with fewer resources for yourself. Setting healthy boundaries is vital to your well-being now. Ironically, earning respect may not sound sexy, yet it could easily lead to romance.
The Power of Affirmations
The Power of Affirmations
Reversing Ours Fears and Negativity
From Gail Bell
Affirmations1 are words or phrases which are said over and over to AFFIRM a single thought about yourself or other people. This is the way you have formed negative and positive programming through out your lifetime, saying things to yourself, about yourself, over and over. After thoughts are repeated, they soon become a BELIEF, and then we think this belief is our reality. In this way we form fears of poverty, health, weight and relationships and the emotions connected with these beliefs can even become our comfort zone, no matter how negative they might be.
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:
- I AM POWERFUL
- MONEY (LOVE, GOOD HEALTH, PERFECT WEIGHT, ETC.) COMES TO ME EASILY AND EFFORTLESSLY
- I AM ALWAYS BALANCED AND CENTERED
- I AM IN PERFECT HEALTH
- I GIVE AND RECEIVE LOVE ALL THE TIME
- I AM JOYFUL
- I LOOK AND FEEL WONDERFUL If it takes saying them over and over a thousand things a day, then do it. If you say an affirmation when you are feeling really down, and you don’t think it’s doing anything for you, just keep on. Every time you say something positive you will bit by bit feel better. A little bit of feeling better is better than lots of feeling depressed.
Go for it, and live in Love, Peace and Joy

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 20th
We can choose to engage or avoid nearly any issue today because the whimsical Gemini Moon allows us to tune a conversation in or out as if it is a radio station. However, the Moon’s shift into tenacious Cancer at 2:53 pm EDT makes it tougher to simply let go of our feelings as we attach our desires to a preferred outcome. Nevertheless, the Moon’s dynamic square to electric Uranus this evening can temporarily free us from emotional dependence.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may be fast-talking early in the day, but you could grow tired of listening to the sound of your own voice. Once the Moon slips into emotional Cancer, you might think that it’s wiser to say nothing at all. However, withholding your desires can be as problematic as sharing too much information. Fortunately, you don’t need to encourage a melodrama that evolves from an all-or-nothing strategy. Walk away from the internal tug-of-war and just appreciate every moment for what it is.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Financial pressures may turn a wonderful day into one filled with angst. It helps to remember that there are some things that are simply out of your control today, including how much money you have on hand. Still, you’re responsible for specific behaviors that can immediately impact the current situation. For example, spending less can truly work in your favor now. A conservative approach ensures that you’ll have what you need tomorrow.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You might not be very cooperative today, even if you care deeply for your friends and associates. You want others to be successful at whatever they choose to do, but you prefer to keep the energy low-key and not share your feelings. Although conserving your energy is a smart strategy now, it won’t hurt to just nod your head in approval so others, at least, know that you heard what was said. The best plan might be to take a bit of time to be alone so you can sort out your thoughts.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
The Moon’s return to your contemplative sign this afternoon may raise issues of doubt about your chosen path. You have a way with words now and might choose to hide your uncertainties behind a mask of humor. Unfortunately, your desire to acquire something beautiful could create its own complicated story. Postpone a non-essential purchase and focus on building trust, instead.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Attending to financial issues can take precedence today over encouraging the whimsical dreams of others. As much as you might want to help a friend turn a fantasy into reality, don’t let your concentration on the material world lapse. You may need to set aside some of your big-hearted generosity in order to get serious about money. Take care of business first so you can offer your support later.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You know what must be done today, but might be paralyzed with fear of doing something wrong. You probably have taken on a lot of responsibility at work, but when you return home later, you’ll still need to handle unfinished domestic chores. Don’t let all your running around during the day distract you from the important personal work that still needs to be addressed. Your desire for perfection doesn’t need to get in your way.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your romantic dreams motivate you to take action, so you don’t end up stuck in a world of illusions without achieving success. But accomplishing your goals may not bring you the recognition you want or the love you seek. Being caught up in an exciting flurry of emotions is invigorating, yet it’s still crucial to refocus on your core beliefs before taking care of business.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your issues about your family of origin are more pressing today, possibly bringing a tough situation to a head. Although you might prefer to sidestep a direct confrontation and move on, you can feel your emotions gaining in strength and you know something will have to give way. Naturally, it’s healthier to express your concerns before they become serious problems. Resolve your differences quickly and aim to handle potential conflict before it reaches a critical state.