Saturn lends its energies to the last day of the week. Because Saturn is the planet of karma, this day is an excellent time for spellwork involving reincarnation, karmic lessons, the Mysteries, wisdom, and long-term projects. It is also a good time to being efforts that deal with the elderly, death, or the eradication of pests and disease.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 3

Strange forces are definitely on the prowl. A Moon-Venus trine — from Aquarius to Gemini — would seem to give you the green light to pursue romantic overtures (12:25AM PDT). However, this alignment also starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 6:59AM PDT. It is wise to finish old business during any void-of-course, lunar uncertainty zone rather than plunging ahead with new, bold plans. Meanwhile, some of your problem-solving abilities are reinforced during the void time-span since the Sun trines multi-faceted, mentally-brilliant Pallas (2:36AM PDT). Nevertheless, a possible omen of future frustrations arrives on the scene when the Moon is parallel to Saturn (5:21AM PDT) and Mars (5:38AM PDT). Don’t push your personal agenda or conduct arm-twisting maneuvers relative to friends and dear ones. Once the Moon enters Pisces (6:59AM PDT), let empathy and understanding replace any proclivity toward self-centeredness. Spiritual studies receive the cosmic thumbs-up sign as the Moon joins forces with visionary Neptune (11:05AM PDT). Projecting anger on significant others or allowing fear to rule your life are taboo when Mars parallels Saturn (11:29AM PDT). This kind of aspect is equivalent to a union in the zodiac. Be the picture of human kindness in all of your relationships. A few hours later, hard work and determination are your dynamic duo leading to practical results as the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree link with Saturn (5:04PM PDT). You can still be on the hot seat of uncertainty and confusion tonight due to an off-kilter, 150-degree liaison from Mercury to Neptune (9:07PM PDT). Fortunately, healing forces are back on the march as the Moon unites with Chiron in Pisces (10:17PM PDT).

