Your Daily Horoscopes for November 3rd

Today’s ingenious Aquarius Moon can make us so clever that we end up fooling ourselves. Flirty Venus and mischievous Mercury are a charming planetary pair in fiery Sagittarius and their exciting trines to electric Uranus galvanize our senses and attract us toward unconventional expressions of love. The Moon’s midday trine to cautious Saturn temporarily stabilizes things, but her evening opposition to Mars might stir up an unnecessary conflict.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be lured close to the edge of an emotional cliff today, yet you’re probably ready to jump even if you recognize the potential danger. Fortunately, you have a bit of magic working in your favor now and gravity might not send you crashing toward the ground. Take a risk by sharing your thoughts or feelings with someone you trust. You could be pleasantly surprised by where the conversation leads.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Typically, you take a practical approach to love, but today your mind is enticing you to explore some unconventional possibilities that are very exciting. Luckily, you’re in an experimental mood and are eager to connect with someone in a completely different way. But don’t venture too far too fast unless you’re sure that you really want to go there.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can fall in love with a weird idea or an unusual person today, even if you find yourself somewhere you’ve never been before. You don’t get to recycle your same old fantasies now; familiar territory just won’t hold your attention. Enjoy playing on a new social playground, but pay attention or you might find it difficult to find your way home later on.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you have high hopes about accomplishing a lot at work today, save the self-judgment for another day if you don’t reach your goals. Rather than setting yourself up for disappointment, consider declaring the day a personal holiday, instead. Anything you can do to stir up excitement is a good idea. Remember, you can always fulfill your responsibilities tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It begins to dawn on you today that your newfound freedom isn’t just some passing phase; it’s your life. Although you might have twinges of nostalgia, your future looks brighter than your past. An unconventional person may be encouraging you to take a risk by embarking on an adventure. But even if there’s travel in your future, the real journey comes from opening your heart to the idea of something new and different.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions may conflict with your logic now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Details. But attempts at resolving the tension won’t bring you happiness, for you’re being pulled in two directions today. Trust your instincts and take a chance on following your gut reaction. You can always reconsider your priorities in a couple of days when your cool-headed analysis kicks back in.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to believe what others tell you, but you might realize that someone is stretching the truth today. Ironically, this doesn’t bother you much as long as you like what you’re being told. Anyway, you might try to hide your feelings now because you’re attracted to something unusual. Nevertheless, Venus harmonizes with quirky Uranus, so taking the extra step and sharing your fantasy can be fun. Nearly anything is possible if you aren’t overly attached to the outcome.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel very confident about your finances today, even if reality doesn’t fully support your conclusions. Nevertheless, you’re able to break out of the mold you placed yourself in by imagining your life very different than it is now. Although you might want to be in a new situation right away, it’s going to take time. Instead of feeling frustrated, give yourself permission to envision everything just as you want it. Remember, the next phase of your journey is just beginning.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Ironically, when your fantasies grow more real, they can also become less tempting. Your current desires may lead you down a totally unfamiliar path, and the closer you get to the end, the more uncertain you are about your choice. There is a delicate line between your unbridled imagination and what’s actually possible now. Fortunately, if you’re willing to take a risk, you can make an impossible dream come true.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are known for your down-to-earth practicality, and normally you can manage the details of your life as needed. But now you’re more likely to dream about having fun than taking care of the business at hand. Although you’re not sure about just abandoning all your responsibilities, you should be able to get away with letting some things slide today as long as you commit to catching up with your work later on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This can be a perfect day to fall in love, whether or not you’re on the lookout for romance. Venus and Mercury harmonize with your key planet, Uranus, charging your system with natural charisma and irrepressible desire. There’s no need to worry about stability now; it’s the possible thrill that grabs your attention. However, just because you are attracted to an unusual situation, it’s still not wise to act on every impulse. Consider the consequences before doing anything you might later regret.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you could quietly slip into another dimension, every color would be perfectly matched while your favorite music was playing. Fortunately, there’s no need to travel to a parallel universe today, for everything desirable seems as if it’s right around the next corner, even if you never get there. Instead of trying to make all your dreams come true, pick one and strive to make it real.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, Octoger 29

uddenly, it is as though the universe has experienced a meltdown or concussion and lost its bearings. Instead of attacking humanity with cosmic guns blazing, it is receding to the sidelines – undoubtedly to refuel and eventually get cracking with more intensity during the first week of November. Right now you have a Saturday where Venus forms a robust parallel to Pluto (8:16AM PDT) – a rather intense alignment on most days. However, this morning it appears to be a boost for antique hunters and collectible aficionados as well as artists of any stripe. Of course, if you fall into the trap of being egocentric and selfish – for whatever reason – this Venus-Pluto encounter can turn against you. While many of yesterday’s potent alignments remain active in the psychic atmosphere, you can also take advantage of the fun-loving, humorous and cheerful essence contained within Sagittarius Moon. Here’s another evening to kick up your feels and enjoy your favorite form of entertainment. If you want to continue working on beloved hobbies or construction projects, positive lunar aspects to Saturn (8:19PM PDT) and Mars (11:04PM PDT) will keep you busy.

Wishing All My Dear Friends, A FANTASTIC Saturday!

