Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, June 1

Aries

During what is Saturn’s third retrograde period in your relationship sector in as many years, the Moon’s monthly alignment has given you an intuitive edge into the past and to what’s pushing old buttons and why. But as they align today it’s for the last time while Saturn is in your relationship sector for another 30 years, with a need to pay attention to anything that this stirs, especially anything that lingers too long.

Taurus

The Moon returns to your relationship sector today, coming full circle from the super Moon almost 4 weeks ago. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and what didn’t make sense then has had time to settle and for you to process. Each time the Moon visits your relationship sector you’re one step closer to some major developments in just a few months time, with a need to pay attention to anything that pushes your buttons or evokes a strong response.

Gemini

Just 4 days before Neptune is due to turn retrograde in your career sector the Moon comes full circle from the super Moon in your work sector just under 4 weeks ago. It’s the things stirred back then and that have been gestating since then, that your hunches and instincts are likely to pick up on today. With Neptune slowing down your professional dreams are a lot clearer and more defined, with a need to trust your hunches when it comes to all work matters.

Cancer

Saturn is spending his third retrograde phase in your home and family sector in as many years and during his many months in retrograde motion each time, the Moon’s alignment each month has given you your bearings. Today the Moon and Saturn align here for the last time while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years, giving you a chance to get inside any old buttons that are still being pushed and to really learn from the past.

Leo

Whether on the personal or professional fronts, communication is vital and is the grease that will make the wheels turn freely. Here you’re able to learn from the past but appreciate that, that was then and this is now. You have the intellectual savvy and the articulation to make up for lost time and to forge new trails, knowing anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

Virgo

Hold onto the nose for money the Moon leaves you with when he leaves your income sector, as you not only move into Saturn’s final weeks in retrograde motion here, but some of the most stunning professional weeks of the year. Chances are you’re sensing that something has shifted on the professional front and that something even bigger is on the way. Hold onto that and a nose for money, putting them on the same page.

Libra

The Moon returns to your income sector today, coming full circle from the super Moon almost 4 weeks ago, that put so much pressure on both the Sun and Jupiter in your financial sector. The Sun has since moved on and with Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion due to leave your financial sector in just 11 days time, this will provide the right wake up calls and reminders, at the right time.

Scorpio

When the Moon returned to your sign 4 weeks ago it set the scene for a super Moon, the largest and most powerful Full Moon of 2012, not only because of its size but because it challenged both the Sun and Jupiter. This brought you to the halfway point in your current solar year and brought a lot of personal and relationship issues to a head. As the Moon returns the hype is gone and there’s a chance to make sense of what didn’t make sense before.

Sagittarius

Life is only going to get busier and even more diverse, so when you feel a need to step back and take time out to smell the coffee, then pay attention. If you don’t come up for air from time to time or get off life’s treadmill, you never get a chance to process things or to check that you’re on track. While it’s a good idea to schedule times in when you can take time out, it’s where it happens of its own volition that you need to pay attention.

Capricorn

Just when your professional life is threatening to overwhelm everything, the Moon brings a reminder today that synchronicity is alive and well. It’s by listening to and following your hunches that you’re likely to find yourself in the right place at the right time and also to make sense of what might not have made sense before. Trust that if you need to meet someone or you need a valuable piece of information, that they’ll find you.

Aquarius

Hold onto a sense of adventure, the quest for knowledge and a sense of curiosity inspired over the last few days, as you move into some more professionally focused days. Better still take this with you, getting excited about your professional options as the Moon returns to your career sector, coming full circle from the super Full Moon in your career sector less than 4 weeks ago. With life about to become a lot more work focused, keep your mind and your options open.

Pisces

As the Moon moves on from your financial sector he leaves you with your financial instincts sharpened, a freshly redefined sense of resolve and a much clearer sense of how to make Saturn’s final weeks in retrograde motion count. This is Saturn’s third retrograde phase in your financial sector in as many years but it’s also his last for another 30 years, with a chance now to finally resolve the past, ready to move on.

Current Moon Phase for June 1 – Gibbous Moon

Moon Phases: Gibbous Moon

(waxing 135-180 degrees)

by Jan Spiller

Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon Phase is suited to synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for May 31st

Aries

Just 6 days before a rare Venus eclipse in your communication sector is set to create some spectacular communication conditions, especially when it comes to giving your heart a voice, the Moon is making a timely visit to your relationship sector. If this pushes your buttons or evokes a strong response then this is what you want, for you’re finding it easier by the day to break through old communication barriers.