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 31

It may actually feel good to put in extra effort today, especially when we experience the satisfaction of a job well done. The industrious Capricorn Moon forms dynamic squares with impulsive Mars and compulsive Saturn, motivating us to overcome any obstacles in our path. We may rush into starting a project without a lot of forethought; fortunately, we can avoid distractions and sustain a steady work pace with a stabilizing Venus-Saturn trine.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You feel as if you have been riding a rollercoaster recently with all your emotional ups and downs. However, now you’re more even-keeled as you get a handle on the relationship between what you desire and what you’re willing to give up in order to get it. If you went overboard on your search for independence, it’s time to be supportive of someone you love to heal the rift you possibly created.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be a very formidable opponent today, even if you’re trying to steer clear of any sort of conflict. Your patience and determination can wear down someone who stands in your way. Your strength comes from your ability to avoid arguments, even if there’s a noticeable difference of opinion. Don’t push too hard; gentle persuasion works in your favor better than anything else.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be protective of your feelings now, but your quiet acceptance of others can help to create peace and harmony. Enjoy the current calm, but remember that it may just be the temporary eye in the center of a storm. Don’t worry about justifying your unconventional goals to anyone today; you are well equipped to tell your story as long as you’re not in a hurry. Slow and steady wins the race.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Someone could be secretly pulling strings behind the scenes in order to get his or her way. However, you’re not willing to give up your power until you try to bend reality in your direction. It’s challenging to deal with the situation if you don’t know the whole truth. But instead of trying to uncover anyone’s hidden agenda, just concentrate on your own positive action. Save the detective work for some other day.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know what’s possible today and what’s not. You have a realistic outlook on life now, indicating that this may be a good time to make a decision about a major purchase or a job change. But don’t limit your options by playing it safe. A calculated risk could be your smartest strategy, especially if you’re willing to act methodically, rather than impulsively.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clarity returns today, allowing you to have confidence about an important decision you must make. However, it’s a mistake to believe that your current choice is your final one because logical Mercury is retrograde in your 12th House of Destiny. You have a general understanding of where you are heading, but there are still specifics to be determined. Give yourself some breathing room so you can respond to the facts as you learn them.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You probably know more than you’re saying today and no one can get you to spill the beans. Perhaps a friend told you something in confidence, or maybe you just haven’t yet put your ideas into words. Either way, your allies quickly appreciate your high level of integrity now because they understand that you will share what is necessary when the time is right.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You realize that a special relationship is more complicated than it appears, but you’re afraid to disturb what seems to be working so well. Luckily, you’re blessed with sensible friends who will tell you their honest opinions today. Thankfully, the advice they give you now is sound. The current window of opportunity won’t last, so don’t procrastinate. If you want another perspective, ask before it’s too late.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your friends may grow weary of your tap dancing today because it’s obvious that you don’t want to be pinned down. They would prefer that you say what’s on your mind without beating around the bush or talking in vague generalities. Don’t let your natural resistance to making a commitment turn your allies into enemies. Focus on creating stability, not upsetting it. Honor your friendships by appreciating your loved ones in the present moment.