Saturday, the day of Saturn, is potent for spells concerned with unfinished business, with endings that lead to beginnings. It is a good day for all slow-moving matters and for accepting limitations, as well as for overcoming obstacles that are long-standing or need careful handling. It can also be used for lifting depression or doubts, meditation, long-term psychic protection locating lost objects (as well as animals and people) and regaining self-control over bad habits or emotions. Saturn can be used to slow down the outward flow of money and or encourage those who owe you favors or money to repay. He will help banish pain and illness and bring acceptance of what cannot be changed. He represents the constraints of fate, time and space, but can also challenge into opportunity if you are prepared to work hard and persevere.

Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, October 26th

If you read yesterday’s calendar entry carefully, you know that the dark-of-the-moon time-period of the month is in effect this morning and until the New Moon occurs at 12:57PM PDT. The key is to finish old business in the first part of the day as Mars forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Saturn (2:39AM PDT), Mercury parallels Pluto (4:15AM PDT), the Moon in Libra is void from 5:19AM PDT until 8:09AM PDT (when the Moon enters Scorpio), Venus parallels Ceres (6:21AM PDT), the Moon unites with Juno (9:02AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Saturn (10:35AM PDT), and Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Pluto (12:29PM PDT). Here are seven fairly important alignments – most uplifting, empowering and productivity-enhancing – but they are all encouraging you to complete enterprises that you already have been working on for weeks or months. Once the New Moon occurs (activating 4 degrees of Scorpio at 12:57PM PDT), the usual rule of thumb is to leap ahead with bold plans across the board and especially associated with in-depth research and investigative work. Causing a potential challenge just a few hours later is a sharp Venus-Mars square in fixed, power signs (3:24PM PDT). Love vibrations take a turn for the worse and social affairs may seem more subdued and turbulent than usual. A Sun-Neptune parallel (7:36PM PDT) opens the gates of psychic attunement while Juno trine Chiron in water signs (10:25PM PDT) is a notable boost for emotional empowerment. These two evening sky patterns are magnified as Pallas re-enters the universal air sign of Aquarius (8:34PM PDT) until February 11, 2012.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, October 24th

We are aware of the power of our passions now that the Sun, Mercury and Venus are swimming in the deep waters of Scorpio. But the Moon’s shift into diplomatic Libra at 11:49 am EDT reminds us that compromise can establish common ground in relationships. Nevertheless, acquiescing isn’t easy with constrictive Saturn also in Libra. We try to be objective, but still can lose our cool as the Moon opposes wild Uranus and squares fierce Pluto.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may try to please everyone today, but you could end up alienating others if you don’t consider your needs, too. The social Libra Moon in your 7th House of Relationships tempts you to deny your own desires in favor of taking care of someone else. Unfortunately, codependency won’t help you or your partner reach satisfaction. Avoid the trappings of frustration by expressing what you want as honestly as possible. Friendship and intimacy grow from a foundation of integrity and trust.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to be of service to others now that the Moon is in your 6th House of Work, but making money isn’t necessarily your primary concern. You might be drawn to helping those who are less fortunate than you, or, maybe, you wish to pay back a debt to society to balance old karma. In any case, it’s healthy to know your limits by considering what you’re willing to give up to achieve your altruistic goals. Making commitments is serious business, so think twice before overextending yourself.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re determined to find ways to alter the daily routine of your life, but you’re not interested in upsetting the status quo. You just want to provide room for making improvements. Perhaps you have grown tired of having so many good ideas, only to discover that the big things in your life remain unchanged. Unfold your new goals slowly; the tiniest modifications can have the longest lasting impact.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Family dynamics are highlighted when the Moon returns to your 4th House of Security today. But if parenting is your primary responsibility, then you might just have less free time available for other activities now. But having a good time isn’t your primary motivation; it’s more about being available to those you love, even if it prevents you from doing something you enjoy. Fortunately, the quiet satisfaction derived from nurturing a loved one may be the greatest gift you can receive.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may require some downtime today so you can think about the recent twists and turns in your life. Unfortunately, the road ahead is not very easy to navigate, so it’s a sensible idea to visualize a more direct route to success. Don’t be concerned if there aren’t immediate changes in your circumstances, for it may take some time for the current resistance to fade away.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could run into a speed bump on the road of life today and though it requires you to slow down, there’s no need for a detour. Just take unexpected events in stride and do the best you can. Don’t allow yourself to succumb to discouragement, even if you face a major setback. Consider obstacles as perfect opportunities to keep improving your plan. Strengthening your body and mind now will increase your chances to succeed.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s harder these days to take your responsibilities lightly because the Moon and somber Saturn are both in your sign, setting the tone for the day. Don’t waste precious energy trying to put on a cheerful face for others, just because that’s what they expect from you. It isn’t your job to make everyone feel okay about the issues you face. Nevertheless, it’s up to you to look inward and ask yourself tough questions so you can gain clarity about the next phase of your life.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not want to talk about your emotions with the Moon and Saturn hiding out in your 12th House of Secrecy. But your need to be alone doesn’t include your very best friends or lover, since you long for the deep emotional connections that can break through your current isolation. Remember that interpersonal walls are created by mutual consent, so open your heart to invite in those with whom you want to share your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You only have so much free time available today, but you still want to escape for a bit, anyhow. Meanwhile, your workmates and friends keep reminding you of how many tasks you still have to complete. There are only so many hours in the day, so you may not be able to take time off to play now. Nevertheless, remaining focused on what’s most crucial will be rewarded later on. There’s no need to explain your choices; just follow your instincts and take care of the business at hand.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel a lot of stress now, but this is your perfect chance to prove your competence to your boss. The reflective Moon and karmic Saturn in your 10th House of Career marks the culmination of your recent efforts or the beginning of an exciting new project. In either case, this is no time to relax. Don’t worry if no one seems to be acknowledging your contribution. Recognition is likely to happen soon enough.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Even well thought-out plans could meet up with opposition, but your ideas can still reach fruition if you’re open to making smart changes. Don’t be stubborn; acting as if you’re on top won’t help you reach your goals any faster. Something must change; fortunately, others are willing to meet you halfway if you demonstrate some flexibility. There’s no need to give up if you’re wise enough to modify your strategy.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could face a difficult situation today if you must deal with someone who holds authority over you while remaining unsupportive of your efforts. It may be a difficult climb and although it requires extra determination to reach your destination, the process also makes you stronger. Don’t complain about your obligations; just roll up your sleeves and get busy. If you put forth your best effort the rewards will eventually follow.