Taurus

Having the Moon in your work sector is giving you an intuitive read on where things stand on the work front, on the dynamics in play and of anything you need to be alert to. This is the Moon’s last visit to your work sector before Saturn turns direct here later next month and before things really start to move on the work front. This makes this a day for listening to your hunches and for keeping your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Gemini

Just as your Venus return is drawing close to another milestone and with the planet of love already in retrograde motion, opening the door to second chances, the Moon makes a timely visit to your romantic sector. This is the Moon’s last visit to your romantic sector before Saturn turns direct here later next month and Venus turns direct in your sign, just a few days later. As well as providing an emotional link to your heart, today’s lunar vibes provide an emotional link to the past.

Cancer

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your home and family sector, while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years, didn’t also push some buttons. As the Moon moves into opposition with Uranus in your career sector, this is likely to bring any work/life balance issues to a head, but in a way that is less about warning of conflicts ahead and more about understanding what is already behind you.

Leo

With Jupiter leaving your career sector in just 12 days time and Pluto, the only planet left after that to keep the professional momentum going, already in retrograde motion in your work sector, the all or nothing professional focus of the past is already easing right back. Yet you don’t want to lose the edge or the momentum you’ve worked so hard to gain, with a need to not only work smarter but to put a self sustaining professional game plan in motion.

Virgo

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your income sector while Saturn was in retrograde motion for another 30 years didn’t push some buttons. But considering the financial tensions and pressures of the past, this is simply a monthly wake up call, but it’s because it’s the last while Saturn is in retrograde motion that this will deliver any final messages from the past. This comes as professional developments clear the way for making up for lost time on the income front.

Libra

Since returning to your sign in October 2009 Saturn has spent several months in retrograde motion each year, in retrograde motion now for the third time in as many years, but also for the last time. It’s the Moon’s last visit to your sign before Saturn turns direct and their final days together while the doors to the past are open for another 30 years; that gives you a chance to really look the past in the eye and take ownership.

Scorpio

Don’t be surprised if the wind is taken out of your sails today, with an inexplicable urge to put out the ‘do not disturb’ sign or to have an unplanned ‘duvet’ day. Give yourself permission to choose what pace you approach the day with and if you don’t feel like doing anything at all, then give yourself permission to slack off. You’ve had some busy months and the wisest thing is to listen to your body, giving yourself time to hear yourself think.

Sagittarius

You’ve reached what is an important day for networking and connecting, either with old friends or in situations where you’re able to learn from the past or make up for lost time. There is a sense of synchronicity in the air that needs to be tapped into, making it less about what is planned and more about what happens spontaneously. Don’t try and over manage or control things, but choose to remain open, plugged in and available.

Capricorn

Having the Moon in your career sector will always sharpen your professional instincts and provide some valuable hunches and clues and his position here is no exception. Yet as the Moon makes his last visit to your career sector while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years and just as things are taking off on the work front, this gives you an intuitive edge into a fast changing and developing professional situation. Keep your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Aquarius

As the Moon makes his last visit to your sector of travel, adventure, learning and discovery before Saturn turns direct later next month and for the last time while he’s in retrograde motion for another 30 years, you’ll find that your excuses are being challenged. Look at where you’ve missed out on life in the past and the excuses that you hid behind. Even though they may have been genuine in the past they can be revisited, knowing that times change and that so too do you.

Pisces

As the Moon returns to your financial sector, for the last time while Saturn is in retrograde motion here for another 30 years, you have a chance to finally get to the bottom of old financial issues or more appropriately to your reactions to old issues. While this may create some short term financial pressure, as the Moon moves into opposition with Uranus in your income sector, this is more likely to evoke a new sense of resolve.

Your Career Horoscopes for the Week of May 29th

Aries

Things become more serious for Mars this week, for while he’s been in your work sector since last November, his longest visit in 47 years, it’s time to bring things home. While Mars won’t leave your work sector until early July, the Moon’s visit from Monday to Wednesday comes just as he’s ready to move into his last full month and just as you’ve cleared any roadblocks. After many ups and downs and false starts it’s time to put the pedal to the metal and go for it. For a planet that usually spends just 6 weeks in your work sector at a time, the 6 ½ months he’s already put in has given you the experience and the savvy to bring things home. As the Moon sharpens your instincts this will help you to pick your battles wisely, ensuring that your time and energy is going into the right places.