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may have a variety of things to do today, yet it’s significant that you keep up the appearance of being a strong leader at work and at home. However, you might not know the exact recipe to make this happen. Forget about the how-to book filled with step-by-step instructions. Instead, reclaim your power by trusting your instincts.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your current dilemma pits your need for independence against your desire for relationship security. Unfortunately, there aren’t any quick fixes to your deep cravings for a meaningful and spiritual connection. You may long to rediscover a missing sense of purpose that you set aside to climb a corporate or social ladder. Instead of expecting everything to make sense today, simply focus on the most immediate tasks and leave the bigger issues for another day.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You have been moving quickly to keep up with all the social activities in your life. Now, however, it’s time to slow down and reconnect with the more mundane aspects of your existence, such as work. But don’t bother making big plans or looking too far ahead, or you’ll just end up in a state of confusion. Save the dreaming for another day while you focus on the current daily grind.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Someone may not approve of what you are doing, but you aren’t sure why. The more you investigate, the more convoluted the whole situation becomes. You may be ready to give up and simply let the winds of change carry you wherever they will. Unfortunately, your current obligations prevent you from escaping today because other people are counting on you and you can’t just run out on them.
Weekly Love Horoscopes for the Week of Monday, September 19th
Relationship season begins on Friday when the Sun enters peace-seeking Libra, the sign of partnering. Greater consciousness of what it takes to make unions work is a potential benefit during the next thirty days. However, a provocative Mars-Uranus trine on Friday may trigger shocking surprises and powerful impulses that can shake existing alliances or break open the possibilities for very different kinds of new ones. Adaptability is essential during these changing times; standing still is no longer a viable option.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’re ready to be your rowdy and rambunctious self this weekend when the Moon visits your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. Taking some playful risks is difficult to resist now that experimental Uranus is activating your passionate ruling planet Mars. It’s a good time to have fun without concerning yourself too much about long-term consequences.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be a little off your game on Friday and Saturday with the Moon traveling through your 6th House of Adjustments. However, making compromises can pay off on Sunday with a lunar shift into your 5th House of Romance. Creating specific plans for a special outing is likely to be rewarded with plenty of pleasure. Yet trying to improvise at the last minute could leave you feeling less appreciated than you like.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
There are plenty of good reasons to be as outgoing as possible this weekend. The Sun’s entry into your 5th House of Self-Expression on Friday sets you up to attract plenty of attention. And, the Moon’s presence in bold Leo and your chatty 3rd House on Friday and Saturday makes it easy to demonstrate your creativity and meet new people in the process. Your playful comments, though, may be taken seriously unless you make it perfectly clear that you’re only joking.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Making peace with the past is the best way to ensure a more fulfilling relationship future. The Sun enters harmonious Libra and your 4th House of Roots on Friday, offering you a completely different perspective on your personal history. Instead of running the gamut between high hopes and deep doubts, finding your inner emotional balance will put you in a much more comfortable place.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The Moon’s presence in your outgoing and dramatic sign on Friday and Saturday can unleash your inner party animal. You’re not going to go unnoticed, even if you have to go to extremes to get attention. Still, if you act with reckless abandon, prepare to shift from public boldness to gentleness in private to create the heart connection you desire.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s tempting to stand on the sidelines and find fault with others on Friday and Saturday. The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Privacy tends to make you feel like an outsider. But on Sunday the mood-setting Moon enters your pragmatic sign, giving you the green light for making a move. Just remember that an open heart and generous spirit are worth more than perfect looks or exemplary behavior.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The Sun’s entry into your sociable sign on Friday is likely to put you in a more outgoing mood. Hanging out with playful friends or participating in a fun group event can really get your motor going on Friday and Saturday. Being the leader of the pack is certainly a good way to earn attention and respect, enabling you to show a more confident side of your personality which makes you more captivating to your admirers.