Have a Very Magickal Saturday, my friend!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, October 16th

Today’s breezy Gemini Moon stimulates our thoughts as she emphasizes the mental element of Air. Nevertheless, we can still feel the weight of the Sun’s proximity to somber Saturn, especially as the Moon moves to trine Saturn later tonight. But we won’t miss a trick now because clever Mercury forms a cooperative sextile to incisive Pluto, making our perceptions very acute while a persuasive Sun-Pluto quintile strengthens our convictions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are given another chance to learn your lesson today, but you would be wise to get it right this time because you may not be able to avoid the consequences of your current deeds. However, it isn’t just about your behavior; you’re being judged now on the value of your ideas, too. If you are serious about communicating your position, you could earn an opportunity to put your words into action.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are taking your responsibilities quite seriously today, yet you still might be challenged to complete a project that you have already started. You’re easily distracted now by shiny objects or intriguing ideas, yet you’re better off if you stick to your work, even if it feels ordinary and boring. Thankfully, your concentrated effort should bring the positive acknowledgment you seek if your actions are aligned with your intentions.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could easily waste time spinning your wheels today without getting very much accomplished. However, you can increase your efficiency by simply reconsidering your schedule and prioritizing your tasks. Taking yourself seriously might be sufficient cause to sit down and actually make a list of what you need to do. Normally, you might lack the patience for this kind of approach, but making plans ahead of time now will be worth the effort.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

No matter how much time you put into organizing your day, it won’t likely unfold according to your plan. Mental Mercury’s sextile with powerful Pluto in your 7th House of Others can bring a domineering person into your life now that isn’t shy about running the show. Although you might choose to set your needs aside for a while, don’t be so quick to say yes to someone else. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and make your own dreams come true first.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be wise today to consider any lingering issues of self-esteem. You Lions are usually seen as proud creatures who on occasion overstep your regular bounds to roar about your confidence, but the tables may be turned now. However, there’s no need to worry about the outcome of a current situation that is still up in the air. Do whatever you can to make things work before letting go of your attachment to what happens.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury aligns with passionate Pluto in your 5th House of Self-Expression today, infusing you with strong feelings that fuel your creative process. Even if you’re feeling optimistic, you could be fighting an uphill battle against serious circumstances. Nevertheless, you can surprise others now, and even yourself, with a more spontaneous approach to life. Don’t try to change everything overnight; give yourself a few days to loosen your grip on the reins of control.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be able to live up to other people’s expectations today, but you’ll need to ignore your own desires in the process. However, your closest friends and family can’t help but wonder if you’re hiding something. Thankfully, you’re still able to lighten up the mood and display a more playful side of your nature. Just don’t get sidetracked by your need to prove yourself to anyone else or you won’t be able to fully enjoy your day.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can literally feel the power of your beliefs today as the Sun and Mercury align with unrelenting Pluto in your 3rd House of Communication, adding intensity to your words. Ironically, exercising self-restraint brings even more strength to your message. Nevertheless, don’t expect too much too fast; everything will continue to improve if you let it do so at its own pace.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re eager to be distracted from your chores by someone else’s agenda today, yet you can’t just walk away from your previous promises. Even though you are usually the one who seeks out adventure, your friends might be the ones with all the good ideas now. Naturally, you want to play with them, but it may be wiser to set boundaries and keep yourself on course to your destination. Believe it or not, achieving your goals sometimes is more important than having fun.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Witty Mercury aligns with transformative Pluto in your sign today, empowering you to say things that can have a positive impact on others. Mercury allows you to engage in a stimulating discussion now, without having to win the debate or even trying to convince anyone that your perspective is valid. Instead of attempting to prove anyone wrong, look for ways to make everyone right. Your open-minded outlook is a great example for others to follow.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re able to cleverly turn a sobering conversation into one of hope and inspiration today. What starts out feeling like a setback with a friend or partner can become powerful grist for your mill. You were looking for something significant to chew on and now it’s here. Don’t give up too easily; it’s going to take plenty of time for your special magic to work.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An easygoing friendship could become more frustrating today if there is disagreement about the fundamental nature of reality. Oddly enough, you can both experience the same events while forming very different perspectives. Instead of trying to establish who is right, just put your assumptions and conclusions out on the table. Establishing common ground is all that’s needed to lighten up the energy for everyone involved.