Taurus

Since Saturn returned to your work sector in October 2009 the Moon’s monthly visits have helped you to keep track, giving you an intuitive read on the ever changing conditions. Saturn’s current retrograde phase in your work sector is the third in as many years and when the Moon returns to your work sector on Wednesday and aligns with Saturn on Friday, it will be for the sixth time this year and the fifth time while Saturn is in retrograde motion. This should be a run of the mill encounter then, but it is anything but, for it’s the last time that the Moon and Saturn will align in your work sector, while the door to the past is still open for another 30 years. Keeping your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground is a must, especially when it comes to what hindsight is telling you.

Gemini

Things are finally slowing down on the professional front, not because you’re running out of steam. You’re nearing a point where you’re able to work with what is already on the table, before new doors start opening on the work front in August. Considering that when they do open that they’ll remain open until mid 2015, taking things slowly while you can is a real necessity. Things are slowing down because Neptune and Chiron, the only two planets active in either of your professional houses, are coming to a standstill and are in their final days in direct motion. Neptune will turn retrograde next Tuesday and Chiron a week later, with a need to avoid rushing or pushing things. The Moon’s return to your work sector over the weekend will give you a chance to pick up on some valuable clues.

Cancer

As you move into the new week you’re just 7 days away from a lunar eclipse in your work sector, an eclipse that because the Moon will only return on the same day is likely to catch you by surprise. However that shouldn’t be the case if you’re paying attention, for while eclipses are wild cards and bring things to a head or to a turning or tipping point, if you’re paying attention the clues are there before hand. This makes it important to have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, but also to avoid over thinking, for it’s more about being aware of what is actually happening and where things actually stand than looking back or projecting forward. This means paying attention and finding a balance between not sweating the small stuff and keeping your head out of the sand.

Leo

After first the Sun and then Mercury left your career sector last week Jupiter is back to being on his own, as it has been for the majority of the time since the planet of luck returned last June. Yet what has been a 12 month mission to bring your professional game up to speed, to point your professional goals and ambitions in the right direction and to invest all that you can into your professional game is now coming to an end. Jupiter will leave your career sector in 2 weeks from Tuesday, after which point there’ll be no more planetary activity in your career sector until April 2013. With all your cards now on the table and the confidence of knowing that you have the right amount of stamina and stickability on the work front, it’s now more about positioning yourself for future success.

Virgo

Each week conditions deepen on the career front, with last week’s solar eclipse in your career sector, along with the Sun and Mercury’s return topped this week by the consolidation taking place. However, you’re still on your way up with events next week literally eclipsing events until now and the week after that going a step further. This is still early days in a professional comeback that within the next few weeks will reveal just how many options you have. In the meantime you begin the week with the Sun and Mercury aligned in your career sector and over the weekend Mercury and Venus will align. With Venus in retrograde motion and the Sun and Mercury in direct motion, this is the start of a coming together of forces, giving you a clearer sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Libra

Things are slowing down on the professional front, to a point where you could even take time off or simply glide, which could be just what you need. Yet if there is any fear that this is the start of a slump, rest assured it’s not and this is in fact one of the only real weeks you’ll get for some time when you can actually catch your breath. Neptune and Chiron, the only planets currently active in either of your professional houses, are slowing down, with Neptune turning retrograde in your work sector next Tuesday and Chiron a week later. Even if you wanted to, this is not the time to push things. With Mercury returning to your career sector next week and opening the door to the most active 3 career months of the year, taking the time this week to catch your breath is a must.

Scorpio

Any week that begins with the Moon in your career sector has to be a good one, ensuring that you’re off to the best possible start, with your professional instincts sharp and engaged and with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground. While the Moon will leave on Monday after spending the weekend in your career sector, you’ve had a chance to get your bearings and away from the coalface to listen to what your instincts, hunches and imagination have been telling you. By this time next month you’ll have the first planetary activity in your career sector for the year, so this gives you a chance to start lining up at doors before they’ve even opened or before they’re even there. Move into the week trusting and following your hunches and keep it that way.

Sagittarius

On both the work and career fronts there is a real call to action this week and a sense that it’s time to bring things home. After the Sun and Mercury both left your work sector last week, leaving you with the objectivity and intellectual savvy to play your A game, this left Jupiter on his own and due to leave in 2 weeks from Tuesday, it really is time to bring things home, putting things on the track that you want them to continue on. It’s the Moon’s return to your career sector on Monday and position here until Wednesday that will sharpen your professional instincts and evoke both your emotional responses and your fighting spirit. This comes just as Mars is getting ready to move into his last full month in your career sector. It’s time to pull out all the stops.