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Of course, you can always find flaws when you look for them, but that’s a good way to sideline your social life this weekend. The Moon is in expressive Leo and your 10th House of Career on Friday and Saturday, which can put you in a position of responsibility. Handling your obligations with a playful attitude and a generous heart lightens your load and casts you in a bright spotlight of desirability.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your restless spirit is stoked for adventure with the Moon traveling through your 9th House of Faraway Places on Friday and Saturday. Connecting with someone from a different culture or experiencing art, food or music from other countries can provide the spice to make this a delicious time. If you have a partner, try doing something totally new together, since sticking to familiar activities lacks the excitement you need now.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Dealing with an overheating individual is possible this weekend with the fiery Leo Moon lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy on Friday and Saturday. While you might be right to be skeptical about someone who promises too much, it’s probably wise to open up a little bit in your approach. Taking chances may not be your usual practice, but when it comes to matters of the heart, this is a time to push your luck.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The Moon is moving through your relationship houses all weekend, putting partnership concerns on the front burner. Let your brain work less and your heart open more on Friday and Saturday when the Leo Moon rewards those who take risks. A lunar shift into logical Virgo on Sunday is when it’s appropriate to adopt a more practical view of the situation and make whatever adjustments are needed.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The Moon is the key to your emotions, and she sits below the horizon in your chart this weekend until the wee hours on Sunday morning. That’s when the fun begins for you, because your chances of connecting with someone new or making improvements in a current relationship are likely. Remember that you can be specific about your needs and still be a loving and generous person.
Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, Sept. 18th
We can change our minds on a whim today with the Moon’s shift into dualistic Gemini at 4:06 am EDT. Although this transit is normally lighthearted, today’s changeable Gemini Moon is countered by an intense square from needy Venus to passionate Pluto. One moment we are easygoing and the next we’re deep in an emotional drama. We are likely to build momentum when energetic Mars shifts into expressive Leo later in the evening.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You aren’t one to be threatened or pushed around, yet you might respond too strongly today when dealing with someone who seems to be on your case. Unfortunately, you probably don’t even realize how overbearing you can sound. Your smartest strategy is to downplay any emotions that may surface now so you don’t scare others away. Be gentle in your approach no matter how intense your feelings are in the moment.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your ruling planet Venus dynamically squares relentless Pluto today, possibly creating discord in love or an argument over the control of finances. However, there may be more going on than is apparent and the real reason for conflict isn’t necessarily the obvious one. The current situation may actually be the designated playing field for a deeper issue. Keep in mind that there’s no reason to avoid what you don’t understand.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You know that sharing your uncomfortable feelings can act as a catalyst that transforms them into healthier expressions of your needs. But talking about psychological issues isn’t that simple, especially if you say one thing yet mean something else. You may think that you are being very clear, yet others may not understand what you’re trying to explain today. Nevertheless, taking the time now to connect with your friends in a deeper way enriches your relationships and brings you comfort.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You can see how someone special is engaging you in an intense process now that has the potential to transform who you really are. Your initial reaction could be to run, but a magnetic attraction keeps you connected, even if you think it’s not such a good idea. Although you attempt to set clear boundaries to protect yourself from losing control, you might be unhappily surprised to discover that you’re in deeper than you thought. Don’t withdraw; ultimately, the change will do you good.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may realize that you’re in over your head as the fervent Venus-Pluto square raises the heat on a romance. You’re not feeling as casual as you expected; something is changing and you’re more inclined to play to win. Paradoxically, you may be simultaneously pulled toward a more metaphysical orientation to love. Don’t lose your perspective; be smart and maintain a healthy balance between a physical and spiritual approach to relationships.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your strong feelings today bring up serious issues around your basic values. Differences seem insurmountable if you and your partner have divergent views. Attempts to convince the other person of his or her guilt are fruitless. Instead of pointing blame at anyone else, try a more cooperative approach now. Follow your dreams as they guide you along, while encouraging others to do the same.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