Saturn: Shadows of a Seasonal Sundial
Image Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, ISS, JPL, ESA, NASA

Explanation: Saturn’s rings form one of the larger sundials known. This sundial, however, determines only the season of Saturn, not the time of day. In 2009, during Saturn’s last equinox, Saturn’s thin rings threw almost no shadows onto Saturn, since the ring plane pointed directly toward the Sun. As Saturn continued in its orbit around the Sun, however, the ring shadows become increasingly wider and cast further south. These shadows are not easily visible from the Earth because from our vantage point near the Sun, the rings always block the shadows. The above image was taken in August by the robotic Cassini spacecraft currently orbiting Saturn. The rings themselves appear as a vertical bar on the image right. The Sun, far to the upper right, shines through the rings and casts captivatingly complex shadows on south Saturn, on the image left. Cassini has been exploring Saturn, its rings, and its moons since 2004, and is expected to continue until at least the maximum elongation of Saturn’s shadows occurs in 2017.

Your 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.

New Moon Update for October 11th – Full Moon in Aries

Full Moon in Aries
Tuesday, October 11, 7:06 pm PDT, 10:06 pm EDT

The independent and spontaneous Aries Full Moon faces off against the Sun and Saturn in partnering and patient Libra. We’re faced with the choice of following our own instincts and acting alone or making compromises to get along with others. Nevertheless, it’s wise to negotiate in good faith instead of operating unilaterally. When each individual’s needs are taken into account, in spite of differences between them, stronger relationships can be built. The presence of serious Saturn suggests that alliances that include personal freedom in a framework of cooperation can produce innovation that lasts.

NASA Image of the Day for October 10th

Electrical Circuit Between Saturn and Enceladus

This artist’s concept shows a glowing patch of ultraviolet light near Saturn’s north pole that occurs at the “footprint” of the magnetic connection between Saturn and its moon Enceladus. The footprint and magnetic field lines are not visible to the naked eye, but were detected by the ultraviolet imaging spectrograph and the fields and particles instruments on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The footprint, newly discovered by Cassini, marks the presence of an electrical circuit that connects Saturn with Enceladus and accelerates electrons and ions along the magnetic field lines. In this image, the footprint is in the white box marked on Saturn, with the magnetic field lines in white and purple.

A larger white square above Enceladus shows a cross-section of the magnetic field line between the moon and the planet. This pattern of energetic protons was detected by Cassini’s magnetospheric imaging instrument (MIMI) on Aug. 11, 2008.

The patch near Saturn’s north pole glows because of the same phenomenon that makes Saturn’s well-known north and south polar auroras glow: energetic electrons diving into the planet’s atmosphere. However, the “footprint” is not connected to the rings of auroras around Saturn’s poles (shown as an orange ring around the north pole in this image).

The Cassini plasma spectrometer complemented the MIMI data, with detection of field-aligned electron beams in the area. A team of scientists analyzed the charged particle data and concluded that the electron beams had sufficient energy flux to generate a detectable level of auroral emission at Saturn. Target locations were provided to Cassini’s ultraviolet imaging spectrograph team. On Aug. 26, 2008, the spectrograph obtained images of an auroral footprint in Saturn’s northern hemisphere.

The newly discovered auroral footprint measured about 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) in the longitude direction and less than 400 kilometers (250 miles) in latitude, covering an area comparable to that of California or Sweden. It was located at about 65 degrees north latitude.

In the brightest image the footprint shone with an ultraviolet light intensity of about 1.6 kilorayleighs, far less than the Saturnian polar auroral rings. This is comparable to the faintest aurora visible at Earth without a telescope in the visible light spectrum. Scientists have not yet found a matching footprint at the southern end of the magnetic field line.

The background star field and false color images of Saturn and Enceladus were obtained by Cassini’s imaging science subsystem.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 7th