Capricorn

Conditions on the work and career fronts couldn’t be more different, with Saturn on his own and in retrograde motion in your career sector, while on the work front the door is open to both new opportunities and second chances. Yet it’s the unity between these two areas of your chart that creates a complimentary set of circumstances, creating a new level of professional confidence as you wake up to how many options you have. The Moon’s return to your career sector on Wednesday will sharpen your professional instincts, with his alignment with Saturn on Friday giving you a chance to delve deep into the past. This is the Moon’s last alignment with Saturn while he’s in retrograde motion for another 30 years, so the sense of hindsight you’re able to tap into will be too important to ignore.

Aquarius

You have had no planetary activity in either of your professional houses all year and other than a Full Moon in your career sector on the 6th May, nothing but the Moon’s monthly visits to your work and career sectors to keep things on track. That’s about to change and this is one of the last weeks for a while that you’ll have a chance to take your professional hat off and keep it off. For with Mercury returning to your work sector next week, kicking off the 3 most active months of the year on the work front and an active 3 years on the career front kicking in during that time, things are about to get busy. The Moon’s return to your career sector over the weekend, coming full circle from the Full Moon on the 6th May, will give you one last chance to get your bearings before new doors open.

Pisces

At the start of the week your focus needs to be on all things work, job and employment related, for you’re moving into the week with the Moon in your work sector. While the Moon will leave on Monday, having spent the weekend here this allows you to move into the new week with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground and a wealth of insights, hunches and clues to draw on. While new doors won’t start opening on the work front until the 26th June, holding onto those clues and hunches is essential. By the weekend your attention needs to start shifting to your professional game as a whole, ahead of a lunar eclipse in your career sector next Monday that could catch you unprepared. While you can’t second guess a lunar eclipse, you can at least start paying attention.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, May 22nd

Every so often, the universe requests a siesta and pulls in the reins – allowing humanity and events on Earth to proceed without a lot of outside interference. This is one of those infrequent, 24-hour time-periods. The Moon continues its transit through Gemini – placing an emphasis on reading, writing and exploring favorite hobbies. A key event is the monthly Moon-Venus union (2:25PM PDT) – the first lunar conjunction with Venus since this planet’s reversal on May 15. Feminine issues are on center stage right now. Make sure your primary partnerships are improving rather than stagnating. Review your recent progress in the fine and graphic arts. It should be business as usual on the professional front – thanks to a flowing trine in air signs of the Moon and Saturn (3:52PM PDT). However, this harmonious tie between the Moon and Saturn also begins a long void twilight zone that lasts until 4:32AM PDT tomorrow. The main rule-of-thumb during any void-of-course lunar cycle is to finish old projects on a high note, but not launch bold ventures. Take this message to heart as Mercury forms a contra-parallel to Pluto (6:50PM PDT). Psychic storm warnings are posted – particularly on the relationship horizon where casual conversations could turn into vociferous debates or outright arguments. Be prepared for added controversy and unsettled conditions in affairs of the heart tomorrow as Mercury will oppose Juno just a few hours before one of two annual Sun-Neptune squares.

Daily Chinese Zodiac Horoscopes for Friday, May 18th

Rabbit

You may be making sudden and impulsive changes to your finances. Be careful before you invest in real estate or home improvements though, because Saturn is working overtime in your “home and family” sector. That brings unexpected breakdowns, governmental restrictions, zoning hassles and strange encounters with cranky neighbors.

Dragon

Your attitude towards a specific relationship or partnerships in general will be changing today as a result of an intuition, dream or impression. Listen to your feelings carefully. You may be thinking of making a relationship more formal.

Snake

If you want to make the chores go more smoothly today turn on the radio or CD player, grab a mop and bucket and dance your home clean. You can have a good time getting ordinary daily chores cleared up if you put yourself in the right mindset.

Horse

You have a high degree of physical energy today, which could prove delightful to your significant other in more ways than one. You are energetic and active, and interested in trying new things. You have something of an impulsive streak in you right now.

Sheep

Friends, companions, and siblings will bring great joy. Someone you know could be adding to their family. Someone else may be given an award for their creative skills and talents. Celebrate in moderation, because someone near you is on the sobriety trail.

Monkey

You are going to be on the telephone a lot today. Your loved ones and relatives may have shocking news, but the changes that are coming you and your family will welcome with great excitement. You will be passionate, creative and highly verbal today.

Rooster

You can make more money if you are willing to take a stand on your own merits right now. If you are already successful, this means using your name or likeness to promote yourself. If not, it means being willing to believe that you deserve to succeed for who you are.