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your ruling planet Saturn basks in the warmth of delicious Venus today, encouraging you to be extra considerate of those you love. Others are attracted to your current easygoing style, but that doesn’t mean you’re carefree enough to ignore your responsibilities. Although you’re motivated to pursue pleasure now, meet your obligations first and then head out to play with your friends.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be quite serious about relationships today, but you still want to be seen as a person who knows how to have a good time. However, it isn’t easy to enjoy yourself fully now unless you are engaged in creative projects that involve working with others. Achieving satisfaction is more likely if you don’t set your goals too high. Unfortunately, you could become so lazy that you don’t do much at all. Find a way to balance the two extremes since your current happiness depends on it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may have to struggle to get a meaningful relationship back on track, especially if you’re currently in the doghouse. Thankfully, you can make up for lost time or bad behavior by paying extra attention to what others need today. But don’t assume that you can earn bonus points by doing all the right things; you’re off to a bad start if you’re keeping score. The best way to re-establish trust now is to combine kindness with honesty while staying present in each and every interaction.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 20

We attract more attention than we really want today since the lively Leo Moon encourages us to be bold and place our feelings out in the open. Although we know how important it is to make time for relaxation and enjoyment, an anxious alignment between optimistic Jupiter and realistic Saturn reminds us we must fulfill our responsibilities before taking off for the weekend. Relying on sound logic is more valuable now than pursuing our desires.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re probably feeling more positive about what you are doing with your life now, but you may be afraid of moving too fast and missing something important. You are enthused because it seems as if you just woke up from a deep sleep. However, rather than acting impulsively, it’s best to proceed slowly and deliberately. If you work yourself into a frenzy of activity today, you might have to retreat so that you don’t go over the edge.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Two facets of your personality clash today without a clear winner. Unfortunately, the more you try to hold on to your original plan, the harder it will be to resolve the current tension. Nevertheless, it’s challenging to decide how far to go in reviewing and revising your agenda. You could end up wasting precious resources by making the wrong choice. Although uncertainty doesn’t feel good, the best solutions will come on their own accord if you simply remain open to change.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can easily run circles around everyone else now because you are at the top of your game. Others may find you irresistible today but it’s crucial not to overplay your hand. If you appear too confident, you might attract the very same attention you were attempting to avoid. Your plans could backfire if you try too hard, so relax and let the day unfold at its own pace.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Opening your heart to a trustworthy companion today could make you a bit uncomfortable. As sensitive as you are, try not to get too caught up in the response you receive to your emotional disclosure. What anyone else thinks now isn’t as important as what you are feeling. Ultimately, you are better off once you share what’s on your mind, even if your trust isn’t immediately reciprocated. The awkward moment is temporary, but your relationship will improve for the long-term if you’re willing to take the risk.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon is back in your sign, encouraging you to let everyone know exactly what you want. However, expressing your needs could create problems if you seem too demanding. Concentrating on your desires prevents you from being fully present in a relationship, and you may not even notice if another person is already offering you love and support. Paradoxically, removing yourself from the spotlight is a more reliable path to satisfaction now, so focus on others rather than yourself.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