The intelligent Aquarius Moon forms easy trines with realistic Saturn, clever Mercury and peaceful Venus, enabling us to think through problems in a practical manner. But the Moon’s late afternoon conjunction with nebulous Neptune and shift into psychic Pisces at 9:13 pm EDT soften the edges of our imaginations and allow our dreams to overflow into awareness. Additionally, our penchant for fantasy is encouraged by a sweet Venus-Neptune trine.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might feel as if you’re at a fork in the road, but a heavy mist is making it nearly impossible to see what’s ahead. Fortunately, you have a network of smart people in your life that are able to give you guidance. But you could place so much trust in others that you forget you are the only one who can decide which way to go. Listen respectfully to everyone’s advice and then make your choice based upon what you know without looking back.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your imagination is very active today as you head into unfamiliar territory. Your fantasies are quite tempting, although your fear of being irrational prevents you from acting too quickly. Remember, it’s not important that you respond right away. Avoid further complications by making sure that you are working with correct assumptions prior to moving ahead.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You would be wise to be cautious today rather than setting your sights on something that looks like fun. You could even head off in a new direction before you consider the results of your actions. Just remember that you may be seeing things as you wish them to be, rather than how they are now. Delay any major decisions until tomorrow after your clarity returns.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Being closer to someone you love sounds like a good idea, but today romantic thoughts are more complicated than usual. Even if you think that you know what you’re doing, everything could feel differently once you act on your desires. You might even change your mind if you are feeling too vulnerable. It’s sensible to move slowly now rather than just rushing ahead, because everything looks good from a distance.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your eagerness to trust a friend or partner could land you in a heap of trouble today. It isn’t that someone will give you bad advice or purposefully try to mislead you. It’s just that reality sounds better than it actually is. Keep in mind that your judgment might be slightly off and that more time is needed to regain a proper perspective.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Staying focused on your current chores may be nearly impossible today as a variety of opportunities drop into your life. However, you don’t have to respond immediately in order to take advantage of the situation. In fact, your patience will be rewarded, so slow down before you decide your next move. Be smart and finish your previous tasks prior to starting anything new.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may think that you can see the big picture clearly today and you have everyone’s best interests in mind. But you could be viewing the future through such a rose-colored lens that you miss something important. Your positive attitude might be more like blind optimism unless you decide to also examine the darker side of your feelings. Don’t be afraid of a little self-doubt because it can reveal a perspective that shows the truth.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sometimes you have to jump in to an experience passionately without holding back in order to feel everything. However, creating boundaries between your inner and outer worlds is vital to your personal development. Taking time for a spiritual retreat can be helpful now. Balancing your social responsibilities with your desire to escape will help you move through the day without stirring up resentment from those closest to you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s challenging to make the time to respond to all your emails and phone calls today. But your inability to fit all your work into one day is not your primary problem. The real dilemma comes from your current belief that you can do anything you imagine. However, your reasoning is based on fantasy now instead of reality. Don’t agree to take on one more project until you realistically reconsider your workload.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have an unreasonable idea about what you can accomplish now. Aspiring to lofty goals is admirable if it motivates you to push yourself harder. But this isn’t such a good idea if your destination is unrealistic. Rather than setting yourself up for failure with your inflated ambitions, try to ground your visions in a more practical manner.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could be overly cavalier in your ability to make everything turn out fine today. However, your confidence can lead to exhaustion, especially if you cannot deliver what you previously promised. Strive for objectivity as you make your plans for the future, since working too hard will surely take the fun out of the days ahead.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Relationship issues are tricky today as confusing Neptune and the empathetic Pisces Moon trine vulnerable Venus in your 8th House of Intimacy. But redemption won’t come from projecting your fears or worries onto others. Instead, rely on your inner strength to remind you that you already know the truth and can proceed with what you must do.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 4th

The recent intensity continues to ease, giving us time to integrate the unexpected experiences, along with the extreme emotions. We are still seeking balance with several planets in harmonizing Libra. Today’s ambitious Capricorn Moon squares rational Mercury and stable Saturn, aiding us in our process of regrouping and making plans for the future. Thankfully, the Moon’s creative quintile to brilliant Uranus offers a radical solution to a problem.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s difficult to balance your aspirations with those of a close friend or partner. Thankfully, your companions may be flexible enough to accommodate your needs now, yet they might grow annoyed if you don’t respond in kind. Rather than expecting everyone else to make adjustments for you, meet others halfway. You may be happily surprised at how easy it is once you give it a try.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have had plenty of stress recently and are feeling relieved now because everything is settling down. But you might not be totally convinced that the old dramas are really over. Nevertheless, consider taking a mini-vacation today, even if it’s only for a few quick hours, as the Moon visits your 9th House of Getaways. Anything you can do to relax helps regenerate your energy for the new cycle that will begin next week.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be challenged to find time to relax today because the dutiful Capricorn Moon keeps reminding you of what you promised to do. Instead of procrastinating, settle in for a bit of hard work. You could find the extra effort more energizing than trying to avoid the inevitable. Getting a few chores out of the way should make room for a little escape later on.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You tend to pull in your energy when the cautious Capricorn Moon enters your 7th House of Partners. Ironically, you may feel as relaxed as ever, yet others seem to be overly nervous now — and their anxiety can rub off on you. Remember, you don’t have to adjust your emotions to match someone else’s just because you care. Establishing firm boundaries will ultimately make everyone involved more comfortable.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It might not be all that easy to motivate yourself because you’re lacking your regular zip today. However, you may get swept up by circumstances and you have the excellent fortune of being able to ride on top of a productive wave of energy, leaving a pile of finished work in your wake. However, don’t try to do too much all at once. It’s better to start slowly and build momentum throughout the day.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends might seem a bit warmer toward you today, but it could be your attitude, rather than theirs, that has changed. A weight is temporarily lifted from your shoulders as the steady Capricorn Moon visits your 5th House of Love and Play. Ironically, you might not feel any differently than usual; however, going the extra mile to have fun will convey an irresistible message to others.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want everyone to be comfortable, but others don’t seem to be as receptive as usual to your gracious gestures today. You may grow frustrated as you try all your tricks, but you still don’t seem to make any progress. Fortunately, you might just succeed if you stop trying so hard. Instead of attempting to appease others now, do what makes you happy. Leading by positive example works better than unrealistically believing that you can fix everything for everyone else.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends could be fussier than usual and their picky behavior might start you questioning how far you’re willing to go. You appreciate others being honest and telling you what they want; unfortunately, they just don’t know when to quit. Remember, you are not a bad friend just because you’re unwilling to meet someone’s unreasonable demands. Luckily, a confrontation can be easily avoided today if you remember to consider the other person’s position while remaining clear about your own boundaries.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sometimes being practical is a drag, and demands on your time today can keep you from your dreams. You might overreact by rambling on about your vision for the future, but you really don’t want to get bogged down in all the details. Hopefully, paying attention to the real world creates exactly the balance that you now need.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You wish that your emotions would make sense now, but they don’t. Fortunately, the Moon’s visit to your sign helps you reconnect with your feelings. Although you’re tempted to fly by the seat of your pants, this is as bad a strategy as getting lost in analysis. Stay away from either extreme today; the best solution will be found closer to the middle of the road.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may try hiding your serious demeanor today because you believe that you can throw others off guard if you appear very casual. Unfortunately, your strategy might not work because the hard-nosed Capricorn Moon reveals the fallacy of your assumptions. You need to be showing others how committed you are now. Don’t give up; nearly any relationship can grow deeper once you’re willing to be your authentic self.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be overly cautious today as you think about your future because the pragmatic Capricorn Moon in your 11th House of Aspirations doesn’t want you to waste a lot of time and money chasing impractical dreams. Normally, realizing a few fantasies would be enough to keep you motivated, but now you have to get extra creative. Remember, it will take time to reach even your most sensible goals.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 3rd