Dog

You are feeling extremely talkative and chatty today, and it is a good thing you have a friend or companion who feels the same, otherwise the two of you would talk some poor soul’s ears off. There is good news traveling on the gossip lines right now.

Pig

Expect positive experiences with your religious or spiritual growth. You have witnessed a profound healing and are eager to experience this for yourself. Keep an open mind and heart, but don’t expect the same results as others have, you have your own path to walk.

Rat

A friendship is developing in new and important ways. You may share a moment of insight, or take time together to explore shared spiritual interests. Meditating or praying together could bring you closer and open up new ways for you to understand one another.

Ox

You’ll be thinking about the future. Which road do you want to take, and do you hope to enjoy the journey? You won’t get anywhere sitting on your behind, that’s for sure. If you want to make a dream come true, this is the time for action, not dreaming.

Tiger

Your ninth house of education, travel, and publicity is heating up again, and this time there are equal measures of joy and frustration. Expect Divine chaos. You may have to make a detour that takes you past a big sale. Or your flight is rebooked, and you get a better seat.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 17th

It feels like a brand new world with the Moon in pioneering Aries today, yet her opposition to restrictive Saturn can hold us back until we have a better idea of where we’re going. And although we are building momentum now that energetic Mars is speeding up, we may nostalgically look back at what we had with Venus a couple days into her retrograde cycle. Nevertheless, we are still heading toward big changes that grow more inevitable every day.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are being offered a new deal when the Moon visits your excitable sign, emphasizing the extraordinary potential that unexpected opportunities bring. You can’t rely on old assumptions anymore since the rules are changing as you play the game. Don’t be cocky and think that everything you imagine will unfold according to your plans. You have something important to learn from the obstacles you now face in spite of your good intentions.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re at another turning point in your life, but everything could seem more important now than it actually is. It still may take several months to gain clarity about your long-term goals, yet your current choices are instrumental in setting a new direction. Don’t be overly concerned if you can’t synthesize your desires into one single goal. Just allow your daydreams to flow without analysis; you will have plenty of time to make sense of it all later on.

 
Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You wish you could bounce around from one amazing distraction to another today, but you are afraid that others might perceive you as being flighty and unreliable. Unfortunately, your restlessness only increases if you attempt to restrain yourself by finishing every single thing you start. Luckily, you will have time to complete projects soon enough; just enjoy your high spirits now, even if you’re secretly worried that you’re just wasting your time and energy.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might feel as if someone is pushing you to go faster than you prefer. Fortunately, you are enthusiastic about the prospects of where your work is leading, even if the potential instability also brings up old issues about your fear of change. Don’t let old memories get in the way of current opportunities. Thankfully, you won’t need to sacrifice too much security in order to keep up with how fast your life is unfolding.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Someone with authority may be granting you the freedom of choice now. You are being offered a fresh start, but you still have to take the initiative in order to follow your dreams.

Even if you don’t have all the details figured out, you can put the pieces together along the way.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be increasingly aware that something is missing from your life. It’s tricky to describe what you’re feeling now, but you realize that it’s time to let go of your old assumptions about what you can do. You might feel as if you’re being swept up by a big wave. However, if you say no and try to resist, you could end up regretting that you missed an opportunity of a lifetime.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Too much drama isn’t your idea of a good time, but someone could rock your world today by bringing surprising news, a significant opportunity or an innovative idea. However, it’s not wise to jump too quickly. Instead, exercising cautious optimism is a better strategy since anything that enters your life now looks better than it really is. Nevertheless, if you don’t turn your life inside out, you could take an important step on a major journey.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Making small improvements to your lifestyle by introducing new habits into your daily routine can have lasting positive impact. Fortunately, it’s easier than you expect to move past an old emotional pattern that prevents you from taking the next step on your path. However, there’s no latitude for halfway measures today. You know exactly what you must do now, so don’t delay any longer.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although waves of nostalgia tempt you to hold on to the past, you have a narrow window of opportunity now to launch yourself into the future. Luckily, you aren’t one to turn down an invitation for a great adventure, so go ahead and set your sights on a far-off galaxy, strap on your seat belt and prepare for blast-off. Just don’t let your confidence grow into arrogance because you’re still likely to encounter a little turbulence along the way.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You need to reinvent your life now by remembering your personal history and retelling your story from a fresh perspective. Creating a new framework for the past enables you to envision radically different possibilities for the future. Nevertheless, your desire to break free from your present circumstances might stress you out because of the lack of security. Don’t worry if you need additional time to get everything in order before you make your move. It’s helpful to look back; just remember to also look ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You can’t avoid the realization that your life is changing and the speed of events in your personal world seems to be accelerating. Even if you aren’t keeping up with everything, there’s no need for worry because the new routine looks like a lot of fun. However, if you experience self-doubt, remember that he who hesitates is lost. Ultimately, you can figure out a way to make it all work.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may express a sigh of relief today as the pressure for change temporarily eases. Just keep in mind that your current growth phase isn’t finished; you simply have a chance now to move a project along at your own speed by taking a good idea and developing it further. You might be tempted to immediately jump right in, but impulsive actions won’t create the lasting results you seek. It’s more important to build momentum strategically than to rush ahead without knowing where you are going.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 16th