What someone doesn’t say now can grab your attention, as if the unspoken words have additional power because they are kept secret. Your fear of the unknown might create a simple misunderstanding, especially if you assume the worst. But don’t try to fast talk your way around an awkward situation. Instead of lingering on your uncertainty, just say what’s on your mind and then move on.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone comes through for you today, offering an enjoyable escape or a more meaningful chance to share what’s on your mind. If there’s nothing already on your social calendar, pick up the phone, call a few friends and see what kind of fun is possible. This can be a very satisfying day, but it may not amount to much unless you are willing to take responsibility to make something special happen.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might try to present yourself in a more official manner now that the demonstrative Leo Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Status. However, you could inadvertently forget about your position and share more of yourself today than you intend. Acting professionally is a smart idea since your job needs to come first at this time. Even though you shouldn’t leave your emotions completely out of the picture, you are not under any obligation to reveal your secrets to anyone else.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re encouraged by what’s happening now, but there is still missing information out there for you to uncover. Thankfully, you can enjoy your little hunt for critical data, but not if you’re just trying to amass personal power. Going into denial about the evidence is not a good idea, either; it’s just that the facts may not be as clear as you like. If you catch yourself drifting off into fantasyland, consciously bring yourself back to what’s real before you wander off too far.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might have to work harder than usual now because you believe that you must make a significant commitment to your career — especially if you are to reach your goals. However, your current fear of failure may just be a symptom of a deeper issue. Harsh self-judgment could stem from your uneasiness with your own ambitions. Be more accepting of what you have already accomplished instead of needlessly worrying about what’s next.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Tension in a partnership bubbles to the surface today, even if you didn’t see it coming. It’s quite likely that things are going well, yet there still may be difficult interactions as you express your ambiguity about your role in the relationship. Striving for clarity helps sweep away your clouds of uncertainty. Getting the conversational ball rolling will enable both parties to express their positions clearly so you can work toward establishing common ground.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might need to spend extra time in service to others now without receiving the recognition you deserve. This lack of acknowledgment could bring up old issues of low self-esteem. You don’t necessarily want to be in the spotlight, but you still may have resentment if someone else receives the applause. If this is an ongoing problem, it’s time to let those involved know. As long as your intentions are for the good of all, speak from your heart.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 20

Finally, we can all wave goodbye to Mars for at least a 48-hour time-period. Its replacement is a combination of highly favorable aspects – at least in the early hours as the Moon in Leo unites with Mercury (12:35AM PDT), the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Venus (8:52AM PDT), Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:06AM PDT) while Mercury also trines Pallas (2:31PM PDT). With Mercury the key agent in three of these four alignments, communication channels are wide open and ready for business. Your problem-solving abilities and strategic mind-set are greatly enhanced. The Moon and Venus reinforcing each other’s strengths is terrific for building solid love bonds, augmenting your bank account, and adding exclamation points to your social agenda. However, just when it seems that everything is coming up roses, Jupiter decides to make a caustic, 135-degree link to fellow giant planet Saturn (7:01PM PDT). Anytime these two largest planets in our solar system act like spoiled brats, human affairs tend to go awry. In particular, you want to be extra careful on the business, educational and professional fronts. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. In addition, the Moon in lively Leo starts a void cycle at 10:19PM PDT – with this uncertainty time-span lasting until 10:25AM PDT tomorrow. Keep a low profile overnight while unsettled conditions rule the roost.