There might be hidden truths that need to be spoken today. Or, maybe, someone is attempting to keep his or her true feelings secret behind a protective wall. Being intelligent and removing yourself from danger is always wise, but this situation is less about being safe than it is about fearful isolation. Fortunately, resourceful Venus is in your corner now, enabling you to calm down and figure out what makes the most sense. Your natural inclination to create harmony will set the right tone for an honest conversation.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You intend to honor your integrity as you strive to connect to a deeper set of emotions that were recently stirred. However, you are intelligent enough to realize that sharing your true feelings now is probably counterproductive. Sweet Venus squares domineering Pluto, indicating stress that arises from not knowing how much you should reveal. There’s no hurry; wait a few more days before climbing too far out on a limb.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You want to focus your attention on the intriguing adventures down the road, but you must first handle difficult feelings in the present moment. You might try to avoid directing your negativity at a loved one, or, maybe jealousy has sneaked in past your defenses and is now fueling a feud. You would prefer to take the high road, but denial won’t solve the underlying problems. Your friends might have good advice, but you will have to ask for their help before they’re willing to step in and give it.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You would like to be practical, yet circumstances can pull you into a heavy emotional stew today where nothing is clear. You could be annoyed with someone who pushes your buttons, but then won’t follow through with a constructive discussion. Even if you’re willing to talk about love, the key players may be at cross-purposes with one another. Don’t be overly concerned because the energies will shift significantly over the days ahead.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Everyone is taking you more seriously these days, yet you’re afraid this phase won’t last too much longer. Somehow you still can find the time to create an emotional drama with an intimate partner, especially if he or she thinks that your long-term plans are illogical. Be careful, because you could become obsessed with a current idea, even if it ultimately makes little sense. Listen to the advice you receive with a flexible mind and an open heart.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your attraction to a loved one is complicated today by unexpressed negativity or by your belief that others are attempting to coerce you into agreeing with them. Fortunately, you are way too clever to be dominated by someone’s show of force now and you can quickly escape from the clutches of insecure emotions. Stay diligent; it will take a few more days until you’re able to put some time between you and your past.
Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, September 17th
We long for a bit of peace today, but the simplistic Taurus Moon isn’t enough to resolve the cosmic tension that is currently pulling on us. Friendly Venus in relationship-oriented Libra opposes irrepressible Uranus in impulsive Aries, encouraging wild behavior that can appear reckless even if it’s fun. But we may be confused about what to do and what to say because assertive Mars forms stressful aspects with talkative Mercury and foggy Neptune.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You know what you agreed to do today, but you have a twinkle in your eye and may not be able to resist creating a bit of mischief, instead. You’re eager to take a risk and break out of your regular routine, even if you know it’s not the smartest course of action. Although your judgment isn’t very clear now, you still might try to justify your behavior. Ask someone you trust for another perspective before doing something you regret.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your ruling planet Venus opposes electric Uranus today, wiring you for pleasure. But your intense desires can create an emotional short circuit when you realize that satisfaction is just out of reach. Your daydreams may be unrealistic, but it really doesn’t matter if you make your fantasy real or not. 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 might try to float through the day on a cloud of illusions, but an unexpected turn of events can shock you out of your dream state. Even if you’re able to field a curve ball at work or at home, you still might miss the significance of what is happening. Although you may be surprised by what happens, take the time to contemplate what the cosmos is attempting to tell you.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Although someone’s reaction to your request may not be what you expect, you should be able to take it in stride. You might be concerned at first because you don’t particularly like confronting the unknown, but even if you’re caught off guard today, you’re relieved to know the truth. Don’t let subconscious motivations trick you into pushing away the new information; integrate what you learn and change your plans before moving on.