There’ s a significant shift in relationships this weekend when the love planet Venus leaves polite and accommodating Libra and enters intensely passionate Scorpio very late on Saturday night. The emotional atmosphere is bound to thicken as needs and desires are examined more deeply and the commitment level goes up with partners, or we recognize that the well is running dry.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your imagination is flowing this weekend, enriching your social life with creative ideas. But it can also entice you into letting fantasy overcome reality, leading you down a questionable path. It’s fun to play games as long as you know the rules. However, if you’re uncertain or uninterested, it’s better to sit things out and relax at home than to follow an unreliable person into a sketchy situation.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

If you’ve been toiling in the fields of romantic despair recently, that’s likely to start changing late Saturday night. Your ruling planet Venus is shifting from your 6th House of Work to your 7th House of Equality, opening the door to more fulfilling relationships. Even if there are some unfinished bits of emotional business that remain, courageously addressing your concerns will help you move on to better times.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your communicative ruling planet Mercury joins serious Saturn on Thursday, which may force you to face some hard realities. If you’re willing to address the tough issues with honesty and maturity, you may earn respect or, at least, gain clarity. Instead of saying what others want to hear, engaging in straight talk without descending into blame can add strength and stability to your personal life.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon sails through magical Pisces this weekend, inspiring you to dream about faraway places and unfamiliar faces. This lunar transit in your 9th House of Travel attracts you to people and experiences that enlarge your vision of the world. Attending cultural, religious and educational events increases your chances of meeting an interesting new person or adding more meaning to your current relationship.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Tenderness may be the most important quality in your personal life this weekend. The Moon is in watery Pisces and your 8th House of Intimacy, which can make you more emotional or attract sensitive people. Don’t deny your vulnerability or ignore someone else’s, because facing these feelings is the key to deepening an existing connection or getting closer to someone new.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The sweet and sensitive Pisces Moon lights up your 7th House of Partnerships with warm feelings this weekend. A gentle person will respond to your care, compassion and imagination, but an overly cool or critical approach is a guaranteed mood killer. A little forgiveness of yourself and others will go a long way to improving your relationship life. Let go of the minor matters so you can see the bigger picture, instead.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If you’ve been recently letting someone slack off out of the goodness of your heart, you may have a change of tune this weekend. Your loving ruling planet Venus enters scrutinizing Scorpio and your 2nd House of Self-Worth, which can help you re-evaluate what you’re getting from others. If a situation is unfair, don’t clam up just to keep the peace. Gently expressing your dissatisfaction gives you a perfect chance to make things right.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could be in for a delicious weekend with the sweet Pisces Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance and Play. This favorable transit can cast you in the best possible light and allow you to let your worries melt away. Amorous Venus enters your passionate sign late on Saturday night, which is another asset for relationships. You have a healthy connection with your needs now, increasing your chances of fulfilling them.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The emotional atmosphere is cloudy this weekend with the Moon in fantasy-oriented Pisces and your 4th House of Roots. While your mind may drift down memory lane reflecting on old loves, returning to the present and paying attention to the one you’re with now will make you a more appealing partner. However, if you’re feeling uncharacteristically shy or sentimental, taking some personal time for yourself makes perfect sense.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your sharp thinking makes it easy for you to see where improvements can be made, but being critical of others this weekend requires a very delicate touch. The Moon’s in tender Pisces and your 3rd House of Communication, amplifying the impact of your words. Don’t let details get in the way of a pleasant conversation that may not be entirely realistic, but which creates a sense of closeness that’s worth more.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The imaginative Pisces Moon is traveling through your 2nd House of Self-Worth this weekend, making this a wonderful time to invest in yourself. Activities, outfits and objects that add a little touch of whimsy to your life not only make you feel good but could make you more attra

NASA Image of the Day for October 1st

Saturn’s Silhouetted Clouds

This false-color mosaic shows deep-level clouds silhouetted against Saturn’s glowing interior. This mosaic shows the entire planet, including features like Saturn’s ring shadows and the terminator, the boundary between day and night.