New Moon Report for July 18 – New Moon Cancer

New Moon Report for July 18

By Jeff Jawer

New Moon Cancer

Wednesday, July 18, 9:24 pm PDT, Thursday, July 19, 12:24 am EDT

The New Moon in sentimental Cancer is a return to our roots in search of nourishment and a sense of continuity. Family and personal history play an important role in reconnecting us with the past, but the purpose of this lunation is not to linger on memory lane. Instead, the purpose is to draw sustenance and meaning from personal history to fuel plans and projects in the here and now. Feelings can be raw in this sensitive water sign yet a formidable square to this Sun-Moon conjunction from pragmatic Saturn in Libra signals the need to balance emotions with clear thinking. Compromises may be necessary to earn the support of others and taking time to explain needs and aspirations helps to inspire emerging ambitions. Staying cool, though, might not be easy with assertive Mars opposite explosive Uranus and square potent Pluto now. Acting rashly and with resentment are negatives, but discovering new forms of expression and freedom from old habits and fears can be a plus.

The New Moon in Cancer is paradoxical because it initiates a cycle in a cardinal sign, yet the Crab is reluctant to make any bold moves. Therefore this is a time for cautious starts when carefully measured steps are meant to reduce risks while prudently pushing forward to create new sources of security

Current Moon Phase for July 17th – Waning Crescent

Waning Crescent

(8% illumination)

The Moon is current in the zodiac sign of Cancer

This is a time to rest, reevaluate and reflect, pulling back into yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is not a time to initiate anything new. It’s a phase suited to spending time with friends and getting in touch with the “big picture.” A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. At this point, what are your dreams and aspirations? What larger goals can you aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life? This is a time for resting and gaining inner strength to prepare for a new cycle.

Daily Horoscopes for July 15

Complexity and subtlety are blended into a conundrum today. The whimsical Gemini Moon reflects our need to keep everything light and easy. However, an early morning Sun-Saturn square heightens resistance, asking us to slow down or even stop making any more progress. Obstacles appear in front of us, although we may put them there ourselves. It’s difficult to strike a perfect balance between our serious feelings and more lighthearted ones.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You always have choices as you approach an unexpected roadblock in your path. You can run directly into the trouble and try to power your way through it. When this headstrong tactic works, you are a sight to behold! But today an impulsive attack could be foolhardy and frustrating. Stop and try to understand what you can learn from the situation. When you recognize the deeper lesson, everything will quickly fall into place.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Whatever feelings rise to the surface now are doing so for a good reason; however, the logic may not be immediately apparent to you. Remain open to changes even if you feel like you’re not getting what you want. The situation might still be unstable and you’re wise to wait before making any significant decisions. Instead of focusing on a temporary setback today, remember that what you say has the magical power to transform everything in the blink of an eye.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is retrograde now, turning your thoughts inward. Although responsibilities may seem somewhat oppressive, almost anything is possible if you put your mind to it. The feelings that are holding you back also contain the seeds for your forward movement. It’s not time to accept defeat, even if you’re feeling less than confident. Today’s discussions can set the stage for tomorrow’s transformations.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may think that someone is being overly judgmental of your activities as critical Saturn rains on your parade. However, today’s Sun-Saturn square gives you an opportunity to gain clarity about an important life lesson. Try to remain optimistic about your options because a challenge or a delay doesn’t mean you should give up. Instead, strengthen your position by reviewing your plans and making necessary adjustments.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are being tested today, and how you respond will have important consequences in the days ahead. Imagine that the complex situations that you encounter are speed bumps on the road of life. If you are moving ahead too fast, they might cause serious damage. But trouble can be averted if you see the obstacles far enough in advance. Take your cues from the feedback that reality is offering you and plan your course accordingly.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you feel like throwing caution to the wind today, a friend will have enough sense to remind you about your priorities. Even if some things are not going exactly the way you want, you can make choices that will keep you on your chosen path. Flexibility is more important now than sustainability. If you conjure up the image in your mind, then it has the chance to become real. Believing is the first step to seeing.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Nearly everything in your life seems to be moving along quite well. Nevertheless, you are still facing conflict about what you want to do versus what others want you to do. Or, perhaps, someone close to you is causing you stress because they are acting recklessly instead of fulfilling their responsibilities. Whatever problems you are facing now, remember that your ability to roll with the situation will help see you through it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your mind continues to be very probing and, fortunately, your thinking process is grounded. However, your basic material needs and sensual desires may be the source of a dilemma. Your gut instinct encourages you to develop your vision of an ideal future. First, you must make some adjustments as your values transform along with the current circumstances. But it’s not the right time to change everything all at once. Fine-tuning your daily routine, though, is certainly in order.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Love is in the air today but it doesn’t come without complications. Although you may not be able to avoid serious matters in a relationship, you’re tempted to step around a potential problem to get to the good stuff. Unfortunately, taking a shortcut now won’t save any time and could also destabilize a romance. Instead of pushing your luck, adopting a slower approach increases your chances to find mutual satisfaction.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You would be wise to examine your weaknesses as the willful Sun squares your key planet Saturn today. However, judging yourself too harshly could do more harm than good, especially if others are criticizing your efforts, too. Nevertheless, dwelling on your shortcomings is a waste of time. Think of yourself as a work in progress and get busy.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Ironically, the sooner you accept the current limitations, the easier it will be to break free from the restraints. The lesson now is to work within your boundaries, rather than trying to work around them. There are times to push the edges of the envelope, and there are times to exercise self-control to keep things as they are. Thankfully, the problems you face today will seem less complicated tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You Fish like to swim in the open waters where there are no boundaries. But now you are being presented with a restrictive situation that prevents you from reaching your destination. Instead of worrying too much about getting lost along the way, consider your current responsibilities. Once you have your priorities in order it will be easier to work within the defined limits of the game.