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You might be very excited about someone or something new in your life now, but you have a sneaking suspicion that your high level of interest won’t last. You may be cautious about letting go and enjoying yourself because it’s obvious that your sense of freedom will quickly run into limiting circumstances. Change is inevitable, but worrying about future responsibilities doesn’t need to interfere with today’s pleasures.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may be put off by someone’s selfish behavior today and you could even be offended by other people’s lack of compassion. Unfortunately, you won’t likely be able to understand their actions because logic is not the motivating factor now. Unexplainable changes are to be expected if tension is stressing a relationship. Don’t overanalyze things; just respond with kindness and honesty. The storm will pass quickly if you remain flexible in your thinking.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your key planet Venus is visiting your 1st House of Self and her opposition to radical Uranus in your 7th House of Relationships can awaken previously hidden desires or uncover something about your partner that you didn’t know. Instead of waiting for a friend to shock you with an unexpected revelation, take the initiative and be an agent of change. You will be happier now if you embrace the shift instead of resisting it.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You might wish that you could release your old expectations and express your feelings today as unconventional Uranus in your 5th House of Romance opposes loving Venus. But you may not know what you want; your emotions are slippery now, making it tough to choose a direct course of action. Nevertheless, you have a perfect opportunity to learn something important about yourself if you’re willing to relinquish control and go with the flow.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Although you wish a friend or partner would make a straightforward decision today, clarity may continue to be elusive. You won’t likely receive a yes or no answer now, requiring you to be satisfied with someone’s uncertainty. Don’t push for resolution because it may take time for the facts to emerge. It’s possible that other people’s ambivalence might be a reflection of your own, even though you believe that you have already made your choice.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You could mistakenly believe that the solution to your current dilemma is in having all the facts, prompting you to gather as much useful information as you can. Unfortunately, you are not very cautious now, so you could jump to an incorrect conclusion that’s based on your desires instead of what is practical. Be smart and postpone any major decision until your energy settles down; your path should begin to clear in a few days.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your desire for an emotional connection pulls you one way while your need for independence pulls another as your key planet Uranus stands off in a tense tug-of-war with sensual Venus. You may wish for more intimacy in your everyday life, but might keep others at a distance if you’re afraid of losing autonomy. Fortunately, a sudden breakthrough in your awareness can open your heart and change the dynamics of a relationship. Set aside practicalities and be flexible enough to respond to the magic of the moment.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may be weary of the tension you feel in a close relationship if your perspective is challenged again today. You don’t like the idea of arguing with your partner; nor do you want to waste energy justifying your desires. Your needs are simple; you just want your heartfelt expression to be heard and acknowledged. This isn’t a time for ultimatums; just let others know what you need in a gentle manner and remain patient while waiting to see the results. The dynamics are shifting quickly and you just may receive what you want.
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 18th
by Jeff Jawer
Expect the UnexpectedSeptember 16 – 18 |
The Moon’s presence in sensual Taurus is a signal to slow down and smell the roses this weekend. Enjoying the sweet pleasures of life with touch, scents, sounds and sights creates a lovely baseline of enjoyment that’s available with or without a partner. Taurus the Bull, though, can sometimes be stubborn and even a little cheap. But a lunar conjunction with indulgent Jupiter on Friday morning blesses us with a major dose of generosity and optimism. The easy way in which we can express our feelings is another source of delight inspired by the Moon’s cozy connection with brainy Mercury later in the day.
Sociable Venus faces unpredictable Uranus very early on Saturday morning, manifesting erratic behavior, romantic surprises and strange attractions throughout the weekend. Whatever ripples of weirdness roll through relationships should be smoothed over with a cooperative Sun-Moon trine on Saturday afternoon. However, late that night the foggy mists of Neptune overtake rational thought and reality with imagination and escapism. A lunar square to this dreamy planet dissolves remnants of reason with the intoxicating effects of romance, fantasy and/or alcohol and drugs. A vacation from reality can be delicious if long-term decisions are not based on a few hours of ecstasy.
The tone switches radically on Sunday with a lunar entry into airy Gemini serving up plenty of distractions. Yet in the midst of these breezy moments flirty Venus aligns in a harsh square with controlling Pluto, whipping up winds of secrecy or jealousy. Honestly addressing the darker issues of desire, power and trust is one of the healthiest ways to make the most of this cosmic energy.