There’s no rest for the weary! Ten important celestial seasonings are about to be sprinkled on all of our lives. Here’s the complete list as the Sun forms a contra-parallel with Pluto (1:35AM PDT), the Moon in Aries unites with Uranus (5:12AM PDT), Mars trines Pluto (9:27AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Jupiter (1:42PM PDT), Vesta makes a similar, 30-degree link to Uranus (2:29PM PDT), Jupiter forms an off-kilter, 150-degree connection to Saturn (3:43PM PDT), the Moon parallels Mars (7:39PM PDT), Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Pallas (8:28PM PDT), Ceres contacts Neptune via an inspirational, 72-degree link (10:04PM PDT), and Mars opposes Chiron (11:57PM PDT). To some extent, the aspects are almost divided between favorable and challenging. However, Jupiter at loggerheads with Saturn must top the list and this liaison is clearly discordant – particularly on the business and professional fronts. Therefore, attempting to throw your weight around in these areas of life is foolish and illogical. Even though the Moon with Uranus speaks of potential innovation and Ceres in touch with Neptune equates with a possible rising tide of productivity, the two largest planets (Jupiter and Saturn) suggesting the need for a major readjustment is top dog right now. Of course, you can attempt to tweak each difficult alignment – when they occur – and see if you gain some kind of mileage around those time-periods. Nevertheless, the overall mood in the psychic atmosphere is a lot of stress and strain are happening, and if you can play the role of Good Samaritan or cheerleader to shut-ins and the disadvantaged, by all means do so.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 15