Your Magickal Correspondence for Saturday, July 14th

Your Magickal Correspondence for Saturday, July 14

Saturday Is Ruled By Saturn

Archangel: Cassiel

Candle color: Purple or brown

Incenses: Patchouli or mimosa

Crystals: Jet or banded agate

Use Saturdays for spells to do with property, security and long-term financial matters, for closing doors on the past, for psychic protection and for locating lost objects (as well as animals and people).

Where possible, work in woodland, near rocks and stones or on animal or bird reserves.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 11th

Although there’s still a lot of electricity in the air today, we are subdued by the Moon’s morning opposition to restrictive Saturn. The past couple of days have been very intense with the Moon in excitable Aries, and we begin to slow down in anticipation of her shift into steady Taurus at 7:30 pm EDT. Even if we’re having trouble resisting temptation, a more sensible approach to life enables us to experience pleasure without overdoing it.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Complex issues continue to weigh on your psyche today, even as the real world pressures appear to ease. Although you’re trying to re-establish balance between your needs and the demands of working with others, you might overstate the importance of a personal preference. Since your strong opinions could instigate an unnecessary meltdown, consider backing down from your supposedly non-negotiable position. Compromise is more stabilizing than conflict.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if your intent is to come clean, it may be more difficult to put your feelings out in the open with the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets. It’s best to avoid being drawn into an intense disagreement that’s fueled by fear of the unknown. Shining your light of awareness into the shadows of consciousness is difficult at first, but grows easier when the Moon enters your dependable sign later this evening.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might experience a wide range of feelings that don’t have an acceptable outlet in your current social setting. However, these unexpressed emotions still have a strong influence on what’s occurring in your outer world. It may be difficult to overcome the resistance that you face, but the blockages are easier to handle once you realize that you are the real obstacle to open communication and not anyone else. Overcome your fears with clear intentions and unrelenting persistence.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as hesitant today about expressing your private feelings and you might not be able to stop yourself from saying what’s on your mind. This isn’t about you suddenly demanding what you want; it’s about honoring your inner voice. Don’t keep your thoughts locked up even if you’re not sure about the consequences of disclosure. Say what you must; just remember to be kind in your approach so others will be more receptive to your words.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Try not to overcompensate for any emotional insecurity by acting more intensely than you actually feel today. Disguising your vulnerability with an inflated demonstration of passion can trick others into believing that you have more self-confidence than you really do. Find someone you trust and openly discuss your dilemma, knowing that the ensuing conversation could help you figure out your next move.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your feelings isn’t a viable option now since everyone seems to be able to read you like an open book. But even when you take the time to explain yourself in great detail, you still aren’t sure that anyone else really understands what you need. Carefully examine your motives so you don’t mislead someone in a way that could be problematic. Once you are clear about your intentions, it will be easier to communicate them to others.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t need to let anyone push you around, for you have more power than you realize. On the other hand, nothing is gained by obsessing about something that you cannot have now. It may be challenging to manage the intensity of your reactions today. Continue to practice moderating your extreme emotions and seek middle ground wherever possible.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sexy Venus flirts with the fine line between delicious and overindulgent today as she stressfully aligns with the Moon. You aren’t in the mood to play games now, unless you believe they will lead somewhere productive. Nevertheless, you still want to do what’s right, even if you already know what you want. Be careful; make sure that everyone is on the same page before reaching a point of no return.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Logic isn’t necessarily a part of your equation today as you attempt to satisfy your desires. You may be openly communicating with a romantic partner, yet your words can also act as a smoke screen that hides feelings you don’t want to discuss. Avoid coercive tactics since they add power to what’s not being said. Bringing your emotions out into the open can minimize unnecessary confusion later on.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Even your closest friends have a hard time understanding how deeply your feelings run today. Although you don’t often express your needs using emotionally-charged language, your heart can be just as vulnerable as anyone else’s. Something special may be in the emotional slow cooker, but it’s too soon to declare it done. Don’t hurry the process; good things come to those who wait.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desires could be overridden today by everyone else’s demands. Ultimately, you might decide that it’s a smarter idea to conform instead of rigidly sticking to your own plans. It may be inconvenient to stand up to others right now even if you know what you want; the time and effort required isn’t worth it. But your needs grow in strength if you try to simply ignore them. Avoid the possibility of losing your temper by letting others know your preference without being attached to the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Dancing simultaneously in multiple realities can be exciting for you today, but it also produces extra stress. You are tempted to choose one set of emotions to live by, while burying the other. However, you’re being called to do powerful inner work while still keeping up external appearances. Keeping one foot on the ground in each realm helps you face your feelings, even if you cannot fully integrate them into your current life yet.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 11th

The universe finally pipes down after three days of martial fireworks, Neptunian mischief-making, and quarter moon tensions. Major solar and planetary aspects disappear completely while the Moon in Aries makes its monthly polarity to Saturn in Libra (2:24AM PDT) – beginning a 14+ hour void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 4:32PM PDT. Trying to make things happen your way during this void-of-course Moon time-span is foolish. Slow your tempo across the board. Patience is a cardinal virtue. Completing odds and ends makes sense with the Moon out of sorts. Once the lunar orb enters earthy Taurus (4:32PM PDT), handle financial issues with flair and logic. Arts, crafts and hobbies are highlighted this evening as the Moon parallels Mercury (9:25PM PDT) followed by a supportive, 60-degree link from the Moon to visionary Neptune (10:10PM PDT). The Moon-Neptune alliance also favors experimenting with a favorite musical instrument, camera, poetry style or dance routine. Start gearing up for stations and shifts retrograde by Uranus (Friday July 13) and Mercury (Saturday July 14). Forewarned is forearmed – so goes an ancient saying connected to astrology.