The blue-green color (lower right) is sunlight scattered off clouds high in Saturn’s atmosphere and the red color (upper left) is the glow of thermal radiation from Saturn’s warm interior, easily seen on Saturn’s night side (top left), within the shadow of the rings, and with somewhat less contrast on Saturn’s day side (bottom right). The darker areas within Saturn show the strongest thermal radiation. The bright red color indicates areas where Saturn’s atmosphere is relatively clear. The great variety of cloud shapes and sizes reveals a surprisingly active planet below the overlying sun-scattering haze.

The brighter glow of the northern hemisphere versus the southern indicates that the clouds and hazes there are noticeably thinner than those in the south. Scientists speculate that this is a seasonal effect, and if so, it will change as the northern hemisphere enters springtime during the next few years.

The data were obtained in February 2006 at a distance of 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) from directly over the plane of Saturn’s rings, which appear here as a thin, blue line over the equator.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, September 29th

Emotions intensify when the Moon enters secretive Scorpio at 12:04 am EDT. Although we are able to express ourselves with the conviction of our beliefs as talkative Mercury sextiles warrior Mars, we won’t use many words because of a restraining Venus-Saturn conjunction. Additionally, creative Mars forms a magical quintile with Venus and Saturn. The pleasurable attributes of Venus are suppressed by authoritative Saturn, preventing satisfaction.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are ready to fight anyone who is slowing you down now, but you could end up wasting energy and exhausting yourself for no reason. Although you may be feeling isolated from a friend or lover today, your current situation ultimately serves you well if you simply learn your lesson. Admit that you can make mistakes and then proceed with caution the next time around.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Somber Saturn and your key planet Venus may issue you a harsh reality check today. Normally, you get along well with others at work, but now it could seem as if they are on your case as tenderhearted Venus runs up against stern Saturn in your 6th House of Employment. Don’t worry too much about working on your own; thankfully, interactions will begin to feel lighter again tomorrow.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The good times could grind to a screeching halt today if you are expecting too much all at once. However, if you maintain your common sense, it’s time for you to seal the deal. There’s no need to be afraid of acting on your desires today, assuming you are sticking with the facts and are not looking for any kind of free ride.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel the burden of responsibility because you want to provide solid information to someone you love so he or she can make the best decision. You might take yourself rather seriously today and expect everyone else to acknowledge your authority. Unfortunately, no matter how much you want to help others, they still must decide for themselves. Offer whatever advice you can and then give them sufficient space and time to choose according to their own criteria.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Patience comes to you today when you need it most, even if you’re feeling pressure from others. Separating your needs from those around you can help you justify your desire to take things more slowly now. Don’t bother trying to explain why you’re hesitating; just trust your instincts and wait a while. You’ll feel the energy shift in a day or two and should be ready to begin at that time.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You know exactly what you want now and can see how it differs from the needs of others. In fact, you may even find a way today to mediate between the extreme points of view. You think that you understand what’s going on, but you might not be able to turn the present moment into a success story. Nevertheless, don’t try to force any issues, even if it means that you must delay an important decision for a while longer.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are emotionally self-restrained today since the austere Venus-Saturn conjunction is occurring in your sign. You might feel as if your friends aren’t actively supporting you, but it isn’t useful to make things any worse by blaming them for their lack of motivation. Acknowledge others for who they are and not for what they can or cannot do on your behalf.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your sign reflects your high level of emotionality, so it’s challenging to hide your feelings now. Someone you love might promise a lot today, yet you still want to see concrete results. Don’t get lost in such high expectations that you end up being disappointed when they can’t be met. Keep bringing your dreams back down to earth and don’t believe everything you hear. You’ll feel better once you step back and gain perspective.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might prefer staying out of sight today with the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Escapism. However, you’ll probably have a lot more fun if you purposefully place yourself in the flow of things. Nevertheless, you might not feel very social now and it’s your choice if you decide to bow out of a previous commitment at the last minute. There’s no reason for you to justify your feelings as long as you remember to be nice when you say no.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be working harder than you prefer now, but your heart isn’t necessarily in your current job. You would rather be doing something that enables you to progress along your ideal career path, yet you’re willing to set aside your feelings while you earn some discretionary expense money. Don’t let your disappointment show today; waiting for just a few more days will bring you closer to what you want.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Constrictive Saturn aligns with lovely Venus in your 9th House of Journeys today, making it tough to nail down your plans for the future. Whether you want to go back to school or head to a tropical island, you can’t see around the next corner now. A sensible strategy is to work toward being in the present moment while remaining open to the powerful magic of destiny.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s difficult to sink in and feel what’s going on in a current relationship today. And although your interactions with others are productive, operating strictly in an analytical mode can be very limiting. But don’t worry if it seems as though little progress is being made; it may take some time to see measurable results.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 28th