We are determined to reach our goals, but may be frustrated because satisfaction seems just out of our grasp as beautiful Venus begins her 6-week retrograde phase. We try to be practical today, yet we are drawn back into our fantasies with the Moon in dreamy Pisces. The Moon’s shift into feisty Aries at 5:45 pm EDT increases our restlessness, but patience is rewarded now that Venus’ harmonious trine to Saturn delays gratification.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Managing your money requires more of your time now that you are attempting to solidify your financial position. You must focus your attention if you have put off your fiscal responsibilities. It’s challenging to deal with the real issues because you are so easily distracted these days. Nevertheless, you can quickly eliminate some unnecessary expenses simply by cutting back on a few social activities. Graciously declining an invitation today gives you more time to get your affairs in order.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Close friends and co-workers may perceive you as being more stable than you currently feel. It’s not that you’re hiding anything from them now; it’s just that you can use your charm to cover up your insecurities. Thankfully, you have a chance to build your self-esteem over the next few weeks, especially if you can be vulnerable with someone you trust. Expressing your uncertainty opens the door to a deeper conversation and a more intimate connection.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Everything seems to be moving too fast, yet you are being given an opportunity to slow down now that sweet Venus turns retrograde in your restless sign. Unfortunately, you might feel that personal relationships are overly complicated, yet you don’t want to lose what you already have gained. Thankfully, if you bring your concerns out into the open in a kind and gentle manner, you can establish an important foundation for whatever comes next.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re so close to achieving your goal, but now you may feel like you’re falling short as Venus turns retrograde just before reaching your sign. Whether you like it or not, it’s as if your personal fulfillment has been put on hold. Nevertheless, the weeks ahead can still bring happiness. Just remember that immediate gratification is only temporary, but working toward a meaningful long-term goal sustains your feelings of well-being.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your career objectives continue to be in the spotlight, and you really want your friends and co-workers to appreciate your efforts. Unfortunately, they don’t seem interested in going out of their way now just to make you feel good. Don’t actively seek recognition; pursuing fame only delays the recognition you want. Just stick to the tasks at hand and do the best job you can. The right people will acknowledge your contribution, even if it takes longer than you want.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have a very realistic attitude about your long-term goals now, but you see two extremely different paths that could lead to the same ultimate destination. Your friends and associates may give you conflicting advice; nevertheless, you still need to make a decision. Instead of listening to everyone else’s opinions, make a list of all the pros and cons for each option. Your judgment will steer you in the right direction today as long as you trust the facts rather than your emotions.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are particularly sensitive to your key planet Venus as she begins her retrograde cycle today, pulling you backwards in time. Frustrations could get in the way of your creative energy if you try to take a shortcut. But you can be wonderfully productive over the next couple of months if you’re willing to work methodically. Your challenge now is to harness your ambition and turn it into a practical plan that you can put into action.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your insatiable need to understand the deeper significance of things is sufficient to slow you down these days. You are dismayed that others are more driven to have a good time than they are to learn something new. Thankfully, you’re able to lean on a few very special friends from your past for the kind of support that you need. Ultimately, your ability to speak your truth inspires your friends to engage in the intense kind of interaction you seek.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Slow and steady actually has a better chance at winning the race today. But this isn’t just a clever phrase from an old children’s story. You must think like the tortoise now, and take one careful step after the next. If you race ahead like the hare, you’ll only run into difficulties later on. Planning for the distant future is pointless now unless you take care of things in the present moment.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Pragmatic Earth energy abounds today, requiring you to analyze what you know again and again, before altering your direction. Everything at work seems to be moving along rather slowly, increasing your anxiety and triggering fantasies of running away. Although you could benefit from having more time to complete your job than you planned on, the delays can be rather frustrating. Nevertheless, don’t put off working on a project; it’s easier to accomplish something now than you might think at first.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be required to untangle a melodramatic soap opera in which you appear to play a leading role as romantic Venus does her retrograde dance in your 5th House of Love. Even if your life is relatively quiet now, you still could experience several weeks of relationship stress. Thankfully, differences can be resolved with repeated attempts to understand one another through honest dialogue. Compromise is the key to relationship success.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Domestic stress puts you through your paces during the weeks ahead, as Venus backtracks through your 4th House of Home and Family. It feels as if there are serious issues that need your immediate concern and intervention. Just don’t waste your precious energy trying to fix everything all at once. You can’t. Simply acknowledging that it will take time to work everything out can alleviate the pressure and help you cope on a daily basis.

SPELL TO CHANGE FATE

(the wishing candle spell)
Be forewarned, changing may make some parts of your life stronger, yet other parts weaker.

wishing candle over it. Wait to do the spell until the full moon, and then make sure you do it
at night and where the stars are in full view.
Procedure:
On the new moon, look unto the sky for the 7 brightest stars. Hold up a lighter and say/chant:
“I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish this night.
For change of ______ this night I ask, and by the flame, I ask it last.
Seven brightest stars in the sky, light the flame I hold high.”
With this light your lighter, light the wishing candle, and light the little candles in it’s flame.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, May 11

Ready, set, go! Inspirations can be flying fast and furiously as Mercury makes a contra-parallel with Neptune (5:04AM PDT) followed by an inspirational, 72-degree connection from the radiant Sun to healer-shaman Chiron (7:15AM PDT). Learn more about esoteric philosophy, meditation, ancient ruins, pyramid power, UFOs and ETs under this double-whammy of far-out stellar associations. Check your subconscious to see if Technicolor dreams have been stored from last night or the recent past. Strange forces may be on the prowl later on since Saturn forms a frictional, 135-degree link to Chiron (1:59PM PDT). Both of these celestial bodies are linked to the concepts of right timing – materially (Saturn) and spiritually (Chiron). If twilight zone or deja vu type experiences seem stronger than usual, don’t be surprised. Meanwhile, Aquarius Moon generates interest in group projects, team sports and community events. Revelations can strike concerning your business and investment plans as Mercury unites with Vesta in finance-oriented Taurus (7:38PM PDT). Start gearing up for a potent weekend that highlights the annual union of the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – happening this year in Taurus on Sunday. The power of positive thinking, a contagious self-confidence and winning smile can take you far during the next 48-hour cosmic thrill-ride.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, May 4