We may be more concerned with the larger issues of humanity today than with our own unique dilemmas. The emotionally detached Aquarius Moon encourages us to think about general concepts rather than individual concerns. However, looking at everything from a more global perspective can be problematic since the security-conscious Cancer Sun still pulls us back to more personal issues that involve our homes, families, and close relationships.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your life may be more complicated than it appears now, yet you don’t want anyone to see how much you are keeping to yourself. It’s easier to be socially engaged if you downplay your unorthodox interests. Restraining your impulsive behavior is wise because your need for independence clashes with your current desire to build lasting relationships. Remember, there’s no reason to share all your thoughts and fantasies with anyone else unless that’s what you really want to do.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have an uncanny sense about the right thing to do in a relationship today. Unfortunately, choosing the responsible path over a more playful one may not be a lot of fun, but you can still feel good about acting in a self-disciplined manner. Being practical is not flashy, but it enables you to prepare for the future, which ultimately can bring you an enduring satisfaction.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Even the strongest dose of common sense may not be sufficient to keep you on task today because you are so easily distracted by the light of your own brilliance. However, shiny objects aren’t as enticing as great ideas now, so it’s hard to be motivated simply by the temptation of more money. Thankfully, a unique approach to your current job might enable you to make a long-awaited breakthrough. Keep refocusing on your goals if you want to achieve success.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult to express your feelings today. If you find yourself in a deep discussion with a powerful person, your fear of rejection might tempt you to withdraw to protect your security. But even if you face the resistance, your words might not flow easily now because your emotions are still in flux. Be patient, it becomes more natural to speak your mind once your changing moods begin to settle down. Take time to listen to your heart.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your expectations are very high today, increasing the chances of being let down by a close friend or family member. But others appear to be out of touch with their feelings. If someone very close to you seems to have lost her way, lending a sympathetic ear is better now than trying to make a heroic rescue. Concentrate on reaching your goals and setting an example for others to follow.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Most tasks handed off to you today are potential opportunities for you to develop a new and exciting method that saves everyone time. But it’s crucial to know when to quit or you could spend the entire day seeking the next great breakthrough, even if the tried and true way would have worked just fine. Sometimes the same old approach is the most reliable thing you can do. Demonstrate your keen intelligence by choosing which path makes the most sense now for the job at hand.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The sensitive Cancer Sun is halfway through its month-long journey through your 10th House of Career, possibly bringing you well-deserved recognition at work. But taskmaster Saturn is also in the equation today, requiring you to give your assignments all you can. Expect amazing results, for even if you don’t quite meet your goals, your chances for success are greatly enhanced by your confident attitude and your extra effort.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re able to shine your light brightly today because you can see great potential wherever you look. However, blind optimism is not a wise strategy; it only inflates and then dashes your expectations. Nevertheless, your willingness to assume the best outcome could open one door after another to opportunities that you would have just walked by at another time in your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re not particularly interested in undertaking a major project by yourself these days. Fortunately, your world is full of amazing people, each with something special to offer. You might expect it to be easy to find someone willing to work with you, but everyone seems to be too busy now. However, don’t give up searching for a business or personal partner. Accepting less than you want may seem wise in the moment, but it’s even better to wait for the right person.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your ruling planet Saturn is softened by a harmonious trine from the nurturing Moon today. Normally, rational Saturn and the emotional Moon send conflicting messages, but your steady work now seems to garner beneficial results. Find the balance between knowing exactly what you want and realizing that you cannot fulfill every desire. Prioritize the potential pleasures in front of you, carefully choose your best shot at happiness and then take it.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be so confident today that you think you can do everything. Unfortunately, spreading yourself too thin makes it impossible to finish even the simplest chores. Don’t be so blinded by your own illuminating ideas that you lose sight of the practical realities that still govern your life. It’s more important now to be responsible than it is to act like a genius.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could be undecided about a significant personal issue because you can see it from both sides now. Your enthusiasm tempts you to say yes and jump wholeheartedly into the new project, but your heightened common sense is screaming no. Forcing a decision today only leads you to change your mind farther down the road, so take your time before making a final choice.