The even-keeled Libra Moon joins sweet Venus and strict Saturn, tempting us with delectable pleasures while insisting that we postpone satisfaction. Meanwhile, the Sun’s conflicting square with shadowy Pluto reveals unexpressed motives that may trigger a power struggle in a relationship. Fear of losing control creates additional worry when cerebral Mercury squares Pluto then joins the Sun to focus our intentions and align them with what we say.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes you forget how forceful you can sound when trying to make your point. You might actually think that you’re the only person who sees the whole truth. Unfortunately, your overconfidence can frustrate your friends and associates today. You’ll get along better with everyone if you just remember that others have the same right as you to their perspectives — even if they conflict with yours.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not be comfortable if you’re put in a position where you have to defend your position today. You might even try to sidestep an important issue by avoiding a direct confrontation. However, conflict becomes more likely if you don’t face the differences head-on. Fortunately, everyone will feel more relieved after everything is out in the open.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your mind has been racing so fast that it’s challenging to grab on to any one thought. Today, however, you are determined to follow through and discuss a creative project with someone you trust. Unfortunately, your conversation may take on a life of its own, leading you away from your original idea. Be smart and write down your thoughts so you can stay on track with your message.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may get angry if you cannot express yourself today, especially if others make you so uncomfortable that you are afraid to say what’s on your mind. You might feel energetically blocked, which negatively impacts your productivity. But don’t shift blame onto someone else if you’re having trouble finishing what you started. Instead, focus your energy on work and concentrate on one task at a time.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re excited about having so many choices today, but a co-worker probably has a very different idea about what you should be doing. Unfortunately, attempting to get others to understand your point of view now might only provoke more resistance. Keep in mind that everything probably seems more critical than it actually is, so consider relinquishing a bit of control for the sake of playing nicely with others.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is up against a formidable adversary today as it squares powerful Pluto. You may have shared an idea or started a project in the past few days, yet now you might feel as if your task is more challenging than you thought. Nevertheless, you feel unstoppable and aren’t in the mood to negotiate. But your uncharacteristic aggression can create more problems than you realize. Take several deep breaths and think your next steps through before you swing into action.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to be fair about a decision you must make today, but your actions also concern others and they probably won’t agree with your choice. Heightened tensions can precipitate an emotional meltdown, especially if someone is trying to coerce you to play favorites. You may prefer to work out your disagreements peacefully, but standing up to a bully can be exactly what’s needed now to settle things once and for all.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The peaceable Libra Sun squares your ruling planet Pluto today, driving your passions to the surface. You would like to express your true feelings, without concern about the consequences, yet the Sun in your 12th House of Secrets reminds you that someone close to you can have a totally different perspective. Relationships are already complex enough these days, so think twice before saying something that only complicates things further.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your friends may not be a source of solace today because they could disagree with you on a fundamental issue, making it difficult for you to feel at ease. You won’t be so quick to let your guard down once you become aware of the gulf between you and others. Instead of falling into the trap of thinking someone must be wrong now, create a larger philosophical framework that can hold many divergent opinions.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be ambivalent about taking charge of a project today because you’re not sure about the best way to reach the objectives. Unfortunately, it might ultimately require more effort to say no than to step up to the plate and just do what’s being asked of you. You stand to better your professional status by demonstrating your competence, so think through your options carefully before selecting your route to success.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your unorthodox approach to life usually allows you to rationalize your most eccentric ideas, but you might feel overly secretive about your current thinking today. Someone may even accuse you of being negative, but that’s just because you haven’t disclosed what’s motivating your decisions. Your intuition is steering you in the right direction; others won’t understand you now even if you try to explain yourself. Letting your unexpressed thoughts ride for a day or two is your best strategy at this time.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want to get to the bottom of something you’ve been unable to understand, but it may not be so easy now to put all the facts into one coherent story. Even if you try to share what you know, your co-workers might not be very receptive since Pluto in your 11th House of Friends squares communicator Mercury in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. If you find yourself participating in an unnecessary conflict, quietly back away from the situation. You can always reengage the discussion once everyone’s emotions settle down.

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.

New Moon Report for Sept. 23rd – Sun in Libra

Sun in Libra

Friday, September 23, 2:05 am PDT, 5:05 am EDT

This is the Autumnal Equinox above the equator and Spring Equinox below. Libra the scales is the partnership sign, marking the balance of day and night. Awareness of where we stand in the borderlands of self and others is the key to relationships and Libra’s primary task. But like Venus in Libra, the Sun’s opposition to Uranus on the 25th, square to Pluto on the 28th and conjunction with Saturn on October 13 can brew up some mighty storms. Alliances may be shaken and stirred in unexpected ways, yet freedom and cooperation are potential rewards.

Daily Insight For September 21

Daily Insight

Wednesday, September 21, 2011
By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox

Feelings are on the surface, as the Moon continues through emotional Cancer. Business is likely to go smoothly, as long as you’re sensitive to others’ feelings. Cancer the Crab is highly resourceful, and it can be a good day to work on increasing your security and protecting your assets. The morning hours are especially favorable. The Moon forms a happy sextile with jovial Jupiter, bringing a mood of expansion and possibility. Dealing with real estate and financial matters is favorable. You’ll probably be in the mood to stay home this evening. Cook a nurturing meal, or reach out to your favorite family member. Later tonight the Moon makes a tense square to stern Saturn and some crankiness is possible. Better to pull back and find a way to give yourself the support you need. You may not be able to get what you want from others right now.