Because we are still in the glowing aura of tomorrow night’s impending Full Moon, all of today is considered a preparatory time-period in which you can gear up for the enlightening vibrations due to arrive on Saturday evening. Think more about your higher destiny of service to humanity and the kingdoms of nature rather than fulfilling your own personal needs. Pointing in this idealistic direction are an early-morning Moon-Neptune parallel (2:00AM PDT), the Moon trine Venus in air signs (6:17AM PDT) as well as a healing-boost coming from Jupiter making an inspirational, 72-degree link to Chiron (7:30AM PDT). Thus, the first part of this day is superb for opening the gates of higher knowledge and wisdom across the board. As the Moon makes its monthly union with Saturn in Libra (11:03AM PDT) – focusing renewed attention on rising to the top of the totem pole in your professional life – this lunar conjunction with taskmaster Saturn also begins a fairly lengthy void twilight zone that lasts until 7:21PM PDT. During this 8+ hour uncertainty time-span come to grips with recent changes on the relationship front and remain receptive to hearing what your intuition knows is true since the Sun is also in league with Neptune via an inspirational, 72-degree rapport (4:43PM PDT). Nonetheless, it is wise and sensible to finish odds and ends during any void lunar cycle. Once the Moon dives into the intense rapids of Scorpio (7:21PM PDT), see whether your Agatha Christie or Perry Mason disguise still fits you. Being a top-notch, amateur detective and investigator fills the bill when the lunar orb transits the usually secretive and mysterious eighth sign of the zodiac. Keep a notebook by your bed overnight to record nocturnal soul-wanderings and visions of the great beyond as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs (11:56PM PDT).

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, April 8th

Just when it seemed that some of the tense sky patterns are losing their potency, along comes another whopper – in this case, it is the Sun making an abrasive, 135-degree link to the red planet Mars (1:08AM PDT). This kind of connection often equates with a rising tide of emotional turbulence or volatility. Since the Moon is also in Scorpio, rocking the love boat is not recommended. Do your best to calm dear ones who are under pressure or on the skids. Your words and acts can be a soothing balm rather than an inflammatory expression. Another reason for an increase in psychic storminess is that Pluto – ruler of the underworld, extreme fears, phobias and repressed feelings – is about to shift from direct to retrograde on Tuesday April 10. Many people can tune into planetary stations ahead of schedule and that is why a warning of this kind can be a life-saver. Meanwhile, avoid conflicts with loved ones, friends and associates later on as the Moon parallels Pluto (5:01PM PDT) and the Sun makes an uneasy contra-parallel with Saturn (8:56PM PDT). Hope for improvement on the communication front as the Moon approaches a flowing trine with Mercury (11:57PM PDT). However, this usually auspicious Moon-Mercury link-up also begins a void lunar cycle that lasts until 8:13AM PDT tomorrow morning when the Moon enters fiery, upbeat Sagittarius.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, April 6th

Full Moon days don’t always require a slow-down, but with the Moon parallel Saturn (12:10AM PDT) and the Sun making a frictional, 45-degree link with dreamy and potentially obfuscating Neptune (8:46AM PDT), it is wise to heed some of the cosmic cautionary signals this morning. Once the exact time of the Full Moon (energizing 18 degrees of Aries and Libra) arrives – 12:20PM PDT – illuminating vibrations are at their peak. Individual and group meditations are advised. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity, and the kingdoms of nature. Think more about helping others and fulfilling your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth than on making things happen your way. In esoteric circles, this Full Moon is considered the first of three in a row that emphasize the will, love and intelligence of divinity – however we understand that sense of infinite and eternal wisdom, grace and peace. Stop worrying about trivial pursuits and the actions of dear ones that you cannot control. The continuing transit of the Moon in Libra places a distinct focus on improving the quality of your primary partnerships. Enjoy a night on the town or take a significant other to a movie, play or musical concert. Let the good times roll!

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 28th

After two days more akin to happily-ever-after fairy tales than psychologically scary stories, the dark side of the universe begins to reveal itself again as Venus makes a tense, 135-degree link to underworld-ruling Pluto (1:52PM PDT) while one of two annual Sun-Pluto squares is waiting in the wings to pounce on humanity on Thursday. Today’s Venus-Pluto clash is a warning shot that romance, social affairs and the arts may be temporarily vulnerable to bickering and disagreements that could turn would-be harmony into bitter feelings. Thirty minutes earlier an inspirational, 72-degree link from Saturn to Pluto (1:22PM PDT) may have the gravitas to keep dear ones, friends and colleagues in a happy frame of mind. This Saturn-Pluto interaction is also a boon if you want to investigate esoteric philosophy in an in-depth manner. Feel free to change course this evening and enjoy lighthearted discussions with pals under airy Gemini Moon. Immerse yourself in a sci-fi classic, contemporary novel or biography. Try your hand at writing rhymed poetry, limericks or haiku.
